On WeddingWire since 2016

Don't Mess With The Bride is a one-of-a-kind Wedding Coordinator and Planner. We specialize in DIY Couples with some planning along the way. Want help from Engagement to Happily Ever After? We do that too! Here's what makes us different:

- We offer Male & Female Event Managers. We offer a different, no-drama approach to any bumps in the road. Cool and collected is how we roll.

- Our Emergency Kit includes: a drill, extension cords, wire, rope, plug adaptors, a hammer, glue, duct tape (lots of it) and extra snacks! Most emergencies that we've run into call for one of the above... Bobby Pins and tissues... We can find that too, but more than likely, you've got that covered!

- We offer staff from 1 - 10 folks! If you just want someone to keep you on schedule from your rehearsal to the toasts, we can do that. If you want us to transform a room from ceremony to reception in less than an hour? We can do that too!

- We can boss your friends around. We have no issues telling your friends what to do... To save on budget, just give us several "muscle" and "Finesse" and we'll make Wedding Magic happen!

DMWTB is the best!

If you're on the fence about hiring Don't Mess With the Bride, JUST DO IT!! We had a small wedding (30 people) and didn't know if a day-of planner would be necessary, but it 100% was. Will's organization before the big day was very helpful, and he brought up multiple things that I never would have thought about. We also used their stereo rental, which worked perfectly. Thank you, Will and Melissa!

A worry free service to enjoy your big day!

DMWTB was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I live out in Illinois but wanted our wedding in Oregon since that is where most of our friends and family live. We used Will Eichelberger and HIGHLY recommend him. Even though we hired a day coordinator instead of a full planner, it still felt like he helped me with every step. We didn't have to do a single thing on the wedding day and were able to enjoy it to the fullest.

Worth every penny!

Kari was a PHENOMENAL day-of coordinator. She kept on top of last-minute emails, ensured the day ran smoothly, and even followed up afterwards with observations about which rentals never got delivered. She has a very calming presence, so when she asked me questions, it was always in a way that kept me in a great headspace for the big day. She was patient with and kind to my family, including my cognitively-impaired dad, which meant a lot. I can’t recommend her highly enough! If you are debating booking a day-of coordinator, DO IT, and book Don’t Mess with the Bride. It will make your day so much more enjoyable.

If you haven't considered "day of" coordination services you might want to chat with Will at Don't Mess with the Bride. He can make things a lot easier and less stressful for the bride, and others, at any type of wedding.
