MAKEvents in the best of the best!
Maricel & Ingrid are simply amazing! I used MAKEvents for Day Of Coordination and, knowing what I know now, I wish I had gone with them for their other services as well!!
The first time I met with Maricel (via zoom, because we live away) for our consultation she found two mistakes in one of my other vendor’s contracts. This find saved me $400!! It was wording I totally missed but she saw it right away.
Once back in town for wedding week, I met with Maricel & Ingrid in person at my venue. They arrived early and scoped out the building. They both had wonderful suggestions on how the day should flow. Their calming presence was something I definitely needed in the lead up to the big day!
Ingrid was my day-of coordinator, so she attended our rehearsal at the venue. She was so prepared, led us through the entire ceremony (from entering to exiting, who walks when, who stands where, etc.) and certainly helped us get excited for the real event!
On our wedding day, Ingrid was right there with us from morning till evening. Ingrid ensured hair & makeup were progressing according to schedule, she checked in with the best man to make sure all groomsmen + groom were where they needed to be & getting ready, and checked in with other vendors to ensure their timely arrival for ceremony & reception.
Something I was concerned about for our wedding was the decor (to clarify, I had a different vendor hired for decorating). The decorator went into the venue the morning of the wedding (which believe it is standard practice) so everything was being set up while I was getting ready. I don’t exactly like surprises.. so I was concerned to be walking down the aisle dreading the look of the place. Ingrid went down to the venue about two hours before us to ensure everything was set up the way I had envisioned and sent me pictures!! I really appreciated her doing this, so that I wasn't be surprised when walking in!
The day flowed perfectly (in our opinion!). If there was anything that went astray it was handled and I, nor the groom, were made aware of it. Thanks to Ingrid, we were able to enjoy our day and not worry about a single thing.
Day of coordination services are high on the list of things I recommend to other brides, and now, after my own wedding, MAKEvents is at the very top of my list of vendors that I recommend to others! Their team delivered my expectations and then some! MAKEvents in the best of the best.
