Chelsia L. Sent on 17/09/2023Above and beyond on the wedding day
Our wedding day was filled with laughter and happiness (and tiredness from waking up early for hair and makeup). And to rewind, there was an unforeseen hick-up the week before the wedding where Candy swooped into the rescue for the stressed out and overwhelmed bride and groom. We hired the team more than a year before the wedding and Candy met with us at least once a month to go over what we needed to do and provided vendor details and options for us. We were more than happy with the vendors we selected for the day! I will preface that I am a naturally angsty bride and so I took on some tasks on my own to appease my mind.
Candy joined us for our rehearsal the day before the wedding, and was the best coordinator on the day of the wedding. My husband and I did not need to look at any schedule on the day, and felt like Holywood stars on the day. She and her assistant did above and beyond for us and we are so thankful for them! We highly recommend their services! -

Our experience with Candy and Sally as our Full Wedding Planning Coordinators was absolutely amazing! From our first consultation to the last moment of our special day, they were always very accommodating and have always listened to our priorities. They took the time to understand our vision, offering creative ideas while respecting our budget. As we all know, planning a wedding is not easy and it comes with a lot of challenges and stress. However, with Candy and Sally as our wedding planners, they made sure that we were stress-free and able to fully enjoy our wedding day and handled any unexpected last minute changes with ease. The wedding day was so much fun and we are so thankful that we had Behind The I Do by our side throughout our whole wedding planning journey. -

Choosing a wedding coordinator to help with our month of and day of planning was the best decision we made. It was very easy to work with Sally and every step leading up to the wedding, she was there to offer helpful tips and suggestions. Sally is very organized, super detail oriented and responsive. She coordinated with all our vendors to make sure all the details were covered. Most importantly, she made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding and we truly did not have to stress about anything. Leading up to the wedding we had no doubts that we could leave everything in Sally’s capable hands. Thank you so much Sally for putting our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our special day! -

Behind the I Do/Sally was our month/day-of-coordinator for our wedding. They were one of the best decisions we made in our wedding
Part of the reason we hired them was because of their familiarity of the Chinese tea ceremony. Indeed they were integral behind the scenes in switching out the tea cups and giving us a base to work from.
Moreover, Sally was professional and personable. We had two planning meetings on Zoom and she produced a succinct schedule document — much better than schedules that are 6+ pages! During the last weeks, she offered to be cc’d in all emails to vendors which helped us to know she knew what was going on. She attended our rehearsal and helped run it with our pastor. She even brought faux bouquets for me and my bridesmaids to practice. Behind the I Do also has a small rental business and we were able to rent umbrellas just prior to our wedding — fortunately we didn’t need to use them!
Sally executed our vision perfectly. As a partial DIY couple she was indispensable in setting up our decor. We were able to mostly relax the day because Sally was running the show. There were probably many things that happened that we don’t know of because she handled it all with her assistant.
We highly recommend Behind the I Do to be your wedding DOC. -

Candy was able to fine-tune the tiny details and provide us everything we would need. From the big schedules to the tiny reception table affects.
She was there in the literal rainy times (storm happened during our wedding day) to the tough tricky times of trying to secure vendors and materials.

Candy & Sally were our super fantastic fairy godmothers both during and leading up to our wedding. We booked them as our month-of wedding coordinators. Even when we thought we'd have things pretty well covered before we had our first chats with them; Candy & Sally surprised us (in an absolutely great way) with gently nudging us on thoughtful details and aspects which we should consider for the comfort of our guests and helpers.
We couldn't hear enough amazing complements from both our parents and the elders in our family, who relayed just how much Candy & Sally helped out throughout the day, and put them at ease (with helping the day run smoothly, but also with keeping them informed of what to expect). The two of them work so well together handling both logistics, and decor - they have some serious wedding superpowers.
Some of the highlights:
Candy - helped run our wedding party through the rehearsal - and kindly interceded our officiant to add in helpful details and hints on where to stand, placement, ordering, practice walks/runs, and helped us play our music selections too. When we were worried about possible cold weather and wind during the ceremony (which we wanted to hold outdoors!), she took this all in stride and helped shuttle our guests indoors to outdoors at the last possible moment so that everyone could keep warm for as long as possible. She truly put the comfort of our guests and volunteers first in all instances. We're also pretty thankful she knew how to help us run through our Chinese tea ceremony. Anytime any one had a question, Candy was able to sort it out and come up with a quick solution. Thank you!!!
Sally - Similar to Candy, she was very thorough and detailed on all aspects of the decor we could think of. While we had vague ideas and concepts, she encouraged us to materialize these and helped us to realize our vision on the big day (we had quite a bit of particular details and signage, and everything was executed to a tee!). Even at the end of the night when we encouraged Sally to finally please head home (she'd already done all the amazing work of packing up the decor and helping us with the clean up!); she still insisted on staying and even helped the rest of our wedding party load ourselves and our luggage onto a bus to our B&B - in the heavy rain mind you. We were seriously in awe of her dedication to see us off and help us as much as possible.
Last highlight (amongst the many other things which aren't mentioned here but which they helped us with) - we flipped quite a bit of our decor from our outdoor ceremony to our indoor reception, all during our short cocktail hour. Candy and Sally were amazing with running this all through and getting everything set up in no time at all. We also appreciated their quick thinking on rejuggling items on our itinerary when any of us fell behind. No one noticed at all - which I thought was a real testament to how experienced and reliable they both are.
We can't thank them both enough - and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to have their wedding done run smoothly, beautifully, and stress free! They really helped us enjoy our special day 🥰❤️💖Behind the 'I Do' Wedding Planning Services's reply:
