Highly Recommend Day of Events!

Day of Events was the perfect addition to our wedding day! From the initial consultation, all our questions were answered, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. Sandra was instrumental in helping us find event staff, securing a liquor license, and planning the timeline for the day. Our day-of coordinator, Adrijana, was absolutely amazing. From the initial setup to running the event, she kept everything organized and made the day extra magical for us. Our guests are still talking about how well the day went, thanks to Adrijana and the rest of her team. Thank you again to everyone at Day of Events!

Sandra is amazing

Sandra M and her colleague Sandra supported our wedding in June and we are SO grateful for everything that they did to have the day run smoothly. Sandra is very easy to work with; adaptable, open minded, experienced, calm, and organized. She helped us to make sure that we had all of our planning ready, and completely took over day of so that we didn't have to think about anything. It was such a relief to have her there to handle all of the vendors, keep our timing on track, and answer any of our guests/vendors questions. Would definitely recommend her team and we are so happy that we hired her!

Sandra was responsive, professional, and creative. She worked within my budget and timeframe, and was able to help source last-minute help. Knowing we

I had done much of the big-item sourcing, but was desperate for day-of help. Someone who could be a sounding board, talk me off the ledge, help with last-minute details (like assembling the centerpieces and placing them) and be the point person to ensure everything ran smoothly for the event itself. Being able to hand everything off meant I got to enjoy the party, and Sandra stayed through to the end making sure everything was put away, cleaned up, and in order. She remembered things I forgot, double checked with me when she wanted to adapt things to flow more smoothly, and was overall awesome. It was like having your ultra-competent big sister there to provide support, give advice, and make sure things Got Handled.

I'll add that while she does do full-blown planning, I just wanted defined support on the day, and a bit of sounding-board advice. She was the only person I found who didn't want to upsell me, and also didn't try to take over the event and overlay her own vision. She was a real support in exactly the way I needed and wanted. And I'm also sure she would do a stunning job if she were planning the whole thing start to finish, given how knowledgeable and thoughtful she was with us!

Amazing experience

Sandra was extremely organized and helpful with planning our wedding. We were on the fence about having a day of coordinator, but it was 1000% worth it, especially with Sandra and her team to help during the wedding. Sandra was very knowledgeable about wedding planning, especially the small details that new brides may miss. Would highly recommend!

Professional and effective, making our day absolutely stress-free.

Sandra was an absolute pleasure to work with! We came into our wedding weekend thinking we had it all under control. But we ran out of time setting everything up on Friday and Saturday morning, and Sandra swooped in, completed set-up, monitored the arrivals of vendors and guests, had a Plan B when we were worried the DJ wouldn't arrive, and kept us on schedule - all whilst ensuring we were having fun and our vision was met. She also helped us with take-down at the end of the night without us realizing she was doing it, making the next day so much smoother. She was helpful, effective, non-disruptive and our guests loved her! Don't hesitate to hire her!

Sandra will make your day go PERFECTLY.

Sandra is a beautiful soul with a special talent for staying chill and low-key while still somehow being on top of everything. A word of caution for brides who like to have everything fully organized too far in advance: at first when we hired her (a few months before our wedding), I was worried because her responses were a bit slow as she was busy with other weddings - what I learned later though, is that as a day-of coordinator, she will make whatever wedding she is working her TOP priority in the week before the wedding, and she will throw herself fully into organization for your wedding that whole week.

I had nothing but A+ feedback about Sandra from my family, friends, and other vendors. She is so sweet, caring, and thoughtful and maintains such a calm demeanor. As our coordinator, she was on top of everything while somehow staying low key and blending into the background. Our wedding ran PERFECTLY and I know that Sandra was a major part in making that happen. Thank you, Sandra, for making our wedding the best day ever!

Amazing team!

Sandra has been excellent since day 1 of contact, we're so happy we decided to work with Day of Events. We highly recommend!
Her assistant Abigail also did such a great job on our wedding day. You can tell these ladies are passionate about what they do and we can't imagine how our day would have turned out if we didn't have their service and professionalism guiding our day from the morning to the end of the night and taking care of all the little touches that would've been overlooked. they truly helped make our wedding the dream that it was.

Thank you Sandra and Abigail!!

Sandra is literally the BEST

The biggest and best thing I can recommend to any bride would be to hire Sandra as your day of coordinator. She went above and beyond to help keep everything at our wedding running smoothly and did so with such ease and grace. Sandra took the initiative to do things before I even asked, which made everything so efficient and stress-less. Our wedding ended up being the wedding of our dreams, and most of it was attributed to Sandra's hard work. If we could give her a million stars out of 5, we would! Hire Sandra.
