As your typical “Bride-On-A-Budget,” I thought hiring a wedding coordinator was something only wealthy people could do. It wasn’t until a coworker of mine said that NOT hiring a day-of coordinator was her biggest regret, that I started to take ...the idea seriously. And as it turns out, Brenda practically paid for herself! She saved me a $300 flower delivery fee, at least a couple hundred off the DJ, and she has countless other connections in the industry for things like rentals, photo booths, etc.
In addition to being one of the sweetest people I worked with, Brenda was punctual, detail-oriented, kept me on task, and educated me about wedding day traditions and norms. Having her vast amount of knowledge went a long way. She built a detailed timeline of every single activity from the rehearsal dinner, all the way to the after party. I really can’t imagine my day without her and her assistant, Abbey. How in the world could I have set up all of the decorations on my own, paid attention to the time, herded guests and family members to the correct locations for pictures, and cleaned up the entire venue before rushing off to our after party? Answer: I couldn’t.
Brenda - You are amazing. Thank you so much for the indispensable role you played in our special day. You are worth so much more than you charge, but I have to thank you for being so reasonable, otherwise I might not have ever met you!
