My husband and I hired Teresa for day of services for our wedding and we were blown away! Teresa started by organizing our timeline weeks before the big day which took a huge amount of stress off of my plate. She also accompanied us at our final walkthrough at the venue as well as the rehearsal the night before the wedding. Teresa is extremely timely and very detail oriented! We loved getting to work with her as she made sure our day went as smooth as possible! Teresa and her team truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough for all of the hard work she put into our wedding!

Best Friend Events was our day-of wedding coordinator. Theresa and her team were extremely helpful and organized. She helped create a timeline and coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. She was at the rehearsal to help plan the ceremony and was at the venue from the moment we arrived to the very end of the reception. Without Best Friend Events we would have had the most chaotic wedding. Would 100% recommend!

Thank you, Michelle! We had a great time being a part of your big day and are so happy to...
have been a part of your wedding team. The donuts were a hit, the bonfire was rockin, and the dance floor was hoppin! Couldn't ask for anything more!
