We discussed for my napkin fold to replicate the pink one. I don’t have to say much. We can visually see it doesn’t look like it. I was also supposed to have bud vases with individ...
ual roses or two roses in each bud vase on the tables with the candles and that didn’t happen either. My card box was suppose to be on a table with a tablecloth that I paid for and it was supposed to have a card signage on the same table which was also paid for. Instead it was placed on a white column. She also stated she was going to steam the lines and my linens all had creases in them like how they come straight out of the package. What we discussed was not executed. The owner, Yolonda STRESSED how big she was on execution and how that was very important to her, however the design wasn’t executed properly.
I am extremely grateful for Yolonda and the services provided with By Love Events. I came to her with a last minute private event I needed executed in four weeks, and she went abov...
e and beyond to make it happen. Not only did she help with design details, she also facilitated communication between vendors and myself. She was very organized, professional, and despite time constraints ensured us that everything would be taken care of before the event date. BLE helped my vision come to life and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect event.
We had the pleasure of planning our wedding with By Love Events & Design. Yolonda was our lead planner for the entire year of planning. My husband and I were always in awe of her d...
esign vision and the level of work that she did for us. There were so many things in the wedding planning process that we would have missed had we not had the BLE team by our side. She was extremely helpful in vendor communication as well. The day of was an absolute dream because of their attention to detail, professionalism and calm demeanor. We had a large wedding party and a lot of moving parts but that was no issue for the BLE team. Our timeline was very well thought out and executed! We most definitely recommend By Love Events & Design.
I would recommend Yolonda and By Love Events to any couple! She worked with me for around 2 years as we postponed our wedding multiple times due to Covid. She made all my wedding d...
reams come true within my budget. I cannot thank her enough!
I chose to work with Yolonda & Bryan of By Love Events for month-of wedding coordination, but after seeing them in action, I wish I chose them to plan and design the whole event! Y...
olonda was such a professional and so easy to work with. During my final month of wedding planning, there were things that I would have totally forgot had it not been for ByLove giving me constant reminders of what needed to be done. On the day of my wedding, even when I went into panic mode, Yolonda was there with a solution. She was so calm and helpful, even when I was a wreck! To this day, the wedding party and all of my wedding guests are still raving about how organized the event was. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would choose ByLove Events & Design every single time.
Yolonda ByLove Events is truly amazing. She did an amazing job with bringing my vision to LIFE. She reminds me of myself in so many ways. She has a great eye for detail! I’m so hap...
py that I chose her to assist me in planning my wedding day. This was a stress free process and she was with me every step of the way. I couldn’t have chosen someone better. Thanks so much!!!
Yolonda at Bylove Events is a master. I called her mid February with nothing planned, and I only had two available dates, both less than 90 days away.
After one meeting, Yolonda ...
understood my vision, my concerns and my budget. She did the research for a venue - and what we found was amazing, even though when she first mentioned it, I wasn’t sure. Every vendor she suggested was professional, accommodating, and in my budget. And the vendors love working with her, because she is organized, professional and FUN!!!
Day-of coordination. She sent me a timeline. I told her, I just need to know when and where you need me. She was all set. If there were problems, I never knew about them. Everything ran on schedule except the end of the reception, because everyone was having such a good time that they didn’t want to leave.
My husband and I were able to have fun and enjoy each other on our wedding day. We were surrounded by friends and family who have commented that they have never seen such a well-organized reception. Our officiant touched people’s hearts. Our venue amazed, our decorations were beautiful, the DJ kept the party jumping, the food and cake were so good, and our pictures provide beautiful evidence of all of it. Because of Yolonda.
Love her!!
From beginning to end they made this experience for us absolutely amazing! Their hard work and dedication to us made our day that much more remarkable! The planning, providing advi...
ce and giving directions and recommendations when needed, and overall attention to detail was outstanding! This wedding would not have been successful without them!
