Daly Planning

There is not enough space to write about how incredible Daly is. She made the wedding planning process fun, relaxed, and organized. She is easy to get in contact with, professional, passionate, and truly knowledgeable. She connected us with the best people in the business to ensure our wedding day was a complete and total success. I would recommend her to any couple looking to make the process of planning your special day organized and relaxed. We do not know what we would have done without her!

I wish I could give Daly 6 stars! She was everything we needed to make our wedding day run smoothly, and as the bride, I did not have to worry about minor details and timelines, as Daly took care of everything. She was punctual, energetic, extremely organized, and on top of everything. If you're on the fence about hiring a day of planner, DO IT with Daly! We would have regretted not hiring her, as she made the weekend so much more enjoyable and stress-free.

I am so very glad that we hired Daly for our “weekend of” planner. I am the mother of the bride, and I am a perfectionist. I knew that I needed someone else to take the reigns so that I could relax and enjoy our daughter’s big day. Daly was incredible. From our first phone call, I felt that we had made the right choice. Even though we originally hired her as a “day of” planner, she was very forthcoming with all sorts of useful information about the area — hotels, restaurants, vendor suggestions, etc. She was always generous with her time on our phone calls. On the wedding weekend I saw all of her strengths; Daly is extremely organized, professional, energetic, and attentive to details. There were so many moments when I was happy that she was at the wedding, but one of my favorites was right before the processional when she corralled the 10 groomsmen and said, “take your cell phones out of your pockets, button your top button, and take the sunglasses off your heads.” All things that I was thinking, and she took care of it all. Bottom line: hiring Daly was an excellent decision!

Do not wait on booking Daly as your planner! I was told by multiple people that using a venue coordinator would be enough but after going with my gut, I was beyond pleased! Daly was 110% there for my husband and I to make sure everything was done the way we wanted it, not other vendors. She stood up for us on multiple occasions and was extremely personable yet strict with vendors about how things were going to run. The day went flawlessly with Daly helping us out. Even my mom, who can be a perfectionist and tough critic was obsessed with Daly and her work! My only regret is that I only hired Daly for “day of” and I would Tell anyone, she is worth every penny, and if you have never planned a large event or happen to be moving 3 weeks before your wedding out of state like I did, hire Daly for more than just the day of!!!! She is a true wedding planner/coordinator dream!!!! I can’t say enough good things about her.

Daly is absolutely incredible - she made our wedding day so enjoyable and I truly did not have to worry about a thing because I knew she was there taking care of everything. Leading up to the wedding she was so helpful, communicative, and responsive to every single one of my texts/calls with even the smallest questions. Everything on our wedding day went as planned and she kept us running on time and everything running smoothly. I cannot recommend her enough and to all future brides, you need her for your wedding!!

We worked with Daly for the year leading up to our wedding and I could not recommend her more. Daly was critical in helping to keep us on schedule, settle planning debates between me and my husband and was an incredible advocate when we had a couple of venue challenges. On the day of, it was like having a trusted friend with us all day. I never needed to worry because I knew Daly would be on it. Daly was such a big part of our wonderful wedding and we cannot thank her enough!

Daly was an amazing resource and support for our wedding. My husband and I put together our wedding in about 9 months and Daly made the process so much easier. I don’t think she ever went more than an hour without returning my email and was even quicker with the random text questions that popped up. Everytime I had a moment of feeling lost Daly helped get me back on track. On the day of she made everything so flawlessly easy that I truly felt like I got to just enjoy things and trust that everything was going how it should be. Cannot recommend her enough!

I could recommend Daly all day long and it still might not be enough. My husband and I originally booked SFV as our venue and another couple who were married there recommended Daly. We briefly met her at a holiday party but I wasn't 100% sold on hiring a planner yet. After months of persistence by my husband, we had a phone call with Daly and I was absolutely sold! We hired her for weekend of services but she was above and beyond reachable throughout the 2 months prior. We unfortunately had to change venues with 35 days before our big day and Daly was extremely helpful, very reassuring, and a million other adjectives. Daly helped wrangle in my loud family during rehearsal to ensure the day of would be perfect. She organized our timeline and ensured all of our vendors were following the schedule day of. I cannot thank Daly enough for all that she did to help us have the perfect day and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, strong, flexible planner!

When my wife and I decided we were going to get married at Saltwater Farm Vineyard, they recommended Daly as a day of coordinator. Right when we sat down with Daly, I knew she would take care of us on our special day. She is just an amazing person with great energy. A couple standout moments: - We had 14 people in our bridal party. When we were lining up to walk into the venue it was not easy to get everyone to take direction. But let me tell you, when Daly spoke everyone fell in line. She also managed all these characters during the rehearsal too. She is all business in the best possible way. - At the end of the night there were a couple people from the bridal party who stayed to help my wife change into her 2nd outfit for the after party. When we arrived at the after party, we pull up at the same time as Daly. I was wondering why she was there but then I see some of our bridal party coming out of the van. I have no idea how that happened but it just shows how amazing Daly is. She also has great relationships with all the local vendors. Every time we told a vendor we were working with Daly, they all knew her and sang her praises. She also really helped us when we needed to make decisions. She did a great job of walking us through things and made us consider things we would not of thought of without her. We don't know what we would of done without Daly throughout this experience. We really loved our wedding and one of the reasons it was perfect is because of Daly. We can't say enough good things about Daly and we will forever be grateful to her for how special she made our wedding.

Daly was the single best vendor decision we made for our wedding. When I decided I wanted to hire Daly, in the beginning my husband thought it was unnecessary and was kind of against it. I even waited a while before I officially brought her in for "weekend of" help. By the end of our wedding, my husband was hugging her with gratitude for keeping me sane and present. All the questions I thought would be annoying to ask my girls or was "not the job" of my other vendors, I asked Daly. Bless her because the questions ranged from day of bridesmaid pajamas recommendations to dress alterations debacles to coordinating guest seating. I don't think she ever took more than 30 seconds to text or email me back. The girl is crazy responsive. And on the day of she just made it all run so smoothly. Our bridal party were slightly scared of her and it was excellent. She could honestly run a small country. She commands attention and people just do what she says. Knowing some one like her was running our day allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry about a thing. I adore her. Hire her ladies!

Working with Daly was hands-down one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process! The owners of Saltwater Farm Vineyard had nothing but glowing recommendations of her work and you can tell why as soon as you meet her. Daly has a passion for events, coordination, and her clients that shows in every single interaction with her. We decided to work with Daly later in the planning process but she jumped right in and was there whenever I had what I was sure was a silly question or concern and offered suggestions and insights that not only made me feel at ease, but made a huge impact on our wedding day. The day of our wedding Daly was constant source of calm that we could not be more grateful for. When she learned that our officiant wouldn’t arrive by our ceremony start time she kept us (and our families!) calm and came to us with not one but three different solutions. If we didn’t have Daly that day I honestly don’t know what we would have done! Our parents and bridal party are still constantly praising how great Daly was and how lucky we were to have her. Daly epitomizes everything you could ever dream of in a perfect wedding planner and coordinator, she’s energetic, has an incredible attention to detail, has an amazing network of local vendors, is confident and unflappable, and so much more. She ensures that the bride, groom, and their families don’t have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. Every step of the way she made us feel that we were her only clients and that she would go above and beyond to guarantee our day was everything we dreamed of. I would recommend Daly to any couple getting married and our only regret is not hiring her sooner!

Daly is absolutely, 100%, the reason our wedding day went as smoothly as it did. I was recommended to her by our venue and it was one of the best decisions I made throughout the planning process. I was very overwhelmed at the thought of planning a wedding, and from my first conversation with Daly, I instantly felt peace and that I was in extremely capable hands. We initially hired Daly for weekend-of coordination, but she became such an integral part in our planning conversations throughout the summer that we ended up contracting her for planning services to get us through the last few months. She went above and beyond her role and even saved us thousands of dollars by giving us tips and tricks on how to cut costs. She kept me on track in the months leading up to the big day as I tended to be a bit indecisive on most big decisions! We could always count on Daly to reply within minutes of us emailing her our crazy questions, and her patience and understanding never wavered. By the time the wedding day came, we both felt like one of our very good friends was coordinating our wedding. Daly kept things running smoothly when we were behind schedule and stopped me before I had a major meltdown when the weather forced us to have our ceremony indoors. There was never a moment we doubted her expertise and I’m so glad. She even kept her cool when our venue lost power due to the heavy storms! Whether you work with Daly for day-of, weekend-of, or full planning services, she is guaranteed to knock it out of the park!

Daly played a major role through the planning and day-of. She was my calm force through the entire day, communicated things to me that were potential issues, and asked how I wanted to change them, then executed perfectly. No one was wiser that anything was amiss from the original plan, and she is the reason that happened. The entire wedding ran smooth, and everyone enjoyed their time. Over the course of planning, she reminded me of things we had discussed I couldn't recall, and helped my husband in a major way that went beyond her contract. She cares about her clients in an incredible way, and makes sure they have details squared away along with additional support when needed. I would not have had such a spectacular day without her, and it would not have run as smoothly as it did either. I highly recommend her in the Mystic, CT area!

My husband and I were initially skeptical about hiring a wedding planner, but my mother was convinced it was a good idea. Are we glad that we listened to her! We hired Daly and she did an absolutely amazing job! Since booking our venue almost a year early, Daly was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process from immediately answering all of my questions to reaching out to vendors. With one month to go, we really saw how important Daly’s role was as she took on the difficult task of coordinating all of the vendors and other miscellaneous details that really make the wedding run seamlessly. Daly also helped us with our rehearsal dinner and did an amazing job setting up the venue and decor. Daly’s professionalism and passion made the planning process fun and ensured we had an absolutely amazing wedding day!
