very instructions. She put together our timeline, visited the venue with us and was generally a huge help in the lead up to the big day. On the wedding day I knew I would need help but she made sure everything went off without a hitch. Everyone in my family was equally impressed how helpful, kind and organized Drena was. Her assistant Gloria was also so kinda. They were both there to make sure that we as the couple didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We are so grateful for everything that they did for us, they really made our day perfect. I cannot recommend Day of Guru enough to anyone that is looking for a wedding coordinator.

k up on small details such as providing drinks , towels and fans during photograph sessions. This was among the many other gestures that were next level and greatly enhanced our event. I would definitely recommend them for your next event!

ce for our wedding planning leading up to our wedding this past summer. She communicated with our vendors to ensure they were organized and ready to make our big day a huge success. One unfortunate event happened with our original DJ vendor 4 days before our wedding and Drena reconciled the situation quickly. After opting to dismiss our original DJ vendor due to his lack of professionalism, Drena found us a replacement DJ within 1 hour. We were booked and on a call with the replacement DJ by the next day -- and he did not disappointment (best decision ever made). On the day of the wedding, Drena kept everyone on schedule and was very pleasant to all of our guests. We have guests that have made several comments about how wonderful Drena and Gloria were at the wedding. In all, we are HIGHLY satisfied with the services provided to make our day AMAZING. We will most definitely refer Day of Guru to all of our family and friends for future events. Thank you for EVERYTHING!

off, she was on it! She knows her stuff! Drena is very organized, kind, punctual, and professional. She is the best in the business. I cannot thank her and her assistant enough for our wedding day success

sed. Things went smooth on the big day, and we started on time. Any problem that came up she was able to fix without hesitation.

ding was beautiful and a success thanks to Drena and her team.

is saying enough. I could only imagine how she is as the full on coordinator. My brother who got married before me recommended her and she followed through with everything he said. The best decision we made for our special day. I definitely recommend her no questions asked. She is definitely on her game top notch professionalism!

g picture and all of the little details that had been overwhelming me. Once we found Drena and started working with her, my stress level dropped exponentially. She consistently went above and beyond our expectations and was always positive and professional. Her assistant, Gloria, was also wonderful. I highly recommend Drena!

from a many of coordinators we clicked instantly and she was able to see my vision and help me bring it to life as well as being honest if one of my visions wouldn't possibly work and I thank her for that, lol. She was helpful and there every step of the way as well as going over and beyond for our special day. Our guest has asked us who was our coordinator and we were happy to refer! We were not disappointed and if you go with Drena you won't be either. Drena will forever be a part our family.

d questions I hadn’t even thought of, reviewed Our contracts to make sure we were getting everything we paid for, arranged everything with vendors for the day of so all I had to do was show up! The day of the wedding I didn’t get a single phone call from vendors I got to sit back and enjoy getting ready without any addition stress. Drenna made sure our ceremony was set up to my liking, that my wedding party was together and everything ran smooth from ceremony to reception. If you are on the fence about hiring her don’t be it is the best money I spend on my wedding and I’d do it again. She made our day even more special by easing our nerves becauSe we where confident in her skills to handle things!

Husband and I vision. I enjoyed working with Drena and I highly recommend her.

it’s her wedding!

ay enough about Drena. I planned my wedding, but Drena made it make sense and flow appropriately. I didn't have to worry about any hiccups as Drena took care of it all. Drena is ALL about the bride and groom, making sure you are relaxed and focused, meanwhile she is running around like the head of secret service. Drena pays attention to detail - small and large. I needed a DJ and she recommended someone based on what we were looking for and she made our wedding day timeline come together flawlessly. Drena is the consummate professional at all times and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I consider her family at this point. Look no further - Drena is Nothing short of amazing. Thank you!!

e had without her. She was professional, diligent, she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure every single detail was on point. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding day because of her presence. I'm certain that I don't even truly know the extent of all she did for us on our wedding day and prior. I trusted her and she delivered us the wedding day of our dreams. If I could go back in time I would have hired her the day I got engaged. WEDDING PLANNING AND DAY OF COORDINATION is the most essential element to your day and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Hire Drena and thank me later :)

ith Drena last year in September. Within about a week we inked our contract with Drena for full service planning and design. Drena was fun to work with, she was organized, she has an amazing eye for design, and she thought of things I would have never considered. She was also amazing with helping to select vendors that were perfect for my vision. For example when I showed her the floral designs I wanted she contacted and set up a meeting with the perfect florist that fit my budget. She was always on top of things. I was extremely impressed with her attentiveness leading up to the wedding however the day of the wedding she showed up and showed out and far surpassed my expectations. She kept us on schedule, she made sure everything was impeccable, we literally had no worries, everyone loved her. Whenever I had an issue throughout the process and the day of Drena solved the problem. From bustling my dress, bringing my bouquet to the first look location, talking me through wedding issues like loosing a bridesmaid. Drena is truly a bride’s best friend. I can’t sing her praises enough.

room and I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. I was completely stress-free knowing that Drena had everything taken care of from the beginning of the day to the very end of the night. I've since gone to other weddings and now have an even heightened appreciation for just how amazing Drena is at what she does.

as an event coordinator to anyone.

llence and with thoughtfulness. She just seemed to be prepared for just about any wedding day hiccup there was and knew how to resolve it with gracefulness. Definitely book her at your next wedding! She will bring ease to your BIG day!

y. Plus, her eye for event styling and design is on point. Everyone loved the decor. I've recommended to her to my friends. Very professional and highly recommend.

n our special day. Everything was perfect! Everything went smoothly and on time. I have never been to a wedding that was a organized as mine, even though I hate to brag on my own wedding :) Drena embodied every small and large detail that we wanted to see for our wedding. From the head table setup to the tiny pearls in the vases on our guest tables. Even last minutes changes were executed flawlessly. Drena, you were a blessing to my family and I and we cannot thank you enough for everything! I would recommend your services to any and everybody. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

he attended to my friend’s Need. She was very pleasant. She did a Great job!

s as least stressful for the bride and groom. She was professional and personable, and even took time out to make sure guests were enjoying themselves! In all, I was thoroughly impressed by her work!

of the celebration that I had not considered. However, her expertise really helped us to make great choices that allowed my daughter to have a flawless wedding day. So very happy that we chose her and I would recommend Drena for any event.

re everyone was attentive and in position, herded the guests from one spot to another and went out of her way to do things that other vendors were supposed to do but did not come through with. And she did it all with a smile. Not once did I feel any pressure on my wedding day, nor did my wife because adrenaline just handled everything. Any question we asked, she had an answer for. I seriously have no idea how this wedding would have been pulled off without her. My entire family as well as my wife’s could not stop raving about how wonderful and helpful Drena was. Aside from the wedding itself, she was the next most talked about thing! Drena, I cannot thank you enough for what you did this weekend! You embraced the Filipino traditions and made sure each our 240 guests felt comfortable all while running around like a mad woman making sure everything else went off without a hitch! We will forever remember our wedding day as the best day of our life, and you were such a large part of why. Thank you!

cided to host our wedding in St. Louis, MO. Drena visited venues, she took pictures, and she coordinated with all of our vendors for the day. I never had to worry about a payment or email being sent. She was on top of it of it all! I attempted to plan the wedding myself in the earlier stages of planning, thank goodness I found Drena or there wouldn't have been a wedding. I cannot stress enough of how great of a planner she is. On our wedding day, my husband and I were running around greeting our guests, she approached me and asked, "why aren't you all eating?" Very simple question but it let me know that she was concerned for our well being that day. I cannot stress enough how talented and professional she is. She deserves 10 stars!

ideas together and to give us insight to the aspects of Wedding Planning that we hadn't thought of yet (and someone to help execute the majority of the wedding plans). Drena did just that and much more. She reached out to us consistently to ensure we had all we needed leading up to the wedding day and during. What we didn't have, she made sure we knew how to get it or that it was covered. She stepped in on the day of our wedding and helped for each moment that we needed it. From ensuring we had the right pictures and angles with our photographer, to ensuring the DJ was perfectly aligned with our plans for the Reception. Drena. was.everywhere! She was also extremely flexible to our ideas and if/when they changed. When we decided on the day of our wedding that we wanted to have a sparkler exit from the reception, DRENA MADE SURE IT HAPPENED! Reaching out to her was a great decision and we would choose her again. My recommendation to those reading, trying to determine who to choose as a Wedding Planner, who is affordable, consistent, cares about your wedding and is invested in your day, then I say your search has ended. If you need someone who will give you guides to make your life easier, encouragement, check-ins, and ensuring you have exactly what you want for your big day, we HIGHLY recommend Drena!

y wedding and reception was well planned and executed. She literally made sure everything was taken care of...coordinating with vendors, ordering cakes, ensuring venue was prepared, etc. It all ran so smoothly. I will definitely hire her again for upcoming events. Thank Drena for making sure my wedding day was PERFECT!!

that couldn't go unnoticed by all my guests. I'm thankful to Drena and her team for their commitment and dedication to providing excellent service during the high stress moments of planning and executing.

the team who could fill-in my gaps. She's awesome in that her design eye is impeccable and her coordination skills are on point. She thought of things that I did not even consider. Basically, she was my secret weapon. Highly recommends.
