nue 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.

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!

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.

My husband and I were married on September 27, 2020. I researched coordinators who provided day of service. I came across Just Drena byway of The Knot and I'm glad I did. I can't say enough about Drena. I planned my wedding, but Drena made it m...
ake 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 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 :)
Drena was a great coordinator! She was very organized and insightful when it came to making decisions. I definitely could not handled everything without her!
Where do I begin to explain how amazing Drena was? I know if it wasn’t for Drena my wedding would have been an unorganized mess! My now husband and I had our initial consultation with Drena last year in September. Within about a week we inked o...
ur 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.
Drena is absolutely AMAZING!! She is such a delight to work with. Timely, professional, extremely organized and personable. She thought about every single detail and made sure my groom and I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the we...
dding. 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.
I liked that our wedding started on time, everything was punctual and professionally handled, resulting in a perfect day, from start to end. I most definitely would recommend Drena as an event coordinator to anyone.
Had a chance to work with Drena, as I served as an officiant for some friends this last summer. As we prepared for the big day, I quickly learned that Drena does everything in excellence and with thoughtfulness. She just seemed to be prepared f...

hly 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!

m 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!
Drena is the best coordinator a Bride could have. She is trustworthy, dependable, professional, communicative and extremely organized. I live in Houston, TX and my husband and I decided 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!
Drena needs 100 stars!!! She went above and beyond for our wedding! Great Job Drena!!!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Drena and her team. They were all very friendly and extremely organized. They really played huge part in making our wedding day stress free.
Drena was amazing! When my wife and I first reached out to her, we had already planned a great deal of our wedding, but we knew we needed a 3rd party to help us bring all of these 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!
Where do I start? Drena is amazing!!! Very professional and organized. I had no cares or worries as I prepared for my big day! She definitely went above and beyond in making sure my wedding and reception was well planned and executed. She liter...
