Abby is the best! She was recommended to us by a colleague who had her as their day-of coordinator a few years ago. We met in early 2020 and instantly knew we connected and wanted ...
to work with her. She stuck with us through a long engagement and postponement due to COVID. Abby checked in with us regularly over the 2 years and quickly responded to any questions we had. But it was that last month or two leading up to the wedding (and the day of, of course!) that she was really invaluable. I cannot imagine doing it without her. She created a thorough timeline for the day, checked in with all vendors that week, kept us on schedule, was a friendly and calming resource for the whole wedding party, and even figured out how to bustle my dress when my sister panicked and couldn't remember that day! We loved working with Abby and cannot recommend her enough.
Abby was our "day-of" coordinator for our recent wedding at the Garfield Park Conservatory. Hiring Abby was without a doubt the best decision we made - she is worth her weight in ...
gold! I'm a Type-A planner, and wasn't sure that I needed the help of a coordinator, but looking back our wedding would have been a mess without Abby!
We met with Abby about a year before our wedding, at which point she gave us an incredibly helpful "checklist" and vendor recommendations, which really was our guiding light throughout the planning process. We met again a few months before the wedding to start fleshing out a detailed timeline for the day. We met a week before the wedding to hammer out the last minute details, at which point Abby picked up all of the DIYs for the wedding day (she delivered everything to the venue that day/brought everything back with her, which was a huge logistical relief). A week or so before the wedding Abby took over communication with the other vendors for us - instead of getting inundated with emails from vendors the week of our wedding, we were able to relax with family and friends from out of town!
Abby ran our rehearsal the day before the wedding. We developed a custom Mexican/Indian ceremony with many elements. We were especially nervous about the ceremony because of all the logistics involved, but because of Abby's leadership and professionalism the rehearsal went smoothly, and the ceremony the day of was beautiful and a highlight of the weekend.
The entire day of our wedding went beyond smoothly and without a hitch. We had so many customizations/DIYs that Abby executed flawlessly. Abby was attentive, anticipated every need, and overall was just an incredibly calming presence on a day where chaos could have easily ensued. Thank you SO much for all your help, Abby! Our wedding was the best day of our lives in large part because of you!
Our wedding was on July 25th, 2015. Ryan and I heard about Abby through our florist (Kloeckner Preferred Flowers) and decided to meet with her. She met with us and after our origin...
al meeting, we could not wait to work with her. She contacted us every month from about 5 months out, just to check in on how things were going. She answered any questions right away and was very easy to communicate with. About 4 weeks before the wedding, we met with Abby for about 2 hours to go over our day of schedule. She made a complete and thorough timeline for the day of which she took care of sending to all of our vendors. On the day of, Abby was there to not only attend to anything we needed, but also to be the go between person with all of the vendors. If there were any problems that arose on the day of, I am not aware of them because she took care of it all! She went as far to get cough drops for Ryan when he started losing his voice to getting our champagne glasses refilled all night. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Day Of person, she is amazing!!
