5 stars are not enough to give McKenzie! We cannot begin to thank her enough for all the hard work she put into ensuring our day was all we had dreamed of and more.
We hired McKenzie for her day-of coordination services, but what we got was t...hat and SO much more. From phone meetings / touch bases, to in-person meetings, rehearsal day, and wedding day, she brought her A+ game. There was not anything she said she WOULDN'T do - which we very much appreciated. We had a unique circumstance where we had to move our wedding up a few months sooner than originally planned, and McKenzie jumped right in. I'm probably forgetting a TON of things she helped do (because she did just that much), but here's a sample:
- The week-of, she took a major stressor off my plate and followed up with vendors on arrival times and other important details. And if you have an unresponsive vendor, don't worry. She's not afraid to call and call until she gets an answer.
- She crafted a heavily detailed schedule for rehearsal day and wedding day - it helped keep everyone in line and see all the plans laid out, altogether.
- She stayed at the venue while the wedding party left for rehearsal dinner to prep the space, finalize DIY materials, etc. so we could enjoy our time with family and friends.
- On wedding day, she arrived at 10:30 a.m. and brought over food for the bridal party to enjoy (not to mention a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which was absolutely, wonderfully unexpected!), handled last-minute requests, set table linens and decor pieces, and kept us on schedule throughout the day's festivities of getting ready and vendors arriving.
- Kept a check on the weather as it was scheduled to rain after the ceremony, so she moved up the timeline to help us squeeze in major events (first dance, etc.) before the rain arrived.
- Stayed at the venue until 11 p.m. and moved gifts, cards, other rentals/decor pieces inside as we had to return some rentals the next day. She even removed all of the accessories from those rentals (flowers, candles) so we didn't have to stress about it that night / the next morning.
All in all, she (and her staff member Donna) really just made our wedding day a breeze! Some of the other vendors had mentioned to me that day that I seemed like one of the most "calm" brides they'd ever worked with, and for that, I have McKenzie to thank. If you're looking for wedding planning services, whether day-of or the total package, look to McKenzie! She's hard-working, EXTREMELY organized, determined, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I will forever be thankful for her and consider her not just a wedding vendor, but a friend!
