We hired Damara as a Day of Wedding Coordinator, however, she was much more than day of! Originally we had a full wedding planner and it wasn’t working out. We didn’t have the confidence they would make us feel at ease the week/day of. So we decided to go a different direction, and found ReInspired Bride, and since most of the wedding was planned, we only needed a day of coordinator, and someone to run rehearsals. We had a lot of moving parts on our wedding day, backyard setting, built a venue with multiple vendors, photography at a second location, entrance on a boat, Browns Mascot made an appearance, live painter, ice cream truck. To say Damara handled our many moving parts like a PRO is an understatement. She even told us the day of our wedding, of all weddings she has coordinated, we had by far the most moving parts. Damara did a site visit about 3 months before the wedding, 1 month before, and stopped by the week of as vendors were installing rentals/tent. We had record rainfall the week of, with it being an outdoor event the backyard flooded, we were at a loss of what to do. Damara remained very calm and positive, quickly thought of potential plan B options, and handled last minute phone calls to multiple vendors asking to alter installation dates/times. We had confidence to hand things off to her, knowing she would get it done - and she did!
As Damara and I did a walk through of all design set ups, there were a few areas I had not thought of, I told Damara I trusted her, and she can work with left over flowers, candles, picture frames, anything she can find to decorate. She blew me away!! I had my phone on me while I was getting ready for the day, she was sending me pictures of set up, and anytime I had a question she was quick to reply or answer her phone.
The wedding was on 1 acre of land, with 2 large/long stair cases. She joked she did 21K steps that day, but everywhere I looked I saw her working hard, running around. Anytime we needed her, or someone else had a question, she was available and prompt to get everyone what they needed. She brought an extra set of hands for the day, Staci. Staci was fabulous as well, and went above and beyond to help make our day go off without hitch.
We rented her Champagne Boxwood Wall, and a few mirrors – best decision, they were gorgeous! Our guests loved them all, and they added the perfect romantic touches we were looking for.
If I had a choice to do everything over again, I would have hired Damara for full planning services so that I could have spent more time with her, as she is so sweet, fun, bubbly, and overall amazing at what she does! But also, her eye for design/wedding details, attention to detail is impeccable and what every bride/groom needs!
We were in search of someone to make us feel at ease, that could handle a lot of moving parts, and she did just that, times 1,000.
We both adore you, Damara and were incredibly impressed with your professionalism and hard work, thank you for everything!
