Keisha and her team were exemplary. I hired Keisha a few weeks before my wedding as a 'Day of Coordinator' for the wedding reception. I had a Do-It-Yourself party following our formal ceremony for more than 350 guests at my home. As you can imagine - things were crazy. We were having a tent the size of Texas filled with a dance floor and seating for 400. A full food buffet, and yard games spread across several acres of land: volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, ladder ball, and a large 12 ft swimming pool and 12 person hot tub. We wanted everyone to have fun - but still be at the dance floor for the key reception events (first dances, toasts, etc)
I felt like I was going to lose my mind a few weeks before the wedding. I just knew I had forgotten some key detail. Keisha came in and put my mind at ease immediately. She went through the day with me ahead of time and called out any points that may have been lacking in planning. She took all of my scattered information and fed it back to me in an organized timeline. She created lists of my vendors, emergency contact sheets, and a minute-by-minute schedule of how the events should unfold. She was available for consultation and her advice was priceless. She truly put my mind at ease.
Knowing she was at the house getting things together for the reception while I was at the church getting married allowed me to truly be in the moment for the entire ceremony. I could never thank Keisha enough for the peace of mind she afforded me. I will always have those memories and am so glad we made the decision to hire her.
Once we got to the reception Keisha's face was the first one I saw as we exited the car. She kept me hidden from the guests, made the DJ aware of our arrival and lined the wedding party up for our announcements. In our absence she had coordinated all the vendors, handled every detail and dealt with quite a few 'on site' crisis' (my fault, not hers I assure you) with elegance and poise. No one knew things were anything but perfect. Not even me. :) Keisha absorbed all the stress from the entire day. The receptions events just unfolded in front of me - just as we had discussed. Everyone had a great time at the various activity centers, but they were at the dance floor for the key events. I have no idea how she did it - but she did. She even made sure I ate and stayed well hydrated throughout the evening (it was an outdoor reception... in June!). And her team took such great care of our guests and vendors. Our wedding 'supplies' just magically appeared - our cake cutting utensils, our champagne flutes for toasts... it was as if magical fairy's followed us and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Keisha made it seem effortless - but I KNOW for certain it wasn't. My family is not easy, by any means, and she handled them with finesse.
Keisha and team helped make my wedding day the absolute best day of my life. I highly highly highly recommend them. If I were to do it again I would make one change, however. I would have brought Keisha on board earlier in the planning process. I now realize that having Keisha there from the start would have actually saved me money in the long run and it would have made everything so much more fun! Keisha was a blast to work with. Believe me - it's worth it. Keisha's the best.
