The Day Of

Michelle knows what she is talking about and brings up things you would never think about. You meet with her twice in person to go over things as well as unlimited contact though calls, texts, emails. It is a little pricey (IMO) but if you want peace of mind, Michelle is worth it!

Michelle at The Day Of made our wedding day. From the start of our wedding planning, Michelle was a source of support, vendor recommendations and insight related to items that you need to consider when planning a wedding. Michelle helped my husband and I prioritize aspects of our day that were essential vs. negotiable, and had the ability to read between the lines to help us truly pull out our vision for the flow of our day. Michelle went above and beyond for us, and I truly trusted her with bringing all the details of our day together perfectly. I can honestly say, that as soon as our Rehearsal started on Friday night (which Michelle ran for us), I was a 100% relaxed bride. Because of this, I had the time to stop, be in the moment and look around and enjoy our day -- and no bride can do this unless you trust someone like Michelle with the most important day of your life! My husband and I feel that Michelle was an essential part of our amazing day and we truly feel eternally grateful for The Day Of!

A childhood friend recommended Michelle to me. I really did not think that we needed help, but my mother insisted and so I reached out to Michelle. It was the best decision I made in the planning of our wedding. Michelle is prompt, professional and so easy to work with. She works so hard to make every detail come together seamlessly. She is on top of every detail and thinks of the little things that brides forget. I cannot emphasize how much of a help she was to us. We could not have gotten everything done and organized without her. I miss talking with her regularly!

Michelle is a super hero! She joined my team of vendors last minute and saved the day. I was certainly a tough client to take on, I am a control freak, OCD and a project manager by profession, I know what I want, how I want them done, and prefer to do it myself as I can control the outcome. Typically, this is because my thought is "if it doesn't come out as I wanted, I have no one to blame but myself". Because of this, the idea of hiring an event coordinator was completely foreign and seemed like an unnecessary expense. I WAS WRONG! Michelle took the time to learn how I worked, she certainly proved I needed her, and I wouldn’t have had my dream wedding without her. Some stuff started to fall apart weeks before my wedding, and I started to feel out of control and like I needed to reach for help. I made the call to Michelle, based on a very trusted recommendation. She instantly put me at ease. She hopped on board, and started asking all the important questions, and I could tell she put as much heart into her work, as I was putting into my wedding. She was exactly what I needed. She handled the stuff I didn’t want to do, or control (confrontations, persistently following up with unresponsive vendors, timeline distribution, and vendor coordination). I love all the details that go into planning, but at the end, everyone warned me I would be overwhelmed, but I never imagined my brain would be completely wiped blank. When many hands started "helping" me last minute, I didn’t know where anything was and I went completely brain-dead. (Seriously, I went to my hair appt without my photos, veil or tiara, then Michelle called me and I had completely forgot I even had her! My brain was COMPLETELY blank.) So needless to day, I forgot many important things that day, but Michelle didn’t! She had everything covered, from the church, to the limo, photographers, videographer, caterer and reception. She knew where everything was supposed to be, and checked twice to make sure it was perfect. I couldn’t more highly recommend her. She is amazing, incredibly easy to get along with, and on top of her game. You can tell she loves what she does, and she does it with all of her heart, as if it were her own event that needed to be pulled off flawlessly. I will be forever grateful to Michelle for helping provide my dream day, and telling all my friends they MUST use her.

We recently got married in Weston, MA on 9/10/11 in the garden at my wife's mother's home. It was a wedding ceremony of about 100-110 people. We knew we were going to need some assistance with the planning/coordinating up in MA because we currently live down in Alexandria, VA. We got Michelle Schaufeld's name referred on to us by my mother-in-law's friend who lives up in Wellesley. We had several phone meetings with Michelle from Virginia, and then at least two in-person meetings about a month before the wedding and then one more the week before. She is a consummate professional and is very good at being creative but also obliging a particularly picky bride's and mother-in-law's tastes. She did a great job of balancing the budget constraints and the bride and mother-in-law's vision of the wedding ceremony and reception, and keeping everything on schedule. She interfaced smoothly with the wedding coordinator at the country club in Wellesley, MA where the reception was held, and just did an overall outstanding job. She also did a great job of project managing the contracts and logistics of the various vendors (flowers, transportation, musical artists, etc. etc.) My wife and I would recommend Michelle and The Day Of without reservation. She was well worth the money. Sincerely, David Augenblick

As our wedding day got closer, my husband and I realized we may need someone there on the day of the wedding so that we would not have to worry about all the little things or handle any issues should they arise. A co-worker referred me to Michelle at The Day Of and while we initally were going to have to pass on her day of coordination services due to budget constraints, Michelle worked with us to come up with a plan that would work within our budget. This proved to us that she would be flexible to work with which was very important to us. During the planning process, Michelle eased my concerns, provided her expert input and provided very timely responses to all my emails. On the day of, Michelle was professional and pleasant to us (bride and groom), our families, our wedding party and all of our vendors. She helped to pull together everything and create our vision and dream wedding. I would highly recommend Michelle for assistance with wedding planning and day of services!

I hired Michelle Schaufeld to help with the planning of my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Not only did she coordinate my wedding day to perfection but she also helped me prepare for the big day! Michelle made the upcoming months and the day of my wedding as stress free as possible! I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone planning a wedding!

When planning our wedding, we were a bit lost as to what the right balance of wedding event coordination/independence would suit us. With an invite list of 300, a large wedding party, and a full weekend of events, we knew we couldn't go it alone. Since our vendors and The Boston Harbor Hotel (our venue) are reputable and well managed, we didn't feel a start-to-finish planner would be a good fit. Thedayof was our solution. We worked with Michelle Schaufeld/ thedayof throughout our wedding weekend and are so thankful that we chose to have Michelle as part of our wedding team. After our initial meeting, we liked and trusted her so much that we increased our contract with her to include a bit of more intense guidance before the wedding weekend, to give us a hand with some unexpected challenges. We can attest that she is detail-oriented, supportive, organized, and full of great tips and tricks that reduced our stress and made our day beautiful. Michelle has a wonderful combination of class, sophistication, and kindness- it was easy to trust her with our milestone.
