We absolutely LOVED working with the Day-Of. If we could give them 6 stars, we would. We had a wedding at a non-traditional camp, and Jessica and Courtney helped us create a vision for a beautiful ceremony and reception that exceeded all hopes and dreams. They gave us recommendations for excellent vendors that helped keep us on budget. On our wedding day, Jessica handled everything and made it such a wonderful, stress free day.
Truly, there are not enough good things to say about The Day-Of, and specifically Mike Ward, who was the planner for our 10/09/21 wedding in Denver.
I was not the traditional bride, and went into the planning process completely clueless. Mike held my hand every step of the way, and made sure that we had the wedding of our dreams that felt really "us."
On wedding day, Mike was TIRELESS, professional, and so enthusiastic. He is the reason that I had even one single bite to eat, or got photos in the photobooth before the end of the night. He even checked in periodically to see if I needed to go to the bathroom!
If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, this is your sign to do it, and to do it with The Day Of!
We had the best experience with The Day of!
My daughter was supposed to get married in October of 2020 . Due to the circumstances of a pandemic we had to change our plans twice and ultimately find a new location . Courtney and Mike were so understanding and helpful.
Mike was our planner for the weekend of the wedding. I cannot say enough about our experience. He was stellar! Thank you so much to the team at the Day -Of!!
We enjoyed working with Courtney in planning our big day, but then the pandemic threw a wrench in everything. That's when Mike took over, and he was just incredible. He went above and beyond in making our pandemic-friendly celebration still a joyous occasion (my wife says he made her wedding dreams come true), including figuring out how to broadcast the ceremony to our original guest list via Zoom. We couldn't be more pleased, and are excited to keep working with Mike and The Day-Of for our bigger reception to come!
We had signed on with The Day Of team ahead of the Global Pandemic. As we faced the difficult decision to completely change our plans from a large party @ a fancy venue to an intimate wedding in our backyard, the Day Of team was there to support us along the way. Mike was incredibly knowledgeable about the business and way more organized then the bride herself (that's me!). Knowing that we were in the hands of true professionals helped ease the stress of the day. He thought of *everything* and became a friend of ours in the process. We highly recommend The Day Of!
My husband and I needed help putting together our challenging wedding idea. We had 150 out of town guests, with a shuttle service for a mountain ceremony, followed by a city brewery reception, with a pizza & bbq food trucks, plus a bags aka cornhole tournament etc etc etc. We had a couple of other Coordinators turn us down because it was too much, BUT NOT THE DAY OF! They took on this challenge with us and made it look easy! Thank you so much The Day-Of (Jessie & Mike)!! To this day, we still get compliments on our 10/19/19 wedding adventure.
Courtney and the Jessies were everything I could've hoped for in a planning crew, plus a bunch of things I didn't even know to hope for. They met me exactly where I was at: uncertain how to pull together an event that felt true to me and my husband. Courtney made my family feel comfortable enough to express their desires and anxieties and somehow coaxed out of us an absolutely killer night. Attending my wedding felt like showing up to a party someone else was throwing for me, but that I had designed.
Leading up to my wedding, people kept asking me if I was stressed. Honest answer: not at all. Thanks Courtney and crew, for giving me the best night of my life.
Courtney and Lizzie made our day so freaking easy. I had the month of package and once she took over it all happened so easily and quickly. I would absolutely recommend her for anything! Their attention to detail is perfect. She was personable. Learned our families names. She was everywhere and no where at the same time and so incredibly helpful. We could NOT have done it without them both.
When we first started hunting for a wedding venue and setting a date, we quickly realized that this was going to be a pretty daunting task (planning a wedding!). We both work full-time, and I was in school full-time as well, which makes it pretty difficult to call vendors, interview them, and get quotes, etc. I had a friend recommend getting a wedding planner, and I started my research. Courtney and her team had high reviews, and after chatting with her on the phone, I knew she'd be perfect for us.
She was on top of everything! She would fire off emails to different vendors to get us quotes. She made recommendations and suggestions on vendors she's worked with, came up with ideas on how to fully execute our comic book themed wedding, and made sure we were calm and relaxed, knowing that she and her team could handle anything that would come up. Our wedding went so smoothly, and there wasn't a single disruption. I was never bothered with any issues on the day of, it was so amazing to see everything come together, and just enjoy our day.
I loved the fact that she was our advocate! She made sure that in all the craziness of the big day and the planning, that we had time to ourselves and enjoy the event. She was so full of energy, which is definitely something you need when feeling overwhelmed.
The team was quick, responsive, made our epic planning sessions fun and exciting, and everyone was an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm so glad we found her, and had her on our team. We couldn't have done it without her, and her team at The Day-Of. Jessica and Meagan were so helpful and amazing, as well! Thank you, Day-Of Tribe! :D
Courtney and her crew were very accommodating and kind! They touched all of the bases thoroughly at our first meeting and then helped with getting in touch with other vendors from there on out. She was very easy to get along with and definitely knew all the little things that I didn't to help our day go smoothly!
Courtney, John and the entire crew at The Day Of made our wedding an absolute dream and FUN event! The vision we had for our big day was not traditional but instead a strolling cocktail event with delicious and healthy foods, great music, incredible cocktails (we are an Irish and Polish crew), and surrounded by Colorado nature. We had the most amazing time at our wedding and we got to enjoy the cocktails, food, and our guests with NOTHING to worry about. Yes, the Bride and Groom actually got to enjoy the event too!
The common theme for guest feedback was "This was the best wedding ceremony I ever attended!"
We had a wonderful experience working with Courtney and John. Incredible!!!
Courtney and Kristin were fantastic! They took charge of coordination and communication among all of our wedding vendors during the last month of our engagement, taking a huge task off of our plates. They both have an eye for those tiny but important details that we overlooked, like where our cake cutting and serving utensils would come from. They communicated with us frequently and thoroughly, and made sure my now-husband and I were part of every decision. They asked clear questions and acknowledged and incorporated every request we sent in, and they expertly handled the inevitable wedding bloopers and kept things running smoothly on our big day! If you’re in search of a wedding planning service, I can’t recommend The Day-Of more highly!
Courtney really was an absolute life saver and hands down the best decision we made in putting together our wedding! She and her team helped us organize an out-of-state wedding at a venue we'd couldn't see in person, and it turned out beautifully. She helped arrange vendors, made detailed timelines, and thought of things that never even occurred to us. All the vendors she referred we're phenomenal and her positive energy is infectious. If you want your wedding to be fun, memorable, and run smoothly don't think twice about hiring her!
Our wedding was very custom… The father of the groom painted a picture of us. Father of the bride created a wedding song. All the decorations - starting with centerpieces and ending with tablecloths and napkins - were created by the mother of the bride. For some reason we thought that having 2 hours for setting everything up at our venue and getting ready would be enough. How wrong we were…
If it would not be for Courtney and her wonderful team - we would not even remember to get ready for the ceremony. Courtney made sure that the set up process was initiated and all the vendors and wedding party members that were assisting with it were on board with what goes where. After the most decorations were placed and guests started showing up, Courtney sent us all to start getting ready and helped to finish decorating the venue, dessert table and making sure that our guests were comfortable before the ceremony began.
Our venue had 3 levels, and it felt like Courtney was on all of them at once. Throughout the whole event Courtney knew when she was needed. Before the ceremony, she was magically showing up at the bridal suite when I needed water, band-aid, or just a hug. At the same time she was helping the groom and his friends with finding their boutonnieres. During all the time, her assistants were making sure that all the vendors are following their timeline and the guests are finding their seats for the ceremony. After the ceremony, she helped me with the dress on the stairs and then let my new husband and I enjoy a few minutes alone while she got downstairs and was helping guests to get ready for a petals toss.
The timeline that Courtney created for us really helped us to have a wedding of our dream! She knew about all of our expectations and concerns, and she made sure that everything goes the way we planned. Don’t know how - but Courtney was staying calm and cheerful throughout the whole evening. She made sure that the bride and the groom were staying hydrated and worry free while she and her team were doing their magic.
Since our wedding involved so much setting up, Courtney invited one of her interns to help us even though the contract stated that Courtney would have only one assistant. The wedding went even better than we planned, and everyone who had been celebrating with us had an amazing time. We are so happy that we found Courtney, and would we recommend her? Oh yes!!! Beginning with meeting and picking the vendors and finishing with helping us with cleaning up after the wedding - Courtney and her team were extremely helpful, professional, kind, easy to work with, and so passionate about what they are doing. The wedding went even better than we planned, and everyone who had been celebrating with us had an amazing time. We are so happy that we found Courtney, and would we recommend her? Absolutely!!!
Courtney was amazing from start to finish. I was recently married and she was our month-of coordinator. Her warm personality and close attention to detail was apparent right off the bat. Once I "handed things off" to her a month prior to the big day, it was like a huge weight has been lifted and I knew I was in good hands. The day of Courtney and her assistants killed it. She made sure that my husband and I had a great time and we didn't feel pulled all over the place or bothered with the details of potential kinks in the plan. We highly recommend using her...you will NOT regret it.
Courtney is an angel from wedding heaven! I was looking for a planner who could help me keep the budget down, could take charge when needed, and help this inexperienced-with-weddings bride plan the perfect day! She helped me find vendors who were trusted and affordable. She provided an extremely detailed timeline and kept in touch with all my vendors. My husband and I were so impressed! The entire event was flawless, and I felt like I was a guest at my own wedding. Thank you The Day Of!!!
I can not more highly recommend The Day Of wedding planners. Although I entered into all of my vendor contracts and planned the wedding months before I hired Courtney and her team with The Day Of, I could not have possibly pulled them all together immediately prior to the wedding when things become overwhelming. The Day of entered the planning about 6 weeks prior to the wedding and handled everything from that point forward. They are absolutely exceptional at perfecting every detail so that the family can relax and enjoy the celebration. Most important to me was the ease with which the entire team worked with everyone involved. Never did they act like “it’s not my job” but rather worked like everything and every task was their responsibility. The sister of the bride is also engaged and she said she is not sure of anything she wants for her special day EXCEPT she wants Courtney and The Day Of even though she is not getting married in Colorado. They are that great!
Courtney was the bomb, so warm and professional and engaging, from start to finish. She offered us ideas based on her experience, but truly let our own vision shine through. Our wedding itself turned out great with no mishaps. Just fun, fun, fun!
Courtney was the best! She is very personable, flexible, efficient, comprehensive, attentive, responsive and affordable. She listens closely to her clients, gets to know them and creatively inserts their personalities into their events. Being the mother of the groom, I had less input on some of the wedding details, but she made sure that I felt included and updated on all the specifics. She has great, fresh ideas and is also very fun to party with! I recommend her highly!
I spoke with Courtney over the phone and immediately liked her! She is bubbly, organized and so much fun! She was without a doubt the BEST decision I made for my wedding day. She had my back the entire day and I didn't have to worry about any stressful details. I can't say enough good things about her. I could not have done my wedding without her. HIRE HER! I promise you will not regret it.
Thanks again C!
XOXO
Rachael & Bob
The big day could not have been better organized!
Courtney thought of everything and made it all look easy at the same time. I highly recommend her for her wedding planning and execution services!
Courtney made our entire wedding journey a seamless and stress free process. From the moment we hired her to help out with planning and prep, we immediately knew we made the right decision. She had creative and fun ways to make our special day unique and memorable all within our budget. She had a deep bench of vendors and assistants to help us out in a pinch and even planned our special day down to the minute. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly unique and awesome wedding experience!
I love Courtney! She's enthusiastic, professional, knowledgeable, and really got it done for us. We had no clue what we were doing but from the moment we decided to hire Courtney, we could tell progress was being made. She does a great job of listening to what you want out of your weekend/day and does a great job of making sure that everyone's expectations are managed. Courtney has amazing vendors that she works with on a regular basis so that was a breeze.
Working with Courtney truly made the whole process easier and even enjoyable. She's really great at taking the load off and her timelines are a thing of beauty. It was so nice to show up to our wedding weekend knowing that she had everything under control. We didn't have to worry about a thing!
I highly recommend Courtney. You'll have a great time planning your wedding if you do so and you'll look back on the entire process and remember nothing but joy! I'd hire her again but alas, I will not be getting married again! I miss her already!
The Day Of (Courtney) was the best vendor we hired for our wedding. She made the whole process go smoothly by creating a timeline, contacting and coordinating vendors and being a great advocate for us. This was money well spent and I would highly recommend couples to not only hire a day of coordinator, but do yourselves a favor and hire Courtney. She's warm, fun, kind, incredibly knowledgable and totally knows her stuff.
Courtney did a great job of helping my (now) husband and I plan our destination wedding in the mountains! We chose the "day of" package along with the "partial planning" hours to help us with any extra things that might arise. Planning a wedding is very tedious and for me, a tad stressful. Courtney was incredibly helpful with any questions I had leading up to our big day. Honestly, I was still stressed during the majority of the planning...until our big call with Courtney. All the stress melted away once we went through all the details and I saw how much time and thought she'd put behind every part of the day. The day of our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect. Whether there were issues or not, my husband and I never knew about them. All we know is we had the best time with our closest family and friends. Courtney and her assistant, Rachel, even decorated our hotel room before we got there with all of our flowers and decorations. Courtney is the bubbliest person you'll ever meet and you can just feel the energy and excitement she has for her business. My husband and I very much enjoyed our experience with Courtney and highly recommend her and the Day-Of crew!
Courtney at The Day-Of was absolutely fantastic to work with—it was one of the best decisions we made when starting our wedding journey (aside from saying Yes! to my now husband). She helped guide us and keep us on track for all the big and small details; her relationships with solid, trustworthy, quality vendors made picking our band, DJ, florist, officiant and photographers super easy and anxiety-free (does looking through an endless list of potential vendors keep you up at night? Look no further, Courtney has done the hardest part for you and can provide you with the best options to choose from to fit yours needs, personality and goal/feel for your special event!). Aside from the support and great brainstorming-capacity of an awesome wedding planning team, Courtney is a genuine, kind person who cares about how your event goes—that you and your future spouse get to enjoy your own special day and that your guests have a wonderful time without realizing the work you’ve all put in for months leading up to the day (read: you’ll have so much fun you’ll want to turn back time and relive it again). Having Courtney help us leading up to our wedding and the day-of was like having your best friend by your side without actually giving your best friend the job of coordinating your wedding (which they thank you...). If you want to enjoy the process and have fun with planning one of the best days of your life—then Courtney and the team at The Day-Of will be your best first wedding decision!
Hands down amazing!! Courtney was so terrific in handling everything up until the moment I walked down the aisle. She’s exceptionally responsive and gives such great spunky energy! I felt like I knew her for years. Coupled with her husband who was our wedding officiant- they’re a dynamic duo!! He wrote the most beautiful script and tailored it to fit my husband and I perfectly. Courtney is fair and is eager to help in any capacity she can to make sure your day goes smoothly!! I would only recommend the Day-of! She did an amazing job! We’re so grateful for her.
Courtney is absolutely fabulous!! From the moment my fiancé and I met her, we knew we needed to hire her!! She has an infectious smile, full of energy and truly passionate about what she does. We hired her for day of coordination, but I felt like she was a huge light in the process every step of the way. She put me on a timeline of when I should meet/hire vendors, let me email her endlessly, a couple of one on one planning sessions and all of her attention with the day of timeline, rehearsal, and day of! I told her that all I want from this day is for it to be calm. I don't want to wake up and have to run errands, make decisions or do anything other than drink champagne and get ready with my girls. She helped me achieve that goal and more!! It was such a relaxing day all because of her. Courtney is the best in the business because she is passionate and works hard to make your day absolutely perfect!!
Courtney and her team are great! We needed some support for our mountain wedding, and are so glad we hired them. She was the best point of contact from the get-go, doing all the wrangling, making sure things were organized and in-line...going way above and beyond. Her communication was great, and every time we had a planning session or a call I felt relieved. On the day-of itself, she kept things moving smoothly, and while nothing went to our original plan (freak early snow storm, mariachi band late, husband's cell went off during the ceremony), she kept it all calm, moving, and easy. So thankful for their team!
Everything was beautiful, and I highly recommend them. I even got calls from both my dad and my sister post-wedding saying how great they were! Thanks, ladies!
From the first phone call to when we had to say our goodbyes, Courtney and her crew at Day-of had my back during the whole wedding planning and coordinating process! My main goal was to be a guest at my wedding and that is exactly how I felt! You know how people warn brides that something will go wrong on your wedding day? Well, because of Courtney and her crew, nothing went wrong! Everything was flawless and there was a perfect flow of the day and night. My elegant rustic mountain wedding in Durango, Colorado was everything I dreamed about. I couldn't have had my wedding dreams come true with out Courtney and her crew!!
"From the moment I first talked to Courtney on the phone I knew that she was the best decision I was making in all of my wedding planning. She was so enthusiastic and ready to start planning. Not only did she listen to my ideas but she had great ways to improve them as well as amazing ideas of her own. It's so hard to know what you need and want when you have never planned a wedding before. She had suggestions from where to get my flowers to how to call our tables up to the buffet. Courtney took our ideas and wants and put it all together which really helped us picture how it would flow. I just really wanted show up to my wedding and have fun. Setting up your own decorations and getting everything in order is not what you should be worrying about on you Wedding Day. Courtney was able to take my vision and make it happen. Everything was perfect. When my bustle was too long and was in my way of dancing, Courtney took care of it! In summary, there is a lot of planning that goes into your wedding day. So much that if you try and take it all on yourself you will never fully enjoy your day. Courtney was amazing every step of the way and my Wedding and the day was better because of her! I can't recommend her enough. "
