Leah and her assistant Pam were incredible. We found them, after much searching, just mere weeks (like 2. really.) before our wedding ceremony, and they were responsive, asked good questions, made the traffic-crawling trek to the East Bay to meet in-person and walk the site, and were just generally good-natured, helpful, and thoughtful. Their ability to tackle and troubleshoot everything made them the perfect day-of coordinators, and without them, I honestly don't know how we would've pulled everything off.
Our wedding ceremony site was a bit remote and not at all a traditional venue for weddings. We also planned the whole wedding ourselves, which is 1) a recipe for utter insanity and 2) probably not what day-of wedding coordinators love, so lots was also still-in-progress and to-be-determined. Nonetheless, they went with the flow, tracked the roads and paths clearly, figured out all the nuances, and stayed calm as we navigated the final bits of wedding planning. We corresponded over email a handful of times; I handed over immense spreadsheets and details; Leah kept tabs on the vendors and coordinated with them to confirm arrivals and details; and they were flexible and generous.
Day-of, they arrived early, loaded up a crap-ton of stuff for setting up and decorating, and took off amidst Cal game traffic. They navigated our vendors (shuttle company and drivers, photographer, a delivery company, the park rangers) incredibly well, as they all had slightly different personalities and ways of working, and despite a packed day of setting up, it was beautiful. Leah was calm and composed when I made my way up the hill, and everything was gorgeous.
Everything was a little bit of a blur, but my guests marveled at their graciousness and generous champagne-pouring abilities (which they just tackled!), and every single time I thought of something, Leah was already working on it and/or approached me with a plan. If that's not trustworthy wedding coordination, I don't know what is.
Post-ceremony and breakdown, Leah and Pam also delivered all the stuff back to our house, neatly, carefully, and cleanly. Seriously awesome. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
