My husband is from Ireland, I'm from California--and we planned a destination wedding to New York City. We needed help! From the very first minute of the very first phone consultat...ion, I knew Claire was the person we needed, and hired WedWell as our Day-Of Coordinator (who was really a Month-of Coordinator!)
TL/DR Version:
WedWell is money well spent on the most important vendor you'll need aside from food, drinks, and music. Every detail you think you'll worry about and even the ones you never would've thought to worry about, WedWell will take care of. Honestly, we cannot recommend WedWell and Claire enough.
The Essay Version:
BUDGET
During the consultation, you'll get a feel for the cost of WedWell's services--you will find Claire to be very flexible and able to work with your budget.
RESOURCES
Right off the bat, she offered so many useful resources (e.g. , budget, guest list, vendor folders) in Google Docs which was amazingly helpful. She had great recommendations for where our guests could go between the ceremony and reception, the best places for photographs, etc.
IN-PERSON MEETINGS
In the month leading up to the wedding, Claire met with us in person once in SF (graciously on her vacation), once virtually, once the week of the wedding, and once at rehearsal. She also helped us get in touch with our church (who was extremely difficult to get ahold of--especially from afar).
ON THE DAY OF
On the day of, I did not have to worry about a single thing--she was so thorough in understanding our needs, what was important to us, and what needed to get done, my husband and I got the pleasure of focusing on our day together. She set up the musicians (who weren't at rehearsal, and whom we'd never met), helped with organizing the people for our family photo shotlist, organized the ceremony and reception details (e.g. , setting out the flowers, escort cards, guest book, etc. ), and helped the reception timeline move smoothly. I was particularly thankful of her work around directing people who were seated in another room when to stay, when to go, when to come back, etc. I think at one point our DJ played songs on our "No" list and I saw her discreetly head over and get him back on course! I could literally go on and on about more specifics, but you're probably busy planning a wedding.
