Tonya and her team were fantastic! We used them for catering and were blown away by the quality of the food and how smoothly everything went! We were repeatedly told the food was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Great quality and pricing!
We hired Your Day Your Way to cater our wedding. The owners are great to work with. I really appreciated that they let us use their table numbers, votives, table décor, etc. at no additional cost besides the cost to replace the batteries in the electric candles. The staff was so friendly and attentive, we got many compliments from our guests on the service. We also got many compliments on the food which was wonderful!
My daughter’s wedding was yesterday and I wanted to write the review before my memory fades. Tonya and I clicked immediately on the phone. She is warm and immediately I felt as if I were talking to a long time friend. When we sat down in person, she gave us great suggestions on how we could save money and still have an amazing experience. Our venue was some distance from her home base and she sent a team the day before to get a head start. Seriously, who does that? Tonya does! Did she sometimes take a little longer to answer an email, yes. Did she take a little longer to send an invoice, yes. Okay….patience. The food was amazing and everyone raved about it. The staff was great and so very courteous. David, her husband, was with the crew and he was super. If you want amazing food with great service, these are your people. The pricing was also very reasonable. Thank you so very much Tonya, David, and crew!
My Fiancé and I worked with Your Day Your Way Weddings and Events on our Wedding. Our day turned out perfect thanks to her and her team. Tonya puts her whole heart and soul into planning an event. She made suggestions and tips for us that saved us so much money. She set everything up for us and even allowed us to use her Centerpieces at no charge saving us so much money. The food was so delicious, guests are still telling us this is not typical Wedding Food. The staff was so attentive and welcoming to our family and friends. Not only was it the day we had dreamed about but she made it even more magical than we could of ever imagined. I would recommend Tonya McNees and her team 100% over and over again. You will never find another planner who cares as much about your special day as she does-Top Notch, Genuine, Quality, Organized and Perfection are all words to describe her, her service, her team and her business!
If I could provide a company with negative stars, I 100% would. One star does not do this company justice.
The service provided by Your Day Your Way Weddings, and specifically Tonya McNeese, was subpar, disappointing, and not as promised. When I attempted to address this with the company, I was nearly physically assaulted, I was told I was going to have the cops called on me, I was told by Tonya that she would be getting an attorney to contact me, and I was cursed out on my wedding day.
Tonya's antics and unwillingness to be cooperative, cordial, polite, or professional resulted in my bride leaving her wedding day in tears.
To give a few specific examples, Tonya missed multiple deadlines, specifically those involving sending us assets and invoices. Tonya also used a singular piece of paper to take all of her notes, resulting in her being consistently disorganized. Tonya disregarded instructions that she requested we provide to her, acting as if it was an inconvenience to have things done our way rather than hers.
Tonya's invoice and pricing reflected one thing, and the service that was delivered was inconsistent with what was provided. When I questioned this, she told me that we shouldn't be provided a high quality service because she didn't charge us enough, and that she normally charges significantly more than she charged us.
The food we were provided was cold, and served at the incorrect times. We were provided with a salad instead of proteins at our pasta station, and we were provided with nearly 50% of what was promised for our dessert table.
I can not describe the amount of stress this woman, and her disorganized business, put myself, my wife, and our families through before and during what is supposed to be the best day of our lives.
And the inevitable response we receive from Tonya on this post where she gaslights us and tells us that all of these things were either our fault, or did not happen, is 100% representative of how shittily her business is run.
Our experience with Tonya was absolutely outstanding, and we are incredibly grateful for the seamless and stress-free wedding day she helped create. From the early planning stages to the final moments of our celebration, Tonya exhibited an unmatched level of professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. On the day of the wedding, the coordination was flawless, ensuring that every element fell seamlessly into place.
The menu was not only diverse and creative but also showcased a commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure that our guests' dietary preferences and restrictions were accommodated. The seamless service and delicious food contributed significantly to the overall success of our wedding.
Tonya truly went above and beyond, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to couples seeking a reliable and dedicated wedding team for their special day.
Tonya was great to work with and had great advice on vendors to use, sequencing and timing of events for the day of, and had delicious food! My only complaint would be that some things I were told were being communicated to the venue staff, were not. So as a bride, just make sure to go straight to the venue to discuss certain aspects of the day (rentals of backdrops and rooms for getting ready in). Also I had many emails unanswered. As a bride it was extremely stressful. I get that she is super busy, but I think she needs an assistant! It all worked out in the end and the day of my wedding was beautiful! All the linens were as discussed, and I love that she has so many table centerpieces that I could just borrow. This saved me so much time and money not having to buy all these things myself. Thanks for helping make my day special, Tonya!
Tonya was extremely helpful she helped us from the very beginning of our planning to the day of the ceremony. She helped me find my dress, the DJ, and our florist. She made sure that the day of ran super smoothly by orchestrating where people would go and when. She also provided us with great food, and ensured that it was hot. Overall, she went above and beyond to make our ceremony go well. Even going to the extent to get my dad Orajel when he had a toothache on the day of the wedding. We would highly recommend Tonya and her services.
Tonya and her team were fabulous in every aspect! She knows what she's doing, is reasonably priced, and truly wants you to have the best wedding possible. They had the room totally set up, exactly how I wanted it, with all our decorations. She even helped do my vases because my florist just delivered everything without setting up. There were so many appetizers served at cocktail hour - I got so many compliments from the guests about how much food was offered and how delicious they all were. My husband and I didn't get to eat any appetizers at cocktail hour since we were running around and she specifically made a plate of apps just for us and put it at the head table. Dinner was served immediately after speeches, in large quantities (we did family style), and everyone raved about the food. The chicken limone was definitely the favorite! Tonya and her staff were so attentive all night - making sure we had water and enough food. They even packed up any extras for us to take home! At the end of the night we went to start cleaning up and her staff had already cleaned up EVERYTHING!! They were ready to take our boxes downstairs to pack up our car so we could carry on and not worry about any clean up. She honestly took care of every detail the entire day and we did not have to worry about ANYTHING! And she doesn't charge an extra fee for her service! I would recommend her and her team to any bride.
Tonya was awesome. Everyone loved the food, the staff was super attentive, and they are SO reasonably price. We are so happy with went with Tonya and her team!
I wanted to take a quick second to recommend this vendor. I usually never write reviews; however I had the opportunity to work with Tonya from Your Day Your Way and was so impressed with the level of service I received, I wanted to let others know. From the beginning I was unsure if I even needed a Wedding Planner and upon feeling overwhelmed and just exhausted reached out to Your Day Your Way. I was so glad I did. Tonya helped me and guided me the entire time-even when I didn't know what I wanted for my vision. She was personable, professional and patient and I mean patient during the entire process. Do yourself a favor and call her, it will be the best decision you will make when planning your wedding!
