I wholeheartedly recommend Carla Friday and Details Made Simple! 

I had spoken to a few day of coordinators to find the right one – and right away when I spoke with Carla I felt like she just got me. She was so real from the beginning – and I felt like I could really connect with her on the realities/challenges of planning your own wedding. In the lead up to the wedding, she went out of her way to be helpful in whatever I needed. One of the great things about DMS is that because they only offer day-of services, she was willing to share with me other advice, guidance, tips, recommendations that a company who offered full wedding planner services would maybe be hesitant to (because they’d want you to invest in their other services). On the day of, she went above and beyond – it made for such a smooth and seamless experience for us, but particularly our families who didn’t have to worry about any of the finer details and were able to just take in and enjoy the day (especially with having a parent who doesn’t get around easily). She is the best!

Angelica was simply the BEST partner for my wedding day!

Not only was she so on top of things – vendors, timelines. etc. – in the months leading up to the day, she was critical day of – she made sure everything ran smoothly, and I never had to worry about a thing! Her monthly check-ins really made sure I never felt alone. Thank you for making my day so special!

Okay, full disclosure – I work in weddings.

My initial thought was, I do this every day and I know what I’m doing – I don’t need a coordinator. Spoiler Alert – I definitely needed Carla Friday. I hired her a month out when I couldn’t take the stress anymore and started second guessing everything I already decided on. Carla was there to be a professional sounding board on what would or wouldn’t work for our event, she was there to be a friend to help lighten the mood when I got overwhelmed, and she was even down to fight for me when one of my vendors got out of hand and was making me mad. LOL. Carla helped me make important final decisions, get all the vendor paperwork prepared and filled out for our venue, and kept revising our day of timeline up until the night before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Carla was RUNNING around doing so many things for us that I didn’t even know we needed. She handled so many tiny little issues that I didn’t even know about – and that’s the way it absolutely should be. If you’re on the fence about hiring her, I say do it. You spend all this time, money and energy on planning this one day of your life, the least you can do for YOURSELF is to hire Carla and/or her team so that you can actually enjoy it too. Carla helped us do just that. She took care of everything for us and I can’t thank her enough!!!

From start to finish Carla came in like a breath of fresh air! 

Even before the coordination was supposed to start she responded to our inquiries within minutes. She stayed on top of our vendors to make sure our day was set to run smoothly. On our wedding day we had issues with our hotel and Carla came in and literally saved the day! During the reception she made sure we had the best time and made sure we ate food from cocktail hour… ate dinner… and had our wedding cake! She exceed our expectations for a day of coordinator!
