“My wife and I got married on 9/28/2024 in Brighton, MI. and knew we needed to have coordinator(s) to help keep us on track with planning and assist us on the day of. Our main goal was to live in the moment on our wedding day and not lift a finger or make any decisions, and we achieved that solely because of Dom, Lieng, Macy, and Ursula.
We worked with Dom and Lieng about 1.5 years prior to our big day, and communication was nothing clear & consistent. We had an issue with the first DJ we booked that ended in me calling Dom crying at 8:30 pm on a Friday evening, all for her to offer me a quick solution and assure me that she had us. She was able to recommend us a new DJ and put us in contact, we had him booked by the next morning and he was nothing short of perfection. They even went as far to ask how we would want them to handle certain scenarios of misbehaved or unwanted guests, I mean its silly to say, but they truly made us feel protected. They were there for us and ONLY us.
They created a timeline, kept in contact with all of our other vendors, provided inspiration with methods to make it happen, kept a planning checklist with reminders of when to book, when to pay, when to focus on details, numbered recommendations on dessert, alcohol, late night snacks, etc. based on our guest count, things I needed and decisions to make that I never would've thought of without them. They attended our rehearsal the day before the wedding and whipped everybody into shape, did not leave without ensuring that my wife and I felt comfortable and confident.
Now, for the day of the wedding. Lieng was out on a leave so we unfortunately did not get to meet her, but Dom brought two assistants: Macy and Ursula. I joke and say that they were my own personal secret service, but I am not kidding when I say they were not far off. Dom handled the majority of vendors and things inside before the ceremony started, while the assistants kept both parties on time, was our right-hands to make sure we had everything we needed, and motivated us to stay hydrated. The three of them wore ear pieces to stay in contact and keep updated on parties, guests, vendors, etc. They gave us directions on when and where to be so our timeline was on track, rounded up appetizers, got us drinks, and packaged up to-go containers of food for us on that night.
We had an issue where our photographers tip went missing towards the end of the night, and immediately the three of them were on it. They removed everybody from our treehouse room, locked up our cards and personal belongings, and cleaned up the entire space to search for it. They set up the bed with rose petals, our cake, a gift from the three of them, which I just thought was the sweetest.
We opted to have a private last dance in the venue space, and the three of them wrangled out all of our rowdy family and friends with no excuses so we could enjoy the moment with just us. They waited until all of our guests vacated the premises and were the last ones to leave the venue, excluding us.
I mean -- you name it, they did it. The place was spotless the next day.
They were easily the most valued and "worth it" vendor we couldve had, and I give anyone who does not have a day-of coordinator major props because without them our day probably wouldve been one hot mess. Our day was nothing short of perfect, and we owe that to them.”
