Your Day Your Way Event Planning and Wedding Coordination

We worked with Sydney at Your Day Your Way Event Planning for our wedding in March, and she was fantastic. We had separate ceremony and reception venues, and the reception venue was the Golden Gardens Bathhouse, which is a bit "do it yourself." Knowing that Sydney and her assistants were handling all of the setup and logistics was really essential to letting us just relax and enjoy the day. Everything went wonderfully. When our picture-taking time between the ceremony and reception ran a bit long, she smoothly managed the reception timing so that it still finished on schedule, but without anything feeling rushed at all. We truly couldn’t have been happier with how the day turned out, and having Sydney as our day-of-coordinator was a big part of that.

Sydney from Your Day Your Way was absolutely wonderful. She made our wedding day a breeze! She listened to all of our requests and had great suggestions. The reception hall was absolutely beautiful! Sydney made it so that we could just enjoy the day! I definitely recommend hiring Sydney with Your Day Your Way as your wedding planner!

I knew when we met Sydney, she was the perfect planner for us. Her professional, confident, organized manner was most impressive. There was absolutely no pressure and the services she would provide were very clear. Her immediate response to each email also gave me confidence she was on top of things and really cared about each event. About a month before my daughter's wedding, my 96-year-old mother's health began to deteriorate. She passed away one week before the wedding. Wedding plans were put on the back burner and funeral plans became our priority. Sydney was wonderful. She had the maturity to understand the crisis our family was experiencing. She took over and made sure everything was on schedule and I had complete confidence that she would make sure everything came off as planned. It was a beautiful wedding, fun reception and everything happened without a glitch. No one would ever know I had forgotten some of the decorations, table numbers, and numerous other items. Sydney covered for me. Sydney, you are the best and I would recommend you to anyone based on the flexibilty of your personality and the confidence in which you can handle any situation and your natural ability to organize and that wonderful upbeat personality that would put anyone at ease.

As a semi-control freak bride, I worked very hard to plan every detail of the wedding. Sydney took notes and remembered every detail. She also helped me think of a few details I did not think of. When the wedding day came, I had spent the prior weeks worrying about every detail. In Sydney and her assistant's hands, I spent my wedding day having an amazing time, without a care in the world. I would think of something last minute and they would have it taken care of. I cannot imagine how stressful my day would have been if I had not hired her. The rate is so reasonable for the amazing job she does!

A wedding planner should be the number one wedding planning purchase to be made in preparation for a wedding. Sydney was invaluable to us and worth every single penny. Sydney gave me the opportunity to spend every single moment of the wedding day with my daughter (the bride). I didn't have to worry about our vision being realized...Sydney created the wedding of my daughter's dream and I didn't have to deal with any of the issues that cropped up on the day of the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Sydney...she is just great!

Sydney was such an amazing asset to our wedding day and looking back now, I don't think we could have done it without her. When we met for the first time we sat in Starbucks and she brought up so many good questions and ideas that my mom and I had not thought of. After the first meeting, most of our stresses were taken care of and never to be thought of again. Leading up to the wedding Sydney was great with communications, we texted, called, and e-mailed her multiple times and she would get back to us within minutes. On our wedding, we didn't stress about a thing. Sydney helped with EVERYTHING! She was at the venue setting up, welcoming guests and other vendors, handing out final payments, making sure all of the wedding party was were they were supposed to be, and doing all the odds and ends things. I know our day would not have been as amazing if she wouldn't have been there. We have had many compliments on Sydney and how smooth she kept our day running. My cousin came up to me yesterday and said when she gets married (one day) she will be calling Sydney because she has never seen a wedding be so orgaznied. Thank you Sydney for all the hard work you did, I will give your name to EVERY SINGLE PERSON I KNOW :)

Sydney was a wealth of knowledge during the planning phase of our wedding, as well as was there to listen to all of our ideas and help us to make the right decisions for our unique day. The day of our wedding Sydney took care of all the details so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Sydney has all the characteristics you would want of your wedding coordinator. She is professional, prompt, flexible, resourceful, and has a wonderful personality. Her business name says it all-she wanted our wedding day to be done exactly our way and she made that happen.

Words cannot express our thanks to you and everything you did to make the day go by so beautifully. Jerry and I had the time of our lives and we cannot thank you enough. We love how you were able to change things up at the last minute and still execute flawlessly! To this day our guests are still raving about the wedding and what an amazing time they had. Sydney - Special thanks to you. You knew my every need, my every desire, and predicted the next step before I even got there. Even my mom noticed...she believes you were the best investment I made in the wedding day and noticed how you had your eyes on me the whole time. Jerry and I are so lucky to have met you guys. Thank you SO much!

Sydney was great to work with as our day-of coordinator for our June 2011 wedding. She was very responsive to email and was very helpful and detailed at our venue walk-through and was happy to provide recommendations for other vendors. On the day of the wedding, she helped us stay organized and on schedule and she and her team did an amazing job setting up the decor at the venue. During the wedding, it was such a relief to have her as the point person and know that she would be there to handle any issues that came up. A family member had an issue with dietary restrictions and she was able to get a special meal from the caterer without me having to deal with it at all. And at the end of the night, she made sure that all the decor and gifts were packed up so no one in my family or wedding party had to be put to work on cleanup duty. Our investment in Sydney was totally worth the money and I would definitely choose her again.

Sydney was a fantastic Day of Coordinator! She and her assistant took care of everything on our wedding day and really reduced my stress level. Knowing she was there to take care of everything really allowed everyone else to just enjoy the wedding. With the help of Your Day Your Way Event Planning, we had the most beautiful, most fun wedding ever. My decorations were executed perfectly and with great attention to detail. I would very much recommend Sydney and her team.

Hiring Sydney for our wedding day was the best decision we could have made. She was extremely helpful and efficient. She made sure everything was setup just how we wanted and payed attention to every detail. I absolutely recommend getting a wedding planner to help on the wedding day, this takes a lot of weight off your shoulders.

Hiring Sydney as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made. Throughout the planning process, Sydney made us feel at ease and we always knew we could rely on her. Sydney was always willing to meet with us when needed and welcome our endless questions. When we had contractual issues with vendors, Sydney was there for support and offered great advice. She took the time to find out exactly what we wanted from her and how we envisioned our wedding. The day of our wedding Sydney took control, which is exactly what we wanted. She executed our vision flawlessly and made the venue look beautiful. Throughout the night, we never had to worry about a thing. If an issue came up, Sydney handled it. She made sure we were both taken care of and comfortable all night. She truly made our wedding perfect and we have nothing but good things to say about her and her services. We are so lucky Sydney was able to be a part of our wedding and we can’t thank her enough!

Are the personalized cocktail napkins going to get to the bar? Are the toasting flutes our mothers gave us going to be at our table at the reception? Are all the place cards going to be in the right spot? Like any bride and groom, we were worried about all the little details of our wedding day; until we met Sydney with Your Day Your Way that is. We actually first met Sydney a year earlier when she was the day-of coordinator for the wedding of our friend's Lindsay and Nick. I was immediately impressed at how personable she was and how well she handled everything for their wedding. I knew I would keep her number handy when it came time to plan my own wedding. After my husband proposed a year later we knew just who to call. At our first meeting Sydney exuded such professionalism and confidence that I knew everything was going to be perfect. She thought of things we hadn’t, and I am so grateful for that. As they say, the best offense is a good defense, and I was so happy to know she was there as backup for whatever life was going to throw at us on our wedding day (and as you read, we had a couple curve balls). I know that family is often called upon to do the things that a day of coordinator does. A big reason we hired Your Day Your Way was so our mothers wouldn’t be burdened in that way. It was important to my husband and I that they enjoy the day too and I know they appreciated that. At one point, on the morning of our wedding day, I could tell my mom was really stressing about things. I told her, "Mom, you need to let Sydney handle that. She knows what to do." After I said that I could see her tension lift and she was able to soak in the special moments of the day. That was priceless. The rest of our day went perfect in our eyes. Little did we know, we had uninvited wedding crashers that attempted to join the party and we had a guest trip and fall resulting in an aid car being called! We never had a clue thanks to Sydney and Hayden who handled it all. I can’t stress enough what a good idea it is to hire Sydney as your day of coordinator or wedding planner. I know you’ll be pleased. Your wedding day should go exactly as you see it going and Sydney will make sure that happens.

Sydney was fantastic as my day of wedding coordinator. She was so enthusiastic about my ideas and she was really helpful during the venue walk through when I had to decide how and where to set everything up. She was definitely willing to go above and beyond to make sure I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day, and it was so reassuring to know that she was taking care of everything. The setup and decor was exactly what I had envisioned, and everything went really smoothly (and the one thing that didn't go smoothly, I didn't find out about until the next day!). I would highly recommend Your Day, Your Way for day of wedding coordination, and after all the time I spent planning, I wish I had hired her to plan the whole wedding!

We learned about YourDayYourWay event planning through a friend that used their services for their wedding and raved about how wonderful they were. They couldn't have been more spot on. Sydney was absolutely wonderful at our wedding! She made us feel calm and confident through the whole planning process and wedding day itself. Best of all she was great to put up with my crazy family with a smile! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a worry free wedding day! Kelline Freeberg

Sydney was incredible! She and I communicated every step of the way and she was beyond organized! I had this outdoor, middle of no-where one outlet venue- and it was the MOST incredible party that I have ever been to!! Everything from rentals to caterers to photographers and videographers- she was an expert coordinator! Worth EVERY penny, and I would do it all over again and wouldn't change a thing! She ROCKED! She also had an assistant with her at one of our meetings and the rehearsal and big day, so it really felt like I was getting 2 people for the price of one! Thank you so much Sydney!

As a mother of the bride, a very organized young woman, I had very little to do until the rehearsal dinner and then day of the wedding. Sydney and her assistant were tremendous to work with! I can't imagine a more personable, professional, flexible team, along with great communication skills and a sense of can-do and get it done! Sydney brought the right questions to me, solved other issues as needed, added great value and ideas, and was tireless! You can't go wrong!

Every bride beams to hear the words "perfect" and "beautiful" used to describe their wedding. Those were the words I heard most often from my guests on our big day, and that is due in no small part to the efforts of our wonderful day-of coordinators. I think that the ladies at Your Day Your Way may have been the most underpaid vendors at my wedding. They were absolutely on top of their game every second of the wedding day, and Sydney's support and flexible approachability was invaluable in the months leading up to the wedding. All I paid for was day-of coordination, but Sydney provided expertise, guidance and effort in helping to coordinate vendors and perfect our timeline and offer advice and suggestions. The whole team went above and beyond to make sure that I didn't have a thing to worry about on the day of the wedding, and neither did my mother, my bridesmaids, or any of my loved ones. What a great deal, and what a great decision to book Your Day Your Way.

My overall impressions was that Sydney is very professional, she kept in good contact with myself and the vendors. She was available to answer any random question I had and had good suggestions on different ways to do things. One idea that we loved was having our parents act as greeters. She was always quick to return a phone call, and we were planning while she was pregnant and had a baby. If there were any problems on the day of the wedding I had no idea and still don't. She handled everything perfectly, even reminding my mom that she was there to enjoy herself and not work. She has a way of getting people to listen without being rude or overbearing. Her execution of the decor matched what I had envisioned. What a joy to see all your hard work and planning come together. Before the wedding she asked great questions to make sure she knew what we wanted. She is very through and meticulous, wanting to make it perfect. Originally we weren't going to hire a DOC but I wouldn't do it any other way. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything but yourself and your husband to be and to truly enjoy every moment.

When we became engaged last year we were both so excited to start planning the wedding. We thought it would be easy since we had over a year until the big day. We had all our vendors picked 5 months in advance and thought that everything was going smoothly. Two months before the wedding the stress started. We were worried about the details of the day and vendors started asking questions we didn't know answers to. Neither one of us knew what order things were supposed to go in or proper wedding etiquette. That's when we hired Sydney Fee from Your Day Your Way. We couldn't have done it without her. She took all of my contracts and all of a sudden she had everything under control. No matter what questions we had she either had the answer or found it. Stress was quickly lifted off of our shoulders. A lot of couples don't enjoy their wedding day because they are constantly trying to make sure things happen but we had so much fun! Whenever we had to be somewhere Sydney told us. If any of the vendors had questions they were going to her instead of us. If I had to do it again I would have hired her much sooner!
