We hired Bly as a day-of-wedding-coordinator. Though that is what we paid her for, she was much more than that! My husband and I are not party planners by any means and we were in way over our heads at some points! but once we hooked up with Bly, we always felt like everything was under control. She was available to answer our questions by phone or email any time and she also met us at our wedding site on two separate occasions, to speak with the managers there and work everything out. She hooked us up with our fabulous caterer, Michael Woodward, and even came to our home to assist him as he prepared a full free preview meal.
Not only did Bly help us with our preparations (including ordering all our rentals for the event making sure to get the best price and personally hand-writing all of our place cards, and making sure we had plans in place for everything we would need at the wedding) but she made the event itself go so smoothly. Like another reviewer, our site was completely do it yourself and clean up when you're done. We didn't have to worry about a thing, she and her staff set up the venue and took care of every detail (including decorating everything, helping to set up the chuppah, setting the tables, hanging a banner that she suggested we get, setting up signs, setting up the bathrooms to be guest friendly, and so much more I'm sure I don't even know that she took care of...). Even though it was my wedding, I felt like someone else was throwing a party for my husband and I, we were both perfectly relaxed.
The manager of the park where our wedding took place mentioned that he had seen weddings come and go there but Bly was a real professional and great to work with. We definitely agree! She was always professional and respectful of our families and went with the flow while keeping the important things in order. Any time anyone had a question for us about what needed to happen we just referred them to Bly and she handled it with grace. She took care of clean up at the end of the night, we didn't have to think of anything, she even delivered our gifts to our home the day after the wedding.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives so far, all our guests had a great time and we know that the reason it all went so smoothly was Bly and the great staff that she brought along. We also had a very tight budget and she really worked with us to make sure we got a good price on all the necessities and cut costs wherever we could. Who knows what disasters might have ensued if she wasn't on our side, but we are glad we never found out! read more
