Wow, where do I even start?! My husband Joseph and I wanted to save as much money as we could, but we also didn't want to lift a finger the day of our wedding. We decided to use Direct My Day, and let me tell you all - I could not have imagined having my wedding without them! We only used them for the reception portion of our wedding since we had our ceremony offsite. Saneta was amazing as the point of contact leading up to a month prior to our wedding. After that, Courtney A. was our main contact. She handled all the vendors and made sure everything was being taken care of. She was even a great person to go to when I needed to vent about anything! She would tell me that everything would run smooth and not to worry about other things and to relax. She was like my wedding BFF! Anytime I needed anything she was so quick to respond. If she missed my call she returned it within minutes. Things got hectic leading up to our wedding day, and we couldn't get all the minor details to her. She reassured me she would make everything look great, and that's exactly what she did! There was also another Courtney helping her the day of, and she was amazing too! My son wanted to sit with his cousins, but of course that day he changed his mind and wanted to sit with us at our sweetheart table. Courtney took care of it within minutes, and brought his plate of food. Both Courtney's treated us like VIP's and we didn't have to do a thing! They had to switch an item in the timeline because the sun was setting and BAM it was all taken care of. I can't thank Saneta, Courtney A., and Courtney enough for their hardwork and attention to detail. Joseph and I are so grateful for you 3 and love you so much for making our day perftect. If you are indecisive about using them let me tell you, HIRE THEM! You won't regret it! read more

This review is for Jackie and she really deserves 10 out of 5 stars if that were possible. She was phenomenal in coordinating our wedding day and made everything run so smoothly. Really all we had to do was tell Jackie what we wanted, drop off all of our materials 2 days before, and leave it all up to her. She was professional, communicative, and caring. The one thing I REALLY appreciated out of Jackie, was that she was so lax on the day of our wedding. She ran things along so smoothly but also didn't keep us to a super tight schedule and let things run it's course naturally. Even though the reception seems long, it's a lot to fit in in a short amount of time but Jackie didn't rush us or make us feel like we needed to do things at the exact moment the timeline was laid out. I didn't once feel wound up and she made me feel super relaxed. She also decorated all of the tables beautifully and really put together what I had envisioned and planned for for months. It was executed perfectly and all of our guests kept complimenting the venue and decorations. She also packed up all of our stuff at the end of the night so we just had to hop into the limo. Jackie always checked in with me and made sure I was ok, hydrated and atleast ate something. She kept checking in on me like a big sister and it was so sincere. My husband and I are VERY grateful to Jackie, Saneta, and the direct my day team. Big thanks to a business that deserves all the stars they deserve. read more

My husband and I couldn't have been more happy then the work Courtney did for us leading up to the big day & the day of! Saneta helped us along the way as well. Of course there's things that are bound to change even on the day of. But Courtney made everything so easy for us. Having assigned seating can be so hard with guest who don't understand that they can't just bring who ever they want or add people last min. But luckily Courtney was able to help us out with some last minute changes. As far as day of goes, Courtney stayed so calm and collective which made us calm and rest assure everything was going right. She kept our scheduled time line on time and punctual. Which we loved! We never had to worry about doing things cause she would just come and get us. Not only were we really impressed with Courtney but so we're our guests. We had a lot of family and friends tell us she was so nice & sweet to help them out. Hands down. Get a coordinator & if you can get Courtney. read more

Well deserved 5 star review for Vanessa. We had the debate between hiring a wedding coordinator and doing it ourselves. I'm glad we went ahead and hired Direct My Day because it made the days leading up to the wedding along with the wedding day itself less stressful. They put together a minute by minute timeline and shared that with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. They were helpful in making sure any decorations we brought were setup, we were where we needed to be, and most importantly everything went without a hiccup. After attending weddings we knew that we wanted table photos with our guests but sometimes that could take a while since all of your guest want to congratulate you and chat. Vanessa helped us move along and made sure the next table was already positioned for us. One of the better investments for our wedding. If doing a wedding at Canyon View, hiring Direct My Day is a must. read more

This review is for Vanesa. I hired her as the Day of Coordinator for my wedding in September 2017 and I wish I would've had her as my full wedding planner. I wasn't sure if I wanted a coordinator but going to graduate school full time and planning a wedding with 350+ guests was beyond stressful. I'm so glad I got paired with Vanesa. From the moment I met her to go over our reception details until the end of my wedding, she's been such a joy to work with. There was a hiccup in the seating arrangements which caused a bit of chaos but she was able to fix it right away. She deserves 1000000 stars for dealing with my crazy family and helping pack up after I became *unavailable* after the weddin lol! I honesty don't know what I would've done without her! I'm so looking forward to having her as future wedding anniversary planner. THATS HOW GOOD SHE IS! read more

Wow one of the BEST investments I did for my wedding! Let me just say that VANESA was AMAZING! Even though i got the day of coordination, Vanesa made sure she was always available to help me. Whether that was researching vendors or answering all my texts, she made sure to really ease the planning process. She is the sweetest person and was an absolute joy to work with. Her organization, creativity, and dedication to her work truly shines. On the day of the wedding she set up all of my decorations. I dropped everything off the day before and left her pictures for setup which she executed flawlessly. She also made a crazy detailed schedule from the ceremony to the end of the reception. The schedule was also given to all the vendors (which was color coded so each vendor knew what they were responsible for during specific parts of the timeline). Everything ran so smoothly and many of my guests complimented us on how everything ran. Never did I have to look at my watch and worry about the timelines because Vanesa would be there to get us ready for the next part of the program. My now husband and I were able to enjoy the day stress free and really take in the moment. I can't thank Direct My Day and Vanesa enough for all they did! They made sure we had the best day of our lives and for that we will forever be grateful! read more

This review is for Vanesa... Ever since the first day we began working with her as our day-of coordinator, she clearly communicated with myself and my now husband either by text or email. She always followed up and was always extremely helpful and quick with answering any questions, comments or concerns we had. We absolutely loved working with her! I don't know how we could have had a smooth, stress-free, and beautiful wedding reception without her help! I don't know think I could ever stop saying thank you for all she did for us, our guests, family and friends, and vendors. If you plan to get married at Canyon View, I HIGHLY recommend hiring on Direct My Day for your day-of coordinating needs. They truly know how to make YOUR perfect day PERFECT. Thank you again, Vanesa! read more

Our wedding took place on 12-13-14 We literally planned and orchestrated the entire wedding just the two of us! However, planning and coordinating are two completely different tasks! We picked Canyon View as our reception venue and we met Saneta there for the very first time! The day of our wedding was unforgettable because Saneta and her staff made it very special. At first we thought we could handle all of the coordinating tasks ourselves or pass some of the responsibilities to the DJ but we quickly realized that wouldn't have been a good idea! We thought who needs a stinking coordinator when we can do everything ourselves right? Wrong! Once the pressure of time and so many other things to plan prior to the wedding accumulated, we finally decided to hire Saneta and "Direct My Day" to coordinate our event. Our wedding was enchanting from beginning to end and having Saneta as our coordinator was the icing on the cake! She took a heavy load of stress off our backs. In other words, she allowed us to enjoy our event and not stress or worry about any details! She was the director, the camera man, the producer, and the editor all at once! We were just actors playing the part in a well detailed and orchestrated movie! Saneta made our day more special than we expected! Hiring her was not only necessary but the smartest choice we made! She directed our event with finesse, etiquette, great attention to detail, and professionalism! I believe those are some of the qualities that landed Saneta the job as Canyon View coordinator. We trusted Saneta and her staff with a very important day which carried not only huge expenses but also great spiritual meaning to us. The date was also important because 12-13-14 will not repeat again for another 100 years! Saneta made our wedding and wedding date unforgettable! Thank you Saneta and all of your staff at "Direct My Day" for making our Wedding Day a Magical and Enchanted night a happily ever after we will never cease to forget!

Direct My Day - Wedding day 12-13-14 Coordinated by Seneta @ Canyon View - Party & Event Planning Near Me - San Ramon, California

This review is for the amazing Vanessa!! She was assigned as our wedding coordinator and oh my god she is the absolute best! As we all know, there are always last minute changes during weddings especially on the week of and Vanessa was really patient with us with all those changes and she made everything work. Vanessa really worked hard during our wedding to accommodate everything. As expected during weddings, there are times where something will be delayed and geez she came up with something so that we will be able to catch up and do everything that's been planned. She is very detail oriented and made sure everything looks beautiful and presentable. Vanessa will never leave you alone to the point where you don't know what to do or to expect. She is like a guardian angel ready to swoop in when she sees something about to go wrong. Overall, Vanessa is the person to go to on your wedding.. And Saneta, you have a keeper, please take care of her :) Thank you for everything!! read more

It was a pleasure to work with Direct My Day Courtney last Saturday at Canyon View. From the first point of contact, day of Wedding, and even after the event Courtney was on top of everything. She made sure that everyone was on the same page and did everything she could to make sure the flow went smooth. I would highly recommend her and the team at Direct My Day for all your event needs!!!!! read more

Direct My Day is hands down the best! For most of the planning, we had worked with Saneta. She was super nice and helpful. She gave suggestions that best suited our needs. Very responsive and always there for us when we had questions. We were pretty bummed that she was going to be out of town to coordinate our wedding. BUT! After meeting with Vanesa, we were truly excited to be working with her as well! Vanesa is the sweetest person ever! She responded so quickly to our emails and texts. She was on top of everything. Everything went so well the day of our wedding and I could not thank her enough! I received a follow up email from her, and I was hoping to get a lot of bad news. Surprisingly they were so minor that I didn't even notice. Thankfully! We are so happy that we chose Direct My Day! You guys are awesome! read more

We had our wedding reception at Canyon View on 4/30/16 and it was everything we hoped for! From the moment we first came to check out the venue (almost a year prior) right up to the actual day, Saneta always went above and beyond to help make our special day go perfectly. We strongly recommend the Direct My Day service because Saneta always answers questions promptly and thoroughly (no matter how silly you think they are) and she genuinely shows you that she cares about her couples. We knew we were in good hands and it really allowed us to enjoy the day and not be stressed. Our guests are STILL texting and calling to tell us how much fun they had, how beautiful the venue was, and that the food and BYOB style bar was a hit (can't beat the value)! After trying out the food at the large event that Canyon View hosts for their booked couples, we asked Saneta for more flavor on certain dishes and the venue definitely delivered on the day. All our worries about doing a buffet-stlye dinner melted away with our first bites which were awesome. So, in sum, if you are looking for a beautiful venue, attentive staff and an amazing day-of coordinator, then Canyon View is definitely your spot! read more

I made the mistake of trying to plan a wedding while going to nursing school full time. I didn't think I would ever see my dream wedding come to life the way I had pictured it to be. But it did!!!! Saneta and Vanesa from Direct My Day made my dream wedding into reality and my husband and I can't thank them enough. From the initial meeting, Saneta was so warm and welcoming and she'll tell you like it is. I have never felt so relaxed and never trusted anyone more than her team. Vanesa was very sweet and always ready to answer my calls and late night texts and she's always so so calm. Our wedding turned out amazing!!! Our guests enjoyed the wedding and it couldn't have been done without Direct my Day. Thank you again ladies! read more

For those of you who think you can get by without a wedding coordinator, good luck to you. No matter how organized of a person you believe you are, there's nothing like having someone there to constantly be on top of your schedule, making adjustments based on the flow of the day, while also remembering all the small things you likely forgot when living in the moment. Saneta and Brooke with Direct My Day were absolutely amazing for us. They took care of us like royalty, and made sure any issues the day of were addressed with ease. When we forgot something crucial to the wedding, Saneta's assistant Brooke drove down to Target to get it for us mid wedding! Such a simple gesture meant the world to us in our time of need and catastrophe. In addition to this, Saneta did a great job communicating with all our vendors both before the wedding and the day of. She coordinated the entire set up, and even laid out decorations for us in the morning. Everything from A to Z was covered, and we seriously don't know how we could have made it through the day without her. People always say that your wedding day is over before you realize it. That's because so many things are happening at once, which is why an amazing coordinator is so worth it. Both my wife and I recommend Direct My Day to anyone considering them. You won't regret it! read more

I could not have picked a better company to ensure my wedding went smoothly. Courtney is an absolute rockstar and helped me stay on track with everything. So many details that would have been missed without her, I honestly don't know how my wedding would have been pulled together if she wasn't there. All of my questions, concerns, last minute wants, etc. were all taken care of thanks to Direct my Day and Courtney / Angela specifically! I would recommend them in a heartbeat! read more

My wife and I could not have made a better decision to have Vanesa coordinate our wedding on October 27th, 2017 at Canyon View!! Vanesa was AMAZING at what she does in making sure we have the most spectacular wedding! If it was possible, she would get more than just a "5 star" on this review. Vanesa made sure everything was accurate from day one of us getting Direct My Day to the end of the night of our wedding. She communicated with us constantly leading up to the wedding date to make sure every detail was the way we wanted it. We will definitely recommend Direct My Day and their venue Canyon View, AMAZING STAFF. read more

Saneta with Direct My Day is amazing! Not only is she outstanding at what she does, but she becomes a friend right as you meet her! My fiancé and I made an appointment to tour Canyon View for a potential venue for our wedding and this is when we first met Saneta. Right away, I felt comfortable with her with any questions we may have had and because of that initial feeling of trust and professionalism, we booked with her after 20 minutes! Another amazing quality she has is that she lays everything on the table for you so that you know exactly what they have to offer without any last minute surprise costs. From the time we booked, right up until our wedding day, Saneta was on point with every single detail and she responded to any and all questions I had right away. We could definitely tell that she loves what she does and her passion shows through her work. I can honestly say that if we didn't have Saneta coordinating our big day, I think I would've fell apart lol. Unfortunately, we went with an outside vendor for our flowers and it was a disaster. Seriously a bride's worst nightmare. The florist was almost two hours late, had absolutely nothing done and didn't provide not one thing we discussed and paid for. Even though I knew what was going on, Saneta made sure to keep me calm and relaxed and made sure I knew everything was getting done and not to worry. I really appreciated that because she cared about how I felt on the biggest day of my life and made sure I was at my best mentally and emotionally before I walked down that aisle. Saneta, thank you so much for everything!! You're so talented and amazing at your job! Never stop doing what you do. read more

Direct my day is an absolute must! Without a day of coordinator, our wedding day may have been disastrous lol. Saneta went above and beyond to make our day stress free and perfect. You, your partner and wedding party will know exactly what is happening hour by hour. My wedding guests arrived late due to a car accident, however with the help of Saneta we were able to do everything we planned in a timely manner and with ease. If there was anything that did not go as planned, I had no idea about it and Saneta handled everything without a flaw! Saneta also gave excellent advice without being pushy, which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Saneta! read more

Saneta and Vanessa are truly amazing! They are awesome at their job and what is more incredible is they love to do what they do. They went above and beyond and I would give them 10 stars if I could. They take care of you and make sure that your day is truly a special day. They help guide you months before the wedding up until you are about to walk down the aisle. They accommodated every need and even suggested a better alternative if needed. The Direct My Day team answers email/texts/calls promptly and they never judge on what the question may be. They work with all your vendors and they reach out to the vendor themselves if they see a problem arise. Canyon Vew and the Direct My Day team is where you'll find your dream wedding. read more

My husband and I first met Saneta at the Canyon View San Ramon venue one year ago (which is an awesome venue by the way!). She had offered us a service to direct our once-in-a-lifetime event, and I have to say that they did an excellent job! Saneta and Courtney both were there for us from the beginning of my preparation, until the end of day on our wedding day. I hear from advices and from my own experiences, that hiring the right wedding coordinator is very crucial to ensure smooth and enjoyable wedding day. You would not want to worry about all the small details and ruin your enjoyment for the day. You can plan all your dream wedding details and events up until few days before your wedding, and then you can delegate them to Direct My Day. Next thing, all you have to do is show up and enjoy your own banquet! You are able to drop off your wedding items one day before the wedding, and have DMD takes care of everything from placecards, drinks, guestbooks, wedding favors, candles, seating charts, and anything else you can think of. Saneta and Courtney have both been so responsive by email, texts, and phone calls. I feel like we have soo many questions regarding the venue, banquet, and rundown details, yet they never fail to answer every single questions. They were also able to accommodate wedding rundown changes and adjust to our preferences. Our wedding went smoothly and we really enjoy every single minutes if it. I feel like hiring DMD is one of the best decisions I have ever made! Saneta also has grown to be more than just our wedding organizer. She actually comforted me when I was overwhelmed by so many details of the wedding planning. Such a sweet lady! The venue itself, Canyon View Banquet Hall, is also a hit amongst our guests. They have not stopped talking about how beautiful the wedding was and that the BYOB open bar was awesome! This venue just understands that not everybody is a drinker, and we can save money and buy our own number of alcohols judging by your guests. Everything from the banquet hall, foods, the fountain and the actual "canyon view" are so beautiful and great! Our guests love the sunset photo time! Canyon View was just renovated earlier this year. The new hardwood floor and the lighting package made our wedding so beautiful! The food was so delicious according to our guests, especially the salmon and prime ribs! The tiramisu dessert is also to die for, based on our guests' compliments. In conclusion, we HIGHLY recommend Canyon View and Direct My Day! read more

Saneta is an amazing wedding coordinator. I actually forgot to submit my form for a wedding coordinator in February and told Saneta a month before the wedding that I forgot to submit the form back to her. Saneta was really accommodating and still let me request for a wedding coordinator. Due to the last minute of requesting, Saneta said she will coordinate for us. I was so happy that she was our coordinator. She was very thorough and attentive. The day of the wedding, she was amazing. We were running late but Saneta got us through the night. We were so busy that we didn't have time to do a video for her (which I really regret). But overall, Saneta did an excellent job and made our night so great! read more

Found Direct My Day (DMD) after touring the Canyon View venue last year, for our wedding earlier this year. (this review is SO overdue!) Saneta and Vanesa were so helpful! They were very timely and to the point with their responses to our questions (which I'm sure they get ALL the time!) which I really appreciated. They listened to our concerns and ideas and worked with us on how we could make our visions work in a way that was effective. They are both so sweet and knowledgeable, by drawing from past experiences and examples and our family loved them! They are the reason everything ran SO smoothly (with their handy-dandy timelines!) and we couldn't be more thankful for having that piece of mind during such a stressful day! Definitely recommend! read more

We had Vanesa as our Day of Coordinator and because of her, our reception was the time of our lives. Vanesa began working with us a couple weeks leading up to our wedding day. From the start, she was a pleasure to work with. In these stressful times of wedding planning, she was was so accommodating and patient with us as we finalized the details of our reception. She helped us lay out all the details of the wedding reception so that we can have all the parts of the reception we wanted. On our wedding day, she made sure my wife and I and our guests were all taken care of. She took care of so much, from getting our tables decorated, coordinating with all of our vendors, and staying past her end time. The reception ran so smoothly because of Vanesa. We never had to worry about anything in the reception because Vanesa had everything under control. She stayed positive and cheerful throughout the day, which we fed off of. All the work put into the wedding planning came together to because of Vanesa, and we were able to enjoy the day to its fullest. read more

Saneta is awesome! We chose Canyon View to be our wedding venue and that's how we met her. She offered her services as a day of event coordinator when we booked the venue but at the time I was thinking that I (AKA the bride) would be able to plan, organize and execute my whole wedding... Soon enough I started to panic and realize that no matter how organized or good at planning and delegating I am it's pretty impossible to be a bride and an event coordinator at the same time! So my mother in law called Saneta and she came to the rescue!!! Getting Saneta to direct our special day was the BEST decision ever. She was so nice, sweet, understanding, and prompt... She was part of the planning since day 1 after we hired her! One of my favorite things was how detailed her time line for the event was. She was very attentive on the days leading to my wedding, she called, texted emailed us and all the vendors. On the day of my wedding Saneta was on point and so professional. She set up decoration items and everything else that needed to be done for the wedding. She completely went above and beyond for us and our wedding was completely perfect and she was definitely one of the reasons why. Thank you so much Saneta for all your help, Direct my day is now forever in our hearts! A & I read more

Direct My Day - 9.25.15 Our Perfect Wedding - Best Party of our lives, thanks to Saneta, Direct my Day! - Party & Event Planning Near Me - San Ramon, California

The best service anyone could ever ask for. Saneta took extremely good care of us.any questions we had she helped find an answer for. When we had a problem with a vendor she helped find a more than suitable replacement that was better than what we found in every way. Highly recommend using direct my day to make your wedding a walk in the park. Saneta was very professional and planned everything to the t for us. Of course we were able to completely customize and arrange the wedding to our taste but she knew exactly what and how we wanted it. Our wedding went amazingly smoothly because we used direct my day and we didnt have anything to fear or worry about on our wedding day. It was absolutely perfect thanks to Saneta! read more

I had the pleasure of working with both Saneta and Vanesa. They both are such amazing women and we're so incredibly helpful all around. They always text me back instantly when I needed them and they made sure to keep me calm and on track. Day of the wedding Saneta was with me and I couldn't have imagined it to go any better! She is so sweet and soft spoken but definitely can handle business!! Please don't try and do your own wedding (which was my original plan). You WILL regret. These girls are SO amazing. Saneta made sure to check in with me before any changes to the timeline/itinerary were made. Do not pass on these services! WORTH EVERY PENNY! Thank you gals so much xxx read more

What would we have done without Direct My Day?! These ladies are the most organized people I've ever worked with. We got married yesterday at Canyon View and DMD made sure the whole wedding went smoothly. We got SO many compliments from guests saying the "decor was amazing," "the most on time wedding they have ever been to," and there was "nothing that seemed to 'go wrong'". Courtney was our day of coordinator and I am SO HAPPY SHE WAS! We want to thank Courtney for being in frequent contact with me via text and e-mail throughout the final stages of wedding prep. She was able to get in contact with all of my vendors and make sure everything was absolutely perfect, which helped my stress level emmensely. On the day of (yesterday!), she was very attentive and gave my groom and I timeframes before sunset photos, cake cutting, first dances, etc. Having a 5 minute preparation before the next part of the wedding was extremely helpful. If guests stopped us on our way to cut the cake, or on our way to our first dance, or when we were getting ready for our sparkler exit, she did not rush us. She let us have a convo with the guests/take a photo. Not only was she on top of it, but she is SO NICE and SO easy to talk to/communicate with. She made our day feel so special and pefect. Thank you also to the other Courtney who helped on the day of with the grand entrance, sunset photos, speeches, dances, and ALL of the details. We are SO appreciative of you and your hard work. You are wonderful! A huge thank you to Saneta also. She made us feel at ease from our final meeting, to the rehearsal, to the day of. read more

There aren't enough stars to give Saneta the praise that she deserves! My husband and I first met with Saneta through Canyon View and instantly knew we wanted to work with her as our day of coordinator. Throughout the entire process, she was always available and quick to respond to any emails, texts, or phone calls. She made us feel comfortable and every time I finished meeting with her I would always go home and say "she makes me feel so much better!" She went above and beyond in providing great service to not just us, but my wedding party, entire family, and all of our guests. She really made what seemed like a crazy day feel effortless and we will forever appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and even friendship! If you are looking for a well organized, honest, and absolutely amazing industry professional then do yourself a favor and book with Direct My Day! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Saneta as a vendor and I can't emphasize how much she makes it easy for me and my video team. I'm sure many of her reviews are from clients and so I'd like to chime in with how she works with us vendors behind the scenes and why that is so helpful. I've probably worked with Saneta 6 times in the past 1-2 years and each time, her organization and interaction with people is perfect. I won't go into a minute-by-minute-details of what happens from the moments before a ceremony until the dancing ends, but it's A LOT. Saneta is the person who keeps it all together. For us photo and video people, it's especially helpful because we are made aware of what will happen in five minutes (and exactly five minutes), and who/where. In that five minutes we can clip on microphones, position our people in the best spot, and stage our lighting. It makes a difference! Saneta is on top of this and it's consistent. She'll make sure all the bridal party/guest/vendor needs are taken care of. I've been a part of many weddings where things ran late. I'd probably say about 50% of all our weddings in the past did not run according to the timeline. Anything can happen! As a vendor myself I can't emphasize the importance of timeliness. We used to (back around 2010) be generous with time as long as we felt like we weren't being taken advantage of. An extra 30min? Whats the big deal, right? Until I realized that many other vendors worked on a strict time limit and when we didn't charge for the 30 min extension we made THEM look bad for doing what was right. Keeping the photographer, DJ, photobooth, entertainment and videographer teams for any extended time can get pretty expensive. I've never seen Saneta miss a beat. And she does it while smiling and I feel like the wedding party is just focused on the wedding when she's around. I recommend Direct My Day for any couple. read more

If I could give Direct my day more stars I would! My husband and I got married at Canyon View on June 25, 2016. The minute we walked into Canyon View we knew it was the place to have our wedding at, it's so beautiful there! Saneta and Courtney were AMAZING!! Anytime I had a question before the wedding , Saneta would get back to me right away, she's very professional and the day before the wedding she said to text her at anytime with anything I needed. My husband and I are so happy we did Direct My Day for our wedding, our family and friends are still telling us how beautiful Canyon view is and how much fun they had! Thank you Saneta and Courtney for all your help and making the wedding day a dream come true! read more

Saneta did such a great job "directing the day" for my son's wedding held last year at Canyon View in San Ramon. He and his now wife had done a great job of planning and organizing all the various moving parts that go into a wonderful wedding day with a little help from myself and the bride's mom, as well as one fabulous bridesmaid. As the day grew closer it seemed apparent that managing the schedule of what needed to happen on the actual wedding day would take all of our attention way from actually enjoying the day. We decided to hire Saneta through her Direct My Day services and what a great decision it was! She managed the timeline and saw to it everything happened when it should and just beautifully as well. The wedding at Canyon View was a highlight of all of our lives. I can't recommend her services highly enough.Thanks, Saneta. read more

LOVE Direct My Day!!! Courtney was our Day Coordinator and she was incredibly helpful!! She was thorough, thoughtful, detailed and super on top of everything from start to finish!! I didn't initially intend on hiring a Day Coordinator but so incredibly happy we did!! Courtney and the staff of Direct My Day was worth every penny!!! read more

Saneta and Vanessa knew what they were doing! They were organized in facilitating and coordinating an amazing wedding for my BFFF, and everything went accordingly. If you want an experienced party/event/wedding planners, look no further, Direct My Day is the way to go. read more

After a few days of letting everything sink in, my wife and I were truly happy that we hired Direct My Day for their services. At first we were in contact with Saneta, who has been doing this for years and is truly a professional at her job. Then a month before in our final meeting we met Vanesa, our Day of Coordinator. From that meeting on it was nothing but emails and texts with Vanesa to make sure all our questions or concerns were answered. It was surprising how accessible Vanesa was at any time of the day, didn't matter if it was a weekday or weekend. This is valuable when you are planning your own wedding and have so many things going on from decorations, delivering and ordering alcohol, creating your seating chart, setting up dessert tables, ordering cocktail/wine glasses, etc. Now, on the day of the wedding Vanesa did such an amazing job that all we had to do was relax and enjoy our day. That is all any couple getting married asks for and DMD provides that to each of their couples. Thank You to everyone that was part of our wedding day and making it unforgettable. read more

Saneta was our wedding coordinator from Direct MY Day for our wedding this past weekend and she was such a life saver. She went above and beyond to make sure that we were stress free. She was very responsive, helpful and organized. Once she took over, we really didn't have to do anything. She took care of everything. It was so awesome! She knew exactly what to do and created a very helpful timeline for the day of the wedding. She took the initiative to do everything she can so that we were able to enjoy the wedding and the wedding process. She contacted all my vendors to make sure they knew exactly what was going on and made sure they were there on time. The night before the wedding, I emailed her at around 1:00 am and she responded within 15 minutes. She was always available for us. Our wedding was perfect and everything was so well organized thanks to Saneta and her staff. If you're look for a wedding coordinator, Saneta is the way to go. You can thank me later! read more

Saneta and team played a very significant role in the coordinating and execution of our wedding day this past October. Once we signed the lease for the venue and met with Saneta, it was clear that we would be paying for her services. Direct My Day allowed for us to worry less about the execution of the very specific details on our wedding day. She and her team were instrumental in the success of our day by ensuring that we were always in the right position at the right place time at the right time. They ensured that the vendors fulfilled their contractural agreements and allowed for us to enjoy ourselves. Saneta took the time to understand our needs and expectations and did a wonderful job of following up when clarity was needed. In addition, it felt like having a friend helping you through the entire process as we never felt like clients. She is sincere and genuine and kept our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. Simply having Direct My Day as a resource was the best decision we made regarding the planning of the wedding and I would highly recommend their services! Thank you, Saneta, for all of your help and support and we appreciate the work of you and your team! read more

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Canyon View on Sept 10, 2016. Saneta was AMAZING! We loved working with her and all our guests said they'd never been to wedding that flowed so nicely. Everything was very organized and right on time. Saneta was able to fit everything we requested into the schedule and still leave lots of time for dancing! My husband and i didn't stress about a thing and just sat back and enjoyed the night! I imagined running around and not having any time to enjoy myself but thanks to Saneta that was not the case. We had so much fun and have nothing but great memories about our wedding day! read more

My sister got married at Canyon View on June 13th, 2015 and Saneta was our wedding coordinator. She was on top of everything! Unfortunately, we had gone with an outside vendor for the florist and the florist not only was an hour and half late, but she had nothing done when she arrived and despite the ridiculous professionalism of the florist, Saneta was helping me run back and forth actually helping the florist get bouquets and boutonnieres out and on the wedding party. She was very professional and was more than willing to help us with anything that we needed to make things go smoothly. My sister was getting nervous, because of the florist and when she would ask Saneta what the status was she calmly, let my sister know that everything was fine and everything was getting done. She knew how to talk to the very nervous Bride and Groom.. Since I was the Matron of Honor, I was running around trying to make sure that everything was going smoothly too, but Saneta definitely helped make my MOH responsibilities so much easier and less nerve racking.. Thank you Saneta and Direct My Day for making my little sisters wedding the most memorable day of her life!! read more

We had our reception this weekend at Canyon View and had Saneta and Vanessa as our Day of Coordinators and they were freakin amazing!! I can't say enough about how greatly I appreciate them putting together everything for us!! Saneta has been an absolute pleasure to work with from touring and booking 14 months ago, to our final meeting, to drop off two days before our event and then to our wedding day! She's responsive, organized and overall just too sweet! I even asked Saneta and Vanessa to put together our donut bar for us and they executed it above my expectations. It can be extremely overwhelming in the moment and I love how Saneta and Vanessa are cool, calm and collected. I actually didn't know of many hiccups day of my reception until a few days later because Saneta and Vanessa took care of everything before I even noticed. Lol. I would definitely recommend both of them!!! Thanks again you two! Mark and I had a blast and appreciate you both for helping make our day so amazing!! read more
