Wow, where do I even start?! My husband Joseph and I wanted to save as much money as we could, but…read morewe 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!

This review is for Jackie and she really deserves 10 out of 5 stars if that were possible. She was…read morephenomenal 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.

From the moment we first spoke, I felt an immediate connection -- I remember getting off the call and turning to my partner like, "How do I secure her right now?"

Throughout the planning process, Jacqueline brought such a grounding, joyful energy that made everything feel less overwhelming and so much more fun. She helped turn what could've been stressful moments into smooth, manageable ones -- and she did it all with so much care, calm, and heart. Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and the professionalism of her team were above and beyond. On the wedding day, her team was everywhere they needed to be without us even noticing -- checking in, helping family, managing transitions, and just making everything flow beautifully behind the scenes. We've heard from so many guests how seamless and meaningful the day felt, and we know that's in large part because of the TLE team. They truly went above and beyond for us, and we'll forever be grateful to their team for making one of the most important days of our lives so incredibly special!! -Maria and Angel

My husband was living out of state (military), I was working full-time and it just felt like mission impossible to pull off a wedding for ~180 guests in 4 months. Amanda's attention-to-detail, thoughtful plans, and caring demeanor made us feel at-ease through every step and most importantly, on the day of the wedding. We were able to enjoy our perfect wedding day because Made to Love Events took care of everything else, so we actually have no clue what issues may have arose, if any. It was important to Amanda that we got our dream wedding, so she was able to secure the location that met each desire: along the water, outdoors, and could fit all of our guests! Thank you Made to Love Events for making our wedding dreams come true!!!
