A day-of coordinator review...for the girl on a budget

I booked The Wedding Belles after realizing we were only given an hour of set-up time for our reception at Vintage Villas. Initially I had been sworn to no planner...why I am not sure, but I was trying to respect my FI's wishes, but after this we decided rather than stress, we'd hire someone to take care of setting up our centerpieces, and we'd just enjoy the day. Little did we know we were getting much more. Donna and her team were AMAZING. They worked diligently to make my vision (which embarrassingly enough came with numerous diagrams of where things belonged) a reality. At the rehearsal, I basically handed over everything I had for the wedding, and the next day everything was exactly how I wanted it to be. From the ceremony to the reception, the night was amazing and all I had to do was sit back and enjoy. Donna took care of everything from coordinating our vendors to bustling my dress to handing out sparklers for our departure. She was AMAZING!! Not even a week after my big event, I received 2 CDs withalmost 300 photos from the rehearsal, wedding, and reception. That was even faster than my family got my photos, and they were AWESOME pics. If you are looking for the best deal in wedding coordination...Donna cannot be beat.  She is truly worth every penny.

    This might be easier...

    Her name is Donna G. (I cannot pronounce or spell her last name) and her website is www.theweddingbelles.net. The website isn't all that fancy, but her work is amazing. We did the day-of-coordination, which included rehearsal, set-up, over 8-hours on the day-of, and clean up (not to mention all the photos). We paid around $400.

    Her email is: donna@theweddingbelles.net

    Tell her you got her information from Rebecca :)
