Teresa was absolutely phenomenal to work with! I am a former wedding planner, so I really took care to find a great coordinator, and I found that in Best Friend Events. They went the extra mile in all aspects of coordinating and made sure the event was seamless! I even had guests asking if all of my vendors were from the same company (they weren't) but Teresa and her team definitely made it feel that way! If you are getting married soon, you can trust Teresa and Best Friend Events with making your big day absolutely perfect!

Teresa and her team were amazing! They were on top of everything all day! My family and I were truly able to enjoy every part of my wedding and not have to worry about a thing. They went above and beyond. I would recommend Teresa’s team to anyone who wants to have an stress-free and smooth wedding day experience.

I cannot understate just how much I enjoyed and value working with Best Friend Events for my wedding. Teresa (lead coordinator) and Wayne (assistant coordinator) were absolutely amazing to work with. They very professional, personable, and handled everything from the planning process to day-of execution. Teresa was always responsive to my requests and very proactive in overseeing all aspects of my wedding celebration. My wedding day would not run as smoothly and beautifully as it did without Teresa and Wayne. I give Best Friend Events my highest recommendation and strongly urge all brides to book them for their wedding planning and coordination needs.

Teresa anticipated our every need. She was always within reach and handled everything in a very professional and orderly way. My daughter (the Bride) was so impressed, and being that she and two other members of the Bridal Party have degrees in Restaurant and Hotel Management says a lot about Teresa’s work ethic! The reception was at a major downtown Hotel with approximately 300 guests, and Teresa was the one that worked the magic for our event! I interviewed three wedding planners, and Teresa by far was the most organized! I am so happy I chose her, and I would highly recommend her! We could not have been more pleased with her attention to every detail!

If you’ve never listened to advice in your entire life, listen to this one: get yourself a Day of Coordinator!!!! I never worried about anything once set-up was complete. “Magic” is the only word I can think of to describe it. I would come out of the get-ready room to make sure my signs and bud vases were placed, and not only were they placed- they were exactly where I wanted them to be. Now that I think of it, maybe she can read minds 🤔. Not only did she effortlessly get us through the rehearsal, she sewed my sleeve back on my dress, she went out and bought some last minute items she thought we may need, she cleaned and tidied, she took down all the decor and boxed it all up at the end of the night, not one vendor had to ask me a question, and the smoothness and perfection of the night was flawless. Most importantly, I would turn around and she would be handing me a black cherry White Claw with a smile on her face. Thank you Teresa and Crystal for honestly feeling like my best friends.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I like to have at least one Zoom or in-person meeting with my clients so I can get to know them and hear first-hand about their visions for their event.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I began in the event industry by assisting friends, as well as doing an internship. Whenever I was involved with planning and executing an event, I had so much excitement and joy with being a part of it. That is when I knew that I had to pursue it further.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Although you may be working with a budget, some coordinators are willing to be flexible with their pricing and also include discount packages with other vendors needed. In the end, it's more about the comfortability with the coordinator after meeting and the quality of service provided.
