Introduction: Most wedding coordinators show up with a few bobby pins and some tissue for their emergency kit. I show up with a drill, hammer, duct tape, and a rope to keep everyone in line. We are prepared for flipped breakers and grumpy aunts- the others will just keep wrapping things in more toole, we take care of things and keep everyone happy! The best part about coordinating someone's wedding is watching them actually enjoy their day! Your wedding day is an amazing event. Why not sit back and enjoy it rather than stress out about that damn candle that won't light.

My partner and I had the privilege of working with Will as our wedding coordinator, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience he and his team provided. From day one, Will not only embraced our vision for the wedding but also celebrated the uniqueness of our love, making the entire journey unforgettable. One of the standout qualities of Will is his unwavering commitment to inclusivity. He made us feel not only welcome but truly celebrated as a same-sex couple. Will approached our wedding with an open mind, ensuring that every detail reflected our story and the love we share. Will demonstrated a deep understanding of the intricacies that may be unique to same-sex weddings. He approached every aspect of the planning process with respect and sensitivity, ensuring that our preferences were not only acknowledged but celebrated. It was evident that Will valued diversity and understood the importance of creating a wedding that was a true reflection of us. Rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all approach, Will took the time to understand our individual preferences and the dynamics of our relationship. He helped craft a wedding experience that was not only stunning but authentically represented who we are as a couple. Will seamlessly integrated elements that celebrated love in all its forms, making our wedding day truly special. Beyond planning our wedding, Will acted as a subtle advocate for inclusivity within the wedding industry. His commitment to creating an inclusive environment extended beyond our specific event, fostering an atmosphere where all couples, regardless of gender or orientation, could feel seen and celebrated. In conclusion, if you're searching for a planner who not only understands but wholeheartedly embraces the unique dynamics of same-sex weddings, look no further. Our wedding was a testament to Will's inclusive excellence, and we are forever grateful for the joy and comfort he brought to our special day.

Best money spent was with Don't Mess With The Bride because they deliver just that - no one messed with me or my love with any details to do with coordination of the wedding day. I couldn't have had a better wedding, everything was PERFECT - at least from my perspective and my guests. I learned later there were some hiccups that Will and Tom from Don't Mess With The Bride took care of yet during our event everything seemed to go off as planned. When I hired Don't Mess With The Bride I found much more help then expected. Will and Tom meet with me and went over all the details of my wedding. Let me say I was missing a lot. They helped me with details you don't find in books: like who is provides the napkins and then who folds them??? They were available for questions and support, which you will need! I love the company name because its what they do! Again of all the wedding expenses Will and Tom with Don't Mess With the Bride were worth their weight in gold!! I am so grateful to have found them!

Martine & Oke - we had such a great time at your wedding! Thanks for letting us be a part of it, and I hope the Estonian version goes off just as wonderfully!

Will did a spectacular job executing our day. He was able to take all of my crazy notes and drawings and turn it all into a cohesive game plan. His team executed wonderfully and worked their butts off until the day was done. They were quick on their feet in making decisions and left me and my family alone unless we were really needed (except to check-in periodically to make sure we had enough to drink). Pricing was great and availability for questions and meetings was plenty. Hire them!!

We could not have pulled off our wedding without Will and his team! We weren't sure if it was worth the investment to hire a DOC but hands down it is. Will displayed the utmost professionalism with his calm demeanor and ensuring everything went as smoothly as possible, going beyond the call at the end of the night to wrap things up. Things didn't go perfectly but I don't believe you can account and take care for everything with the magnitude of moving parts. During the planning phase, Will was very attentive to our vision of having a creative DIY wedding and guided us along the way without being forceful. Because Will has a full time job on the side, some things were not as detailed or prompt but this isn't an issue if you have a more relaxed personality but may be if you are full on Type A or a bridezilla. Thank you Will for bringing our crazy wedding to life - you rock!!

My husband and I hired Don't Mess With The Bride to help coordinate our wedding! We were very impressed by the DMWTB team and their willingness to jump in where help was needed as well as make our wedding a smooth event! Will is incredible and many wedding vendors complimented us on the professionalism of DMWTB and Will's communication. We would highly recommend using DMWTH to coordinate your wedding! :)

Helping friends - They'd ask, and I'd just hop in and cover the details for their special day. It made me realize how important it is to have a point person for their special day, and I just started doing it for other folks!
