At Your Service Weddings Day of Coordination Service

THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!!! Absolutely worth every penny and by far the best decision we made in our wedding planning!!! We originally looked into hiring someone to help set up and take down decorations and opted to go with Lora's Day of Coordination package for some added piece of mind. Lora was MUCH more than a "day of" coordinator. We met with her a few times and she got a perfect understanding of our vision. She answered all of our questions. She made several suggestions that we'd never have thought of (did you know you actually have to schedule in time for the groomsmen to get their bouts on?). She coordinated with the vendors to make sure the decorations were perfect. She helped with set-up and did all of the take down. She even dropped off our decorations and gifts at our home! We also got some of our decorations through Lora for a better price than through other vendors. Lora ran our rehearsal. I could go on and on. I can't imagine having had such a perfect day without Lora's help. The first thing any bride should do after getting engaged is contact At Your Service Weddings!!!!

We are so appreciative of all the work Lora and At Your Service Weddings did for our wedding day! They went above and beyond day-of coordination and were there with advice and guidance every step of the way. Most of all, the work on our wedding day was a lot and they made everything go smoothly and worry-free for my husband and me (despite a downpour and muddy ground!). When we lost our original reception site, Lora was immediately there to help us out in finding a new place. We were so thankful to have At Your Service Weddings to plan with us!

great!

When we first started planning our wedding we had just moved here and decided that it might be helpful to have a wedding planner that actually knows where to find what for which price, knows what to think about when planning and that would be there for the day of. Lora and At Your Service Weddings were the perfect pick for us because they are very flexible when it comes to coming up with a service package that meet your meets and your meets only which is helpful when you are running on a low budget. Since my husband and I had just moved here from Germany, basically starting over, things did not exactly go as planned and we had to push the wedding back a whole year, Not only was Lora always available to go over budgets, ideas, etc. via phone/email, but she was also flexible enough to move the date to the next year. We initially had planned on holding the reception in our backyard and when Lora and us first met, we went over all the costs, rentals, etc that would be needed to make it happen. It was EXTREMELY helpful to get the insight of someone who's job is to plan weddings. There are a million things that we wouldn't even have thought of! In the end, another blow of fate ate up quite the big amount of our wedding budget, just a month before the wedding. After all the moving dates around, being flexible with meeting, calls and emails, Lora offered us to let us out of the contract to help us still go through with the wedding as planned. Even though I wished that she could have been there for the big day to help, I am still extremely grateful for every word of advise that Lora provided us and can only recommend her services!!!!

HOURLY CONSULTATION- I researched and looked into several different planning companies, but all seemed to be very pricey- asking you to contract with them for thousands of dollars- only offering you consultation to sell their services or offering consulting at very high prices...I just couldn't do that, but I needed some help and guidance for this process because it seemed all too overwhelming- not to mention I was spending endless hours searching the internet, but not really knowing what was the best options for me...So I sought Lora for some help. Without a doubt or any hesitation- or solicitation, I know Lora is the SMARTEST DECISION I made throughout this whole process. I was able to set up times to meet and consult with her- I could ask any questions I wanted to help guide my planning- I never felt like she was trying to sell me any packages or deals- she really was present and attentive to learning about me, my budget, and my vision for my wedding. I continued to use her for her consulting services at different stages throughout my planning to help give me ideas, feedback, and guidance on the next stages... I very truthfully have saved countless hours and money through her support, experience, and expertise. There are just plain good people in this world, and Lora genuinely is one of them. I can't say enough good things Lora or her consulting.

There are truly not enough words to express my apprecaition to Lora and At your Service Weddings. When I started the planning for my wedding, I knew it was going to be a simple event, but based on my own personality and being a bit of a detail oriented person, I knew that I would stress the week before my wedding and onmy wedding day. Every day I stress about work and meetings and all the other things that need to be done and I knew that on my wedding day although my intentions were to relax and let go for once, I would be unable to do so. I talked with so many wedding planners and so many were jsut not "me". I am a simple girl and I am also not into "frills". My reaction to my first meeting with Lora was immediate - it had to be Lora that day!! Lora gave me great advice during the planingh process when needed, but she also never tried to tell me she didn't agree with an idea. She let me plan and then when it was time (by the way, it will be a day almost as wonderful as your wedding day) to turn everything over to Lora, I got to relax!! The week of the wedding every other bride I have known was stressed out about everything that needed to be done, but not me, I got to sleep in, pamper myself and enjoy my friends. My bridal party and my family had to do NOTHING but show up that day! My mother was so apprecaitive (and envied by her friends) by the fact that she didn't have to lift a finger. Everyone says they don't remember their wedding day, but let me tell you.....because of Lora, I remember every detail of my wedding and how great it was to just have fun!! You must work with Lora, you will not regret it. Aside from relaxing, you will no believe the small details that Lora took care of that I never even thought about. Plus, in the log run trust me, she will SAVE you money!! She has great tips about how and where to cut back that no one will notice, guidance on how to tip appropriately without overtipping etc. Please do not hesitate to ask Lora for a reference - I will talk with anyone who has a question about why Lora is worth every single penny (plus more)!!!!

As a groom I was a little unsure as to why we needed a wedding planner for even a small wedding until that day. My "now wife" tried so hard when planning to keep everything simple and "us", but I knew she was still stressing out with a very intense work schedule and being a total perfectionist. The week of the wedding I was nervous, but she was so relaxed once Lora took over, I have never seen her let anyone take control, but she trusted Lora and on the wedding day I got to see why. Our families were loving not doing aything and my wife had such a good time not having to do anything. Even when we decided that day we were changing our minds and needed to arrange a ride home, within no time, Lora had everything in place which totally floored me. We all enjoyed the day way more than I thought was possible thanks to Lora! Now I understand why my wife did this. Worth every penny we spent and would do it all over again!!

As a mother of the bride and the mother of 2 other daughters who have been married, I was of course prepared for a busy year and of course the standard "mother of the bride" duties which have always consisted of decorating, planning, running errands, the clean up afterwards (THE WORST) and basically not breathing until a few days after the wedding. When my daughter told me she hired a wedding planner I was a little surprised, this just didn't happen in my generation, that is a "mom's job"! Well, I thought, okay, they are paying for it, let them have their way. I was still confused until the day before the wedding. When I was able to go to work people were in shock that I was there with a wedding the next day and I was able to tell people... "my daughter has it taken care of, she told me to just relax..."! It was like they gave ME a gift of really truly enjoying my daughters day! I got to spend the morning relaxing, taking the time to do something for myself, I got to watch my daughter get changed into her wedding dress, take pictures, all of the things I missed at my other girls' weddings. That night, I was able to go home and not clean up a thing! My friends were so envious telling me it was almost like I was cheating, but that they couldn't believe the value in Lora when they saw everything that she did. I was so blown away by Lora's ability to "manage" my daughter who has always been my most "stubborn" at letting other people do things for her. I remember the week before the wedding, she was more relaxed than she had been all year and I can not tell you how many times we talked about how the planning went and no matter how many things she was excited for about her wedding, she still sticks to her guns that hiring Lora was the best decision she made. Being a mother of the bride who has been through it before, I AGREE with her 200%!! Lora was amazing, her professionalism, knowledge, sense of humor, patience and her "suitcase of EVERYTHING" was a sight I had never seen and will tell all my friends it is a MUST!!! Thank you Lora for letting me enjoy my daughters wedding!! It is because of you, I got to feel like an honored guest and not just "there for errands".
