Details Made Simple - Wedding Day Coordinator

I mainly hired a day-of wedding coordinator to figure out the timeline, and to make sure that I wasn't the one having to tell everyone where to go and when. April ended up doing SO much more, and handling much more than just the day of. My husband Jeff and I were married this past Saturday. April was in touch consistently from the time I hired her last summer. She talked me down off many ledges, and listened to me vent when I needed to! It was wonderful to know that the timeline was set, and that all the vendors were confirmed. The day of the wedding, everyone commented on how calm I was. That's because April took care of EVERYTHING, even things I wouldn't have ever thought of, and didn't know I needed. She even helped remind the pastor how the ceremony should go! I would highly recommend Details Made Simple if you want to truly enjoy your wedding day. We certainly did, and can't thank April enough!!

We were paired with Jess Z! She was GREAT! Beautiful person inside and out! She was prompt with emails and texts, very detailed with answers and information! She was great with recommending bakers, venues, caterers, etc! I don't know what we would have done if she was there with us the whole ride planning a wedding! More importantly what we would have done if she wasn't present at the wedding! It wasn't cheap but definitely worth the money!!!! Makes your life less stressful, great help from a professional, it was worth it all!!!!

Hiring Shadé Coleman from Details Made Simple was by far the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. About 3 months before our wedding, I was overwhelmed with finalizing the details of our big day. I researched day of coordinators on WeddingWire and the Knot and decided to contact Details Made Simple. Carla Friday, the owner, contacted me immediately, offering her assistance and reassuring me that her team of professionals would handle everything so we could enjoy time with each other and our family and friends. We had the pleasure of working with Shadé for our May 19, 2017 wedding at The Tides Estate. Shadé was amazing! She was personable and professional; I did not have to worry about a thing on the day of my wedding. My mom (who is very difficult to please) was impressed with her attention to detail and ability to stay calm under pressure. I highly Shadé Coleman (she was worth every penny!) and Details Made Simple; Shadé made everyone feel comfortable and kept our day on schedule and stress free as possible. - Tara (Werner) and Paul Quagliato

Carla was our day of coordinator but to be honest she was more than that. We booked her in February 2016 for our September wedding. From the day we booked, she did monthly check ins to see how things were going and what she could assist with. When time got closer, she was checking in every week. She also did a final confirmation with our vendors. She was always willing to lend a hand and her guidance. She came with me to our final walk through and knew the right questions to ask the venue. She truly made my vision come to life! She never felt like just a day of coordinator, she felt like more than that. She was someone by my side throughout the process and on the day of was very quick and efficient and thought on her feet! Our venue even agreed she was the best day of coordinator they have dealt with. Carla thank you so much for my making our wedding the day of our dreams!

Carla Friday is a life saver! I'm pretty sure our wedding would have been a disaster without her. Our venue went under new ownership, so that caused massive anxiety. She kept us calm through the changes. She constantly kept in contact with the new owners to ensure our day was successful. She was unnoticed by most guests. She made sure our ceremony was beautiful - paces timed out perfectly, entrances and exits beautiful, and made sure opportune photos were taken. She fixed a florist mistake and made a boutonniere in a couple of minutes with flowers from our altar piece. She made special arrangements for a guest with Celiac Disease so the guest could still enjoy the night. She set up all of our decorations at the venue and made sure they looked amazing! And I'm sure there are a ton of other things that she did but I was kept unaware of these issues. Which is great, but now I can't brag about how amazing she is! I am so so thankful for everything Carla did for us!! And my husband says "she's pretty cool."
