A few years ago I started my own wedding planning business, on the side. I named my company "Day Of Events" because, unlike most of my competitors, I was a "day of" wedding consultant. Basically what that meant was, after the happy couple planned all their wedding details, I was the person, on the "day of" their wedding, who made sure that everything went smoothly. It was awesome. I am forever grateful for my two bestest friends who were there for me when I needed extra help.
It was hard at times since I would meet with my clients at night, or on the weekends, but - I loved it! I really enjoyed making people happy and being a part of such a significant day. Of course, some weddings were better than others, and some weddings were crazier than others... but I it was truly fun and I'm glad that I was able to meet some pretty awesome people.
When I had my son I realized that I couldn't continue this business. Every month I see the charge on my credit card bill for the fee for my company website, and every month I mean to call to cancel it. I will get around to it, eventually... but I must never forget the memories... Highlights from my website:

This is a special time to share with your closest family and friends. Let me handle the details on the day of your event so you can relax. You carry the bouquet and I'll carry the clipboard to ensure your special day is an enjoyable experience!
As your "day of" coordinator my function is to make your day as stress-free and smooth as possible. Together we will create a master "day of" schedule. It's so easy to lose track of time, I will keep your day organized and running smoothly.
My services are especially affordable because I am a coordinator hired for your wedding day alone. Once you've chosen your vendors I will direct the events of the day and make sure everyone around you is doing their job. Should any emergencies happen I will take care of them.
Although I would be hired for the "day of" event, I actually work on planning your day many hours before. Before you walk down the aisle we will meet several times to go over the details of your day so that I can ensure it's just as you imagine it.

I truly enjoy and love having the opportunity to work so closely with couples and their families during these happy times in their lives. I am always honored and privilged to be trusted with such an important day. It feels so good to make others happy - and even better when I receive wonderful words of appreciation!

"James and I wanted to thank you again for the fantastic work you did on our wedding! ...As you know, I don't like spending lavishly, and James and I had a pretty tight budget for the event. Nevertheless, you were able to show us that we could have a very elegant and affordable wedding by being selectively cost-conscious. Looking back, I only wish that I had agreed to follow more of your advice! Thanks to your help, suggestions and oversight, James and I had a beautiful, classical wedding."

"Floremy, thank you so much for being our 'guiding voice' during our special day!! You gave us the wonderful gift of reassurance that everyone in the bridal party knew where they had to be during a very exciting yet hectic time! Bobby and I will always appreciate the words of encouragement that you would tell us throughout the day; to us it showed that not only do you provide your services for the 'day of event', but that you also bring a genuine warmth to give to the people you work with that will be remembered much later. I have already been spreading the word of your services to my other friends who are getting married!!”

It was your organization, proactiveness and care that let Phil & I blissfully float through our special day and enjoy it - like every bride and groom should. You were able to gracefully corral our friends and relatives to all the right places, get them there on time, and it was your direction and eye that resulted in some of the most amazing wedding pictures that we have! To top it all of you were a BLAST! I had so much fun with you that day! Thanks again!"

Hey Lovely,
Until you launched this site, I didn't realize that your offer to help me with my wedding went above and beyond the usual request of "would you keep so and so away from me? he/she annoys me". But when I read your website those many moons ago, I thought to myself, "This is so her. She is the best person to lean on of you need help, she gets the job done--and does it great. On top of that, she knows how to throw a hell of a party. I'm glad she's getting paid for her talent! She deserves it!"
It's always bittersweet when something comes to an end in any form. But I have no doubt that your talents (and they are abundant) are going to pay you back in other glorious ways in the near future.
Sending you LOVE always!
