“We worked with Ally as our wedding coordinator, and we couldn’t recommend her more! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, organized, and knowledgeable - especially when it came to our ceremony at the Jewel Box in Forest Park, which is known for having an extremely strict timeline. From the moment we booked the venue, Ally guided us through ceremony timing and logistics, putting our minds completely at ease knowing she would be running the show. Our rehearsal was efficient and perfectly organized thanks to her direction, and on our wedding day, she went above and beyond. As the venue coordinator, she was able to access the space early, set up all of our decor beautifully, and ensured that everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and we owe that to Ally’s calm, collected presence and attention to detail. She truly has an amazing eye for design and what looks best in a space.

“Rachel was *the biggest* gift to our wedding day. Throughout the entire planning, preparation, and coordination process she maintained clear and honest communication, organization, and style I never had a single doubt that we weren’t on the same page with the vision of the day. Showing up to the venue the day of our wedding, seeing how perfectly she executed our vision, was like a deep breath for all the cells in my body. Rachel was consistently on board with all of the small silly details we insisted on, and centered our priorities to ensure we didn’t exhaust ourselves with things that didn’t matter. Having her aware and gracefully reactive to all of our needs, my parents needs, and the needs of our guests, lifted so much potential stress and allowed us, and especially our parents, to relax and enjoy the day.

“A moment of silence for one of the best coordinators any bride could ever hope to have. I reached out to Marissa in June 2025, a full year before our wedding, and from day one she became so much more than a coordinator. She was my sounding board, my cheerleader, my voice of reason, and my calm whenever wedding planning felt overwhelming. No matter how busy she was, she always made time for me. Every question, every meeting, every last-minute thought—I never once felt like a burden. One of the best decisions we made was adding her setup and tear-down package. Brides, if you’re considering it, DO IT. After your wedding, you will be exhausted. Your parents will be exhausted. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours packing decor, organizing personal items, and figuring out where everything goes. Marissa handled it all. My family and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything was secured, organized, and ready for pickup the next day. That peace of mind alone was worth every penny. I am never the person who writes reviews, but Marissa deserves every ounce of recognition she receives. Throughout the planning process, she was there for every important milestone—our final walkthrough, rehearsal, vendor coordination, timeline creation, and all the countless details that go into making a wedding run smoothly. She created an incredibly detailed and personalized timeline that became the backbone of our day. Then June 7, 2026 arrived, and she absolutely proved why she is one of the best in the business. From the moment she arrived, she was in full wedding mode. Professional, organized, confident, and completely in control. She came dressed exactly as requested, equipped with an earpiece and constant communication with her assistant, ensuring every moving piece of the day was executed flawlessly. One of my biggest concerns was my processional music. I had very specific timing requests—I wanted each bridesmaid to walk at certain moments in the song so the chorus would hit perfectly when I walked down the aisle. I genuinely thought I was asking for the impossible. Not for Marissa. She had her assistant stationed with the DJ, communicated every cue perfectly, and somehow made everything happen down to the second. It was exactly as I envisioned it. The entire evening, she was always within eyesight. Every time I looked around, she was there making sure everything was running smoothly, coordinating vendors, keeping everyone on schedule, and putting out fires that I didn’t even know existed. Because of her, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of my wedding day. That’s what makes Marissa special. She memorizes your vision. She knows where every detail belongs. She anticipates problems before they happen. She makes an incredibly difficult job look effortless. For the past year, she has shown me nothing but kindness, grace, professionalism, dependability, and genuine care. She loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. And brides, let’s talk about pricing for a second. It is so easy to assume that the most expensive coordinator must be the best. I can confidently tell you that is not true. Marissa delivers a level of service that far exceeds her pricing. The value she provides is honestly unmatched. I will forever be grateful that she was part of our wedding day. If you’re lucky enough to have Honey Hollow Events available for your date, book her immediately. She will make your wedding better. Period.”

That experience turned into a passion and The Day Of STL was born. Madison now brings that same energy and attention to detail to every couple she works with.

“I hired Madison as our day of coordinator due to feeling stressed about other people in my world "working" during my wedding day instead of enjoying it. Madison made sure with her whole heart that this did not happen. She took care of everything and many things we were not thinking of. She handed out NYE celebration supplies when I did not think to do that (just for the photo booth), made sure I stayed on schedule (my other biggest stress), and even found my grandmother a handicapped accessible bathroom. And most importantly, my family and friends were able to enjoy our wedding day completely. She took care of setting up, taking down and everything in between.

“Someone recently called me an "Enchanted Fairy" bride--likely because of my tulle skirt and woodsy wedding. Well, if that was the case, then Catherine was my Fairy Godmother. It has been a few weeks since the wedding, and every time anybody talks about it (MOB, MOH, Groom, etc.), we always mention Catherine and a job well done. She was extremely organized and professional... A calm and collected creative expert. When we had to devise a rain plan, she provided insights and solutions. When we had to execute said rain plan, she delivered. She helped with set up, decoration, timeline management, vendor management, guest experience, and more!

“Kari was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding on July 18, 2024 in Colorado Springs. From the moment we first reached out, her communication style was communicative, friendly, and she was an excellent listener as we shared our vision. The quality of her work and value was truly above and beyond. She was incredibly professional, courteous, and ensured every detail was accounted for, from making sure we didn't forget any payments or gratuities to making sure we took time to eat on the big day. Her and her assistant made us feel so supported throughout the entire process, and we couldn't be happier with the 5-star service they provided. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding!”
