My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

We hired Lilo Weddings as our coordinator in the lead up to our big day and it was such a great decision. From our first planning call, Jennette was organized, warm, and completely on top of every detail with a thorough shared spreadsheet with multiple tabs and templates we could fill in to keep *all* the logistics organized together. She also offers wedding decor (like card boxes, a customizable mirror, table numbers, etc.) and vetted vendor recommendations/discount perks. The weather forecast leading up to our wedding kept changing quite dramatically each day and Jennette helped us manage every contingency plan with the venue and vendors. She handled all email communications with all of our vendors with such a calm, professional, and positive attitude that we never felt stressed for even a second and always felt that she was advocating for us and our vision. On the day of, we were delighted to have both Jennette and Bobbie on site. They are a wonderfully complementary duo, who kept the timeline flowing seamlessly and made sure everyone knew where to go and everything looked incredible. Bobbie even helped with creating little booklets for our vows so they weren’t just stray pieces of paper—those types of little details kept the ceremony looking polished and intentional. Loved having this team by our side for our wedding—we highly recommend this team!

Combining my professional project management background with a passion for execution, I safeguard your energy so you can stay focused on the love rather than the labor. I don’t just coordinate the day; I protect your presence in it.

Genevieve and her team just finished working with my wife and I on our October 11th wedding. We used the Event Management package and are so happy we did! We spent the last year booking all of all vendors and working on all the fine details of decor, music, and signage etc. We started working with Days and Eves to help close all of the open gaps and work on the day of timeline. We thought we had all questions answered but we certainly did not! It was so helpful to have the team provide us with all of the schedules and guides to ensure that the day ran smoothly, for which it did! Everyone who was a part of the wedding knew what they needed to do and went to her or her assistant for questions. This allowed us to just be there and present. When we walked into the ceremony and reception, each time we were so blown away by how wonderful it looked! All of our items were placed perfectly to our guides and the restaurants additional items were worked in perfectly. Genevieve's schedule and suggested flow worked wonderful and we felt as relaxed (as possible). At the end of the night, she worked neatly to get all of our items so nicely packed and organized for us, which was much appreciated. We are so happy and grateful for Genevieve.

Before I met Katie, I truly thought I could be my own wedding planner. I had booked my venue and photographer and figured I could handle the rest. But once I dove into the world of wedding planning, I quickly realized how many details, moving parts, and potential stressors were involved. My biggest worry was that my venue had never hosted a wedding before, which felt daunting, and I was also nervous about managing vendors, timelines, and logistics while still trying to enjoy being engaged. Katie came highly recommended, and after just one phone call, I knew I needed her by my side. Her decade-plus of experience was immediately obvious - she knows exactly what to do, when to do it, what options to consider, what could go wrong, and how to handle everything seamlessly. After booking her, she recommended all of my remaining vendors (florist, cake, DJ, transportation, etc.), and every single one told me the same thing: “You’re in great hands with Katie. We’re not worried, she’ll tell us what to do and when.” Once I shared my vision with each vendor, I truly didn’t have to lift another finger. Katie handled all the technicalities and logistics directly with the vendors. She also completely alleviated my biggest concern, the new venue, through her excellent communication, organization, and confidence. We met monthly to touch base on what I had been working on and what I needed to work on next to stay on track, and I was never overwhelmed because she broke everything down in manageable parts and was always reachable with questions. On the wedding day, her team managed the timeline, directed people, coordinated vendor deliveries and setup, and even handled breakdown at the end of the night. When we realized we had forgotten some decorations at home, one of her team members literally went to our house to get them... that level of care is unmatched. My favorite part of my wedding day was being fully present and truly enjoying every moment without a single worry. It was a beautiful whirlwind, and because of Katie and her team, I was able to soak it all in. When people ask me if anything went wrong on my wedding day, they expect a story, but honestly, nothing did. The wedding day I envisioned would not have been possible without Katie and her team, and I am endlessly grateful that.

Welcome! I'm Ashley, a senior day-of coordinator and travel advisor with over a decade of experience turning complex wedding visions into completely stress-free realities. You've already done the hard work of planning your day. My job is to protect it, so on the one day it matters most, you're not the one managing vendors or chasing a timeline. My goal is to handle the logistics, timelines, and vendor wrangling so you can stay fully present for your most impactful moments.

If we could give Ashley Young more than five stars, we absolutely would. Hiring Ashley as our Day-of Coordinator was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Ashley wasn't just interested in checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to understand us, our vision, and what mattered most to us as a couple. She is an incredible listener, a phenomenal communicator, and someone who truly cares about the people she serves. Our wedding journey was filled with unexpected challenges, none of which were Ashley's doing. Every setback could have easily turned into a disaster, but Ashley never allowed us to feel alone. Instead of focusing on the problems, she always came prepared with thoughtful solutions and practical alternatives. She guided us through every obstacle with grace, professionalism, and an unwavering sense of calm. Then came what most couples would consider their worst nightmare—we had to change our wedding venue the week of our wedding. While we were trying to process the emotions that came with such a major change, Ashley immediately went to work. She coordinated with vendors, reorganized logistics, adjusted timelines, answered countless questions, and reassured us every step of the way. She never made us feel like we were asking too much, and she never once allowed the stress of the situation to become ours. Her confidence and experience gave us confidence when we needed it most. When our wedding day finally arrived, everything came together more beautifully than we could have imagined. It wasn't just a beautiful wedding—it was exactly what we needed it to be. There were heartfelt moments that brought tears to our eyes, joyful celebrations that filled the room with laughter, and countless memories that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Because Ashley handled everything behind the scenes so flawlessly, my husband and I were able to be completely present with each other, our family, and our friends instead of worrying about logistics. One of Ashley's greatest strengths is her ability to remain calm under pressure. Even when unexpected situations arise, she approaches everything with confidence, kindness, and professionalism. That calm presence extends to everyone around her and creates an atmosphere where you can truly enjoy your wedding day. What makes Ashley exceptional, however, isn't just her organization or attention to detail—it's her heart. She genuinely celebrates with her couples. She becomes invested in their happiness and goes above and beyond because she truly loves what she does. You can feel that in every interaction. Ashley gave us so much more than coordination. She gave us peace of mind. She gave us confidence during one of the most stressful weeks of our lives. Most importantly, she gave us the freedom to fully experience one of the greatest days of our lives without worrying about everything happening behind the scenes. Ashley will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. She is no longer someone we hired for our wedding—she is family. To any couple considering Ashley: don't hesitate. Book her. Trust her. Listen to her. She will advocate for you, support you, celebrate with you, and make sure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of—and maybe even more. Ashley, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable. We will be forever grateful.

I've been in business since September of 2006. I've been a bride, bridesmaid, maid of honor and a mother of the groom. I have experience from those different perspectives and therefore I can see and hear the different sides to a wedding or event. I have literally been in their shoes. This helps me to help my clients in so many ways. I love all the details that go into every wedding. I love to put it all together and see the happy faces of my couples when it all does comes together. I am team YOU. It's your wedding, and I do my very best to make your day as stress-less as possible.

We hired Renee for coordination only. Then COVID happened. Our venue canceled on us and we then had to cancel our wedding. We had no idea what to do. Renee was there helping us figure it out. And, although this was unchartered waters for her too, she was so calm and got us through it. We are planning a new celebration hopefully in 2021, and so far we are so happy we hired Renee. We reviewed Renee on The Knot previously. Here is our update: Yes, we did replan our wedding and Renee was there every step. We had our wedding in October of 2021. Our wedding was small and intimate with all of our important family and friends. Renee is awesome and did such an amazing job organizing, planning and coordinating everything.
