Rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all approach, Will took the time to understand our individual preferences and the dynamics of our relationship. He helped craft a wedding experience that was not only stunning but authentically represented who we are as a couple. Will seamlessly integrated elements that celebrated love in all its forms, making our wedding day truly special. Beyond planning our wedding, Will acted as a subtle advocate for inclusivity within the wedding industry. His commitment to creating an inclusive environment extended beyond our specific event, fostering an atmosphere where all couples, regardless of gender or orientation, could feel seen and celebrated.

Will and Rhania were amazing, and we couldn't have asked for a better day-of coordinator team for our wedding. From start to finish, they were incredibly organized, attentive, and supportive, making sure everything went off without a hitch. They asked all the right questions during planning, helped us arrange our timeline, and genuinely made us feel like they cared about our event. They arrived early to assist in arranging decor, coordinating with vendors, and making sure all details were perfectly executed. They took charge, so we didn't have to worry about a thing! During the event, they kept everything on schedule, seamlessly managing transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. At the end of the night, they were also incredibly helpful during the teardown process, packing everything up efficiently and ensuring that nothing was left behind. We had to be out of the venue earlier than we had originally anticipated the next day, and they even returned in the morning to help with loading out into our cargo truck and getting the venue turned around for their Sunday event! Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond truly relieved so much stress, allowing us to focus on enjoying the weekend with our guests. If you're looking for a coordinator who will treat your event like their own, this is the team you want. Their professionalism, warmth, and hard work made all the difference. Highly recommended! read more

If like us, you are on the search for a coordinator for your wedding, STOP LOOKING. The whole team we worked with at Don't Mess With The Bride are true professionals. Throughout the whole process, Will was fantastic, giving us suggestions on where to do our rehearsal (the location he recommended was perfect), giving us advice on timeline, and respectful input that made the decision making process so easy. Having someone we could trust was a game changer during planning the small details we hadn't thought of yet. On the day of, Melissa and Wendy were our coordinators and to say they did an absolutely wonderful job is an understatement. Not only were they so easy and down to earth to deal with, they treated all of our guests with kindness and patience while making sure the day ran smoothly for us (which they executed perfectly and seamlessly). They went so far above and beyond from taking our plain cake that I wasn't planning on doing anything with and decorating it with some of our flowers making it look professionally decorated to setting decor on the chairs and arch that just blew me away. If you are looking for a supportive team of down to earth professionals that will take so much of the pressure off of you leading up to and on your day, then Don't Mess With The Bride is it! I couldn't imagine having chose a better coordinator. read more

We are so grateful to have worked with Will and Melissa for our May wedding! Despite the stress that comes with wedding planning, they streamlined the entire process, making it feel both manageable and fun. They kept us at ease by responding to emails quickly, providing excellent vendor recommendations, and even offering a sound system for rent. On the day itself, Melissa made the experience truly magical. She handled everything behind the scenes, from setting up decor and capturing candid photos to ensuring we stayed fed and hydrated, all with a warm smile. She even managed our guest book and packed up our belongings at the end of the night so we could simply enjoy the moment. The peace of mind Melissa provided turned our wedding into a dream, and I would highly recommend DMWTB to anyone getting married! read more

Will and Sonya were a pleasure to work with. We did the vast majority of our coordination work with Will, who provided a scheduling website that tracked all details of the wedding (timeline, responsibilities, contact info of vendors and helpers, etc.) Will also had helpful advice on the timing of the day, ceremony details, cocktail hour duration, etc. Sonya was our day-of coordinator and was also a joy to work with. She helped with decor even though we hadn't paid for her to do so, and she ran a really smooth ceremony rehearsal. Her personality and kept things fun and lively. There was a small snafoo with one of our vendors and she contacted the right people in our group to ensure we were able to communicate out important info to the whole guest list. Thanks DMWTB team! read more

I am so thankful we decided to use Will for our wedding. During the planning process he communicated well, and provided a lot of valuable advice. We splurged and had him and his team decorate which was 100% worth it since we didn't have access to our venue until the morning of. We were able to enjoy the morning of the wedding without stressing about decor. He also was so vital and helpful for day-of-coordinating!!! We honestly would have been so overwhelmed trying to make sure everything/everyone was on time. Because of Will we were able to be as present as possible on our day. He also made sure we ate and drank water. Will was 100% worth it, and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! read more

Our coordinator Melissa was absolutely incredible! They made the entire wedding process so smooth and stress-free, and I can honestly say my day went perfectly because of them. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and they worked so well with all of our vendors--every single one commented on how much they loved working with them. They were professional, organized, and so calm, which kept me at ease the whole time. From start to finish, I never had to worry about a thing, and that gave me the freedom to just enjoy every moment of the day. If you're looking for someone who will not only make your wedding beautiful but also make the experience effortless, I can't recommend them enough! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Don't Mess with the Bride! From start to finish, they were fantastic on the day of the wedding and truly made everything run seamlessly. If you're considering whether to hire help--do it. Even if you think you're a "do-it-yourself" bride (like I was), having the right support is what allows you to actually enjoy your big day instead of running around trying to do it all. We chose the package that fit our needs, and it was worth every penny. The peace of mind, organization, and professionalism they brought was unmatched. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, largely thanks to their team. read more

Will and his team made our wedding absolutely seamless! He thought of every detail, and was extremely thorough on every planning call, meeting, and the day of. We left each conversation feeling more prepared. The team was generous in their time, professionalism, and kindness at the wedding day. One of my favorite parts of the day was the team continually refreshing my drink without even asking! I felt like a true VIP - as if being the bride wasn't enough :) I am so grateful for their dedication to their work and for their special contribution to our day. I wholeheartedly recommend that you hire Will and DMWTB for your wedding!!! read more

DMWTB was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I live out in Illinois but wanted our wedding in Oregon since that is where most of our friends and family live. We used Will Eichelberger and HIGHLY recommend him. Even though we hired a day coordinator instead of a full planner, it still felt like he helped me with every step. We didn't have to do a single thing on the wedding day and were able to enjoy it to the fullest. read more
