Our day went so smoothly thanks to the Just Say Yes team!! We went with them for 2 month coordination as they were a preferred vendor from our venue and we couldn't be more pleased! Andrea, our coordinator, was exceptional throughout the whole process and handled the wedding day with such ease and grace. For anything that went wrong, she handled it so well that I didn't even notice until afterwards. We also went with Just Say Yes florals and Kiara did such an amazing job! Not only did everything look beautiful, but it was so easy to coordinate since they all work together. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Working with Raquel and Kiara from Just Say Yes was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. I hired them for 2-month coordination and was blown away by their professionalism, organization, and warmth. Even though I planned my own wedding, I couldn’t have made it through the big day without them. Raquel stayed in close contact throughout, helped with vendor suggestions, and gave honest, helpful advice. On the day of, she and Kiara took charge, kept us on time, and ensured my husband and I were fed, relaxed, and enjoying every minute. They went above and beyond from start to finish and it was especially meaningful to support a small, local, minority-owned business. If you want to work with a coordination team you can trust completely, Just Say Yes is it.

We are so glad we hired Just Say Yes for our wedding coordination needs! Finding a wedding coordinator was one of the hardest vendor searches for us, but once we connected with Raquel for an initial call, we knew the search was over. Raquel is genuinely kind and knows the industry very well. She worked with us and our budget and gave us some resources to help with that stage of our planning. Connecting with Kiara a couple months out from the wedding was one of the best parts of planning. She helped us get those final details organized, thought of all the things we weren’t thinking about, and helped take some of the logistics off our plate. Her work in those months and the day of the wedding made it so that we didn’t have a single logistical worry on the day of the wedding. It was so great to be stress-free and to know that things were taken care of. Kiara’s attention to detail helped ensure that we and our guests had an absolutely wonderful day. Highly recommend!
You will be the guest at your wedding with Raquel!

Everybody needs a Raquel for their wedding! We had Raquel for 3 month coordination, and words alone cannot express how organized, professional, and seamless Raquel made the three months leading up to and on wedding day. Prior to the start of our coordination with Raquel, she provided us with a very organized, detailed spreadsheet to guide us through the wedding planning process. Raquel was the organization and detail behind every idea I brought to the table and helped to make our vision a reality! Raquel was my coordinator but doubled as my wedding therapist throughout the three months! Any wedding related question we had, Raquel was always there with a very thoughtful and speedy email response. Starting at 5pm the night before our wedding when she led us through our mini walk-through, to walking down the aisle, I felt completely reassured everything would go as smoothly as possible due to Raquel’s expertise! Raquel and her team are the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth that made our day feel seamless. Her team worked effortlessly behind the scenes on the day of our wedding (even running back to my apartment to pick up forgotten ceremony programs and doing so without me even knowing!). They worked their magic and allowed my husband and I to be the guests of honor rather than the hosts. I wouldn’t have made it through the final stretch of wedding planning without Raquel and her team. I highly recommend Raquel’s coordination; she made our day effortless and unforgettable! If you are lucky enough to have Raquel be a part of your wedding era, you will not regret it. Thank you for everything Raquel, we couldn’t have done it without you!
