My husband and I got engaged on Christmas Eve 2022 and planned our wedding for 11/11/23. Most of our wedding was DIY so we were nervous that our venue would not be flexible enough to set up most of our decor. After research, we found BOTB and scheduled a call to find out more about them and how they could help us. After the initial call, I knew that I needed to have them there on our wedding day. Darah made me feel like I would have nothing to worry about on the day of the wedding. October 2023 came around and we had our final call to go over the timeline and all details of the wedding. We ended the call with me feeling an enormous sense of relief that my two coordinators would handle anything and everything on the day of.

The day of the wedding, everything was executed to perfection by BOTB and everything we envisioned came to life. They were there from beginning to end and handled my dress mishap with ease and I knew that having them there meant that I had nothing to worry about. The decor was set up exactly how we wanted and they went above and beyond to make sure that what we wanted was done.

All in all, I think that out of all the vendors, having BOTB on our team was the BEST decision we could have made. None of my bridal party or family had to worry about anything because the girls took care of everything. If I could give a million stars I would.

If you book BOTB for your wedding day, you WONT regret it.

There are no words to thank Darah and team enough for making our wedding day the most amazing, and unforgettable day ever. THANK YOU!

• Michele R.

Darah I just want to say thank you so much for everything you did last night. It meant the absolute world to us. I am getting choked up even writing this message, we would be absolutely lost yesterday without you guys. I can’t thank you enough for literally embracing me hugging me, and letting me sob in your arms over the medical emergencies that took place at the wedding. You're truly such a sweetheart with the biggest heart ever and please send my love and thank you to Cait as well. She was absolutely amazing. Nick and I will never ever forget what you did for us last night and we will always always recommend you guys to everybody for BOTB. You guys are the bomb and I love you and we will be in touch soon and thank you so much for all the pictures and videos are gorgeous. We’ve been looking at them smiling laughing all Day. It’s actually been the highlight of our morning and we’re so happy we have those memories right away from you we love you guys!! OUR DAY WAS AMAZING BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP!

Words cannot describe how Alexa took our perfect day, and made it even more perfect. While her content speaks for itself (incredible in every way), it's the happiness, support and attention to detail that she brings to the day that is unmatched. Alexa is prompt, professional and the breath of fresh air, all brides need. She not only made sure I had everything I needed (way outside of content) but also she continued to watch after my groom too. By the time I woke up the next morning, Alexa had a large google doc for me, capturing all the little moments photographers don't have the time or capacity to.

There's no question- book Alexa!

I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible wedding planner for my special day, and I cannot recommend Darah from Bring On the Brides enough! From start to finish, Darah’s attention to detail, professionalism, and expertise were truly outstanding. Darah’s exceptional vendor connections and she helped us secure top-notch services within our budget. She and the team handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the day without any stress or worries. Darah’s chill and friendly demeanor made it a joy to work with her. She was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns promptly. Her genuine enthusiasm and passion for her work truly shone through, making the planning process enjoyable and exciting. I genuinely feel like I was planning everything with a friend the whole time! On the day of the wedding, everything was orchestrated everything flawlessly. From coordinating the ceremony and reception to managing the timeline and ensuring all vendors were in sync, BOTB truly exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond to create a magical and unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Thank you Darah and the BOTB team!! We will forever cherish the memories of the dreams you helped us to manifest into our reality.

Bring On The Brides were total game changers for my wedding day! 2 months before my wedding I panicked and realized I need help for the big day, and after my first call with Gabrielle, I knew everything was going to be smooth from there on. Leading up to the wedding, Gabrielle and Darah were available for all of my questions, always checked in to see how they could help, and would just let me think out loud when trying to describe my vision. They were supportive, detail-oriented, and excited to ensure my dream wedding came to life. Bring On The Brides were my day-of coordinators and from the moment they arrived, I felt calmer and instantly in trusting hands. They were prepared for everything (and more) for the day and were so personable and fun to be around! From making sure I was drinking water throughout the day, to helping me move from location to location for photos, to fixing my veil for every picture, to making sure all my stuff was safely moved to the honeymoon suite Darah and her team were absolutely fabulous every second of the day. They were so important in helping my wedding run perfectly and allowing me to be present in all the festivities! I never thought I needed a day-of coordinator, but looking back, I could never imagine my day (or the weeks leading up to it) without the Bring On The Brides team! I could not recommend the ladies enough!

• Isabelle G.

My only regret from my wedding planning is not hiring Bring on the Brides sooner! Darah and the team were an absolute dream to work with! Since we live outside of the LI area, we added the partial planning to our day of coordination package. My husband and I were confident in Darah and her team’s ability to make sure our day was perfect.

Partial Planning: We had BOTB find/hire MUA, Hair, Late night snack, florals, and transportation. Knowing that the vendors Darah recommended have been vetted by her and her team was a comfort needed during the planning process. If I had a question Darah was quick to respond and address my questions.

Day Of Coordination: what really sold my husband and I on BOTB was that you would have 2 coordinators on the day of your wedding. We had been attendees at weddings with and without a DOC and you could tell the difference. Darah and Christine were my coordinators on the day of our wedding. They were nothing but a dream, from starting their day at our venue to meeting us at Old Westbury Gardens for pictures, and doing a last-minute drug store run before the ceremony I can not thank them enough. Darah and Christine were by our sides the entire day and when they weren’t they were working with our venue/vendors ensuring we had the perfect day. We owe all the magic to BOTB. We did not have any stress on our wedding day, it was absolutely perfect. Darah and Christine were on top of everything and in coordination with BYC to make it perfect. My husband and I have very busy work lives and we were unable to finalize the details till the day of our wedding. All parties were able to execute on very short notice. Our guests still rave about how well-organized and on top of everything Darah, Christine, Eric, and the Team were. We have remained in contact with Darah and cannot recommend BOTB enough!

• Nicole L.

I literally cannot recommend them enough! I started having a lot of anxiety in the weeks leading up to my wedding and by the grace of god found this incredible team of attentive and easy to work with professionals who were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule. I had a 500 person wedding and they somehow managed to coordinate everything with my vendors seamlessly although I was scared I brought them on late into the process. They truly alleviated all my stress leading up to the wedding and even more so the day of. I have no idea what I would’ve done without these ladies. At the end of it all, Bring On The Brides all felt like family to us. If you’re in need of coordinators/planners please look no further.

• Josephine P.

I hired Bring On The Brides 3 months before my wedding to assist with final planning, event design, and day of coordination and I am so happy I did! They were easy to work with, listened to my vision and helped me work through any vendor issues that arose. They were great to communicate with and were always available to chat and answer my questions. All in all, just fantastic! They made my wedding day, which had a lot of moving parts and different locations, run smoothly and without any hiccups. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better team to be with us that day. Even my parents were raving about them the next day after seeing how much they helped everyone throughout the day. If you're looking for a day of coordinators/planners, go with Bring On The Brides!

• Hailey T.

My fiancé and I hired Bring On The Brides for full service wedding planning immediately after our first call with them. Their energy and ideas alone sold us. Starting with our venue search, these girls worked tirelessly to find our perfect venue within our budget. I was adamant that I wanted a rustic vibe and not a cookie cutter catering hall wedding and my god did they deliver! They found us all of our vendors, including an amazing photographer who did the most beautiful engagement shoot and a band with amazing reviews also within our budget! Not only have they been amazing running down the checklist of everything for my wedding.. they are truly like having friends. I have a very type A personality and am a bit of a control freak.. they have been amazing settling me through every anxiety attack I have. I have started calling them my fairy godmothers because there is nothing these ladies can’t make happen for me.

• Samantha H.

You know Bring On The Brides were exceptional with planning and coordinating our wedding when one of the first things my husband said the next morning was "Those girls were amazing I wish we had more events to hire them for!" (My Matron of Honor and Mom said the exact same thing). I know people may think of Planner/Coordinators as an "optional expense" but you spend all this money on a wedding, this small amount is what you pay to actually enjoy your day! From start to finish they were amazing. I hired them later in my planning process but they were still extremely helpful, thoughtful, and detail oriented with the final vendors I needed and getting everything ready for the big day. I felt comfortable explaining rocky family situations (which they were so kind to help keep an eye on through the day and make sure everything ran smoothly) and they even sent a bunch of pictures and boomerangs they had taken so I had some photos immediately after the wedding. When I forgot to pack an adapter for our custom neon sign, they ran to Best Buy before we even arrived at the venue to grab what we needed to make it right. That's not something a venue maitre d’ would have, or could have done. Bring On The Brides, I cannot thank them, or recommend them enough!

• Jade F.

Bring On The Brides were my Day of Coordinators, they were also my Wedding Planners and I can not thank them enough for the beautiful day they gave me. From morning until night they were on top of everything and if there was a problem I can say with no doubt that I had no idea about it. They KILLED it!!! Every moment I needed one of them it’s like they had a sixth sense and they were there in a blink of an eye and solved any problem I had or got me anything I needed. One of them was with me before the photographers showed up and was with me until I got on the bus to go to the ceremony, the other was setting up my venue. They were there the entire event making sure everything was going according to plan and we were remaining on schedule. I could not thank them enough for the beautiful stress free day they gave me. Five stars isn’t even enough because they deserve so much more

• Jess D.

We hired Bring on the Brides to help with our backyard wedding and would definitely recommend to a friend. They were always available and helped me put together a beautiful wedding.

• Christina L.

Cannot recommend BOTB more! When we hired them as our day or coordinators for our October 2023 wedding, Darah told us “things will go wrong on your wedding day, but it’s our job for you not to know and just have fun.” They definitely delivered! I’m usually a type A, need to have a pulse on everything type of person, but I actually felt like I could relax with them taking the lead and just be present to enjoy the day. They even helped us move our entire ceremony outside in less than 10 min when the endless NYC rain finally let up. Overall, our wedding ended up being beyond what we could have imagined and having Darah & team there to manage the details really meant we got to enjoy it in full. & for that we’re so grateful!

• Kaylee R.

We chose to work with BOTB for full wedding planning and day of coordination immediately after our first phone call consultation with Darah. Darah & her team got to work planning right away and were readily available throughout the whole entire process. She helped make suggestions and really was able to capture the vibe of what we wanted. Her vendor recommendations were in our budget range and were amazing. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Everything was managed by her and her amazing staff to perfection. She ensured that every detail huge and tiny were perfect. She never left my side the day of my wedding even helping me get into my dress and touching up my lipstick all night. Darah and her staff were super accommodating and catered to all our many requests and needs. We truly could not have done this without her !!!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Darah if you are looking for a memorable, wonderful worry-free wedding.

• Nancy P.

I chose to work with BOTB after my consultation call with Darah. I really connected with her on a personal level, and in comparison to other vendors I talked to, it just felt like she cared about making our day special for us! Even expecting her to be amazing after our interactions, I was still impressed on the day of. She jumps in and fills in wherever you need in that moment - is your bestie in the bathroom but you need someone to help you change right now? She's there. Do you need to boss people around but don't feel like being confrontational on your day? She's got you. Darah and Savanah also assisted our photographer the whole time while also somehow setting up all of our decor which was 100% DIY. They even laughed with us and snapped photos of us on our way out to the after-party. It's been a couple of months since our wedding and our friends and family are still talking about how wonderful they were and asked if we could hire them for more events lol we highly recommend them!

• Nikki P.

Darah and her team guided us through the entire wedding planning process and always made sure we were taken care of. Her expertise and vendor connections allowed us to have a perfect wedding that far exceeded our wildest dreams.

• Brian Z.

“Thank god for these ladies! From our first call i knew they were perfect to help make our special day perfect! They helped with literally every step of our planning process. Can’t recommend them enough!”

• Kristin S.

I cannot say enough great things about BOTB! I was looking for a wedding planner and felt like everyone I talked to were too expensive and their pricing model incentivized them to just book more expensive vendors (i.e. they took a % cut from any contracts signed). The planner my venue suggested had planned hundreds of weddings there and wasn't very creative (she reused the same playbook). THEN CAME BRING ON THE BRIDES! I immediately clicked with the BOTB team from the very first call. These women are phenomenal! They have taken care of all of my vendors and finding me great options while staying within my budget. I love their style and truly felt like I was planning my wedding with friends who are also professionals in the industry. Darah & Cait are really wonderful to work with, really flexible with adjusting to my own style/circumstance, and fun! I would highly recommend working with BOTB before they book up!

• Nicoline B.

Darah, Caitlin, & Sophie were absolutely amazing! They were helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process & made the day of seamless. We had absolutely no hiccups it was actually amazing. I highly recommend bring on the brides for your special day!

• Angelina O.

Bring On The Brides is exactly what every bride and groom need for their wedding day! I felt stress-free the day of my wedding and I attribute most of that to Darah and Savanah! No detail was missed! The girls were absolutely fantastic, made sure that all my questions and concerns were fulfilled. They even had a sewing kit for when a flower fell off my dress! The best part for me was not having to ever know what time it was and never stressing about the itinerary because I had the BOTB team making sure we were on schedule all day!

At the end of the night Darah sent me a bunch of videos she captured (without me even realizing) during vital moments of our wedding which was SO exciting to watch.

I HIGHLY recommend BOTB if you want good communication, professionalism, and a team that will ensure you're doing the least on your special day.

I was the bride that never thought they would need any type of wedding planner- my mom and I are super organized, were proactive during the early stages of planning and felt like we were on top of everything. Nevertheless, I could not have been more wrong!

I was introduced to these two angels about five months before my wedding and thankfully just in time. Before I even hired Bring on the Brides, Darah was reaching out to me with suggestions and were already helping me without me even asking. This was truly telling to me because it showed me that they really cared and wanted to help. This is one of the many aspects that sets Bring on the Brides apart from other coordinators and wedding vendors- they are not in it for the money. These ladies have a passion and talent for wedding planning and it SHOWS.

Another aspect that sets Bring on the Brides apart is that I not only instantly liked them but I ADORED them in the end. Let’s be honest, a lot of times we find wedding vendors very friendly at first, especially before you sign the contract and put down your deposit. Time goes on and you find that the honeymoon phase is over and your super friendly vendor has now been ghosting you for six weeks, has zero interest in the inspiration pictures you sent them or just completely drops the ball in the end. Darah started out as my day of coordinators and ended up as my friends. These two ladies were with my husband and me every step of the way supporting us. Their communication was excellent and they were extremely proactive. I seriously thought they could read my mind half the time because I would no sooner reach out to them with a question to find that they already thought about the same thing and handled it. By the time it was the week of my wedding they provided me with a minute by minute timeline for the day of my wedding. On the day of my wedding they were on their A+++++++++ game! No matter what was thrown their way, like my venue claiming 45 minutes before start time that they were missing half of the seating cards, these two were ON IT! Anything and everything my husband and I could have needed on that day they handled professionally. They helped me getting ready, posed me for pictures, took the most stunning behind the scenes pictures and all while coordinating literally everything else. Most importantly, there was not a single thing that myself, my husband, our families or our bridal party had to worry about- we seriously had the most stress free wedding day and all thanks to Bring on the Brides. They far exceeded my expectations.

Brides- There are so many last minute and day of emergencies that you personally should not be dealing with and need to leave to the professionals. For example, two days before my wedding I picked up my fur shawl that I planned to wear for pictures from the dry cleaners and brought it home to find that it was destroyed. Naturally, I am in full blown panic mode. I immediately texted Gabrielle and Darah, along with my mom and maid of honor. I kid you not, within a matter of five minutes my

Coordinators answered that they knew a bridal shop where they can get me a new one. Two more minutes go by and in my inbox are pictures of eight white fur shawls for me to choose from to be picked up the next day and brought to me. You can’t make this stuff up ladies these two are seriously THE BEST. 

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bring on the Brides. They made my whole wedding experience not just for me but for my family, bridesmaids and most importantly my husband. Here’s what he said: “Having Bring On The Brides as our day of coordinators felt like having two friends work with you on planning your dream wedding. I seriously felt that they were just as excited about our wedding as I was and it meant the world to me and my now wife in the midst of wedding chaos.”
