You Name It Events

I recently hired Leanne and her team over at YNI for my January 2016 wedding. You Name It offers a wide variety of services from full wedding coordination to day of coordination. You can really customize packages to suit your needs. I had an initial consultation with Leanne back in the spring. What struck me about her is how she actually seemed to care about us as a couple and the wedding we were trying to put together. We let her know what services we really cared about and she helped us pick out a package. I was looking for a day of coordinator to set up decorations for me, help me manage the timeline of the day and mitigate a last minute crisis if necessary. When we booked YNI, since we were the first wedding on that day, we were told that Leanne would be doing our wedding. Just as a note, if you are getting married during more popular times of the year, you may have a different lead coordinator.
After our initial consultation, we booked YNI for our day of coordination. After that, if I ever had any wedding questions, I was able to reach out to Leanne. About two months out, we scheduled an initial walkthrough of our wedding venue with Leanne. She pointed out a TON of things that we had forgotten about. Luckily she had us do this far enough out that we had plenty of time to figure everything out before the wedding day. About a month out, Leanne sent us paperwork to help us get organized for the day of the wedding. YNI has great templates to help you stay organized and see if you are missing any of the pieces (timeline template, vendor contacts, wedding contacts, etc). Then finally about two weeks out, we did a final details meeting and a final venue walkthrough.
Throughout the entire process, I felt that Leanne and her team were very organized and knowledgeable about the wedding industry. This is my first wedding so there were a lot of random, small wedding things I had questions about and Leanne always had the answer for me. On the day of the wedding, Leanne helped us keep on track while getting ready in the morning. She made sure the wedding ceremony went smoothly. After the ceremony, Leanne and her team went over to the venue and set up all our decorations for us (and there were a lot). She also made sure that all vendors were present and accounted for. When my bustle broke during the wedding, Leanne was right there to provide a solution. At the end of the night, Leanne helped pack and load up all the decorations as well.
Honestly, our wedding could not have gone any better. Leanne helped us get organized before the wedding and kept the day running smoothly. I was never bothered with anything during my wedding day and I can honestly say it was money very well spent. Hiring a day of coordinator was one of the best things that we did for our wedding and I highly recommend Leanne and the team at YNI.

Leanne is incredible. I don’t plan on getting married again, but I will absolutely hire her for any of my future event planning needs. Not only was she my rock during the whole planning process but especially during the week and day of! She was available, responsive and ready to run with any and all of my ideas. I thought the DIY thing was for me and (foolishly) attempted to make paper flowers for my reception. When it became clear that I am not as crafty as I would like to be (read: couldn’t make a paper flower to save my life) Leanne stepped in and crafted a hundred beautiful paper flowers that added a perfect pop of color to the reception. Needless to say she went above and beyond for me and my husband. We did not have a care or worry thanks to her and were able to fully enjoy our day.
Leanne, thank you so much for your kindness and warmth and for helping to make our wedding day all that we dreamed of.

I am honestly shocked at the one star review on here. Leanne was nothing short of amazing on the day of our wedding as our day of wedding coordinator.
I had filled out all of the paperwork that Leanne gave me so she had a good idea of what she needed to do the day of my wedding. She helped with set up, break down, and a million other things that I would have never even thought of on the day of my wedding. She magically appeared when you needed her, and hung back when things were going smoothly.
I would recommend her services to anyone.

From the moment we started working with Leanne six months before our wedding she simplified the planning process tremendously. She listened to the type of feeling we wanted for our wedding and pointed us to the vendors who would fulfill that vision, and as a result our wedding day was truly one of the best days of our lives. The work she and her team did preparing for the day to make sure all the vendor schedules ran smoothly and all details were accounted for was incredibly helpful and took so much off of our plate, allowing us to spend the entire weekend enjoying time with our friends and family. I highly recommend Leanne and You Name It Events!

My sister just got married 2 days ago. None of the guests knew we had an event coordinator! Very unprofessional! Came in the hotel that morning 1 hour late than agreed time, dressed as if she just got out of bed, got ready in OUR hotel room and sat and waited for someone to tell her what to do. She could have been checking the groom’s side of the room if she didn’t want to walk around and find where she could be useful in the bride’s room. Even our guests said Leanne Valdes & 2 girls in sundresses and flip flops were NOT friendly towards our guests! the 2 other girls sat & ate for most of the night during the reception! Everytime Leanne is confronted, she becomes defensive & gives us (including myself!) an attitude! Being that it was my sister’s wedding, I did not want to ruin the night by making a scene so I kept quiet. When our cousin who is a PROFESSIONAL international photographer confronted her, Leanne went up to my sister to complain about it! WHAT KIND OF WEDDING COORDINATOR BRINGS PROBLEMS UP TO THE BRIDE?!? There are more than 10 things we have in our list that makes this company a joke but I can’t fit it all here! WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISGUSTED! And yet through all this, all our attempts of writing an HONEST review about, what I feel is scam of a company, are being denied & deleted! I TRULY HOPE THEY DON’T ROB OTHER BRIDES OF THEIR MONEY BY GIVING THEM THE WORST SERVICES EVER! This is an honest review from an appalled sister of the client.

Simply the best! I was on a tight budget and Leanne was still able to work with me and keep my wedding party and I sane. She always went above and beyond and even had little surprises in store for us. I would recommend You Name It to anyone for any kind of event or need.
