Universal Events

We hired Dena Cunningham as our day-​of wedding coordinator after getting a referral from a friend. When you’re wedding planning you always think about how you can cut costs. A day-​of coordinator is a «nice to have» but hiring Dena was one of the best decisions we made. Having Dena there meant we didn’t have to worry about all the little details — we could just enjoy ourselves and spend time with family and friends.
We immediately liked Dena when we first met her. She didn’t have as much experience as some other wedding coordinators we met but what impressed me about Dena was her easy-​going personality. She genuinely cares about you and your event and it definitely shows.
Dena got in touch with all of our vendors and put together a timeline for everyone. She made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be at the right time. She did all sorts of thoughtful things like preparing snacks and water for the bridal party, helping with emergency makeup touch-​ups (she even ran out and got me eyelash glue!), packing up dinner for my husband and me, and returning our florist rentals.
I swear I didn’t worry about a single detail the whole day. Nothing went wrong and if it did, I didn’t know about. Dena even jumped in when our DJ couldn’t get everyone’s attention during the reception to announce our first dance.
I would recommend Dena to anyone who needs help with an event, be it a wedding or other special occasion.
