The Single Greatest Choice We Made for Our Wedding

When we were looking for on-the-day coordinators we weren't totally sure what we were after, all we knew is we wanted someone to help alleviate the stress of organising our wedding day and make sure we didn't have to spend all our time on the phone organising suppliers.

Zeleka and The Wedding Coordinators went so far above and beyond our request, that I am not sure we have the superlatives to describe how incredible they were. From the initial outreach call we knew we had made the best choice for our special day. Once we hit the 6 week mark it was all systems go from TWC. They met us at our chosen venue and had an entire gameplan already laid out for us. During the first meeting with the venue they came prepared with a number of questions and requirements for the Kew Gardens team, and we were deeply impressed with everything they had thought of to get clarification on. They worked closely with the incredible Events Team at Kew to organise the day for every single supplier, down to the minute. They even prepared all the finer details like floor, meal and seating plans. Honestly it was such a wonderful experience, we came away from the run through meeting feeling as though an enormous weight had been lifted from our shoulders. Every contingency was planned for and we just had such a great feeling of confidence.

In the final week before the wedding, all of our suppliers received their itinerary and schedule. Having seen the contents of these packs we were staggered by how detailed everything was. Every single supplier had clarity on what their role, requirements and timings were. Working with some of our suppliers was not an easy task, each one had unique requirements and some needed more hand holding than others. TWC took it all in their stride and ensured every supplier had what they needed for the day to be successful.

As we drew closer to the day Zeleka kept in constant contact with us, which we really appreciated and helped keep our nerves and stress levels under control. She let us know what she and her team needed from us ahead of the day, so we had ample time to prepare and supply it. The process felt very manageable, comprehensive and we felt as though nothing had been forgotten. From cake knives to heel protectors, seating plans to bubble guns, it all had been considered. We leaned on the TWC team also with a few personal requests, nothing was too big of an ask and Zeleka was happy to work our requirements into the plan for the day.

Now, if the service leading up to the day was a ten out of ten, the performance on the day itself was a million out of ten. The day kicked off with TWC being in communication with our bridal party letting them know what was happening and timings they needed to be aware of. This allowed myself and my wife to focus on getting ready and just enjoying our day. I arrived at the venue first and it was clear that all the prep and planning had paid off, every single supplier was primed and in place to help deliver the most wonderful day for us. When my wife arrived everyone was in place for her to do her aisle walk, quartet, best man, flower girls - everything went so perfectly.

The team also did such a fantastic job organising our families, getting them in place and comfortable for the ceremony, the photos and receptions. When my wife and I were taken to do our photos, we were accompanied by Grace from TWC who made sure we ran on time and looked after all the small details whilst we were away from our guests, from dress fixer to champagne and phone holder.

The reception dinner, cake cutting and first dance all went off without a hitch. The whole thing ran like a Swiss watch, and if there were any hiccups on the day we certainly didn't know about it - we were able to completely focus on enjoying our day with our family and friends.

We honestly can't express how appreciative we are of Zeleka and the team, we certainly could not have done it without all their incredible help. We would recommend The Wedding Coordinators to anyone who wants to make sure both their wedding planning and wedding day goes perfectly.

Put us at ease and made for a seamless wedding day!

Zeleka and the team at The Wedding Coordinators made the build-up and experience of our London wedding more joyous and so much less stressful. They seamlessly managed communication between our various vendors in the weeks leading up to the day, ensuring everyone was on the same page, and their experience and professionalism meant we could focus on relaxing and enjoying the day. Thank you The Wedding Coordinators!

Zeleka and Sophia were amazing really helped make our wedding day so special. We built a strong bond from the begin which helped the further planning of everything fall into place so smoothly. Could not have asked for a better team to help coordinate our wedding day and will defo be recommending them to other friends and family looking for a wedding coordinator. Their full day price is so reasonable and they really work to the T with their excellent service. Thank you both again so much xx

So grateful we booked the wedding day coordinators!

Zelka and the team were instrumental in making our day magical! Our wedding day had a surprise summer rain storm, which would have been stressful had TWC team not stepped in and made on the spot decisions to move the drinks reception (and all the decor) indoors. Furthermore, TWC have great industry connections, and were able to recommend great suppliers and negotiate fantastic prices for our vendors. I could not praise them higher!

Zeleka and her team our a necessity!

From the first phone call I had with Zeleka, her confidence and experience shone through. Straight away she gave me connections for suppliers I had not found yet such as catering and production. Also advice on timeline and logistics.

I trusted Zeleka with the vision of the wedding and knew that it was in very safe hands. Before the wedding we had numerous phone calls and a site visit. I felt very comfortable relaying my vision and what I wanted. Zeleka was also a great sound board and when it came to things that wouldn’t work aswell. The wedding day was a success and completely stress free for us as the Bride and Groom. Zeleka handled everything and we could truly enjoy our special day. Words can’t express how grateful we are to Zeleka for all her hard work in making the day so great!

Our guests have all commented on how amazing and efficient the co-ordination team were. They were on hand to help all guests, and in particular saved the day when a guest lost an earring back. It’s details like this that my guests will remember! They not only did a spectacular job but they also look the part too!

Best decision I ever made was hiring Zeleka and her team! Will 100% recommend as a necessity to all wedding couples!

Peace of mind & perfection

Zeleka and her team were the height of professionalism from start to finish.
They took care of every detail and ran the day along with our venue, perfectly.
They managed the suppliers, overseeing the fine details of the rooms.
They were constantly on hand to support us in the lead up to the wedding day, and made excellent recommendations for an MC.
I only wish I had another wedding to plan!!
Anniversary party for sure!

If you want precise execution, choose wedding day coordinatora

We just want to thank the Wedding day coordinators from the bottom of our hearts for excellent coordination of our wedding. It was absolutely perfect. From day 1, they showed us that they meant business. And on the day, they handled everything with razor-sharp precision. They also adapted well to our inter-cultural wedding and made sure all our guests were aware of the order of events. We would highly recommend their services.

Wonderful team!

Where do we even start? It’s impossible to put into words just how important Zeleka and her team were essential to our big day.

We had dry hire so lots of moving parts and wonderful suppliers, but we couldn’t have done without an on the day coordinator to make sure they were all ok.

We had the package where Zeleka and her team oversaw it all the month before.

We also had access to the online platform Aisle Planner where we were able to keep track of everything- from payments to seating plans.

Zeleka, Jasmin and Ashley were expectional on the day.

We constantly heard the wedding party say- I’m not sure, ask Zeleka?

All we had to do for the day was enjoy! And we did. Best day of our lives!

Thanks team,

The best decision we made for our wedding day

Where do we start... As our wedding venue, the Round Chapel, was a dry hire venue, there was no dedicated organiser at the venue who could run the show on the day. All our food was essentially a giant takeaway, so there was no-one to provide serving staff, and we had to bring in all other elements of the day ourselves.

We needed someone who could bring all of the threads of the day together and make everything run smoothly. It was essential we had professional wedding day management.

We found The Wedding Day Coordinators online; their range of services fitted in with our intention to plan our own wedding day, but to have someone to coordinate the different elements and ensure we could relax on the day itself. Planning a wedding on the way out of the COVID pandemic was stressful, and there were many logistical challenges. Luckily the couples who had left very positive reviews on their website suggested that we would be in capable hands!

After our initial conversation with Zeleka, there was no question that we were in safe hands. From the beginning to the end of the wedding planning process, we felt supported, encouraged and excited.

In the lead-up to the big day, we had regular Zoom meetings with Zeleka to talk through what needed doing, what we were concerned about and what solutions were available. We were given access to a great wedding planning platform where we could share contracts, contacts and table plans with Zeleka and keep to-do lists to help us stay organised.

Zeleka was great at flagging things we had not even thought about before, such as contingency plans if COVID impacted our day or ensuring we had the right knife for cutting the cake! It was this attention to detail that made us feel incredibly supported.

Zeleka took responsibility for contacting suppliers to take things off our plate, and in the final month, all contact went through her so we could focus on the final bits and pieces. Seeing Zeleka’s emails going out to suppliers in the final few days, with detailed instructions on every aspect of the wedding, was very reassuring for us!

No wedding day goes totally smoothly and ours was no exception. There was an issue with the serving of our food, and many of our suppliers got stuck in traffic because of a petrol crisis, but we only found out about it weeks after our wedding day, leaving us free to enjoy every moment literally uninterrupted. This was the level of professional service we got from the Wedding Day Coordinators. When an issue arose, they dealt with it calmly and capably, and we didn’t even notice anything had happened!

Aside from their amazing work, Zeleka and the team are just lovely, wonderful people, and we felt like they were part of our day. After a stressful cab ride to the venue because of the petrol crisis, Zeleka was outside, ready to meet my wife, chat with her and calm her down before she walked down the aisle. As we left the ceremony, Zeleka led us to a quiet room in the venue where she’d laid out prosecco and sweet treats so that we could have a moment alone together. Every single aspect of the day had been considered with us in mind. It’s this personal touch that really makes their work special.

We would recommend the Wedding Day Coordinators to any couple looking to shape their unique wedding day but needing a capable and experienced team to tie those ideas together.

Zeleka and the WDC team are worth every penny. We could not have done the day without them.­­­

Zeleka & TWC came through at the 11th hour for the day of our dreams!

TLDR: Zeleka and the Wedding Day Coordinators came through at the 11th hour to help my husband and I pull off the day of our dreams!

I contacted Zeleka 7 days before the wedding for what I thought would be minor assistance with on the day coordination, and quickly realised that there was so much I hadn't considered - on the day scheduling, seating plan, floral arrangement, audio-visual set up and testing etc. After speaking to Zeleka, I knew I had found the person as determined (and maybe, as crazy?) as I to work fast, work smart and pull it all together seamlessly. Her famous last words before we sped off into execution mode was "what am I getting myself into?" :)

Zeleka and I became fast friends - voice-noting, emailing, WhatsApping day and night to coordinate everything from big decisions around seating plan and music playlists to small things such as stationary design. She came through for my husband and I with a personal referral for entertainment, and filled in many other gaps including bringing furniture and designing our menu cards before having them printed. Absolutely no stone was left unturned!

They say that you should choose your wedding vendors wisely and I'm so glad my state of panic led me to Zeleka and the Wedding Day Coordinators. The day was a perfect representation of my husband and I's personalities, and everything was handled so smoothly as to not distract from the overwhelming love in the room. One of my favourite moments of my wedding day was when I saw a surprise guest and started crying. Best believe, Zeleka was there to wipe my tears and make sure my make-up was intact!

I cannot recommend the Wedding Day Coordinators highly enough for, of course, their professional and thoughtful wedding design, planning and coordination - but even moreso for a friend throughout what can be a very stressful time (and a friend even after the big day!)

I can't wait to plan our vow renewal with Zeleka and the Wedding Day Coordinators (and will leave more than 7 days to plan, haha!)

Couldn't have done it without them!

Working with Zeleka and the team was the best decision we could have made when planning our October 21 wedding. From the first meeting to the big day, we always felt so confident and calm that everything was going to be okay! Planning a wedding is full on and it can be stressful but working with TWC made us feel in control and at ease.

One of my biggest fears when wedding planning was that I was going to forget something important and mess up our dream day. But having Zeleka working through every detail of the day with a fine toothcomb, reassured me that we'd got it covered - and if we had forgotten something, she had our back and could help us get it done.

I am a massive control freak and I knew that when it came to the day itself, I wouldn't be able to trust my friends & family to execute our vision exactly how we had planned. But more importantly, I wanted my nearest and dearest to have the best day and not need to worry about anything either. By bringing in a wedding coordinator, you and your family are free to enjoy every minute of the day, knowing everything is in hand.

A big bonus for me was the integrated planning platform that TWC gave us access to in the lead up to the wedding. We were able to track our budget, invoices, to-do lists, table plans, guestlist, RSVPs etc all from one online hub. Say goodbye to dodgy homemade spreadsheets!

On the day, Zeleka & the team were incredible. They led every element of the day, greeting the suppliers, leading the room changes, keeping everyone in check and making sure we were having the best day possible with no added stress. I'm so happy we made the decision to work with a wedding coordinator as we couldn't have done it without them. Thank you so much TWC!

Superb service - essential for couples

We commissioned the Wedding Coordinators to co-ordinate our wedding day in June 2021. From the very beginning, Zeleka was incredibly helpful giving us tons of advice and tips given the government Covid-19 restrictions. Their aisle planner was so useful and helped us plan the seating layout and communication with our suppliers. It encouraged us to read through contracts with our suppliers to ensure they were delivering the services we had paid for. Throughout the planning phase, they were professional, responsive and offered so much useful information to help us make informed decisions. They helped us put together the timeline for the day ensuring responsibility for every activity was delegated to named people or suppliers. TWC handled all communication with our suppliers towards the end of the planning phase and even helped us make a few last minute changes to improve the overall appearance of our reception. On the day, the co-ordination was seamless - Tiffany and Ameena worked really well with all of our other suppliers and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we were okay and running to time. They remained friendly, calm and professional. If there was any issues or hiccups with any of the suppliers, I wasn't aware of it because the whole day went perfectly. I can't recommend TWC enough - they're worth their weight in gold. The lack of stress over details helped make our day really special ❤

Exceptional experience, would recommend to everyone!

Zeleka and her team were exceptional. In the lead up to the day, we had regular check ins and an open WhatsApp chat to voice any questions or concerns. The day itself couldn’t have gone as well without Zeleka, Sophia and Grace. They were professional, treated our guests with care and made sure that everyone was informed about what was going on. I’m a Project Manager in my day to day and so I definitely didn’t think I would be able to fully relax on the wedding day but I was able to! A definite must have for our wedding. Thank you ladies x

Incredible day and amazing team, highly recommend!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Zeleka and the team! From the lead-up until the very last moment of our special day, they were an absolute godsend. They were always available, patient with our manic schedules, and super organised which allowed us to put our minds at ease while they maintained control. They helped us navigate every detail of the day, from recommending vendors to creating a timeline, while keeping us calm and stress-free throughout. Their attention to detail and ability to not leave any stone unturned in planning was unmatched.

On the actual wedding day, they were a true lifesaver. Everything ran seamlessly—timing was perfect, the main characters were briefed, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing! Our guests kept commenting on how smoothly everything went, and it’s all thanks to our coordinator’s hard work and dedication behind the scenes. They made sure we enjoyed every moment of our day without a care in the world.

We are so grateful for all the love and care they put into making our wedding day the best day of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, look no further!

Highly recommend!

Invaluable!

A huge thank you to Zeleka and the team for all their help with our wedding day. From our first phone call Zeleka was kind, helpful, professional and informative and I knew we were in good hands. I toed and froed for a while about the need for wedding day coordination from a budget perspective and given we had a good venue booked, but it was honestly the best money we spent in the end and I'm so glad we went for TWC- I can’t imagine now how it would have gone without them and I would recommend to all who are a bit type A (!) and want to feel all eventualities are accounted for.


The stress she alleviated in the lead up to the wedding by liasing with all suppliers was absolutely invaluable. As soon as I saw emails going through to our vendors one by one, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I could focus on looking forward to my big day.

And then the day came! I had wanted no stress on the day for me or my close ones, and whilst a bit of this was inevitable, Zeleka really left me largely worry free. She came with a fantastic team (also looking fabulous might I add!) and I didn't even know what was going on in the background for the course of the day- they were that smooth!

Thanks again to Zeleka and TWC- we are so very grateful to you!
