Wedding reviews
Read what our happy brides have to say about On The Go Weddings & Events.
“Donna is the BEST ever!
Donna was a major part in our wedding this past weekend. From the first time we met to review the details of the day, I could tell we were in great hands. She thought of specifics that never crossed our minds, proving her extensive experience in the business. We left the meeting feeling very confident. On the day of, she was more than helpful ensuring timelines were held, everyone was in their places, and ensured vendors were in sync to provide a seamless and beautiful day.
I would highly recommend Donna to help ensure your big day goes as you always dream it will! Her attention to detail and willingness to do anything she could to make the day special will not go unnoticed. She gets things done and will be your right hand man the whole day!!!”
– Bri S. (Married on 05/17/2024)
“I decided on hiring a day-of coordinator once I realized how overwhelmed I was while planning and am so glad I did! Donna was amazing and thought of details I never would have! Our phone calls always put me at ease and it’s obvious that they truly care for their couples. On our wedding day when the venue’s service started slipping, They were right there to fix it. I didn’t really realize the issues until after the wedding. (Remember, your venue coordinator is NOT the same as a day-of coordinator! You need someone in YOUR corner.) I cannot thank these two enough! Hire them for a stress free wedding day!”
– Zully C. (Married on 09/23/2023)
“My wife and I felt confident coming into the weekend thanks to the months of prep, phone calls, and emails with Donna. She exceeded our expectations with regard to recommending local vendors (including a fantastic bartender), helping build our timeline, and most importantly helping us understand details/issues we never would have known about without her guidance. You get so much more than day-of coordination when you book with Donna. The only thing we wish had gone differently was an earlier arrival time, but that was out of the ordinary for Donna. On a final note, as a queer couple with many LGBTQ+ guests in attendance it was incredibly important to partner with vendors we could trust to hold no bias or judgment against our community — Donna was supportive, engaged, professional, and joyful to work with us and our guests. We had full trust in Donna the day of our wedding and would highly recommend her for another upstate celebration.”
– Eliana Y. (Married on 08/27/2023)
“Donna helped us to get organized for our Saratoga wedding and had great suggestions for vendors, timeline, and flow of our wedding day. She thought of so many details that we hadn’t thought of when planning our day, and talking these details through with her in the weeks leading up to our wedding is what made our day feel absolutely flawless! She was of great assistance to us on the day-of from the hour before the ceremony to the break-down of the reception. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hammer out the details of their day with someone who knows weddings then have help executing those details on the day-of!”
– Chelsea C. (Married on 03/25/2023)
“Donna made wedding planning so much easier! We all know how weddings are stressful but Donna takes care of everything for you! She’s very easy going and great at her job! Loved working with her.”
– Brittany C. (Married on 10/08/2022)
“Donna helped to make our wedding day the best day of our lives! I reached out to Donna about 6 weeks before our wedding day and from our first phone call Donna was SO helpful. She jumped right in and helped with every minor detail, making it possible for me and my now husband to enjoy the special planning process. Donna communicated with all of our vendors and helped the day run so smoothly.
We had some hurdles due to the weather that we couldn’t control, but thanks to Donna, I did not have to worry about anything! She helped to move our ceremony and cocktail hour to help make sure the day ran smoothly. She advocated to our venue and vendors to make sure that everything was just how I envisioned it and MORE. I cannot recommend Donna and her team enough!! She blew us away and we are so happy she was a part of our wedding day!”
– Melissa C. (Married on 08/26/2022)
“We hired Donna for our August 2022 wedding. She did a great job of making sure that every single thing ran smoothly the weekend of the wedding, coordinating all of the different vendors, and not missing a beat. She was easy to work with, friendly, with a great attention to detail and able to stay on top of all the different moving parts. We hired her because of her great reviews and experience, and it really paid off. Thank you, Donna, for working with us! Our wedding was better than we ever could have hoped.”
– Bradley F. (Married on 08/20/2022)
“Donna is amazing! My husband and I hired Donna as our day-of coordinator for our wedding day on August 12. Our intimate ceremony was held at Thacher Park in the afternoon and our reception at Loft 433 in Troy in the evening. We hired Donna to help coordinate both venues and the vendors associated with each venue so that we didn’t have to worry about anything… she was absolutely amazing! She made sure everything flowed smoothly, met us at Thacher Park to preview the location of the ceremony, and also attended the final meeting/walkthrough with us at Loft 433. Donna is organized, communicative, and caring! We would definitely hire Donna again for any future events!”
– Pauline M. (Married on 08/12/2022)
“Donna was really great to work with. She kept in touch constantly with me and asked for updates to make sure she knew what was going on. We had a hurricane the weekend of the wedding but she was still on time and was able to set up everything even while I was running around.”
– Yara E. (Married on 08/22/2021)
“Amazing Wedding Coordinator. Donna was a lifesaver! She was amazing during our covid wedding, handled every small detail and when my father in law went missing, she tracked him down to make everything smooth again. I’m very organized so I thought maybe I could do my wedding without a coordinator but after all of the questions Donna asked, I realized I never would have thought of certain things. She was professional, reasonable, organized, patient and we’re so happy to have had her on our day!”
– Kelsey (Married on 6/12/21)
“Donna was great! We hired Donna as our day of coordinator and she made our wedding day seamless! As the bride, it was great to know that she handled everything on our wedding day so I could relax and enjoy the day. Definitely recommend!”
– Amanda (Married on 6/26/21)
“Amazing experience! If I said it once, I said it a million times; Donna and On The Go Events was the BEST thing that we spent money on during the entire wedding process! My schedule is unpredictable, and I was trying to plan a wedding from several states away. Donna helped not only with the day-of events (so I never had to worry about a thing), but also helped coordinate our vendors, visited different sites, found places for my husband and I to get ready, and helped make every unique aspect of our wedding come together seamlessly. We grew so close during the process, that people thought she was a family member! I would absolutely recommend her to any other bride, and am so grateful for my experience!”
– Kellie A.
“Best Wedding Investment ever! As the mother of a very organized bride, I can honestly say that using Donna from On The Go Weddings & Events was one expense that was worth every penny and more. Donna was our Wedding Coordinator and she kept everything and everyone on task and on time. No worries about rouge vendors or last minute details; Donna had every possibility covered. She coordinated details thoroughly with every vendor, venue and even the church. She was professional yet warm and understanding. She was creative in ways that we never expected, and when all was said and done, this wedding will be talked about for years! There was not a single thing came up wrong! Every guest was satisfied. From the perspective of the mother of the bride, if you’re planning a wedding or your child is, do yourself a favor and include On The Go. You’ll have a stress free event and probably make a lifetime friend.”

“My daughter was married at the Adelphi Hotel in Saratoga Springs. I recently called Donna, the owner of On The Go Weddings & Events and asked for her help in putting together 75 gift bags. I didn’t leave her a lot of time but Donna had outstanding ideas on how to customize the bags with a Saratoga theme as many of the guests were from out of town. They were excited to get welcome bags with contents from the area: Death Wish Coffee, Saratoga water, Saratoga Chips, Saratoga Olive Oil, Saratoga Spices, Chocolate, koozies, and a lot more. The bags were customized to the wedding colors and beautifully put together. I can’t say enough about Donna’s assistance in this process as we had no idea what we really wanted to do –we just knew we wanted 75 gift bags! She sent lots of ideas and photos. She also included maps of the area so our out-of-town guests could navigate their way around. Donna delivered the bags to the rehearsal venue, saving us the worry of having to pick them up. When I got there and saw them, I knew we had made the right decision. I would use On The Go Weddings & Events again any time! Definitely call her if you have the need for gift bags for a wedding!!! I know she can provide bags for many other occasions as well. She is a top shelf person to work with.”

“Donna was amazing to work with from start to finish! She helped us coordinate our wedding BBQ reception. Our guests had a great time. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for help with wedding coordination, bartending services, or any event planning in general. Thanks again!”
– Amberly B
“Donna did an AMAZING job with our destination rehearsal dinner in South Carolina! We had no worries leaving our BBQ themed dinner in her hands. We had 75 people attend and everyone was raving about how gorgeous and flawless everything was. I HIGHLY recommend this company!”
– Amy
“Originally, I said I would just do everything myself. Our backyard wedding would be small–including our blended family with adult children and grandkids. But we soon changed our minds and started looking for assistance. So glad we decided to get professional help because then we could relax and enjoy the day. Donna suggested a caterer, musician, photographer, and cake baker. Her recommendations were great. Donna checked in with us the week before our wedding to finalize last-minute details. Then she appeared on the wedding day and did her thing, to keep all “behind the scenes” activities rolling. As our wedding party ended the evening with s’mores around the firepit, Donna left us with a clean kitchen, extra food put away in the fridge, and trash out the door.”

“Donna was such a big help at our wedding! I can’t even tell you all the details she saw to. She kept scheduled events on time (That’s saying something considering one of our sweet ring bearers dropped a ring in the grass lol and then of course a search ensued lol…we found it the next morning!) She helped deal with our vendor’s questions and did some problem solving. She served our cake to our guests and us, helped with clean up, brought the cake inside for storage before she left (outdoor wedding). She even helped zip up my dress before the ceremony, while my wedding party was doing pictures lol. Long before the big day though Donna was such a help. The caterer we had hired had a serious family issue that he had to travel out of state to assist with, and Donna introduced me to an amazing caterer. We interviewed 3 caterers to take the place of our original one but we went with Donna’s suggestion, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She knows great people. She was responsive to our every email. Met with us a few times to go over wedding day particulars. Even being so gracious as to meet me at the hair salon during a hair appointment, to go over our timeline and some entertainment details, when I was having trouble finding time to meet with her! She was kind and gracious and we were glad to have her in our corner for the big day.”

“I hired On The Go Weddings & Events to help out the day of my wedding and it was 100% the right choice. I was so busy being pulled in 20 different directions there was no way I could have done it without them. Donna and I corresponded for a few months before the wedding so she had a good idea of what I needed help with. She had another engagement that day, but she brought along her associate, Teresa with her to our rehearsal dinner and despite the chaos there was able to communicate what I needed. Day of, Teresa was fabulous. She set up all my centerpieces and decor tables, lined everyone up for the processional, communicated with the DJ, and basically did anything I asked of her. She was SO helpful. At one point, my bustle came undone and she was running around like a madwoman trying to find me a safety pin. During “down” time she ran to the bar to get beverages for the wedding party. I can’t recommend On The Go Weddings & Events enough. The peace of mind and ability to relax a little on my big day was SO worth the money. Hire them!”
– Rebecca
“I worked with Donna for our at-home reception in Saratoga State Park after our destination wedding. From day one, Donna had put me at ease as I was very overwhelmed with planning another large party. She was so organized, had great vendor referrals (who provided discounts), and covered every little detail I would not even think of. We had met at the event space prior to plan the layout of the space, discussed decor and had a lot of communication via email and text. I was glad that Donna handled everything and I did not have to worry about a thing come the day of our party. She kept the event running smoothly and her staff was professional. If you are looking for someone who can keep you on track during event planning, offer suggestions, and allow peace of mind for your big event, Donna is the person to go to. You will not be disappointed as she exceeded our expectations!”
– Sheryl
“Donna was a joy to work with! Prior to our actual wedding day, Donna assisted with some last minute vendors, such as cocktail hour food, drink servers, and rentals for tables and chairs. We met up with Donna at our venue beforehand as well so we could explain what we were trying to do with the set up and a walk through of the day. Donna was a huge help on the day of the wedding. We had a fairly DIY wedding at an outdoor venue in our town so I arrived early to set up. I didn’t want to leave the venue without supervision (to go get ready) so Donna came earlier than originally planned to “watch” the area and help set up the rest of the venue. She helped throughout the day and coordinated with the vendors for our special day. She has a lot of local knowledge for those of you in the capital region/Saratoga. We were very happy with Donna and all of her hard work!”
– Valerie
“Donna was absolutely incredible! She was so helpful and accommodating. I had an outdoor backyard reception so Donna had a lot to do and keep her busy! Everything went off without a hitch due to all her planning, corresponding and her hard work and love for what she does. The commitment and care behind what Donna does absolutely surpasses all of my expectations. I had numerous guests coming up to me asking who she was and commenting on how fabulous and what wonderful work she was doing! My family and I have nothing but positive comments and love for her! Thank you Donna for not only what you do but who you are! Love you and will be absolutely recommending you to everyone I can! <3”
– Kate Clodgo-Gordon
“Donna saved the day and helped prevent a bridezilla from emerging. My fiancé (now wife) wanted a small wedding with just a few friends. Unfortunately for us, we underestimated the amount of work that goes into even a small reception. Planning everything last minute was becoming stressful. To prevent my death by a stressed out Puerto Rican, I decided to hire someone to help with the wedding. I called Donna with less than one week before the wedding. She found a cake maker that did an amazing job even with last minute notice. She picked up and delivered the reception food and did a lot of the set-up. She found the best limo pricing, and even a local hotel suite with a hot tub during track season at a discounted rate! There were covered strawberries waiting for us when we arrived in the hotel room with her compliments. Donna is friendly, professional, trustworthy, and hard working. She knows many people in the hotel, restaurant and other local businesses. If you need an event planned or any kind of concierge service, I’d recommend her. I’ve saved her number knowing she will be there to save the day! Thanks Donna!”
“I hired Donna from On The Go Weddings & Events for “day-of” wedding planning and services, and the title is misleading in the best way possible! Donna helped with SO MUCH MORE than just the “day-of” things. She answered every e-mail I sent her for months before, returned every phone call, contributed inspiration and ideas for the wedding, worked out all of the fine details with the vendors, and so much more. She even put together the most amazing bridal emergency kit for the wedding which included things like Advil, chocolate, band aids, sewing kit, Tide To Go, safety pins, etc. Donna helped all of my dreams for the wedding to come to life. The ceremony and reception were set up perfectly, she got people where they needed to be & stuck to our schedule. She is just fun to work with in general! Thank you SO MUCH Donna!!”
“Donna was just on point. I couldn’t have asked for a better Coordinator/Planner. She handled and negotiated everything from the limo and shuttle bus to the photo booth. She even found a reformed Rabbi to marry us. She also coordinated with all of my vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. It was all perfect, I couldn’t have done it on my own. She was my life saver. Anyone who hires her will not regret their decision. Thank you Donna from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best in my eyes. My wedding went off without a hitch. It’s was absolutely perfect. “

“Donna was a lifesaver! My husband and I decided to have a short, four month engagement and to try to do everything ourselves. I quickly saw that I could not do it all, along with homeschooling my two children, working part time and orchestrating a move and keep my sanity! I found Donna and she quickly responded to my inquiry. She was willing to work with our budget, was organized (which is not my strong suit), able to see little things that needed to get done which my then-fiance and I did not even consider, and was punctual and professional. I would recommend Donna to anyone trying to pull off an event that needs someone to help make the planning less overwhelming. She certainly did that for us!”
