Q & A

Makeup & Hair Services

Will Day Of provide Hair and Makeup Services or can I book my own vendors? 

Day Of knows that half the battle of getting ready on your morning of is securing top hair and makeup artist who know what they are doing! We have a team of artist that we prefer for Brides to Book and use for their morning glam squad.  In the "Contact Us" there is a section for you to fill out here. 

​

This allows us to take it off of your hands and run the process without a lot of work on your end  — other than showing up and getting beautified!  However, we understand if you want book your own stylist or go in your own direction! We just ask leading up to the wedding if we can contact your booked team to make arrangements for the morning of!

On Location Services

What if my wedding is outside of the Twin Cities?  Do you Travel and is there a travel fee? 

We certainly do travel! The Day Of Crew understands that all weddings are not located in the Saint Paul/Minneapolis area.  Submit your inquiry and we will give you an exact travel fee based on your getting ready space location. 

*General guideline is anything 30 miles outside of the Twin Cities is a dollar a mile each way.

Supplies Needed

What will be provided the morning of my wedding from Day Of? What will I need to provide for the bridal party?

Day Of doesn't want you to lift a finger! That is why we provide all the food & bevi carts ( great for a hotel with limited counter space or a home to declutter the kitchen). All the coffee cups, bowls, plates, silverware, espresso maker + fixings, food display + a laundry list of all essentials are provided and detailed in your Day Of quote upon submission.

Our goal is to not have you placing any orders, running any errands or fussing about set up. We have it all covered! 

Payment

How does Day Of prefer to process my payment? What is required on my end?

We understand that planning a wedding is a lot to juggle.  The last thing we want is for you to stress one more vendor payment the morning of your big day so payments are always locked and loaded 48-72 prior. 

We ask for a deposit of $200 to hold your wedding date. This is paid via Credit Card that will be held on file for your final payment. 

​

After submitting your wedding details in the "Contact" link- You will receive a quote.

​

The Day Of Crew will reach out within 48 hours of reviewing your quote and walk through your pricing plan in detail based on your wedding Day Of needs. 

​

A detailed contract will be mapped out with dates, times and headcount.  You are able to add guests up until one week prior to the wedding but can not remove guests from the agreed upon head count.

The agreed upon payment must be paid in full one week prior to the wedding via Credit Card Payment that was placed on file. 

Set Up & Take Down

How does Day Of handle set up prior to the morning of and the clean up ?  Will we need to have someone available to let you into the space if we are not there?

Set up and clean up times are all customizable based on your comfort level.

​

The most common scenario is: 

Set Up:   

Day Of Crew members will arrive to set up (i.e. furniture arrangement, configuring hair and makeup placement, food and bevi cart in place, dress rack in place, Bridal gifts set ect).  This happens typically the the evening prior to your morning of (most Brides prefer during the rehearsal dinner). This allows the bulk of the set up to be done and ready to have Day Of Crew quietly sneak in and drape with all the fresh fixings and goodies to wow your guests before they even wake up!

​

In this scenario — Hotel and Private Home/Airbnb is the best option. If getting ready at the venue on the morning of your wedding verse a home or hotel, the venue will typically guide you on their timeline and preference for set up. 

​

Clean Up: 

In your contract an "approximate stop time" will be decided on. The Day Of Crew will arrive 5-10 minutes prior to this time and begin to move out nonessential items that are not being used.  Most Brides prefer to wait for the bridal party to depart  before Day Of Crew begins to clean up as the last few moments before departure can be hectic!

It is our goal to not only remove Day Of items but to put the room back together as well as tidy up the areas used -as if we were never there! Return to a house or hotel that doesn't look like a bomb went off!

​

In both scenarios - your safety is our number one goal. Only Day Of Crew members will be involved with set up and clean up.

​

Images and instructions of who will be arriving and what they will setting up will be detailed in your contract. We will privately arrange entrance and exit of the house or hotel based on your preference.

​

Typically brides assign a family member  or bridal party member to be the point person for the Day Of Crew members to communicate their arrival and departure. 

​

The Crew's Role

Does The Day Of Crew stay for the entire morning? 

Our ultimate goal to create a smooth and seamless morning of for you and your guests. We set up and take down prior to your guests arriving and heading out to the wedding festivities.  All the in between time is meant to be well spent with your guests without us in your way! 

​

If you prefer to have a Day Of Crew member stay throughout the entire getting ready morning — please list in the "additional details" section of the "Contact" tab. 

Other Vendor Roles

Does Day Of help coordinate the entire day of the wedding including other vendor communication, ceremony and reception planning? 

Although Day Of is dedicated to the overall wedding day experience, we specialize in the morning getting ready experience. Because we work closely with Maggie J Makeup and her hair partners we aid in communicating the planning and prep of hair and makeup. 

If you would like additional assistance communicating with other vendors, such as photographers and florist involving your wedding day—we would be happy to discuss those options with you.
