      Joanna Solazzo Fertig: Joanna Solazzo is the Founder of The Day Of Company. Joanna has spent her career within the Event Marketing industry in New York City. Seven years ago, she created a company called Maid to the Maids which offered planning & coordination services to busy bridesmaids for the events leading up to a wedding. After filling numerous requests from Brides and their mothers to work as a coordinator on their wedding day, she realized that there is a need for a straight-forward coordination service for the Day Of weddings & events . . . without the bells, whistles and heavy price tags of traditional event planners. And so, The Day of Company was born.
