What YOUR PERFECT DAY LLC does

Your Perfect Day LLC is a privately held, full-service wedding planning and coordination company founded in October 2008 by April Gladieux and headquartered in Perrysburg, Ohio, with additional offices in Toledo, Bowling Green, and Findlay. The company serves couples in Northwest Ohio and destination weddings, offering wedding planning, day-of coordination (starting at $1,400), LGBTQ+ weddings, destination weddings, decor and rentals (backdrops, lighting, chandeliers, custom neon signs, linens), and standalone timeline creation using a proprietary software system that produces 5-8 page timelines based on 14+ years and 500+ timelines of operating experience. Its customer base is roughly 75% regional Northwest Ohio couples and approximately 25% destination wedding couples from outside Ohio, with the firm capping its schedule at 7 weddings per weekend to preserve service quality.

The business operates on a project-based professional services revenue model: full-service planning packages are custom-priced based on client needs and event scope, day-of coordination starts at $1,400, decor/rentals are sold à la carte with a published 2026 price list, and the standalone timeline creation package is a fixed-price 3-hour offering. Beyond core weddings, the company has diversified into adjacent recurring revenue lines: YPD Mentorship sells one-on-one coaching to aspiring wedding planners with exclusive referral redistribution, and Portable Porcelain, operated as a sub-brand, rents luxury restroom trailers for events across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer through in-person studio consultations, supported by The Knot directory presence (12 consecutive years of Best of Weddings recognition, 2009-2020, plus Hall of Fame), organic social, and reciprocal referral relationships with a curated set of photography partners.

Your Perfect Day reports 19 employees, has facilitated over 1,800 weddings across 18 years, and maintains liability insurance for services, equipment, and decor. It has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no public listing; operations remain regionally concentrated, with growth signaled primarily through productization of internal capabilities (timeline creation, decor, mentorship) and incremental geographic pull from destination weddings rather than aggressive expansion.

Broad incumbents

• Here Comes The Guide: Wedding vendor directory and planning resource covering venues and service providers across the U.S. Comparable as a discovery platform competing for the same couples researching local wedding planners.
• David Tutera: Celebrity wedding and event planner with national brand recognition. Comparable as a high-end full-service wedding planner, though operating at a much larger celebrity-tier scale versus YPD's regional Northwest Ohio focus.
• Marcy Blum Associates: Established full-service wedding and event planner based in New York with destination wedding expertise. Comparable in offering full-service planning plus vendor coordination, though at a national/international scale.
• Brides (Condé Nast): National wedding media brand providing planning content, vendor directories, and inspiration. Comparable as a consumer-facing brand that influences wedding planner selection and category expectations.
• Cort Event Furnishings: National event rental company offering furniture, lighting, and decor for weddings and corporate events. Comparable as a decor rental peer whose products substitute for or complement YPD's in-house rental inventory.
• The Knot (Xometry Wedding Suite): National wedding marketplace and planning platform where YPD is listed and has won its annual 'Best of Weddings' awards. Comparable as a demand-generation and vendor-discovery channel rather than a direct planning service.

Emerging players

• Zola: Online wedding planning platform combining registry, vendor marketplace, and planning tools. Comparable as an alternative channel couples may use instead of hiring a regional planner like YPD.
• La Tavola Fine Linen: Specialty linen and tabletop rental company serving weddings and events nationwide. Comparable as a vendor in YPD's decor and rentals ecosystem, competing for couples' decor budget alongside YPD's in-house rentals.

Others

• HoneyBook: Business management and CRM platform for event and wedding professionals. YPD already endorses HoneyBook to its mentees. Comparable as enabling technology for wedding businesses rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• A Perfect Plan: Regional full-service wedding and event planner operating in the Midwest. Comparable as a direct local competitor offering planning, day-of coordination, and decor services for couples in a similar geographic footprint.
