Professional

We are so thankful for our wedding planner, Staci. After one conversation, I could tell she wanted to make our visions a reality and put a unique spin on our wedding. She was thoughtful, SO RESPONSIVE, professional and tried to put out any dilemmas/issues that occurred along the way herself before coming to me. I can’t understate that last part. And that’s exactly the person you want managing your big day. She was kind, excited and I really loved having her as our wedding planner. Not to mention, her prices are more than reasonable for the outstanding job that she does. Thank you Staci!

Staci is the best in the business!

Staci Mandikas, owner of Unique Weddings + Events, is the best in the business. Creative, experienced and detailed, Staci knows how to orchestrate the perfect wedding. She kept everything moving from start to finish in planning all the way through to the day of the wedding. She comes highly recommended, has extensive contacts and collaborates professionally with all vendors and all other involved. Her design ability is phenomenal. Staci seamlessly handled details so that we were able to relax and enjoy the day. Everyone fell in love with her. We are forever grateful for Staci and her team. She is top notch!

Homerun!!!!!!!

Staci hit it out of the park for our wedding. Every detail was well thought out and executed. We changed our wedding and made it much smaller due to the pandemic and with all the changes (even though it was extra work for her) she met it with ease and handled it like a true professional. Our wedding surpassed our expectations. Every detail was accounted for. It was truly our perfect day. We plan on using Staci in the future for other events we plan on having. She is truly a gem and after working with her I am sad to see her go.

A Few Fun Facts about Me:

  • I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, so I spent my childhood hitting the Mardi Gras parade route & sucking crawfish heads.
  • My background is in interior design, and architecture & interior design still remain some of my strongest inspiration sources.
  • I describe my personal style as “conservative with a pop.”
  • I like sweet wine and cocktails, but I also love a good spicy bloody mary.
  • My guilty pleasure is anything Kate Spade and reality TV.
  • My go-to Starbucks order is an iced, vanilla chai latte.
  • One of my favorite quotes is “Make a bold mark, not a dull impression.” – Unknown
  • My honesty can be loved and loathed.
  • I love anything with tomato, although I’m still not convinced that it’s a fruit.
  • My ideal client is sarcastic and may drop the occasional f-bomb.
  • My favorite part of a wedding is when I get to bring the couple into the reception and show them everything that we’ve been talking about for a year. That reaction feeds my soul!

Staci is amazing! She will bring any idea to life in a way you could not imagine. She is super creative and organized. What sets her apart from others is that she is a designer. She creates the impossible with stunning concepts and design. We worked together on a large scale high end wedding on a very short turn around timeline, and she and her team knocked it out of the ball park. That wedding was published internationally, due in part to her great work! You will love her upbeat and get it done personality. If you want to have a wedding day where you do not worry about one things, she is your girl!
