Mandi is the BEST! She had great vendors to suggest and very professional. She meet when we needed to and went over whatever we wanted to at the meetings. She answered etiquette questions, had tips on family traditions, and anything we had questions on. Any vendor we met (whether they were the vendor we ended up using or not...) knew Mandi and loved her. It speaks volumes knowing that people in the industry trust and respect her work !!!

Worked with Rachelle and I can't say enough positive things about her! She was absolutely wonderful; very helpful along every stage of the way even though I had the smallest package possible. I'm pretty sure she answered all my e-mail questions within less than 24 hours! Our day went off without any problems and she even took all of our stuff home with her after the wedding and I just picked it up later. My family loved that! Recommend her with more than 5 stars (if that's possible)!

Amazing! They made everything perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing!

I contacted Champagne with a special request for wedding planning that they didn't offer; they were quick to be helpful and create a specialized plan for me.

Before, During and After the wedding they were professional, fun , affordable and a a true pleasure to work with.

Hiring Mandi was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

I put a lot of time and energy into planning my wedding and I wanted to make sure that my fiancee and I and our parents didn't have to spend the day running around or stressing out ... I really wanted to be able to enjoy it all. That's why we decided to hire Mandi as our day of event coordinator. It was the best decision we made!

She went above and beyond, contacting me throughout my planning process to see how I was doing and offered great advice if I had any questions. On the day of the wedding, everything went exactly according to plan, and even better than I had imagined.

Mandi kept the event flowing, organized the vendors, handled set up, clean up and any other tasks that came her way. She had a big smile on her face the whole night and blended in just like a guest while taking care of business behind the scenes. Not only did everything go perfectly, Mandi also helped in a lot of little ways that I never could have planned, for example, she kept the guests out of the reception space until our photographer could capture the details on the tables, she set aside cake and cookies for us because we were too busy at the reception to grab any. She even made sure that our wedding gifts got put in our hotel room! We truly didn't have to worry about a thing. We can't thank her enough and I would reccommend her to anyone!!

Hiring Rachelle with Champagne was the best wedding decision we could have made! We got married in Bend, Oregon at a private residence and Rachelle was able to TOTALLY put together a wedding day that was far beyond my expectations. Our families and wedding party members were able to show up in Bend and just enjoy themselves rather than running around getting a wedding set up. We hired Rachelle as a “month of” planner but she went ABOVE AND BEYOND what we hired her for. Rachelle was always available to help make decisions and to give advice. It’s nice to be able to bounce ideas off of someone who really knows what she is talking about. I truly believe she is doing exactly what she is supposed to be doing in life!

Mandi & her team are the best! If there was anything about my wedding day that I couldn't be without, it would have to be Mandi! I can't imagine my wedding day running as smoothly as it did had it not been for Mandi and her team. Honestly, it really was stress free for me! I didn't have to worry about anything but getting ready (hair, makeup, and dressed). Mandi took care of everything else! THE BEST INVESTMENT!!! So, if you haven't hired a planner, I strongly recommend you hire Mandi! She'll take care of you!!! Champagne Wedding & Event Coordination rocks!!!

We had a great experience and would recommend getting a wedding planner and specifically Champagne Wedding and Event Coordination to any bride. They were well worth the cost. It made our wedding day so fun to be able to focus on each other and the guests.

Planning a small wedding in a tiny, coastal Oregon town would’ve been enough of a challenge, but doing it from ~3,000 miles away would’ve been a nightmare had it not been for the genius of Mandi Downs! She took all of the random pieces of our plans (some of which were determined even before we met her) and wove them together to create a fun, elegant, and truly memorable event for us and our guests. The word “PERFECT” has been uttered ever since we said “I do”! She kept our budget in mind, really listened to us as we described what we hoped to achieve, chose a florist for us, helped us select an amazing caterer, suggested things we hadn’t thought to consider, ran our rehearsal, and even offered to let us use her Wii for the week we were on the coast! Mandi’s response time to my millions of emails was fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about her and her sense of professionalism, attention to detail, customer service and wonderful personality – do not get married in Oregon without contacting Mandi and the awesome staff at Champagne!!!!

When we started wedding planning, we weren't sure a coordinator would fit in our budget. It seems to be one of the services that isn't essential to the wedding day but now I would say you really can't have a successful wedding without a wedding coordinator and it is SO worth the money (plus it's not as expensive as you might think).

We hired Mandi Downs for our Wedding Day-of coordination and it was one of the best decisions we made! Mandi is everything you would want in a wedding coordinator! She is knowledgeable, organized, friendly, works behind the scenes but takes charge when necessary and has a TON of connections to other Portland vendors. Since my husband and I planned all of the details about the wedding, we met with Mandi about 6 weeks before to go over everything and she managed to get it all down, effortlessly created a timeline for the day, contacted all of our vendors before the wedding to confirm times, led our rehearsal the day before and was at the venue on the wedding day over 3 hours before it began to ensure set-up went smoothly. My husband and I were able to truly enjoy every moment of our wedding day because of Mandi's presence and hard work!

When I first began planning my wedding, I didn't think that I needed a wedding coordinator. As I got further into the planning process, I realized that it would be nearly impossible for my family and I to get everything done on the day of the wedding, and have a stress-free day. We met with several coordinators, and were so impressed by Mandi of Champagne Weddings. She was professional, had lots of great ideas to help make our wedding perfect, and provided an unbelievable amount of help on the day of the wedding! Our wedding would not have turned out as great as it did without Mandi and her team!! My number one piece of advice for other brides now is to look into having a day of event coordinator, and I recommend Mandi. It was so great to not have to worry about how to put everything together and make sure everything got done on the day of wedding. We were free to relax and have fun!

As a mature bride originally I did not feel like I needed a wedding planner, but Mandi was just a joy to work with and brought all my ideas together. Having everything handled the day of the wedding, was such a piece of mind. It allowed me to really enjoy our day. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated her.
