I was truly on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. Weddings are expensive, and I wondered if it was an expense we really needed. I work full time, though, and while my daughter and I were ready to take the bull by the horns and be very involved in the planning, I wanted both her and her fiancé to have an exceptional wedding they would remember for the rest of their lives.

I interviewed several planners, but something about Mandi immediately resonated with me. I took the leap, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.

Mandi started working with us nearly a year in advance and was there every step of the way. She kept us organized, reviewed every detail, and was always just a text, email, or phone call away. She also kept track of vendor contracts, invoices, payments, and deadlines, which took an enormous amount off our plate and made sure nothing was overlooked.

Her experience and relationships within the wedding community were invaluable. She knew who to call, how to bring our ideas to life, and connected us with an incredible team of vendors. As the wedding approached and everything kicked into high gear, Mandi made sure nothing fell through the cracks.

When it came time to execute everything we had spent so many months planning, Mandi had an exceptional team alongside her. On the wedding day, they were organized, professional, and seemingly everywhere at once, making sure every detail came together exactly as it should.

The result was an absolutely spectacular wedding for my daughter and new son in law. The compliments from our guests haven't stopped. They were blown away by the beauty, the attention to detail, and how seamlessly everything came together.

But perhaps the greatest gift Mandi gave me was peace of mind. When the wedding day arrived, I didn't have to manage a hundred moving pieces. I got to simply be the mother of the bride, to be present, take it all in, and watch two people I love have the wedding we had all worked so hard to create. That was priceless.

If you're on the fence about hiring a planner like I was, hire Mandi. She was worth every penny, and knowing what I know now, I would choose her again without hesitation.

Thank you, Mandi, for helping us create a wedding that our daughter, son in law, and entire family will remember forever.

Mandi and her team gave us the wedding day we hoped for and then handled a hundred things we never had to think about. We hired A Sparkling Event for month-of coordination at Hyatt Carmel Highlands, and Mandi ran point with every vendor: DJ and MC, photo and video, florist, harpist, hair and makeup, photo booth, cake, rentals, and hotel catering. As someone planning a wedding for the first time, Mandi willingly answered all of our many questions and was super easy and friendly to talk to. I also appreciated how quickly she responded and acted to all of our questions and requests!

On the day itself she was everywhere at once. Her team built our welcome table exactly to our setup guide, made sure bouquets were delivered on schedule, and made sure the wedding deck was clean and photo-ready before our portraits. Her team ran the livestream so my husband's parents could watch from Europe. She cued our sunset photos at the exact minute and had the kitchen hold entrees so we missed nothing. I performed a song live at our reception, and every transition around it was seamless because Mandi was quietly conducting the whole night. At the end she packed our gifts and decor up to our suite so we could just enjoy the send-off.

We did not worry about a single thing on our wedding day. It was a beautiful day and a dream come true, and a huge part of that is Mandi.

Emily jumped on board right after we got engaged with the wedding only 2 months away. She did an amazing job coordinating and dialing in all of the details for our wedding. We had over 120 people and the wedding day went absolutely perfect. Great communication and execution.

A wedding is never something I could have ever planned without my amazing husband teaming up with Emily! I have never met anyone so on top of their game as! I was so grateful for every minute I spent with this woman. She was fun to be around and authentic to her core. She brought laughter to every hint of frustration and genuine kindness to any awkwardness drifting in the room. What you see is what you get someone that gets to the point and solves problems. She felt more like a friend than someone we hired to plan our wedding. So blessed and grateful for the experience and would do it all over again in the same way if I had to.

We hired Mandi as our wedding planner, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision!

Leading up to the wedding, she went above and beyond our expectations. She helped us refine our design vision and even showed up in person to coordinate with our vendors. She truly understood what we were looking for and worked closely with our florist and other vendors to make sure every detail was perfect.

On the wedding day, she was absolutely amazing. She took care of everything, allowing us to enjoy a completely stress-free day. We had an early morning photoshoot on a cliffside and in the forest, which left my dress completely soiled. When we called her for advice, she immediately sprang into action. After confirming there were no nearby cleaners available on short notice, she came to us with cleaning supplies and did a phenomenal job restoring the dress—it looked almost like new!

Mandi was an incredible part of our wedding day. Her professionalism, creativity, and quick thinking made all the difference. We’re so grateful to her for helping us have the perfect wedding day. Highly recommend!

Mandi did a phenomenal job working with us to plan our wedding and carry out all the duties of the day! She was so friendly and helpful and I felt an immediate comfortability with her when we met. She accommodated us in so many ways and gave great advice and guidance while we planned our wedding from out of town. On the day of our wedding, she took care of everything and allowed us to truly enjoy the day knowing she had everything under control. I would recommend her ten times over and we can’t thank her enough for all she did for us!

Mandi and her team were fantastic! We used her vendors and they were all fantastic. I was the Mother of the Bride, and she took such a burden off of my shoulders. I enjoyed the day almost as if I were a guest

We had such a great experience with Emily. She was extremely organized and on top of EVERYTHING which was beyond helpful! She was always available to answer questions and was great at anticipating what we were going to need as well as a great communicator with all of our vendors. We would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a planner!

Emily was wonderful! She made the entire wedding preparation process so organized and smooth and was always available and responsive to our questions. Her knowledge and experience was invaluable in making sure all that needed to be done and followed up with was handled timely. Her interaction with our venue and vendors helped insure everyone was on the same page and on our wedding day all went perfectly! We were able to just focus on our day and family and friends knowing Emily was there to take care of everything else!

If you are looking for a wedding planner - look no further than Mandi! I really wanted to make sure my wedding was amazing and everything I wanted - but was worried that what I was envisioning could get lost in translation when working with a planner. That was definitely not the case with Mandi! She took the time not only get to know me extremely well but also my mom so that she could balance and deliver against what I ultimately wanted my special day to look and feel like but also keep it within our budget. Mandi was there for everything and anything we needed throughout the planning process all the way through the reception. I was able to trust her implicitly for any last minute details or changes that needed to be made because I knew she had my best interests and more importantly my taste at heart and would make the same choice I would. So I could really relax and take the day in. All to say, my wedding turned out to be the best wedding I have ever been to. Not only that, but I continue to get compliments from those that attended about how memorable it was as well - so if you are looking for someone that will truly make your wedding the best day of your life you absolutely need to choose Mandi!
