Emily and her team area Awesome!

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.

Phenomenal Experience *****

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.

Exceptional Wedding Planner Who Saved the Day (and My Dress)!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Mandi and A Sparkling Event is everything you could want in a wedding planner: Impeccable taste, highly organized, detail oriented, hard worker, and best of all, she’s always wearing a smile. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to photograph the beautiful weddings that Mandi has planned. Some of the best work I’ve done in my career has been enabled thanks in no small part to Mandi’s contribution to a gorgeous day and an accommodating timeline. Weddings can be a dynamic, emotional environment, and Mandi is always able to go with the flow, keep things on track, solve problems and avoid getting stressed. I highly recommend Mandi and her team at A Sparkling Event.
