Mandy was absolutely exceptional! From our very first meeting, my husband and I were drawn to her warm, engaging personality. She made it a priority to ensure every detail of our wedding felt personal and uniquely “us.” Mandy truly listened to what was important to us and crafted a day that felt authentic and special in every way. She was always available to answer questions and went above and beyond by connecting us with incredible vendors who perfectly matched our style. Throughout the process, she wasn’t just our planner—she was our biggest cheerleader. We’ve recommended her to countless friends and family, and it’s been so rewarding to see her create equally beautiful and personalized experiences for them. We truly couldn’t have imagined our day without her—it was perfect because of Mandy!

Mandy is truly one of a kind. Just was not just a wedding planner but has become a friend. Her attention to detail throughout the planning process was extremely helpful in making sure that we were staying on task and accomplishing what needed to be done. Her willingness to learn and adapt to working with a new venue and vendors was beyond impressive. When it came to the day of, I was probably my most calm and relaxed self because of her. She coordinated and perfected timed the entire day which allowed for no hiccups, and if there were, she made sure I didn’t know and took care of it all herself. I even had family members thanking her for the incredible job she did. There will never be enough words to describe how amazing and incredible she is as a planner, person and now friend. The relationships she builds with clients is unlike any other. Forever grateful for her and helping us have our perfect day!!!

Mandy was the ABSOLUTE BEST decision my husband and I made in planning our wedding. She has several packages to chose from, and we selected partial planning. While most of our vendors were booked already, her services remained extremely helpful. In fact, she saved us she was so helpful that her services basically paid for themselves. She made my vision come to life by taking my scattered ideas and turning everything into a masterpiece in coordinating with every vendor to perfection. Everyone was blown away. She treated me like a queen, and even had her amazing assistant Ronnie serve the groom party the ENTIRE day. Hands down the best decision I made with this wedding. We communicated daily. Every day. All day leading up to the event. I feel like I made a true friend in Mandy and I know that she will treat whoever her next clients are just the same. ♥️

We used Mandy and Events by Rainstein Design for Day of Coordination services for our wedding in February 2024.

I think of myself as an overall organized person - so I initially thought I was hiring Mandy and her team just so that my mom could relax and enjoy my wedding day (as she is often one to try to coordinate logistics, but I really wanted her to enjoy the day). In the end, and in reality looking back after the wedding, I truly did not realize how absolutely invaluable Mandy and her services would be, and I do not know how I would have gotten through our wedding day without her!!

Leading up to the event she was incredible with her communication and organization, was a sounding board and voice of reason, was in touch with all of our vendors, and had me thinking of logistical items I would not have otherwise to be extra prepared on wedding day. On the wedding day itself she kept us quietly on time - not barking orders or rushing people along, but quietly making the day flow perfectly. She thinks of every.single.thing the couple and family / friends may need and has it somehow magically in her bag. Her behind the scenes work was truly behind the scenes -- while I know looking back she was in touch with a million people throughout the day to keep things smooth, to me on that day she just had a calming presence and made it look and feel so relaxed and simple.

I cannot thank or recommend Mandy's services enough - our wedding day truly would not have been as enjoyable as it was, if she were not a part of it!!

Planning a wedding in the city is no small feat. We could never have had the most amazing wedding without Mandy. Her pleasant, calm, reassuring organized nature are the real deal. Her attention to detail and confidence help alleviate any worries if the day. We used her and her assistant as a day of coordinator but she checked in several times during the planning months with specific meeting calls. She has a time line that does not fail. Trust her,she is prepared for it all. She is so well connected. She was sure to provide us with the best resource’s available in the city.

As a friend said, who also used Rainstein design, “having Mandy being your coordinator allows the bride and MOB to feel what is like to be a guy at the wedding. All you have to do is show up!!!! Lol. She truely takes care of it all. “. My husband even commented that it was the best money spent as he saw how relaxed I was and able to enjoy every moment of our daughter’s wedding weekend.

So no matter how organized you think you are you still need Mandy.
Thank you Mandy for sharing your talents with us. Make her your next call. She books up quickly.

Mandy! She's the best. She was with me in the planning process from the start, and she ensured that my vision came to life. She was especially helpful the month of, and day of, our wedding. She kept me on top of everything with gentle reminders the entire month of our wedding, and created the most amazing color- coordinated schedule. She personally communicated schedules and plans with other key vendors, such as photographer, videographer, and content creator. The day of our wedding she was a true superhero! She made sure that we were on time for everything (a miracle for me and my husband). She ensured that both the ceremony and reception ran according to plan, and also ensured that we had all of the moments that we communicated were important to us. Mandy is truly an amazing wedding planner- she is personable, sweet, intelligent, attentive, and efficient.

I wish that I could give Mandy more than 5 stars. She was the BEST wedding planner I could've imagined working with. She was prompt, great at checking in, and amazing at helping with whatever I needed. She provided clear checklists for each month leading up to the wedding and answered any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, Mandy was on it from the start of the day until the end. Anything that we needed, any questions from vendors, she was there to answer and assist. I HIGHLY recommend Mandy for any event needs!

If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further! We used Mandy as our day-of wedding planner and we cannot recommend her enough! Wedding planning can be overwhelming at times but having Mandy there as a resource made the entire process so much more enjoyable! She coordinated with all of our vendors and created the timeline so we did not have to worry about any logistics. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and Mandy was a big reason for this! We could enjoy the entire day and take in every moment (it goes by quickly!) Outside of Mandy being so kind, organized, flexible and a joy to work with, she also goes above and beyond in so many ways. Just a couple examples, my mom's dress had thread come loose and before we could even ask for assistance Mandy was there with a needle and thread (she has a magic fanny pack that is filled with anything you would need in an emergency :)) Our day was perfect even though it rained the entire day. The weather shifted our photo location but we trusted Mandy's recommendations and we couldn't be happier with how all the pictures turned out. If you are lucky enough to work with Mandy on your wedding day, I promise you will not regret it!

One of the things my wife and I often joked about while planning our wedding was the fact that we weren't going to get a chance to learn from our mistakes. I don't know how many times I said "How am I supposed to make this decision without trying it out first?" and "How do I know if what I'm doing is going to be good or not?" And that's exactly why you hire someone like Mandy.

I'll be honest-- I was a skeptic about wedding planners at first. I was like "I'm sure we can figure this out on our own." I was wrong! As we got serious about planning, three things came to light: First, we didn't know what we didn't know. Second, I thought it would be easy to make decisions about my own wedding, I'd been to around 15 in my life and thought I knew what I wanted. The reality is it is WAY harder to make a decision when it's your wedding. It's the reason doctors don't operate on their own family members, there's too much emotion wrapped up in the decisions, and the pressure to make something perfect drives you into analysis-paralysis. Third, my wife and I both work full time, which meant that planning the wedding (which was like a part time job in itself except you pay other people lol) took up a lot of our free time. It meant that a lot of our planning time, ironically, was spent learning HOW to plan a wedding. Mandy was able to take all of this pressure off so we could focus on the creative decisions.

Mandy has an incredible eye for design and a wealth of experience to execute on it. She knows all the great vendors in Philly and where to get the best materials. She worked with us to stay within our budget and gave us tons of options to choose from. She read all our vendor contracts and kept us on schedule over the course of the *year* we spent planning. Probably best of all, Mandy is great at saying "no" to things that don't fit the overall vision for the wedding. It's hard to see the forest through the trees sometimes when you spend this long planning, and she does an amazing job keeping the big picture in view. And even when she says no, she still understands the intent behind the idea, and comes up with creative alternatives that DO accomplish what you want, in a way you may have never considered.

What's more important though is that Mandy is truly a wonderful person. From day one, we got the sense that this was more than just a "job" for her-- she genuinely wants you to have the best day of your life, and she wants to help make it happen. In the final weeks leading up to our wedding, Mandy was so much more than just our planner-- she was our coach, our mentor, our sounding board, and our cheerleader. What's even more impressive-- every once in a while she would casually mention another wedding she had done recently, leaving us wondering how she could possibly spend this much time paying attention to us and still have the energy to manage other weddings. And she's a mom. She must have a twin or some sort of superpower or something. She's just incredible.

Finally, I do not know how we could have possibly pulled off the timeline that we had on our wedding day without Mandy. One of the questions I got ad nauseam from my married friends and relatives was "So, anything go wrong yet? Something ALWAYS goes wrong." Well, if it did, I sure didn't hear about it. Mandy managed the setup at the venue, the vendors loading in and out, she managed the timeline for my wife, brought an assistant for my timeline, made sure all of our wedding party and parents were in the right place at the right time, coordinated the photographer and driver so we could hit all of our must-have locations in under an HOUR between the ceremony and the reception... honestly I don't know how we could have managed all of that AND still had the time to enjoy ourselves. And that's really the thing you need to try and preserve on your wedding day-- you want to actually enjoy the thing you've worked so hard for. If nothing else, Mandy can make that happen for you.

Mandy, thank you so much for everything you did for us. Words can't express our sincere gratitude for all of the weekend texts, the last minute video chats, the in person meetings with the venue, the rehearsal, and the wedding. We are just in awe of you and quite literally could not have done this without you. Everything was magic!

My sister's baby shower was a day to remember! It was hosted at a local venue for the convenience of family and friends, but we needed help executing our overall vision. Mandy not only provided guidance from start to finish, but also made all the beautiful themed centerpieces and a custom backdrop for the shower. She was great with communication and so sweet that it felt like I was planning with a friend. On the day of the shower, she arrived early with all the decor, set everything up with ease, and also helped manage other vendors. She really paid attention to detail, and it made more of a difference than I realized it would. I learned so much from Mandy during this process! Everything was perfect, our guests were so impressed, and my sister has not stopped talking about how amazing her shower was!
