Happily Ever Harlow

Mandy was absolutely AMAZING and you can tell she loves what she does and is invested in making your day perfect. Her questions are so thorough as to not leave any detail out and she makes sure everything is exactly how you want it. She was there every step of the way making sure we ran on time and was even able to have a little fun herself (my family may have forced her on the dance floor with us). She made sure that everything was exactly how I wanted things to be. If you are looking for an amazing planner that will make sure your day is everything you wanted, you found her.

Many is the best ever. She is detail-oriented, friendly, and calm. Our day would not have been as successful without her. I will also never get over the fact that she literally sewed my dress on me when the strap broke before my ceremony. Cannot recommend her enough!

If you are looking for a complete wedding planner or just a DOC, my family and I highly recommend Mandy. Long story short...

Ryan and I were suppose to have our wedding and reception in May 2020 at The Atrium in Wilmington and their director was suppose to be our DOC.

COVID had other plans so the wedding and reception was pushed to October. Long story short, weeks before the wedding, we had to find a new location for the reception, and a new coordinator for the reception.

I knew Mandy from work and had attended a beautiful wedding that she planned the prior year. I was already aware of her professionalism, detailed eye, thorough communication, and time management skills.

So of course Mandy came to mind. We had just a few weeks and still looking for a reception venue when Mandy agreed to take over the coordination. Any bride knows wedding planning is stressful and then you throw in a pandemic and, well, you can only imagine.

Mandy handled everything with such grace especially with the time limit and taking over something she didn’t necessarily start off coordinating. There were many holes to fill quickly and she did it all with grace and without hesitation.

She was affordable, too. I enjoy planning so I never needed a full wedding planner. It can be difficult to find someone just for a DOC, but she had no problem doing just the reception, considering we had already paid for someone to coordinate at The Atrium without refund.

I look back and the only regret I have is not having her along for the whole planning adventure. She really saved the day. We will forever be grateful for Mandy picking up the pieces and making a masterpiece.
