Amazing Job!

Our wedding day was absolutely seamless thanks to our planner. She not only assisted with setting up the decor but also ensured every detail ran smoothly from start to finish. Professional, detail-oriented, and wonderfully personal and truly the best planner we could have asked for!

Day of coordinator

Mandy is absolutely amazing. She is the kindest soul and incredible at what she does. She is patient, helpful, and such a hard worker. It felt like I had a friend as my coordinator because she was just that easy to click with. Mandy made our day beyond perfect and I will be forever grateful that we used her.

She is amazing

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.

The best ever

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!

Take 3 COVID wedding!!!

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.

My Fairytale Wedding

Mandy and Happily Ever Harlow was one of the best purchases we made when it came to our wedding day. Mandy was professional, full of ideas, affordable, and so kind and personable. She provided us with realistic expectations and gave great advice. I literally could not have done it without her. She is punctual, organized, and efficient. We are so thankful we met Mandy and she was a part of our wedding!

They Love What They Do!

I have attended two weddings planned by Happily Ever Harlow (one was my daughter's). Happily Ever Harlow also coordinated another wedding I attended. As a guest, it appeared that every detail had been planned impeccably to allow the ceremony and reception to occur flawlessly. One wedding even included the family dogs - with no mishaps! Happily Ever Harlow appears to love what they do and give great attention to every detail.

Beautiful weddings

I have been to two weddings planned by Happily Ever Harlow and they were both absolutely beautiful! The events themselves ran smoothly. Her attention to detail beforehand is actually almost clinical it’s so precise. She has an eye for what works well together and what doesn’t, and she wouldn’t have any trouble sticking to a theme. The outcome on the day of is breathtaking. You won’t regret having her be a part of your special day!
