Mandy is the best!

Mandy is the absolute best wedding planner ever. She is so on top of things and fun to work with. She really gets to know you and your partner to make the most unique wedding possible.

She is so creative and brings all of her knowledge in to make a phenomenal wedding. When speaking with all of our vendors, they constantly raved about how amazing she is- that she was very on top of everything, gave them all of the information they needed, and worked well with them. She also has such an extensive fund of knowledge since being in the wedding industry- she knows when things need to be done and has many recommendations for vendors to use for each aspect. She also came to all of the meetings and made sure that we asked the important questions when choosing vendors. She has a timeline to follow and great online tools to help with all aspects of the wedding.

She is incredibly responsive- i could text her at any time and email her and she always got back to me right away. She is also just SO FUN!!! She makes planning a wedding exciting and fun, even amongst all of the stress of it.

On wedding day, she was calm and remained very on top of things- she and her team had anything we needed at all points, including safety pins for last minute bridesmaids dress alterations and bandaids when I cut my arm!

She helped me to make all of my wedding dreams come true!!! We had the most perfect wedding and so much of that is owed to Mandy. Everything went perfectly, including our epic arrival by boat!! I owe so much to Mandy and if you want an EPIC wedding, go with Hummingbird Bridal & Events!!

The best planner in the business!

Mandy and her team are absolutely the best in the business, and I am so grateful that we were fortunate enough to have Mandy plan our wedding. On top of being one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, Mandy is the utmost professional, the wedding therapist I didn't know I'd need, exceptionally innovative and creative, honest and transparent, and a perfectionist when it comes to the details. I loved the planning process, but I had a really hard time articulating vague ideas into specific wishes. Mandy brought everything to life in the most beautiful way. Her personal relationships with the best vendors ensured that our vendor team was outstanding. We simply could not have asked for a more perfect and beautiful day. It was important to me that our guest experience was personalized and thoughtful, and Mandy prioritized this from the outset. It came to life in the very best of ways, and our guests are still reliving every detail even one month later! Our wedding day was totally stress free, because every single detail had been attended to and was being overseen by Mandy. I could not have imagined being more relaxed on my wedding day! We will forever hold our wedding day, our garden party, as the best day in our lives to date. If you have the chance to work with Mandy in planning your wedding or event, take every advantage of it! It'll turn out to be the best decision ever.

Amazing planner---even better person

While my fiancé and I only ended up working with Mandy for a short time due to unforeseen circumstances, I can tell you that you want Mandy planning your wedding. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, networked, and talented with planning, she is a GOOD person who makes you feel valued and appreciated in the wedding process. In an industry that is ridden with vendors and venues constantly churning out impersonal products, Mandy takes true personal investment into her clients to plan a perfect day. Choose Hummingbird bridal---you will not be disappointed!!

A Wedding Beyond my Wildest Dreams

Mandy and the rest of the Hummingbird Team are the best!! From the very start, she was a joy to work with. Although I knew how I wanted to feel on my wedding day (at peace, joyful, surrounded by people who I loved), I didn’t know how to make that happen on my own – the number of decisions that I had to make were overwhelming, and I wasn’t sure how to create a clear vision for the day. Enter Mandy. From the beginning, she excelled at taking my (often) vague ideas and translating them to a clear and exquisite vision that beautifully reflected both my husband and I. Every detail of the day captured us as a couple – I truly believe that our guests were given a beautiful glimpse of who we are and the love that we have for one another, and much of that is credited to Mandy’s exceptional skill at planning a perfect day. Her recommendations were always spot-on, and she consistently ensured that every choice made connected to my husband and I’s specific character and taste. The vendors she recommended were fantastic to work with, and on the day of the wedding I felt like there was not a single thing for me to worry about. Mandy and her team took care of all of it. At one point, my mom said “I must be the most relaxed mother of the bride in all of history!” Everything was perfect, and it would not have been possible without Mandy’s exceptional service.

Everything was Perfect.

In making his recommendation of Mandy to me, my cousin, a previous client of Hummingbird said, "best money I ever spent." I could not agree more, our daughter's wedding indeed was perfect. We would change nothing. In particular, our wedding was challenging in that my wife and I would be hosting a wedding in Rhode Island. We live in Seattle, Wa. Working with our daughter and her fiance, Mandy handled everything. The wedding was magical and most importantly completely stress free. My wife and I were able to sit back and fully enjoy the biggest day of our daughter's life.

Best Wedding Decision We Made

Hiring Mandy was the absolute best decision that my husband and I made in planning our wedding. I reached out to around 6 wedding planners at the beginning of the process. Mandy was the only one to answer the phone, respond to my emails in a timely manner and provide valuable guidance before we even hired her. Once we brought Mandy onboard as our planner, the impeccable service continued and she made the whole process stress free and fun! Mandy listened to our vision for the day, provided us with curated vendor recommendations who were both in budget and would understand our tastes and then attended each vendor meeting with us to ask the tough questions we would have never thought of. As our wedding day got closer, both of us were extremely busy with work and Mandy was able to execute on all of the details with little help from us. She also handled the day of execution flawlessly with members of her team. All of our vendors were well coordinated and everyone was put at ease. If anything went wrong, we didn't know about it! Our wedding design was unique and not cookie cutter at all. Hire Mandy, you won't regret it!

Experience of working together with the #1 Wedding planner

I have been officiating weddings for over 30 years and I have found that an attentive, professional and considerate wedding planner can make a tremendous difference in the tone of the wedding day. I highly recommend Mandy as a wedding planner. She demonstrated these qualities and more which made my work easier, allowing me to relax and perform at my highest possible level. Thank You Mandy!

Hiring Mandy was the BEST decision we could have made for our wedding. We were interested in having a venue that was not cookie-cutter and decided to go with a historic mansion. Making this decision, we knew that we would need to bring in all outside vendors and that we would need someone who is a powerhouse in coordinating people and working with vendors. After interviewing other planners, we knew immediately after meeting Mandy that she was the best choice. Other than being warm and becoming our immediate friend, she also knew the industry well and it was clear that she would go above and beyond to meet any and all of our needs.

Going through the planning process with Mandy kept our stress at the lowest levels possible for wedding planning. She spaced out our decision making so that we could enjoy each step but also made sure that we had plenty of wonderful vendor options inside our budget. For each vendor that we needed, Mandy asked what we wanted and then matched us with a few options that met our price and desires. This made our job very easy as all we needed to do was show up to the meetings she scheduled and enjoy getting to know different vendors. We were honestly so impressed by every vendor that she sent us to and in the end we were thrilled with all of our choices. We believe that this was the most valuable part of Mandy's help. It saved us tons of time of research and kept the focus on the enjoyable parts of wedding planning. No matter which vendors we ended up with, we trusted that Mandy sent great people our way and that they would do a great job on our wedding day.

On the day of, we had no responsibilities or concerns. Mandy had done such a great job of communicating and coordinating with us and our vendors so that there was no stress leading up to the day. It was very easy to disconnect from the planning and focus on the day knowing that she was behind the logistics. We can't thank Mandy enough for everything she has done for us!

I wish there was a 6 star option for Mandy and the Hummingbird team.

I've been fortunate enough to DJ several weddings over the last few years that Mandy has coordinated and run the show from start to finish. Even more fortunate that Mandy has been kind enough to actually recommend me for those weddings & connect me w the couples.

If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner/coordinator - honestly look no further. Mandy and her team (shout out to Kenny - THE MAN) - they are 100000 percent amazing to work with. Very professional with every single detail for your big day but also on top of that - they're just FUN to be around. Not stuck up and stuffy at all or a bad attitude - they plan out every single thing you can imagine and bring every idea you have to life for your event - I've seen it time and time again & hope to see more of it in the years to come.

As a DJ who is super organized myself - I LOVE and cannot stress this enough how thorough Mandy is w details. Timeline of every single thing happening for the day - even if it involves you or not - she sends it over to every vendor so we are all on the same page - I mean we are all there for the same reason anyway to deliver the best service possible for clients & Mandy makes sure that happens. She puts everyone at ease with her calm demeanor and is so go with the flow if any changes need to be met or adjusted last minute.

Bottom line: if you are in the position to hire a planner - do it and don't think twice. Mandy will make your event the most amazing and memorable experience and she is just an awesome person you'll most likely end up becoming friends with her during the process.

Cheers to Hummingbird Bridal for kicking ass!

As a makeup artist and beauty services company owner, I frequently communicate with wedding planners. The goal is to coordinate the day-of schedule with them and work together on booking trials, adjusting timing and answering questions for the bride. I think most couples want a wedding planner who is organized. They want someone who has a sense of urgency and knows how to prioritize. Yet these are the areas in which many of the planners I have worked are weak in. It’s always baffled me because an unorganized, procrastinating planner is the opposite of what most couples look for in a wedding planner. But then there is Mandy. That rare unicorn of the wedding planning industry. When Mandy checks my company’s availability for a bride, she gives me all of the information I need. She gets back to me quickly, she follows up and she is not the type of planner who emails me 12 hours before a wedding to ask for my timeline for the first time. She relays information to the bride and coordinates everything so that the weddings we do together go smoothly. All of Mandy’s clients who I have worked with absolutely love her, which comes as no surprise. Mandy is professional, efficient, creative, easy to work with and fun. If you book her for your wedding, you’re going to want to be friends with her not just because she made your day run smoother but because of her personality, sense of humor and obvious love for what she does. I will continue to send brides to Mandy because I know without a doubt that they are in good hands.
