Lydia is the most professional and fun coordinator you could have!

Lydia and I met to discuss what exactly I would need on the day of my wedding. She took detailed notes and made sure that vision became a reality. She helped me stay on time and organized throughout the day, and made sure I had a little fun too! While I’m sure she had many other clients at the time, I felt like she was attentive to my questions and she made me feel like I was the highest priority every time we spoke. She will take care to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch!

Great wedding planning for Mackenzie James Weddings and Events LLC


I chose Lydia for wedding day management.
Lydia was amazing, I would recommend her to any upcoming bride.
She is beyond helpful, she has a lot of experience and helped me fill in the gaps during the final months of planning. She also took a lot of the weight and stress off my contacting all my vendors, and letting them know of all the logistics of the wedding day. She is also extremely organized and the way she organized and presented the information was very helpful and straightforward.
The only feedback is she is very Type A, my wedding party thought they were being bossed around a lot. I would just recommend her to be a little more fluffy. Other than that, Everything went smoothly during the wedding day, we had no big hiccups or delays.
Lydia will take the reigns, so you can enjoy and have a beautiful day!

Would tell a friend! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our experience working with Mackenzie James. Our day-of coordinator, Lydia Foster, went above and beyond to make our special day run so smoothly. Lydia was on top of the ball when coordinating with our vendors allowing us to move on to other tasks before the wedding. She ensured our day ran seamlessly by keeping everyone on our timeline. Lastly, she was a tremendous support in collecting, setting up, and breaking down our decorations. We would highly recommend Mackenzie James for any couple looking for day-of planning.
