About

Mindy & Co. Events is a wedding planning service, based in Westlake Village, California. Owner Mindy Stageland is an experienced event professional that has served events of all sizes and styles. Mindy and her team are dedicated to helping you bring your wedding dreams to life, from the most extravagant displays to the most intimate details.

Planning the details of your wedding is such an exciting time. We know that there is a chance you have thought about this day for awhile. It is important to us to make sure that your dreams become a reality, but more importantly, you enjoy that reality. Let us take the stress out of the planning and leave the dreaming to you. We believe the key to this is to build a solid foundation of reliable vendors, a practical timeline and a realistic budget. Whether you’re starting from scratch, overwhelmed in the middle, or wanting a little support at the end, we are here to ensure you and your family enjoy yourselves on the big day.

Mindy started her journey many many years ago when she worked as an assistant for Tracy and David Murdock. Her time spent with the Murdock family taught her so much about how to be successful, how to treat people, and how to anticipate the needs and wants of others. She traveled the world meeting people from other cultures and backgrounds. Spending time with two such extraordinary role models was the catullus she needed to become the person she is today and gave her the confidence she needed to start her own business. Knowing what it takes to have a great event is something Mindy has collected through experience but it is her passion for helping others create memories that is the most important part of her business. Before starting her own company Mindy was an onsite coordinator for over 500 events at Malibu's Calamigos Ranch. At Calamigos Mindy was again blessed to be surrounded by so many strong and inspiring business role models. She has helped hundreds of Brides over the years, all from different back grounds, and many different budgets. Mindy has a great energy and an even greater work ethic. She is always smiling and always there for her couples.

excellent communication & easy to work with (:

My husband and I were so happy with our day-of coordinators, Teri and Mindy. We felt like they went above and beyond our expectations in terms of how well they communicated with us preparing for the wedding. On the day-of, they made sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule (: We did run behind schedule later in the evening (as expected with any wedding, mostly due to some family drama), but they managed to get us caught up because they were very efficient at getting all of the vendors on the same page! We got so many compliments from our wedding party and guests saying the flow events appeared very smooth, and there were very few, minor hiccups, which is a huge accomplishment for a wedding in my eyes! I can honestly say I don't think our wedding day could have gone any better, and it would not have been possible without our coordinators working so hard to make sure everyone knew where to go and what to do. I also greatly appreciated their attention to detail, they set up my decorations exactly how I requested and even provided a checklist of items for me to hand to them at the rehearsal. This was such a lifesaver, we would not have had anything to cut our cake with had they not lended us their knife and server! Cannot recommend Mindy & Co Events enough!

Best decision ever

Hiring Mindy and Teri was the best decision I made during my wedding planning. I hired them as the "day of coordinators" but they went above and beyond to help me the whole year before the big day. They helped me with things I would never have thought of and can't thank them enough. The wedding at Calamigos Ranch (Oak Room) was perfect because of them. Don't hire anyone else. They are the best in the business.

The best coordinator ever!

Mindy and her team are simply the best! She is experienced, warm, friendly, fun, thoughtful, a problem solver, gosh, we can't say enough about her. Planning a wedding is a massive undertaking. To think that we ever thought we could do this alone is insane. Without Mindy, there would not have been an event, let alone an amazing evening under the stars with our family and friends during a pandemic! She responds to ever challenge with a gameplan and ideas that will keep the train on the tracks. On the day, she brings her A-game and takes care of every single detail. Literally! We are so blessed and consider ourselves lucky to have had the chance to work with Mindy. With everlasting love, the clunes.

We hired Mindy as our day-of wedding coordinator for our Indian/Filipino/Salvadorean/New Orleanian NYE wedding of 450 guests. We had to do our homework beforehand in terms of arranging our vendors and all the main details. A couple weeks before the wedding, we started to discuss with her what we had in mind and she took it from there. Mindy was the glue that kept our wedding running smoothly. I cannot imagine what it would have been like without her. She went above and beyond what was required in order to make the weekend memorable. What stood out was her calm and cool demeanor in the face of what felt like utter chaos at times. She handled 2 days complete with a full Catholic mass and Mexican buffet lunch, an early morning second-line style Baraat with a live band, a 2 hour long Hindu Ceremony with lunch reception, a cocktail hour and reception that lasted until 2am, and my groom becoming ill and requiring some last minute schedule changes. Amazing! In the midst of all her other duties, however, she still made it a priority to check on us and make sure we were fed, that we had drinks in our hands, and that we weren’t worrying ourselves with wedding details. We even had wedding guests tell us how they appreciated her attentiveness to detail and her seemingly superhuman ability to be in so many places at once. It’s the kind of work ethic that certainly shines, and I know the wedding was a success because of it. We would recommend her for any type of event, because she can handle it and turn it into something truly special. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Mindy!

If you are having a wedding at Calamigos-- Mindy is your gal. My husband and I hired Mindy & her team for our full-time wedding planner. We signed on with her about 9 months prior to our wedding date, soon after we signed at Calamigos and she was well worth the $$. Now most brides think they can do it all. I thought I could do it all... yea, no... I couldn't. Mindy is the BEST. She had a lot of vendors to choose from and they were able to work with in budget--and helped us to save some money. She asked the awkward questions for us, and really made us feel at ease. She texted us back in a timely manner, made sure we stayed on scheduled, kept us fed during our wedding, and laughed at our terrible jokes... Mindy went the extra mile and we are so happy we hired her for our wedding.

Mindy killed it as our day-of coordinator. She really kept everything organized with a fantastic attitude. She also really helped even me out when I was feeling stressed out and made sure I sat down to eat instead of talking to people all night haha! My dress got muddy during pictures, and she bustled it herself to hide all of the tulle that had gotten dirty. My fiancé and I couldn't have been happier with how much she helped us. HIRE HER!!

Mindy was wonderful to us before and during our wedding! She definitely knows what she is doing and has it down to an art. We had our wedding at Calamigos Ranch and she was able to get everything done the way we wanted. She was great at communicating with us through every step of the preparation and wedding day. Mindy kept everything on track the day of the wedding and she kept me fed/ hydrated all throughout the night. She was a huge reason we were able to have fun on our wedding and not worry about the logistics or timing. We couldn't have had a more smoothly run wedding without her and Chrissy!

Working with Mindy was the best decision I could have possibly made re: my big day! With a busy corporate job, I had little time to focus on any wedding details - but Mindy made everything so easy and fun that I didn't have to worry about a thing. She linked me with vendors that matched my tastes, was full of suggestions to help make everything even more beautiful, and worked out every single logistic for me to ensure a seamless and perfect event. We have so many friends and family that have commented that our wedding was the most beautiful and memorable that they've ever attended... and I credit much of that to Mindy as I couldn't have ever pulled it off on my own!

Mindy and her team were a pleasure to work with. Planning a west coast wedding when you live in the east coast is obviously very stressful. Mindy was incredibly helpful and a true partner throughout the planning process. She helped me select amazing vendors for decor, floral arrangements, DJ and wedding cake. Leah (Mindy's assistant) was our wedding co-ordinator. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, and left me with such peace of mind both leading up to and during my wedding. They always say their job is to give the bride her dream "stress-free" wedding and they did it. On my wedding day, I didnt have worry about a thing. I had a beautiful and perfect beach wedding. All thanks to Mindy and her team.

Mindy is a consumate professional. Quiet, unobtrusive, she is not a planner who barks orders at you or your friends and family. I never would even know she was there, but somehow everything is done. Her work is superb and she is so warm, kind, easy going, funny, and great to work with! I love her organization and cannot recommend her enough!
