Amazing Team to Work With!!

Working with Mikala as our wedding coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. At first, I was a little skeptical about hiring a coordinator because I thought I could probably handle everything myself, but Mikala made the entire experience so much easier and smoother from start to finish.

She was always there to answer any questions we had at any time, no matter how big or small. Throughout the planning process, she made sure we felt supported, organized, and most importantly, not stressed. On the day of the wedding, I was able to fully enjoy every moment because I knew everything was being handled so seamlessly behind the scenes.

One thing that really stood out to us was how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the entire day. When we arrived at the reception, she already had appetizers and our favorite drinks waiting for us so we could actually take a moment to enjoy everything. Later in the night, we had a variety of ice cream sandwich flavors for dessert, and during one of our previous meetings, Mikala had asked what our favorite flavors were. While we were out on the dance floor enjoying the night, she personally brought us our favorite ice cream sandwiches without us even having to think about it. It was such a small but meaningful gesture that showed how much she truly cared about making our experience special.

Mikala went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and I truly can’t imagine going through the process without her. If you’re debating whether or not to hire a wedding coordinator, do it — and hire Mikala from MAE! You will not regret it!

M.A.E. is Exceptional!

Recently collaborated with Mikala Fox from M.A.E. and she absolutely rocked the event! As a Professional Wedding Officiant, I cross paths with a lot of planners & coordinators, and right away Mikala proved to be one of the best. So organized, so friendly, so dialed in to the details, in-tune with the couple and also ... so chill! You want a coordinator that takes all the pressure off so that you can enjoy being present at your event, and that's exactly what she did. Mikala and Monge Amore are exceptional. Why are you even still reading this - have you booked your event with them yet??

Mikala is truly the best!!

Mikala was our day of coordinator and truly an absolute angel! From our very first Zoom call, she was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about weddings. We immediately knew she was the perfect fit! She went above and beyond every step of the way and made us feel like we were her top priority.
The timeline she created was seamless and kept everything running perfectly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I felt completely stress free because I trusted Mikala and her team so much. On the big day, everything flowed effortlessly, and it truly felt like magic, and that is all thanks to her.
We will always look back on our wedding as one of the best days of our lives, and Mikala played such a huge role in making that happen. We feel so lucky to have found her and Monge Amore Events. We cannot thank them enough for making our day absolutely perfect!

A dream experience!!!!

From the moment I had my first meeting with Mikala at Monge Amore Events it was absolutely love at first sight. We instantly clicked. She made me feel at ease and heard. I had a list of questions for her and she answered them all before I had a chance to even ask them. She is so sweet, so knowledgeable and proactive. Leading up to my wedding, I had zero stress. And that’s all thanks to her and her incredible team. The day of my wedding went amazing. I wasn’t made aware of any issues and I’m sure there was at least one. Because Mikala and her two assistants Regina and Julia absolutely took over. The timeline was flawless, I was able to have the time of my life with not a care in the world. They all take their role extremely serious and will be sure to make your day a dream. There are not enough words for the impact they all had on me. I got so many compliments on how organized the day felt. I can’t rave enough about this group of ladies!!!! You will not go wrong going with Monge Amore Events. Please please please trust me.

Seamless planning and a beautiful wedding day!

Working with Taylor was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she took the time to really get to know us and understand our vision, which made everything feel incredibly personal and intentional.

Throughout planning, Taylor was extremely organized and on top of every detail. She seamlessly handled communication and coordination with all of our vendors, ensuring everything was aligned—from insurance and timelines to setup and rehearsals. We were especially grateful for her familiarity with our venue, which gave us so much confidence going into the big day.

Because of scheduling constraints, I wasn’t able to be involved in any of the setup, so I had to fully trust Taylor to bring everything to life—and she exceeded every expectation. Everything was executed exactly as I had envisioned, down to the smallest details.

Our wedding day felt absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We received so many compliments from our guests, and we truly credit Taylor for making it all happen.

We are so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone who wants a seamless planning experience and a wedding day that feels effortless and beautifully executed. Thanks again, Taylor! :)

Mae = make all events amazing

Taylor surpassed any and all expectations! She was so knowledgeable, encouraging, real, and professional. She stepped in to help before I even knew I needed help throughout the wedding process. She took all of my Pinterest board dreams and made them a reality. I was so at peace throughout our wedding day because I knew Taylor and the girls at MAE could handle it all! I was sad when the wedding was over because I really felt like Taylor became my friend! She still supports me and checks in on me! 🥹🤍🤍

Mikala & Julie are the absolute BEST!!!!!

Mikala & Julia were seriously the best ever and such a lifesaver throughout the whole process. From start to finish, they were super organized, detail-oriented, and always on top of everything but in a way that never felt stressful or overwhelming.

They’re also just genuinely great people so funny, friendly, and easy to be around. They made the entire experience feel fun instead of chaotic, which meant so much to us.

On top of that, they handled all the crazy family dynamics and any little bumps along the way like absolute pros! They put certain family members in their place and put the Bride and Groom first. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because they were so reliable and always had everything under control. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day which was the absolute best and less stressful.

We felt totally supported the whole time, and because of them, we were actually able to relax and enjoy our wedding day. Couldn’t recommend them more. They are truly the real MVP's!!!!!! and we are forever grateful for them!😊❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely Amazing! Made our dream wedding a reality

Working with Ashley and the entire Monge team was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. We initially had trouble finding a planner that could accommodate everything we were looking for but from the moment we met Ashley we knew right away that she was the planner for us!! From day one, she brought an incredible combination of professionalism, warmth, and creativity that instantly put us at ease. Every detail, big or small, was handled with such care and precision that it made us feel so valued and important! We never had a worry working with Monge Amore Events and when the big day came everything went off perfectly! Ashley is truly Wonder Woman when it comes to planning weddings!

What stood out most was their ability to stay calm and solution-oriented, no matter what came up. They anticipated needs before we even realized them, kept communication clear and consistent, and worked seamlessly with all our vendors. On the wedding day itself, everything flowed so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our wedding was honestly the best day of our lives and this is something that would not have been possible without Monge Amore Events

Highly Recommend Working with Taylor!

My now HUSBAND, Micheal and I had the most incredible wedding! And this could only be possible with selecting the right vendor team for us. From signing on with Taylor, to day of execution, she was organized, thorough and efficient. She provided detailed lists and materials for us to consider during our planning process. As a Type A bride her organization was so helpful and clear to help stay on track to wedding day. Her and her husband were such a great team and really helped bring our blended version of classic meets edgy to life! If there were any hiccups that day, I surely didn't know about it, and that is such a testament to her level of professionalism and how the day was handled. Do not skip out on a planner, it is such a relief to entrust a special day with a qualified and professional team. Highly recommend Monge Amore Events for your planning services!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mikala at MAE is the BEST wedding coordinator anyone could ask for!

Mikala is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and truly handles everything from start to finish. I never once worried about things slipping through the cracks because she was always ten steps ahead. At some point, I stopped stressing about the to-do list and just looked to Mikala for what came next because she always knew exactly what needed to happen. Her experience and knowledge were invaluable. Anytime we had an idea or vision, she worked with us to make it happen in the best and most seamless way possible.

Mikala is also so warm and approachable, which made it easy to ask her all our questions (even the dumb ones). It always felt like chatting with a friend instead of a vendor, which made the entire process so much less stressful. Communication was flawless. She replied quickly to emails and texts and was always happy to hop on a call when needed.

On the wedding day, Mikala was the absolute MVP. Every last-minute issue was met with her calm "don't worry, I've got this," and she truly did. She and her team had everything handled so perfectly that we didn't have to lift a finger. We got to enjoy every second of our wedding and literally ride off into the sunset (because they packed everything up for us at the end of the night!!). We will forever be grateful. So much love for Mikala! 💕
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
