Mia Kartsonis and her team went above and beyond for our wedding. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She is phenomenal! Hands down-best wedding coordinator ever. Mia helped make my dreams come true. She guided me from the very beginning and always made sure that all concerns and questions were answered in a timely manner. She is kind, competent and easily puts you at ease when the wedding planning becomes stressful. She will take care of anything that you may be worried about. Mia will talk to vendors and make sure that you get the best deal possible. Unfortunately, my father passed during this time and Mia was the sweetest most compassionate coordinator ever. She sent me flowers and told me to take my time to mourn, which really helped get my life in order at the time since now I had a funeral to plan as well.

Anyway, my wedding was just five days ago and everyone is still raving about how beautiful my wedding was. People have said that it was 'one of the best weddings' they've ever attended. Thank you, Mia!

Also, Mia has a decor rental available for every package, which can save you $100's on decor that you will only need once for your wedding. Mia also uses a wedding planning platform, Aisle Planner, which helps you and her stay connected during the planning process. You are able to view your venue's layout, arrange tables, seats/guests, and timelines all in one place. This is a wonderful tool for people like me, who love to stay organized. This helped tremendously! She was able to view my changes and vice versa. Another cool thing that Mia provides is a detailed 3D view of your venue and the decor discussed. It really helps see if your tables/decor is what you envisioned. Anyway, if you want a stress-free wedding, hire Mia and her team! You will not regret it.

Mia and Hugo were truly exceptional - from the planning conversations and logistics leading up to the event, to the day-of event coordination. They were warm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and helped us enjoy our day to the fullest, knowing they had everything under control. Would highly recommend!

We cannot recommend Mia enough! She is organized, creative, and calm under pressure - exactly what you want in a wedding planner. Mia took the time to truly understand our vision and then made it even better, offering thoughtful ideas and solutions we never would have considered.

Throughout the planning process, Mia kept everything on track and made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless and fun. She recommended incredible vendors (especially catering & DJ!), negotiated details we didn’t even know to ask about, and managed our budget with complete transparency.

On the wedding day itself, Mia was a superstar. She anticipated every need before we even voiced it, handled last-minute hiccups with grace, and made sure we were free to soak in every moment. Our guests have been commenting on how seamless and beautiful everything was and that’s all thanks to her.

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, kind, and truly passionate about making your wedding special, Mia is the one. Our wedding was perfect largely because of her efforts and we’ll be forever grateful.

Kudos to you Mia !!!! We love everything ❤️
I was so happy with the outcome . Highly recommend....
More power and God Bless you .

I would highly recommend anyone who is planning their wedding to hire a planner. It was a pleasure working with Mia, she was very responsive and helpful. I love that she can always give me great advice when I’m indecisive. Our wedding was postponed for three years! And she helped us rearrange everything three times. She’s great!

From our first call to the actually wedding day, Mia and her team were amazing! She was so professional and organized. She was so kind and remembered details about the ceremony and planning that I even forgot that I mentioned. On the day of the event (my wedding) I felt so at ease and comfortable because I knew that Mia was there for me! I highly recommend her and her team for any and all of your party planning/event needs.

I could not have asked for a better wedding planning experience. Mia created a fun and easy space for us to work together and make my dreams into reality. She is responsive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and creative. I am still in awe with the way everything turned out. It was smooth and extremely special, and I owe that to the Pastiche Event crew. A big perk to booking with Mia is that she has a decor inventory list that is complimentary. It really helped with cutting costs down!!

Mia Kartsonis and her assistant Hugo of Pastiche Event Productions made our destination wedding in Solvang, CAlifornia run so smoothly and without a hitch.

We really could not have asked for a better “Day Of” team. They handled all the details of our wedding with such care and professionalism. During the planning process, Mia was attentive, communicative, and took care of everything right away with the best “can do” attitude. She also headed off any foreseeable problems during setup and scheduling. We knew she had the experience we needed for our event to run smoothly.

For example, on the day of the wedding, the wedding cake arrived without any of the decorations that were clearly detailed in the contract. Mia did not miss a beat and called the baker and made sure that the cake was fixed to perfection.

Hugo was the perfect assistant with is experienced in florals. Mia and Hugo both stepped in when I needed help with the set up of the garlands on the alter rail in the church, when having them fully arranged before travel was not going to work after all. And the way they arranged the flowers there — and later placing them at the reception was quite the sight to see and just perfect!

We could not have executed this wedding day without Mia and Hugo and definitely would recommend them to others wishing to plan a wedding or event. We will be forever grateful that they were our team!

Mia and her team are top notch. From the moment you hire her, you will feel a weight off your shoulders and see everything fall into place. We hired Mia 10 days out from our wedding as our original event coordinator wasn’t being as responsive as we had hoped and it was leaving us stressed out and anxious. Mia immediately hopped on a call with me that lasted well over an hour and jumped in and took lead on everything from the coordination of the DJ, string quartet, catering and rentals to ceremony timeline and all the little details in between.

Aisle Planner is the primary software her and her team use and it’s a great addition to see everything from high level as well as to be able to drill down into the details. We were doing a wedding across the county and had never seen the venue in person, and this software really helped us visualize the day and collaborate with Mia.

Mia truly went above and beyond. I had a specific whiskey I was looking for and she went herself to pick it up from the store. She always texted and emailed back right away. The day of the rehearsal, we noticed a few items at the venue were not up to par and she immediately went into action and handled them and made adjustments on the fly.

We had a lot of very specific requests, some on very short notice and she made it all happen.

On your wedding day, you want to feel at ease and like everything is being handled so that you and your guests can have the best time. Mia and her team will make you feel that way.

Mia and her team were simply phenomenal. We hired Mia for day-of coordination two weeks before our wedding, after having to dismiss our original coordinator. Mia stepped in with an incredible amount of dedication, insight, and patience. Her approach of using the Aisle Planner website to create our timeline, arrange our floor plan, organize our guest list and vendor contacts, and keep notes, all with the ability to make live edits, was seamless and drastically lowered the stress level for my mother and me. She was attentive to detail, asked all the right questions to make sure we had what we needed for each part of our wedding, and made helpful suggestions along the way. She ran our rehearsal well, navigating endless questions from our family with patience and grace. On top of all that, she executed everything on our wedding day beautifully. She set everything up hung up just how I had envisioned, and I couldn’t have been happier with how smoothly the evening ran. My husband and I didn’t have to think twice about anything and were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding with our family and friends because we knew the evening was in Mia’s capable hands. A HUGE thanks to Mia and her assistant for making the wedding of our dreams come true!! :)
