The best decision we made!

I was so impressed with Mindy as she worked with our son and Daughter-in-law to make their day perfect! She listened to their ideas then brought them to fruition beyond what we could have imagined. She was respectful of their budget while making everything look top notch. Mindy’s connections with vendors was invaluable. The day before setup and day of coordination was a lifesaver. It allowed all of us to not worry about a thing and fully enjoy the most amazing day. I highly recommend Mindy and her team - a true professional!

Mindy Made Our Lake Winnipesaukee Wedding Truly Magical

If you're getting married in the Lake Winnipesaukee area, look no further – Mindy is the absolute best wedding planner you could ever ask for. She went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more.

Mindy completely understood our vision. She knew where we wanted to invest and where we could save without compromising on what mattered to us. Her expertise shone through in every recommendation – she guided us to the perfect vendors, ones that matched both our style and our budget. She was so experienced and insightful, making every choice feel easy and aligned with what we wanted.

We were fairly relaxed, but we had strong opinions on certain things, like the decor, and Mindy just *got* it. She connected us with the right people to bring our vision to life. Even with many voices in the planning process, Mindy made sure everyone felt heard and helped us make decisions we were all thrilled with. She never once made us feel like we were asking too much or being annoying. In fact, she made the whole journey enjoyable.

Mindy also went out of her way to make sure our guests had an incredible time. She knew exactly what would make our wedding feel special and fun. For example, she organized a "ring for a drink" station that our guests absolutely loved, and insisted on a Polaroid guest book that turned out to be a huge hit. She even had a perfect sense of timing for the flow of events, like the order of dances, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

Her DIY skills were incredible. Mindy made our programs, which looked like they came straight out of a Ralph Lauren restaurant. She also created the "ring for a drink" stand herself and carefully transported it to the venue. If we really wanted something specific for the decor, Mindy either found it at an affordable price or had recommendations on how she could DIY it. Her creativity and resourcefulness made everything look stunning without breaking the bank.

Our guests were just as impressed as we were. Mindy made everyone feel accommodated and cared for – she arranged golf carts for anyone who needed assistance around the venue, set up welcome and snack stations to make sure everyone knew what was happening, and even worked with the venue to make sure every guest had a perfect experience, from boat rides to accessibility needs. People raved about her; she was the behind-the-scenes magic that made our wedding feel like something out of a Pinterest board.

Thanks to Mindy, we were able to truly relax and soak in every moment of our special day. She’s not just a wedding planner – she’s a miracle worker. If you’re getting married in the Lake Winnipesaukee area, trust me: you need Mindy. She’s simply the best.

Mindy rocks!

Mindy was a huge help with making our day so special! She is detail oriented yet sees the bigger picture. She knows just what to ask each vendor you're working with, has great connections in the Lakes Region, is creative, and very communicative! Mindy and her team truly take care of everything so you can focus on celebrating your relationship.

Mindy Made Our Day Perfect

My wife and I live in Boston but wanted to have a barn wedding in the New Hampshire Lakes Region. We found our perfect venue in Sandwich, NH and Mindy came recommended by the hosts. Over the next year of planning Mindy made sure that our day was perfectly planned, and our vendors knew exactly what was expected of them. Day of, Mindy and her team went above and beyond making sure everything ran smoothly and looked beautiful, I'm sure there is plenty that we didn't even know about that she handled for us! She cares deeply about each one of her events, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get married in NH!

Wedding at Squam Lake

Mindy was so much fun to work with. She seems so relaxed but behind the scenes she has every detail covered. Her knowledge and connections were invaluable for us as we planned an out of town wedding. When you plan a wedding at a lake…with the service on an island…and the reception in barn, you need someone to navigate all the coordinating details from busses to boats to when to throw the bouquet! Mindy and her team were on top of it all. She’s professional and knowledgeable and fun!

The best of the best

We utilized Mindy's month of wedding coordination services but she stepped in so much earlier to help us make every detail perfect and make our vision a reality. She was incredibly reliable and very communicative - always available over text or call and at any time of day.

We chose Mindy for several reasons, but one area we were particularly excited about was her experience to help coordinate and communicate with our guests regarding lodging arrangements and payment. We had a very unique setup that required a lot of communication, answering guest questions, etc and she handled it like a pro. This was tremendously helpful so that we could focus on other wedding details and saved us a ton of time and effort.

Mindy was also a great resource for us with design and decor ideas and I felt confident that she could execute on anything I asked her to do. The photo backdrop and place card display that she built for us turned out perfectly and having her take on all of our day-of stationery was a life saver.

She worked very well with out other vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. Most importantly, she made me, as the bride feel very comfortable that I could trust her to take care of every little detail and handle any issues that came up during the week and day of the wedding. She made sure that everyone had what they needed during the event and took special care to attend to my every need including helping me with my change of shoes, finding any item I needed, and guiding us every step of the way.

I was so sad to say goodbye to Mindy after our wedding day because it was so nice to get to know her throughout our planning process.

So Easy to Work With

We would have been a ball of stress and anxiety without Mindy. We had originally reached out to her based on a friend’s recommendation and while we initially didn’t end up hiring a wedding planner, she took time with us to discuss our plans, vision and offered advice on things to consider. Fast forward 16 months, 3 weeks before our wedding. Mindy had heard from our florist that we were having issues with our venue and offered to help be our day of coordinator (on her birthday no less). Her attention to detail, upbeat attitude, knowledge of weddings and the industry were a breath of fresh air. She knocked it out of the park helping to setup our venue and we couldn’t have asked for more. If you are in need of any services related to wedding planning, I would whole heartedly recommend Mindy and her services.

Mindy is AMAZING! Could not recommend Private Weddings and Events more highly!!!!!

We had the absolute BEST experience working with Mindy! She was the true superstar and MVP of our planning process and day- we could not have done it without her! She was absolutely integral to creating the vision for our day and executing it seamlessly. From selecting a venue, to hiring vendors, to design, to set up, to handling communications, to managing *near* snafus, to day of pacing - Mindy was there through it all with outstanding insight, advice, professionalism, expertise, and FUN. She really took time to get to know us and our likes/dislikes- it was such a collaborative process and she truly anticipated our every wedding need! She is an excellent communicator and expert- she 1000% is someone you want by your side (and on your side) during planning --especially in the Winnipesaukee region. We had to contend with COVID during our planning process and we were not local, so the trust we built with Mindy REALLY carried us through. Not only was our wedding the most perfect and wonderful day (and beautifully paced)- beyond what we imagined- it was STRESS FREE because we knew we had Mindy! My whole family misses working with Mindy and we are forever grateful and thankful for her. She helped make our wedding vision a beautiful reality. For ANY OTHER EVENT NEED- Mindy will, without a doubt, be our first call :). THANK YOU, MINDY!

Thank Heavens for Mindy!

There aren't enough superlatives to describe Mindy and what she means to our family. Our daughter and her husband were (finally) married in June of 2022, their third try due to Covid. With a wedding planning period that ended up spanning three years, I honestly don't know what we would have done without Mindy. She kept us on track, she calmed us down, and she shared her wisdom and many, many talents. Her vendor recommendations were spot on, and she had an answer for all of our questions and concerns. She got us on a manageable timeline and kept track of when vendor payments were due, and what needed to be decided and done when. Communication with her was easy, timely, and fun! Making things even more difficult, the wedding weekend events were held in three different locations, and Mindy somehow magically made sure that all the logistics ran smoothly. Her day-of schedule was a pages-long organizational masterpiece! Our reception venue caused us a ridiculous amount of stress in the three months leading up to the wedding day, due to staff and management issues (we went through three venue event coordinators there over the three years, and the last one, unfortunately, was basically incompetent). Our reception would most certainly have been a disaster without Mindy going above and beyond the call of duty that night. She was everywhere all day, smoothing out any issues that cropped up and making sure that everyone and everything was taken care of. She has an eye and talent for making everything stunningly beautiful, and we couldn't have been happier with the day that she put together with us and for us. All of her other reviews say it all...Mindy will be the best decision you will make as you plan for your happy, joyous day. She became family to us, and what says more than that?
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
