Staci and her crew are the best!

We can’t say enough good things about Staci. Leading up to the big day, she was so consistent about meeting with us and was always so professional and prepared. On our wedding day, we felt so relaxed because we knew Staci and her crew were handling everything! Staci did an amazing job of letting me vent to her and assuaging any concerns we had. From day one Staci just understood my vision in a way that felt like she just might be in my head! I would 100% hire Staci again for any events!

10/10 Recommend

I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Staci with Unique Weddings & Events. From start to finish, she was an absolute pleasure to work with - professional, friendly and so much fun! Her attention to detail was truly impressive, and having her by mu side took the stress of planning a wedding off of my shoulders. She handled everything flawlessly, making sure every aspect of the wedding day was perfect. It's clear that she know exactly what she is doing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond!

Dream Wedding! UNIQUE Weddings & Events is A+++++

Staci and her team are incredibly thoughtful, talented, professional, and caring. They walk you through every step of the process and always think outside the box. My Wife and I did not want a traditional wedding. Staci listened. She formulated a variety of fun and creative ideas that helped bring our dream vision to life. We could not be happier and are so grateful we hired Staci. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more and we forever owe Staci for being there every step of the way. She is a must hire!

Having a Wedding? Get Staci.

Sometimes other couples come to us and ask: what did you do to have a wedding that beautiful, unique, and fun? How can we make our wedding like that? I have one piece of advice for them: get Staci at your side. Staci at Unique Weddings and events can make any dream you have of a wedding come true. She works within your budget, on your schedule, and she will make it all happen magically behind the scenes. My job on wedding day was to look good and show up. I knew everything else would be taken care of. Whether or not you want a standard beautiful wedding, or something off the beaten path (ours was a fantasy/Lord of the Rings wedding) she will do everything to make it beautiful for pictures and fun for your guests. She's good in a crisis too - the power went out at our venue for a large chunk of time, and by the time she checked in with us she had already made contingency plans with every single vendor and had a plan to make our wedding be seamless even without power. Throughout the entire planning process, she made us feel like we were her only clients in the world. I seriously could not recommend her more.

One of a kind, thought provoking, open, communication... What could be better?

When I went into this wedding planning process, I was a little blind to all the many ways a wedding could go. Staci helped me to see the ALL the ways that a wedding can be planned and I am so eternally grateful to be able to have planned a wedding with her. She has to be the most flexible person on this planet, because I went back and forth constantly on plans and she didn't even bat an eye! She helped me to understand that everything in the process is mobile and can be tweaked and adjusted or completely abandoned if need be. Staci was always available to me, whether it be questions in regard to vendors, or how to respond to family members appropriately, she always came thru ! There was no question or feeling too small, she helped guide me thru the process with grace and expertise.

A huge bonus of having Staci plan your wedding is her eye for design. She turned our reception room into the magical wonderland of my dreams. She has a huge knack for understanding mood, design, themes, etc. We loved our decor and floral arrangements!

Out of all the vendors to have on your team, I cannot recommend Staci enough. Everyone left the wedding with vibes they could feel weeks later! & that is absolutely priceless.

Professional

We are so thankful for our wedding planner, Staci. After one conversation, I could tell she wanted to make our visions a reality and put a unique spin on our wedding. She was thoughtful, SO RESPONSIVE, professional and tried to put out any dilemmas/issues that occurred along the way herself before coming to me. I can’t understate that last part. And that’s exactly the person you want managing your big day. She was kind, excited and I really loved having her as our wedding planner. Not to mention, her prices are more than reasonable for the outstanding job that she does. Thank you Staci!

Staci is the best in the business!

Staci Mandikas, owner of Unique Weddings + Events, is the best in the business. Creative, experienced and detailed, Staci knows how to orchestrate the perfect wedding. She kept everything moving from start to finish in planning all the way through to the day of the wedding. She comes highly recommended, has extensive contacts and collaborates professionally with all vendors and all other involved. Her design ability is phenomenal. Staci seamlessly handled details so that we were able to relax and enjoy the day. Everyone fell in love with her. We are forever grateful for Staci and her team. She is top notch!

Weeding Planning Ninja

Unique weddings made my wedding an absolute fairytale of a day. Staci took amazing care of us and her attention to detail was off the charts. She's always on top of everything, is a pleasure to work with, and is great at dealing with people (even problematic family members LOL). My day was so perfect thanks to her; I could never have planned something this complex on my own, despite being a big planner in other aspects of my life. She helped to make the process as stress-free as possible, and is overall a wonderful person to have around, bringing loving support and positive vibes wherever she goes.

Staci is amazing! She will bring any idea to life in a way you could not imagine. She is super creative and organized. What sets her apart from others is that she is a designer. She creates the impossible with stunning concepts and design. We worked together on a large scale high end wedding on a very short turn around timeline, and she and her team knocked it out of the ball park. That wedding was published internationally, due in part to her great work! You will love her upbeat and get it done personality. If you want to have a wedding day where you do not worry about one things, she is your girl!
