    Best Ever!

    Heart of Harlow was one of the best decisions i made for my wedding! Mandy made everything so easy and simple for me. I did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day and that was so important to me. She took care of everything, from setting up and putting away, to coordinating with other vendors for the day, and executing a perfect timeline. I cannot recommend Heart of Harlow enough!! Easily one of the best vendors I had for my wedding!

    Pleasant and Professional

    Mandy was excellent in communicating to the vendors, wedding party, and guests as well as managing the wedding day schedule. She is also very calm and pleasant to work with which eased anyone's nerves about the big day.

    My wedding day was perfect, thanks to Heart of Harlow

    Mandy did an amazing job as our day-of coordinator to help the day go as smoothly and stress-free as possible. So much so, that we specifically received compliments from guests of how helpful she was. From set up, to cue-ing each member of the bridal party to walk during the ceremony, to keeping us (bride and groom) on track and aware of each scheduled event, the day could not have gone any better, thanks to Heart of Harlow!

    Hire Heart of Harlow if you want a wedding magician and a BFF

    Mandy (& her team) were incredible to work with. Her energy, personality, and attention to detail/style make her the ultimate coordinator trifecta. Not only did she make it easy, but she made it fun! She understood my wedding vision immediately and took the time to send me ideas/images to keep it affordable and still chic. If you're looking for someone who you not only feel like you can trust but that you genuinely want to be friends with - Mandy (Heart of Harlow) is your gal!

    So glad we found Mandy!

    Mandy was amazing. We are so happy we found her to help coordinate our wedding. We are from out of state and Mandy was available via text, email or phone calls to answer any questions and give suggestions. We had to find a last minute indoor venue and Mandy made sure we were taken care of without having to worry about our special day. She has the most positive attitude and is great to work with! Book Mandy now so you’ll be stress free on your wedding day. -Kate & Keith Short

    Valuable and the key to the OBX wedding day!

    We are from Tulsa, OK and were looking for someone experience in the OBX to assist us with details and running the wedding day. Mandy was fabulous and helped us with ideas/suggestions, contacts, vendors, outlines, and she definitely was a huge help with family dynamics as well. Although our group was small, the rehearsal and wedding day went smooth for all! After the rehearsal meeting (it was short but valuable) my husband asked, "Where did you find Mandy? She's the key to tomorrow, and worth every dime!" Thank you Mandy!

    I could not have made it without Mandy!

    I cannot recommend Mandy enough. I hired her as a day planner for my daughter's wedding. We had to move the wedding from June to August due to the pandemic, which was nerve racking enough. We also could not physically make it to the venue or meet with vendors before hand due to the pandemic and family issues.....and we live in the midwest.

    Mandy took control right away and was incredibly helpful when we had to reschedule the wedding. She developed the time line and made sure all stuck to it.

    It rained hours before my daughter's outdoor wedding. Mandy was very reassuring the entire time. The rain stopped....but the wind kicked up, causing problems with our centerpieces and the tule runners that pooled at the bottom of each table. The wind blew the tule off the table and overturned some centerpieces. Mandy got to work right away improvising as the knowledgeable professional she was. She used twine that we were using for our decor....and tied the tule to the ends of the tables....it looked lovely. She kept everyone on time and activities moving forward. She was the only one of us who could figure out how to bustle my daughter's wedding gown! She gave me piece of mind so I could enjoy my daughter's wedding, instead of worrying about all the details.

    I was on the fence before mandy arrived as to whether or not I wasted my money....boy, was I wrong. We honestly would not have gotten through without her. Her knowledge and quick thinking is top notch and although she is very professional, she is also very personable and was a joy to work with. I would recommend booking Mandy right away. You will not regret it!

    She's a Magician!

    Like watching a Magician, I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes of our wedding, but everything on the surface was incredibly magical! Did I know Mandy asked her assistant to run to the store because we didn't have certain items for our signature drinks? Nope. Did I know all of the things she had to do and coordinate to bump up our wedding by an hour and 30 minutes because it was going to rain on our beach wedding? Nope. But it all happened! From our beautifully set up table settings, to her giving me her earring post to fix my broken wedding earring right before I walked down the isle...to making me a plate of sushi and serving me as I entered our wedding tent (hello, since when does the Bride ever eat!) She made everything as PERFECT as can be. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!

    Not to mention, our wedding was supposed to be on September 7th...but then got rescheduled due to hurricane Dorian! All the chaos she endured at that time, to then thankfully being available for our new date. Whew, she's seriously an Angel!

    Mandy also made our beautiful welcome's sign with her gifted hands! (see photos)

    Thank you Mandy for making our day as special and memorable as it could possibly be!

    Dream Day of Coordinator!

    I hired Mandy @ Heart of Harlow for my day of coordination at my wedding in November. Mandy worked with me before my wedding to create the timeline, but had a prior obligation on the day of my wedding, so Chelsea & Evan were there that day - they were ALL fantastic!!!

    If anything went wrong that night, I had absolutely no idea. They did an incredible job and helped make everything beautiful. They were perfect about executing the time line without making me feel rushed. They went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and with the set up & breakdown too.

    I truly cannot say enough great things about them & would hire them over and over again!!!!

    Thank you ALL! ❤️

    My wedding was a dream!

    Heart of Harlow were so helpful and made everything a dream! It was so beautiful and has me in awe that my vision came to life perfectly! (were they in my head?! lol) I’m so glad they encouraged me stick to my original view about the lounges and decor. Everything was so beautiful!

    Mandy, Chelsea and Evan were BEYOND helpful! I really was able to enjoy my wedding and not worry about a single thing. I’m so grateful for y’all!

    Beautiful Signs

    Mandy was by far the BEST vendor I worked with throughout my wedding planning journey. I had no clue what I wanted my wedding signs to look like, I just knew that I wanted something timeless and elegant and Mandy was able to take that and create two beautiful signs that I can hang in my house. She was so easy to work with and provided me with great feedback on how items will will turn out (Pinterest vs. reality). She even went to a vintage store and found two mirrors to use - which I LOVE. She is so creative, talented, easy going, and the sweetest person! You won’t regret working with Mandy!

    Got married 10/06/19

    If you’re getting married, you need a wedding coordinator- Mandy. I have told so many people that our day only went as well as it did- we were able to FULLY enjoy our day- because of Mandy & Chelsea. Mandy was so helpful the whole wedding process. Being in PA planning a wedding in NC, isn’t the easiest thing, but Mandy was there every step of the way. We had Mandy the entire day-12 hours. She brought me a coffee the morning of while I was getting my hair done, checked in & got all of our wedding things. She went to the beach access & set up; set up at the venue & then delivered our flowers to us as we were on the beach taking pictures. When I say she set up at the venue, she did everything! We literally did no assembly of the venue or beach, & actually didn’t see any of it until I walked down the isle & when we were introduced to the reception! THAT is how much I trusted her & knew we were in the best of hands. She was outstanding! Mandy even saved my life towards the end of our reception when my gown strap BROKE! Yep, freakin broke Hahahah. I rushed to Mandy & she immediately stitched it back together!!! No one even knew I was gone for 3 minutes & no one could even tell it was stitched. Thank God for her! Like I said, if you’re planning a wedding, you NEED Mandy!

    The best!!

    Mandy and Chelsea were so wonderful to have as our day of coordination team. Mandy developed our timeline and knew exactly when and where vendors and everything needed to be. It was a huge weight off our shoulders to have them there, and a bonus they knew our venue well! If you are questioning day of coordinating I would say YES it’s necessary and Heart of Harlow would be my number one choice! Not only are they very organized and creative but super sweet as well! Thank you Heart of Harlow!

    You need this wonder-woman on your wedding day! Mandy made my sister's special day (and months leading up to it) seamless, not to mention BEAUTIFUL! Her calm demeanor kept the bride at ease, and her "get it done" mentality left us feeling confident that everything would turn out just at planned. She kept the day and night running according to schedule so that we were completely free to enjoy every moment and let loose. Thank you, Mandy!

    Exceptional!

    Mandy was a pleasure to work with, she is so organized! Prior to the wedding I filled out a form that gave me an idea of the timeline - I'm so glad I did this as I had no idea how fast time would fly the day of the wedding! We had a phone call to do a run through beforehand just to make sure everything was checked off. Mandy and her team arrived right on time and set everything up, checked in when needed and helped with the overall flow. After the ceremony she brought us down some food to the beach so we didn't miss out. I can't recommend Mandy enough for your day of wedding planning needs!

    i Was worried about rain not anticipating a hurricane - Mandy to the rescue!

    Mandy made our wedding happen! On Monday 9/2 around 4 PM, we found out that we were being evacuated. At that point I knew our dream wedding was not going to happen. Mandy has been in contact previous to this to see what we wanted to do. At 5 pm on Monday, we decided that we wanted to get married at our original place on the beach, but we needed to move everything to the next day at sunset! Mandy was on it immediately and had all our vendors coordinated for the next day. She took pieces of what I had unpacked for the reception and made our wedding still feel special and beautiful. Our friends all remarked at how hard she worked and how beautiful everything was. I thought I would need a day of coordinator to make sure my now husband didn’t worry and in case of rain, not thinking hurricane. She made my wedding feel stress free for me even when it should have been crazy stressful. Also, she is easy to talk with and you feel comfortable around her.

    Only if you want your event to be PERFECT!

    We've worked with Mandy from Hearts of Harlow on several events and can honestly say that her attention to detail and professionalism is what you want in an event planner. Her ability to execute a perfect event is a perfect example of why hiring an event planner is so important. Not only does she take the guess work and stress out of the occasion, she's a pure joy to work with. Look no further. She's the real deal.

    Day of Coordination

    We hired Mandy for day of coordination and couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! She was quick to respond to all of my questions, kept everything organized in a Google sheet and made the whole process of putting my day together very simple. Planning a wedding from afar presented some challenges, but it put my mind at ease knowing we had someone local designated to handle all of the vendor arrivals/set-up, staging of all the things and keep us on schedule.

    It turned out that Mandy and I are from the same area and she was able to meet me for coffee while in town to coordinate someone else's wedding. It was so nice to meet her in person and run through everything a few weeks before our wedding! The fact that she made extra time for me really meant a lot. She is extremely personable, organized and creative. In retrospect, I wish I'd hired her to do more than just day of coordination!

    Due to the size of our wedding she brought a helper who was so sweet and awesome. These ladies worked their butts off to make sure everything went smoothly and I was so grateful to have them. If you need a wedding planner, day of coordination or just some really beautiful signage/paper goods/table settings, Mandy is your girl.

    Excellent, amazing, professional

    We consulted Heart of Harlow for multiple aspects of our big day and are so happy we did. We wanted to try and save some money by doing most things by ourselves but we realized that we needed help with some thing that sometimes you just need experience with. Great listeners, great creativity, and above all great people. Love love love.

    Best Wedding Coordinator

    Mandy and her team were rockstars in helping coordinate our vendors and on our wedding day! I hired Heart Of Harlow as my day of coordinator and was expecting that while Mandy and her team helped coordinate final vendor details that mostly they would just be present on our wedding day. Well the day before the wedding I was informed that I didn’t have 2 permits I needed- 1 to have music and 1 to serve alcohol- and to say I was panicked was an understatement! I called Mandy and from afar at a conference she solved all of my troubles and coordinated with her team and everything was resolved and my guests were none the wiser! So so thankful! This is such a great team that truly cares about making your day special for you, your groom, and your guests!

    Creative, professional, and personable. 10/10!

    Mandy was nothing short of excellent when it came to helping with our special day. Her creativity shined throughout the ceremony and reception spaces, and it was clear that she took the time to understand my wife and I, and our vision for our special day. Forever grateful to Mandy and Heart of Harlow for helping create the best day of our lives.

    Heart of Harlow is a MUST!

    Mandy and her team were absolutely incredible! At first, I was not planning to use a day-of wedding coordinator for my wedding this November, but I am so glad that I did - it is a must! Mandy was organized, creative, stylish, and easy-going. I fully trusted her to set-up our wedding tent as she saw fit. She definitely has a creative vision of her own, but she also listened to what theme/style I was going for and carried it out just right. Because of her excellent time management and communication skills, everything went off as scheduled and flowed just perfectly the entire night. She offered great advice and important suggestions as we began setting up the day-of timeline. Lastly, it was such a weight off my shoulders knowing that Mandy was there to handle anything and to make me feel at ease!

    Heart of Harlow's reply:

    Paige!! Thank you for the sweet review! It means the world to me that you took the time to write a review. We loved working with you and thank you for trusting us with your big day! It was beautiful and you chose a perfect location that fit your vibe perfectly! Keep in touch

    WOW! Mandy felt like a friend you've known forever in seconds and brought me so much peace on my wedding day. She isn't your typical coordinator...she's BETTER. Everything was perfect for our 10/20/18 Koru Beach Club wedding in Avon. She decorated our tables, danced with guests, she made sure our vendors received meals, and she took care of anything and everything anyone needed..especially me :). Advice to any bride planning their OBX dream wedding...Mandy and her team have you covered, they are professional and will make sure your wedding moves as smooth as possible...so no need to stress about anything with them.

    Kelsey!! Loved working with you and your mom! Your tropical vision was so beautiful and fun, it was a pleasure working on setting up the details you guys collected leading up to the big day! Glad you are close and we can keep in touch!
