Hannah Sent on 09/19/2022Miranda is Great!
Miranda and Team are great! They went above and beyond to make our wedding amazing. We found her on a facebook group and spoke with her about what we wanted out of our day. She is very detail-oriented and made sure that everything we wanted happened. Miranda was very communicative and helped us find all the vendors we needed and even found someone last minute for us when our videographer backed out of our contract. She had a fix to the problem prior to presenting it to us. Our day would not have been what it was had she not helped us plan. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted and more thanks to her! -

We absolutely LOVE Miranda and her team. Not only did she manage our daughters wedding, she also managed the rehearsal dinner. They catered to our every need with going above and beyond in many instances. Miranda attended vendor meetings, and was completely organized with every detail we gave her. We had hundreds of little details and she didn't forget any of them. We HIGHLY recommend Miranda Madison Events! She does not disappoint! -

Kayla Sent on 10/05/2021WOW I am so glad they were there…
We are both such organized, type-A people so we originally though “no we got this on our own.” BOY am I glad we decided to hire the MME team 30 days out from our wedding because I can not imagine our day without them. Shannon was incredible! She was my sanity, and I wouldn’t have left my venue with my own head attached if it weren’t for her. If you’re in doubt, book them! You won’t regret it, promise. -

Miranda and her team were absolutely amazing! She and her team were so help throughout the whole process. Miranda made us feel super comfortable and like we have been friends. She and her team made sure that myself, husband and our guest were having the best time. Would definitely recommend Miranda Madison Events for your wedding but for any party or event! -

My husband and I planned an out of state wedding ( we are from California and got married in Arizona) like many other brides we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid. When it was time to start getting back in the swing of wedding planning we hired Miranda and her team! I’m so happy we did! They were so helpful ! -

Nicolette Sent on 10/30/2020Run, don't walk to hire Miranda for planning/coordinating your event!
I want to start this review by saying that I only hired Miranda and her team for day-of coordination and I wish I had hired her for full-service planning! She made everything in the last week of our wedding go SO smoothly that I cannot imagine how much easier the planning process would have been if I had just brought her on board earlier. Suffice to say, you should certainly consider her full-service planning package.
That said, where can I start with Miranda? We could not have made our day work without her support.
A few weeks before our wedding, Miranda set up a call to go through all of the details - a list of vendors, important people, our preferred drinks (important!), the timing of everything from makeup start to final dance - everything! From there, she built a timeline that she reviewed with me to make sure was correct, and we were off to the races!
She even went out of her way to pick up everything we needed for the day of the wedding (centerpieces, card box, signs, masks, etc) the day before the wedding. This helped our whole bridal party and family relax, as no one else was responsible for loading things into or out of the cars in our nice clothes.
Before we arrived, Miranda and her team were hard at work putting our centerpieces together. They only needed a bit of assembly, but the results were absolutely stunning. This is one thing that you don't always get with a venue-supplied coordinator, so it was worth every penny we paid Miranda to have that taken care of. Her team went above and beyond to use our extra materials in unique ways that I don't think a florist or venue coordinator would have thought about.
Miranda ran our day-of rehearsal like a pro. She's clearly done this for a lot of weddings, and it was nice to have someone on-site who could wrangle everyone and get a bit of practice in. It made me feel even better that she was the one cueing us to walk down the aisle just a few hours later - a nice bit of comfort in a moment of high anxiety.
I had also asked Miranda to do something extra for us, which she handled with no issue. We wanted to stream our ceremony on Zoom for those who couldn't join in person (#covid), so I gave her my phone and some instructions to get everything set up. She got the Zoom running without a hitch in the best possible location (good viewing for our virtual guests without obstructing the photographers at the event).
During the reception, Miranda checked in with us occasionally just to make sure everything was okay. She brought us some drinks at one point (it's so hard for the bride and groom to get away!). One thing I loved is that she was able to re-purpose some leftover roses from our cake flowers to make a toss bouquet (something I NEVER would have thought of!) so we didn't have to destroy our gorgeous flowers from Conway Floral Design.
The nicest thing about all of this is that we just really had to show up on the day of and flow from one event to the next. She had even taken the time to print off small versions of our timeline and have them stashed in the bridal suites for everyone to review and have. She took care of distributing all of the gratuity envelopes to the right person and collected any important items for us (venue invoice, marriage license, etc.) and safely secured them until we were ready to leave.
Speaking of getting ready to leave...when the event was over, I went back to the bridal suite to change out of my gown and into something more comfortable for the car ride home. When I left the reception space, everything was still on the tables - vases, candles, flowers, etc. I got held up for maybe 15 minutes talking to a few guests, and when I returned EVERYTHING was put away. The venue was even putting away the last few tables by that point! As promised, Miranda had started loading what she could early on, and it was all done so fast that we barely had time to think about it. I've heard horror stories about bridal parties spending hours after the end of the wedding loading stuff into their cars, but that didn't happen here - all because of Miranda.
If there were any problems on the day of, I certainly didn't hear about them. This is Miranda's goal - she wants to be the person to hear and solve the problem without bothering anyone during the event. I felt a lot more secure knowing that she was running the show.
And this brings me to a really important point: even if your venue coordinator says they can do all of these things, I would still consider hiring a day-of coordinator (specifically Miranda Madison Events). Here's why: when you hire Miranda and her team, they are there to represent YOU. They are your voice to all of your vendors. You probably wouldn't represent yourself in a court of law, so why do that on the day of your wedding? We felt so much better knowing that Miranda was there to be OUR advocate, above all else. We loved our venue coordinator (Duke is a pro!), but we still wanted to make sure we had someone who could take care of things that Duke couldn't. That's where Miranda came in.
Miranda does really incredible work in all facets of her business. I have firsthand experience with her balloon arch and wall creations, and she clearly has an eye for creating a lovely and cohesive event. I regret not hiring her for full-service planning, as her prices are really reasonable and she clearly has a knack for putting events together.
Whether you need full-service planning, day-of coordination, or something in-between, Miranda and her team are the ones you should call. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding.
The photos included are intended to represent the magic that Miranda's team did for our tables - they took our vision and made it even more luxe. The linens were from Southwick Linens, but the vases, floating candles, and eucalyptus were all ours. Notice how around the sweetheart table, Miranda's team added additional rose petals, eucalyptus stems, and vases to really up the ante for the table. I don't think anyone else would have done this. It was more perfect than we could have imagined. -

Leah Sent on 06/02/2020Amazing event coordinator!
Miranda is a life saver! Planning mt husbands 40th birthday would have been a nightmare if it weren't for Miranda and her team. She took care of everything so I could relax and enjoy the day. Do not plan a big event with her help! My guests raved at well organized yet relaxed everything was. I wasn't running around like a crazy person trying to make sure everything was perfect because Miranda made sure it was! I wish I could give her 100 stars! -

Justin Sent on 11/19/2025If you have a vision, be wary of overconfidence. Take 'we can do that' with a grain of salt.
Month of package review for wedding coordination. We had 1 lead, and two assistants. The most important thing I would advise, is to temper your expectations and be wary of what they may say is achievable. If you put a lot of effort and thought into decor, and details etc., they might be overly confident on their ability to properly execute your vision.
Our venue was outdoors, with 3 primary focal points/areas: ceremony site (meadow), reception tent, patio deck for cocktail hour.
For both the ceremony site and reception tent, additional help from wedding guests was needed, as ceremony site setup wasn't completed by the time guests were arriving.
Both sites had several errors: 'reserved' signage missing from front row of ceremony seating, hurricane candles placed up to altar (should have stopped at front row; caused issues with breakage due to movement, and placement with bridal dress train), reception table decor missing (runners), improper placement of items etc. We had a whole table setup for coffee and s'mores, but the tiered display stand we had for the s'mores wasn't put together and they were placed on guest round tables instead of the designated side table.
The biggest failure for me however was in the cocktail hour, and our bar setup on the raised platform (patio deck). I took a lot of time setting it up myself as most I could before I had to start getting ready, with the expectation that they would complete what was needed so that it would be ready to go when guests came back from the ceremony.
This was not the case.
This is something they should have been handling during the ceremony. It was very embarrassing for me, to hear from several and I mean probably more than half our guests, about how they were confused to find no drinks out or in ice chests or everything just in disarray when they arrived at cocktail hour. They had to take it upon themselves to start things going and placing stuff where it needed to be.
I spent a lot of time the nights prior making ice balls for my specialty cocktail, and they weren't even out in the designated ice bucket, nor were orange peel garnishes put out which I spent time making that morning, or my wife's custom cocktail drink put together either. The bar was as I left it, from what I could tell, meaning had I not set it up as much as I had, then it would have been completely bare; all these details were laid out in an intricately detailed wedding binder my wife had put together, that the MME team had digital access to almost 2 weeks in advance, and physical access to the day of, allowing plenty of time for reference and time table planning.
I didn't even realize guests were unaware of these things being missing (i.e. ice balls, orange peels, specialty cocktails) until I went to the bar later in the night to get myself a custom drink only to find things as they unfortunately were. We ended up with an inordinate number of surplus beverages as well and I can't help but be certain, this wouldn't have been the case had everything been out and ready for guests at the start of cocktail hour as they were supposed to be.
This led to waste in time and money, outside of our MME bill.
The biggest issue and frustration for me in this regard, is had I only known or it been communicated to us at any point, that the team wouldn't be able to reasonably accomplish this portion of the work, or any other, then I would have asked some of my friends for assistance beforehand, as they all were offering the night before. I just wanted them to be guests however, and naively it seems, assured them I'd be fine as we have 3 coordinators who'd be handling everything.
There were also delays and issues in dress bustling (40 min!) for my wife, which took away from valuable time spent together and enjoying the wedding.
Other errors include utility cart left out by dance floor, wrong tablecloth (round) used for DJ table (rectangular), no tablecloths used for cocktail tables, some items not used at all (left in boxes), flowers not placed on welcome sign, sweetheart table setup incorrectly, backdrop used incorrect number of drapes, wrong drapes used for ceremony arches
MME did offer a cold refund for $850 off the $2200 total which certainly was appreciated but doesn't offset the errors, disappointment and embarrassment which left a bad mark overall. -

Maria Sent on 10/31/2025Still getting calls/texts from our guests about MME team messing up
I am so completely heartbroken by our experience with Miranda Maddison Events. We had hired them for the month of plan, and our Lead MME was Maddy with 2 additional helpers. Maddy was assigned, I checked MME website and notice she was not listed as a Lead, but a "helper". I went to Miranda and she assured me that Maddy was fully capable and has been with MME from the beginning, just had to scale her hours back due to school, and that this was not the first wedding Maddy led. I can't help but be certain this was not only Maddy's 1ST wedding, but she was completely incapable. I wrote a wedding book, detailing EVERYTHING. It was 43 pages, with contact info, decor picture references, recipes for our specialty cocktail drinks at our self service bar, which table cloths go on which tables, inspo pics, candle placement, ceremony site decor details. I sent this to Maddy as a PDF form 2 weeks before our wedding, and my groom gave her a bound hard copy at the time he arrived to the venue for set up. Set up started at 12:15PM, guest arrival was at 3PM. When people started arriving, there was no MME greeter at the parking lot like it was discussed. We got married at Arizona Nordic Village, which had its ceremony site in a meadow about 200yds from the parking lot. Our guests wondered the venue and eventually found the ceremony site. When they arrived at 3PM, nearly 3 hours after the MME started? MME greeter was at the ceremony site- still setting up. Our guests immediately started helping set up, in their fancy clothes and all. We discussed that the ceremony site be completed first in our timeline. When I started walking down the aisle, I was immediately concerned about the candles that were bunched around the arches, not placed at all the way I put in the book. It took me out of the moment and gave me anxiety. When I got up there, my mom- not knowing what to do, just lifted my dress on top of the candles to lay out my train. I guess I was thankful the MME team never actually lit the candles, but that was also something they were supposed to do. For formal photos, MME brought our dogs to the ceremony site- not wearing the tuxes I had steamed for them the night before. When guests arrived to cocktail hour- Nothing was set up. No ice in the buckets, no chilled drinks, our specialty cocktails? Empty dispensers. Cocktail tables covers? In the box. Since we had a self service bar, all these things were to be done by the MME team. Our guests, some having warm beers, started pouring ice in coolers. No champagne. Everything in boxes. I am completely embarrassed. Maddy? In the main lodge on her phone. We make our grand entrance, a wagon left at the dance floor by the MME team. Its in all our pictures. They put a 5ft round table cloth for the rectangle 6ft DJ table. Maddy and the MME team did NOTHING according to the book. I spent weeks on that book, just wanted to be a guest at our wedding was too much to ask from MME. ALL of our floral decor minus the arch flowers our guests set up, still in boxes. Sage runners, lots of our candles and hurricane glasses, still in boxes. Miranda refunded us coldly $850 after being told I was "blowing up her phone". I'll end this review with saying everyone will tell you "No one notices the things that go wrong on your day" but we had just about 80% of our guests complain to us ON OUR WEDDING DAY, and still receiving calls and texts about it. -
