Words cannot express how grateful my mother and I am for Mandi. I can't recommend her enough to any couple seeking a relaxing, hiccup-free wedding experience. Mandi offered valuable advice while respecting our unique vision and preferences. Her wealth of knowledge in the industry is unparalleled - she effortlessly coordinated with vendors, managed the timeline, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Her impeccable organizational skills made a significant difference - especially because I consider myself quite disorganized! We were able to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration, knowing that Mandi had everything under control.
I could not be more grateful for Mandi. Not only did she coordinate my wedding day, she also helped me tremendously leading up to my big day. Mandi was always a phone call, email, or text away. She was always quick to answer and offer her best advice. Mandi was hustling in and out of my house to make my vision and dream wedding become a reality. If you are planning a backyard wedding like I did, please let Mandi coordinate your day for you. Sit back, relax, and let Mandi make your day unforgettable like she made mine!
Absolutely LOVE Mandi. She has been so much more than just a DOC. She has been in contact with me since I booked and has been here for me every step of the way. She goes ABOVE and BEYOND for all of her clients. She responds so quickly and has been so great at communicating and humoring every single question of mine. She made me feel so eased during the entire wedding process. Not only is she amazing at her job and making sure your day goes smoothly but she does it with the biggest smile on her face. She truly loves her job and making her clients happy and you can see it in her work. She was so detailed oriented! It has been an absolute delight to work with her and I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!
