From our first meeting, it was clear that she was not only organized but also genuinely passionate about making our day a memorable and enjoyable experience for us and our guests Patty was incredibly attentive to our vision and offered invaluable support to align that vision with communication across several vendors. I should also highlight our wedding was a destination wedding in Kauai, that required an extra level attention that she mastered perfectly. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. Communication was seamless throughout the 10 month planning timeline which made the entire process stress-free. We were able to relax and enjoy our special day, knowing that Patty had thought of every last detail and had everything under control. Thanks to Patty at Edify, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. I highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and reliable wedding coordinator!

We worked with Megan for YEARS planning our wedding.

Megan, you exceeded my wildest expectations. There's no way we can ever properly thank you for everything you did and put up with, but I promise we are gonna try! We have so much love for you in our hearts and souls. Thank you for making a dream we didn't grow up thinking we could have even 10% of come true. It doesn't feel real

Megan did an incredible job with our wedding!…read more We got so many compliments both the day of and after, and everything went very smoothly which was great cause I'm normally an easily stressed person so I was definitely a ball of nerves on the day of. Our wedding was a little complicated and out of the norm because we had tons of subtle, nerdy references but Megan helped make sure everything went exactly as planned. :) Her recommendations for various vendors also were spot on: we loved our caterer, photographer, etc. It was a relief knowing I could ask, "Hey do you know a good X?" and trust that whatever she came back with would be a great choice. Also! If you're getting married at Nestldown like we did, I honestly bet there is no better wedding planner for that particular venue. She knows that place really well -- I mean like, SUPER well -- so that helped a ton with planning and logistics too!

From the moment Victoria stepped in after my original planner had to withdraw, I felt like I could…read morefinally breathe again. What could have been an incredibly stressful process turned into something I truly looked forward to each week. Our planning chats became such a fun and creative outlet for me, and she understood my vision so completely that every mockup she showed me blew me away. As an anxious, type-A bride, having someone so responsive and reassuring (even answering late-night texts) made me feel fully supported throughout the journey. On the wedding day, Victoria went above and beyond in every way. She was there for every moment, literally helping me with dress changes and jumping in to smooth out any little inconvenience before I even had to ask. She even thought of things I never would have, like packing two extra meals for me to take home (because she knew I probably wouldn't eat enough that day) and making sure our cake was wrapped and delivered so we could enjoy it after the wedding. Thanks to her, I was able to be completely present and stress-free, and our family and guests kept telling us it was the best and most well-planned wedding they had ever been to. I'll always be grateful to her for not only bringing my vision to life, but also for caring for us so thoughtfully every step of the way.

To those who are reading this review, I'd first like to congratulate you on your engagement!…read moreSecondly, your search for a wedding planner stops here because Victoria is YOUR GIRL! Victoria is talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before... (basically, she's the entire Lady Gaga meme). I looked into a wedding planner shortly after booking our venue, as things started to feel 'real' and were moving quickly. I had a tons of ideas in my head but didn't know where to start when it came to tying them together. Outside of ideas and aesthetics, plans/vendors/contract agreements seemed to keep changing, and changing, anddd channgginnnggg due to COVID. Hiring Victoria gave us the peace of mind we needed during such stressful time and truly felt like a wedding gift to ourselves. From our intro call to our wedding day - Victoria was extremely prompt, friendly, organized, diligent, and a total rockstar! She was able to take my ideas and translate everything perfectly into the big day. Victoria's thoughtfulness and experience with design, contracts, vendor communication, venues, scheduling/timelines, and her overall feel for the industry as a whole, sets your wedding day up for success (seriously - her scheduling skills are unreal. I don't know how she perfectly designed the day-of to encompass everything we wanted - but she did it and did it seamlessly). I'd hire her for future events and parties in a heartbeat!

Ann was also very helpful on the day of the wedding as a coordinator - she made sure that everything ran smoothly and that I didn't have to worry about working with the vendors. It was such a relief to just be able to enjoy the day! Basically, she is a pleasure to work with and will be as involved or as laid-back as you desire. I wanted to take a pretty firm hand in a lot of the decisions, but have Ann take care of some of the details. She came up with great ideas for table cards, seating charts, and lots of other things. I highly recommend her!!

Where do I even begin? Frances and her team at Charmed Events are truly wedding planning magicians!…read moreWith 14 years of experience as a Floral and Event Designer myself, I've had the privilege of working with some of the best planners in California. When it came to planning my own Carmel Valley wedding, there was no question in my mind - Frances was the one! Having collaborated with Frances over the years, I've always been struck by her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuinely warm personality. Her design aesthetic is just dreamy - romantic, modern, and effortlessly sophisticated. There's a certain magic in the weddings she designs, always infused with personal touches that make them feel special and unique to the couple. Throughout my wedding planning journey, I gained a newfound appreciation for Frances from a client's perspective. She not only listened attentively to our ideas but also transformed them into a breathtakingly cohesive design concept that perfectly reflected us as a couple. Every detail was just beautiful! Also, amidst some issues that arose with the venue, Frances proved to be our steadfast ally and advocate, navigating unforeseen challenges with grace and diplomacy, ensuring every detail was ironed out. As the wedding approached, Frances introduced us to her principal planner and right-hand woman, Emily. Together, these two are a powerhouse duo! While Emily handled logistics such as transportation, vendor coordination, and timeline, Frances focused on executing the design vision flawlessly. As a complete bonus to their already awesome services, Frances also personally designed all of our signage, menus, seating charts, and programs. Personally, I would have had her design my invitations had I known of her talents sooner! On the big day, Frances and Emily were our guardian angels, orchestrating every moment with precision and grace. Emily's attentive care during the morning-of made me feel like a princess. She brought me and my bridesmaids delicious bites, made sure my dress and veil were perfect during first look photos, and her calming presence helped to ease my nerves. Meanwhile, Frances was busy overseeing the vendors, and set up of the ceremony and reception, which were honestly executed to perfection. The reveal of each space took our breath away and exceeded all expectations. It was truly a fairytale come to life! One more thing I want to mention about these two was that they really listened to our request to make sure that the wedding didn't feel rushed, and that we even had some moments with just the two of us. The timeline was so thoughtfully crafted that on the big day, it really didn't feel like the "blur" that everyone talks about. We were able to be present with each other, and even visit with our guests during cocktail hour and reception. There was a sense of ease about the day that allowed me to really just take it all in, and I think that is very special. Thanks to Frances and Emily, our wedding day was stunningly beautiful, perfectly orchestrated, and absolutely unforgettable. If you're in search of a planner who embodies competence, professionalism, and impeccable style, look no further. With Charmed Events, you'll receive the five-star treatment you deserve and an exceptionally magical day tailored just for you!

She…read morehelped us turn our fuzzy, vague handwaves about "vibe" and "feel" of our ideal wedding, and turned it into the most incredible (wedding-themed) 2-day, 3-night party we've ever thrown. Whatever roadblocks get thrown into your way, she plows through and *makes it happen*. Any wedding planner working during Covid has to roll with the punches, but Jamie humored us through a few different revisions to the criteria for venue selection, a couple curveballs once we finally found a place we liked (in the middle of nowhere, with no dishwasher on site!), and so many, many harebrained ideas that she helped us filter out or make real. Creative -- delightfully. Organized -- incredibly. Communicative -- consistently (even when she had to chase us down because we were distracted ). Adaptable -- stupendously. Pragmatic -- appropriately. Some of the planners we met early in the process felt like they'd plan a beautiful event, but one that aligned with *their* aesthetic and needs (or a particular trend's), rather than ours. Jamie and her team made *our* dream reality (and added so many wonderful touches along the way!), and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

There are many good wedding planners out there. If you want creme de la creme, you should hire…read moreJamie and the Mango Muse Events team. One word of warning is that hiring a good wedding planner doesn't remove the work to plan a good wedding. You still need to make decisions because it is YOUR wedding (and your wedding budget)! But it guarantees that you WILL have a good wedding. And we (me, husband, and guests) had a fantastic wedding weekend. My husband and I had a two day wedding celebration. The second casual "picnic" was arguably more complex despite its deceptively simple appearance due to Jamie having to transform a raw empty space into an event venue. The first day of our wedding went without a hitch. It was shocking how Jamie somehow made herself blend in with the rest of the crowd, yet was everywhere at once to conduct the event. ALL of our vendors complimented me (really, her) that she was the most professional, responsive, and organized planner they had ever worked with. She was so thorough - without Jamie, we are sure that we would have missed many small details that, while they wouldn't have messed up our wedding, made our day all the more presentable and comfortable. The second day (picnic) of our wedding was interesting. It was the day California experienced not any rain, but the crescendo into the historic "bomb cyclone" the following day. Days before our picnic, we had to scrap almost all of our original plan because our venue would have been flooded (and it was indeed underwater by our picnic day). We still don't know how Jamie pulled this off but she managed to transform our alternate venue (an empty cabin) into a spectacular indoor picnic spot. She had to re-do the furniture order and the layout. It worked. And that is without a doubt where I would have completely fallen apart without having Mango Muse. We are so grateful. Do yourself a favor and hire Jamie and her team :)

She was well aware of our budget and stuck to it. On the day of the event Colleen and her team handled all of the set up and made sure all was as it should be. During the event if I needed someone to take care of a small detail she was right there with a smile and "no problem" answer. I cannot tell you how valuable the service was.
