From the beginning of our working relationship Mindy was great about communication -- both with her client and with me. While there can be a lot of room for misunderstanding and miscommunication in the process of planning a wedding, Mindy bridged any potential gaps like a true professional. It was the level of care she took for her clients that stood out to me the most. Throughout the process she was always on top of scheduling and keeping the to-do list on track. She was present for the key meetings and shoots, but was also happy to give her clients space when they wanted to work through things directly with me. Her organization of the wedding weekend was complete, and left just enough room for the bride and groom to take a breath between activities. It was neither overwhelmingly busybusybusy, nor was it lax to the point that things got out of hand. She did a great job setting and maintaining expectations, and the bride and groom were easily able to enjoy their wedding weekend, knowing full well that Mindy had crossed every T and dotted every I. Mindy is a huge asset when planning a wedding, and any bride would be lucky to have access to her services. I would -- and do -- heartily recommend her.

When faced with trying to write a review for Mindy of West of Honey, I only wish that for EXTRA…read morespecial situations, you could add a sixth star. If anyone ever deserved a Yelp six-star rating, it would be Mindy. She is a force that cannot be contained within the confines of five stars! I'm convinced she could rule the world if she really wanted to. I got married on April 13th in Austin, Texas and was lucky enough to have Mindy as my day of event coordinator. I don't think that I'm exaggerating when I say that she absolutely saved my sanity. We had family drama brewing, a ton of last minute cancellations that messed up the seating chart...when the time came, I had to just hand over the day (and the seating chart, for that matter) to her. And I was happy to do it, because she is a wonderfully take-charge sort of woman. I basically threw a bunch of things in a few cases and rented a bunch of stuff that I thought went with my wedding "vision," which I told Mindy about in my own flighty way, but she totally got it and put it together flawlessly. People are still telling me that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. Had Mindy not been there, people would still be talking about it, but there's a significant chance they would be talking about what a total disaster it was! The peace of mind you get with Mindy managing your event is absolutely priceless. If anything went wrong the day of the wedding, I never knew it. A little secret about me: I'm a COMPLETE control freak. After all the time and energy I spent planning the wedding, you had better believe it normally would have been a real challenge for me to hand over the reins to someone else, but I felt like Mindy had everything under control. She gets things DONE, she has impeccable taste, she pays close attention to detail. She's experienced, thorough, knowledgeable and just downright awesome in general. Everyone loved her - friends, family, vendors, and most especially, me! I think that she also specializes in other events besides weddings - whatever you're planning, do yourself a favor and bring her in, you will absolutely not be sorry. I would present my wedding pictures as evidence - there I am in the salon, sipping champagne and laughing it up with my friends. Without Mindy, the pictures would have been of me ripping my hair out in patches as I tried to direct my rambunctious family in set-up. A million thanks to Mindy Reynolds of West of Honey for the perfect wedding day.

I am a business owner myself, so I also understand the importance of quality assurance. So, this was not an easy, or valuable, use of ,my time. With that being said...This company is a COMPLETE joke! They have zero professionalism in their work ethic or communication processes. After reaching out TWICE to add items to give them more business for my event, they canceled on me 5 days before our company LAUNCH! No attempt to resolve their OWN issue and I wasn't even upset with the lack of organization at the point of disruption. Simply asked they refer back to the estimates THEY sent to coordinate and ensure we had the order correct. Instead of discussing, they had someone, other than my sales rep, call to cancel my order. No reasonable excuse, just pure laziness. Also, not one person I was in contact with spoke English well, nor could relay back what was said and even typed over to them. So disappointed.
