Organization seems like the most important quality in an event planner and Ana has it in spades. She is efficient and punctual. As a wedding florist I had the pleasure of working with Ana for a wedding at Sharon Mills last season. When I arrived (2 hours before the ceremony) Everything else was already done.. Linens glassware and favors were set, Bride and maids were dressed with perfect hair. Groomsmen were in attendance and sober. This kind of preparedness is unusual and I'm sure it was due in no small part to Ana

Ana is the reason why we made it through wedding planning. We met with TwoFoot and didn't even…read moreinterview any other wedding planners. We hired her that day for pre-planning and day-of. She helped mediate the entire process. She listened to what we wanted, and didn't try to put herself into our wedding at all. She made suggestions and didn't overwhelmed. We loved working with her. We walked into our reception and thought it looked exactly the way we had been picturing it would. It was our dream wedding and we couldn't have done it without TwoFoot.

I'm a Chicago gal who was trying to plan a wedding in SW Michigan (or anywhere between Detroit and…read moreChicago) to keep it close to home and family. I was initially reluctant to use a wedding/event planner for several reasons - wanting to save money, being fairly crafty/creative myself and having confidence in handling on my own details in pursuing something less "traditional", and being pretty resourceful. Shortly into the planning process, I realized it was going to be harder than I thought. I then met Mandi Buckland of Element Design. What sealed the deal was her calm energy and diversity in events she's worked on (weddings, parties, festivals, including "green" fests/events). She was great in identifying several unique wedding location options in Southwest and Southern MI, including a fabulous barn, a garden, and a super cool lodge (we ended up at a mansion in Holland). When I asked her to design the invitations with a "modern art nouveau theme" using a peacock to match the theme of a mansion built in the early 1900s (not easy!) - she provided several fabulous sample designs within a short period of time. Our final invitations were really unique and fun! After our invites went out, I received an unexpected amount of of great feedback ("I love your invitations!" "They are so unique," etc.) and I could tell they made people look forward to the wedding. I felt like Mandi figured out my sense of my style quickly, and she was able to identify options that fit that were creative, cost-conscious (extra plus) and didn't compromise on quality. At the same time she was working with me, she was helping a friend design invitations for a wedding at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, so her range of work can be simple, arty/less traditional, to more traditional/upscale. Pretty impressive! Mandi is professional, efficient, super creative, and I would recommend her to anyone in Chicago, Detroit (or anywhere in between the two cities in Michigan or Illinois) who is planning a wedding in Southwest or Southern Michigan!

I've been to a lot of weddings, but when its yours, there's alot of things you don't know or anticipate and Mandi definitely helped us in numerous ways.

Without hesitation I picked this banquet hall. As they take care of everything for you since they have been in business for such a long time.

They are all very skilled and have great domain knowledge regarding wedding planning - they created in depth timeline for our wedding, kept track of vendor contracts, and helped us ensure our AV and decor logistically made sense for our plan. We met remotely with them with higher frequency as the wedding date came near and they were able to help us iron out important details to ensure the event was a success. They are so incredibly sweet and thoughtful, from providing us with food and water when noticing we needed it to making sure our guests needs were met. They truly made our wedding feel seamless and exciting. We strongly recommend Utsav planners to anyone getting married within the U.S. or outside. We assure you they will make wedding planning easy and stress free. :)

I have never been to the stadium and I live rather close. I have seen it multiple times. I decided…read moreto check out a game on recommendation of friend. The parking is kind of tough especially if you get there late. The parking lot was pretty full. I did manage to find parking further to the back. It was a little walk but that's okay. I entered the stadium via the gate. I did find out that you are not allowed allowed to bring packages in that are certain size. You also had to have a clear package in order to enter. We quickly found a seat pretty close to the field. I was surprised that the other side of the field seating was empty. There are a lot of people but it is a small venue when you compare it to a big house. There is food that you can order at various food trucks and some lines are longer at some food trucks than others but the weight was short at the one I went to. I ordered pizza from Little Caesars and sat down. There was a regular guest that visited the games that had an extra seat with padding. He offered them to me and my friend and we sat in style while we watched the game. That was pretty cool. Leaving the game was pretty easy and safe because they had designated areas to cross with a police presence. I'm glad I checked it out and attended.

I hadn't been to the Power Center since undergrad (I'm a UM '09 grad), so I had no clue what the parking situation would be like. I used Google Maps to get there and FYI, it's not entirely accurate - it brings you to the Fletcher Center parking structure. It was $5 cash to park there, but I wish I knew to park on level 5 (where access to Power Center is) because I parked on level 2 and then took the elevator up. There's no signage regarding this, by the way - I had to ask the lady who was taking money for parking. The Power Center itself has a unique layout, and our seats (mid-balcony, row D, I believe) were very good - you could see the stage very well. The performance was great, too. They have bathrooms on the basement level (go down 1 flight of stairs from the main area) and also on the balcony level, but at least for the women's bathroom, there were only about 4-5 stalls on that level. I'd come back here again for a performance - seats are a lot nicer than Hill's (you have much more room) and I'm willing to bet that there's not a bad viewpoint in the house.
