You will not regret having this Platinum Events duo by your side on your wedding day! We decided to go with their full planning service, and we're so glad we did -- it made all the difference! From start to finish, they were involved in every detail --assisting with all vendors including florals, décor, custom floor design, backdrop, DJ, photographer, belly dancer, cake baker, and drummer! They went above and beyond in every way. I was even able to FaceTime Dunia while deciding between hotels for my bridal suite and my husband's groom suite --that's how hands-on and supportive they were throughout the entire process. They truly understood my perfectionist tendencies and attention to detail (which probably gave them a few headaches!), but they never once complained. Instead, they delivered -- on every. single. detail. Every part of my vision came to life exactly as I imagined. We had multiple calls to finalize each element, and I genuinely appreciated how they took the time to sit, listen, and take detailed notes. Their patience, creativity, and professionalism exceeded all expectations. It was clear that Platinum Events Bay Area only works with the most professional and top-quality vendors, and it truly showed in how seamless everything turned out. Dunia and Mandy really shined on the day of the wedding -- they flawlessly coordinated with all the vendors to ensure everything was perfectly timed and on schedule. They both even came to my hotel early to help steam my dress, overskirt, and veil. Such sweethearts! I am endlessly grateful for their dedication and care --their attention to detail made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! read more

After saying Yes to my Fiancé, hiring Dunia and Mandy was the best decision I ever made. Assyrian weddings have a lot of cultural details and to find wedding planners who not only understand those nuances but handle everything with grace is amazing. Dunia was not only the loveliest to work with but she's super smart and catches every detail and when it came down to vendor negotiations she was able to save us so much money. She guided me every step of the way and I ly recommended the best vendors within my budget. She delivered not only credible vendors but she made sure each one understood what I wanted. As with any wedding there are bound to be hiccups and for us that hiccups came when our wedding cake baker backed out eight days before our wedding. In the most stressful moment Dunia remained calm and collected and sprung into action. She helped me find a better baker with a more amazing cake. Any bride or groom who truly want to enjoy their wedding planning process and have the most magical stress free night need to hire Dunia and Mandy. You start off hiring planners and you end with inheriting the best support system and friends for life. Dunia and Mandy words can't express what you mean to me and how much I appreciate you both from the bottom of my heart. You made this girl one happy bride 5 stars aren't enough I wish I could give you 500!!! read more

Wow. I cannot thank Mandy and Dunia enough for planning our wedding. We had our most perfect day and we could not have pulled it off without them! They are the perfect duo, complimenting each other in a lot of ways. They were there every step of the way for us, always just a phone call or text away. They have so many connections and experience in the industry that makes it so easy to find vendors that are easy to work with and within a reasonable budget. They saved us a lot of money with their connections! We also really appreciated their honesty and realistic expectations with budget, making it easier for us to prioritize what mattered to us most. They are also really good at communicating with all the many vendors! They set a very detailed timeline, which allowed for everything to go on track day of - even when there were minor hiccups out of their control. We barely had to worry about a thing day of and truly enjoyed! They were so immensely helpful the weeks leading up to the wedding with helping us store our decor, transporting (we did a good amount of DIY), and helping us wrap up so many loose ends. And on the day of - setting up beautiful decor amongst so many other things and helping pack everything up at the end of the reception, allowing us to enjoy our after hours. Above all else, Dunia and Mandy truly became our friends throughout the process We highly recommend Dunia and Mandy to anyone looking or even just thinking about a wedding planner. Trust me, it's worth it! read more

(This was totally written by my wife but I agree with everything she wrote!) I never "dreamed" about my wedding- but when the time came, I knew I wanted something special and I also knew I needed support.  In walks in the dynamic duo of wedding planning: Platinum Events! Not only are Dunia and Mandy's professional services stellar, so are their personalities! To find this intersection of professionalism and personable demeanors is a blessing, especially in this industry! Dunia and Mandy work beautifully together, they know their own individual strengths. And they manage their business leaning into those strengths, which makes their holistic care of your wedding all the greater.  Dunia and Mandy are honest with what you can and cannot realistically do within your budget. Instead of pushing to extend your budget, they give alternative options creating a new, more magical reality! Platinum Events are highly nuanced in knowing the industry's ins and outs. They, too, know the key players. They are respected by vendors and those vendors will go the extra mile for you because of them. Platinum Events guide your decision making when you're stuck. I'll never forget how my now husband and I felt disillusioned when viewing venues as we saw ourselves in so many places! A few poignant and targeted questions from Dunia: we knew what we had to do! Dunia gave us back the gift of time. Dunia and Mandy help you compromise. No two people will ever share the same exact vision, so when you're stuck with your partner, here comes Platinum Events to the rescue, such as how they made my husband's less flattering cake work with my decor! Platinum Events are also culturally attuned. Yes, they are of my cultural background; however, I married someone with his own cultural traditions and they helped me think about how to meaningfully respect and honor both our backgrounds. Platinum Events recall and document every detail you say. If my type A personality could let go and relax with these two- that's really saying something about the caliber of their service! I also admire Platinum Event's responsiveness! They're so attentive, accessible, reliable and engaged in their communications, whether that be on the phone or through email. Above all: you feel taken care of and special by Platinum Events. And every person getting married needs and deserves to feel this.  Wedding planning is an intimate and vulnerable process- a lot of emotions rise to the surface. And there is no better two to hold your hand through this wedding planning madness than Platinum Events!

And might I mention: given all the energy, effort and care you get from these two-- they are beyond reasonable to boot!  All to say- for anyone getting married- choose these wonderful humans to work with! They are a dream and they will help you realize yours! read more

I first came across Platinum Events Bay Area while researching for wedding coordinators for my wedding in 2020. After speaking with them on the phone, I decided to hire Dunia and Mandy and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator, look no further because Dunia and Mandy are the best at what they do! My wedding was originally planned for September 2020 and because of the pandemic, it was postponed to June 2021 and again to November 2021. Throughout all the postponements, they were very understanding and even helped me find other venues to still make my June 2021 wedding happen. In the end, we decided to change the ceremony and reception venue, and they were wonderful through it all. Anyone who has planned a wedding knows that it's no easy feat and can be very stressful. Dunia and Mandy helped make the last few weeks leading up to the wedding easier. Dunia was at my reception walk-through and helped organize all the vendors so that the day would flow seamlessly. She thought of details that I wouldn't have and made suggestions so the day can be picture perfect. That only solidified more that I made the right choice in choosing Mandy and Dunia. Most people don't realize all the behind-the-scenes that wedding planners/coordinators do for their bride and why they are worth every penny. Dunia and Mandy made phone calls and communicated with all of my vendors and created and sent timelines to each and every single one, so that everyone would be on the same page and did not worry me for one second. They also picked up all of my bins that was needed for the reception and arranged everything so beautifully at the reception. On the wedding day, they put out the little fires and fixed some of the hiccups that we encountered that day. That definitely helped me to relax because every one knows I am a perfectionist and likes everything to go according to plan. I can't express enough how thankful and appreciative my husband and I are of Dunia and Mandy. We are so grateful to have worked with them and for helping make our dream wedding come true. We would highly recommend them and one of the best investments we made. We love you both! read more

There is so much I could say about this team of fairy godmothers. I am not kidding when I say that. From their personalized wedding timeline to their ease of communication. I had my initial call with Dunia back in October 2021 as she was referred to me from my AMAZING florist. The only package that fit my budget at the time was their month of coordination. So, I unfortunately ended up being convinced by my venue to go with another planner (their preferred vendor) since she would start work right away for around the same price. That was the worst decision I made. Long story short, less than a month till my wedding, things happened that led for me to be in need of a new planner so, I reached back out to Dunia and Mandy. Thankfully THEY WERE STILL AVAILABLE for my wedding date which was 1/15/22. Our relationship took off from there! From the start, I felt like I knew Dunia like she was a family friend or something. And Mandy, is like her Yin to her Yang. I found that it is extremely important to have ease in communication with your wedding planner. Dunia and Mandy made it easy for my style which is casual and made sure I could text or call them whenever (like a friend). They were both super responsive and made me feel like I was their priority, and you could tell they cared about me. I had another issue come up where the cake baker who was referred by the venue was not being responsive, and I was losing faith in them. Dunia and Mandy took over and Mandy was able to lock in the date with their personal baker in minutes! The overall process was honestly so much fun and a million times less stressful when Dunia and Mandy took over as my planners. I do not know what I would have done without them. Let's talk about wedding day! I was so nervous day of and it really helped having both of them by my side. There is SO MUCH that goes on behind the scenes and they helped things go by smoothly and instructed everyone on what to do so we could stay on schedule. I honestly just trusted them and let them do their thing and am so glad I did because my husband and I got to enjoy our magical day. Everything came together so well and far exceeded what I imagined. So many friends and family members have asked us about who our planners were because they witnessed what this team did for our wedding. I will recommend them to everyone, and I am telling you, you will be so thankful to have these two by your side. The only thing I wish I did was hire them sooner! I will for sure miss working with them. Thank you so much guys!! read more

Hiring Platinum Events was one of the best decisions I made throughout my wedding planning process. They are the absolute BEST!! I hired them for the month of my wedding and from the moment they started, they were on top of it. From collecting all the vendors information, bridal party names and contact info, to creating a perfectly planned timeline - they truly made the day and night go by seamlessly. Two weeks prior to wedding day, they sent all vendors a detailed timeline and then called all vendors to answer any questions or concerns. They really made their best effort to ensure everyone was on the same page and make sure the day went as planned. The morning of the wedding, I was able to relax and enjoy myself because I knew I was in the best hands. Dunia and Mandy are a dream to work with, I couldn't have been happier choosing Platinum Events as my wedding coordinator. They are organized, attentive, and truly want the best for you and your special day. They treat it as if it was their own wedding, their attention to detail truly remarkable. The night went just as planned and turned out perfectly, thank you Dunia and Mandy!!! Kalin and I couldn't have dreamed of a better day. We would a thousand times over recommend them to all friends and family. read more

Platinum Events Bay Area - Wedding Planning Near Me

I had the honor of meeting Dunia and Mandy at my best friend's wedding a few years ago. From that day I knew if I ever had a wedding, it would not be without them. Fast forward to when my husband Kurtis and I decided on our wedding venue, we refused to sign with them until we confirmed that Dunia and Mandy were available to be our planners. Once we locked them in, we went forward. I don't even know where to begin, but to say you would absolutely be crazy not to hire them to plan your wedding. They are worth every single penny, and then some. As one of your typical, "been a bridesmaid a million times plus thinks she knows how to plan a wedding," I can honestly say no one will think of it all except for Dunia and Mandy. They not only locked in every vendor we wanted, but for the ones we had no idea who to go to, they recommended THE ABSOLUTE BEST. We literally blindly agreed to everyone they recommended because we knew they were the best because they were recommended by Dunia and Mandy. And we are so glad that we did because we did not have an issue with a single vendor - they were all timely, coordinated well, delivered (and even more than expected) and not one single negative thing was brought to my/Kurtis's attention. If anything didn't go the right way, to this day we have no idea because they took care of it. Our wedding timeline also was on time to the minute, not one part was late. AND, they remembered everything they knew we would want even though we didn't discuss it - they literally anticipated every one of our needs. Above and beyond needs a new definition with these two because they even helped our guests with any thing they needed, even down to allergy medicine. The most important feeling we had walking away from our wedding, was knowing we had two genuine friends as well. Dunia and Mandy have hearts of gold, and that's something you can't buy and absolutely need on your wedding day, and for the days after. We loved them so much we asked if they'd still call us and chat after LOL To the dream makers themselves, thank you Dunia and Mandy for ensuring our wedding was everything we wanted and more. We love you and feel really sad for the wedding world when you guys decide to retire. HIRE THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! Bless you both! read more

Dunia and Mandy are the absolute best! For our wedding we hired them for day of/month of coordination. The entire process ran so smooth from start to finish. Any questions or advice we had/needed, they were there to answer. During the entire process, there was amazing communication. The day of our wedding, everything was stress-free so my husband and I can enjoy our special day. Everything was exactly on time the entire day & we got to sneak away for sunset photos! Best of all, we got to eat a lot during our wedding day! We highly recommend hiring Platinum Events Bay Area. They are highly experienced with amazing vendor connections, great communication, and they handle everything the day of so that you don't have to worry at all on your special day! The best decision we made was hiring them! read more

Dunia and Mandy were even better than I expected. I was recommended to them from a close from who got married the year prior and it was the BEST choice I made in this whole process. I work full time so I knew planning a wedding (200+ people and during COVID!) would be so time consuming. We hired them in January 2021 with the hope to be married in October 2021. Within a month and a half of signing the contract we had every single vendor signed and ready to help us on our day. Both Dunia and Mandy made this process to the point and saved me so much time by researching and talking with me to bring me vendors and inspo that they knew I would love. They were always so fast to respond and answered any questions I had. Both of them are so sweet and bring such a calming effect to the process and day of. They get things done fast, give you the best support and genuinely want you to have your dream wedding. read more

We had the privilege of working a Palestinian-Greek wedding with Dunia and her team on July 25th at a private residence in Sonoma, CA. My team provided the photo and video services for the day. With everything that's been happening today, during the corona pandemic, I still can not believe how seamlessly this team pulled off a last minute event with over a hundred attendees. The entire event was pretty organized. The attention to detail was impeccable. And lastly, the way they communicate and coordinate with their co-vendors are great. I've been in the wedding industry for over 12 years now and this coordination team definitely knows how to get the job done and is very hands on. We didn't have to worry about the time because their just on point. I can't wait to work in NorCal with this awesome team again! read more

I had the pleasure of hiring Dunia and Mandy for day of wedding coordination right before the chaos of Covid and shelter and place started for my fall 2020 wedding that was expected to have over 400 guests. Shortly after, I was hit with restrictions of shelter in place and everything felt like it was slowly falling apart. Despite the fact that I had brought them on just for coordination support, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND. This was my first rodeo planning a wedding and they were my North Star, whenever I got lost or stuck, they guided me and lended a helping hand with recommendations, support, or even just words of encouragement (which every bride needs whether we like to admit it or not lol). The week of the wedding, our Photobooth provider cancelled and I had gone into panic mode, they quickly helped me find a back up. Among all the twists and turns that came up the week of the wedding and even the day of, their response was "don't worry we got this" and THEY DID! Working a full time job and planning a residential wedding was a handful but hearing them say those words and trusting that they were able to execute was a sense of calm admits the storm. My wedding turned out to be a dream come true, exactly like how I envisioned it (250 person residential wedding) and it wouldn't have been as successful as it was if it wasn't for them. My family, my in laws, and my husband adored them! They all were glowing the next day and raving about how much of a relief it was to have an extra set of hands and we all agreed that we wouldn't of been able to do it without them. It's been over a week now since our wedding and our guests are still telling us that it was the best wedding that they've been to and the highlight of their 2020! So if you're stuck and you've done your research, I'd recommend hiring them. You won't be disappointed and they are SO WORTH IT!! read more

Where do I even begin! Dunia and Mandy are a dream team!! We had the month before service but they were so extremely helpful during the entire year of planning. There recommendations and vendors we're all so professional and kind. Anytime I had a stress or worry they were both there to make me feel at ease. They handled everything the day of and helped with some of the DIY floral that was brought in. I truly wouldn't have been able to plan this wedding without them I highly recommend platinum events! read more

Cannot thank Dunia and Mandy enough for all they did for our wedding! As soon as we got engaged, I knew we needed to have Dunia and Mandy. I met them both when they helped my brother and sister during their weddings, and I saw then how above and beyond they go to make sure everything is perfect and seamless. And for our wedding, they did nothing short of that. I'm so happy they were there for our day. They made the day so stress free, easy, special and handled everything for us. I couldn't have done it without them. Thank you Dunia and Mandy!! read more

What a fantastic experience working with both Dunia and Mandy. They are a great duo as they both bring their own skillsets to the table to make a very strong team where you feel anything you need throughout the process will get done. We had a fairly large wedding of 290 or so people and worked with a venue that had strict policies. Even with that, everything was executed to perfection and to my surprise the venue loosened up on a few things after speaking with Dunia. The part I appreciated the most was we hired them mainly for month-of-service and yet if we had some questions throughout the process they were very generous with their time and accommodating always. Dunia and Mandy have great relationships with other vendors we used and made the night go smoothly and stress-free. Highly recommend! read more

I met Dunia and Mandy couple years ago and I absolutely love working with them. I've done so many hair and make ups for wedding but I have to say, when you hired a wedding coordinator the money is sooo worth it. Things go as they should, no one is bothering/calling the bride to ask where the flowers need to go, where does that cake need te be at, I can name so many other issues. Dunia and Mandy are so well at communicating with other venders, letting us know where is best to park if the parking is an issue, specially in the City. Sometimes brides think hiring a wedding coordinator is a waste of time, let me tell you that's a lie, they even fight to get the venue be more flexible with the bride, I don't n even want to mentioned during the pandemic how many times whey had to change/reschedule dates, and argue with the venues to be more flexible, I highly recommend them!! read more

My wedding would not have been the same without Dunia & Mandy. The level of ease and reassurance that they offer is worth every penny and more! All of my vendors were perfectly coordinated, I did not have to worry about a thing. The day of was smooth and honestly perfect. They took care of the things that I was most worried about coordinating like my late night snack, seating chart, guiding guests to the right area at the right time, staying on track of the timeline, and so much more. Having Dunia and Mandy there meant that my husband and I and our families could just relax and enjoy the wedding. I would recommend them over and over again to anyone. Love them both and appreciate all of the work they did for us! read more

Dunia and Mandy are the best! I had my wedding in Mid October and I was completely overwhelmed, especially with dealing with our wedding venue. Dunia stepped in and worked with our venue to make sure everything went smoothly that day! They both worked really well with our team and made sure to fix any issues that we encountered the day of. Im so glad i found these two. They both worked so hard to make sure we had a perfect wedding! I would definitely recommend these two to help with your wedding needs. read more

I don't know where to begin. No review can do these girls justice. But let me start off by saying - if you're debating hiring them, stop debating and just do it. You need them, and you will love them. We hired Dunia & Mandy last year for day-of coordination only. I had most of my vendors already booked at the time we hired them, but they still offered endless suggestions, ideas, and support as we planned our wedding. (They also have an awesome baker that they will refer you to and I guarantee you won't find a better a deal on your cake). Then... COVID hit. Our original wedding plans were flipped upside down and Dunia and Mandy stood by our side through all the craziness of replanning. Nobody could have expected such a disruption in plans. Dealing with a global pandemic was definitely not in their job description, and they still took everything like champs, even when I would call them crying, frustrated, and stressed debating what to do. We finally resorted to a small backyard wedding with our immediate families only. Things were really stressful as we replanned everything in about a month but Dunia and Mandy helped us through everything. They stayed in constant contact with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Even the night before the wedding, when I realized I forgot to incorporate music as I walked down the aisle, she found a solution for me by contacting a violinist to come - literally less than 24 hours before the wedding! On the day of, they made sure everything was on time and that all ran smoothly. They create a detailed minute-by-minute timeline for your wedding day and we were so on track that we were early for everything the whole day. They set up all of our decorations, favors, signs, etc. They even went as far as setting up our floral arrangements when our florist was unable to travel to our new wedding location. Dunia and Mandy truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. On top of all the logistic things they helped with, they are just FUN! They became our friends! They make sure you are really enjoying your day and even make sure you get to sneak away for a bit to take solo photos and eat before your reception gets crazy. I can't thank these girls enough for all of their support and help through this crazy process, especially with COVID. I can't believe we re-planned a backyard wedding in nearly a month, I couldn't have done it without Dunia and Mandy. They are the dream team!!! read more

Dunia and Mandy are the absolute best! I don't know what we would have done without them! They made sure everything was perfect, and thought of everything! The wedding was beautiful and ran smoothly with no worries at all. It was so easy to coordinate with Dunia and Mandy. Their expertise, communication , organization, connections and recommendations are top tier. We got a lot of compliments from our guests who noticed how awesome they both were the day of the wedding! They are on top of every single little detail. Dunia and Mandy were there for us ready to answer any question or support us in decisions, making the wedding planning process easier! I highly recommend them for your wedding planning! read more

Words can't describe how amazing these ladies are! They are extremely organized and are on top of everything. It was such a pleasure working with both of you when I tell you these ladies think quick on their feet on your big day, They really do! We had slight wardrobe malfunctions lol and I realized my ring was missing right before as I was about to walk down the aisle and Dunia handled it like a boss! She kept me calm and keep the show moving and slipped the ring to my son (ring bearer) and I can't Thank You both enough! Our wedding was a dream and I honestly didn't have to worry about ANYTHING thanks to them! We definitely recommend 10/10 and we will be sending our people their way in the future!

Hiring Dunia and Mandy was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire these beautiful ladies as your coordinators! You will not regret it!

I will forever be grateful for all your efforts! read more

Mandy and Dunia are the best wedding planners in town! My husband and I decided to plan our wedding and we knew we would need help from Mandy and Dunia so we did the month of wedding service. The second Mandy and Dunia took over was like a fresh breath of air i never knew i needed. They came in and quickly were up to speed. Even during the wedding planning, they were so helpful answering my questions. They are so quick and efficient when you need them. During the wedding day, they were amazing. Everything went on schedule and they are the best at hyping up the bride!! The reason why they are so successful and so great is because they are hardworking powerful women who love their jobs. They are seriously amazing people who genuinely care about you. They are always positive and will find a way to make your dream wedding become a reality. Thank you ladies!!! read more

My top recommendation to any bride is hiring an event coordinator!!! I reached out to Dunia and Mandy as soon as I had my wedding date confirmed. Words cannot describe how great these two are and even more awesome to work with! We started our day/month of coordination exactly one month before our wedding. Dunia and Mandy asked for all our vendors and bridal party's names and contact information. From there, they created a very detailed wedding playbook and timeline which was extremely helpful in preparation for the wedding. Dunia and Mandy also helped create a floor plan in collaboration with my decorator that worked best for our wedding traditions and guest list. 3 specific things I wanted to call out that really stood out to me and my family: Dunia asked for a list of family names to take pictures with after church. We took pictures with all our closest family after church and it was very well organized and kept us on schedule. My grandma was very impressed by that! :) Dunia helped me book a photo booth 2 days before the wedding. My guests loved it and the picture turned out so beautiful!!! I also needed help coordinating a late night bite and they helped me get in n out for all my guests which was so awesome! My guests were so surprised haha! Overall, these 2 are a definite must have for anyone planning a wedding in the Bay Area! read more

Dunia and the platinum events team had another wedding on my wedding day unfortunately because I was dying to have them help coordinate my big day. Even though dunia was tied up, she still went out of her way to help me find a new covid friendly venue! It wasn't easy since I had a specific vision and I didn't even get to hire her but ultimately where I had my dream wedding was at a private estate that Dunia found for me! She actually sent me multiple options since she felt so bad she couldn't actually be hired for my event! So happy she was able to assist from afar without even having her as my formal wedding planner!! She rocks! read more

Words can't describe how amazing Mandy and Dunia were to me! There is so much I could say about this amazing duo. All I know is hiring them was the BEST decision I ever made! I hired them for full-time wedding planning, and I can't say enough about how wonderful they were from start to finish. From helping me research, talking to vendors, getting quotes, and locking vendors - including venue, DJ, cake, dance floor, zaffe team, photographer, videographer - all while working with budget constraints. (They were so respectful of my budget and always gave it to me straight and made sure I was getting a good rate). They were always clear communicators and available at any time for a call/ text. I miss my morning check-ins with Dunia! With planning a wedding during a pandemic, I faced a lot of little fires and last-minute changes. Dunia and Mandy handled every obstacle gracefully and eased my stress. They saved me SOO much time, money and brought my vision to life. I had a dream wedding and I only have them to thank for making it all possible! Dunia and Mandy are the dream team! I can't say enough good things about the wedding day! They were so sweet, kept my bridesmaids on schedule, had positive energy, kept the hotel catering in check, and made sure I was always ok (from helping me change my shoes, to bringing my husband and myself food and drinks). Dunia and Mandy were my guardian angels and everything was FLAWLESS. From the ceremony to the reception, the details big and small were fantastic. So many friends and family members have asked us about our planners, and everyone had nothing but compliments on the day of. They witnessed what this team did for our wedding. I don't think Dunia and Mandy sat down all night. They were working so hard. I will recommend them to everyone, and I am telling you, you will be so thankful to have these two by your side. read more

I had found Platinum events through Instagram. Initially, when I contacted Dunia she was very friendly and straight forward so I decided to pay the deposit and book them. A few weeks later, my friend who is a wedding planner decided to take on my wedding for free so I explained the situation to Dunia and told her I'm on a tight budget and that I decided to work with my friend since she wasn't going to charge me. I asked her kindly to give me my deposit of $475 back since I had paid her less than 2 weeks ago, especially since she had not provided any services. She said I cant have my deposit back since she had already "started working" on my wedding (even though my wedding was a year away). I asked her what she had started working on, and she blatantly lied and said she had already began sketching my cake and reached out to her cake person. I told her that we had never even discussed the details of my wedding (especially the cake) and that I had already booked my cake before I paid her the deposit. Unbelievable! She literally stole $475 without doing anything, I don't know how she sleeps at night. If I could give her negative stars I would. read more

Platinum Events changed my life and helped me tie the knot on 11-7-15! Dunia and Mandy are wedding planners, therapists, friends and partners in crime - true gems! These girls are a special team - they manage to simultaneously be extremely knowledgeable and open to new ideas, confident and down-to-earth, and direct and kind. One of my favorite things about Dunia and Mandy is how quickly and thoroughly they responded to ALL of my questions. They are creative thinkers who are also very practical about how the decisions you make will impact the schedule, feel of the event and budget. As the bride, you get to benefit from their previous experience but also their determination to bring your unique event to life! When it came down to the execution of the wedding day, I couldn't have asked for more. I totally trusted Dunia and Mandy - we had spent months planning, we had aligned on every last detail and I knew that whatever happened, these girls would be able to handle it. Dunia and Mandy are graceful under pressure and they never stop making you feel like you're being taken care of - not easy!

Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to have had Dunia and Mandy through our wedding process. From the moment I first spoke with Dunia and Mandy on the phone, I felt like I already knew them and they knew me. They knew what I wanted and had in mind, and were able to execute my ideas, as well as throw in their ideas too (which I LOVED) They are quick, professional and extremely easy to work with. As we all know, weddings could often fall off track and run behind. Nope, not when Dunia and Mandy are in charge! We were on schedule to the very minute. Not only did my husband and I notice, but the guests did too! During the wedding, we had a few guests tell us how organized and elegant our wedding was. After the wedding, we heard numerous compliments geared towards the coordination of the evening. I truly owe it all to these ladies. Dunia and Mandy, I am so happy I reached out to you both. Wedding planning was stressful at times. Once you both stepped in, I never felt so calm, excited and at ease than ever before. You both are amazing.. And that's an understatement. You deserve far beyond 5 stars!! Love you, ladies! It was so wonderful to work with you both!!! read more

Dunia and Mandy jumped in head first and are just super pros. With the Persian wedding there are a lot of traditional things and I was super impressed that they knew honestly more than I did about them! Their humble confidence was just what I needed and add in the covid challenges and you have two hero's on your team :) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Side note I had a panic attack when the day before my wedding I noticed my card box said Mr and Mr Instead is Mr and Mrs! I happened to mention it to Dunia and she came to the rescue without hesitation! So yes she's an awesome party planner but also an artist :) read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Platinum Events Bay Area. We had to change the date four times and then finally decided to have the wedding in the Bay Area. They helped us plan a beautiful Covid safe wedding for my son and daughter in love in less than 3 weeks. From recommending an outdoor venue, to the florist, musician, and everything else in between. Oh and due to rain we had to move the wedding indoors. Mandy and Dunia did a fabulous job moving everything inside last minute. They went above and beyond and surpassed my expectations with their knowledge, patience, understanding, and flexibility. Dunia helped alleviate my stress and made herself available to answer my endless amount of questions and concerns. Everything you would look for in a wedding planner. Do not hesitate to hire Mandy and Dunia. They will make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. read more
