Our Philosophy
So you can focus
on celebrating.
Put your event in the hands of experts...
Our Signature Process
PHASE 1 - CONNECTION:
Getting to Know You
Our signature process makes planning enjoyable from the beginning. Our proprietary planning dashboard, planning and design workbook, and other foundational documents provide a strong starting point to produce an event that reflects your personality, entertainment style, and overall vision.
Venue Scouting + Site Tours
We’ll help you determine which city, resort, or tented lawn is perfect for hosting your personalized celebration through scouting and insights for every possible destination, in-person site tours, and budget analysis.
Venue Recommendations
We’ll provide a thoughtfully curated recommendation of creative partners from our local and national network to fit your budget and aesthetic.
Communications & Guest Experience
From proofing stationery, procuring room blocks, booking transportation, and day of concierge-style assistance, your guests will feel thought of and cared for.
Our Signature Process
PHASE 2 - DESIGN:
Collecting Inspiration + Mood Boards
Your story, history, goals, priorities, preferences, and cultures will inspire a mood board reflecting your aesthetic and entertainment style while considering how each element impacts and supports the guest experience.
Floor Plans + Design Presentation
Begin to visualize how your wedding day will look and feel as we guide you through our detailed presentation featuring color palettes, floor plan renderings, and all design and rental elements.
Investment Estimate
We’ll provide a realistic, itemized budget (including every anticipated detail big to small) so we can discuss the total investment, and make any adjustments before we begin production.
Tabletop + Floral Mock-up
We’ll give you an exclusive sneak peek at your wedding day months in advance by creating a sample tabletop prototype, including florals, linen, china, rentals, and more.
Our Signature Process
PHASE 3 - LOGISTICS:
Menu Curation + Trial
We assist in creating a well-designed menu and wine (or bar menu) presentation that reflects your entertainment style and culture. Together, we can revise as needed at the catering trial.
Guest + RSVP Management
We’ll make sure your guests are in-the-know and well- cared for by tracking RSVPs, establishing room blocks, booking transportation, and providing day-of concierge assistance with every aspect of their experience.
Vendor Management + Communication
We take the lead with your vendor team to collaborate on your event’s design and execution—this includes anticipating potential challenges, problem-solving, and keeping “every little thing” from making its way onto your plate.
Timelines
We develop a robust weekend and day-of timeline for all vendor teams, families, bridal parties, and our couples. These timelines are packed with minute-by-minute details and allow you to be present in your experience, knowing that the smallest details are accounted for.
Our Signature Process
PHASE 4 - TRANSFORMATION:
Event Production
We’ll manage the curation and installation of personalized and artfully produced structures (bar, escort displays, flooring, tents, stage, and facades) to complement your overall design plan and create cohesion within your event space.
Production Schedules
Our team will coordinate, manage, and execute the various puzzle pieces of your multi-day celebration (set up, tear down, timing, vendor schedules, etc.), strategically ensuring everything goes to plan.
Event Coordination
Our team is the first onsite and the last to leave. We will support the weekend-long event flow, styling, and coordination so you and your guests can revel, relax, and enjoy.

“It’s rare to find a professional who listens to your vision and knows how to bring it to life instantaneously.”
“I have extremely high standards and gave the MME team just six weeks to plan and execute my wedding—they did it flawlessly! The team paid attention to every detail, sourced every request, recommended the best vendors and removed any stress from the event so that I could enjoy every moment of the special day with my husband, our friends, and family.
THE MME Team is one of the best in the business— I would recommend them to anyone and will continue to hire them for all the special events in my life.”

“They have you covered from the most basic request to the most complex contract, always with your best interest at heart.”
“My husband and I worked with Mandy Marie Events for two of our daughters’ weddings—and both were in a class of their own. Since then, we’ve hired the team for our corporate events, and they never fail to impress.
What sets them apart is their ability to make the experience unforgettable— the care taken to learn our wants, needs, and character is what ensures they are able to produce such sensational and personal events.”

We’re the right team for you if…
You’re dreaming of an exquisite event—with an easy, stress-free planning process
Your vision includes hosting a one- of-a-kind celebration, and a spectacular transformation is likely in the plans
You prefer a residential style that’s gorgeous yet welcoming & comfortable for your guests (Speaking of which, your guests’ experience is a top priority!)
You’re the type who tends to trust the experts who can ensure flawless execution that stays on-track the whole way through
Your Investment
The average wedding in our portfolio hosts 150 guests and costs $2000 per person—amounting to a total budget of $300K
The fee for our services is 15% of your total event budget.
(Meeting our minimum fee of $30,000, and not including our on-site personnel fee for the staffing of your event days)
Why do we structure our fee in this way?
Simply stated: the greater your total investment, the more details there are to coordinate and the more involved the design and planning process becomes.
To ensure you have the highest level of concierge-style service the Mandy Marie brand is known for, we must allocate resources to ensure you have the proper number of hours and team members dedicated to your event.
Our Commitment to You
listaltrow
-
We will not advocate for increasing your budget—and we won’t suggest making investments beyond what we believe to be necessary to execute the event you desire. Our integrity and reputation are more important to us than that.
-
We will help you create a realistic budget broken down by category, and provide you with options that align with your budget and aesthetic. We will also always inform you if and when your selections might impact your overall budget. (P.S. The most effective way to reduce financial burdens while wedding planning is by limiting your guest list.)
-
Above all, we’re here to reduce your stress and be a resource for you as you plan and host an unforgettable event that aligns with your desires and values.

“From the very initial meeting with Mandy Marie Events, I knew that I was in great hands for my wedding.”
“During that meeting, they started by asking what I wanted. I explained to her (not well) what I was thinking, and from that description, she was able to turn my rambling thoughts into a reality.
Every step of the way, she was extremely communicative about the process and honestly took away all the stress that I hear about so many brides experiencing.
On my wedding day, I was blown away by the PERFECTION that the MME and vendor team created. My husband and I could not have been happier with our day and all the amazing details and special moments included. The entire MME team is truly a talent, and we would 100% recommend them to any couples that want a customized, elevated, and one-of-a-kind event!”
