Luna Event Collective

“Ashley was great! We had most our big vendors picked whenever we hired Ashley. She helped us pick all the smaller, detailed vendors like renting furniture, linens, brass band, hair & makeup artist, etc. Every vendor we hired was excellent! I spoke with Ashley frequently about how we want the wedding weekend to be in New Orleans. She was very professional and accommodating with changes made to the plan. I planned a New Orleans wedding while I lived in Nashville. Ashley was always happy to call, text, email, FaceTime Anytime! When I flew to New Orleans, she was always able to meet and help with any details and walk through. The weeks up to the wedding, Ashley was a game changer!!!! She had a detailed itinerary of the whole day and contacted all the vendors! I never spoke to the vendors about timing or logistical stuff. Ashely handled everything and it worked beautifully. Our whole day was perfect because of Ashley. To my knowledge, not a single thing went wrong. She had great advice when it came to choosing vendors, and she was so organized for all the logistical parts of the day. Brides have enough to worry about, and Ashley really lightened our load!!”

A Bupp Event was built after a huge move to the south and a new baby in tow. After 7 months of an extended maternity leave from events and the DC market I found I really missed events! The creative designs, the logistical details, the 'friendor' relationships. I missed it all. I decided to dive back into events, most specifically weddings, giving me the opportunity to connect with all these beautiful couples and a whole new set of vendors.

The Social Butterfly Wedding Co.

“In truth, the only reason I was initially looking to hire a "day-of coordinator" is because the wedding venue required it. That said, within moments of working with Jerica on our wedding I knew that I would hire her over and over again even if there had been no requirement to do so. Jerica and Stephanie went above and beyond what I, and really my entire wedding party, expected from a "day-of coordinator." From our initial conversations in the planning phase to the rehearsal to the morning of the wedding to the end of the night, they were on top of everything. Everyone kept complimenting me for being such a "calm" bride -- I can now say they had a lot to do with that. I was able to be present on my wedding day because I could trust completely that any issues that might arise, they would have the know-how and confidence to handle them. In fact, I learned later that the ceremony would have been a total disaster had Jerica and Stephanie not stepped up and took control of the situation. The experience Jerica has accumulated in all of her past endeavors lends itself beautifully to this new role. I wholeheartedly recommend and actually urge anyone looking for a wedding coordinator to do themselves a favor by hiring Jerica and her team.”

At Mostest, we believe every couple deserves a wedding that feels completely, authentically theirs. We use a modern approach with using our own AI event planning platform with our team of planning experts! With over 2,000 weddings planned & coordinated across New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and all across the US - we've seen it all, planned it all, and perfected the art of making your day run seamlessly. We specialize in luxury weddings, micro and intimate ceremonies, multicultural and cultural celebrations, and budget-forward planning — because beautiful weddings aren't one-size-fits-all, and neither are we.

“I am so happy that I used Mostest to help me with my wedding. If you are on the fence about a day of coordinator, PLEASE make sure that you get one. Weeks leading up to my wedding I was becoming burnt out. My amazing coordinator, Arianna, did such an amazing job taking charge of getting my ducks in a row and also keeping everything running smoothly during my wedding day. I appreciate her so much! I also had an amazing content creator, Nicolette, who was so sweet and was able to pull together content through her own creative lense while still understanding my vision. I opted for a content creator instead of a videographer, and don’t regret this decision at all. I was elated to receive my reels the next evening, and have watched them every day since. They are so good, and highlighted all of the happiest and most beautiful moments. Lastly, thank you to Katherine for her help with my SBB floral set up and return. I’m so pleased with Mostest. My best friend will also trust Mostest with her upcoming wedding this year, after seeing such a positive outcome.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Pennywell Events. From our first call, she understood my “crash my elopement” vision and was all in. We traveled from Michigan to New Orleans wanting something between an elopement and a full wedding, no easy task, especially without a firm guest count. She handled everything flawlessly, planning for 20–30 guests (we had 23), securing a stunning dinner venue, and creating an elevated, intimate experience. The second line she arranged was unforgettable and still talked about by our guests, and the photographer she connected us with was perfect, giving us the best photos around the city. As an out of state bride, I felt completely taken care of. She brought our vision to life better than I imagined and at a price point that exceeded expectations. Truly an amazing experience.”

“Working with Clare & Co Events was an absolute dream for our wedding day! From the start, Clare's communication style was incredibly thorough, thoughtful and intentional - she left no detail unattended. Her proactive approach meant she thought of everything we hadn't, ensuring our wedding day went off without a hitch. The value Clare provided was unmatched - she truly brought a sense of peace and calm to our entire wedding experience. When an unexpected rain shower threatened to derail our outdoor ceremony, Clare quickly pivoted and had a backup plan ready, allowing us to proceed without skipping a beat. She seamlessly coordinated with all our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page and in the right place. Beyond the day-of coordination, Clare went above and beyond, making sure our personal belongings were safely packed up and our reception space was cleaned up at the end of the night. All of our vendors raved about how wonderful it was to work with her. I truly don't know how we would have pulled off such an incredible wedding day without Clare's expertise and guidance. She is worth every dollar!”

Hey, yall! I’m Kiara, the heart and hustle behind La Petite Creations— wedding planner, vibe curator, and your go-to-girl for making wedding magic happen. At La Petite Creations, our goal is to make each event fun and stress-free. My commitment to wedding planning is the heart of what I do, ensuring each client receives a highly customized experience, with trusted expertise and a pop of personality every single time.

“I’m not even sure where to begin. I reached out to Kiara @ La Petite Creations in July 2024, when I first began planning my June 2025 destination wedding. I had come across her business page on social media, and reached out to inquire about a consultation. I knew that I wanted a very personalized experience & felt that I would get that from LPC. After our first conversation, I knew that I had made the right choice. Throughout my entire wedding planning period, Kiara exceeded my expectations. We planned an entire destination wedding weekend for 100 of our relatives close friends. Kiara helped plan our welcome party, as well as our wedding ceremony reception. Our entire process was collaborative, and Kiara perfectly balanced bringing my vision to life while adding all of the special touches that she knew we needed. She was always responsive, professional, and energetic. Whenever I had a concern or frustration, she always assured me that everything would come together perfectly. And it absolutely did. Our weekend was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have done it without Kiara and the LPC staff. Kiara is extremely creative, and was able to design so many customized details for our wedding weekend. Our guests loved the logo, the wedding newspaper, and the wedding merch station — all designed by Kiara. Every single base was covered, down to the pre-scheduled messages that guests received throughout the weekend to keep them informed. What began as a casual inquiry in the very beginning stages of planning the most important weekend of my life, ended with me not only having the most perfect celebration of my love story with my favorite people, but finding genuine friendship in Kiara. The cherry on top? My family & friends absolutely loved her! I’m forever grateful to her for making sure that our weekend was memorable for us and our guests.”

I'm very Type A, so I had everything planned out, but they were lovely to regularly check in with and spit ideas off of and helped to refine my vision. I did all my planning out of state and sight unseen, so I was definitely nervous to arrive and see all my vendors and decor when I arrived, but Adam and Brandon really picked up the ball and ran with it once I arrived to NOLA. They were so helpful the day before to help run last minute errands and we luckily got into the venue early to set everything up. My friend was officiating, so they helped with the timing of the ceremony and everything. The day of they did an AMAZING job in finishing all the decorating and helping to flip the space from ceremony to reception. Even before the wedding, they picked us all up breakfast and coffee which was so sweet. I was honestly so at ease the day of the wedding because they anticipated every need. After everything, I can definitely say these guys are friends and I'm so happy we went with them because they really went above and beyond to help execute the most wonderful and stress free day.”

“Leshelle was incredible and truly made the wedding of our dreams come to life! We had a relatively short timeline from when we reached out until the big day AND we live outside of NYC now so were planning remotely, but Leshelle helped keep us on track and manage deadlines. She provided several strong recommendations for vendors and helped us vet the ones we found ourselves. As we got closer to the day, she took over full management of vendor communications and helped troubleshoot and provide options for a problematic vendor last minute a week before the wedding. The day of the wedding Leshelle, was right in the actions ensuring all the vendors strictly adhered to our time schedule. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone smoother and that is a direct reflection of Leshelle’s actions. Even more than that we felt like we had a true friend and ally during the whole process as time and time again, Leshelle acted as both a sounding board and steady hand that provided reassurance during the most stressful times of planning. Our only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of her full planning service package!”

Beloved Getaways

“If you are even thinking of a destination wedding, I highly recommend you work with Mindi Phillips! She is extremely knowledgeable and genuine and so easy to talk to! The whole time I felt like she was a good friend who understood me. She is quick to respond to emails and when my fiancé and I had an opening in our schedules and wanted to tour venues in Cancun literally the next week she was proactive in booking us a room and scheduling tours with multiple wedding coordinators and hotels that fit our criteria. She truly went above and beyond what we expected!!! Thank you Mindi, our wedding would not have been made possible if not for you. Allison”
