With big events come big expectations. We’ll meet those ... and then some.
Our full-service, concierge-style luxury wedding planning & design services include everything from initial concept to installation ... from engagement parties turned surprise weddings to calling the cops to shut it down because that’s the only way the bride agreed to leave the dance floor.
Whatever your hopes for your celebration—from a separate, hidden dessert room with 30 options ready for its own grand reveal mid-reception to a 12-piece band playing full-tilt to welcome your guests into your after party—we’ll make it into unforgettable, real-life memories.
We help our clients plan beautifully memorable, highly personalized events — without having to stay on top of it yourself.
Because, even though planning your wedding is a priority, coordinating the meticulous details shouldn’t have to be.
Not only do you need someone orchestrating every element that will bring your celebration to life—you need a luxury wedding planning team with the expertise to pull inspiration from unexpected and meaningful places, design a celebration that’s unique to you, and bring it all together in a seamless, cohesive way
That’s where we come in with our carefully crafted planning process. We take your ideas & priorities, gather inspiration from your experiences & favorite activities, and develop a custom design for your celebration—all while making sure every piece of the experience is executed to the highest degree of excellence.
Then you are able to enjoy your celebration alongside your guests—cool, calm, & collected—and be blown away when it’s everything you could’ve imagined and more. You’re looking for the best wedding planners in California, Arizona, Mexico, and beyond—and that’s what you’re going to get.
We believe weddings should not only be beautiful but also honor your guests’ experience through every facet of your event's design.
(And everyone should have a damn good time, too.)
All you need to do is give us somewhere to start—we’ll take care of everything else.

“We were blown away by the beauty & overall environment of our wedding.”
“From the very first meeting, Mandy & her team put us at complete ease. I am a corporate event planner but didn’t want the stress of planning my own wedding. Never once was I stressed or worried about my wedding—which was completely unexpected, but the best feeling ever! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone as organized, creative, and dedicated as I would have been myself, but I actually ended up learning things from Mandy Marie Events that I’ve implemented in my own career.”

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.
● Vendor 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

JESSICA & HUTTON
"I was the bride who had no idea what I wanted. I didn't have a Pinterest or inspiration. I didn't have any of that, but I knew exactly what I didn't want. I'm an executive—so I wanted a very low lift for my wedding. I wanted to be able to trust somebody and let them execute it. I manage enough details for my career—I didn't really want to have to manage this, too."

AMY + SEAN
"It's very rare to find a professional who listens to your vision and knows how to bring it to life instantaneously.
I have incredibly high standards and gave the Mandy Marie Events 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."

ANDI + NOAH
"My husband and I worked with the Mandy Marie Events team 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." "They have you covered from the most basic request to the most complex contract, always with your best interest at heart."
