Hiring Ask for the Moon Events was the best decision we made for our wedding. We decided to go with the partial planning package. We had all of the planning meetings we needed and she coordinated all of our RSVPs (CANNOT understate how huge this was especially with a high guest count wedding) and the 15 hours was a perfect amount of time. I had a general idea of what I wanted for my wedding but it was really just piecemeal ideas pulled from Pinterest. Maddie was able to help perfectly pull it together into one vision. She was always there to offer guidance and drive the overall concept enabling us to make quick and easy decisions. Of note, Maddie has a fantastic network of vendors which made life so much easier. We ended up with about 13 different vendors (outside of the venue) and not having to do our own research for each vendor saved an enormous amount of time. All of Maddie's vendor recommendations did a fantastic job. In terms of the day of, it couldn't have been better. It started the night before with the most well-done rehearsal I've ever been to. Maddie came in and really took control which allowed us to rehearse in about 20 minutes. She was there on the day of at exactly the time she said she would be and coordinated all of the vendors and ceremony setup/reception room flip. The ceremony and reception room were setup exactly as I had been envisioning. It was truly perfect. She made sure everything happened when it was supposed to and if something went wrong...I never knew about. The planning process and day of would not have been as smooth without Maddie and her team. Our wedding was perfect and a large part of it was due to how Maddie ran the show. We could not be more grateful to Ask for the Moon Events. Hire her if you want the perfect wedding! read more

Maddie was the best money spent in our wedding planning process! We hired her for day-of coordination, which also includes an upfront planning meeting and some vendor contact leading up to the big day. Her enthusiasm and professionalism was exceptional in our pre-meetings and during our wedding weekend. She was very quick to respond to messages and helped us organize all our information and props for the day. She made us feel so confident and calm as the wedding date approached because she reached out to all our vendors to confirm date, location, and other details with them a month in advance and then again a week in advance. She also helped chase down our cake vendor who was delinquent on sending our contract and communicating with us - so nice to have that back up! Then, the day-of the event, my makeup artist was late so Maddie tracked her down and made sure we got back on schedule. Maddie and her assistants set up the reception area at the country club, and it was far beyond what we ever imagined we could do with the space!! It was seriously gorgeous and worked so well for our planned agenda and guest track flow during the event. She created our vision with such specific detail that we were utterly impressed! Then, the whole afternoon/evening she organized all the big moments of the reception, kept everyone in place, answered questions, made sure we were constantly happy, and solved every single little thing that popped up without even bothering us so we could have fun! She was such a god-send, and our parents were also just so impressed. The day would not have been nearly as fun or as beautifully decorated without her expert skills, and we are so grateful for her! HIGHLY recommend!!!! read more

Maddie and her team at Ask For The Moon (AFTM) events went above and beyond what we were expecting for our wedding day. We hired AFTM for day of wedding coordination after friend recommended working with AFTM. My friend noted how thoughtful, organized and detail oriented Maddie and her team were for her wedding. Based on my friend's recommendation, I was expecting a lot, but Maddie and her team exceeded those expectations. She was so helpful in making sure all my questions were answered leading up to the day and it was so helpful to have her as a resource for etiquette and logistics questions with my mom, mother-in-law and maid of honor all being out of state. Maddie was not only helpful when it came to planning and executing the logistics of our day, she was also just a joy to be around. She kept everyone excited but calm as the stress and jitters kicked in for the big day. Any detail we forgot (like bringing champagne to pop for pictures), Maddie had handled. She made me feel confident that everything would get done and I could just relax and enjoy the day. Every minor glitch or hiccup that happened along the way was immediately taken care of by Maddie and her team. I actually wasn't even aware of any snafu along the way because Maddie was so on top of it! We were very lucky to have them in our corner. We can't praise this team enough and will always remember how much they helped make our day as wonderful as it was! Thanks again AFTM! read more

I cannot say enough about the peace of mind we had by having Ask for the Moon Events on our side. Prior to the wedding day, Angie asked what was left for planning and what the most important parts of our our day would be. She helped establish a thorough timeline and shared that with our vendors. She kept in touch with me and our vendors to make sure the day would run smoothly. She kept me in the loop for what I needed to know and took care of the rest. She sent helpful vendor suggestions as well as checklists so we didn't forget any of the important pieces. Angie was our Day-Of Coordinator and she was fabulous. In addition to Angie, Maddie, the owner of the company was her assistant for the day. Angie and Maddie handled the set-up for the tables/centerpieces, running of the ceremony, keeping the schedule on track, moving chairs, and so much more. Angie came in the morning to check on me right away and had a mimosa in hand one hand and an emergency kit in her other hand. Maddie sat on the floor in her dress to fix the bustle on mine. I knew that my husband and I would be able to enjoy the day without too many "where do you want this" or "what time were they supposed to be here" interruptions that we've seen at other weddings. Amazing price and value for the services we were provided and would HIGHLY recommend Ask for the Moon Events to anyone. Love to Angie, Maddie, and the team! read more

Hiring Ask For The Moon was by far the smartest decision we made in preparing for our daughter's wedding. Of course, we benefited greatly from all their know-how in the industry: from vendor lists, to troubleshooting, to wedding etiquette, to ideation, to timelines. Beyond that, our outstanding coordinator, Angie Veches, lifted all the anxiety and worry from us and allowed us to be fully present, enjoy, and celebrate the joyous marriage of our daughter. We had a few vendors that had some minor issues along the way, but guess what? Angie kept in contact with them and marshalled them all to execute the wedding of my daughter's dreams. My daughter, who initially thought I was crazy to spend money for a day-of wedding coordinator, also became Angie's biggest fan. Without any reservations, we would highly recommend Ask For The Moon, from the first conversation with owner, Maddie, to the exemplary, warm, and knowledgeable leadership of Angie every step along the way; you will be so glad you hired them! Exceptional service. Most importantly, we thank you, Angie, for allowing us to truly savor the beautiful day, ceremony, dinner and dance. The bride and groom told us the next day, "Thank you for giving us the happiest day of our lives." Nothing's better than that. And you helped make it happen. We're forever grateful. read more

There are many layers as to why I will be forever grateful to Maddie for helping me plan my wedding. The first being, I live in Chicago and had to plan my wedding remotely. I haven't lived in Minnesota for over a decade and my husband is from upstate New York so we didn't know where to start as far as vendors in the Saint Paul/Minneapolis area. (I will admit, I started with search yelp for wedding planners.) Secondly, I wanted a completely unconventional wedding day. I didn't want a dance or a church ceremony or to throw my bouquet. My vision was to invite guests to play yard games while still maintaining an upscale atmosphere. Third layer of complication, I'm super particular. Maddie the magician and her team orchestrated all of my requests into an exact replica of the wedding day I envisioned. She will never admit this, but I suspect she also controlled the weather. I mean what are the chances that the only sunny day in a five day forecast of storms and rain, my wedding day turned out to be a perfect sunny 80 degree day:) From suggesting JenMar Creations who hand crafted a dress for me, to finding a sketch artist who could draw chic fashion sketches of my guests Maddie found a solution to every curve ball I threw. Thanks again Ask For the Moon Events! read more

Angie from Ask the Moon provided excellent planning advice with prompt communications. She effectively coordinated all other vendors with the event space to ensure everyone arrived on time and at the right place. However, Angie's best performance was definitely on our actual wedding day. She had a timeline that she had available to everyone helping out that day so no one was confused. We had a lot of friends/family that volunteered to help set-up flowers and Angie put them to work! Most importantly, was Angies' ability to do damage control - our DJ was super late and ended up arriving just before the ceremony started. But Angie was on the ball - I don't exactly know what happened but Angie was able to make sure he was set up and ready to go. No one at our wedding even know something had gone wrong - which is the real reason to hire a wedding coordinator!! Angie was such a good coordinator I felt I needed to make a yelp account so I could leave as much beneficial feedback as possible. read more

Hiring Maddie and Tara for my day-of coordinators (more like a year) was the absolute BEST decision I made for my wedding. From the first meeting, I knew it was going to be amazing. They are so easy and fun to work with - they actually made wedding planning easy and fun! Weeks before the wedding, I provided them my vendor list and they took off and successfully coordinated all vendor timelines. The day came and everything went PERFECTLY - flowers, trolley, linens, DJ, etc. on time and exactly how I envisioned. Another special thing about them was that it felt as if they were my friends helping me get through the day and not another vendor. They truly cared about making the day as perfect as possible and took a lot of stress away from me and my family. Tara kept me calm (and cool given the excessive heat). Thank you so much for helping make my day so perfect!! I cannot express how grateful I am. read more

Wow! Just wow. Hiring Ask for the Moon Events was the best wedding decision I made next to marrying my husband! Maddie and Anna were instrumental in making our special day a stress-free and special one. They are incredible professionals who think of every detail and ensure your big day is all that you could have ever asked for and more. My husband and I hired Ask for the Moon events as Day of Coordinators for our wedding and our day-after brunch and boat outing. We had a lot of guests visiting from out of town, so it was really important to us that our family focus on fun while Ask for the Moon Events handled all the behind-the-scene details. We are forever grateful and highly recommend their full suite of services. read more

Maddie is amazing. I cannot express how grateful I was to have Maddie's help for our daughter's wedding.

Angie was our day of wedding coordinator. Her help and suggestions were limitless. To be able to spend my wedding day not worrying about setup or any vendors was priceless. If I have friends planning a wedding the one piece of advice I now give them is to get a wedding planner. I seriously do not know how I could have done it without them. Angie was available night and day for not only me but my family as well. Don't think twice set up a meeting. read more

I can't recommend her highly enough. read more
