    I'm a Chicago gal who was trying to plan a wedding in SW Michigan (or anywhere between Detroit and…read moreChicago) to keep it close to home and family. I was initially reluctant to use a wedding/event planner for several reasons - wanting to save money, being fairly crafty/creative myself and having confidence in handling on my own details in pursuing something less "traditional", and being pretty resourceful. Shortly into the planning process, I realized it was going to be harder than I thought. I then met Mandi Buckland of Element Design. What sealed the deal was her calm energy and diversity in events she's worked on (weddings, parties, festivals, including "green" fests/events). She was great in identifying several unique wedding location options in Southwest and Southern MI, including a fabulous barn, a garden, and a super cool lodge (we ended up at a mansion in Holland). When I asked her to design the invitations with a "modern art nouveau theme" using a peacock to match the theme of a mansion built in the early 1900s (not easy!) - she provided several fabulous sample designs within a short period of time. Our final invitations were really unique and fun! After our invites went out, I received an unexpected amount of of great feedback ("I love your invitations!" "They are so unique," etc.) and I could tell they made people look forward to the wedding. I felt like Mandi figured out my sense of my style quickly, and she was able to identify options that fit that were creative, cost-conscious (extra plus) and didn't compromise on quality. At the same time she was working with me, she was helping a friend design invitations for a wedding at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, so her range of work can be simple, arty/less traditional, to more traditional/upscale. Pretty impressive! Mandi is professional, efficient, super creative, and I would recommend her to anyone in Chicago, Detroit (or anywhere in between the two cities in Michigan or Illinois) who is planning a wedding in Southwest or Southern Michigan!

    Mandi was our day of coordinator and she was great and a real pro. She was always very responsive…read moreand available whenever we had any questions. I've been to a lot of weddings, but when its yours, there's alot of things you don't know or anticipate and Mandi definitely helped us in numerous ways. I can't think of a wedding planner doing a more complete, competent, and creative job. Kudos to you Mandi!

    My husband and I got married on 9/09/23 in Redondo Beach and hired Whitney as our coordinator…read more There are not enough words to describe how amazing her and her assistances were. She is easy to communicate with and has a wealth of information. She communicated with our vendors so well that everything went so smoothly and the transition was so effortless. Our wedding day went without a hitch! We had no stress (probably because Whitney was behind the scenes taking care of everything) and we really enjoyed our wedding day. If you are getting married and looking for a planner/coordinator, look no further. You will not regret hiring Whitney.

    Whitney was an amazing wedding planner who helped plan both my wedding and bridal shower. She…read moreprovided me with a step-by-step timeline when I first got engaged and checked in with me very often to see how everything was going. Whenever I needed to ask a question or get some guidance, she was available. I can honestly say that thanks to her help the planning process was stress free. My shower completely exceeded my expecations. The set up and flow of the shower was awesome! She was there as support and helped fight for me with my venue as we had construction disaster the day prior to my wedding and day of. She and her assistants did everything possible to make sure that the day of my wedding went very smoothly and timely and were beyond efficient with set up and clean up. They worked miracles on my wedding and I could not have been happier!
