Well - I am a girl of my word. When my now husband proposed, one of the first phone calls I made was to Morgan at Spreading Lovely. Morgan is EXCEPTIONAL at what she does. From the moment I hired her, I already felt a sense of peace knowing that I had the best possible person in place to execute my wedding to perfection... Morgan and her team did exactly that. Morgan was hired for month of coordination services. From our first meeting it was clear that her primary goal was to make and keep me happy - I felt her genuine care and concern around every detail. She was so "locked in" at that meeting that it was clear NOTHING would slip through the cracks. Through the entire experience, it felt like I was working with an absolute pro and also a genuine friend. Morgan always had my interests and well-being in mind and knew exactly what to do in every scenario. Morgan went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my day was special, flawless and exactly what I was dreaming of. I am forever grateful to Morgan and her team. They gave me the greatest gift of all - the ability to LET GO. As an admitted control freak and professional wedding planner - handing over your day to someone else to run with is scary. Well... not with Morgan at the helm of the ship. When the day of the wedding came, the unthinkable happened - I did not worry about a single detail. If you knew me, you'd realize what an insane feat this is. This is the true testament of Morgan and her greatness. If you are looking for a wedding planner that is equal parts professional, bad ass and kind - look no further then Morgan Miller!

After interviewing a ton of other planners and partial planners that all seemed to blur together, talking to Morgan was like talking to a friend. She has a calm demeanor, but you can see she has a passion for what she does and excitement she brings to all of her clients. That passion was evident throughout the entire process and her calmness was such an asset when any issue or stress-point would come up. The entire process was a joy, which I know is not the case in wedding planning so often. Morgan was able to create a design brief from our all-over-the-board style to a cohesive look and feel for the wedding that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, but still felt so us. She helped us find rentals for what we could rent and pointed us in the direction for the cheapest options to buy other items which was so helpful. The end result was not only stunning, but more importantly stress-free for us and our parents which was the most important thing we wanted out of a planner. Numerous guests, after-the-fact, commented how all of us just looked so happy and stress-free. Guests pick up on that, and they were totally right - we were able to completely enjoy ever minute of the wedding weekend. Both my husband and I cannot say enough good things about Morgan. Hire her today - you will not regret it!

She is both professional and passionate about her job and she truly loves weddings and brings each couple's unique dreams to reality. She was always quick to respond to my 1,000 emails and answer any question/concerns that I had and was always always there for me.

So I hear that planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful and chaotic, but with Michelle…read more(a.k.a. MB) in our corner, not a drop of sweat graced my forehead. On the days leading up-to our wedding, the most common comment wasn't "Congratulations", but rather "You two look sOoo relaxed!" For a time-crunched and creatively-challenged couple, MB proved to be a true live saver. We opted for MB's full wedding package and over the course of 13 months we met with MB on numerous occasions to plan our Big Day. MB put a ton of energy into understanding the dynamics of the relationship between now-wife and I, and ultimately crafted an event to match our unique personalities. MB and her team handled everything from scheduling vendor meetings, contract management, design/theme/decor, day-of time line, etc. It goes without saying that our wedding day went off without a hitch and far surpassed each and every one of our expectations. MB created a truly stylish, modern, and contemporary wedding event that I think about everyday and can't help but smile.

It took me a long time to write a review because I wanted to put it behind me, but sometimes you need closure. I write this with all honesty, because I couldn't make this up even if I wanted to. Planning my wedding was a nightmare, and working with Michelle was no walk in the park-- but I'm happy everyone else had a good time and it all came together. Michelle has a strong personality that we believed would help us move things along, when it instead caused many bumps in the road for me personally. I believe on such an important day the most important thing is to have a clear understanding on both sides of your budget. MB put together a fabulous plan that was 3x our ideal budget. We tried to keep things reasonable, but she pushed many of her own vendors who did not fit into our budget. We tried cutting down our guest list and eliminating what we could. She puts on very high end like weddings and we liked her style, but you can have nice without breaking your bank and your families bank. What bothered me the most was her suggestions on how to deal with family that wanted to help or offer their services. She told us to ask for them to write out a check-if they really wanted to help, so that they could enjoy the event as a guest. In the end, my family helped us with the food, decor, entertainment, programs and favors and I don't regret any of it! There was much stress along the way that was more memorable then the joy of this event. To top it off MB was not even available the week before the event. Instead she was kind enough to send me an email saying she was out of phone range in Nevada for her daughter's softball thing and that I was using up her monthly allotted text messages. It wasn't that I needed her right then and there, but really I had to order boxes and needed the dimensions. She had them in her office, but she wasn't available to answer a simple text to tell me what needed to be ordered. In the end, the event came together and everyone had a wonderful time and I think that was what was most important.

My husband was living out of state (military), I was working full-time and it just felt like mission impossible to pull off a wedding for ~180 guests in 4 months. Amanda's attention-to-detail, thoughtful plans, and caring demeanor made us feel at-ease through every step and most importantly, on the day of the wedding. We were able to enjoy our perfect wedding day because Made to Love Events took care of everything else, so we actually have no clue what issues may have arose, if any. It was important to Amanda that we got our dream wedding, so she was able to secure the location that met each desire: along the water, outdoors, and could fit all of our guests! Thank you Made to Love Events for making our wedding dreams come true!!!

We worked with Katie in the two months leading up to the wedding for coordination only on both the ceremony and reception and I wish I would have hired her earlier and for more! She is a professional with a passion for the events she plans and the visions she's able to bring to life for her clients. (We had a wedding in San Francisco of 90 people with the ceremony and reception in different places.) I was especially grateful for her ability to help us navigate our difference of opinions on planning decisions as a couple by bringing us back to what was important to us on that day. What we envisioned and how we felt was at the center of all of our discussions and her expertise helped us get a realistic grasp on where to invest attention and money and what to deprioritize. She made managing our multiple venues and vendors a breeze. The fact we ever considered not getting help professional like Katie makes me laugh now - that would have been insane. Katie has an organized system and thorough checklist that kept progress transparent, and us accountable and on-track.

She is positive, encouraging, knowledgeable and best of all, she doesn't try to force traditions on you. I had interviewed with a few before her, and was given some slight sideeye.

They give you a handy workbook and timeline and do frequent check ins to make sure nothing is left until the last minute. When it came down to the month of, Jenny and Genevieve took the reigns and made contact with all my vendors so I didn't have anything to think about except my own hair and makeup. To be honest, I'm not a person who trusts other people to take care of the logistics, the tiny details that are so important to me--but RNE far exceeded my expectations. They were a perfect combo of fairy godmothers and NINJAS on the night of, right down to the detail of making sure I ate some food (they made me a plate!)

I cannot recommend working with Mandy highly enough. She is thorough, flexible, organized,…read moredetail-oriented, responsive, and straight forward. She's also fun to work with and she was so genuinely excited about our wedding. Simply wonderful. We hired her right as we started to plan our wedding and spent around 16 months working on it, with a few month-long breaks in the middle when we got really busy with our jobs/travel/other things. Several things stand out to me about her work for us: * My husband and I were long distance at the time, so it made everything planning just a little harder. Mandy handled this with ease. * We wanted to work a little bit of both my cultural and family background (Chinese) and my husband's (Indian and Greek) into the wedding, and Mandy helped us to find creative ways to do so and find vendors who could fulfill these ideas and creative ways. We were especially pleased with our food vendor who Mandy recommended. * I like that she will tell you what she thinks, but also give you space to make decisions. She is open to many ideas and aesthetics, and really helps you to reach the decision that will make not just a beautiful wedding, but *your* beautiful wedding. * Mandy keeps your budget in mind - we came in $3k under our overall budget exactly, and she will let you know. Generally she gives options in a 'low', 'medium', and 'high' range so you get an actual range of choice. * Her network is extensive. It's quite nice because it means that anything you are considering she already has lots of experience working with the possible vendors, and you can piggy back off her good relations. * She plans work in stages and never lets it get overwhelming. This means you get to trust that she's handling the details (and there are details you would never think about on your own, like the catering flow through the venue) and just work on the homework she's assigned. * She is flexible and rolls with the new ideas/changes in plan, bringing enthusiasm and professionalism to these changes in plan. Weddings are a sensitive business. There's so many dreams, aspirations, family obligations, financial constraints tied together. Working with Mandy made handling that so, so much easier. I think about my wedding way too often - and always with joy. (p.c. curtis myers)

Mandy did an excellent job of connecting me to vendors that made my wedding gorgeous. It was aesthetically quite beautiful. But the Day Of coordination was bad. It was somehow my job (?) to keep bridal prep running on schedule. This took me out of the moment. But worse, when the bridal party got behind, she was an absolute tyrant. She was rude to me, my friends and my family. You never yell at a bride on her wedding day! Not to mention-- I didn't hire Day Of coordination to be burdened with duties and chores. On top of that, she didn't allow me time to touch up makeup between photos so I hate my weddding pics. Then, there was "no time" to bundle my dress so there are some stains I can't get out. She was unbelievably unprofessional and shockingly disrespectful. Overall, everyone had a nice time except the people who had to deal with her directly. Including me. I've been hoping to get over it but yes, it's still a year later and she made me feel horrible on my wedding day, like somehow I was unworthy of MY own day. I can not recommend this woman's services.
