Saskia and her team at MOOI come second to none. She helped us with design and month of coordination. She is the queen of design/DIY. Even with very little guidance. I was so busy with work, I had a "just do it" attitude, and she was so observant, an excellent listener, patient, positive, and incredibly proactive and thoughtful. She has so many connections for flowers, music, hair and make up, photo/video, rentals, catering/dessert, beverages/bar, transportation, alterations, that not only work well together but are AWESOME. She can help brainstorm and also has lots of budget-friendly ideas. She is insanely organized, making all the balls in the air and irons in the fire a walk in the park. Every little detail was considered to a ridiculous degree. She has exceptional extra team members who can be a "task rabbit" to tie up any loose ends, and anything you forgot on the day of. Special thank you to the set-up crew: Karen Ng, Michael Cherry, and Israel Moreno. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Saskia was the best! Working with MOOI Weddings was a game-changer for me. As a former exhibit/event designer, I wanted to help my niece with certain aspects of their wedding. Saskia was able to weave the couples vision and my elements for a cohesive look. Saskia communication style is refreshingly straightforward--they kept everyone in the loop with clear updates and stayed focused on what actually mattered for the day. What impressed me most was how conscientious they were about the details; nothing fell through the cracks despite the complexity of our setup. They were genuinely resourceful when it came to collaborating with me, making sure all creative visions aligned seamlessly. MOOI Weddings didn't just check boxes--they invested in understanding the overall aesthetic and made it happen flawlessly. I'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for planners who truly care about getting it right. read more

We hired MOOI weddings for our September 2023 wedding in San Francisco and had a great experience. Saskia had so much insight and thought of many things I hadn't considered - so valuable! Saskia's expertise helped to reduce the stress that comes with wedding planning. I especially appreciated the month-of venue walk-throughs; those made me feel much more prepared and at ease. Saskia was also a wonderful partner to our other vendors and everyone felt good about where they needed to be and when. The day-of, Saskia was punctual, organized and a calming presence. I was so grateful to have her there. Our wedding day felt perfect, flowing exactly, if not better, than we imagined. I was super appreciative and impressed by Saskia's ability to perfectly bustle my dress, despite the complicated French bustle. Saskia and her team did an excellent job from start to finish and I am so thankful. I highly recommend MOOI! read more

We are SO beyond happy to have worked with Saskia & the MOOI team for our recent wedding. We had a very far from traditional venue and wedding, but from the very first meeting Saskia totally understood our vision and was an absolutely integral part of bringing it to life. On the day of, we had a number of unexpected challenges come up with our venue. Luckily Saskia & the MOOI crew handled all the fires and shielded us from the bulk of the BS We are so thankful that they had our backs and made sure that everything ran the way we had envisioned. This is the kind of crew that you'll hope you can get together with for drinks long after the wedding is over! Super cool and fun team, thank you again so much for everything! read more

Maya Hann-Bird makes it happen! After the pandemic delayed what was supposed to be our May 2020 wedding, we were understandably apprehensive about whether we were actually going to be able to pull off our early August 2021 wedding. Enter the incomparable Maya Hann-Bird: from the first moment we met her, she was on it. She radiates calm and competence and is an absolute badass at getting stuff done. When we had to make some major last minute adjustments to the reception concept in order to stay in line with evolving COVID regulations, she nailed it. When, on the Wednesday before the wedding, our venue warned us they may cancel on us--she stayed calm and made sure the wedding happened. 1000 stars out of 10, we can't possibly recommend her more highly. read more

TL:DR I am so so thankful that I had the opportunity to work with Saskia and the team, my wedding was made possible with their efforts and they made it look flawless on a budget. Professional, detail-oriented, flexible, and exceptionally kind- Saskia and her staff (Fuego, Lauren, Kaitlin, Louella, and Julie) were so amazing to work with! My wedding was anything but straightforward (rescheduled due to the pandemic, almost canceled for a second time due to pregnancy complications), and without Saskia I am confident we would not have been able to pull it off. I had initially intended to plan and execute everything myself to save money, but I am so glad I went with this team because not only did all of my DIY ambitions require coordinating, Saskia also helped me figure out how I could have the wedding I wanted within my budget (e.g., Saskia sent me recommendations for charcuterie items to pick up from costco and her team constructed a beautiful grazing board for our wedding day appetizers)! If you're on the fence about it and want to "get it all done yourself" I'd highly recommend you reconsider- having Saskia's support for the month of coordination and her staff for the event really ensured that I could fully relax and enjoy the event with my friends and family because I knew everything was being taken care of. She coordinated with all of my vendors, gave me the tools to set up multiple floor plans, spreadsheets to organize what was needed/ensure all items were brought to the venue, and fielded my many questions leading up to the big day. Her kindness was also unmatched- I was released from the hospital the day before our wedding (complicated pregnancy), and Saskia showed up TO OUR HOUSE to help bring over items to the venue and review the plan. She also connected with all of our vendors to keep them updated so that I didnt have to make all those calls myself. Then to top it off, at the end of our event, Saskia presented us with a beautiful handmade bib for our baby. Working with her team felt so much more than working with "just another vendor"; It was like having more knowledgeable (and fashionable) clones of myself who also wanted to see my vision come alive just as much as I did. read more

We are SO appreciative of the Mooi team for all of their hard work in making our wedding day run as perfectly as it did. We were lucky to work with Mara, who is absolutely the best. Throughout the planning process Mara went above and beyond. She is supportive, calm, and super responsive. Our families were blown away by her thorough timelines and attention to detail. She patiently helped us understand the logistics and double checked everything to ensured there were no holes in our planning. Thank you!!!! It feels weird that we won't be in touch with Mara every day anymore, haha. We miss her already! The Mooi team helped us find a few additional team members. They recommended a bartender, Kaitlin, who was fantastic, and were able to find additional staff to support with some of our logistics. They also have a rental catalogue, which came in handy for a few last minute items (card box, frames for bar menus, etc.). Everything ran so smoothly on the day of the wedding (at least from our perspective)! We didn't have to worry about anything and were able to be fully present and enjoy the time with our friends and family. We're so appreciative of the Mooi team. read more

We reached out to Mooi for a month of wedding planning/coordination and really emphasized that we wanted a casual, fun, and unique wedding experience. They were the first wedding planners we talked to who seemed to understand what we were looking for. Carolyn was amazing to work with and she was integral in helping us focus on the things that really mattered to us. She put so much work into making our vision a reality and for an entire weekend! She provided a lot of ideas that added so much to the experience and that we wouldn't have thought of. She also really helped minimize costs which can quickly balloon with a wedding for 150 people! She was also just a pleasure to be around and to talk to, calming us when our anxiety reached extremes. We aren't sure how we would have gotten through it all without her! Cannot recommend Mooi enough! read more

5 Stars truly does not capture the work Saskia, Hannah and her team did for our wedding - they pulled off a MIRACLE! The TL;DR we had to reschedule our wedding not once, but twice. Once to the pandemic, the second time 10 days before our wedding due to a flood at Stern Grove. The city had reserved us space at a new venue that did not work with everything we had planned for the last 2 years. Saskia jumped in to save the day, talked with the head of Parks and Rec for SF, and was able to find us a beautiful unknown gem in the city, Sunnyside Conservatory, that they were not going to let us book initially. Saskia made it happen! As for vision, planning, assisting my wife and I every step of the way, we could not have asked for a better group to work with. I know they had multiple weddings impacted due to the floods, and we felt like the only wedding they had. :-) Special shoutout to Hannah for helping us orchestrate the day-of logistics - nothing but rave reviews from the entire wedding on the venue, decorations, flow, and the people. read more

Mooi - Wedding Planning Near Me

There's so much you have to deal with when planning your wedding. A lot of the vendors do a great job in providing a quote and selling their product, but I have a full time job and a life outside of planning a wedding, and although I'm very organized and a natural planner, there were so many small details that I just never thought about or knew how to even tackle. Hiring Carolyn at Mooi Weddings as our event coordinator was the best thing we did. My only regret is that we didn't book the full services and had her work with us from the very beginning. Months leading up to the wedding, Carolyn was flexible with her time and very helpful. I also respected that she wasn't a simple "yes" woman. She is the expert and knew more than us what were our realistic limitations. Trust me this is important. She helped us make our dream wedding happen while keeping in mind our budget and amount of time we had on our wedding day. My family and guests absolutely loved her as well and they aren't easy to please. We highly recommend Carolyn! Our wedding was the best day ever and it ran smoothly from beginning to end. She maintained a level of professionalism and also was very approachable. We loved them! read more

We reached out to Mooi for month-of-coordination for our wedding at OVY Camp, who listed them as a recommended vendor. We're so glad Mara & Saskia were available on our date. Saskia was thorough, attentive, and communicative leading up to the event to best understand the vision and materials we'd planned for the weekend. Her input was invaluable due to Mooi's familiarity with OVY Camp, and in identifying the areas of preparation that we'd overlooked. Mara's coordination on the day of made all the difference. It allowed us (and our parents!) to be present and fully enjoy our wedding day we spent so much time planning for. We can't thank Mooi enough for helping to create a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives. read more

I honestly feel emotional writing this review because Saskia and the MOOI team made our wedding preparation smooth and the day itself absolutely magical. We hired Saskia to help us with our wedding at Stern Grove on October 15th, 2022. My partner and I were very nervous about pulling off a wedding and we literally could not have done it without Saskia and her team. Stern Grove has a lot of particulars that Saskia is very familiar with which we wouldn't have been able to understand or navigate without her. We went for the Full Design package as well as Month of Coordination and it was sooooo worth it! Our wedding was totally our style, and Saskia was so helpful in both honoring our vision and giving great advice. She helped us navigate many different vendors and helped us save so much money by working with her community and connections! Need a bartender? She's got it! Need a designer? She's got it! Need a super cute bohemian couch situation? She's got it!! Throughout the entire planning process when we felt stressed out about something, my partner and I could send Saskia a quick text or have a phone call and she would help us make the right decisions. Leading up to the wedding and the day itself, I had full trust in MOOI so I could truly relax and enjoy this big day!! Look no further for an amazing wedding coordinator and her team. You won't be disappointed! read more

Saskia was incredible!! Thankfully our wedding took place before Covid and Saskia made sure that we had a perfect wedding day! Saskia and her team made sure that everything was set leading up to the big day and the wedding day went without a flaw! I did not work with Saskia as much as my wife did but I know that Saskia took a lot of stress off of my wife which was most important to me. I could not imagine my wife being stressed on our wedding day and Saskia made sure that she wasn't stressed at all! We would highly recommend Saskia for your wedding!! read more

Carolyn was such a blessing! She is kind, creative, encouraging, super organized, patient, and responsive. She made us feel like her only client and provided support throughout the entire process from the planning stages to packing everything up. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and she made it special, memorable, and stress-free! Since I did most of the wedding planning, the hubby did all the reviewing! Read his comments below: My wife and I came to Carolyn after abruptly leaving a relationship with a mediocre (at best), slightly unreliable wedding planner. We were also planning the wedding from across the country, already over budget, strapped for time, super ambitious, unfamiliar with wedding planning, and super specific with what we hoped for. In order to ensure our new planner was able to handle the challenge, we laid this all out for Carolyn during the first phone consult. She didn't even blink as we explained all of this; she confidently and reassuringly told us that this was all part of her job and she'd take on the challenge with open arms. Since that initial phone call, Carolyn repeatedly, pleasantly surprised us. She clearly knows this business and this process and has systems set up for everything. Every new decision came equipped with a perfectly mapped-out spreadsheet. Every deliverable came early and better than we'd pictured. Carolyn was able to take our very-specific, yet poorly articulated dreams, and make them into a reality. E.g. "Carolyn, you know those lights that kinda make you feel like you're in heaven?.... We want those." Carolyn knew that these were called 'fairy lights.' She ordered them for us and hung them exactly as we'd dreamed! After a week or two of working with Carolyn, my wife (then fiance) and I were able to chill out, knowing that, as long as Carolyn was in our lives, we wouldn't need a wedding to-do list, we wouldn't need a perfectly organized google calendar- she'd be there to bring things along and remind us of anything we'd overlooked. I don't mean to imply that Carolyn did everything, but she did make us confident with what we were doing. And she did make all that we did a little bit better. Her email, text, and phone call turnaround time was scary quick... like within 30 minutes a lot of the time! At one point, Carolyn left town for a small vacation. She told us about it weeks in advance, sending several reminders along the way. When her trip finally came around, she reminded us she'd be slightly out of reach, but assuring us she'd still try to work while traveling. This was, clearly, going wayy above and wayy beyond what we'd expected of her, but this demonstrates Carolyn's commitment to her work and to her clients. Needless to say, Carolyn improved our wedding planning experience and our wedding exponentially. The days leading up to the event, as stress and pressure mounted, Carolyn was in constant communication, reminding us only of what we needed to know each day, reminding us of when to be where, what to bring when, etc. By the time the wedding actually began, Carolyn was by our side (not obtrusively, but reassuringly). She's easily worth twice of what she charges. She'll do three times what she advertises. And when we need to plan our kid's bar-mitzvah, she'll be our first pick. Thanks Carolyn! read more

Saskia and her team were absolutely incredible! We hired her for month-of coordination and design consultation for our wedding, as well as full planning services for our rehearsal dinner and day-after picnic. We had to change our wedding venue with 29 days to go due to the infamous flooding at Stern Grove. Saskia stepped up, and was amazingly supportive in helping us find our new ceremony and reception site. She was there with us, and was truly empathetic as we navigated what could have been a disastrous situation. The day of the wedding went smoothly despite all of the re-planning, thanks mostly to her and her team. This all shows how caring and adaptable the Mooi team are! The rehearsal dinner and picnic also went off without a hitch. Saskia's eye for design and attention to detail were really on display for those two events. Overall, we loved working with Saskia and the entire Mooi team, and could not recommend them highly enough for all of your wedding/event planning needs! read more

Saskia and her team were the best move for our wedding. We booked our wedding in a park, so needed to do all the vendor finding, clean up, etc. our self. Saskia to the rescue! She had a list of vendors ready to share with us and worked and communicated amazingly with the ones we found. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Saskia went above and beyond. She set up a grading board for us, arranged flowers for us in vases that we rented directly from her and even went out during the reception to get me emergency allergy medications. She is amazing and her team was fantastic read more

We love Carolyn of Mooi Weddings! She was such a rockstar and made sure our wedding went off without a hitch. We had a weekend camping wedding, and she + her team were totally down to camp and take care of everything from filling 100+ little white bags with battery-operated candles (and turning them off at the end of the night) to coordinating with tons of vendors to setting up cute getting-ready stations. She is cool, calm, and collected, which is exactly what you need in a wedding coordinator. We are so thankful we hired Carolyn! read more

We reached out to Mooi after a friend recommended them to us. We were looking for the month of coordination help rather than full wedding planning, and Mooi offered services for exactly what we needed. We worked with Linda for our 10/2023 wedding and she was excellent! She was exceptionally organized and gave us great feedback and very detailed timeline and checklists for vendors and family. Our wedding was at one of the East Bay regional parks, which came with some challenges and limitations that come with getting married in a public space. Linda + Saskia were super helpful in working through those challenges and making sure the day of our wedding went as smoothly as possible and stayed on schedule. They were also extremely helpful in finding great vendors and extra help for us. I was especially grateful when we had one vendor drop off on us last minute and Saskia was able to find a replacement just a few days before the wedding. Would highly recommend using both Mooi and Linda, they were such a delight to work with!! read more

To start with, we liked Carolyn so much that I made a yelp account just so I could leave her a review... Hiring Carolyn to be our month-of coordinator was by far the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Within days after hiring her, she had already paid for herself through recommending high quality, affordable vendors that saved us more money than her fee. And this was NOT because we hadn't been looking- my wife does research for a living and we thought we had found all the vendors that were out there! Carolyn made sure we were on track, and was an invaluable advocate for us while we were communicating with and signing contracts with vendors. She was the reality check we needed when our lofty DIY decor ambitions got out of hand, but also gave us tips and tricks to make sure we completed the personal projects that were most important to us. Every time we finished a phone conversation with her, we felt like we had a clear direction and were on the right track. She made a very stressful planning process way more relaxing- especially in the hectic days leading up to the wedding. Her presence is both energizing and calming. During the actual wedding, Carolyn was everything we could have asked for in a wedding coordinator and more. Within an extremely tight time frame, her and her team organized an entire cargo van worth of decor, drinks, supplies, potted plants, and god knows what else, and then set it all up with time to spare. Anything we threw at her last minute she accepted with a smile on her face and got it done. All of the little problems that popped up were gracefully taken care of with creativity and aplomb. Carolyn is incredibly resourceful, an excellent leader for her team, and really good at keeping things on track. Not only did we have an amazing experience with Carolyn as our wedding coordinator, but we had the pleasure and good fortune of attending another wedding that she coordinated because we recommended her to our good friends that were getting married two weeks after us. Not only was it awesome to get to hang out with her some more, but we had an equally amazing experience being a guest at a wedding she was coordinating. We have full confidence that Carolyn will help you realistically plan the wedding of your dreams, no matter how off the beaten path and funky you want it to get, and will make sure your wedding goes off without a hitch. We cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

I was Saskia's first bride, I think, and I literally could not have done it without her. Throughout the process I kept on thinking... she is taking my ideas about my wedding and bringing them to life even better than I could imagine. Everything that she did, suggested, helped with, designed, created, planned and orchestrated was spot on. Each and every idea she took and ran with it. I liked that I was able to have so much input into every little detail about my wedding. We picked out everything from the ribbon color for the invitation decorations, to the centerpieces at the wedding. Saskia is one of the most creative people that I have ever met. For my wedding, she planned the whole thing, from the very first day I started the whole process. We created a mood board and went from there. She was with me every step of the way. Some of my favorite things that she did/made/designed/created: - My save the dates - My invitations (they were STUNNING!!!) - My table runners - My centerpieces - My wedding party's table settings - Table names - Food labels - Signs She pretty much made everything at my wedding, by hand. It was absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough great things about Saskia. She is worth every single penny. read more

Saskia (no relation, even though we share the same last name) and Carolyn were wonderful. We hired them as day of (really month of) coordinators, and they were so helpful with advice and recommendations leading up to the wedding, particularly as I started feeling overwhelmed, and were just really fun and friendly to talk with, meet with and visit the site with with. Saskia's event experience and Carolyn's foodservice experience were so helpful, and they quickly came up with creative solutions to challenges. On the day of the wedding, Carolyn and Emily managed everything (we knew from the beginning that Saskia would not be available), including coordinating all my wedding party helpers and the venue and vendor staff, gauging the vibe of the guests, calming me down and checking in with me sure I was taken care of (including dealing with all the little things). It was such a relief that after months of planning, on the day of the wedding I didn't have to think about ANY logistics. The only thing I would have done differently is hired them to actually plan the wedding too! read more

Hiring Mooi weddings is one of the best decisions I made for my entire wedding experience. From the moment we met Saskia, it was so clear that her organization skills were unmatched in the area. We live in Los Angeles and had our wedding in Northern California so we truly relied on her to make our wedding dreams come true. She did that and she made the whole process so much easier than it would have been otherwise. The timelines she created were insane. The photographer, the caterers, the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, and the families all had custom timelines that told them exactly when and where to be at all times. My bridesmaids even joked that she didn't specifically schedule bathroom breaks! But you can bet, everyone was exactly where they needed to be when they needed to be. The photographers caught all the best shots because they knew exactly what was happening and where they needed to be. Saskia was very upfront with us about all costs. Nothing came as a surprise. In our instance, we had a very large last-minute tent expense. We were so stressed out and nervous. Saskia was our savior. She secured a permit, waited in line at the county office for us, and gave us very clear expectations of what the prices would be. It was obviously a frustrating situation but without Saskia's organization and dedication to our big day it could have truly ruined things. (Pro tip - if you think there's even a 10% chance you might need a tent, just book it, and book it early. Also pro tip - Saskia is the best resource you could possibly have to help with last minute emergencies or stresses.) Saskia took stress off of me dealing with family drama and answered my stressed out calls and texts every time. The day of the wedding. Maybe something went wrong? I have no idea if it did. I never had to worry about a thing knowing that I had her taking care of everything. From my perspective, it was perfect. She yelled at my wedding party when they were taking too long to line up. For your wedding, you gotta get people in line. Don't hire a wedding coordinator to be nice, hire one that gets sh*t done. Saskia gets sh*t done. Our wedding was perfect, unforgettable, and, in my eyes, flawless. It wouldn't have been without Saskia. Truly, honestly, I cannot recommend her enough. Book her. You're welcome in advance. She'll make your big day the best day of your life. read more

Saskia is the BEST! We hired her for her month of coordination services for our wedding at Stern Grove and she went above and beyond our expectations. She is extremely detail oriented and had every little detail coordinated between all the staff and vendors from set-up to break down. We truly got to enjoy the day of our wedding and were never bothered with any issues - EVERYTHING was perfect! Saskia even made sure my husband and I ate by bringing us plates of appetizers during cocktail hour and tacos during dinner! She was incredible!!!! Saskia was very responsive throughout the entire planning process and provided frequent updates and check-ins to make sure everything was on schedule and was always there to answer any questions. Prior to our wedding, I was very stressed about the whole planning process, and hiring Mooi Weddings was the best decision I made. During the last few weeks prior to the wedding, Saskia made extremely detailed schedules for everyone involved so everyone knew where they needed to be and nothing was missed between any of the staff or vendors. Again, on our wedding day, everything went perfectly - Saskia and her team seamlessly took care of everything and all of our guests raved about it the next day! We highly recommend hiring Mooi Weddings!!!!!! In the words of my husband: "You'd be a fool to look any further." =) read more

I had a hard time getting a wedding planner--I got turned down by a few (I did not plan 18 months in advance) and I'm so glad I found Mooi. Carolyn at Mooi was perfect and I could not have pulled off my Oakland backyard wedding without her. There were days where I could not focus and just wanted to hide under the bed with a bottle of wine and she'd zip around my house measuring everything and counting chairs and ordering everything we needed. She was very respectful of our budget and was "the bad cop" with the vendors. The day of the wedding went off perfectly and if there were any problems, I didn't hear a whisper! We have heard many, many times from our friends and relatives that this was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. This was the very best money I spent and I cannot recommend Mooi strongly enough.I read more

Saskia was the planner for our wedding and it was so wonderful to have her on board! She has a great design aesthetic and I appreciate that she had the skills to put my vision together for our big day. It was nice to just let go the last month and trust that everything was getting coordinated and done. She's a good communicator and is very organized, and it allowed me to just relax and enjoy the weeks leading up to the event as well as the big day. That's the best part! My husband and I always talk about how nice to was to just enjoy our day -- not once did we have to worry or address any issues, we just got to enjoy our friends and family. If I was going to get married again (I hope I don't! haha), I would work with her again! read more

Saskia was our day-of coordinator for our Mira Vista County Club wedding. While the club included the ceremony and reception furnishings (tables, chairs, flatware, etc.) and catering, I realized a month before that so much coordination happens on the day of that we weren't going to have time to do it, nor wanted to concern our friends and family with it. Saskia had a wonderful personality and my husband and I felt comfortable with her from our very first phone call. Even though she was hired as a day-of-coordinator, she began working with us 2-3 weeks prior to the wedding. We discussed with her our vision for the wedding so she was able to direct the club staff and vendors, as well as incorporate the decor we purchased for the reception. We provided her with all of our vendor contact info, and she provided them with day of schedules. Saskia and her assistant did a wonderful job with everything, but where I found her to be most invaluable was with the ceremony coordination. My sister was ordained for our wedding, but we needed assistance in with our ceremony schedule. Saskia led our rehearsal, offered great suggestions, and cued the bridal party on the day of. She timed everything perfectly. The day couldn't have turned out any better. And, if there were any issues that day, my husband and I were blissfully unaware. Thanks so much Saskia! read more

I can honestly and without reservation recommend Mooi Weddings. They are marvelous designers, know all the ins and outs, and will make sure not a thing is missed, from engagement photo sessions to chef tastings to cake to rentals to staffing to decor and event coordination and right down to how much you should tip your vendors. I had my dream wedding on New Year's Eve, in every respect. Mooi made it all happen. They took a huge weight off my shoulders. I couldn't have asked for a better team. I would say I'm as perfectionistic and detail oriented as they come. I know how to put together and run teams to make things that work and are beautiful. Mooi's planners have the same skill in putting together the team that will make any event fantastic. If I might provide a little advice. As a couple, agreeing on and knowing your vision is key. The overall idea should remain in the forefront, and using that as a guide in all decisions will help you get through what will appear to be a rather scary and complicated process, in the beginning at least. Know your budget, be flexible, open to new ideas and decisive, and you will be delighted with the outcome. Mooi will help you navigate the entire process, and will help you have fun while doing so. In the end, your event will be absolutely amazing. read more

I highly, highly recommend Saskia and her team. While we hired Saskia for day-of-coordination, she was so much more, and went above and beyond our expectations. She provided us with support from the beginning of our wedding planning, and shared great planning tools to keep us organized, and recommendations for other great vendors. In the month before, she coordinated all of the details between all of the vendors - we didn't have to think about any logistical detail for the final few weeks before the wedding. She got us organized quickly at the rehearsal, and the day-of, everything was completely smooth. Everything was beautiful - the setup, the flow of the day - she kept us on track and kept helping with little details - she even took the pins out of her hair to fix mine! It was so nice to confidently trust that, working with Saskia, we were in great hands and just didn't have to worry about a thing. She is also warm and fun and just such a pleasure to work with. read more

We hired to Mooi for month of coordination for our incredibly complicated wedding in Stinson Beach. In the month leading up to our wedding, Carolyn provided guidance and support. I'd call her whenever I was panicking about something not getting done and she would calm me down and help me resolve the issue. Her guidance was essential during the rehearsal and she made the day of the wedding run smoothly and efficiently. Her assistant helped a disabled guest around our venue with ease and grace. Although we were on a budget, the service that Carolyn provided was worthwhile and really made everything come together seamlessly. read more

My now husband and I met Saskia and her husband Ben (our photographer) at a local bride show. We immediately fell in love with the amazing duo! We hired Saskia for our day of wedding coordinator. She is very resourceful when it came to anything involving wedding planning and was always available to reach in case I had any questions. We met a month before our September wedding to go over details for our big day. She created a time line within a week of where my bridesmaids and groomsmen will be and gathered all of their contact information. She assigned special duties for each of them as well. She also worked out a time line for the vendors. My wedding day went so smooth and couldn't have asked any more! She and her assistant Tyler took over in a very assertive and professional way. They made sure that our table arrangements and placements of decor were exactly where they needed to be. They assured that my husband and I fully enjoyed our day and were not bothered with any issues at hand. Saskia made sure the caterer fed us first too, worked out great considering we had a busy morning. She was the first to arrive the venue and definitely the last to leave... my husband and i wanted to stay behind as long as we can but she managed to get us out, say our goodbyes and leave for the night. Everything turned out wonderful! I would highly recommend any bride to be to hire Saskia and her awesome team. She is very assertive, professional, has superior coordination, and a high level of experience. We are forever grateful for everything that Saskia did for us. We came to a conclusion that day of wedding coordinators are incredibly important. Saskia is amazing! Brides to be... book her while you can! read more

Carloyn was our day of (really month of) coordinator and she was an absolute rock star! We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Trocadero Clubhouse, so I needed a lot of help in terms of vendor recommendations and coordination. Having the MOOI resources to keep everything organized was essential to the success of our day. I interacted with Carolyn mostly through email and she was always very quick to respond and always had an answer to my questions, whether it was a vendor recommendation or help working out our signature cocktail details. I really don't know how I would have done it without Carolyn. On top of her absolutely amazing coordination, Carolyn also went above and beyond by helping flesh out our reception decor with some really awesome vintage items from her own collection and it really made our DIY, food-centric reception look amazing. In addition to coordinating the day of, which she did flawlessly, I also had Carolyn arrange our service staff (bartenders, servers, etc.) and rentals. I loved that MOOI lets you hire them for as much or as little as you need them to. I had a really hard time finding service staff on my own, and the staff that Carolyn arranged were friendly and professional. Please do yourself a favor and hire MOOI to help you enjoy all the hard work you did for your big day; it will be so worth it! read more

We worked with Saskia Winter as our day-of coordinator for our beautiful San Francisco wedding reception in July 2014. This review is long overdue! We had just moved to the Bay Area from NYC in late May, so we wanted a local day-of coordinator who could take charge on our wedding day and ease the stress of wedding planning amidst our recent move to the city. Saskia has an amazing, warm personality that meshed well with my husband and me. She is obviously very experienced, engaging and engaged, enthusiastic, uber organized, detailed oriented, responsive, a hard worker, committed and a great communicator and listener. Plus, she gets the job done...and then some! While I enjoyed leading the wedding planning process, I knew that I could trust Saskia and hand off the wedding logistics to her in the week leading up to the Big Day. She was never pushy or overbearing but provided constant support, encouragement and wise advice during the stressful periods. We had the best day of our lives on our wedding day!!! My husband and I were totally hands off, and we could enjoy and live every moment as the bride and groom. We could not have experienced this level of joy without Saskia's generous, much needed help. Thank you, Saskia Winter!!! You are the BEST! read more

I am five days out from my daughter's wedding and though still a little tired, I am basking in what was truly a dream come true event! Saskia was our coordinator and I get emotional thinking about how literally every guest I spoke to raved about the attention to detail that was evident. Though I am an organized, detail-oriented person I had NO IDEA what a Herculean effort it would be to execute a 285-person dream wedding without her and her team's help. It is invaluable to have someone who understands what is necessary and has worked in the wedding industry to help you navigate the many elements necessary to stay sane and within your budget! We had 14 months to plan a wedding 2 1/2 hours away and at every turn she was there...asking questions I wouldn't know to ask, offering other cost-effective alternatives if I was nervous about a quote, walking the property with us so she could visualize the day and be the intermediary so we could relax and enjoy the day with virtually no worries. We chose to use Saskia's "full-design" option and it is worth EVERY penny! She created an amazing vision board presentation that took every element the bride and groom were hoping to experience. She connected us with other professional, affordable and reliable vendors and was such a calming, yet bad-ass advocate when we needed her as the to-do list started ramping up in the days before. She even brought to life my daughter's dream for a tequila specialty bar that was so creative and fun! I have told everyone about her and am sure she will get even more business from the guests who attended and were blown away by such a perfectly executed event! She is a first class, wedding-executing super hero!! read more

Mooi weddings did an incredible job with our wedding, we couldn't be happier! My husband and I debated for a while whether or not to get a Day of Coordinator due to cost, but we are very glad we did! In our initial meeting with Saskia and Carolyn we felt very comfortable and they were very thorough asking questions to get the right information and a sense of what we were looking for on our big day. Carolyn was our coordinator, and she was amazing! Leading up to the wedding she was very organized and on top of everything. She was very quick to respond to emails with our questions/ideas. She was in touch with all of our vendors making sure things were on track, and she thought of many things we hadn't even considered. Carolyn also went above and beyond to figure things out when we were "stuck" on things leading up like vendor parking. I was really glad to have her there for the venue walkthrough a month ahead, and helping us plan out details like making sure we had a list of all the stuff to bring (decor, etc) and where is was supposed to go. Help with the timeline was great too! The rehearsal went smoothly and she did a great job of helping organize and getting everyone in position. Our wedding was a dream, and Carolyn was a rockstar! Everything went so smoothly, and I know I would have been way more stressed out if she wasn't there and so well prepared! I'm sure there was a lot going on behind the scenes that I didn't see or know about, which is just how I wanted it! She did an amazing job setting up (centerpieces), communicating with all the vendors, and making sure cleanup went well. Carolyn is responsible, friendly, patient, organized, and super helpful! Her assistant was great as well. We honestly felt that the coordination was great and well worth it, and recommend Mooi Weddings 100%! read more

We had the most amazing experience with Carolyn at MOOI! Trying to save on costs, we hadn't at first planned on hiring a month-of-coordinator. I can't express how glad I am that we decided to work with Carolyn and Nikki. From the first phone conversation to organizing and packing out everything at the end of our weekend wedding, Carolyn was efficient, calm, kind, and quick to understand our vision and needs. She walked into setting up the venue with next to no instruction and made the reception hall more beautiful than I could have imagined. Throughout it all, she kept us chill, well-fed, and - most important- made sure that we were really present at our celebration and not worrying about any of the logistics. I'm sure she put out tons of fires that we had no idea were going on. Thank you, Carolyn! We are so grateful for your help. read more

Saskia from MOOI was our month-of-coordinator for our June 2018 wedding and we are so happy we found her! Not only was she responsive and very helpful in answering my many questions in the months leading up to the wedding, but she and her assistant did an amazing job coordinating all the vendors in the weeks leading up to and on the actual wedding day. They made sure my husband and I didn't have to deal with any logistics at the wedding and we were able to relax and really enjoy the magic of the day. They did a great job and we highly recommend them! read more

We hired Saskia as our month-of wedding coordinator based on a friend's recommendation. Our friend was right. At the time I wasn't sure how much use we would get out of a wedding coordinator, but having Saskia was just a huge weight off of our shoulders in the days leading up to the wedding, and the big day itself. She's absolutely wonderful, and so good at what she does. Saskia gave us excellent recommendations for planning out the day. She made sure that all of our vendors were on the same page, and on the day of the wedding itself she took care of a bunch of the logistics so that we could focus on enjoying ourselves. She really has an eye for cute details! Saskia even wrote out our drink menus, and a couple other adorable chalkboard signs in perfect cursive with great design detail. She set up the tables in a gorgeous way, and we made some wedding favors and she placed them in an attractive way in our place settings. She also surprised us with a s'more-making station for our guests! It was a really sweet gesture (pun intended....) Sas is a fantastic help and a great value. She really took a potentially very stressful event and made it magical. read more

From the beginning Saskia helped me to create a vision for our wedding day that suited our style as well as our budget. The planning and organization she did before the wedding day really made sure things went off without a hitch. She did an incredible job on our wedding day. I was blown away by all of the details that she made happen and how smoothly things went. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the most fun and care-free day. It was the best day ever!! read more

Saskia was just amazing at planning our wedding, I can highly recommend her services. She was great in the lead up with creative ideas and keeping us organized, so many little touches I would never have though of. We didn't realize how valuable her services would be on the actual day, she thought of everything, even before it happened and the whole day ran so smoothly thanks to her and her assistant. We were able to just enjoy our wedding with someone else taking care of the day so well. read more
