I originally tried to plan my husband and my wedding by myself with some help from a wedding-planning book. A few months before the wedding, I was stressed and desperate for help. I had the wedding date, the officiant, and the church, but I didn't have a reception venue, make-up artist, hair-stylist, caterer, etc. I reached out to Sydney (MyEventBudee) through the WeddingWire website along with a few other planners. My mom prayed and I prayed for help. Sydney responded promptly, and wanted to work with me. She is truly a Godsend! She gave me a reasonable price, and her services are invaluable. Sydney put me at ease right away, and I was relieved when I hired her. I let her know my budget, and she estimated the cost for each vendor that I wanted, and kept me on-track throughout the planning process. I told her some vendors in which I was interested, and she did the price research and contacted the vendors for me. When we agreed on certain vendors, she had them send me the contracts to sign, and helped guide me and my mom where to pay. She put my flowers together with a small budget, eliminating the need for a florist. Sydney kept me included in vendor emails and was willing to be the main communicator. She was also flexible with virtual meeting times (so I could meet with her after normal work hours). One example of Sydney in action, was during the ceremony when I was waiting to process down the aisle. The ring-bearer (an adorable boy of about three-years of age) accidentally untied the rings from the pillow, and they fell on the floor. Sydney stayed calm, cool, and collected, as she held the narthex doors open with her foot, leaned down over her beautifully pregnant belly, and quickly tied the rings on the pillow again before sending the ring bearer and flower girl off down the aisle. Awesome! For anyone debating about hiring a wedding planner, I totally recommend spending the money and going with MyEventBudee. Her services took a lot of stress off of me, and comforted me throughout planning and the wedding day. Sydney is a sweetheart and she does an excellent job! read more

Hiring My Event Buddee was the best decision I made in regards to my wedding. (Second only to my husband choice) Sydney was absolutely incredible. We are currently located in Chicago, but were planning a Minneapolis wedding so we really needed help with the planning. Sydney did EVERYTHING! She designed our invitations, save the dates, place cards, found venues, found vendors, decorated everything, ran our rehearsal, budgeted, dealt with day-of crises, helped clean up, and was professional, fun, and kind. I cannot stress how much I owe to Sydney. Every single one of my bridesmaids and even some groomsmen commented on how amazing she was. I have bridesmaids who said they wish they had her for their weddings and ones that said they are hiring her when they do get married. Sydney answered my every question in a timely manner, was willing to chat whenever I needed, and was literally the only reason this wedding happened at all. She has an impeccable design eye and is able to deal with stress while maintaining a sunny disposition. If you want your wedding to go off without a hitch and actually enjoy the planning process, hiring My Event Buddee is a NEED. read more

Sydney coordinated my bridal shower, wedding welcome party and wedding, and designed all of our printed materials for each of these events including signage, invites, programs, and more. Sydney completely understood my vision for each of these events and executed them 1000x better than I could have imagined. Her attention to detail is amazing and she thinks about every detail that I never would have thought of. As the bride you don't want to have to worry about logistical details on your wedding day like where vendors are, what needs to be set up, timeline details, etc. Sydney relieved so much stress by handling all of these details behind the scene so I could show up to all of these events and just enjoy myself. She is easy to reach, responsive, and had answers for all of our questions throughout this whole process. We truly can't thank Sydney enough for everything she did to make our wedding perfect, she is absolutely someone you want on your team for your wedding or any life event!!! read more

From the moment we met Sydney & Bridget from My Event Buddee, we knew we were in good hands. Both Sydney & Bridget's communication style's were fast, friendly, efficient and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Bridget made sure to introduce herself to my husband and I, as well as the entire wedding party, to ensure everyone felt comfortable and knew who she was on the big day. This attention to detail and personalized touch carried through to the wedding day, where Bridget worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. They even had a special plate of appetizers and our signature cocktails waiting for us in the bridal suite during our private vow reading, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. The quality of their work and value they provided was unmatched! We are so grateful to Bridget and Sydney for making our wedding day the perfect celebration we had dreamed of. read more

Besides deciding to get married, hiring Sydney to be our day of coordinator was the best decision we made during wedding planning. She is beyond professional while still being easy to work with. Sydney has the ability to support the wedding planning process while still making the bride feel like she is being heard and understood. Wedding planning is a challenging time and having someone in your corner who has been a part of lots of weddings as well as planning her own makes a huge difference. I cannot recommend My Event Buddee enough!!! read more
