212º Event Planning

ne for our entire wedding weekend, all centered around our preferences and vision. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she never misses a beat! She assisted with phone calls and meetings with all our vendors, and she kept everyone seamlessly connected and updated behind the scenes. She respectfully advocated for me and my preferences when I was hesitant to speak up. She was always sending updates, timeline revisions, or "To Do Lists" & reminders to help my husband and I stay on track with wedding planing! She went above and beyond our expectations including helping my mother-in-law with coordinating our cookie table — from gathering cookies from family members to setting up the entire dessert display. Throughout the entire process, Mandy was reliable, punctual, professional, respectful, and kind. Our wedding day was genuinely one of the best days of our lives, and Mandy is a huge reason why. She brought our vision to life and we could not have done it without her!! When things came up, Mandy adapted and handled everything so my husband and I could enjoy our big day stress-free! She made sure my husband and I always had everything we needed before we even realized we needed it - including refills of our signature cocktail throughout the night! I cannot recommend Mandy and 212 Planning enough. She is exceptional at what she does, and we are endlessly grateful for the role she played in making our day so perfect.

ofessionalism. Thanks to her, our daughter’s wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We can’t thank her enough for all the love and effort she put into making it perfect!

g we needed. Her professionalism and warmth made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free. Our wedding was 1920s themed, and Mandy went above and beyond to bring that vision to life. She found bellhops and cigarette girls to greet our guests, and even coordinated with our catering team to have servers dressed in feathers and vintage accessories. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect the glamour and charm of the era. One of the things we appreciated most was how Mandy always had our back when it came to vendors. She made sure we got exactly what we wanted and wasn’t afraid to push back when something didn’t align with our vision. It truly felt like she was our advocate every step of the way. Mandy is meticulous, organized, and genuinely listens to what you want. She offered creative ideas and helpful feedback while always keeping our vision front and center. Thanks to her, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day knowing everything was in expert hands. It was perfect and we can not thank her enough!

nded some amazing vendors and she made it so easy to coordinate and plan with them. Throughout the months of planning we kept thinking how good of a choice we made hiring her. She made sure all the little details we wouldn’t have even thought of were considered. She was in charge the day of and truly allowed us to enjoy our wedding and be completely present in the moment while she made sure everything came together. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and have already recommended her to family and friends.

ailed oriented and you can tell she loves planning. 

that instantly puts everyone at ease. As a photographer, I deeply appreciate when a planner not only keeps things running smoothly but also makes the process fun — and Mandy does exactly that. Her attention to detail showed in every part of the day: the ceremony setup, the reception styling, and all the little transitions in between. She effortlessly balanced keeping the timeline on track with allowing moments to happen naturally, never once feeling rushed or forced. When a few behind-the-scenes hiccups cropped up (as they inevitably do on wedding days), Mandy handled them with quiet efficiency, making sure the couple never even caught wind of them. That’s the mark of a true pro — anticipating challenges and solving them before they can become problems. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will have your back, keep your day on schedule, and handle every curveball with grace, I cannot recommend Mandy and 212º Event Planning enough!

ere beyond grateful to have had Mandy Hamlin as our wedding planner — and even more grateful to call her a friend! Mandy is truly exceptional at what she does. From the moment planning began months in advance, she was on top of every detail, always checking in to make sure my daughter (the bride) and I had everything we needed. She is incredibly efficient, calm under pressure, imaginative, and has a serious eye for beauty and design. Her work ethic is unmatched. She picked up the flowers herself, helped create stunning bouquets and floral arrangements, and brought a collection of candles, glass holders, and bud vases that made the tables look absolutely magical. When little things went wrong, and they will, like a missing button on a groomsman’s jacket or boutonniere pins nowhere to be found — Mandy didn’t miss a beat. Sewing kit? She had it. Extra pins? Of course. She literally thinks of everything, so all we had to do was enjoy the day. Thanks to Mandy, our wedding was not just organized — it was joyful, elegant, and truly unforgettable. It would not have happened without her. If you're considering hiring Mandy, do it. She’s a dream to work with and will make your event better than you can ever imagine! Beth Muffler

to sun down managing countless things at one time, all while helping keep everyone calm and collected. I am so happy I had Mandy there to advocate for our vision and execute our game plan flawlessly. I truly can’t thank her enough. A true talent and professional.

came up with, and kept me on track to ensure everything was ready when the wedding day came. She was always easy to reach and followed up on everything in a timely manner. On our wedding day, I don’t think I would have survived without her! Mandy put in a great deal of time and effort with set up, decor, break down, managing vendors, and just making sure that we were okay from beginning to end. She is an amazing planner and also just a great person. We loved working with Mandy and would highly recommend her services to anyone :)

went above and beyond—incredibly thorough, genuinely kind, and somehow managed to be both our confidant and comic relief through all the stress. When things went wrong (and trust me, they went really wrong), Mandy showed up with transparency, practical solutions, and always a smile. Her calm, capable presence turned chaos into peace. She communicated seamlessly with our vendors, offered fantastic suggestions, and—most importantly—really listened to what we wanted. I never once worried about anything slipping through the cracks because I knew Mandy had it covered. I trusted her completely—and she delivered, every single time. Mandy is hands down the best. If you are getting married, stop looking. Hire Mandy. You’ll be so thankful you did, I know I am.

and stress-free for me as a bride. Her incredible attention to detail ensured that nothing—absolutely nothing—was missed, and her ability to handle everything (and then some) allowed me to enjoy the planning process without feeling overwhelmed. One of the most amazing aspects of working with Mandy was her quick and thorough communication. Any time I had a question or concern, she responded almost immediately with a solution or reassurance. When we encountered an issue with our photography company, I shared my concerns with Mandy, and without me even asking, she handled the situation flawlessly. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes with all of our vendors, which meant I could focus on enjoying the experience rather than managing logistics. Our wedding party and parents, who worked closely with Mandy throughout the planning and on the big day, couldn’t stop singing her praises. They all loved her! Her calming and loving personality made everyone feel comfortable and confident, and she truly brought our dream wedding to life. From the tiniest details to the largest tasks, Mandy ensured everything was perfect, creating the magical night we had always envisioned. Mandy is a rare gem in the world of wedding coordination. Her professionalism, dedication, and ability to make things happen for her clients are unmatched. I am forever grateful for the time and care she put into making our wedding an unforgettable celebration. For anyone planning a wedding, Mandy is a must-have on your team. She is a 10/10, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your special day extraordinary.

nd project management, were the main reasons we enjoyed our big day stress free. She went above and beyond countless times and many of our vendors mentioned that she was one of the best wedding planners they've ever worked with! Outside of generally knowing anything and everything about wedding planning, Mandy was always available and was there with us every single step of the way for our almost 2 year engagement. By the end of our journey, we felt like she was family. If you're on the fence (like my husband was admittedly at 1st) on a wedding planner the answer is YES and the vendor is 212 event planning! We would give Mandy 10 stars if we could and wanted to thank her (and team again) for being a key part of the most special day of our lives!

kindness with the entire process. I literally could not have done this without her. I didn't think anyone would be able to execute my picture perfect wedding...she showed me that she can and she did. Save yourself the trouble and just hire her. You will not be disappointed. Mandy, you are phenomenal at what you do and your kindness shows with every move you make. You were made for this <3 We will always be grateful for you and everything you did for us to make our dream wedding day happen. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

can't thank her enough for the guidance and help she provided along way during the last year in planning our wedding. Truly, I would hire her over and over again if I could. Thankfully, Mandy has become a friend and for that alone, it was all worth it. Hire Mandy, you won't regret it!!

h whatever was needed. Planning a bigger wedding, i needed someone to be able to handle the details and coordination with vendors and Mandy did just that and more. Highly recommend!

under a tight timeline and we're both very busy people with professional jobs and 6 kids between us, so not a lot of time to wedding plan. But from the first meeting to the wonderful card she sent us after the wedding, Mandy made sure we had an incredible and unforgettable evening. She adapted to our style to the point that I felt bad not responding quickly enough, but she truly understood and followed-up in a professional manner to keep the planning flowing. Every vendor she recommended was amazing. She truly handled everything and proactively offered solutions and alternatives when we needed them. The wedding night was absolutely magical. The work she put in to decorate the room was outstanding, she really outdid herself. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. Mandy recommends excellent vendors, she works hard to stay within or under budget, and she's just an amazing person with whom to work. We unequivocally recommend Mandy and 212 Event Planning. It was the best money spent on the entire wedding!

e me some suggestions for coordinators and Mandy was one of them. I reached out to Mandy and after an initial email she and I decided to jump on a call to go over what we needed for our backyard wedding. I wanted to be sure that on the day of my dad had the help he needed and that I also didn’t have to worry about anything extra. I also wasn’t exactly sure how much help I was going to need. After that call, I knew she was the one to help me get the job done. Mandy was excellent. She kept us on a timeline throughout the whole process, she was quick to edit any documents we shared after our calls and she was always available to answer our questions and get back to us in a timely manner. Not only was our wedding beyond what I could have expected, but so was Mandy’s personal attention, service and kindness. Our guests also said how lovely she was- attentive, on top of things, and more importantly was someone there doing a job but with ease. She helped our day go off without a hiccup and in Ohio on a June Sunday a lot of hiccups could happen. I couldn’t recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed.

p meetings with me, communicating with me, helping me keep on track with what is to be done next, as well as ease of communication between vendors. Without Mandy, I don't even want to think of what my wedding day would have been like. She made spread sheets with check lists and dates that things should be done, easy to read lists of vendors, of my investments towards each vendor and when next payments were due. My husband and I cannot thank Mandy enough for all the help she did leading up to our wedding, but even moreso on the day of. Our venue came with a coordinator, but left before our ceremony began, and Mandy handled everything with a cool head and I barely was aware of the chaos that was happening as I was getting ready to marry the love of my life. She was also essential in planning our daily schedule and staying on track. If you're getting married in NorthEast Ohio and need a planner and/or a day of coordinator, I HIGHLY recommend hiring Mandy for both! Having someone who knew my vision and wishes for my wedding day and then to execute it so flawlessly, was amazing. Thank you Mandy for all your hard work and dedication to making our wedding day so special, and being SO amazing.

s and put out all the little fires along the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough. And looking back I cannot imagine how we would’ve gotten through that busy weekend without her. When my younger children get engaged, Mandy will be my first call!

heir day stress-free!

just enjoy the experience. Her experience and professionalism made our wedding perfect!

mom knew I would be asking her to make all the calls to the vendors). I didn't even know all of what went into wedding planning, but let me tell you...it was more than I could have ever thought of!! Mandy was so thorough with everything and very easy to communicate with!! She made me feel like I was the only wedding she was planning (which is absolutely not the case, but I felt like I always had her undivided attention). I had multiple vendors at the wedding come up to me and say she was the easiest coordinator that they had worked with! My venue looked even better than I could have imagined, and I didn't have the stress that I know a lot of brides have on their wedding day!! I will continue to recommend Mandy to absolutely everyone...not just for weddings, but for all party planning! She is the sole reason I didn't have a mental breakdown about the wedding:)

ssionally and efficiently, and we owe her for the success of the event. It was amazing. Mandy did it all, she built this thing from the ground up. Every vendor needed to be selected, we even had to bring furniture into the event space. Whenever a vendor fell down, she was on it. Insulating us from issues and making sure the event was great. Mandy is creative but not pushy at all, so all her ideas helped us execute our vision and not the other way around. I have a ton of respect for her patience, attention to detail, effective communication skills, and years of relevant wedding planning experience. It all showed in the year long planning process. 5/5 for knowing every venue and vendor in town. We explained what we wanted, and she sprang into action. We went about 15% over budget, which for weddings is an absolute miracle. Mandy provided a cost readout whenever we needed it in the form of this donut chart that she handed me every time we met. Honestly, this part reduced my anxiety over the event more than anything. Thank you specifically for that Mandy! Hiring Mandy was worth every penny. If you can get her for your NE Ohio wedding or large event, you are lucky. Highly recommend, six out of five stars!

rganized, calm and so knowledgeable about the industry. From the moment I met her I knew I was in good hands. She was so responsive to all of my questions (and I had a lot), thought about things I never would have. If you are questioning whether a coordinator/planner is worth the expense; I can tell you that Mandy is 1000000% worth it. The day before our wedding, we had a mishap and lost half of our centerpieces. You can imagine how stressful this was; but Mandy was incredible. When I called her to tell her what had happened she jumped into action, told me to enjoy the rehearsal and she handled it, and assured me that everything will be okay, and it was! Mandy was an incredible communicator with all of my vendors, and took the stress off of me by handling all communication in the weeks leading up to the big day. All of my other vendors commented on how helpful she was. Mandy checked on myself and my husband the entire night and made sure we were doing okay and had everything that we needed. I cannot thank her enough and will be forever grateful for the role she played in our big day.

e bride. For my own wedding, Mandy was extremely organized and fun to work with. Looking back on it, I had relatively no stress when it came to anything she was a part of. If there were any hiccups on the wedding day she hid it well and made sure everything ran perfectly smooth! When we were bridesmaids together I got to see her in action. That wedding was at a venue that did not have much on site - which meant dealing with many outside vendors. Although there were quite a few hiccups during set up (mainly issues with deliveries and product) Mandy had a quick solution for each issue that came up and the bride had no idea. This is the main goal because things will always go wrong with so many moving parts, but as the bride you don’t have time to deal with them, and you shouldn’t have to! You are hiring her for the peace of mind to be your planner and fixer, and she will not disappoint. On top of that she is super sweet and a joy to be around. Hire her, you won’t regret it!
