Mimi and the whole Brides BFF team was simply outstanding!! Mimi helped our day run smooth, trouble-shot unexpected issues, and was a consistent source of calm and professionalism....
We were so lucky to have her, and literally could not have imagined our day running anywhere near as smooth without her. She is very fairly priced, and totally worth every penny. If you are on the fence about having a coordinator like we were, then Mimi is the perfect choice for you!
This review is for the interview process. A friend recommended A Bride's BFF after having a great experience with them at her wedding, and I was very impressed with our initial con...
versations. I was very impressed with Mimi's promptness, clarity, and thoroughness in our initial conversations, and her rates were very reasonable. While I chose to go with a vendor who knew my venue more intimately, I have no doubt that any bride would be in great hands with A Bride's BFF!
For six months, my fiancé and I worked really hard on putting together the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding had many details and surprises, two venues, and lots of vendors invol...
ved. Even though we were very organized and hands on during the process, we still needed help and guidance on the days leading up to the wedding and the day of. Hiring Mimi as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She helped us bring everything we had worked so hard on to life and kept the show going during the rehearsal and wedding day. On our wedding day, she had an assistant, Desiree, working with her, who was fantastic as well. From the moment, we met Mimi during our 30 day wedding walk through, we knew we made the right choice. Leading up to the wedding she helped us coordinate with all the vendors our timeline to make sure we were all on the same page and answered any last minute wedding questions and concerns we had. During the wedding day, she made sure we were on track, on time and stress free. We were able to enjoy our wedding day knowing that our day was in good hands. Mimi and her assistant, were super nice and patient, and very professional and detailed with everything. It was truly a pleasure working with Mimi, and we highly recommend her to all couples planning their wedding.
We’re so happy to have worked with A Bride’s BFF. Our Day-Of Coordinator was Kelly, and she was everything we needed for a successful wedding day, and more. Kelly was integral in m...
aking our day smooth, stress-free, and amazing. Starting with the wedding walk-through a month before the wedding, she asked all the right questions and politely--but firmly :)-- took over so that I was required to worry less and let go of control. On the wedding day she decorated our venue perfectly, herded our bridal party (particularly some rowdy groomsmen) with patience and ease, and made sure that my husband and I were well attended to. Through the end of the night, she worked closely with all our vendors--helping to clean up the space and keep the party going until the very last song. I am confident in recommending A Bride’s BFF and Kelly to any bride looking to make her wedding day smooth and stress-free.
Mimi was the day-of coordinator for our wedding in August and she couldn’t have done a better job making sure the entire wedding weekend ran smoothly!
One month prior to our weddi...
ng, we met with her at our venue walk-thru to discuss details and logistics. From that moment forward, I probably emailed her every other day with new details, visions, or requests - she was very responsive and organized. I immediately felt less stressed leading up to the big day. She created a detailed timeline as well as took over communication and confirmed timing logistics with our vendors. She offered advice and guidance when needed, which we appreciated!
During rehearsal, she walked everyone through what the ceremony and reception would be like and practiced in detail with us. It was reassuring to know we were well prepared and would be in good hands on the wedding day!
On the day of, we had a couple of vendor issues and Mimi and her assistant handled everything very professionally - we didn’t even know about nor need to get involved which I’m thankful for - we just enjoyed the evening and they handled all of it!
We had such a positive experience working with Mimi at a Bride’s BFF and would highly recommend her to any bride and groom looking for stress-free planning and an unforgettable wedding day!
We can't say enough good things about Mimi & A Bride's BFF. We got the partial planning package (which was extremely reasonably priced) at the point where we had only booked our ve...
nue and caterer. From that point forward Mimi helped us with recommending vendors, planning details, doing some research and correspondence for us, giving advice and answering even our most nuanced questions, and whatever else we needed. I should also stress that we were planning our wedding from across the country, and her punctuality with responding to emails and ability to make sure we were on track were wonderful and critical to pulling off our wedding. We also spoke on the phone once a month to go over everything and once a week or so in the last month.
The wedding itself went great, Mimi thought of every detail and coordinating everything with us and the vendors, which we thought was pretty amazing considering we had only met her in person twice before and we had not seen many of our vendors/decor ideas at all prior to the wedding. The highlight was how she went above and beyond with our chuppah - we had a very unwieldy "kit" of birch branches which we somehow had to pull off assembling in under an hour at the venue; she came to our house the week before to see it and get all of the details of how to construct it and coordinate a team of vendors and relatives to pull it off smoothly. it was a pretty big hassle and technically not even part of her job description!
We would recommend Mimi to anyone! We only wish we booked her earlier for the full planning package! Thanks Mimi for everything you did!
