Brianne McMullan Events

our wedding, all thanks to her. Brianne was supportive. She never tried to impose her vision, and was always available for discussing any questions, opinions, thoughts, or issues. She made sure the vendors really were operating according to our preferences. As someone who can be passive in these situations, I was so grateful Brianne did the behind the scenes work for us to ensure that everything really was about “our day” — not about what the vendors might prefer. At the same time, she maintained excellent relationships with all of our vendors and contact points. She was also a wealth of knowledge on contracts, vendor negotiations, and the industry landscape. All of our vendor recommendations came through her, and we could not have been more thrilled with the end team. Brianne was thorough. I felt confident there was no detail she hadn’t already thought through. She was so in tune, she made sure the napkin color matched the bridesmaids dresses. It didn’t occur to me until the wedding day how many details there were that she ensured worked together in a complete package. Everywhere I looked, each aspect coordinated beautifully. Brianne helped us navigate the parts of the wedding planning process we weren’t at all familiar with (names of flowers, contract provisions, etc) with compassion and grace. She never made us feel silly for not knowing about wedding industry details or wanting to save money. That all said, Brianne is a tiger. She negotiated fiercely on our behalf. She held her ground with vendors and secured better deals, both financially and logistically. She sought the best result for us at all times — even if it wasn’t the easiest. I’m so glad Brianne was on our team — would never want to be on the opposite side of the table! Brianne absolutely saved us more money than she charged us thanks to her supreme negotiating skills and spend/splurge guidance. Brianne’s entire wedding day-of team was so lovely. Each and every woman was kind, calm, and knew exactly what was going on. You could ask any of them a detailed question about any aspect of the day, and they’d come back with a correct and collected answer in minutes, if not immediately. They communicated seamlessly between themselves, bridal party none the wiser to any speed bumps, and delivered a flawless day. I am so incredibly grateful to have worked with Brianne and her team. They made our entire experience wonderful. Weddings are by nature a stressful event. There are all kinds of external pressures on the couple from before engagement through the honeymoon. Brianne took so much off our shoulders. She’s absolutely worth double her fee. We are so thrilled and grateful to have worked with such an amazing vendor.

From the start, we knew we could rely on her because whenever we had questions, she was just a call away. We weren’t local and Brianne coordinated vendor meetings flawlessly with our work and travel schedules making the planning process seamless. Her extensive experience in the industry was highlighted by her knowledge of the various Atlanta vendors. She listened to the details we wanted and recommended vendors that matched perfectly with our vision. On the day of our wedding, Brianne and her team coordinated delivery and set up with our vendors taking the stress of the day away. We were absolutely blown away by our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception that Brianne had designed. It was everything we had asked for and more! We mentioned to Brianne that we wanted to spend as much of the evening as possible with our guests and she made it happen. We were able to celebrate and dance with friends and family all night without a single worry. I can truly say that as I’m a type 1 diabetic and Mindy, a wonderful member of the team, monitored my blood sugar via my Dexcom app throughout the day! I can confidently say that because of Brianne and her team we had the best day of our lives. If we had to could do it all over again, we would choose Brianne in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Brianne McMullan Events!

here’s setting a budget. Brianne does not sugarcoat it and lowball items that make you cringe knowing that you will end up at a higher number. From the beginning she said the budget we set would be adhered to and it was. I had always heard to plan on going 20 percent over budget, but that’s not the way Brianne works. She works strictly within budget and emphasized that from the start. The day after the wedding my husband said the thing that shocked me most, “it was worth every penny.” We contracted with Brianne first, before doing any other planning or signing any contracts, and she guided us through the process, giving advice but also listening. With an artistic bride, a traditional mother-of-the-bride and a four-month timeline, Brianne had her hands full with us. But she knew how to make it happen while maintaining both my daughter’s vision and my need for order. Brianne has relationships with vendors -- venues, flowers, musicians, rentals, etc – that gets you more for your money and guaranteed performance. Examples included getting us into the dress salon that didn’t have an appointment and booking a band well above our budget within our budget, because the band had that weekend open. The importance of her relationships with vendors cannot be understated. Brianne not only knows the right people to fulfill your vision, they are professionals accustomed to working under deadline, keeping their cool, and making you feel like princess for the day. When all the decision-making, proofing printed materials, organizing family and finding dresses were done and the big day arrived, there was nothing to do but enjoy the day, Brianne and her team had it all under control.

nd more. From late night calls to answering my every email and text about the smallest detail, I can't begin to express my gratitude for both Brianne and Mindy this last year. Brianne gave great advice and helped point me in the right direction for how to verbalize what I saw in my head. The full service experience was beyond what I could have imagined and it made our wedding truly perfect. I have nothing but phenomenal things to say about working with Brianne and any bride would be lucky to have her on their team day of.

selections and vendor coordination (a huge help as I can work long hours with my job and had limited time to plan). She struck a great balance of providing wisdom based on years of experience while also letting me build the vision according to my own taste. Her assistance with the planning was awesome, but nothing was better than her team’s execution the week/weekend of the wedding. Other brides run around with errands on the wedding weekend but Brianne’s team handled everything! All that was left to do was enjoy our perfect day :) Absolutely would recommend Brianne’s team 10/10!

hroughout the planning process. We were a couple that had some ideas around the type of intimate wedding experience we wanted, but not a grand vision for our day. Brianne and Mindy were able to take this framework and turn our wedding day into something more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed. They were there every step of the way making sure each part of the process went smoothly, from helping to select the venue and making the BEST vendor recommendations to finding solutions to challenges such as transportation and ensuring day of ran smoothly. We got so many compliments about our wedding day and people are still talking about what a magical experience it was! That is all due to the vision and hard work of Brianne and her wonderful team.

e put together the perfect wedding for us. The floral, design, and their assistance day of was impeccable. I would highly recommend Brianne and her team for anyone looking to have a wedding day that encapsulates their personalities into a single celebration.

edding day vision and needs were taken care of. We really enjoyed working with Mindy in all of the months leading up to our big day. She was kind, super responsive to emails and truly cared about us. From helping us research vendors to a detailed timeline, Mindy and her team were with us every step of the way. We were not stressed at all on the day of the wedding and we owe that to Brianne McMullan Events. Thank you for everything and we would definitely recommend them for any wedding or event planning needs !

e about their clients and want your day to be a dream. Couldn’t recommend them more! My day was more perfect than I could have ever imagined and I didn’t stress about ONE thing on the day of— I knew I could trust them!

e guided us through what to do when COVID hit. We would have been a total wreck without her! She does a wonderful job at providing trusted and tasteful vendor options that meet a client's specific budget and preferences, which saves a ton of time. I think most brides are naturally nervous for how everything with go on the day of their wedding, but I can say that I was completely relaxed and felt as though I was in the best hands. I never once felt stressed on my wedding day, as Brianne and her team handled every single last detail seamlessly. Mindy, her right hand woman, is the perfect person to be by a bride's side on her wedding day. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and has the most calming personality!

d had to rely on Mindy and the team Brianne McMullan has carefully curated as their recommended vendors. Mindy helped me create an elegant and cohesive design for our wedding and reception. From invitations, flowers, cake, reception decor, and musicians to the curated china and linens. The decor and floral design by AW Beach made our guests and us feel very special. It was a glamorous yet intimate wonderland in the wine country. The week before the big day and the day of the wedding, we had multiple hurdles, and Mindy helped me flawlessly navigate these decisions, and she managed to keep me from crying when it came time to change from an outdoor to an indoor venue due to rain.

eting. Brianne began by helping us fine tune the wedding budget and number of guests. Her preferred vendor list is impressive. She arranged meetings for us with vendors that fit our budget and vision. We had great vendor options in every category. Brianne’s knowledge of wedding etiquette and the logistics of hosting a large event is vast. She was available to answer any question, walk through any decision, and navigate any change with patience and calm. Her patience and calm were critical in helping with a postponement when Covid shut down our country ten weeks before the wedding. Brianne walked my daughter and her fiancé through their options regarding hosting a wedding during a pandemic. They opted to postpone in hopes of having the wedding they had planned. I was truly amazed at how quickly she helped them settle on a new date and to secure that new date with the venues and vendors. Even during a pandemic, Brianne and her team never wavered in their commitment to us. My daughter and her husband had the magical wedding ceremony and reception that they had hoped for. Thank you Brianne and the whole Brianne McMullan Events team!

her team made our wedding day everything we could have imagined even while she was pregnant & through the ups and downs of covid. We would have never made it without her, and I will tell anyone how worthwhile of an investment her services are. I’ve included a detailed review below, but if you want the quick take – do yourself a favor and hire Brianne!! You will actually enjoy the wedding planning process and will arrive at your big day confident that it will be everything you dreamed and more!!! We began planning for our Sep. 2020 wedding in July of 2019, well before covid was even a thought. We interviewed several planners and Brianne immediately stood out. She was exceedingly kind and not only listened to the (honestly, fragmented) ideas we had for our day but sounded excited about them and made us feel like they were accomplishable with our budget. We chose Brianne’s full-service planning which includes design, planning and execution and it was the BEST. DECISION. EVER. Her design process was able to capture all our seemingly random wants and put them into the vision we didn’t even know we had. Brianne toured venues with us, attended wedding band previews and even arranged/ joined my wedding dress shopping. We started to secure the design-related vendors right when lockdowns began, and it was nerve-wracking to think about out how we were going to navigate that. But Brianne stepped up and made us feel like she didn’t even miss a beat. She coordinated with vendors for virtual meetings and worked with them closely to ensure they were in line with our design/ vision. She answered my never-ending stream of questions via email and was always prepared to explain the pros & cons of every situation/ design choice. When our venue wouldn’t allow us to do one of the things we planned for our design, she worked closely with our florist and turned the situation into one that we loved. With coivd in play, there was always a possibility of us having to change our date and there were several other precautions we had to take into account. Brianne managed all of this with grace and steadiness, she kept us clearly informed about what the options were, how the vendors may react and how it would impact us. She helped us address coivd concerns with our guests while making sure it wasn’t the focus of our day. The last few weeks leading to the wedding were smooth and enjoyable thanks to Brianne's coordination of the final details. I was so relaxed and was truly able to enjoy our wedding week with friends & family. The day of the wedding was so well coordinated and easy, I didn’t stress at all. It was set to rain right at ceremony time (of course) – Brianne had a plan though and, because she knew I was determined to have an outdoor ceremony, helped us get started a few minutes early to make that happen. We even had a power outage during the reception, and she worked with the venue and other vendors to resolve the situation and even extend our night a bit! We, along with our guests, were so in love with the design elements and execution of the day that we talked non-stop about it for months. Brianne truly made our wishes come true and made our engagement year one that was enjoyable and fun!

n't in our price range or what we wanted. Brianne guided us and helped us meet deadlines and was always two steps ahead. We never had trouble reaching her and she always made sure to contact us quickly to make sure we didn't miss out on vendors. Then February 2020 came. COVID struck and our world and plans flipped upside down; however, Brianne never missed a beat. She quickly contacted vendors as the State of Georgia was shutting down. She helped us secure rescheduling and refunds. She gave us advice on best practices as well as what she would do in our shoes. The advice was not what was easiest or most profitable for her. As we decided to have a 10 person ceremony (down from 350) in our backyard she helped coordinate to still have a beautiful wedding experience with flowers, photographer , and more. But that wasn't where she gave up on us. She then spent the next year working with us to have a vow renewal ceremony so we could have an event with family and friends. She helped us navigate vendors who closed or changed policies and when the vow renewal/wedding celebration came she was there to make the day perfect. We didn't have to worry about vendors, guests, or ourselves. She helped us have two perfect days. Without Brianne we would have been lost in the storm. She made our most special day(s) in a pandemic a reality and walked us into our next great adventure.

planning time. She kept us sane, on track, and more importantly, she kept us excited when we were so over the planning and changes! Her team made sure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding!!

mic, I had the most stress free experience planning my wedding. We used her for design, planning, and event management and she took care of everything and made sure everything was perfect! My wedding would not have been possible without Mindy. She didn’t forget a single detail and I was able to actually enjoy the planning process. My wedding day was perfect and more than I ever could have imagined, and I owe all of that to Mindy!

ye for design, but also the flexibility to shift as weather and both personal/global crises shift, the patience of a saint, and the connections in the Atlanta/Georgia areas to ensure that you're getting the best bang for your buck with every decision you make. She and her team have continuously gone above and beyond for us, and remained the most gracious and thoughtful humans as we struggled through a very tough year in 2020. We consider ourselves to be exceptionally lucky to have the chance to work with her for as long as we have, and that she and her team are going to be by our side as we hold (fingers crossed!) our big celebration in Fall 2021. She will be the best choice you make in the planning process, and you will not regret your decision to hire her. Like us, you might just leave the process of working with Bri not just with the wedding of your dreams, but also with a confidant, friend, and business mentor.

helped us navigate every step with an incredibly positive and professional attitude. Mindy absolutely went above and beyond the “event management” that we hired her for: helping us to secure new date options, recommending new vendors when some of our originals were not available, helping us navigate contracts, developing covid precautions and helping us organize a safe event for 100+, the list goes on. We could not be more thankful. And for the fun part (!!), the day of our wedding was flawless thanks to Mindy & her team. Coordination with all of the vendors ran smoothly & Mindy kept the schedule running on time. Mindy or a team member (who were all absolutely amazing) was by my side the entire day, getting me water, making sure I had everything I needed, etc, while simultaneously orchestrating everything like clockwork in the background. Our wedding day was a DREAM! We are eternally grateful to have found Mindy and Brianne. Thank you for everything!!!

veryone else around her happy! She thought of things that we never would have, and I can confidently say that our wedding would not have been nearly the same without her!

questions I had at the beginning and were wonderful resources. Once the pandemic hit they turned out to be invaluable! I can’t say enough how amazing and helpful Hanna and Brianne were in all of the tough postponement decisions and different changes we had to make for our wedding during the changing times. Hanna answered all my questions and listened to all my fears and concerns about changes. They had amazing ideas and were there to help every step of the way. Jonathan and I could not have gotten through it without them! I can’t recommend Brianne McMullen Events enough!

ute gem to work with and we are so happy we found her. We started planning our Atlanta wedding while living in Washington DC. Brianne helped us with all of our wedding decisions by showing us options for vendors that she highly recommended that would fit within our budget depending on our priorities. It made our decision making process seamless and saved us so much time while we were in the middle of a move across the country. All of the vendors Brianne recommended were amazing and we could not recommend them highly enough. When it came to the day of the wedding, Brianne had a team of 4 who made our day magical. Every single person worked so hard to make our dream wedding day. We still receive rave reviews from our guests about everything from how well organized our day was to how our food was the best wedding dinner they have ever had. This is all thanks to BME!! If there is one decision we would suggest for everyone no questions asked, it is to hire Brianne and her team.

ed with all of my vendors and made sure they were on the same page, brought to my attention things I hadn’t thought about, designed the layout for the room, met us for a group food tasting, helped to keep me organized, answered any questions I had and so much more! Mindy along with her team- Ashley, Hanna and Meagan were with us the day of the wedding. They were amazing and worked hard to make sure my wedding day was perfect and it absolutely was! Everything ran smoothly and right on time and there was always at least one of them right by my side all day making sure I was taken care of and had everything I needed. They even re-steamed my dress right before I walked down the aisle! They took care of everything that day and I am so thankful. I can’t thank or compliment them enough! If you are looking to hire BME, you definitely should. You will not be disappointed!

nd their - sometimes giant! - families) feel supported, informed and at ease. She was incredibly responsive to any questions we had, offered thoughtful feedback, and guided us through the sometimes-overwhelming engagement season like the pro she is :). We booked BME for event management services, so they starting working with us about two months before our wedding - which was perfect! On the day of, Brianne and team (big shoutout to Mindy!) made sure everything went according to plan - and immediately jumped in to manage anything "unexpected." Highly recommend BME!

to even hire a wedding planner. It wasn’t until I talked to a dear friend who had just had a very high end wedding for her daughter, who shared that a good wedding planner is not only a mental blessing for guidance and dealing with a mountain of wedding details … but they can actually save you money in negotiations with vendors! After pursuing several wedding planners I discovered Brianne’s website…. And knew I had found a gem. My fingers were crossed that she would take us on! After seeing her video and speaking with her, I could tell she had “pearls and cashmere” taste, but would never push her own agenda. She was the perfect fit for us. From the moment I first spoke with Brianne, I was delighted that I had found the perfect partner with whom I would spend the next few months planning my daughter’s wedding. She was delightful to work with, respectful in each of our desires and expectations, detailed in every aspect of planning, and exceptional in communication with us and our vendors. She was able to pace our planning so that we were not busy with unnecessary details, nor s consumed with details prior to its appropriate timing, and yet she was always available to clarify any confusion or calm any concerns at any point in the process. I loved that she understood what I was going through….we could laugh, question tricky details, and overcome bumps along the way. She was professional, yet in the end, I found a lovely friend in Brianne as well. It was bittersweet to end our conversations after months of planning together! I hope that no mother of the bride, or bride, ever expects that the wedding process and/or the wedding weekend will sail along without any bumps whatsoever. There will be small bumps… maybe even bigger ones… ours were small. But Brianne and her team where SO on top of every detail and worked extremely hard to smooth the road toward the “perfect day”. I have to say that we could not have hoped or dreamed for a more perfect wedding weekend than we had. We were elated. Did it rain? Yes! Did it matter? No! It was perfect. Absolutely perfect. And we were so happy with our vendors. Brianne and her team had headphones on and were busy bees behind all the scenes… while we danced the night away in the most magical night of wedding bliss we could have ever imagined. Thank you, Brianne, and your wonderful team …. For allowing us to simply enjoy this once in a lifetime moment. We are still drinking in all the joy of the amazing weekend and this beautiful event.
