Events by M and M

ice. We got the small but dreamy beach wedding we were hoping for, all thanks to her and her crew. We really, really, REALLY appreciate everything she did for us to make our special day perfect

everything we wanted it to be. She is so incredibly organized and knowledgeable, and it made the wedding planning process so seamless and fun. I never had to worry about any missing detail or deadline and Meg was always available for a meeting if I had any questions along the way. She also worked so well with all our vendors and made sure everything was coordinated. Meg was wonderful throughout the whole process and made sure our wedding day was perfect and stress-free for us.

py to report that not once has something come up where we think "we should've done this better at our wedding." We did the middle package with Meg which was perfect for us. I definitely wanted to play an active role in the planning so this worked out well for us. Meg was always there to send us off in the right direction and get us a head start. She didn't do everything for us (as expected) but having her to promptly answer and questions and bounce ideas back and forth with saved us a ton of time! For reference, we had a substantial part in the day-to-day planning while both working full-time and attending school full-time. So it's a lot of work but totally doable if you stay organized and manage your time properly! We highly recommend working with Meg and her middle of the road package if you are ready to put in work as well. She has so much knowledge and expertise with things that are so often overlooked, like general timeline and making sure guests have a pleasant and smooth experience at your big day. Overall we loved our experience and would recommend that everyone read the fine print closely and discuss roles and responsibilities so it's made clear from the start what you're signing up for. If you sign up for a middle of the road package, that's what you're going to get and it's perfect if you want a substantial and active role in planning your perfect day!

a nightmare. I had to deal with an unreasonable and irate vendor, my venue cancelling three weeks before the wedding, and countless other hurtles including reducing the guest list by 75% and so on. Through all the nightmare, Meg stood strong and helpful. She provided guidance and solutions to problems. She managed to find a last minute videographer, find a new venue with just three weeks to spare, and turned it into the most amazing wedding I could have ever imagined. After my original venue canceled, I felt hopeless and stopped caring about everything. Meg managed to help me gain the excitement of the wedding back by pulling everything together in a last minute fashion. She communicated and planned with all my vendors, helped with the rentals of everything I didn't know I needed, offered solutions to SO. MANY. ISSUES. The day of she had the schedule down and helped everything run smoothly. I had a huge wedding party she managed to control somehow and kept everyone on time. She really helped bring my vision together and transform it into the most amazing day. I mean, she literally even went as far to make sure my food (I was too busy/nervous to eat) was boxed up and placed in my room so I could eat it later. She helped me place together so many small details that brought so much joy to myself and my guests. Things like getting lemon bars delivered to the hotel room the night before the wedding to all my guests, and a light refreshing drink during the pre ceremony seating time. She really though of every last detail and helped make my wedding unique and special. I love Meg with all my heart and will always carry a special fondness of her and her work. You will not regret hiring her. You will be so unbelievably happy and glad you did. She really is the fairy godmother of weddings. Thank you Meg for all your work. You are amazing!

ound Meg after searching through many planners that I just felt weren’t right for me. I knew from our first phone call that she was the one for me lol so I booked her on the spot. So I live in New York and got married in Malibu, CA. Now planning a wedding is stressful but planning a wedding across the country is even more stressful....I thought. Little did I know I was planning a wedding across the country during COVID 19. After 3 trips and 1.5 years of planning with Meg, the entire world changed. Meg asked me if I wanted to move my wedding, I said no. She told me not to worry and we were going to make it happen anyway we can (following protocol obviously). I can truly say Meg looked into the rules and kept me updated on a daily basis. Not only did Meg follow rules and protocols to make my wedding safe for all my vendors and guests, she made my vision become a reality. Although we had a smaller guest list, we did not sacrifice anything short of what I wanted. The day was absolutely perfect thanks to Meg! Not only did Meg make my dream come true in an unprecedented time, she was more than a vendor.... she was my friend. Meg was there for me every step of the way (Even the day of her own wedding when I was having a panic attack about my wedding, she answered the phone). Mind you I live in NY so It’s 3 hours earlier in the East Coast. Meg always answered me. This women is a wedding God. She did nothing short of an amazing job. If I had to go back to this extremely stressful time to plan a wedding, I would as long as Meg was my planner. She can make anything happen. I highly recommend choosing Meg. I can not thank her enough. Choose Meg! 😀

ich allowed us to trust the team to put together our desired wedding experience. They handled all of the details, communication, and scheduling with each vendor. They provided us with very helpful guidance and suggestions -- especially since we live in NY and our wedding was in CA. On the day of our wedding, Meg made it so that there were zero decisions to be made, and our only focus was to enjoy our special day with our guests who all had an amazing time! Everything was seamless and fun and a day we will cherish forever. Thanks Meg for making our wedding so special!!

her spreadsheets that she provided for tracking our guests, decor and budget. We brought Meg on as our "Week of" coordinator. On the week of, she was incredibly helpful in communicating with our vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly from the rehearsal right through the big day. I would highly recommend Events by M and M!

he was very knowledgable about the venue. Everyone has told us our wedding was one of the most beautiful they had seen, and it was all because of Meg and her team. The florist she works with in southern california was particularly amazing. We couldn't have done it without their dedication and vision, she comes highly recommended!

an overloaded Pinterest board. I knew I wanted it to have a very relaxed romantic feel without seeming too uptight. We had picked a gorgeous winery as our venue and I knew it could embody both of our wants. After interviewing with Meg I instantly clicked with her “get-it-done” personality and humor! It was only a few conversations with my parents, and we began our 7-month planning journey! Now, seven months isn’t a lot of time in the wedding planning world but, Meg and her team absolutely nailed every vision, vendor, and walk through. Her design board checked off every “want” and provided options within our budget without every sacrificing the experience. It was the easiest and most enjoyable event process I have ever been a part of even with some type of meeting or walk through happening back to back. I knew Meg was executing every detail as her and her team kept me in the loop with where we were at in processes and answered any random question I had without having to wait. My fiancé and family were all very excited about the big day and could not wait to see what our vendors had dreamt up in person. Unfortunately, the unthinkable happened. We had arrived the Thursday before our wedding, just as the fires struck Malibu. Friday morning, I was trying to keep my calm and without hesitating Meg immediately called me and started working with vendors to secure a game plan to make the day come together despite the road closures and air conditions. A few hours later, while watching the news from our hotel surrounded by smoke, I saw a reporter in front of my venue with flames behind him. Everyone expected me to be a total mess but, it was my faith in Meg and her stellar team that kept me so calm. In the matter of half a working day, with no WiFi, she had found a new venue, secured new vendors, and assisted in signing new contracts and getting memos out to our guests all before dinner. I didn’t get a rehearsal, I never got to say “I do” where I had envisioned I would. But I wouldn’t change anything that happened that weekend. The day was absolutely gorgeous and filled with more love than it would have originally been, I think. I owe all of my memories, peace, and happiness from that weekend to Meg and her team. I am almost crying happy tears writing this. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me and my family. I love you always Meg, thank you for everything.

t. We have saved the very best for last. It was our wedding coordinator who skillfully and patiently guided us to choose the very best DJ, flouriest, photographer, videographer, transportation, cake & dessert designer, and make-up crew. Thank you to Meg West and the entire team at Events by M & M for putting together a night my wife and I will forever cherish. Early on, Meg listened to all of our crazy ideas and specific preferences and ran with it. This was no small feat. My wife and I had very different approaches to our wedding aesthetic. Meg was able to process what was most important to us both and put together a theme and look that not only pleased us, it wowed us. She was able to make the months, weeks and days leading up to our wedding seem easy and stress-free. We almost started to worry about how un-stressed we were. On the day of, Meg and her team skillfully commanded all the moving parts of a massive wedding machine while remaining near invisible to our guests. I cannot begin to express my eternal gratitude to Meg and everyone at Events by M & M for their hard work and dedication to making our wedding day so special. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. We write reviews (both good and bad) to help others make informed choices. I write this review to help future bride and grooms to make the wise choice. In searching for the perfect wedding coordinator, stop looking, Events by M &M is at the top of the list.

ether a beautiful wedding that was so seamless. We could not have asked for any better! When we began the planning process, my (now) husband and I were looking for someone who could take the reigns, so we decided on the partial package. We had already decided on a venue and photographer, but I wish we had found M and M sooner, because it would have made that process so much easier! I tend to get overwhelmed with minutiae and can become paralyzed when too many options are presented. Meg was fantastic at helping to narrow things down for us. M and M provided us with a short list of recommended vendors so that we didn't have to constantly sift through numerous websites and reviews, only to then have to play phone/email tag with each one. Not only were their recommendations well qualified, but the list appeared to have a range of prices to choose from. Meg and Noel were also extremely responsive (both by email and phone), and I always felt better after having talked with them. They listened to my ideas intently, understood exactly what I wanted, and was able to run with it and make fitting suggestions when I was totally lost. Meg's warmth and energy leading up to the wedding and on the day of made me feel so at ease and confident that all would go well. And it did! On the day of the event, everything was set up beautifully as planned, and vendors were on time and working hard. The team made sure that the wedding party stayed on schedule as well, and I was so glad that they made sure my husband and I had a huge plate of food (with time to actually eat it)! With open communication, superb attention to detail, great listening skills, and a clear love for event planning, you cannot go wrong with Events by M and M. They will definitely take care of you!

great design vision. Additionally, the day of was incredibly perfect, and we give her all the credit. She's awesome and would recommend her to anyone.

to Meg was around 6 months before the wedding. Meg was caring and sensitive. She was able to quickly capture my wedding vision and needs after a few phone calls and email exchanges. Her design board presented so many beautiful details that matches our styles and personalities. What I appreciated the most was they left me with no stress and any possible hectic from the planning, so I really enjoyed my time of being an almost worry-free bride-to-be. On the wedding day, Meg made sure everything was carried out smoothly. Her passion and sunny personality played such an impeccable part that everyone appreciated.

the day, then handed off to them a week ahead of time where they then took the reigns, pulled it all together, ensured there were no gaps, and likely sprinkled magical fairy dust on it all to ensure a great event. :-) A really important bonus is that they were available by email if I needed advice along the way at any point in planning, not limited to only the week prior. They also checked in at certain points in time with reminders of where I should be in the planning process. This was so appreciated!! I’m a super-planner Type-A so I’ll admit handing things off is not easy for me. But with Meg and Noel? They made me feel so confident and excited that I couldn’t wait for them to take over! Meg was my main contact leading up to the wedding and Noel was my day-of coordinator. They are both very smart, driven, quick, and friendly women and I was very thankful for their expertise and guidance. Without them, my day would not have been the fabulous day it was. The peace of mind I had knowing that Noel and assistants were directing (and likely troubleshooting last minute problems) once the day started allowed me to just have fun and to be fully present in the day. I highly, highly recommend!!

n issue, neither of us knew about it, which is what we wanted. Meg and her team listen to you, provide you with some many great features to help plan and organize, and you can feel how much they want your special day to perfect.

to think about at first. BUT, once I began working with Meg and her amazing team at Events by M and M, those worries simply melted away. From our initial budget and planning meeting - when I literally knew nothing about where to start - to the rehearsal, Meg and her team were professional, informative, and able to offer their industry experience to get me and my husband started. We selected Events by M and M for their coordination package, where they assisted coordinating set up and tear down of our vendors and day-of coordination of events. This helped us have a completely seamless event that literally went off without a hitch. We had about 100 guests at a beautiful venue in the arts district in Los Angeles, and my guests are still saying almost a year later that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Events by M and M allowed us to create our unique vision and bring it to life perfectly. We are so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with them and they get my highest recommendations! I've also attended several of their weddings as a guest - and they are no exception. The best I have been to. Thank you Events by M and M for all you did for my husband and I to have the perfect wedding!

er various packages for affordability. As artists, we only could afford “the day of” package yet that still includes consulting months out, helpful tools to stay organized, and a week before the wedding a thorough check in with all the vendors which was so helpful in securing that everything ran flawlessly for our big day. We chose a very DIY space (Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu) and though we did a lot of work ourselves, there are still so many unexpected challenges and small yet very important details that Noel helped us navigate beautifully. I was grateful that she kept us on schedule yet didn’t make us feel rushed so we could enjoy and be present during the day. Noel is detail oriented and also made sure we were fed (very important when there’s so much going on), that I had shoes to change into for my first dance, and that our car was packed with all the things on our list of take home items. She is warm and professional. I highly recommend Events by M&M!

so professional and nice! They were so organized and helped keep me on track, which I definitely needed! They did not make me feel pressured with time requirements as they planned everything out so perfectly! When my husband and I met them at our walk through, it was even more confirmed that I would not have to worry about anything going wrong on our wedding day. We had the pleasure of having Noel as our coordinator for our wedding day and couldn't have been happier! She was on top of EVERYTHING! If I needed anything she was on it and got it done immediately! She made sure everything was in order and occurring on time. She was pleasant the entire time and my whole family loved her! I am so grateful to have worked with Events by M and M and as a result had the wedding of my dreams! Totally exceeded my expectations! THANK YOU!!!

ou and Noel. Noel was amazing, to say the least. Noel was alert, attentive, welcoming and such a hard worker on Friday. Our family is a tad needy and you took control of each scenario polity, professional but firm. Your entire team was amazing. Your responsiveness was amazing, when a situation was brought to your attention for whatever the reason was, you and your team was there to step in and mediate the situation immediately. Our family was ranting and raving how you gave clear and concise directions throughout the wedding rehearsal and most importantly with our mom’s fear of heights. Events by M & M professionalism far exceeded our expectations and the overall vision we were going towards. Definitely, such a memorable event that will never be forgotten. We and our close friends and family enjoyed every single second of it. Words cannot express the magnitude of gratitude I have for you and your team at Events by M & M. We are truly thankful and thank you for the bottle of Brut. We are saving it for our one-year anniversary. KIT! XOXO Warm Regards, M/M Childress – May the Fourth Be with Us!

aking with her, we immediately knew we wanted to work with her, so we hired her for her full service planning package. We were unorganized and having trouble making decisions, and Meg picked up on what we wanted and put it together beautifully. She took every idea and suggestion we had without complaint. She was also able to recommend all the best vendors to us. Meg made sure we were prepared and had everything we needed for our big day, then made sure everything went perfectly smooth. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I had no idea. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for everything Meg and her team did for us, and we highly recommend them to everyone.

ful, and even exceeded my expectations! She handled EVERYTHING from deliveries, getting guests to their places, decorations, event timeline, she even helped me put on my veil before I walked! Honestly, out of everything spent on the wedding, SHE was the MOST important. My wedding would have been a mess without her running around and handling EVERYTHING!

ess-free. With that, we decided to book. Unfortunately, we didn't get Meg as our coordinator. We only got the day-of package... which consisted of any type of planning and consulting you needed prior to the big day via email/phone call. We had a couple emails back and forth, and everything seemed fine until about 2 weeks before the wedding. Mary was the planner/coordinator assigned to our wedding. The good news is, she is a very hard worker and so were her assistants. But her attitude and opinionated comments were where it went downhill for me. She didn't seem to care how I wanted things to go, and went about her routine, without caring what our requests were. Mind you, we weren't asking for something crazy, but we had a some specific aspects of our day that we hoped would be accommodated to our standards. Our guests were not directed to the ceremony space as they were supposed to be, our tables had been set up wrong, Our timeline was executed incorrectly, a whole cake was wasted, and I was left with a sour taste in my mouth about the coordinator, Mary. I would still recommend this company to someone looking for a coordinator, but would recommend that you ask for a different coordinator than Mary.

thing- from finding our dream venue to worrying about the small details the day of. She was a life saver!

team ever! They think of every little detail and are on top of their game. They made the whole process super easy and stress free! Everyone kept asking how my husband and I planned the best wedding they've ever been to and our answer is Events by M and M!

e our day ran smoothly by thinking of things we would never even have thought of! I loved having Noel there wedding day. She is the sweetest and helped our day go off without a hitch! Would definitely recommend.

super sweet and Meg made me feel so comfortable and was very tolerant of my quirkiness! They helped me stay organized and focused, and talked me through all the little details that I wasn’t sure of! I’m a very indecisive person, and Meg helped me process things in a way that not only helped me MAKE the choice, but helped me make a good choice! Even though I did the “planning” piece myself, Meg is the one who really brought everything together that day and made my vision come to life. On the day of, Meg ensured every detail was perfect! Even things that I hadn’t thought of! She filled all the gaps. And to top it all off, Meg sure that I was taken care of that day. She helped me stay calm, and not feel rushed or in a hurry. She made me feel like my needs were priority and she made sure that I was happy every second of that day! I absolutely adored her and her team and would recommend them 1,000 times over. THANK YOU SO MUCH MEG!!!! You are a freaking rockstar and were a pleasure to work with!

nd made sure all the details we wanted were exactly the way we wanted. If you know you need a wedding planner or are considering one just to get the stress off, contact Events by M & M!

ect! I went through the whole day without having a single worry or concern. Everything was perfectly executed and were so happy we had Meg and Mary there for our big day. Highly recommend them for anyone that is getting married.

eek of" the wedding, the M and M team was available to help with vendor recommendations, phone meetings and email throughout our wedding planning process...for which I am eternally grateful. I worked mostly with Mary....and my goodness, can that woman throw a party! She was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, nimble and flexible the day of the wedding, and 100% on top of her game. If anything went wrong during the event I have absolutely no clue, Mary handled everything with grace, speed and perfection. If I had known how amazing the M and M team was before booking the "week of" package I probably wouldn't upgraded to a larger package so I could've had even more of the M and M magic throughout my wedding planning experience. Mary is the absolute best...you would be missing out not hiring this team for your wedding.

ce so as not to get overwhelmed. They are cool, calm, super helpful, and extremely professional! Highly recommend :)

you did for Seb and I. Much Love- Parisa

as perfectly seamless and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Thanks!!

have questions, they are more that happy to help. They were on it the day of the rehearsal and day of. We loved how they were so attentive during the ceremony and reception. To top of everything, they gave us a personalized gift which was so sweet. You will not go wrong if you have Events by M and M as your wedding coordinator!

all amazing. She has a strong personality where people will listen to her and get the job done.

my wedding. We interviewed a couple planners and settled on Meg. It was one of the best decisions we made. She made the wedding and reception so enjoyable for me. I never worried about anything. She listened to our ideas and added more to help pull off our unique theme. When my dress was too long after my shoe change, she fixed it with her tool belt and I didn't miss a beat. I am so glad we hired Meg, we got to enjoy our day and our friends and family enjoyed the day too. My only wish was we had a photo of Meg and her team with us to remind us of all the hard work and joy she brought to us.

." They we went above and beyond the call of duty. I can't not express how grateful I am for them AND I couldn't stop thanking them throughout the day/night of our wedding. Whatever vendor or ideas you need, they have multiple options and solutions for you. These woman are the bomb!

of trying to plan our destination wedding in Santa Barbara on my own - I reached out to Events by M&M. After just one phone call with Meg, she made me feel a million times better! Her and her team really understood our vision and took care of all the details from managing our Vendors, keeping track of our RSVP's, creating our floor plan, timelines, photographer/videographer schedules, music, decorations, etc. - all while keeping us within our budget. On the day of our Wedding, Meg was like a mind reader! She literally had every thing covered and we did not have to worry about a thing! She is amazing at what she does, and we are so lucky to have found her! Thanks to Meg & her Team, our Wedding Day (and all the planning leading up to it) was more perfect than we could've dreamed!!!

r). After reading Cindy P's review, I'm simply just going to piggyback her glowing review. "Never once felt the need to walk into the reception area to make sure all the items I gave her were where I wanted them." -- FACT "When she needed my husband and I to be somewhere for a scheduled event (garter, bouquet, cake, etc.) she definitely came to find us, but she never became pushy or intrusive. If we were in the middle of a conversation with someone, she would patiently wait and do her best to let us finish. She would simply and lightly place her hand on our arm, shoulder etc. to discreetly let us know it was time to move on." -- FACT "When the night was over, all of my personal things from the sweetheart table, the photo and the bridal suite were completely packed up..." -- FACT When you read that Meg goes "above and beyond", this is true. When my wife and I were taking a short break between the ceremony & the reception to grab some things from our hotel room, I went in to find our room was cleaned and Meg had left a bottle of champagne (which we quickly guzzled haha). Literally, the transition from the church ceremony to the reception was FLAWLESS. Never once did my wife and I ever wonder what was going on, who was where, what was next. There were no hiccups or bumps in the road and if there was, my wife and I certainly didn't know about it. My vendors were VERY impressed with her timeline guide she provided them for the order of events for the reception. We were SO impressed with the work M & M did for us, as they were such an important part of our reception. The night went by so fast and if I could do it over, I definitely would have grabbed the mic and gave M & M a standing ovation for all the work they put into our special night. #FLAWLESS THANK YOU M & M! YOU ARE AWESOME!

s of dollars on a wedding it only makes sense to have someone ensuring that everything comes together smoothly. Let me assure you that Meg and Events by M&M are the ones for the job. When meeting her you will think as I did, "This is the person I want in control of my wedding day and wrangling all of the vendors." She gets sh** done. We had a complete DIY wedding with a lot of moving pieces and no onsite coordination at either our ceremony or reception venues. Meg's team did a fantastic job and continually guided the flow of the entire occasion so we were always where we needed to be without feeling stressed. Nothing will ever go as planned with weddings and as you plan yours you will hear horror stories from family and friends. It just so happened that the weekend of our wedding there was a tragedy and Meg was unable to personally attend our event. She had an entire team that showed up led by Becky to make sure our day still went off without a hitch. Whenever we turned around Becky was there with instructions or a helpful bottle of water. Even when an emergency happened, Meg still made sure that we had the help and guidance that our event needed to be successful and we could not have been happier with the result. Do yourself a favor, stop looking at wedding planners, and book Events by M&M. Thank you Meg & Becky for making our day perfect!

er after reading so many good reviews about her past services.I am very very pleased that she was available to assist for the day of services. Meg is remarkable! She and her assistant knew exactly how to coordinate the wedding the way we were hoping it would turnout. I would highly recommend Meg to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator - you will be in very very good hands!!!!

stress but I was happy to enjoy my wedding day without having to deal with too much drama. They are super organized and have nifty things to help you get organized so that your day can be beautiful! Thank you Meg and Rebecca!

uld have done without them. I have planned very large events before and thought planning my wedding would be a snap. I was mistaken. Month-of , or at the least, day-of coordination is a 100% necessary investment for your wedding. Meg wasn't just helpful in finding amazing vendors, she was peace of mind when I needed someone to calm me down and she and her team were absolutely GENIUS day of. Meg and Becky handled all curevballs seamlessly and took everything and kicked it up a notch. For instance,I bought 150 donuts for dessert, rented the table, linen and gold stands, but sort of forgot about decor past that as the cake was my main focus. Meg got creative and took candles from other areas, repurposed bridesmaids' bouquets and a wood stand from our ceremony florals and took a Marquee S I bought and created an insanely beautiful donut bar. It was one of the highlights of the night and guests couldn't stop talking about it! Another detail I hadn't thought of was clean up... because it was at my Grandma's house, when we showed up the next morning I expected to still have a lot of clean up to do- I figured we would have trash to gather, vases and candles to organize, decor to box up... Meg and her team had left us NOTHING to do. They had organized all our candles, decor, etc to a T. All trash was bagged and organized. All leftover food be it cake or hors d oeuvres had been doggie bagged and put in the fridge, it was absolutely spectacular. They kept everything on schedule and handled vendor arrival times etc so my day was stress free.. I can't thank M&M enough for everything they did, I could go on and on about all the special details they put into our day, but I think you get the idea. Highly recommend!

dy bar set up and she even brought in some of her own stands to make it look fantastic. Throughout the whole evening, she made sure I was okay and at the end, everything was all packed up and loaded into our car. I didn't even notice when all of that was taking place. The tool on my dress started to unravel so I went into the bridal suite to figure out how to fix it and she came to the rescue pinning it up. She is super organized and has a cheery personality. My husband was really impressed with everything she did and even commented a few times after the wedding how she went above and beyond the duties of a coordinator. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!

m. She had so many great ideas she brought to the table i was astonished!! Her taste and keen eye for design is impeccable. My favorite part of her service was she added some custom menu/thank u cards for the tables that really made the wedding more personalized. This was a great idea amongst other little touches she brought to the wedding designs. My husband and i were also surprised at the end of a day to find champagne, candles and a sweet card set up in the honeymoon suite thanking us from Events by M and M. We also had live music during the arrivals/ceremony provided my Mike West and i couldn't have been more pleased with the vibe that he created. I definately recommend Meg and Mike for your upcoming parties and events! They are both completely professional and do an amazing job! I wish we could do it again :)
