Where do I even begin? Mark is truly talented and just amazing at what he does. He was my month-of planner and also my florist. Not only did he help me choose the vendors, fabrics...
, tables, flowers that were gorgeous - seeing it all together on the day was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. He and his incredible team handled every little detail, leaving me virtually stress free coming up to the weeks before the big day knowing it was in their more-than-capable hands. I 100% would not have had the wedding that I did without Mark. He has exquisite taste and knows all the local vendors very well. He truly thought of every little thing, including back up weather plans, signage, contacting my table vendor when my headcount suddenly increased, advice on countless wedding concerns, from logistics to design - I could go on for days! At my wedding, he brought the MOST beautiful flowers - more than I could have ever dreamed of! I had friends see photos online and several told me were the most gorgeous flowers they had ever seen at a wedding!
He and his team the whole wedding day ensured everything went off perfectly - and it really did. At the end of the night, my new husband and I were greeted in our room with our 8 bouquets of flowers from the bridesmaids and my bouquets, and a perfectly bundled area with cards and gifts. It blew my mind how they did that so seamlessly (at least it was seamlessly to me!).
Mark is truly amazing at what he does, and I want to have 7 more weddings just so I can continue to work with him and his team!
Amazing. That was what everyone kept saying the entire weekend. Mark did everything. Too bad he didn't pack for us as I would have packed my shoes and my husband would have packed ...
his shirt! Once I was done with the guestlist I pretty much checked out on wedding planning and did not worry about anything, and if I, or my mom did, we just asked Mark. He had it covered. Multiple people have told me that it was the best wedding they have been to and asked for Mark's contact info for the future. Event planning weds Marks passions and strengths. It is his niche. If Mark is your planner and you get uptight about something, you need to check yourself! He has it covered and it will be AMAZING!
Mark Padgett was the best money spent on my wedding. He helped to design the general concept and feel of our wedding, but also took care of the little annoying details and coordina...
ting and dealing with all the vendors. After meeting with Mark only a few times, we quickly realized he understood our desires and dreams for our wedding, so we felt comfortable with his vendor choices and letting him "play" with colors, design, and lighting. Everything was approved but us, but we loved everything so much it really didn't have to be. I was never once felt overwhelmed or stressed about planning my wedding. Seriously, its not worth it. I still have friends tell me to this day that my wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to.
After Matt and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to have a coastal wedding. We live in Fresno, CA and love to vacation on the central coast. The Cliffs Resort was the perfect locati...
on. After we established the venue...we were at a loss. I had this vision from the movies in which both our families and all our friends would spend the weekend with us. We would celebrate, eat, drink and relax for the entire weekend. The wedding itself also needed to be amazingly beautiful...the only catch... I had no idea how to achieve it all! I was finishing my BA and had very little time to plan. I found Mark while looking through wedding magazines and KNEW I had to meet him. Mom and I travelled over to San Luis, sat down and within moments of speaking with him we both knew he was exactly what my wedding needed. When you become a client for Mark, he makes you feel as though you are the only wedding he is planning! He invests so much time getting to know you and discovering who you are as a couple. The weekend of our big event, my family had nothing to worry about! We were able to enjoy every moment and not wonder about the flowers, the food, and the guests. It had all been taken care of and arranged. As for the presentation...I am not usually left speechless, but when I saw Mark had brought my entire wedding vision to life, I could not find the words! It was so beyond beautiful. 7 months later, we still talk about how our wedding weekend was exactly what Matt and I had wished. It was thanks to Mark Padgett Wedding Design that we were able to enjoy every moment of our special day. His care and love for his clients is something every bride deserves to experience when planning their special event!
Mark and his assistant, Jessica, were terrific. I didn't have to worry about anything, as they did the worrying for me. They had great suggestions that made the day perfect, but it...
was definitely my event. Very easy and fun to work with. We had a preceremony reception, ceremony and dinner/dance all at the same location. Over 200 guests that had to move from one location to the other. It could have been a total chaos but everything just flowed with Mark gently making sure we stayed (close to) on schedule. So many people said it was the most beautiful and real wedding they had ever attended. Everything went smoothly, thanks to Mark. . And it was not an over the top, expensive princess wedding....though Mark creates these events too. So, so grateful to them for their help. Recommend them to anyone.
My husband and I came to Mark with some unusual requests. We had a do it yourself wedding in mind, but we wanted someone to keep things on track for the day. We spoke with other ...
wedding planners and they were not interested in the idea, too concerned it could ruin their reputation if our ideas didn't work out. Mark, however agreed to work with us. The day turned out perfectly! It was very important to us that the day flowed well and a reasonable schedule was kept. We didn't want our guests starving because the dinner wasn't ready, for example. Mark listened to our ideas, offered suggestions, and did exactly what we wanted for our big day. We couldn't have been happier with how the day turned out, and our wedding even got featured on Rocknrollbride.com!! I would recommend Mark to my friends.
Mark Padgett is one of the most amazing people my husband and I have ever met! He truly is an honest and good person. This made it very easy to work with him to create the weddin...
g of our dreams! He made our wedding exactly what we wanted and then more! He is very professional and it is very obvious he knows what he is doing. I knew that we could never create a wedding that refelcted our love without the help of Mark. He has magnificent taste in everything from invitations, to my wedding dress, to every vendor he included in our day. He only chooses the best, and if you are going to be a vendor that Mark recommends...then you better be on top of your game because he doesnt recommend you if you arent the best at what you do with a great heart! He was there for everything from being our florist to lacing up my dress when it was time while setting up the entire wedding. We would refer anyone to Mark who needed help planning any event! He is truly the best at what he does! We love him and fell in love with him from the beginning phone call when we were looking for an event coordinator for our wedding. Having Mark in your life designing your wedding is worth every cost that is presented (because I know people care about the $) and he keeps your budget in mind through every aspect. He has an amazing ability to get to know you are and designs an event that completely reflects who you are. I seriously doubt that there is anyone better at event planning that Mark Padgett. He is truly an amazing person...

ough to find Mark... Mark is not only incredibly talented with design but he's also a joy to work with. We had so much fun planning our wedding with Mark. He took on all the hard stuff and left us only the fun stuff.

It was fun to plan and we had a blast the day of.. people still talk about how beautiful our wedding was.. the food.. the decorations... the ceremony...

d I would definitely recommend him to any couple that may be getting married. We planned with Mark from half way across the country, met with him twice, and experienced a picturesque wedding we thought only existed in my dreams. He thought of everything, I mean everything. Loved working with him, my mom thought he was just delightful... If you can dream it this man can create it. And he's SUPER fun to work with, at times I didn't know who was more excited about our wedding he or me (bride). Happy Wedding Planning to all....
