MAVEN

was an amazing partner throughout the process, meeting with us in person and by Zoom multiple times to make sure all the details were communicated and we felt comfortable handing things over to her for the day. We also felt that she really got the kind of event we were trying to deliver for our guests, and made suggestions that honored that vision. Day-of, Steph was very present and warm, and she coordinated across all of our vendors to pull off the day and make sure music cues and other details went smoothly. She always had a smile on her face, and if we had any requests, she was able to figure them out. We could not have been happier and we would recommend Maven--and especially Steph, who is a joy to work with--for future events!

bove the ceremony space (they collaborated with Phos for a greenery/edison lightbulb combo). We loved what they did with our space AND the bouquets they put together. We’ll have photos featuring their work forever and we’re so grateful we went with such a high-quality company.

y answered every question I had and kept me calm and confident my wedding would happen even as I planned in the midst of COVID. The final day was exactly the wedding I wanted - they completely brought it to life. Specifically, Rachael and Shaley, our floral designer and head designer, made our wedding absolutely stunning. It was exactly what we pictured when we first started planning but also somehow better?! The florals were incredible and every detail was so beautiful and unique and cool. When we got our photos back, we just marveled again at how well everything came together. Shaley did our initial design and connected us with all the vendors to make it happen, and Rachael took that initial design and ran with it in her final florals. We also worked with Calley for our day-of coordination, and she made sure everything went amazingly smoothly. She was somehow invisible but everywhere during the night! She made sure everything ran on time, looked great, and even that my husband and I got to eat all the food we wanted. She helped us get through our final month of planning with our sanity intact and made sure everything came together in the end.

ugh my event successfully without them! They made suggestions about details I overlooked and went above and beyond with helping me feel comfortable with the plan. Most importantly, I was able to completely enjoy my event just as much as my guests did because they kept tabs on the timeline and every detail. On top of all that, they were both delightful women! I truly enjoyed working with them. Thank you Rachel and Anna!!

the Maven team we felt very stress-free during the weeks leading up to our wedding. We worked with Kati on floral and decor — she was amazing! We had a large floral installation as the backdrop for our alter and it looked better than we could have imagined. Not to mentioned they nailed the look and feel we were going for- sort of a luminary loppet feel - with tons of candles and soft lighting. Shaley was our coordinator and she was absolutely fabulous!! Seriously, follow her on Instagram — she is inspiring! She was fun, professional and personable. I LOVED being able to send everyone who pointed out a problem or saw something out of place (ie mothers ;p) to her. She was totally there for us every step of the day and made sure things ran smoothly before, during and after. I would highly recommend Maven to everyone planning a wedding. They made our day so magical. Ironically, I did not know Maven owned Neu Neu, but we did consider this venue for our grooms dinner. Its very charming and chic. Definitely worth checking out. Thank you Maven for everything! We will post pictures soon!

lad I did!!! What they put together was not what I would have picked out for myself, but it was perfect. The bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning, and they did a great job adding small arrangements, candles and greens throughout the venue to add texture and color. Working with them was also a breeze - they were super responsive and answered all of my questions with helpful advice. Thank you mavens!!!

run smoothly and I am so thankful for all they did for us!

udios Event Center, which includes Day of Coordination through MAVEN, so that’s how we learned about them. As wedding planning got more stressful, we decided to add on MAVEN’s Design Package, and we are so happy we did. Shaley was incredible - we got to meet with her in person where she attentively listened to our ideas and came up with a few of her own to make our day and space really unique and beautiful! Not only do they help with tangible design details like floral and stationery, they can help with other more intangible things like order of events. Through all of our conversations and emails, we could tell they are a very professional group who are experts in their field. They handled every question and worry we threw at them with ease and reassurance. We booked floral and nearly all of our decor including all the table centerpieces through them. When we saw the space the day of, we were floored - everything came together perfectly and the space looked like “us”, not just another cookie cutter wedding. And the best part was that they took care of all of the set-up and tear down, which meant less stress for our families, and more time to enjoy the day! Huge shoutout to our amazing Day of Coordinator, Kalie, for knowing exactly what needed to happen and timing everything perfectly. We felt so secure in her hands, and she was an absolute joy to work with as well! Also thanks to Linda (floral design) and all the other MAVENs who helped deliver, set up, flip, and tear down the space. If you’re on the fence about booking MAVEN, DO IT NOW. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re having fun instead of stressing on the best day of your life.

even teared up seeing our head table decor with an install they created. They were easy to meet with throughout the process and did set up and tear down without me having to worry about a thing.

he weeding or the day of without Kelly and the Maven team! She was calm, organized, and supportive and made sure that every single detail that I had obsessed over for the year leading up to the wedding was executed flawlessly. Thank you Kelly!

n. While we enjoyed our wedding immensely and things still looked beautiful, there are definitely things that didn't turn out how we had hoped, and communication overall could have been better. Events: Ultimately our coordinator, Danielle, was amazing on the day of. While I'm really glad that we ended up with her, I didn't initially realize that we did not meet the actual day of coordinator when hiring Maven, and did not know who she was until relatively late in the process. I hired a day of coordinator because I am prone to stressing out during big events, and feeling comfortable with the person I would be interacting with on my wedding day was a crucial part of that decision. (I totally own that this misunderstanding might have been my fault.) So, while there were some communication missteps with coordination leading up to the wedding, the day of was 1,000% smooth, and Danielle went above and beyond. Would absolutely recommend. Floral: Maven does really wonderful work, and I admire it very much. Most of our floral turned out beautifully, but with better communication, everything could have turned out great. I met with the team about 15 months before our wedding for an initial meeting to reserve the date and have a loose discussion of concepts. At the time we didn’t have the venue or colors finalized, I wasn’t totally sure of the creative direction or preferred flowers, and I had very little concept of how much flowers and greenery cost. This was the only in person meeting we had. As my fiancé and I finalized details and developed a more specific concept, I tried to get in touch with the floral designer to make adjustments and more fully realize the design. We didn’t stray too terribly far from the initial proposal book, so it never seemed to warrant a larger discussion—but I probably should have been much more proactive with making sure things were on track. Ultimately, most of the décor items ended up perfect, especially the ceremony garlands and aisle flowers. The bridal bouquet, however, was not quite as I’d envisioned from the proposal (more compact, less sweeping, smaller), there was not as much color overall as we would have liked, and the flower crown I had ordered was not a crown, but a piece to be pinned on the side in a difficult to work with shape. I would have added more funds to the flowers if needed—the initial budget I gave may have been on the low end simply because I was unfamiliar with the costs of the items, but this never came up as an issue. The floral designers did add extra small details on the day of that tied things together and were very thoughtful. They are obviously very talented—I would absolutely recommend them, but I would suggest being more active in your communication with them if you have specific ideas, or even if something in your proposal book appeals to you as it is shown.

n forgot to pick up our linens and Alison somehow magically got them from Linen Effects. Highly recommend :). - The Carbone's

el an ounce of stress the day of our wedding and it was because of Shaley, Kelly and their teams. Seriously, do yourself a favor and hire them now! We couldn't have asked for more creative, thoughtful and kind ladies to work with. Thank you for making our day the best ever!!

fice space a few months before the wedding and talked through details. The day of the wedding, Kelly came to the hotel to drop off bouquets, boutonnieres, and my hair pieces. Everything looked amazing - and completely what we desired. Her team set up our venue hours prior to the event. The weather was super hot, so we made a few changes with florals - and they were super flexible and knowledge regarding what would work in the heat. Between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception florals, we were super pleased - everything looked perfect and details were on point. I would definitely recommend Maven.

r a month before the wedding, and it was the first moment in the wedding planning process I felt reassured everything was going to be perfect. She followed up with emails as often as I needed, and was always on top of every detail. She was kind to my family and wedding party the day of too! To my knowledge, our wedding was flawless without any problems (so if there were any, she took care of it with great discretion). I really can't say enough good things about MAVEN and Brie. Thank you so so much!!!!!

ecuted flawlessly. Our day was absolutely perfect and it wouldn’t have been possible without them. Not only are they incredibly talented, they are wonderful people. We instantly felt a connection with them and knew that we would be in good hands on the big day. Pricing was also super reasonable!! The night of my wedding, I remember thinking, how did we afford all this!!?? We told them what we wanted to spend (thinking it wouldn’t get us much) and it turned out so much better than we could have ever imagined. I also think that having a day of coordinator (specifically Shaley:)) is a NECESSITY. I’ve been to many weddings where family and friends are stressed trying to make sure everything runs smoothly, but that was not the case at our wedding. Shaley took care of everything and everyone was happy and stress free all day. Hire the Mavens, you won’t regret it.

d to email with us making sure she had all the details. She was especially helpful in figuring out a floorplan with us, when I was being picky! We had some complicated table settings as well as a lot of pieces of decor in general and she did an AMAZING job of setting up. It was so much more than I could picture it being. She also checked in with us throughout the evening, kept things on schedule (and ahead of it!) and even got the bartenders to crack open the bubbly for me to have during dinner. Every detail was thought of. And clean up happened so quickly and seamlessly that I didn't even notice it. Everything was packed up and ready to go so we could load up the cars and head out at the end of the night not worrying about what we forgot. Honestly, working with Danielle was a better than I could have guessed and I'm so grateful for how the day turned out with all of her hard work! Thank you!

of what I envisioned, and I can't say enough about how gorgeous it all turned out! Absolutely stunning. We also had a few specific requests including hops in our hanging floral installation and bomber beer bottles in some of our centerpieces, and they were incorporated beautifully! Maven also did all the set-up of the floral for our ceremony and reception, installation of the hanging greenery, and take-down of all at the end. They event wrapped up a few centerpieces for our mothers. It was perfect.

oth the happy and stressful moments, and she was such a blessing during the day-of; helping us stick to our timeline and keeping us stress-free!

ginning and always helped me where I needed it, even if it was just an ear to listen. My husband Jonah and I found her to be such a blessing to us throughout the planning process and of course on our wedding day. We had booked Maven for a partial planning package and for floral. Everything was spot on. There is not one single thing I did not like. Do you know how good that feels as a Bride? I knew I was always in trusted hands with Kelly and her team. If you haven't booked them yet, do it now! It is a decision you will never regret making.

and her excitement was so genuine. All the flowers were beautiful and the centerpieces were perfect! If you use Maven as your florist you will not be disappointed!!

ything she did for us and for her professionalism and kindness. Thank you so much, Bre!!!

ou need an event coordinator, you do! It helps soooooo much and really takes the stress off you on your big day!

dled without even telling us! Highly recommend them!

o work with people who understood what I needed and were able to give me advice.

, making the entire process so easy. From our very first meeting, Kelly understood our aesthetic and took time to get to know us as a couple. Not only did our floral arrangements exceed our expectations, but we were blown away by the attention to every single detail throughout our day. We highly recommend including day-of coordination if you choose to hire Maven. Bre was our lead day-of coordinator. She went out of our way to ease our worries and make sure our day went perfectly. She is kind and patient; an absolute joy to work with. We will definitely hire Maven again for future events!

went absolutely flawless. Sinah from Maven also helped with the preparation of the food we ordered and she was amazing as well. I would highly recommend Maven's services to everyone.

r outdoor wedding would not have been as successful or as beautiful. Initially, I was a little nervous because Maven is located in Minnesota, we are located in Iowa, and our wedding was in Wisconsin. But everything was above and beyond. I communicated with Jenny frequently through email and she always eased my concerns and had wonderful ideas. They took my ideas and vision of what I wanted for our wedding and turned it into a beautiful reality. The week and day of our wedding was hectic and stressful as we had to move locations last minute due to flooding and weather, but with Jenny and Kelly there everything was taken care of. My husband and I were so thankful for their professional help and guidance throughout the process. And the flowers, oh the flowers! The most gorgeous flowers I have ever seen at a wedding! People continue to compliment us on our beautiful wedding and the relaxed vibe of the day, which was all due to Jenny and Kelly!!! I wish that we were closer to them, so that we could hire them for future events!!

eryone enjoyed! Maven took care of everything: from the beautiful invitations, social hour, tour of the estate, and dinner. The invitations and decorations were beautiful and definitely complemented the look and feel of the mansion. Even when the weather did not cooperate with our original plans, Maven took it in stride and quickly reorganized and moved things around to accommodate. If I had not known the original plan, I would never have known that there was a problem. All in all, it was an elegant and stress-free evening where we were free to enjoy ourselves. I would definitely use Maven Event Production again for any future events and highly recommend them to others!

Kelly are experts at putting modern touches on classic designs while staying true to individual style preferences. Brides can trust that Kelly will handle all aspects of the wedding to exceed expectations and keep everything running smoothly. I would definitely recommend Maven for any event.

thing was perfect, and everything truly was. Their attention to detail and organization was refreshing to see. I would happily use them again!

fect bouquets and centerpieces! I couldn't have described exactly what I wanted but Maven did a wonderful job figuring it out and making it happen! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to any bride!
