Millie is a FANTASTIC vendor to work with! She is meticulous, kind, patient, and above all follows through with everything she says! Our wedding day was so smooth because of her! Everything I envisioned was done above and beyond. She clearly pours her heart and soul into what she does. I would highly recommend Millie to every one!

Thank you millieportes_eventmgmt for making sure that our event in New York was flawless. The staff was courteous and professional. Millie was in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. She assured us that all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. (Which we did). Thank you Millie for bringing our vision to life and then some! I wish I could give them 10 Stars. Highly recommended!

Millie was a lifesaver from beginning to end! She altered the bust of my new wedding dress the morning of my wedding. My original wedding dress got ruined by a cleaners in Fairmount, and I got the news the day before the wedding. Most importantly, my family and bridal party adored Millie. We did a chant for her at the end of the night. She had everything we needed in her bags like Mary Poppins and even ran out to buy me cough drops and hair gel and I don’t even know what else. Leading up to the wedding, she helped me find vendors (and our rehearsal lunch spot) within my budget and provided other options as needed. I do feel like a structured check-in schedule would have helped me stay on top of things and organized. So no fault to Millie of course but just a suggestion for the future.

Millie was the absolute BEST day-of coordinator for our wedding. She put everyone’s nerves at ease, especially mine and our mothers on either side, who are used to being the anxious planners and hosts of events, haha!! Our vendors raved about Millie too. They appreciated her organization and communication without being overbearing. We clicked with her immediately. You could tell she wanted the best for us, and we were immediately able to put our trust in her like she was part of the family. Partnering with Millie was the best decision we made (outside of getting married lol.) Thank you Millie!!

If you are thinking about booking Millie for your wedding planning, do it! She is AMAZING. We had our wedding this past weekend and I was originally only going to request her Day Of Coordinator services, but ended up upgrading to her Wedding Planner package and I'm SO glad I did.
She went way beyond the scope of her duties to ensure that we had the perfect day. For example, my wedding guest's dress ripped in half when she was dancing and Millie whisked her away into the house and sewed her dress up for her! Her confidence and direction made everything operate seamlessly - so much so, that I barely lifted a finger on my wedding day - something that I am NOT used to. The girl below who called her Mary Poppins got it right!
I never want to get married again 😂 but if I ever did, Millie would be my first call. THANK YOU MILLIE! George and I love you.

Millie was the real life "Mary Poppins" Whatever we forgot she had!! Her professionalism from start to finish was top tier. I feel like she had a sense when I started to get flustered because in such a calm voice every time she would say "Its Ok, breathe" She made sure every detail of my wedding was perfect starting in the morning at my bridal suite down to the very end of our ceremony. Anytime someone asked me a question my answer was always "Can you ask Millie?" My husbands mom cried and got makeup all over is suit. Without a panic Millie took his suit and cleaned it up for him while he still enjoyed his wedding day. She was around to fix my dress when having difficulties without anyone else noticing or wondering where I was. I would choose Millie over and over again for any event I have knowing that everything will be perfect!! I asked my bridesmaids to describe Millie in 1 word and these were their responses:
Phenomenal!!!!!!! I kept telling her she was Jennifer Lopez in the wedding planner! She was EVERYTHING!
Exceptional or magnificent!
She was on EVERYTHING! She went above & beyond for everyone who needed her 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
PERFECT I dont know what I would've done without her
Thank you so much Millie!!

As an event designer I understand how critical a good event manager can be to the successful execution of the event. Millie is competent an efficient. She was available to answer questions and provided all to information we needed to design and install a beautiful wedding. I am happy recommend her to any of my clients looking for a "day of" coordinator. I look forward to working with Millie in the future.

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Millie in preparing my dance recitals, since 2020. This past June was our third season and she succeeded my expectations, as always. Her attention to detail, her professionalism, and her willingness to take care of everything, while you are enjoying your event, is unmatched. Millie thinks of EVERYTHING, so you don’t have too, and you can enjoy your event. I would recommend Millie to any and everyone who is having a kind of event. Her experience and her knowledge in the industry is top notch. Thank you Millie for everything you did for me and my clients, you truly are the best.

Millie is the absolute best! She made sure everything was organized and under control. I would not have been able to have such a stress free day without her. She even had her assistant available to help the groomsmen getting ready. I cannot recommend Millie enough.

My daughter hired Millie and it was the best decision of the whole event. Millie is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and professional. She kept my daughter on pace, offered wonderful advice, and kept everyone calm. During the planning phase, on the few occasions when other family “players” in the wedding created (unintentional) obstacles, Millie was able to step in and skillfully—and considerately—dissipate the tension before it became a full-on conflict. When my daughter needed vendor recommendations, Millie’s choices were *excellent*: hair, makeup, DJ, and florist.
And Millie also helped my daughter fully realize her vision of a flower-filled springtime-celebration wedding. The day before and day-of logistics were so so easy thanks to Millie’s expertise. She made the wedding incredibly easy for us to simply enjoy. I simply cannot sing her praises loudly enough.

Millie is a godsend. We could not have done this wedding without her. I cried when she said goodbye because I truly cherish all she did for us. I cannot recommend this woman enough! She will make your day amazing! She had great ideas for decorations, flowers, the timing on the day of the wedding, and beyond. Her level of detail and caring was just fantastic. She was complimented by other vendors, who told her right in front of me that she was one of the best they’ve seen. I love her so much!

From day one Millie was on top of everything. She maintained regular communication and provided detailed break down of the days itinerary with multiple updates along the way. Whether it’s securing premiere vendors or running around to stores because someone forgot their tie, no job is too big or small. Trust the process and she will meticulously handle every detail so all you have to do is pay and show up.

Millie was instrumental in having our wedding go smoothly. If there were any issues I was not privy to them because Millie handled everything. She was there with me from 6:30AM when hair arrived all the way to the end of the night to pack up when I was long gone. She came to my house to get all decor and then bring it back the day after the wedding. I highly recommend using Millie to help you have the wedding of your dreams!

Most of us come into organizing a wedding as amateurs. Discovering a resource like Millie Portes was lifesaving and she helped us reach our goal - the couple, the parents and all of the guests were completely confident and could enjoy the great day because Millie was there for us for the whole thing, up to the last moment (and the day after). Her smile, her organization, and her unfailing ability to fix every glitch gave us the confidence to just enjoy ourselves. We can't thank you enough, Millie!

My fiancee I were looking for a wedding planner to help us coordinate our June wedding. Millie Portes was not just a wedding planner, but an angel sent to us from above. She was a true professional from start to finish. We did not have to worry about any details, big or small. Millie kept us abreast on all the important details. She was in constant contact with all of the vendors, right up to the day of the wedding. She made our entire wedding experience a true joy. We would not have had such a wonderful wedding experience without Millie's expertise and professionalism. I highly would recommend Millie to anyone planning their wedding or a loved ones wedding. Millie is the real deal. On a scale from 0 to 10, I give Millie a 10+++.

AMAZING!! I highly reccomended using Millie. Throughout the whole process she went above and beyond just to ensure I had everything I wanted. She was on top of every detail to make sure we weren't missing anything. On the day of my wedding she was running around to make sure everything turned out exactly how I envisioned. Not only was she making sure everyone was where they were suppose to be and helping us get ready, she threw in little memorable details. Things like cute timeline board for everyone to see while getting ready, mimosas and breakfast while getting dessed, even a book where my bridal party wrote me personal notes. All these things made my day even better. She made sure I wanted for nothing and took all the pressure off me to handle everything so I could enjoy my day. I am beyond greatful for her and all the help she gave me through the entire process. She was so warm and caring and didnt make me feel like an annoyance when I changed my mind a thousand times lol. She truly was the sweetest. Thank you isnt enough to show how appreciative I am for everything she has done. If you are unsure on whether or not to use a planner, trust me YOU WANT TO HIRE HER!!!

I’ve been to many weddings in my life except for my own. I knew what to expect. Millie exceeded my expectations with her professionalism, on time for everything, and at one point one of my guests called her “Houdini” because wherever there was and issue she would pop right up and resolve. Her crew was also very instrumental in assisting Millie. Very professional, great crew!

I found Millie about 3 months before my wedding as I was starting to get overwhelmed with details and had no idea how to do the day of schedule. It was easily one of the best decisions I made and I wish I had found & hired her sooner!!! She first helped us find a florist, which was the last major vendor we hadn’t booked. She was always early to meetings and wanted to make sure our vision was heard. When my Mom had a major accident a few weeks before the wedding, she was completely there for me and wanted to know what she could do to make everything easier. I absolutely would not have made it through the wedding day without her and her amazing team. They not only made sure my bridesmaids, my Mom, and I had a great & relaxing time getting ready, but they were ready to put out any fires. Millie and her team expertly navigated all the problems that arose from pinning an ill fitting pair of pants to dealing with a flower arrangement that shattered before the ceremony to driving guests to the venue when our shuttle was running behind. Millie completely saved the night when she got blood out of my wedding dress at the beginning of our reception. Someone must have hugged me without knowing they were bleeding & I panicked, but Millie was a total rock star. I highly recommend her services!!!! She will help you with her caring & supportive personality and make it easier to enjoy your big day!!!!! I can’t thank her and her team enough!!!

Millie Portes saved our wedding day!! I made and bought a lot of decor for our small wedding. I personally didn’t want any guests or family to help set up or break down these items. That’s when I discovered Millie Portes. Her and her team were truly amazing! The day would not have looked so good if it wasn’t for Millie!! I did not have to worry at all, they made our vision come to life. Millie is a true gem that you need for your wedding day! Professional and a true joy to work with!! Our best vendor by far!!

Our Rustic themed wedding was beyond perfect and completely planned for thanks to Millie Portes! She initially helped us plan a big wedding, but we had to downsize due to the current global pandemic caused by COVID19. Our anticipated guest list went from 165 guests to 13, but it was the most intimate breath-taking experience. She contacted all the vendors and renegotiated the deposits already in place, to fit the downsized details of the day, so there were no additional costs for us. She provided everyone with masks, made sure hand sanitizer was available, traveled 2hrs to the venue multiple times, set up, cleaned everything, and even provided creativity for social media content. She made sure we enjoyed our moment without worry. Millie always says, "I am ready to serve" and she was! She was more than our planner, she is God Sent, and I would have her plan any event I have in the future! We Can't sing your praises or thank you enough! God Bless You!

I wish I was exaggerating, but without Millie and team my wedding day would have been an absolute disaster. She not only went above and beyond pre-wedding planning and organizing vendors but on the weekend of made sure every little detail was in place so that I could relax and enjoy my special day. Her attentiveness, genuine consideration, and bright personality make her a joy to work with.
Whether its a difficult vendor, stubborn family member, or a last minute forgotten item. Millie always responded with a "consider it done". I knew I could lean on her for any task. I CANNOT thank her enough for how perfect she made my day and people cannot stop raving about how much fun they had and it was all mostly due to her.
I would highly recommend hiring Millie for your next event if you actually want to participate and enjoy it!

Millie was amazing! She thought of everything and made my wedding run smoothly. If there was any problems, Millie didn’t let me know. She made sure everything was taken care of so I could just enjoy my wedding day. Millie thought of things that I even forgot about. My mom lost her jewelry for the day of the wedding, so Millie went to the store and made sure she had jewelry to wear! Millie was 100 steps ahead of me and I wouldn’t of been able to have a relaxing and enjoyable wedding without her! If you want to just enjoy your day and have someone you can trust being by your side, hire Millie!!!
