MOOI weddings

with our wedding at Stern Grove in San Francisco on October 15th, 2022. My partner and I were very nervous about pulling off a wedding and we literally could not have done it without Saskia and her team. Stern Grove has a lot of particulars that Saskia is very familiar with which we wouldn't have been able to understand or navigate without her. We went for the Full Design package as well as Month of Coordination and it was sooooo worth it! Our wedding was totally our style, and Saskia was so helpful in both honoring our vision and giving great advice. She helped us navigate many different vendors and helped us save so much money by working with her community and connections! Need a bartender? She's got it! Need a designer? She's got it! Need a super cute bohemian couch situation? She's got it!! Throughout the entire planning process when we felt stressed out about something, my partner and I could send Saskia a quick text or have a phone call and she would help us make the right decisions. Leading up to the wedding and the day itself, I had full trust in MOOI so I could truly relax and enjoy this big day!! Look no further for an amazing wedding coordinator and her team. You won't be disappointed!

dinner and day-after picnic. We had to change our wedding venue with 29 days to go due to the infamous flooding at Stern Grove. Saskia stepped up, and was amazingly supportive in helping us find our new ceremony and reception site. She was there with us, and was truly empathetic as we navigated what could have been a disastrous situation. The day of the wedding went smoothly despite all of the re-planning, thanks mostly to her and her team. This all shows how caring and adaptable the Mooi team are! The rehearsal dinner and picnic also went off without a hitch. Saskia's eye for design and attention to detail were really on display for those two events. Overall, we loved working with Saskia and the entire Mooi team, and could not recommend them highly enough for all of your wedding/event planning needs!

ugust 2021 wedding. Enter the incomparable Maya Hann-Bird: from the first moment we met her, she was on it. She radiates calm and competence and is an absolute badass at getting stuff done. When we had to make some major last minute adjustments to the reception concept in order to stay in line with evolving COVID regulations, she nailed it. When, on the Wednesday before the wedding, our venue warned us they may cancel on us—she stayed calm and made sure the wedding happened. 1000 stars out of 10, we can’t possibly recommend her more highly.

hat went more like 90!), her warmth and curiosity and passion for this work were clear - it was a no-brainer to hire her. (Bear in mind, this was in January of 2020, when we had no idea of all the craziness that was to come!) Yes, she helped us when we decided to reschedule due to COVID, but honestly, she helped us at every step of the way, even those I would have thought I had covered. I consider myself very detail-oriented, but she asked questions and raised suggestions I never even *thought* of (we wanted a family-style meal - but were the rectangular tables actually wide enough to hold platters of food without getting in people's way? as it turns out, no!). And she came up with so many great ideas for the craft party (highly recommend that add-on!) and really helped me bring our visions to life. We'd attended a wedding once with personalized notes in each escort card, and we really wanted to do that, but just assumed they'd be resting on tables - she and her wonderful day-of assistant, Melissa, somehow managed to display them in the most stunning way by spraying hula hoops gold and hanging them from velvet ribbon. Who thinks like that?! Saskia and MOOI. If I shared every amazing thing, it would take all day. Suffice it to say, Saskia is the greatest. You'd be lucky to get to work with her!

Once to the pandemic, the second time 10 days before our wedding due to a flood at Stern Grove. The city had reserved us space at a new venue that did not work with everything we had planned for the last 2 years. Saskia jumped in to save the day, talked with the head of Parks and Rec for SF, and was able to find us a beautiful unknown gem in the city, Sunnyside Conservatory, that they were not going to let us book initially. Saskia made it happen! As for vision, planning, assisting my wife and I every step of the way, we could not have asked for a better group to work with. I know they had multiple weddings impacted due to the floods, and we felt like the only wedding they had. :-) Special shoutout to Hannah for helping us orchestrate the day-of logistics - nothing but rave reviews from the entire wedding on the venue, decorations, flow, and the people.

and controlled demeanor (even when things seemed stressful for everyone else), and a genuine love to serve and make people happy! I have photographed weddings for 15 years and have come across my fair share of fellow wedding professionals. I can honestly say there are really only a handful who I would work with time and time again. It is the ones who enjoy their job, who are excellent at their craft, and truly love to create a beautiful experience for the couple and their loved ones. Couldn't recommend enough!

She had a list of vendors ready to share with us and worked and communicated amazingly with the ones we found. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Saskia went above and beyond. She set up a grading board for us, arranged flowers for us in vases that we rented directly from her and even went out during the reception to get me emergency allergy medications. She is amazing and her team was fantastic.

ve and beyond to offer extra services and advice leading up to the big day. On the day of our reception, the MOOI team made sure everything was in order and running smoothly so we wouldn't have to worry about anything. With their help, we were able to fully focus on our friends and family and made it a night to remember!

ther for our big day. It was nice to just let go the last month and trust that everything was getting coordinated and done. She’s a good communicator and is very organized, and it allowed me to just relax and enjoy the weeks leading up to the event as well as the big day. That’s the best part! My husband and I always talk about how nice to was to just enjoy our day — not once did we have to worry or address any issues, we just got to enjoy our friends and family. If I was going to get married again (I hope I don’t! haha), I would work with her again!

eam had everything taken care of. Would recommend her to any bride anywhere anytime xoxo

every turn. Though I am an organized, detail-oriented person I had NO IDEA what a Herculean effort it would be to execute a 285-person dream wedding without her and her team's help. It is invaluable to have someone who understands what is necessary and has worked in the wedding industry to help you navigate the many elements necessary to stay sane and within your budget! We had 14 months to plan a wedding 2 1/2 hours away and at every turn she was there...asking questions I wouldn't know to ask, offering other cost-effective alternatives if I was nervous about a quote, walking the property with us so she could visualize the day and be the intermediary so we could relax and enjoy the day with virtually no worries. We chose to use Saskia's "full-design" option and it is worth EVERY penny! She created an amazing vision board presentation that took every element the bride and groom were hoping to experience. She connected us with other professional, affordable and reliable vendors and was such a calming, yet bad-ass advocate when we needed her as the to-do list started ramping up in the days before. She even brought to life my daughter's dream for a tequila specialty bar that was so creative and fun! I have told everyone about her and am sure she will get even more business from the guests who attended and were blown away by such a perfectly executed event! She is a first class, wedding-executing super hero!!
