Mostest

ven if it costs a bit more. The coordinators I ended up with were OK, but not very experienced and had poor communication. I would 10/10 recommend going with a coordinator who works with your venue. I used Something Borrowed Blooms (SBB) for my centerpieces and ceremony flowers, which is the only reason I ever considered or heard of Mostest. I chose Mostest for SBB setup/breakdown as well as day-of coordinator, as the latter was required by our venue. Initially, we booked a single service (combined setup/breakdown and day-of coordination for 10 hours--a service Mostest still advertised as of the date of our wedding but does not actually seem to provide). About six months out, Mostest contacted me and said we would need to hire a second hand for the setup/breakdown of SBB because we had an order size of more than 10 boxes (which, I note, is NOT a very large order and may involve no more than setting down arrangements on tables and stands). I agreed to this and paid them an additional $650. A couple weeks from my wedding, they then tried to force me to pay for ANOTHER $700 coordinator for the same reason of our order being over 10 boxes. When pointed out that we already paid for this, they told me the "day-of coordinator" (which had been originally booked as a combo coordinator/SBB setup service) would not be handling decor AT ALL (neither SBB nor our other light decor like guestbooks, signs, putting out candles, etc.). After extensive back and forth, Mostest gave me a day-of coordinator for 10 hours and a setup/breakdown coordinator. Both of these individuals felt set up to fail by Mostest and we were all incredibly stressed. We made it work, but this is the fault of the platform, not of the customer or the up-and-coming coordinators they are taking advantage of.

On the day of the wedding she ensured that everything flowed perfectly. Our venue was a blank space so she had to coordinate with many vendors and deliveries. Ella blew us away and our event went off with zero issues and even better than we could imagine. I'd recommend Ella and the mostest team to anyone that is looking for a organized, friendly, and down for anything planner!

fessional and such a delight to work with! Any worry or stressor that we had leading up to the day was always addressed and taken care of. Our meetings were always productive and fun which helped us enjoy the wedding planning process instead of dreading it. Do not hesitate in working with Mostest, especially if working with Valerie! She's amazing!

he set our timeline, helped us spot the must-dos that we'd missed, and coordinated with our vendors on our wedding day so we were able to enjoy it stress-free. A fantastic experience all around!

ut making sure everything looked just right — and Mostest made it even better than I imagined. Sophie was AMAZING. She was organized, calm, and kept our entire day running flawlessly. I could not recommend Mostest more!

ted off our shoulders. We felt like we had found someone who truly understood what we wanted. She was super responsive! Anything we sent her, at any time, she was ready to go! She did such an amazing job at bringing our vision to life, it was exactly what we had imagined, and honestly, even better. It felt like she reached into our heads and made it all real in the most beautiful way! She was so kind and brought genuine care and good vibes on the day. She had everything under control, and honestly, we never once felt like we overwhelmed her. If we did, she never let it show! If you're looking for a coordinator in the NYC area, go for Ella! She is amazing!

ht place at the venue. There were several details that were overlooked. In particular, I wanted our ceremony to take place in a particular spot but I realized after the ceremony that we were lined up in the wrong location. That ruined the photos I was hoping to get. So I don't really know what I paid for other than someone telling my family where to sit.

ith weekly calls, multiple meetings at the venue, and going above and beyond to do everything she could to make it perfect. And she was amazing on the day - we didn't have to worry about a thing and everything went according to plan. Not a single speed bump (at least that we knew of!) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ARIANNA. We are so lucky to have found you!

thoughtful, and proactive — asking us questions we didn’t even know I should be considering. We didn’t have a wedding planner, so handing off all the wedding details to Arianna in the weeks before was seamless. I trusted her completely, and she executed everything perfectly. On the day itself, everything ran smoothly without a single hitch. Knowing she was handling the timeline, vendors, and all the behind-the-scenes details let me and my partner be fully present and enjoy our celebration. Our wedding truly wouldn’t have been as effortless and joyful without her. I cannot recommend Arianna enough!

it possible for me to actually relax and enjoy my wedding day. Kailee brought our vision to life flawlessly, juggling countless moving pieces with ease and an incredible eye for detail. She had a confident, take-charge attitude when it came to coordinating with our vendors, making sure everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. Thanks to her, the day was stress-free, beautiful, and everything we dreamed of.

l for vendor pairing and she was a huge help throughout the planning and execution process, and also set us up with our amazing photographer and hair & makeup. I loved Ella and she was highly responsive throughout the 60 days. I don't know how I would have pulled together the timeline or coordinated with all the vendors in the weeks leading up and especially day of without her! We were also able to add on a junior coordinator for the day, Shaondel, who was a huge help in herding the guests and making sure everything went smoothly!

ne and led me through each step to fill in the gaps.  She was so attentive throughout the process, I never felt alone and knew I could always reach out to her with questions.  The day of, she ensured everything went smoothly, I did not have to think at all.  Anyone that works with Ella is in excellent hands.

reat hands. Valerie was organized, thorough, and executed every one of our details perfectly and with care. She knew how important is was that we could be present on our wedding day, and she totally took the pressure off of us. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and kept the day running smoothly - our guests even noticed how seamless the day was. Emily, our bridal attendant, was incredible—so attentive, kind, and calming. If you need a sign to hire an attendant - let this be it!!! Your coordinator/planner can't be everywhere at once, so that's where your attendant can step in. Emily was right by my side all day and I didn't need to ask for her assistance with things, she just knew exactly when to step in. And when she saw a sweet candid moment, she even took some behind the scenes content for me, which ended up being some of my favorite photos from the day. Both of them exceeded all our expectations. Their teamwork, professionalism, and genuine care made our wedding day stress-free and so magical. They made our day flow perfectly - there truly wasn't a single hiccup. I can't recommend them enough!

and made sure all the moving parts came together perfectly. Thanks to her, we were able to relax, stress less, and truly enjoy our wedding day. We can’t recommend her enough!

h final details&logistics and a main point person on the day of the wedding. The Mostest process is very straightforward and personalized. Our coordinator Cecilia Nelson was sweet, culturally responsive, and efficient throughout the whole process. We were able to fully be present, savoring and enjoying each moment of our special day, thanks to her and her team's support.

ad we did. From the first meeting, it was apparent that her experience and knowledge were needed to be sure we were making decisions wisely ahead of time and didn't need to worry on event day. She was there to take care of some of the details and was reassuring throughout the event. I recommend her without reservation!

ate to our next meeting, and said "oh you've done so much I don't think there's even anything I have to do" (when there was a lot to do still!). She was condescending and made me feel bad about my wedding after every meeting. So I told mostest and they immediately made it right and reassigned me to Kenna Reid. She. Was. Amazing. After every single meeting I would tell my husband "I love Kenna". She made me feel so confident about my wedding and that she knew the event just as much as I did. I cannot say enough amazing things about Kenna. My day went perfectly all thanks to her and the Jr day of Coordinator Adelaide! If you are in Seattle and hire mostest and see Kenna as an option PICK HER!! She was so organized and helpful and did so much (which truly proved that the original coordinator was just being lazy). If you do use mostest and you don't like who you're assigned to reach out EARLY and they will give you someone else!!!

as been an emergency. The only stress on our wedding day came from the coordinator not showing up. Why waste time and money on this terrible company who clearly does not care about any professionalism. Beware!!! Do not use Brittany C.

ncel just five days before the wedding, Jacklyn agreed to come onboard as our coordinator. During our meetings, we experienced her level of commitment, her clear passion for wedding planning (and weddings), experience, attention to detail, positive attitude, and kind, capable receptiveness to our questions and concerns. She was both rigorous and at ease in her approach, and the way in which she was able to comprehensively work through the event with us--to inform, solve, and improve, just mere days beforehand--was remarkable. In the days before the wedding, the time she took to closely, carefully, and thoughtfully work through the details of the event with us (moment by moment, vendor by vendor, movement by movement), gave us both a much, much clearer sense of the practical minutiae of the day, raised (solvable) issues we hadn't even noticed ourselves, and gave us a real sense of confidence knowing in she would be overseeing the day. She reached out to vendors, staff, and guests who had special roles at the wedding (performances, etc). On the day of the wedding, she was an unobtrusive, kind, steady presence helping to signal, guide, help, etc.all the moving pieces of the day. We saw how warm she was with our guests, how affable and capable she was with vendors and staff, and,in general, how effective she was at making things work. In turn, our feeling of having ourselves, our guests, and our day looked out for in this way allowed us to really be fully present at our wedding, without having to field issues or distractions, and without anxiety. We're both immensely thankful for her.

any vendors and made sure everyone was aligned, which made a huge difference in how smoothly the day went. There were a few unexpected time crunches on the day, but Ella stayed on top of it all, calmly steering the schedule and making it work. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and excellent communication made a potentially chaotic day feel manageable and even enjoyable.

nator Adelaide L, the same professionalism was shown to me and she was incredible to work with. Her energy, go-to attitude, and creative thinking led to some amazing designs of the wedding layout, flexibility in the schedule, ability to accommodate anything, and made sure that all of the many moving pieces got to the right place. She brought our vision to life, and our guests were raving about the wedding by the end of it.

interfaced with our church, venue, bridal party, and all of our guests to make sure everything went according to plan. Arianna is a joy to work with and everything you want around you on your wedding day: cheerful, excited, positive, and a calming presence. We recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple getting married in the NYC area.

, the event went smoothly and without a hitch. I wish I had her at every event of mine!

fortable on the day. Our venue had an emergency with the fire alarm which threw off our schedule, but Ella jumped into action right away and rearranged the timeline for our reception on the fly to put us back on track quickly. Outside of her great organizational and problem solving skills, Ella is very easy to talk to and she’s great with feedback. Her suggestions were on point and she was extremely patient and flexible with us throughout the entire process. Book Ella!

e bridal attendant was complimentary, which was an unexpected bonus that ended up being a total game changer. All three team members were incredible. Our bridal attendant, Staffie, was so thoughtful and attentive. She anticipated things I didn’t even realize I needed and made sure everyone in the room felt taken care of. She was calm, kind, and such a helpful presence throughout the day. 100% recommend her! Our junior coordinator, Maria, was also amazing. Since our ceremony was at a separate location from the reception, Mostest recommended having a junior coordinator so that our main coordinator could head to the venue and manage setup and vendors. It was the best decision. Maria stayed with us, kept everyone on track, communicated with both wedding parties, and helped us stick to our timeline. She even came to the hotel beforehand to make sure everything was running smoothly and it did! And finally, Michelle, our main coordinator, was an absolute superstar. From the very beginning, she made us feel like we were her only clients. She responded to questions quickly, helped us think through every detail, and offered thoughtful suggestions that made our day even better. On the wedding day itself, I was completely at ease knowing she was at the helm. Everything flowed so smoothly because of her. One thing that really stood out to me about Mostest is that they let you review bios of their team members and choose your top picks for each role. We ended up with our first choices across the board, and I can confidently say that each of them exceeded expectations. When I first spoke with the team at Mostest, I was told that “your wedding day is not our team’s first time or a day for them to learn.” That could not be more true. Michelle, Maria, and Staffie were complete professionals and total rockstars. I’m so, so glad we had them by our side.

he month before our wedding, and Michelle really helped us be able to relax during it by communicating with our vendors and getting so many details we didn't realize we needed. And day-of she went above and beyond, from helping us decorate with our DIY bud vases to keeping timing on track to helping us clean everything up at the end of the night. We probably don't even realize half the things she smoothed over for us on our wedding day because we didn't even have to think about them! We truly couldn't have done it without her - I'm very glad we decided to go with Mostest :)

g wonderful—setting up all of our decorations and flipping the room after the ceremony. I had brought the ring size zip ties for our split ceremony arch but she found a way to make it work. Everything was stunning and we trusted that our day was in good hands!

f mechanism of securing a planner and or coordinator for my event. To summarize where things fell flat, the company promotes their vetting process post deep dive discussions to which they will then present three (3) coordinators for you to ultimately select the coordinator you wish to work with; except this wasn’t my case. My coordinator was chosen for me and I was told this was due a system issue they were experiencing (the second of them all, the website continuously listed an incorrect wedding date). Upon this occurring I expressed my concerns and was met with them reassuring me the planner they selected on my behalf is more than capable of facilitating my event and advised that they were carefully selected and have several years of experience behind them. I met with the coordinator a few days after where they also assured me they have several years of experience and noted the various capacities to which they worked in the industry as a planner and recently acquired a planner certification to assist them in further sharpening their planning/coordinator skillset. The coordinator informed me they had coordinated anywhere between ~20-30 weddings per year. This prompted me to be and feel more comfortable with moving forward with the coordinator Mostest selected on my behalf. The coordinator was helpful with providing resources acquiring information, and completing most tasks post our interactions. We held a rehearsal the day before the wedding (she was 30 mins late), she was given a walkthrough of decoration placement with visual aid during the walk through. The day of the wedding the coordinator was given a binder containing a very thorough run-down of the placement of items (all of which was previously discussed/established), instructions of which items should be distributed to/amongst the vendors. To my surprise post my ceremony I found more than half the items were not arranged correctly if at all. I learned from other vendors that they took the lead in setting up, arranging details, in seeing how “overwhelmed” and “inexperienced” my coordinator was. Multiple vendors described her as being “very green” and “scattered” and upon checking in with the coordinator to share feedback (vendor to vendor) they were informed by the coordinator that “this is her first year of wedding planning”; you could imagine the shock this sent through me as this contradicts what the coordinator informed me during our initial meeting as well as what Mostest promotes which is coordinators/planners will have at minimum “2+ years” of experience. This all explained why my decorations were not setup, vendors not provided with their resources, bathroom basket was not placed in the restroom, my cake/dessert table was not setup, caterer/servers not provided with their resources, vendors having to lead themselves due to the lack of guidance and support from the coordinator; customized items including guests keepsakes, cake topper, customized bar napkins, drink toppers, tissue packets were not distributed so now I am left with these items that are non refundable and instead of them being apart of what was my wedding day and design efforts. While not all the missed details were obvious to guests, what was obvious was the lack of complete setup upon their arrival. Ceremony chairs were not put out, signs intended to direct guest post parking their car not placed in the designated areas as communicated. My ceremony start time was pushed back 30 mins unbeknownst to me due to us running late and this was not communicated until arrival.What sweetened the deal was the coordinator regurgitating next to me as she was to direct me to walk down the aisle. In communicating this to Mostest while apologetic seemed very combative and lacking accountability in any capacity. I have never worked with such a duplicitous group of people and couldn’t be more disappointed with a company. The coordinator went as far as relaying to another vendor after they informed her she needed help that “the company only assigned her” to my event and this is why she was there alone. This is what I am left with to remember from what was to be one of the most memorable days of my life.

ught to our attention so that the day went seamlessly. She was super helpful when coordinating amongst vendors on our behalf and also did a great job staging our ceremony rehearsal. We're so appreciative she took care of so much in order for us to be able to fully enjoy our day. Would highly recommend for those in the Dallas area!

ect match. Averee was assigned to our event just two months before the big day, and from our very first meeting, she jumped right in with confidence and care. We had weekly check-ins where we discussed my vision, finalized logistics, and walked through the rehearsal and wedding day itinerary. Averee kept everything organized and easy to follow, and not just for me, but for all of our vendors as well. On the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly. Of course, there were a few minor hiccups (as with any event), but thanks to Averee’s calm presence and attention to detail, the day was everything I hoped for. I’m so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone who’s professional, proactive, and genuinely kind.

htful, creative ideas that elevated our special day. From the beginning, Raven truly listened to our vision and concerns, and she came up with clear, personalized plans that helped ease our worries and matched our expectations perfectly. On the day of the wedding, we encountered a few unexpected vendor hiccups, but Raven handled everything with calm and creativity. She quickly found solutions, kept the day running smoothly, and allowed us to stay fully present and stress-free. Her grace under pressure and commitment to our timeline were invaluable. We’re deeply thankful for everything Raven did to bring our day to life. We would confidently recommend her to any of our closest friends and family—she’s an absolute gem.

and got a lot of things right. However, there were several major moments during and after the wedding that make us question our choice going with Mostest. When you hire the team for your wedding, you are trusting them to handle key aspects of the day so you can relinquish control and be present with your loved ones. Mostest is a good middle of the road option but left a lot to be desired. Here's what went right: Brittany did a great job making a day of timeline and kept us on schedule before and during the wedding. She took care of tips at the end of the night and helped carry gifts to our car at the end of the night. The weekly calls leading up to the wedding, which started six weeks out, were so helpful too. And she did a fantastic job of coordinating everything with the venue and the vendors leading up to the day. This was invaluable and the wedding wouldn’t have happened without her help. Here's what didn’t go right: A huge blunder was on our aisle walk out song. The DJ played the right song, but the wrong version. We’re not sure who this falls on, but we had spoken at length with the DJ and Brittany about how important music was to us, so for this snafu to happen at such a big moment was a massive bummer. Another hiccup was that we were assured by the venue that all liquor options would be available throughout the evening. And they were. BUT, after rounds of conversations about how much our families and friends love dirty martinis, we were disheartened to learn during cocktail hour that the venue didn’t have olive juice. This kind of feels like an embodiment of our main gripes with Mostest – dirty martinis were a small but very important thing to us, and we believed they’d be the people to make sure that was covered…but it wasn’t. The last, but biggest problem we had was with our cake. We were shocked to discover that a significant chunk of our family and friends (including the bride’s mom) didn’t get cake. When we asked Brittany why people didn’t receive cake, she said that we ran out. This was confusing because we had more than enough cake for everyone. The day following the wedding, Brittany texted us that some of the cake was discovered in the fridge. It wasn’t until we got to the venue that we discovered half the cake (as in 10 unopened boxes) was still in there and no one took it out during the wedding. She apologized for this and the other snafus, but we can’t get that time back. Did we get married and have fun? Yes, and that was the point of the evening. But we hired Mostest to cross the T’s and dot the I’s for a party that took over a year to plan, and that didn’t happen. It’s a good budget choice for your wedding, but if we were to do it again, we’d spend a little more and invest in a planner that’s there from the start.

d us to have at least a day-of coordinator, we started looking for recommendations, when we stumbled upon Mostest which had some promising reviews. We decided to go for the month-of coordinator since we really didn’t know what the hell we were doing, and were getting a little overwhelmed with the planning. Mostest matched us with Carly and after our first meeting, we could tell that we were in good hands. Her enthusiasm for weddings is what stood out right away, and we could tell that she really loves her work. Carly is super helpful, kind, and patient. Throughout the entire process, she made us feel comfortable and heard. She revealed so many blind spots in our planning process, gave us great suggestions, and kept us on task. On the day of our wedding, Carly took charge of coordinating with vendors and the venue and helped with setup and teardown. We never had to think about the schedule since Carly was there to cue each moment. The whole day felt effortless thanks to Carly and we are so happy that we had the opportunity to work with her.

efore our wedding, and she jumped right in, providing valuable insight and recommendations right off the bat. On the day of, she was a Godsend. She brought all our decorations to the venue, set everything up to perfection, ensured the night moved smoothly and on time, and packed us all up before she left. I had absolutely no worries all night because she was that good! I would 100% recommend a DOC for peace of mind and would 1000% recommend Mostest and Arianna!

ed Blooms, which we used for our florals, and absolutely loved! Allison was our month-of coordinator, and she did an incredible job keeping everything organized and running smoothly. She was highly responsive via email and text, which was invaluable during the stressful wedding planning process. I especially appreciated her expert opinions and feedback, drawn from her years of experience in the wedding industry. Her insight was truly invaluable, and I loved her design ideas for our florals and overall venue décor. Throughout the planning process, I had regular meetings with Allison to refine our vision and ensure everything was on track. She maintained detailed spreadsheets with all our wedding information and seamlessly coordinated with our vendors. I also appreciated her flexibility in adding extra meetings when needed, helping to ease my stress and anxiety. On the wedding day, Allison was calm, cool, and collected, making everything feel effortless. Thanks to her, our day was absolutely amazing. If you're planning a wedding in the Philadelphia area, I highly recommend working with Allison—she’s fantastic!

sign, book, pay for, and otherwise plan everything you see, hear, touch, and taste at a wedding. Music cues, coffee cups, guestbook pages, parking spots. With Sarah on our side, we had the collective bandwidth needed to tie up every loose end and fine detail, and put on an unforgettable party for our guests. We trusted her completely, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Here are some of the things Sarah did that let us know that she is a star: - Put us at ease throughout all our planning calls, and on the day, with her calming presence and positive spirit. Immediately picked up on the vibes we wanted at our wedding and helped to deliver them. - Quickly, compassionately handled a potential unwelcome-guest situation that arose 1 week out, including tweaking seating chart and placecards and alerting venue security in case the un-invited guest showed up. (Nothing happened, but we were prepared, and everyone was able to party through it.) - Helped us pull together a farewell brunch the morning after our wedding, on short notice and basically out of thin air. - Ran and got groom an aspirin when he had a little headache. - Danced onto the dancefloor with an urgent question for us - typed out on her phone (black background with white font so as not to blast anyone with light) so we could answer discreetly. - Wrangled Tita Flor during the family photo shoot. (A big job.) - Somehow stayed completely out of the way during our wedding, yet charmed the daylights out of anyone who encountered her. And shout out to everyone else at Mostest - the Planning Concierge team was very kind and responded quickly to any questions we had over 9 months of our initial planning process before we were set up with Sarah, who took it from there. We’re recommending Sarah and Mostest to every couple we know, including one who is working with her on their wedding this year. We will be so happy to see her again!

the lack of communication from the time of booking to the time of assigned planner. My mom and I were like, well I hope we didn't just get scammed because from the time of booking a year out from the wedding the platform rebranded from Gather to Mostest and I felt we got lost in that transition until I reached out to the company. Overall, the month of coordinator served the purpose of being a planner that picks up all the DIY planning/ organization from the bride. Its a good option for a VERY organized bride who can do all the planning and just needs a wedding decor oriented person to help with overseeing decor set up and the flow of events on the day of the wedding.

involved, great communication and willing to provide feedback, and she truly cared about her clients! I look forward to working with her again in the future!!

erself available to us as much as we needed. She was amazing to work with both in the final planning stages and on our wedding day, keeping us on schedule and helping out our other vendors wherever needed. We're so appreciative of all the hard work she put in and would 100% recommend!

ars, I would. We had a great experience and this made our wedding so enjoyable and stress free.

beyond smoothly and that's in large part to Ella! Also just a great person with a wonderful personality! Client was so happy! Highly Recommended!
