ibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. Bridget made sure to introduce herself to my husband and I, as well as the entire wedding party, to ensure everyone felt comfortable and knew who she was on the big day. This attention to detail and personalized touch carried through to the wedding day, where Bridget worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. They even had a special plate of appetizers and our signature cocktails waiting for us in the bridal suite during our private vow reading, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. The quality of their work and value they provided was unmatched! We are so grateful to Bridget and Sydney for making our wedding day the perfect celebration we had dreamed of.

Throughout the planning process, Sydney was responsive, professional, and always eager to help. Her attention to detail and kind, thoughtful nature made such a difference—she even sent us Christmas cookies last year, which was such a sweet and personal touch!
If you’re looking for a planner who is not only on top of her game but also genuinely cares about her clients, I can’t recommend Sydney enough. She helped make our wedding everything we hoped it would be.

One of our favorite things was how unique and gorgeous all the signage and invitations were. She has an incredible eye for design, and every detail felt so personalized and special.
We will definitely be hiring her for all our future events. If you're looking for someone to bring your vision to life and make your day absolutely perfect, hire Event Buddee!!

xecuted them flawlessly. She fought for what the bride and groom wanted when things didn't go our way. She created a timeline for us and kept us on track throughout the day. She set up all of our decorations, took them down, and loaded them away in the proper vehicles. Sydney checked in on us regularly. We could simply send her a text with what was on our mind as we got closer and closer to the main event. She developed a relationship with the bride, the groom, and any parents that wanted to be involved in the 1-2 months that we really worked with her. She was wonderful. We are very glad that we had her and would highly recommend her to a friend.

She made sure things were where they should be and people were where they were supposed to be.

I could go on and on how amazing she is and how she made our day go so smooth.

go, but were planning a Minneapolis wedding so we really needed help with the planning. Sydney did EVERYTHING! She designed our invitations, save the dates, place cards, found venues, found vendors, decorated everything, ran our rehearsal, budgeted, dealt with day-of crises, helped clean up, and was professional, fun, and kind. I cannot stress how much I owe to Sydney. Every single one of my bridesmaids and even some groomsmen commented on how amazing she was. I have bridesmaids who said they wish they had her for their weddings and ones that said they are hiring her when they do get married. Sydney answered my every question in a timely manner, was willing to chat whenever I needed, and was literally the only reason this wedding happened at all. She has an impeccable design eye and is able to deal with stress while maintaining a sunny disposition. If you want your wedding to go off without a hitch and actually enjoy the planning process, hiring My Event Buddee is a NEED.

Sydney coordinated my bridal shower, wedding welcome party and wedding, and designed all of our printed materials for each of these events including signage, invites, programs, and...
more. Sydney completely understood my vision for each of these events and executed them 1000x better than I could have imagined. Her attention to detail is amazing and she thinks about every detail that I never would have thought of. As the bride you don’t want to have to worry about logistical details on your wedding day like where vendors are, what needs to be set up, timeline details, etc. Sydney relieved so much stress by handling all of these details behind the scene so I could show up to all of these events and just enjoy myself. She is easy to reach, responsive, and had answers for all of our questions throughout this whole process.
We truly can’t thank Sydney enough for everything she did to make our wedding perfect, she is absolutely someone you want on your team for your wedding or any life event!!!

en without her. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Sydney to review the details of the day, what we were envisioning for the look and feel of our day, she helped develop our timeline (her timeline tool is AMAZING), and she brought up questions/thoughts on things that we hadn’t thought of or things that she suggests we do to help the day run better and the experience be more enjoyable for guests. The number of guest/family members, or even outside vendors at our wedding that took notice of all she did to make the day perfect, was mind boggling. Not only did she attend our rehearsal the day prior, she completely stepped up and helped our church with coordinating the rehearsal as well. This greatly improved the smoothness of the ceremony for not only the Bride and Groom, but for the church and the entire wedding party! Multiple vendors made it a point to compliment Sydney to me. With Sydney in charge there was no doubt in my mind that everything would go how it was supposed to, and that it did! We had the best wedding day we could have imagined. The reception space was setup perfectly, she took care of all the communication with the staff at our venue and outside vendors, and she did this all with a small on her face and in a calm manner. If she was stressed or worried about something, I never would’ve known. 😊 Everything was setup perfectly, she took special care for not only the bride and groom, but the entire wedding party and families. The day went just as we dreamed, all thanks to Sydney. Sydney is the absolute best. I would hire her over and over again. The BEST decision we made was to hire Sydney – I will forever be thankful for all that Sydney did for us leading up to our wedding, and the day of.

Where to even begin? Sydney was the invisible glue that kept everything moving smoothly! After unforeseen family health concerns, we pushed our wedding up a full year. That left us...
with four months to pull off the wedding of our dreams. Thanks to Sydney, we were able to do just that! It was absolutely perfect. She took care of everything, eased our stress, and helped us decide on things we hadn’t even thought about. She also did design work for us. Our invites were absolutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments on them. Everything about our wedding - from planning to executing - was with the help of Sydney. When our wedding day came, we were able to sit back and relax knowing it was in her hands. Because of that, we were able to truly soak in every special moment.
Sydney was my event buddee and she should be yours too!
