Mama E is the best! She made our day run smoothly and we loved her decor set up! Thanks Mama E!

My husband and I hired MPWA to do our wedding planning and day-of coordination. We also did an Administrative add-on to have them do the majority of our outreach and scheduling and handle some of the administrative tasks during the initial stages of interviewing vendors and collecting quotes. We had such an amazing time working with Ernestine that we also hired her to coordinate our wedding brunch for the day-after the wedding! Ernestine aka Mama E was hands down - INCREDIBLE. We met with several planners and after we met with her we knew we had to book her - she immediately put us at ease. She will call you out and push back when she needs to, and she'll be direct and honest with you about her opinions and the options you have. She was paramount in making the day go so smoothly - and she kept me sane during the absolute nightmare that is wedding planning during Covid. She handled so many awkward conversations with vendors, helped to divulge feedback, and took care of basically all of our vendor research, outreach, estimate collections, etc. Wedding planning was stressful enough as it is WITH a wedding planner, I literally cannot imagine going through this without Mama E. If you are wondering whether or not it's worth the added expense to hire a wedding planner let me promise you - yes, yes it is. Ernestine was incredibly responsive, there was never a topic too big or too small to cover with her, and she was always honest about her opinion. She really puts so much time, energy, and effort into making the day go smoothly. She made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do to prepare for the day of, what I needed to bring, and walked us through what to expect. She handled all of my vendors, the timeline, and payouts and made sure the day ran smoothly; she set up all the decor, and had an entire inventory to choose from. I am the ultimate bridal nightmare when it comes to colors, decor, etc. because I work in the design field so I'm incredibly picky and when I tell you she has the patience of a saint, it is no joke because I am obnoxious about details. She really helped to balance me out and remind me when I needed to relax on certain details, stay realistic about my expectations depending on my budget for certain areas of the wedding, and helped to pull me out of the weeds to see the big picture when I would get anxious or overthink the details. Even with all of the preparation, phone calls, emails, zoom meetings, etc. beforehand, the day-of is really where Ernestine shines. She's quick on her feet, takes charge of a group, and keeps everyone organized and moving. If there were ever any hitches or issues during the day-of I was completely none the wiser. She handled everything smoothly, confidently, and with so much ease. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything Mama E! I cannot say enough great things. We love and appreciate you!

Anybody getting married in the Seattle/Tacoma area should hire MWPA! We got married at my husband's family's farm on Vashon Island this past July while living in the SF Bay Area. Having Ernestine as part of our planning team was crucial in reducing the overall stress of both of us and our families as we planned a wedding from far away and during the pandemic. Ernestine was also our same day coordinator, which was critical in making the day go smoothly! She gave us great recommendations for almost all the vendors, put up beautiful decorations on the farm, and kept all the contracts and dates extremely organized. I hardly felt stress during the entire planning experience! We were mainly just looking forward to how fun and amazing the day was going to be. Some of the best vendor recommendations she gave were for the music - we had both a live band for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and a DJ for after dinner. Both were vendors she had worked with before and both were incredible. We also had a great time in the weeks leading up to the wedding doing zoom planning calls with both of our moms. I felt like this experience was really valuable in allowing our moms to get to know each other better, and getting everyone to be and feel involved. I would definitely recommend MWPA to anyone who's looking for a planner!
