My name is Monique Cunningham. I have had the honor of working in the wedding industry for nearly 8 years now & have only recently found the courage to branch off as an independent wedding planner. From wedding ceremonies and receptions to engagement parties and rehearsal dinners, I have executed over 300 events & personally coordinated 75 weddings. Details, no matter how big or small, are bound to slip through the cracks and having a planner on-site can truly make all the difference. From our first meeting to the last song, my #1 priority is to allow you to enjoy every single moment!

It's genuinely hard to describe how incredibly valuable Monique was to our wedding experience. We really could not have done it without her. She was very easy to work with, always responded timely, and just made the whole wedding planning experience less overwhelming. Most importantly... it was clear she actually cared about us as people and we weren't just number (which is common in this industry). I would recommend Monique 100/100 times to anyone who is looking for a coordinator and/or planner. She is a rock star.

ute honor to celebrate with you & Jade and all of your family and friends! From your adorable flower girls & hilarious flower man with his fanny pack to you both ending the night behind the DJ booth, this wedding will live in my head rent free. 😂 I am so grateful to you both for taking a chance on me before my business even had a website. You were the first couple to book me independently & I am eternally grateful!

Where do I even begin? Monique was an absolute life-saver on our wedding day! From the very beginning, I wasn’t even sure if I needed a day-of coordinator, but looking back now, I can honestly say there is no way our day would have been as perfect without her.
She came to the rehearsal the night before, and I threw her right into the deep end – giving her materials to work with and asking her to decorate the head table. I was honestly nervous, but Monique completely exceeded all of my expectations! The head table looked beautiful—better than I could have imagined—and she did it all with such grace and ease.
Monique’s presence on the big day was everything. She was calm, collected, and so positive, always making sure that I was taken care of and ensuring everything went smoothly. She even fluffed my dress when needed (I didn’t even have to ask!) and had a drink ready for Jimmy and me, which was such a thoughtful touch. She went above and beyond, even having floss on hand for when I had something stuck in my teeth—talk about attention to detail!
One of the things I’ll cherish most is how Monique took behind-the-scenes videos throughout the day. She shared them with us the very next morning, and it was such a beautiful surprise to relive the moments we missed in real-time. Not only did we appreciate them, but our photographer and videographer also loved the content and were able to incorporate it into their work, making everything come to life in ways we never could have expected.
Monique didn’t do it all alone, though—she brought an assistant with her who literally ran to the store for me to get medicine when I wasn’t feeling well. They were back in 20 minutes—talk about speedy service! She literally had everything we needed and more.
Even though my husband was initially unsure about hiring a day-of coordinator, he is now just as thankful as I am. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing—Monique handled it all, including communicating with our vendors. I didn’t even receive a single email leading up to the wedding because she was handling everything behind the scenes, which allowed me to stay calm and stress-free. I cannot even begin to describe how much of a relief that was!
In short, Monique is an absolute must-have for your wedding day. If you're considering a day-of coordinator, do yourself a favor and hire Monique. We are so incredibly grateful for her, and our wedding day was the absolute best because of her. Thank you, Monique—you made our day unforgettable!

To say we were blown away by Unique by Monique Weddings is an understatement! If we could give her 100 stars we would!! From the very beginning, Monique went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for our vision truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives!
.
Walking into the venue (The Gage) and seeing our vision come together was nothing short of magical. She coordinated and communicated with our dream team of vendors, set up signage and decor beautifully, and ensured that we could focus on getting ready and truly being present with our family and friends.
.
Monique went above and beyond the week before our wedding as well. Nick was sick, and we had a lot of last-minute tasks left to complete. Monique picked up and folded all of our table and welcome signage, making sure everything was ready without even mentioning it! Her calm and organized approach made us feel completely at ease, even during the very few stressful moments. If anything little did go wrong that day, we were not aware of it; she handled everything flawlessly!
.
Not only was she efficient and on top of every detail, but she also brought a warm, personal touch to the entire process. We were pretty nervous about the prospect of wedding planning, and Monique consistently assured us that we were on track or ahead of schedule, checking in with us several times before the wedding.
.
Monique has an amazing ability to bring a calm, considerate, and uplifting presence wherever she is. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our day special, and we felt that throughout the entire process. She was also fantastic at coordinating our large families for pictures after the ceremony, ensuring that we could all stay on track and enjoy some of our cocktail hour!
.
Thanks to Monique, we were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day, knowing everything was in perfect hands. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will go the extra mile to make your day unforgettable, look no further. We are forever grateful for her dedication and support!

We had the BEST experience with Monique. We decided to hire her as our day-of coordinator about 2 months prior to our wedding because the stress of decorating the venue and keeping a timeline for the day was just too much for me. Monique SAVED US and helped create the best day of our lives! Her knowledge of the industry was so helpful with figuring out the small, last minute details when we met up about 6 weeks before the wedding. Her communication was great and she knew exactly what to do when we reached a bump in the road when it came to our rehearsal. She managed running our rehearsal and her ability to (patiently) corral our bridal party in order to remain on task was very impressive. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy the day and it is all thanks to Monique! You can tell that she loves what she does and she makes your day just as important to her as it is to you. Look no further, because Monique is your girl!

My heart is SO FULL ❤️ Thank you Kara! I was so happy to help you through the finish line ...
and I will never forget when I missed your dad thanking me during his toast. I was wondering why everyone was looking at me as I walked in with your card box and guest book from cocktail hour. The bartender filled me in afterwards, but it was so nice to get acknowledged. Your wedding was truly a highlight of my summer!

There are not words to describe the relief we felt after hiring Monique as our day of coordinator. She not only helped run our big day seamlessly, but the communication and coordination leading up to our wedding put any stresses we had out of mind. We had multiple calls prior to day of to ensure all vendors were working on the same timeline and to make sure she had a grasp on what our vision was, and she did not disappoint. We literally showed up to our dream wedding without having to lift a finger or worry about any behind the scenes details. She is absolutely lovely to work with and we cannot say enough great things about her! Thank you so much for making our day one that we enjoyed to the fullest and will never forget!!

Monique is incredibly detailed and ensures you have a stress free wedding day. When she was our venue coordinator we really appreciated how she went the extra mile. Even with the instructions we left for some of our decor, she made great decisions for placement on our behalf, and communicated with all our vendors, ensuring our wedding went exactly how we planned for. Monique is keen on detail planning and is very organized when it comes to execution. As an event planner myself I found it extremely easy to work with her, like a partner in planning one of the biggest days in our lives. We’re grateful!
