    Would not recommend

    I would recommend all of my vendors except Mostly Becky to any other bride. If you want a transparently-priced planning process and a smooth, well-coordinated wedding day, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. While my wedding looked beautiful from their design services, the logistics were an absolute disaster and showed very little care or thought.

    Fantastic Wedding Planning and Design

    My wife and I hired Mostly Becky to do planning and design for our wedding in Des Moines, Iowa. We both had recently moved to Des Moines from Chicago, so we had about 200 guests coming from out of town and wanted to ensure that we had a magical wedding for them to attend. Mostly Becky delivered. Mostly Becky's professional team met with us at every step in the process. My wife had a strong vision of what she wanted the wedding to be like, the vibes, and many of the specifics. They were able to make our dreams a reality. I cannot imagine a more professional, competent, and reassuring group to make the stress of wedding planning go...

    Perfect level of support

    My husband and I opted for the day-of coordinator package, and it ended up being perfect for us. Even though we were very organized, Amanda helped get us over the finish line the month before, and the day-of Amanda and Juliet really shined. Juliet also attended and ran our rehearsal, which was very nice since we had a friend as our officiant. Together, Amanda and Juliet really helped our day go smoothly. We only had a Maid of Honor and Best Man, so it was even more important to us to have help so they could enjoy the day. It was wonderful having the Mostly Becky team there to work with the vendors and do random things that I’m...

    Lifesavers

    Mostly Becky's team made our wedding day feel more like a party we got to attend rather than a party we had to manage! We were lucky to be paired with Amanda and Juliet for day-of-coordinating , and they were such an important part of our day. From coordinating with vendors ahead of time to Amanda literally letting me stand on her jacket to avoid getting my dress wet from the rain soaked pavement, we as a couple, family, and friends were all taken care of so well.

    Day of Coordination

    The Mostly Becky team was excellent. I hired them for the day of service and worked with Amanda. I appreciated that they went over the timeline with me and allowed me to give feedback for my wants. Also, they took the lead on contacting my vendors with it, which I so appreciated it.

    On the wedding day I knew they were there but they weren't hovering over me the entire time.

    The following day I mentioned to my mom that I don't even know if anything went wrong or if there were any hiccups with setup, vendors, workers, etc and that's kind of the point of having them. Maybe everything went totally fine, maybe it...

    Event/Day of Coordinator

    We had the joy of working with Amanda from the Mostly Becky Team and by the start of my wedding day I felt like we were best friends. She was prepared for all calls leading up to the wedding and would respond right away to emails. I would 1000% recommend hiring Mostly Becky for your wedding. Amanda literally ran across a hay field next to the venue to ask the farmer to stop while we had our ceremony. She calmed nervous and gave hugs. She was the best and everyone in our wedding party was impressed with her. Everyone knew who she was, she was the real boss! THANK YOU AMANDA!!

    12/10 recommend


    If you gave me an ultimatum... to re-do my wedding day without my husband or to re-do my wedding day without Kari... I would think long and hard before I Google "Iowa annullment."

    All jokes aside, I truly cannot imagine my wedding weekend without the help of Kari and her team. Throughout the planning process and the weekend itself, she had an answer to every question or request and that answer was more often than not "it's already taken care of." They were so responsive from the beginning, helping me choose the custom package that fit my needs from their unique ala-carte style packages (why pay for a full planning package with calligraphy if you don't need...

    Would work with her again in a heartbeat

    We loved getting to work with Becky at one of our Florida weddings!! She was great to communicate with leading up to the day and was just as wonderful the day of. She kept everything running smoothly and was quick to answer any questions we had so photos and video could also run smoothly. She and her team are the full package and we'd highly recommend her!

    Kari was a complete godsend!

    I cannot get over how incredibly attentive, comforting, and organized Kari was for me. My husband and I felt COMPLETELY taken care of during the whole process and day of and can’t recommend the Mostly Becky team enough!

    The BEST wedding planner!!

    Where do I begin? I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner because it is hard for me to let go of control and trust someone else to plan...especially relating to my WEDDING. I am am so happy to say that all of my hesitancy went away right when I began working with Mostly Becky!

    Kari was my day of wedding planner and she was AMAZING. She got involved in the planning process approximately 1-2 months before the wedding day. Right from the beginning, she was kind and friendly and so extremely helpful. Fast forward to my wedding day and Kari was my right hand girl. She was there for my every need, constantly reminding me that it...

    Mostly Becky Weddings & Events's reply:

    Kari is one-of-a-kind and we are so blessed to have had her on our team for so many years!

    Thoroughly Impressed

    I was able to get last minute help from Becky. I needed someone to do my makeup and hair after an unexpected cancellation. In such a timely fashion, Becky was able to secure both services with incredible local artists. Not only was she timely but she also took care of all communication, correlation of schedules, and any potential headache that ensued as a bride. I SO appreciated her and highly recommend to all brides.

    Becky Saves the Day!!

    From start to finish, I felt like I was in great hands. I worked with both Kari and Becky. Kari was so thorough and so fun to work with! We went over an amazingly thorough list and she thought of so many things and small details I would’ve forgotten. They’ve done so many weddings that they had such valuable and useful advice. I feel having Becky and her team alongside me during my wedding allowed me to be more a little bit more relaxed, more present in the moment, and really made it easier for me enjoy the day.

    I wasn’t sure if I wanted to book a day of coordinator, and made a decision towards the...

    Wedding planner

    Becky and her team were the absolute BEST! Becky answered my questions at all hours of the day and night and took away all the stress of wedding planning, so I could just enjoy the process! I even had people commenting on how relaxed I seemed in the weeks leading up to the wedding and I would tell them I am, thanks to Becky! Becky really listened to our ideas, thoughts and concerns, and made our vision come to life. Every detail was perfect. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t have done it without Becky and her team.

    Your Fairy God Mother

    I cannot say enough nice things about Becky! She is a consummate professional and she takes the time to see everything through from start to polished finish. I was a little worried about the cost of a wedding planner but Becky was worth every cent and so much more!

    Like most women, I had a very specific vision of what I wanted my wedding to be (and like most women my wedding has been planned in my head since I was five years old). Becky looked at my dream Pinterest boards and made it into a logistical reality. I didn’t have to worry about a thing with Becky, she consulted me on what I wanted and double checked...

    Wedding Coordinator + Styling

    “Wedding Planner” truly does not even begin to entail all the Becky is and does!! She is truly amazing and every brides best friend!! I felt her genuineness from the moment I met her. Becky was amazing from the very beginning! Every spur of the moment idea of mine was made reality within minutes by Becky! She took my dreams and made them art for my wedding day, even more so than I had imagined. She was also an absolute pleasure to have on the day. She naturally commanded the attention of everyone when needed, but was a also a reassuring friend to me, the wedding party, and the family. From moving vases and lanterns and preparing candles for...

    Knowledgeable and helpful

    Given how organized I am, I found myself questioning if working with a wedding planner was really worth it. The answer for us was absolutely YES. 90% of our guests came from out of state, so we did not have a lot of people locally to rely on for help; that, combined with all of the changes necessary in times of COVID, and it was really valuable to us to have a whole TEAM on top of it. I had some concerns about working pre-event with Becky, having another staff present for our rehearsal, and then 2 other staff there for the event, but they were ON IT and AMAZING. I was truly blown away by the clear abundance...

    Flawless wedding day!

    Weddings are stressful...or at least so we heard. When the wedding day came around we were able to focus completely on enjoying our special day because we KNEW Mostly Becky had the details covered! Their team went over and above our expectations even after working with us to reschedule our entire day due to COVID. If you want to sit back and relax on your wedding day and just be able to be in the moment with your friends, family, and significant other then Mostly Becky are your people!

    Felt like Friends

    I had Kari Crisman with MostlyBecky, and absolutely loved her. With the pandemic going on, there were a lot of different things we had to worry about. She did an awesome job of letting me know what we could and could not do (and why) when it came to decorations. She would check with the venue on things if she wasn't 100% sure, to me that is huge that she checked before just making the call on things. She did a great job contacting me when she needed something, and I never felt annoyed or bothered by her when we needed to get in touch.
    When it came to the day of there were a couple other girls, as...
