The best planner ever!!

I truly do not know what I would’ve done without Lydia during my wedding and planning process! We were so insanely blown away by her professionalism, thoroughness, and organization. On my wedding day, Lydia arrived right as they opened and helped set up the venue just as I wanted it. She knew the entire plan top to bottom, and made the day go so much more smoothly. There were so many things that went wrong, but I as the bride never found out because Lydia had everything handled for me! She was my contact person for my vendors and was so great at fielding all questions and concerns. She is so incredible at her job, she allowed me to sit back and relax on my wedding day and be able to just attend my wedding instead of direct it! I will always remember how I felt on my wedding day, and Lydia allowed me to feel relaxed and able to take the entire day in without stress. I will recommend her over and over again, and so many of my friends and family have asked for her information after seeing her work. She was seriously the best planner, and we were so lucky to have her. Our wedding was so much better because of the hours of work and planning that she helped put into it. We will never be able to thank her enough!!

Lydia is the most professional and fun coordinator you could have!

Lydia and I met to discuss what exactly I would need on the day of my wedding. She took detailed notes and made sure that vision became a reality. She helped me stay on time and organized throughout the day, and made sure I had a little fun too! While I’m sure she had many other clients at the time, I felt like she was attentive to my questions and she made me feel like I was the highest priority every time we spoke. She will take care to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch!

Great wedding planning for Mackenzie James Weddings and Events LLC


I chose Lydia for wedding day management.
Lydia was amazing, I would recommend her to any upcoming bride.
She is beyond helpful, she has a lot of experience and helped me fill in the gaps during the final months of planning. She also took a lot of the weight and stress off my contacting all my vendors, and letting them know of all the logistics of the wedding day. She is also extremely organized and the way she organized and presented the information was very helpful and straightforward.
The only feedback is she is very Type A, my wedding party thought they were being bossed around a lot. I would just recommend her to be a little more fluffy. Other than that, Everything went smoothly during the wedding day, we had no big hiccups or delays.
Lydia will take the reigns, so you can enjoy and have a beautiful day!
