    Incredible!

    Yessenia was an absolute dream come true! She was our "closing" planner on our wedding day and helped to make sure that everything post-ceremony went off without a hitch. Between releasing our guest tables for the buffet line to neatly packing and organizing all of our event decor for pickup the next day, our special day would not have been complete without Yessenia. Her warm smile and calm demeanor gave me absolute trust so that I could dance the night away instead of worrying about logistics. Thank you Yessenia!!

    Yessenia is AMAZING!

    To summarize how amazing Gold Mine Events was throughout our wedding planning and wedding day is going to be difficult because words can’t even describe how thankful I am for Yessenia. I was one of those brides that thought I wouldn’t need any assistance for my wedding … after meeting Yessenia, I knew I needed her! What a kind, sweet soul Yessi is. She went above and beyond for us on our wedding day!! She was always there when it was overwhelming, making sure I was ok. Yessenia is detail-oriented, flexible, organized and personable. She made my wedding day so effortless, I literally did not have to worry about a single thing. By far, Gold Mine Events was the best decision we made for our wedding!

    Yessenia is the BEST

    Hiring Yessenia Mina was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Trust me, hire her right away! Yessenia was there to guide us through the planning process, connected us with other wonderful vendors, and was there for every detail on the day of the wedding. I am pretty sure she is a mind reader too… At one point during the wedding night, I wanted to change shoes from my heels to my comfortable shoes. I stepped out of the ballroom and, without me asking , she brought me my comfortable shoes! I would not have been able to survive the wedding planning process and the wedding day without Yessenia. She was the fun, kind, calm, and friendly face that we needed. She helped with decorations and made the decisions that I did not want to make. Her number one priority was for us (the couple) to have a wonderful and stress-free day. I plan to hire her for all future events & parties that we host. Thank you so much, Yessenia! Can’t wait to work with you again!

    Dream Team

    Yessenia was a huge blessing in our wedding. When we went over the details for our event she brought up things I hadnt even thought of. She made sure to make my vision come true with setting up for the reception and making sure I was calm all through the day. Im used to always being in charge and making sure everything goes smoothly but for one night I got to take a backseat. All my guests couldnt stop talking about what a perfect night it was. If it wasnt for her, I doubt the outcome wouldve been the same. Do yourself a favor and hire Yessenia to have an incredible wedding!

    Gold Star!

    Yessenia at Gold Mine was absolutely spectacular. I knew that having a day-of coordinator was integral for me to take some stress off on the big day.

    We connected initially on our first call and further when we sat down to discuss all the intricacies of the big day. I greatly appreciated how she worked with us on redesigning our timeline to best fit us and our preferences.

    Yessenia kept the bridal part in tact, my family happy and packed the most wonderful emergency kit for the group. She was so helpful in making sure that everything ran smoothly!

    If anything went wrong that day I didn't know, she took care of everything! Really appreciated her keeping us on track (and ahead at a few points) and making us feel totally relaxed so that we could enjoy the time with our families, friends and each other.

    Thank you!

She was joyful and exciteted. Yessenia Mina was profession, attentive and addressed all our needs promptly. Our event was magical!

    I had previously seen pictures of Gold Mine Event's work, and off the bat I knew I was interested in hiring Yessenia as my wedding planner. After our initial meeting, I was sold! Yessenia is a very warm individual who truly cares about her client's experience, and she made it her sole purpose to concoct the wedding of my dreams and I couldn't be more thankful. She understood my vision, and created my ideal wedding all within my budget. Throughout the planning process Yessenia was always available to help, offer suggestions, and act as a liaison between the my now husband and I and our vendors. It was a comfort to know that Yessenia was there on the day of our wedding to make sure that everything went smoothly despite a couple minor hiccups (people unexpectedly bringing dates). Yessenia made the wedding planning process and the day of fun, and most of all, stress free!

    Gold Mine Events's reply:

    Hana, you have no idea how wonderful it was to work with you and Jimmy. I am happy to have worked with you guys and even happier that you guys are were completely satisfied.
    Love ya'll!

    Yessenia was so responsive, thoughtful, and creative. She is a calming presence on a hectic day, and really went above and beyond to make sure things got done. We are so glad to have gotten to work with Yessenia for our wedding and I highly recommend her for any major events.

    I obtained Gold Mine Event Coordinator, Yessenia Mina as my day of coordinator. She is truly the best! The day of my wedding went absolutely smoothly, thanks to her and her assistant. She made me feel reassured that she would handle any issues if they had arise. She took care of all the minor details that I was not able to. She communicated well and made me feel at ease and relaxed the whole day. She made sure the groom and I were relaxed and enjoying our day. The day definitely went great thanks to her hard work! I will recommend her to any one who is planning a wedding.

    From day one; all the way through the final day, Gold Mine Events was on point with all the details, and my wife and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for someone who is willing to go the extra mile to make you happy and is dedicated to their profession - she is definitely the one you should be calling! Thank you soooooo much Yessenia!

    I'd never considered hiring a wedding planner, I always pictured doing all the planning myself but when my husband and I got engaged, Yessenia was highly recommended by a friend. When we contacted Yessenia to set up a meeting, we still weren't sure we wanted to hire a wedding planner but when we met her, we knew we had to have her! During the planning process, Yessenia maintained great communication, very responsive, and was always ready to go above and beyond what was asked of her. Yessenia always made us feel at ease with the process. I'll never forget, during one of the most stressful parts of the planning with one of our vendors when she noticed how concerned we were, she said to me, "You don't stress, it's my job to worry about this for you. Just leave it to me." I don't think she knew just how comforting it was to hear that reassurance in that moment. After planning with her for a year and getting to know how reliable and trustworthy she is, I had no doubt she would run the day of successfully but she really impressed us! She made sure everything ran smoothly, always thinking ahead, she communicated well with everyone (guests, vendors, family), and made sure my husband and I had nothing to worry about except to enjoy our day. There were many times during the planning, and day of especially, that I thought to myself, 'we couldn't have done it the way we did without her.' Yessenia is amazing, both on a professional and personal level! I especially appreciated her attention to detail, her honesty, and her passion for what she does. She planned and treated this wedding as if it were her own. I'd recommend her over and over again.

    This review has taken me a while to write. Turns out the good reviews don't come as easy as you'd think. Where to start?!?! I hired Yessenia for "Day of" services, and she provided everything but! Always available for my inquiries, and handled my panicky moments with such calming grace. Her suggestions throughout the wedding planning process brought my vision together and she kept me true to that vision by not allowing me to become lost in the many options available for a bride to be. Her "Day Of" services went beyond expectations. From her popping in at the very first step (hair and makeup) to being the last one standing after the reception, she made sure we had nothing to worry about except enjoying our special day. When I say this girl goes elbows deep to get the job done, I mean it! If you are looking for a planner who ia knowledgeable, patient, honest, hard working, look no further, Yessenia from Goldmine Events is your girl!!! Couldn't have done it without her!

    When you first meet a potential planner, listen to your gut, usually you can tell right off the bat if it will work. If an interview doesn't feel right, then maybe that person just isn't a good fit for you. Your wedding planner is the vendor you’ll be spending the most time with on the day of your wedding, so it’s important to pick someone who’s compatible with everyone. She was able to work well with my other vendors and they had positive feedback about her as well. I was in wedding denial of wedding planning and probably a very difficult person to work with. Yessenia always remained positive and was very creative and easy to work with, always answered questions in a timely manner. She was able to provide solid recommendations that were very affordable and elegant. She really takes a lot of time to understand what's important to you and also has impeccable taste. We felt comfortable handing the day over to her to execute our wedding day - which she did flawlessly. Best of all, we were actually able to enjoy our wedding day & I knew that my family and bridal party were able to because Yessenia was behind the scenes taking care of all the details (e.g. collecting our cards, gifts, personal items, decorations, flowers, bouquet, cake topper! and taking it back to the hotel for us - that was such a huge help not to worry about! The piece of mind alone to know that you will be able to have fun on the day you've spent SO much time (& money!) pulling together makes having a day-of coordinator ABSOLUTELY worth it. #genevabride

    Everyone was telling us to expect something to go wrong at our wedding, but everything was flawless, thanks to the help of Yessinia and her team. We hired her for the day of but she started way before that. From the meetings, to calling the vendors, to decorating the space, to handling our bridal party of twenty; we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. Yessinia was very professional, dedicated, and so sweet! She told us not to worry about a thing that day and just to enjoy and that's exactly what we did thanks to Yessinia and Goldmine Events! You guys rock!!!

    Let me start by saying THANK YOU very much for the ease and peace of mind I experienced on my big wedding day. At first I didn't feel it was necessary to book a wedding planner but I later found out I was wrong! Yessenia was exceptionally helpful in every way. She gave me lots of ideas and I was able to collaborate my ideas with her which was something I could really appreciate. She provided contacts to florists, photographers, videographers, etc. The day of your wedding is meant to be enjoyed and should be nothing but pleasant. On my big day Yessenia ran the show and because of her everything ran smoothly and on time. Thanks a million Gold Mine Events for everything, it was truly appreciated by Eric and I.
    Love,
    Elizabeth and Eric Sosa

    Yessenia was awesome, pleasant and all around great to work with, she calmed me down when I was a nervous wreck. she make sure the wedding party was where they needed to be, and clean up after the reception so that my family didn't have to. She did an amazing job executing my vision for all the decoration so that I didn't have to do a thing! I was kind of nervous but she made it happen. I wouldn't be able to do this beautiful wedding with out her. She was AMAZING!!!!! I would definitely recommend her... She is Great!!

    Yessenia was excellent to work with. I did not need full wedding planning services so I booked her as my day-of coordinator after hearing great reviews from past brides she had worked with. I needed someone to help set up all the decor, make sure the wedding party was where they needed to be, and clean up after the reception so that my friends and family didn't have to take that on. Yessenia met with me twice prior to the wedding and went over all the details with me to make sure she didn't miss anything. She even came out to the burbs near me so that I didn't have to travel to the city! Yessenia was professional, provided affordable quality services, and did an amazing job executing my vision for all the decor so that I didn't have to do a thing! The wedding was perfect and Yessenia was a huge part of its success!

    Gold MIne Events helped plan a rooftop event for our non-profit organization. Yessenia was professional, pleasant and all around great to work with. She calmed my nerves and helped everything run smoothly. She helped us put out a couple last minute fires that made feel lucky to have her. I would definitely recommend her for future events.

    Yessenia was a gem! She walked through the process with me hand in hand. I am very type-A and it can be difficult for me to let others help. She was able to adhere to my personality, vision and I was very pleased with the outcome. She became like a girlfriend as we planned my wedding in a very short four month period, and we did it all from scratch (no pre=packaged banquet anything). After the event I received many kind words on her help and execution. Best part: I had a 30k wedding that looked like a 60k wedding in the city of Chicago and it included all the highlights and special touches I wanted/needed. She was very flexible, reachable and kept me calm through it all. Hands down best day of my life!!!!
