Jennilee C. Sent on 04/25/2020Amazing! Must have for your big day
Roz went above and beyond as a wedding coordinator! She was definitely my go to person for the last several weeks leading up to the wedding. So many last minute texts and calls as things came up. She tried to make it as stress free for us as possible! For the day of the wedding I couldn’t thank Roz and Mama E and team enough! One of our bartenders ended up leaving early and one of her staff members was able to jump in and help fill in! We also ran out of some utensils and cups and they were able to run to the store to purchase some for us as well. I can honestly say, that we enjoyed every bit of our wedding without any worries because when anything came up they handled it! So, if you want to actually enjoy your big day and not worry about the little details on the day of I would definitely recommend hiring Roz. It was definitely nice when people would ask me where things went or where something was i could simply say, “Go ask Roz”. I would recommend them 100 times over! -

Thank god almighty for MPWA and Ernestine and her team!
Throughout the weeks before my wedding, Ernestine kept in close contact with both my mother and myself and enabled us to throw the wedding of my dreams despite a global pandemic! Even though I basically just dumped all of my visual research and crazy ideas in her lap, somehow my vision came to life and I know I have Roz & Mama E to thank for that. She also handled my musician fiancé's constant stressing about the sound equipment with grace and humor, bless her! I really felt like she was mentoring us through the process, encouraging and supporting us but still being honest while always maintaining her sense of humor and being calm and cheerful. Once we arrived for the rehearsal dinner, she took complete control and it was such a relief to have someone so knowledgeable take the reigns. At one point she was in discussion with folks from the venue and I nervously walked over and whispered, "should I be part of this?" and she just shook her head and said go be with your family. Thanks to her I was able to do just that - and I'm forever grateful for those precious moments. Plenty of little things went wrong, as they always do (my sister locked the flower girl basket in her car for example) but she would never have let any of it fall to me, she's a problem-solving machine, and we had a beautiful dream of a day with no hiccups! Best money you will spend on your wedding, hands-down. You want all the wedding feels, have your vision come to life, and not be a stressball? Run don't walk to hire this team. -

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! -

Alisha M. Sent on 05/27/2019Best addition to a special day!!
The team at MPWA is absolutely amazing, irreplaceable, caring, organized and fun to have along on your special day. Do not plan a wedding or party WITHOUT MPWA! Roz and Mama Ernistine "got" me from the minute I walked in their door. I found so much comfort in feeling like they really had my back. The day of our wedding was incredible with minimal stress for me and my husband. Everything was just fun and that's what you want on your big day. I owe so much of that "fun" feeling to Roz and Mama E. We recieved so many compliments on how beautiful everything was. The biggest compliment was that several guests thought the MWPA team were family. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Hiring MPWA is not a splurge but a form of self care. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and hire Roz and her crew. I promise that you will not be dissapointed. -

MPWA is AMAZING in every sense of the word. Ernestine was a life saver throughout the entire wedding process. She helped us every step of the way, in literally every aspect of our planning. Her communication was fantastic, and she always responded so quickly. I honestly don't know how we could have planned our wedding during normal times let alone in the craziness during 2020. She helped us plan the most perfect day during a PANDEMIC, y'all! Through contacting vendors, determining what we should do for plans A, B, and C, and just being there as a support during the whole process, Ernestine was just amazing. She and her team went above and beyond, and we are so, so incredibly grateful. We cannot recommend Ernestine and MPWA enough... If you are getting married, book them RIGHT AWAY. It will be the best decision you make, I promise!!! -

Jenny J. Sent on 12/22/2019Best decision ever! (besides saying i do :)
MPWA is the BEST in the business and best decision we made (besides saying I do)! Roz, Mama E, Ryan and the rest of their team are MADE to do this work! Deciding to go with their services was BY FAR the best money spent and we were on a budget. They absolutely made our wedding come together and brought it from what would have been a disorganized mediocre wedding to the most beautiful, perfect day hands down. I cannot emphasize enough how crucial their work was in making our wedding perfect. Our families, the wedding party, my husband and I all got to ENJOY our wedding because of the amazing coordination and work that MPWA offered. Roz is on top of everything and handled all of the communication, organizing of events, timeline and decoration! We could not be more pleased with their services and based on our experience with them, believe they are worth their weight in gold! -

This team was one of the best investments we made for our wedding day! Aubree and her team were always available every step of the way before the day even arrived! She offered advice and words of encouragement in my moments I had some concerns about vendors. Her team did a wonderful job helping the vision I had come to life! She also kept the day on track and was flexible when pictures took longer than originally predicted or anticipated. She helped line up the party and helped fluff my dress before walking down the aisle. As the night progresses, she checked in and made sure I had what I needed and handled the difficult situations so that all I had to was enjoy the day with my husband and family! I cannot speak enough praises of the team, I would recommend her to anyone. She was amazing and made my day even more perfect that I thought it could be! I would give this team a million stars! -

Cannot recommend Aubree from MPWA enough! She is everything you want in a wedding coordinator....detail-oriented, calm, and supportive. She went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was perfect and that we could truly relax that day. From the first meeting we knew that we were in good hands. All of our family mentioned after the wedding how great she was and how she handled day of issues like a champ (none of which I was aware of because like I said - she is great at what she does!) She anticipated needs and brought extra supplies and improvised when needed. This girl is a wedding genie and will make all your wishes come true. Aside from Aubree, I highly recommend MPWA because you can get access to their inventory and also bartenders and event staff, which makes it all easy and seamless especially for a DIY wedding venue. Definitely a deal! -

Kelly S. Sent on 08/15/2019Incredible work and support
We hired MPWA after our first (and only) anxious break down and from the very first phone conversation we knew we were in good hands. Every time we spoke with Roz and anyone on the team, we immediately felt better. They know what they are doing, will help you make things go as smoothly as possible, can assist in making decisions when needed or support the vision that you already have.
Some specifics about our experience:
-We used their inventory for decor and linens which they helped us pick out at their office to make the reception how we imagined it looking.
-Once things really started moving (about a month before the date), they coordinated details with all of our vendors so that we didn't have to chase anyone down by phone and could focus on the fun stuff.
-Even though our reception was in the summer, it started raining hard the day of. The whole team was quick thinking and came up with multiple alternative plans that all seemed natural and well thought out.
-They "produced" us very beautifully, running our rehearsal, and telling us where to be at all the perfect moments the day of without making either of us feel shuffled around.
-They were FUN to work with and we had a blast with them at our reception!
To those considering hiring a coordinator, I HIGHLY recommend MPWA. We enjoyed our wedding day so much because of them. -

Jennifer J. Sent on 08/28/2019Perfect score for My Perfect Wedding Assistant!!
Wow! What can we say about Roz and her team? These guys are absolutely the best in their field, no questions asked! If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you just haven't met Roz yet and I promise, you need her!
We first met Roz when we started planning our wedding at the venue of our dreams. After a solid month of trying to work things out with an extremely difficult owner, we unfortunately had to go to Plan B and choose another venue. Roz was a fierce (but professional) advocate for us the entire time. She remained committed to us throughout every step of our process and supported us through unnerving change and transition. She turned our Plan B into our Plan A and then some!
Every detail along the way was anticipated and taken care of by Roz and her team. They thought of things that we didn't think of because of their experience and expertise. They were able to come up with creative ideas and solutions when last-minute things fell apart (with weddings, things do) and were very effective as a team. For example, when a hairdresser dropped out last minute, they had one on their team to provide for the big day. We were blessed with gorgeous weather on our wedding day, but warm weather, and Ernestine and Ryan went out of their way to get water bottles to our ceremony site (their idea!). Their team took care of little details like this the day of that ensured things were not only smooth but magical.
Overall, we'd describe them as organized, communicative, and trustworthy: you absolutely need these things in a wedding planner! The day of our wedding was the most incredible and perfect day of our entire lives. It could not have happened without My Perfect Assistant! They did everything they could to give us what we asked for, and showed us a level of care that is increasingly rare in today's world.
At the end of it all, they really made us feel special, taken care of, and like we had become a small part of their amazing family. They went above and beyond in everything they did, and we know they will do that for anybody they work with.
It's worth adding that they have a large selection of decorations available if needed, so don't be afraid to ask about them about their wide variety of options! We were very particular about what we wanted our wedding to look like and they still had things we were able to use: a photo booth, sound system, gold chargers, and matching chairs for a last-minute addition to the reception dinner. All of these items were provided without us even having to ask. They saw what we needed to complete our vision and ensured the event would run smoothly...logistical things you just don't think about unless this is your wheelhouse.
We could go on and on, but if you're on the fence about this at all, just know that these are the nicest people you'll ever meet and will make you feel the way you should throughout the entire planning process and on your special day. Perfect score for My Perfect Assistant. -

Tracy Sent on 07/08/2019Roz is a lifesaver
We came upon Roz and her team via recommendation from our florist after our own wedding planner suddenly quit on us 6 months before our wedding. After explaining everything to her and Mama Ernestine, they worked with us to be able to fit into our budget as our day of coordinators. Let me just say though, they went above and beyond and then beyond some more. I have never in my life been so impressed with a professional service as I have been with My Perfect Wedding Assistant.
Time and time again when shit hit the fan (as it usually does with wedding planning), Roz had our backs, and had a plan in place. I read from someone else’s review, “...hiring Roz is a form of self care” and I COULD NOT agree more. She and Ryan and their team kept me from tearing my hair out and crying myself to the point of dehydration. I recommend her to EVERYONE I know who is engaged or even thinking about getting engaged, because if there was a star to the show of our wedding in terms of the professionals who helped us pull it off, it was definitely My Perfect Wedding Assistant! -

Roz and her team were amazing! They worked closely with us in the weeks leading up to our wedding to make sure we were comfortable with the plan. And on the day of, we literally didn’t have to think about anything. We didn’t have to worry or plan. They took care of everything! We had the perfect wedding and it is due to Roz and Ryan.

Molly Sent on 07/19/2019Absolutely Incredible
It's hard to put into words how much I appreciate Ernestine and her team. So I guess I will start from the beginning so all of you readers can kind of understand just how amazing this group of people is.
I met Ernestine and her daughter at a wedding expo that I was attending for a friend and I immediately fell in love with Ernestine's energy and motherly attitude toward the brides she worked with, so when the time came for me to get engaged, I sent her an email and got a quick and excited response back.
During the wedding planning, she was so helpful, upbeat, and most of all, kind. With my mother being out of state, Ernestine sort of filled in where my mom couldn't help due to the distance, and that just felt good. She truly was a constant cheerleader. She picked up on my anxieties that I was feeling and was constant positive energy and I honestly freaking loved that.
So for my wedding, I planned for like 100 people, long story short about 50 people told me last minute they couldn't come. So, of course, I felt hurt, nervous, anxious that my wedding was going to be a total flop and this often came out in our walkthroughs and planning sessions. Ernestine DID NOT let me fall apart, she somehow just calmed me and made me excited every time I started to.
Fast forward to the wedding day, we start the day, the decor is beautiful, every detail completely spot on. Her and her team handled the vendors like a BOSS. Our photographer had an awful attitude and Ernestine was not afraid to sit them down and let them know that their attitude was not acceptable.
Throughout the pictures, they kept me hydrated, kept me happy, kept our photographers saucy attitude to a minimum and kept everything in order and handled any problems to perfection.
As the night was dying down, the photographer's negativity and the lack of dancing got to my head and I had a little "moment" at my wedding to where I wanted to end the night early because I honestly thought the night had flopped.
She stepped in and became the life of the party, her and her team were dancing, singing, encouraging, and they really turned the night around. For this, I will forever be grateful. My wedding was almost a nightmare because of my anxiety, but Ernestine refused to let that happen. She is someone I will talk about for years to come. -
