Amazing Wedding Planner!

We engaged Emily from A Sparkling Events as our month-of wedding planner, and her dedication and exceptional efforts truly transformed our wedding day into something extraordinary. Right from the beginning, Emily collaborated closely with us to ensure that all our vendors seamlessly integrated with our wedding's timeline and thematic vision.

Her meticulous attention to detail extended to coordinating with the wedding venue, overseeing every facet, from the flawless setup of decorations to the seamless orchestration of portrait photography. Emily's expertise ensured a seamless transition from our heartfelt ceremony to the joyous reception, leaving every attendee with unforgettable memories. We enthusiastically recommend Emily for her outstanding wedding planning services!

Could not have pulled off our wedding without Emily!!

We are so incredibly grateful that we found Emily to help us coordinate our wedding. We did a destination wedding in Monterey, so we planned from a distance. Emily made it so easy to make sure we had all of our vendors lined up, did everything on time leading up to the day, and then completely coordinated everyone on the day of the wedding! Not to mention all of the extra things she did for us outside of her job description!! We could not be happier with her and her team’s work. We would highly, highly recommend you go with A Sparkling Event to make sure your wedding goes off without a hitch.

Stress Free Monterey Wedding

My husband and I were very lucky to work with Mandi Nack at A Sparkling Event. I remembered Mandi specifically because she was my sisters wedding planner and she became part of our family.

We worked with Mandi at A Sparkling Event for the last 6 weeks of wedding planning. She ensured all contracts with vendors were handled and made sure everyone was on schedule for the big day. Mandi even printed out a detailed itinerary for the entire wedding party so that they knew where and when to be at specific locations. I’m not kidding when I say my wedding ran so smoothly and stress free. There are so many details we as brides don’t think of on our actual day and Mandi handles everything and walks you, your family and bridal party through every step with ease. I got to actually enjoy every second of my wedding! She really became part of our family and even took amazing memorable behind the scene photos for us. Everyone loved her. She made sure everyone stayed on schedule and had a great time. My husband and I always had a drink in our hand and actually ate the food! If you want to actually enjoy your wedding and all of your hard work I 100 % recommend this company. They really go above and beyond and will even make sure your grandma is taken care of and gets home safe. If you forget something important, BAM they go get it. No stress ever. There was even a medical emergency at our wedding and my husband and I had no idea because she handled the entire thing with such grace. Trust me when I say this company is worth it! They are truly amazing and will ensure everything goes smoothly!

Mandi and A Sparkling Event is everything you could want in a wedding planner: Impeccable taste, highly organized, detail oriented, hard worker, and best of all, she’s always wearing a smile. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to photograph the beautiful weddings that Mandi has planned. Some of the best work I’ve done in my career has been enabled thanks in no small part to Mandi’s contribution to a gorgeous day and an accommodating timeline. Weddings can be a dynamic, emotional environment, and Mandi is always able to go with the flow, keep things on track, solve problems and avoid getting stressed. I highly recommend Mandi and her team at A Sparkling Event.
