Reviews of Ask for the Moon Events (Event Planner)

Shannon Volk

Maddie, Tara and Megan were absolute dreams to work with! From day one, Maddie was 110% on the ball; emails were answered within minutes of sending, communication never lacked and kept me in the loop through it all. I never once doubted that anything would go wrong before, during or after my ceremony... and I was right. Also, I cannot rave more about Tara and Megan! They were so delightful and diligent about making sure every little piece of the ceremony went perfectly. They were highly attentive, sweet, yet able to corral our whole wedding party (17 of us) to where we needed to be. They made sure that the speeches were in order and everyone was ready to go. They guided us as to what will happen next and where we needed to be. They made sure that the rest of our vendors were paid and taken care of, all of the presents and cards made it to our room safely, ensured that the flower deliveries were on point and set up our whole reception and made it perfect, just how I imagined it. And so so much more!! All these small details are what you don't want to have to deal with on your day and they made absolute sure that they had everything taken care of and that we were simply enjoying our night. I would highly recommend these amazing ladies to anyone looking for anything wedding! They truly made our day so special and I cannot thank them enough!

I Ty have worked with Maddie and her team many times and they are genuine and very caring! They are super organized and fun to work with. I mean way organized, Maddie is a great leader to her team which is key. Each time I provide additional services for them I know the day will be run super smooth. One of the weddings we helped at which is the picture you see was in White Bear Lake MN. They arrived before my team and were already busy setting up and getting the details completed before the Bride and Groom arrived. Thanks!!

Maddie goes above and beyond for her clients. As a fellow wedding planner, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Maddie was the best money spent in our wedding planning process! We hired her for day-of coordination, which also includes an upfront planning meeting and some vendor contact leading up to the big day. Her enthusiasm and professionalism was exceptional in our pre-meetings and during our wedding weekend. She was very quick to respond to messages and helped us organize all our information and props for the day. She made us feel so confident and calm as the wedding date approached because she reached out to all our vendors to confirm date, location, and other details with them a month in advance and then again a week in advance. She also helped chase down our cake vendor who was delinquent on sending our contract and communicating with us - so nice to have that back up! Then, the day-of the event, my makeup artist was late so Maddie tracked her down and made sure we got back on schedule. Maddie and her assistants set up the reception area at the country club, and it was far beyond what we ever imagined we could do with the space!! It was seriously gorgeous and worked so well for our planned agenda and guest track flow during the event. She created our vision with such specific detail that we were utterly impressed! Then, the whole afternoon/evening she organized all the big moments of the reception, kept everyone in place, answered questions, made sure we were constantly happy, and solved every single little thing that popped up without even bothering us so we could have fun! She was such a god-send, and our parents were also just so impressed. The day would not have been nearly as fun or as beautifully decorated without her expert skills, and we are so grateful for her! HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Hiring Ask for the Moon Events was the best decision we made for our wedding. We decided to go with the partial planning package. We had all of the planning meetings we needed and she coordinated all of our RSVPs (CANNOT understate how huge this was especially with a high guest count wedding) and the 15 hours was a perfect amount of time. I had a general idea of what I wanted for my wedding but it was really just piecemeal ideas pulled from Pinterest. Maddie was able to help perfectly pull it together into one vision. She was always there to offer guidance and drive the overall concept enabling us to make quick and easy decisions. Of note, Maddie has a fantastic network of vendors which made life so much easier. We ended up with about 13 different vendors (outside of the venue) and not having to do our own research for each vendor saved an enormous amount of time. All of Maddie’s vendor recommendations did a fantastic job. In terms of the day of, it couldn’t have been better. It started the night before with the most well-done rehearsal I’ve ever been to. Maddie came in and really took control which allowed us to rehearse in about 20 minutes. She was there on the day of at exactly the time she said she would be and coordinated all of the vendors and ceremony setup/reception room flip. The ceremony and reception room were setup exactly as I had been envisioning. It was truly perfect. She made sure everything happened when it was supposed to and if something went wrong…I never knew about. The planning process and day of would not have been as smooth without Maddie and her team. Our wedding was perfect and a large part of it was due to how Maddie ran the show. We could not be more grateful to Ask for the Moon Events. Hire her if you want the perfect wedding!

Maddie is amazing. I cannot express how grateful I was to have Maddie's help for our daughter's wedding. She was like a personal attendant for the mother-of-the-bride, top decorator, etiquette extraordinaire, and she flawlessly takes care of all the little things that come up as you plan your wedding and on the big day. The bride will feel so calm if you have Maddie as part of your wedding team. We are so glad we hired Maddie for the peace of mind it brought. Best decision!!

I had the pleasure of working with Maddie and Ask for the Moon Events at a wedding I photographed. Maddie was so wonderful to work with! She kept everything organized, moved everyone along at the right times, and coordinated and directed behind the scenes so everything went off without a hitch. The bride and groom and their families didn't have to lift a finger, so they were free to enjoy their big day. Everything was so awesome, and I highly recommend Ask for the Moon Events!

Words cannot express how thankful and grateful we are for Ask for the Moon Events and everything they did to make our day the best ever!! We wanted a unique wedding and that is exactly what Maddie and her team gave us. Maddie was there for us every step of the way and was our 'saving grace' throughout this process. Whenever there was a problem, she had a solution. If it was a financial hurdle, she found a way to cut costs. During the stressful times, her skills and tenacity helped us through. Ask for the Moon Events goes the extra mile and truly listens to what you want. They make your dreams a reality and we highly recommend them!!

As a musician and long-time wedding vendor, I love working with Angie! She manages big events with ease, stays calm under intense pressure, and does everything in her power to give the wedding couple exactly what they want. You couldn't ask for a better planner to have in your corner than her! We love collaborating with her and can't wait for the next one!

My mom wanted me to hire a day-of coordinator for my wedding to avoid missing out on wedding day fun like she did for my brothers' weddings. Maddie blew our expectations out of the water!! She went above and beyond in all aspects. She was an effective and efficient communicator between wedding party and vendors, always polite and keeping everyone on task. Everything went SO smoothly and she had so many great tips that really made our day top-notch. I would highly recommend this vendor!!! SHE IS WONDERFUL :)

Maddie and her team at Ask For The Moon (AFTM) events went above and beyond what we were expecting for our wedding day. We hired AFTM for day of wedding coordination after friend recommended working with AFTM. My friend noted how thoughtful, organized and detail oriented Maddie and her team were for her wedding. Based on my friend’s recommendation, I was expecting a lot, but Maddie and her team exceeded those expectations. She was so helpful in making sure all my questions were answered leading up to the day and it was so helpful to have her as a resource for etiquette and logistics questions with my mom, mother-in-law and maid of honor all being out of state. Maddie was not only helpful when it came to planning and executing the logistics of our day, she was also just a joy to be around. She kept everyone excited but calm as the stress and jitters kicked in for the big day. Any detail we forgot (like bringing champagne to pop for pictures), Maddie had handled. She made me feel confident that everything would get done and I could just relax and enjoy the day. Every minor glitch or hiccup that happened along the way was immediately taken care of by Maddie and her team. I actually wasn’t even aware of any snafu along the way because Maddie was so on top of it! We were very lucky to have them in our corner. We can’t praise this team enough and will always remember how much they helped make our day as wonderful as it was! Thanks again AFTM!

Amy Gesell

We couldn’t have been more happy with Maddie and her team on our wedding day! She helped us experience the wedding day we both wanted with every single detail covered. Over our 6 month engagement, Maddie’s experience and expertise shown through in our planning calls and meetings that kept us focused and on track, and her guidance as we imagined the venue and selected caterers was invaluable. The day of our wedding was exactly as we hoped it’d be.... an amazing day to share with our closest friends and family without the stress of the details. Maddie and her team were true professionals at coordinating all the moving parts so we could enjoy the day. She helped us transform a private home into a stunning wedding venue on a very practical budget, facilitated the transition from ceremony to reception with ease, and had all loose ends tied up by the end of the evening. We highly recommend connecting with Maddie if you are planning a wedding this year. You’ll love working with her — we did!

Maddie is just fantastic! Working with her is always a pleasure and it's so refreshing to see someone who has their heart in their business and genuinely cares for their clients! Did I mention how much her clients and other vendors like her? Thank you for making everyone's life easier Maddie! :)

Matt Appleman

I couldn't have been happier with the team at Ask for the Moon. We asked them to help for the "day of" our wedding. They were professional, organized, and extremely helpful throughout the whole event. Ask for the Moon made the day of much more relaxed knowing that capable hands were at the reins. I highly recommend them for any event planning.

Jill Laorr

I was the mother of the bride. Hiring Maddie as our wedding planner was the best decision we made. Besides being such a warm and wonderful person, she is incredibly well-organized, well respected by all the vendors and very hard working. Her advice and recommendations were spot on and our day was absolutely perfect. Maddie pays for herself as she saved us money on flowers, cake etc. with her suggestions. I can't recommend her highly enough.
