From across the ocean in Philadelphia, my now-husband and I embarked on an unforgettable weekend to celebrate our love in the enchanting city of Athens. Our adventure was made possible, and truly magical, all thanks to the exceptional guidance and meticulous planning of Mando.
From the very beginning, Mando’s dedication and expertise shone through. Mando was able to secure a desired slot at the magnificent Faneromeni church and help us coordinate the correct documents and paper work to ensure we would be able to have our ceremony. Despite the geographical distance, she scouted the most exquisite locations for our pre-wedding events, ensuring each venue reflected the romance and grandeur we envisioned. Once the ceremony and venues were secured, she meticulously coordinated every aspect of our celebration, from sourcing vendors for decor, transportation, florals, lighting, and entertainment, to selecting the perfect wedding favors that encapsulated the essence of our love story.
What truly set Mando apart was her unwavering commitment to ensuring every moment was perfect, not just for us, but for our loved ones as well. When my parents embarked on their journey to Athens to finalize the details of the wedding, Mando went above and beyond to orchestrate a week-long itinerary filled with tastings, venue visits, and shopping excursions, ensuring they seamlessly coordinated all necessary arrangements. On our wedding day, Mando’s presence was a source of reassurance and comfort, ensuring all our guests were comfortable and cared for. With her at the helm, my husband and I could fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment, knowing that every aspect of our celebration was flawlessly executed.
Mando’s thoughtfulness extended beyond the logistics; she became our guardian angel, handling every detail with grace and precision. From assisting us in shipping decor items to her and setting them up at each event, to personally packing each wedding favor into the most beautiful boxes, those were just a few of the many ways she left no stone unturned.
She helped transform our dream wedding into a reality beyond our wildest imagination. Mando wasn’t just our wedding planner; she was a friend, confidante, and guardian angel rolled into one. To anyone embarking on their own journey to “I do,” I wholeheartedly recommend entrusting Mando with your vision. Her passion, professionalism, and dedication will turn your dreams into cherished memories for all that will last a lifetime. Many of our guests still rave about our magical weekend, and are impatiently awaiting the 10yr reunion. Thank you, Mando, for orchestrating the wedding of our dreams and for being an integral part of adventure in Athens.
