The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants

Mark is an amazing wedding coordinator!! My fiance was the best man in a wedding where Mark was the planner and he loved him so much that we had to have him for our wedding! We are still 5 months away, but Mark has been so helpful thus far and we cannot wait for how amazing the day will be. Also, Christina did our save the dates and is so talented. We will be having her do our invitations as well.

Truly a godsend. While I am a highly organized person, I found that QOH helped in keeping me further organized. I loved that when it came time for my wedding day I had absolutely no worries whatsoever. I also loved telling my mom we don't have to worry about that Rebecca is taking care of it. I was so satisfied with them that as I was getting into my wedding gown I told my mom, we have to get a Rebecca for my sister who recently got engaged.

Some of the services I loved was how quickly I would get recommendations during our planning process, how quickly I would get answers on etiquette questions, how well the timeline for dayoff was planned and finally IT WAS MY WEDDING THE WHOLE TIME! Never once did I feel like I was pushed into using a particular vendor or performing the ceremony a certain way.

Amazing service from an amazing group, if you want you dream wedding QOH is certainly the way to obtain it.

My wedding planner understood very well and suggested things I wouldn't have even thought about. My vintage theme wedding was beautiful, seamless, and perfect. I don't know how I could have done it without my planner. Overall, I had a stress free, fantastic wedding. Thank you for making my wedding just perfect and memorable!

What can I say? Mark is the reason I still had hair the day of my wedding! Mark was there for every little thing, taking care of even the smallest detail which really made planning my wedding a nearly stress-free event! The day of was micro managed by him, taking every worry away from me allowing me to truly enjoy my day! Mark checked in with me periodically through out the day, letting me know what was coming up, and if I needed to be somewhere soon. He is very professional, responding promptly and thoroughly to all emails. I loved having a wedding planner to help me with this process, and I will never forget all he did to truly make my day perfect and flawless. Thank you Mark!

I am afraid I will never be able to find the words to express how grateful we are to have found Rebecca Richman. My code name for her became "the drama free zone". Everything this woman touches turns stress-free and fantastic. When I mentioned hiring a wedding planner to my fiance he was really unsure at first. As we worked with Rebecca and Queen of Hearts he was a convert!! With Rebecca's impeccable professionalism, organizational skills, easy going personality and wedding planning wisdom we literally flew through 9 months of little to no stress in planning our wedding. One thing no one told us when we were looking for wedding planners is how important it is for the planner to have deep vendor relationships. Rebecca and Queen of Hearts are so highly connected and where they didn't know someone they are supremely skilled in the art of creating instant relationships. This proved to be a huge asset as we researched venues, chose florists and worked with the full team leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Smooth, amazing experience and we could not have done that without them. Period. If you are even considering hiring a planner, do it and do it with Queen of Hearts. Their value go so far beyond the cost and the biggest gift of all is it frees you up to be present and actually enjoy this special time in your life.

Whenever we talk about our experience with Queen of Hearts, my mom and I agree that their fee – without a doubt – was the best expenditure in my wedding budget! Mark Kingsdorf runs one amazing company. We met with him initially and he paired us up with Rebecca Richman, his associate. Rebecca is a fantastic woman and a terrific wedding planner. Along with being very organized, efficient and knowledgeable, she was absolutely wonderful (and fun) to work with and was always available to answer our questions, help solve our problems, and guide us in the right direction. She appreciates the fact that each bride is different and comes to the table envisioning her own perfect wedding. Rebecca listens carefully to this and does everything possible to make these dreams become a reality. Basically, your vision becomes hers as she works with you through the wedding preparations, and soon, you begin to feel you have a new best friend! Two special qualities in Rebecca that we especially appreciated were her patience and composure. No matter how many questions we asked or obstacles we encountered, she always remained patient and calm and set our minds at ease. The day of our wedding, she was amazing and spent the entire day handling everything, so that my husband and I and our families could relax and enjoy the day.

Queen of Hearts and Rebecca have enormous connections with vendors in the Philly area and thus, can recommend vendors who complement both your style and budget. The vendors we chose with their help were perfect for us and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The fact that Queen of Hearts recommended them and knew their work relieved a lot of stress for us. We knew we could depend on our vendors following through on what was planned and being efficient and on-time on our wedding day.

The packages that Queen of Hearts offers are a huge value to anyone planning a wedding. “Day-of-Wedding” services relieve stress when the main focus of the day should be enjoying the event. We opted for their “Full Service Planning,” which also includes helping you hone your vision, create a budget, recommend vendors, and pull all the many details together. My mother and I worked with Rebecca for over a year and it was definitely one of our best decisions. Without hesitation, we both HIGHLY recommend Queen of Hearts Consultants (and of course, Rebecca!) to help make your wedding experience all that it should be!

I was lucky enough to have the Queen Of Hearts team (specifically Christina Lupo) assist in planning our September 2011 wedding. I had a vision of what I wanted our wedding to be and they helped this vision come to life in a way I could have never done alone. Their vendor reccomendation, attention to detail, knowledge, and connection in the industry was so helpful. Planning with them was truly enjoyable which is exactly how I wanted it to be. We had a logistically tricky day being that I was getting ready in Bucks County, getting married at St. Augustine's in Old City, then having the reception at the National Constitution Center. Oh, and our guests were staying at The Westin Philadelphia. However, each of those locations were important to us so the QOH helped us to make it all happen and ensure our guests were taken care of. I can't thank Mark ,Christina, and the whole QOH team that was there on wedding day enough for helping it be, hands down, the most carefree and FUN day of our lives!

I worked with Mark Kingsdorf for over a year to plan my August 2011 wedding at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA. Mark was recommended to me by a number of friends who had also used his wedding services, and they were correct in calling him "the best"! Mark helped to organize everything throughout the year, scheduling appointments, reviewing details and communicating with all of our other vendors. Most importantly, he was instrumental in helping us choose the right professionals to help our big day meet our expectations -- the florist, hair and makeup, band and food were all extraordinary. Food was a priority for us and with his culinary background, Mark was able to work directly with our caterer to help our detailed vision come to life. As we got closer to the wedding, Mark's experience became more and more invaluable--from checking on insurance, to getting new escort cards printed at the last minute, to orchestrating a surprise A'Capella performance during our ceremony, to keeping everyone calm-- I couldn't have done it without him. By the morning of the wedding, all I needed to do was show up. In fact, due to Mark's organization and experienced team, the day of my wedding was probably the most relaxing day of the year. Our wedding was seamless, beautiful and for us, just absolute perfection. Thank you Mark!

Magical! Wonderful! Rebecca from Queen of Hearts was so wonderful from our first meeting until the end of the wedding night. It was a great day and Rebecca thought of everything we needed before it even crossed our minds. I've told many people that the best decision I did after accepting my husband's proposal was hiring the Queen of Hearts as our wedding planner. It made the wedding planning fun and the actual day was enjoyable from beginning to end. Do yourselves a favor and contact the Queen of Hearts!! :)

The Queen Of Hearts did an amazing job putting together every detail that went into one of the most special days in a woman's life! Rebecca was my consultant and I couldn't have been happier with her! She knew exactly what I was looking for to make my wedding day everything I dreamed of! She was very prompted getting back to me and she had the answers I was looking for whenever I emailed or called which was what I needed to keep calm. We planned a very short engagement and therefore I needed someone to be very accurate with my requests. Rebecca made it very easy to make decisions and I am NOT a decisive person!! She went with me to almost everything, asked the questions, and took care of the details! Rebecca was very attentive and did an amazing job!

The day of the wedding went off without a hitch!! The whole QOH team was amazing! They made sure everything ran so smooth! There is nothing about the wedding I would have changed and the Queen of Hearts made that happen!

I cannot recommend Mark and his team enough. There is a reason they have been on the "Best of Weddings" list since 2007. Just recently having 2011 added. From our first meeting to the day after brunch, Mark was there for me. He goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and happy. He has the best relationships with the top wedding vendors in the Philadelphia area. I live in Chicago and planning a "long distance wedding" was so easy working with Mark. You will not be disappointed.

Without a doubt our wedding day would not have been the same without Rebecca and the Queen of Hearts! We hired Rebecca as our day of coordinator but she was very helpful outside of our wedding day as well. She took care of every wedding day detail we never would have or could have thought of. Rebecca and her team were amazing and made our day enjoyable and stress-free!

I can't say enough great things about Mark Kingsdorf. He provides outstanding service and professionalism, and my husband and I don't know what we would have done without him. He was with us from the beginning of our wedding day all the way through to our departure. He made sure all of our details were set and that everything went smoothly! He is an amazing and inspiring person and I'm glad to be able to say that Mark Kingsdorf was a part of our special day!

Mark, Rebecca, and Kristin were awesome!! Mark had fabulous attention to detail and really made the day so perfect for my husband and I! We cannot thank him enough!!!!

Hiring Rebecca as our DOC turned out to be such a smart decision! Rebecca helped us pull everything together and remain calm during the last few months before the wedding and on our wedding day. To this day I still don't know if anything went wrong, we were blissfully happy all day while I'm sure Rebecca worked her tail off behind the scenes. Rebecca and Mark were super flexible, went above and beyond the terms of our contract to provide superior service. I can't recommend QOH weddings enough to anyone planning a wedding, my only regret is not hiring them earlier and for full-on wedding planning instead of just day-of.

Everything at my wedding went flawlessly, and I know that Mark and Rebecca are to thank in large part for that. From making sure that all of my rowdy family members knew where they had to be throughout the night, to ensuring that our videographer didn’t go into overtime, to even duct taping my husband’s uncle’s shoe together, QOH was behind the scenes handling EVERYTHING so we could enjoy the night. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Mark Kingsdorf from The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants is the BEST!!! He loves what he does and it shows. Your questions are answered before you can even ask them or think of them! He knows what he is doing and makes you feel calm and taken care of. We would have been lost without him. He was 10 steps ahead of EVERYTHING! Mark is truly the best consultant and is come highly recommended. I have already told my friends to use him...and they don't even have a ring yet! Mark is professional, personal and caring. He cares about your special day just as much as you and your family do, and he is just as excited as you are. Regardless to as many weddings he has been apart of he still is as excited to see yours! Kristen is also great and helped a lot the day of our wedding. Use The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants and you will not go wrong!

I cannot say enough good things about Mark and his team, especially Rebecca Druckenmiller. I chose the day-of coordination package, and then paid for Mark on an hourly basis throughout the planning process to help me with recommendations for vendors. Mark was nothing short of amazing. After we discussed the vision and budget for the wedding, he gave me several options for trusted vendors that we took - and loved! He was responsive and fun to work with. Rebecca was head of the day-of team -- yes, that's right, a team -- and she was in total control. She made sure everything ran smoothly, that we all looked perfect, and that all of our vendors, musicians, etc. were taken care of. For a busy Type A bride, Queen of Hearts was worth every penny and I've recommended them to several other brides-to-be.

The BEST! I was a bit of a reluctant bride. After about 3 years of engagement, I decided I needed professional help. We met Mark and knew right away that he was totally professional and had the experience and the knowledge we needed. Once we decided on a location and date for the wedding, we really only had about 4 or 5 months to plan it. Mark and his team made it come together beautifully. His recommendations for photographer, seamstress, florist, and officiant were spot-on. His advice on timelines, invitations, and other planning details was also outstanding. Because he had another wedding scheduled for our date, about a month before he handed our wedding-day details over to Christina Gargano-Lupo, who was also outstanding. Without Christina on our wedding day, I would have been a basketcase. With Christina, I was totally calm, and able to enjoy my wedding day!

Can't say enough positive things about Mark and his team at QOH. In addition to ensuring that each detail of our special day was flawlessly executed, Mark attended personally to our family members to ensure that no one was wanting for anything during our celebration. His attention to detail and his foresight to be prepared for anything were unmatched by anyone else we worked with. Never intrusive and always reliable, he truly made our wedding the perfect day we hoped it would be.

Mark is THE BEST! He went above and beyond our expectations and provided 110% of what he promised. He knows his stuff and was able to guide us in the right direction in regards to all the questions, concerns and fears we had.

Plan a wedding?? I would have been LOST. Mark is a life savior. I highly recommend him. He has been wedding planning for years. He knows every one in the business and gives great recommendations. When you have Mark you have no stress. This is your special day that starts a new life with your partner. Most people take a year to maybe three years planning a wedding. Mark did all of that for us in ONE week. He pulled everything together. We had no stress what so ever. The big day came and everything happened as he said it would. Without Mark we would have never had our dream wedding! Call Queen of Hearts now! You can see some of our wedding pictures on his BLOG under Lisa and Victor.

Mark was fantastic and a huge help. I was traveling 4 - 5 days a week while trying to plan our wedding and I don't know how I could have done it without Mark. He recommended vendors he tought would work well with us, understand our vision and stay in our budget. When we wanted to do something he made suggestions on how to accomplish what we wanted. We had an amazing day, that was unique to us and was executed perfectly. That had everything to do with Mark.

excellent service

Yay for Mark! He helped make Jonathan and my day very "us" with also adding some family traditions. <3

Mark and his staff were great. Their attention to detail was really remarkable. And whenever small, unexpected things went awry, as they are bound to do, Mark and co. jumped into action and solved the problem, no muss, no fuss, without any of the guests ever knowing anything was wrong. They were a pleasure to work with, and we would recommend them highly.

Originally I didn't think I would need a wedding coordinator because I felt pretty on top of everything. But my mom convinced me that it would be helpful to have someone there on the wedding day and boy was she right! We hired Rebecca based on reviews and a sense of confidence we had after our first meeting with her and she still exceeded all of our expectations. She and her team were there for everything we needed - contacting vendors for things before the wedding, running the rehearsal, constantly making sure I had a drink if I wanted one, gathering the photographer, videographer, and VIPs for big moments, figuring out how to turn on the fans when it got too hot, and even sweeping up a broken glass on the dining room floor! I didn't have to worry about a thing and was just able to enjoy the day to the fullest.

One of the best planners in Philly!

Mark Kingsdorf and the Queen of Hearts are unsurpassed in providing bridal consulting and event planning services to you. As a Master Bridal Consultant, Mark and his team work hard to make sure your wedding is personal, fun and one that everyone will remember. I highly recommend them.

Excellent events! Great staff to work with.

Top of the line professionals who don't miss any detail and they leave nothing to chance. You will not be disappointed in this first class group of planners lead by Mark Kingsdorf - simply awesome!

We always love doing weddings with Mark and his team at Queen of Hearts. FTO knows things will run smoothly and on time with this team of professionals.

I worked with Mark on a wedding at Rittenhouse Square. He was great to work with and made the day run very smoothly. It was a very unconventional wedding, and Mark handled it great!

The love of my life is also the most amazing professional planner with not a moment wasted without a learning element included. When Mark speaks, the room becomes quiet because we know something worthwhile will be said. Cheers.

When Mark and team are on the job, you know everything will be done IN STYLE and ON TIME.

Professionalism, class and style only just start to describe Mark and his staff. It would be difficult to find anyone more passionate or dedicated to his clients and work.

Mark Kingsdorf of Queen of Hearts is an excellent event planner! Certainly one of the best I've ever worked with in the Philadelphia area. Mark is both attentive to his clients wishes and a pleasure to work with!
I look forward to working with him at The Park Hyatt Bellevue in the fall of 2009.

The best of the best!

It has been my privilege to know Mark Kingsdorf for many years. I seen the beautiful weddings he creates and have happily referred him to many brides to be.
Mark is caring and precise. His couples have his undivided attention when planning their wedding.
