Unique Event Design, LLC

Staci was absolutely amazing. Our daughter's wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, yet Staci's expertise shined through. I did not have to worry about 1 thing because i knew Staci would handle it. Our wedding was held in the garden of a bed and breakfast which required major logistical maneuvering of all of the guests as well as coordinating all of the vendors. It was absolutely perfect!!! Our guests are still in awe! Staci provided vendors which were without a doubt the best in the industry. Many of our guests commented how they wished that they knew Staci because of the fabulous event she did. Kudos to Staci and her staff for a magnificent job from the bottom of my heart!

One of the best things I did in planning the wedding was work with Staci Mandikas, owner of Unique Event Design, LLC. I thought I had most everything done on my list, but I was so wrong. When my husband and I met Staci we realized she was going to help us raise our wedding experience to the highest level. She's very detail-oriented, and makes you feel like you're the only wedding she's working on. On top of that she's creative, and a blast to brainstorm with. If you haven't started thinking about your table card holders, never fear, she comes up with the best ideas. When it came down to the day of, Staci and her assistant were a dream. They fit in with friends, family and other vendors so well, and were everything to us: time-keepers, nerves-calmers, vendor-partners...maestros of the event. I don't know what we would have done without Staci. Fun story! When our wedding party came up with a last minute idea to decorate our bed & breakfast room with rose petals and candles; all they did was utter the words in front of Staci, and "consider it done" was her calm response. They let the frantic worry of planning out their last minute idea, and when we came back to the room; it was magically romantic. If you're looking for someone to go above and beyond your expectations, and an expert to make your day everything it could possibly be; call Staci.

Staci and the crew at Unique Event Design are amazing! I have no idea how I would have managed my wedding without them!

Staci was AWESOME to work with.There are so many things that go into making a wedding and reception a success... most of which we wouldn't have thought of if it hadn't been for Staci! She was able to take what we knew we wanted and didn't want and help us to create a picture perfect wedding! Thank you Staci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Staci and her team were so helpful every step of the way! She was always available by email or phone, and when we were in town, she made a huge effort to spend quality time with us! It was of the essence!The day of our wedding, I never worried about a thing. She and her team seamlessly moved us from stage to stage of the whole celebration; they were always calm, prepared, put-together and SMILING. This was crucial! I not only felt in capable hands, but in loving ones as well.

Staci Mandikas, owner of Unique Event Design, provided us with "Day of Coordinating" package. However, she did SO much more than that. She recommended excellent vendors that I was SO happy with. She also helped me design the layout and decor for the reception and made wonderful suggestions that turned out looking so beautifully. On wedding day, she made sure all the little details that meant so much to me were taken care of. She met with my vendors and provided much needed peace of mind especially during the week of the wedding. I am pretty hands on, and it was hard for me to give up the riegns, but I felt comfortable letting Staci take over, which allowed me to enjoy my wedding a whole lot more! Thank you Staci!

With having a destination wedding I really needed someone who knew great vendors and who I could full trust to have my wedding turn out the way I wanted it. Hiring Staci and her team was the best thing I did, she never complained when I changed my mind on everything, even the wedding date. We had countless email correspondence and she always made time in her busy schedule to meet with me on the very few days I was town. I knew she had plenty of other brides but she always made me feel like I was the most important (I think this is a great quality with working with anyone.) She went above and beyond what I ever expected. On the wedding day she took care of every "crisis" without even worrying me at all. I think everyone should have a Staci throughout the planning process and especially the wedding day!

I wish I could give Staci a 10 out of 5! What a great value for the cost. Staci is a lifesaver and truly did exactly what I was hoping for and way more!! She was super sweet and great at her job!

Staci and her staff were the best investment we made in our wedding! Knowing that her background is in interior design, we picked a few things that were important to us and told her to have fun with the rest. We were blown away!!

I am so glad that I hired Staci! She helped me out in so many ways with planning. Staci was very prompt in returning emails and phone calls, and we actually had two meetings instead of one. She recommended several of my vendors who were excellent. Towards the end of planning when I was getting overwhelmed she stepped in and handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger on my wedding day. The day went so smoothly because of her and her team. If you are considering getting a coordinator, I highly recommend Staci!!

Staci and her team rocked! Everyone at our wedding commented on how smoothly everything went and how effortless it all felt, and a large part of that was due to Staci's hard work and attention to detail! I opted for the "day of coordinator" plan and Staci picked up where I left off without a hitch. She & her team ran the rehearsal and kept everything running smoothly on the big day. I highly recommend her for any large event, she has the unique skill to be very creative with the big picture and then dive down into the details to make it all happen. Thanks again Staci, you were amazing!

I did the day-of coordination with Staci from Unique Event Design and she was fabulous! Lots of extra touches on my wedding day - she was able to take my vision and implement it just the way I wanted. For the cost, especially, she was great. Nice person and easy to work with!! Definitely recommend!

OMG...Staci and her staff was amazing. There was NOT one detail that Staci was not able to handle. She made my day a PERFECT one! Staci was running all over the place for me and my wedding party and never once showed a sign of weakness. At one point I said to one of my BM "she is going to have heart attack" and boy was I so WRONG! Staci and her staff were up and about til almost 1am with our LATIN PARTY CROWD. Staci started all of this off with our RD. 2 weeks before the event I told her "Staci I have NO clue where I am hosting the RD". Her exact words to me were "Julie what is your budget?" I told her the budget she said to me give ok I will handle it from here. And she did just that...Staci planned myh RD including, location, food, DJ, florist, decor, and photography. I did not have to worry about a thing. All I did was show up and look pretty. When I got there it was absolutely amazing...something I would have never dreamed of doing. Staci has a talent like no other. Now the day of my wedding...WOW-BLING it was! My theme was BLING and there were crystals and stones all over the place! From the ceremony to the cocktail hour all the way to the reception and exiting! Staci took charge and completly made my vision of an amazing wedding become a reality...it was unreal! Thanks so much to Staci and Unique Event Designs!

Staci was absolutely wonderful! I had been so overwhelmed before I hired her, and planning my wedding was starting to seem like a job. I was anxious and worried about all of the little details instead of being excited to marry the man of my dreams. She took all of the work out of it so my wedding could be the celebration it was supposed to be. She juggled all of the vendors and even added her own candles and decorations to the cake table etc to ensure that everything looked beautiful. I would recommend her to any bride who wants to focus on the reasons she is getting married and not on the details of it.

All I can say is WOW about this wonderful person. Staci was the best investment my husband and I could have made for our December 11th 2009 wedding. Staci was the gem that made my wedding sparkle. Her execution was flawless and she delivers only the best. Throughout our almost one year of planning Staci went above and beyond her call of duty to make our wedding the most unforgettable event for us and our guest. Her attention to detail left us speechless. We were all very impressed by her hard work. But Staci’s greatness doesn’t only have to do with the way she executes the tasks at hand, it all begins with her wonderful personality. Staci was the only wedding coordinator we interviewed, and as soon as we met her she blew us away. Her personality brought life to our wedding planning. On those very stressful days when, as a bride, you are saying, “What did I get myself into”, one call from Staci and you find yourself wondering why you where stressed at all in the first place. She really takes the time to tend for her brides’ needs and wants. One example of this was when we decided out of nowhere, less than a week before the wedding, mind you, to change the entire layout of our reception. When I called Staci to tell her this while cringing inside, she surprised us all by showing up at our house, laptop in hand and ready to work on it with us into the wee hours of the night. She is truly the best investment anyone can make for their wedding. Not to mention all the money we saved just having her with us. The savings she found for us pretty much paid for her services in itself. If that isn’t enough for you to choose Staci as you event or wedding coordinator just give her a call, sit down and have some coffee with her and let her charm and beautiful personality win you over and leave you breathless.

I was more than pleased to work with Staci from Unique Event Design. She went beyond the call of duty. She was very helpful with following up with another vendor which Staci was not hired to do. Staci's help made the weeks befor the wedding non stressful.Call her she will work according to your needs.

Staci was fantastic! She was my Day of Coordinator but provided me with so much assistance throughout the whole planning process. I slept easy the night before my wedding (really!) because I knew Staci would have everything under control for my big day. My new husband and I agree that the best money we spend throughout the wedding process was the money we used to hire Unique Event and Design! I could not have pulled off a perfect day without her.

I cannot say enough good things about Staci. We were initially on the fence about whether or not we needed a coordinator since our venue came with one, but it was one of the best decisions we made. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her! We hired her for just DOC, but she did SO much more than that. Admittedly, I'm a bit neurotic and I was worried if my "vision" would turn out but it did and then some. She made all these little touches throughout our reception site that just made it look amazing. We got so many compliments from guests about what a beautiful wedding it was and especially about our cake table, which was all her idea! She did an amazing job, both with organization, handling vendors, keeping me sane and calm, decorating and make our vision come to life. Hire her now!!! I promise you won't be disappointed!

I cannot say enough good things about Staci with Unique Event Design. I hired her for day of coordination only, however she went above and beyond that! My wedding day would not have been the same without her. She took care of everything that day, all I had to do was show up. I told Staci my vision throughout the planning process and she made it come to life on the big day! I've received numerous compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and I can truly say Staci contributed volumes to that. I basically handed her boxes of decorations and said "Have at it!" I was so impressed with everything that day, it was exactly what I wanted :) She is friendly, funny, prompt and very reliable! If you haven't hired her yet you are missing out.

I can not have enough praise for Staci, she listen to what we wanted and came thur. When i walk into the room i was so very surprised, what a great job she did. I would not think twice about recommending her.

Staci was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond for our wedding! It was absolutely beautiful! Thanks Staci! I would've never made it through without your help!!!

Staci is an amazing coordinator. She is very detail-oriented and has high energy and a very positive attitude. She was wonderful to work with. I don't think my wedding would have been the same without her, she relieved basically all the stress of the the wedding. Don't think about it, just hire her, you won't be disappointed.

I definitely recommend Staci @ Unique event design. During the planning process, she was very helpful and responsive. On the day of, she was fantastic! She took care of everything and left me to enjoy the day with my family. Staci's commitment to her brides is undeniable!!! Call them today!

Staci Rocks!! There is really no better way to describe her services. She totally stepped in and helped me! I had a ton of last minute things to take care of and she helped me with all of them and even offered to ride along to vendors with me! She went WAY WAY WAY above and beyond. Staci gave me such great ideas along the way too!

This was the best vendor we picked. Staci at Unique Event Design went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was all it was suppose to be and more. Having her the day of my wedding was invaluable. I worried about nothing. I knew in speaking with her that everything would be perfect and it was!

Her company name says it all! If you are looking for something unique, NOT the same old same old and want a fresh spin on things I encourage you to give Staci a call. She puts her heart in to everything she touches

Staci and the crew at Unique Event Design truly live up to their name. Whether you want a high-scale affair or a low-key reception, they don't skip out on the details that make the party uniquely yours. As a DJ, we love a coordinator we can easily contact, keeps us in the loop (since we are the MCs), and works with us on floor plans. UED exceeds all these expectations... if they treated us THIS good, I can't even imagine how well they treated our couples!

Staci was fantastic to work with! Her execution of the Bride's vision was perfectly put together and was one of our most beautiful weddings at the Westshore Yacht Club. I hope to work with Staci and the Unique Event Design staff in the future.

I am very fortunate to have been Staci's disc jockey for her personal wedding, so it's a pleasure to write about her. When she and Bill hired me and we met for our first consultation, Staci was completely organizedwith music requests and a vision of how she wanted her reception to flow. Most couples are not this prepared or positive of what they want at first, but Staci was different in a very unique and fun way. She was truly enjoying planning every aspect of her wedding, even down to her custom hand made programs that I saw 2 weeks before her wedding. Now for the great part ... she transformed a bland ballroom into a beautiful showcase of their personalities, and I still wasn't aware that she was behind all of it. Staci didn't tell me she was going into the Wedding Planning Business full time until AFTER her wedding was over. I believe she was testing me to see what I was made of, and honestly, I was completely blown away by her Unique Design and concepts while playing her music. Saying Staci is "awesome" does pretty much sum it up. As a bride you need to call this extremely talented lady to assist you in creating the perfect wedding for you. As a wedding vendor you will truly enjoy working with Staci. Please tell her that Chuck from TampaBayDJ.com said hello!

Staci is great! She is young, fun, creative, and AMAZING!! If you want a fresh wedding and ideas that have never been thought of - Staci is the "Go To" Wedding Planner. She is truly Unique!

I have had the pleasure of working with Staci at Unique Event Design. I can honestly say she is top notch! Her talent and creativity is evident in each wedding she does. I highly recommend her services to make your wedding day go smooth and gorgeous!
