Peace Of Mind Event Design and Wait Staff

Mollee and her staff were amazing. Every time I met with them or interacted with them in any way, I felt calmer and more excited about it our wedding. Mollee had great ideas to solve various problems, and I loved her confidence and creativity in coming up with ideas that saved time and money. She helped with designing the flow of the evening, suggesting vendors, and even corresponding with vendors and helping with ordering. Truly amazing! Her staff were excellent--Veronica managed our event and was professional, organized, and gracious with everyone. They were affordable and worth every penny!

If I had gotten married in Arizona, I would have without a doubt hired Mollee at POM to help plan my wedding and manage the day. Mollee is not only an absolute professional with a ton of experience- she is beyond passionate about what she does. She brings enthusiasm and creativity to every project. She develops genuine relationships with her clients and vendors alike. Her number one priority will totally be you! Most importantly, she's honest and up front. She will work diligently to create the event of your dreams with the budget that you have. Mollee helped me plan one of my first large scale events ever several years ago and I don't know what I would have done without her assistance and guidance. Most recently, I hosted a baby shower for my sister and I needed to place a small order of glassware and decor and also needed a server to help manage the food and beverages. Mollee was the first person that came to mind. She'll treat a small 15 person gathering with the importance as a wedding, trust me. The server was a total sweetheart and of course professional.Whether you're on the fence about hiring a planner to assist with your event from A to Z considering a day of coordinator, or need assistance with staffing an event don't hesitate to reach out to POM events. Mollee is truly one of the best in town.

They tell you to splurge on two things in a wedding: the photographer and the wedding planner. It's true, and Mollee is the wedding planner to choose! Where to begin? Mollee is amazingly helpful, experienced, professional, connected and just a generally wonderful person! My husband and I were planning our wedding from out of state, and I quickly realized I wasn't going to be able to successfully DIY everything at a distance. I opted to hire on a wedding planner late in the game, and I am so lucky Mollee was available! She was incredibly flexible and patient - making calls with me whenever I was in a panic about details, recommending vendors, emailing me updates and putting together a timeline for me. She is so professional and kind in the midst of so many family opinions and demands, and handles all manners with managerial grace! Mollee brought her connections to my wedding to enact my vision, finding colored glasses and getting organza draping for our venue. When my family insisted we have dinner plated, she was able to put together a great waitstaff and handle all the logistics of a more complicated meal. She was so flexible with my florist and decorator when we found out our ceremony location on site would change, only 2 weeks before the wedding! When I walked into my reception, I didn't even recognize my venue - she had gone above and beyond my vision and transformed the place! Above all, Mollee is an optimistic and patient person who is a joy to work with. She not only offers peace of mind, but will also make your dream wedding a reality! Thank you, Mollee!

Mollee was wonderful! From our first call with her she seemed to be incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and a calming-presence, and that's exactly what she was throughout the entire planning process. We chose her partial planning option so she worked with us throughout our engagement but we split the workload (which we wanted since, admittedly, it was hard to give up some control). Once we found our other vendors, Mollee did a wonderful job communicating with/between them, keeping us on track, and giving advice/making decisions on design aspects (which is what we felt we needed the most help with: trying to make everything cohesive). Sometimes we asked for advice, and sometimes we completely deferred to Mollee for a design choice, and we couldn't be happier with the result!! We also used her other company, Posh Petals, for our florals, and those turned out amazing as well. The wedding was GORGEOUS, and this might be too much pressure to put on her for the future, but there were literally no issues/hiccups throughout the wedding day (at least that we, the bride and groom, knew about). The schedule was so detailed and organized that we even ran slightly ahead of schedule and got to open dancing earlier!The tl;dr is that Mollee took the skeleton of vendors and design ideas that we had and pulled together an incredibly beautiful and seamless wedding day. We could not recommend her more!

Mollee Richey is unflappable, she is kind and funny, and she is masterful at planning and managing a wedding and all that entails. She took care of EVERYTHING for us and coordinated with everyone to make sure we had our ideal day/evening. I knew nothing about planning a wedding and truly didn't know where to begin: Mollee asked the right questions, I told her the picture I had in my head, and she executed flawlessly. Tom and I walked into our reception and were blown away by how beautiful everything was--she nailed it. I cannot recommend her enough--she's AMAZING. Thank you, Mollee!!!!

Mollee was an absolute godsend and I'd recommend her without hesitation. I booked Mollee's full service option and I cannot even fathom wedding planning without her. Mollee is the perfect mix of everything you'd want in a wedding planner: she is calm, collected, and ready with creative solutions when you're stressed or unsure; she is just as excited about your special day as you are, which makes planning with her fun rather than stressful; she is well connected and experienced so you never feel lost or overwhelmed; she is efficient and organized, so you don't have to worry about things falling through the cracks; and, above all, she incredibly kind, supportive, and authentic. I had a LOT of ideas (many of them not-so-great) and Mollee worked through the creative process with me. Not only did she help me bring my vision to life, she made me feel so confident and supported the entire time (all while being extremely respectful of my budget). Plus, she has the best list of recs for other vendors! Even when some of our rentals fell through on the day of our wedding, Mollee found creative (even cheaper!) solutions and implemented them so seamlessly that I didn't even notice until after! Mollee is the real deal and goes above and beyond. Hiring Mollee will be the easiest choice you make! I wish I could give her 10 stars!!!

I told Mollee that my husband and I just wanted to attend the Friday night pre-wedding dinner party at my house as guests and not do anything. (We even stayed at the venue hotel). Mollee set and organized every table, centerpiece, candle and the chairs for 150 people and I don't think I was asked anything more than what more could she do. She and her staff were professional, personable and perfect. The best thing is that when I asked other vendors about the set-up, they just said that they would coordinate with Mollee and not ask me. She's a rock star.

After getting engaged last year, I knew I would need help planning my wedding. I've not attended many weddings and never stood up for a friend's wedding, so I had no idea what to do. About 6 months out from my date, I looked into wedding planners and came across Peace of Mind Events (Mollee Fitzgerald). The reviews were positive, and after a pleasant introductory phone call I booked her services for wedding planning. Shortly thereafter, the frustration began. I quickly learned that Mollee is not proactive, unmotivated, lacks attention to detail, and overall gave me the sense that she was simply uninterested in helping me plan my big day. I hired a wedding planner because I needed guidance from someone who would know what needed to be done by when, would tell me, and would assist in the planning. 2 months before my wedding date, all the help I got was a list of referred vendors and the suggestion to use napkins to incorporate my colors. Speaking of vendors, as part of her contracted services she promises to contact and obtain quotes from at least 3 vendors. What happened was that she would CC me on an introductory email for vendors I specifically inquired about, stating I was interested in their services without asking any key details such as if they're available for my date or their pricing. Basically passing the buck to do it yourself. If I asked her to follow up on anything, she would, but it may take a couple weeks before I would hear anything back. In terms of lack of attention to detail, it took a couple months for her to remember my colors and she emailed the wrong wedding date to my ceremony site (kinda important detail).The day of the wedding, she supposed to help set up at our ceremony site. She was late and arrived at the ceremony start time just in time to point me down the aisle. My family had to set up and take down all the decorations at our ceremony site because she didn't show up. She was also over an hour late to our venue to help set up, so many of our items weren't out when guests arrived for which my family had to help set up again. Prior to our wedding, she promised us that our decorations would be boxed up and placed in the event coordinator's office at the end of the evening which we could pick up the following day. The following day, we were surprised to find everything still in its place from the night before. According to our venue, she had specifically asked that nothing be moved until the following day. Because of this, my mother in law, my aunt and I had to breakdown the entire ballroom. Chair covers and all. I didn't see her after dinner and she never checked in to say goodbye on the wedding day. In fact, I never received any kind of follow up communication after the event, which I would think she'd care about as a small business owner. If I could sum up my experience in two words, it would be "frustrated" and "disappointed". I would NOT recommend Peace of Mind Events, or Mollee, to anyone EVER and hope no one else has such a horrible experience.

Mollee...HERMOSA Mollee... I didn't have the opportunity to thank you properly for the beautiful event which you directed, my daughter's wedding.You can perhaps understand the emotions that a father feels when his little girl is getting married. The beautiful event which you prepared made it so much easier to bear. You are a wonderful person and your personal touch in every aspect was evident everywhere. Thank you for a wonderful event, thank you for your personal attention at all times, and especially thank you for making this a wonderful event for my daughter and Joe! I don't know if you know how talented you are, but it was very evident to us all. Please receive a warm and thankful hug.Carolina's dad!Antonio Blanco

Mollie and her staff are amazing. In particular, Mollie is so sweet and knowledagble and put both my mind and my mother's mind at ease about the details of the wedding. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! I planned the wedding myself but had Mollie staff the dinner staff and bartender, and she organized all the details regarding the food and the ice. When I had questions about something, she happily answered, and she even showed up at the wedding to be sure things were going smoothly. Amazing! It was so nice to know that one aspect of the wedding was taken care of and I didn't have any worries.
