If you have a milestone occasion coming up- and want to celebrate big, but have been hit with sleepless nights filled with anxiety-producing nightmares of how to orchestrate all those details– do not fret…there is a savior out there, and her name is Mindy Weiss. For over twenty years, the Los Angeles and New York based Weiss- who is one of the top 5 wedding planners in the US according to the New York Times- has been executing creative and unique weddings, corporate events, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, and destination blowouts to the likes of Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, Heidi Klum, Fergie, and Gwen Stefani…among others, and has built her brand into a full lifestyle spectrum- which includes a product line, books, and sponsorship deals.
Weiss began her career designing custom invitations for social events, and when she naturally segued into party consulting, it was done by word of mouth only, believing her work alone was a strong enough selling point…and she was right. Having planned over 1,000 weddings, Weiss admits the process can be stressful but approaches each event with a sense of humor, patience, and utmost respect for her clients privacy. She also isn’t afraid to get down and dirty, offering this key bit of advice to anyone planning their own main event- which is to get in the trenches and have a do-it-yourself moment, however large or diminutive the task is.
With two wedding books, appearances on Good Morning America and The Today Show, as well as numerous write-ups in just about every magazine, Weiss also consults to big-time corporate brands and retailers. What labels Weiss a stand-out from other high-profile party- makers, are the emotional components of heart, love, and warmth that is ever-present at each of her tastefully stunning events. By the way, if someone would like to throw me a party in the near future, I know just the person…www.mindyweiss.com
