"I had Dunia and Mandy from Platinum Events coordinate my wedding two weeks ago, and they were fantastic!! I was one of those brides who weren't 100% convinced at first that the day of wedding coordinator was necessary, but I'm so glad that I decided to get professional help on coordination, and I feel lucky that I got introduced to such amazing coordinators like Dunia and Mandy. They were definitely on top of things from beginning to end. Dunia was in contact with me via meetings, phone calls and e-mails to ensure she completely understands what I want my wedding to be like. We did a site visit together where we took a look at the ceremony area, reception hall, and the getting ready room to plan out all the details, and she helped us run the rehearsal successfully. Dunia and Mandy were diligent in contacting all the vendors and ensuring they understand and are committed to the event timeline. Dunia had a lot of great ideas and suggestions for the event I had not thought of, and when there were decisions to be made by me, she was very good at effectively and efficiently presenting all of my options. For example, I asked Dunia and Mandy to display the table numbers, menus, wedding favors and place cards while I was getting ready in the room. Dunia came back with the pictures of a couple different options to set up these items and asked me to pick my favorite. All I had to do was just pick my favorite from the pictures. Throughout the day, there were many instances where she could have easily chosen one way and just go with it, but she made an extra effort to make sure I'm happy with every detail. She didn't miss any of my asks and actually delivered them more than perfectly. No large event like wedding can be held without any issues. I was impressed by how well Dunia handled all the big and small issues that arose during the event. The reception room was planned to be decorated with purple up lights, but the photographer complained that pictures aren't coming out well because of the up lights. Dunia called the flower vendor immediately to figure out how to change the color of the up lights and coordinated with the photographer to change the color of the lights only during key picture-moments such as the cake cutting, first dance and etc. I also had a guest who brought extra family members without prior notice. Dunia quickly figured out the guests who didn't attend the wedding to shift around the sitting and dinner orders to accommodate everyone who attended. Without Dunia and Mandy's help, I would have been under so much stress on my wedding day. Thanks to these ladies, my wedding went very smoothly, and I was completely stress-free. After the wedding, Dunia also sent me a lot of great pictures she took with her cell phone on the weeding day. If I can do my wedding all over again, I will definitely work with Dunia and Mandy again, and I would surely recommend them to all my acquaintances."

"Dunia and Mandy were my wedding coordinators just 3 weeks ago and my wedding went very close to absolutely perfect, granted nothing is perfect, it was damn close. They made sure i wasn't stressed out and that everything ran on time. Timeline was made and edited to our preference as many times as it took to get it right for our needs and that made all the difference. One thing that particularly stood out to me was when I needed help with something to be delivered the night before and even though both girls were busy, one of them sent their husband to handle the job quickly and efficiently. Totally awesome. Their only concern was that we were stress free and that's what mattered to us most. Our wedding turned out beautiful! Thank you Dunia and Mandy for being so awesome!!!"

"Let me start by saying that I never write reviews. However, when it came to our special day and the incredible job that Platinum Events Bay Area did, I had to shout it from the rooftops! We had the pleasure of working with Platinum Events Bay Area for our special day and they were awesome! From the start, we knew that they would do a great job. Dunia and Mandy are a joy to work with. They are efficient, punctual, responsible, kind, caring, professional, and truly dedicated to their work but most importantly, to making sure that the couple is happy and comfortable on their wedding day. Dunia and Mandy went above and beyond on our special day and our day went smoothly. We had a large wedding and everyone was properly seated, details were attended to and we were not only on schedule, but ahead of schedule. We highly recommend Platinum Events Bay Area for your special day. One of the most important features of this dynamic duo is that they treat you as if you are their friends! Not only did we have a smooth wedding, thanks to Platinum Events Bay Area, but we gained 2 amazing friends that we will recommend to future couples getting married!"

"We had Platinum Events coordinate our wedding day, and we absolutely loved working with this vendor. On our wedding day, everything was on time and all the vendors were on the same page because of our AMAZING coordinators!
Dunia is a great coordinator who treats her clients like a family member. The quality of the service she provided us was above and beyond anything that we expected. She was always very responsive to our emails and messages. She even came to my house before the wedding ceremony and made sure my bridal party and I arrived to the ceremony on time. Dunia and Mandy are very nice, friendly, and easy to work with. Its a big deal to have a coordinator who loves her/his job because if your wedding coordinator is unfriendly and difficult to work with, you will be unhappy and VERY stressed! We were very relaxed on our wedding day because we knew Dunia and Mandy were there to help us. If you wish to have a wedding of your dreams and be able to enjoy your wedding day (which by the way flies by very fast), then you absolutely need to hire Platinum Events! Sit back and enjoy your BIG day and have professionals handle the rest! We loved working with Dunia and Mandy and we will be forever grateful for having the pleasure to work with these beautiful ladies! Thank you Platinum Events! Stay AMAZING! We love you. :-)"

"I am so incredibly blessed to have met Dunia! Planning my wedding was excitement and stress all in one. I decided to hire Platinum Events to help with coordinating my wedding and was I in for an amazing surprise! First off, Dunia is such an organized, detailed, kindest, funniest person ever! I fell in love with her and her work ethic. She made sure everything was PERFECT the day of our wedding. Our wedding was on time and no one that was a part of our wedding was stressed out thanks to Dunia and Mandy. They made sure vendors had the wedding timeline and every single thing was on time. For an Assyrian wedding, that's unheard of! One thing I will never forget is that even through my excitement and happiness, I was so nervous and anxious, Dunia made sure I was okay. In the morning, she came to our hotel room and ordered me breakfast and even helped me to just relax and breathe. She sat down and just held my hand like a best friend would the day of your wedding. I cannot envision a wedding without Dunia and Mandy! Thank you both for everything!"

"Planning a wedding is such a stressful life event, but luckily Dunia and Mandy are there to save the day!! :) I can't say enough about our wedding coordinators, Dunia and Mandy from Platinum Events. Their help and expertise with our big event was truly incredible. Thanks to Dunia & Mandy and the services they provided, Ren and I had the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding included a weekend full of well thought-out events. From the rehearsal day run-through and nighttime Sangeet/ mehendi to the wedding ceremony and reception, Dunia executed the vision and details every step of the way. As conductors of the big day, Dunia and Mandy managed the timeline, set-up and break down of ceremony and reception spaces, directed vendors, fielded questions from guests, and much, much more. Because of them, we breezed through the day and didn't have to think about what was going on outside while we were getting ready. We were truly free to enjoy the fun of getting married. We are beyond grateful for what Dunia and Mandy did for our wedding."
