I was lucky enough to work with a MAVEN day-of coordinator for my wedding at The Neu Neu and also have MAVEN work on the décor/florals. Steph and Rachel are extremely passionate about what they do, and about ensuring a quality experience for couples and their guests. Steph was integral to the day's schedule, keeping us all on task/time and going above and beyond even when things beyond our control went wrong (cleaning up broken glass, eek!). Responsiveness was fantastic throughout, which I appreciated as an anxious person/bride, but there was truly nothing to worry about - they are so professional, good and caring. They want the best for you!

I’ll start with the fact that I am a designer and photo art director — in other words, I’m very picky. :) I’ve dreamt about designing my wedding since I was little. The flowers, the table settings, the little details are all very important to me, which is why I originally hired MAVEN. Long story short, we had quite a few wrenches thrown at us when planning our wedding (COVID, switching venues the day before, vendors dropping out last minute). The MAVEN team was incredibly understanding and flexible. I had the most beautiful bouquet I think I’ve ever seen at our small ceremony last year and it was personally delivered to my home the morning of. When we decided that we wanted to do a smaller reception a year later and cancel our big postponed plans, MAVEN was once again very flexible. They worked with me on rearranging our budget to accommodate our new plans. Being exhausted with wedding planning, I trusted them with the full vision of our event and I am so happy I did. They handled everything — table and chair rentals, table settings, floral arrangements, etc. This took so much off my plate and I was able to focus on a morning with my bridesmaids while they set everything up. The team is so talented, kind, professional and thoughtful. I cannot thank them enough for all that they did. With all of the things that fell through for us over the past year, the little details that they put extra thought into was what made us feel like we truly got the wedding of our dreams. 100/10 recommend. I hope to find an excuse to work with them again one day!

Working with MAVEN was such a great experience! We worked with Steph as our lead coordinator and I could not speak more highly of her! Her communication and organization was amazing, and I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. She went above and beyond the day of, and we had so many great meetings with her beforehand. We even had friends/family comment how helpful she was throughout the wedding day! Thank you Steph, and the entire Maven team! Your wedding will be in good hands with them!

Megan Keiser

We were able to work with a MAVEN (Jordan) as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at The Neu Neu. I'm absolutely blown away by everything Jordan did for us. She is organized, thoughtful and incredibly detail-oriented. She was so helpful in every planning meeting we had before our wedding, making sure every detail was thought through and ensuring all of my questions were answered. And she really went above and beyond day of - we brought a lot of decor in ourselves and she set everything up so beautifully and handled vendor coordination flawlessly. I was able to sit back and enjoy the day, fully confident that she would handle anything that came her way. I still have family and friends talking about how great she is - we truly could not have done this without her and are so grateful to Jordan and the MAVEN team for their hard work and thoughtfulness.

The Maven team did such a wonderful job throughout our wedding planning process and made the day-of seamless! Kati and the team are true visionaries with floral and space design! After our first meeting with her, she crafted beautiful bouquets, a magical backdrop for the ceremony and the band, and pulled everything together with candles to reflect the Luminary Loppet atmosphere we were going for! Shaley and the coordination team made everything perfect! From walking us through the planning stage, to coordinating the day-of timeline, including the vendors, to managing people we could send her way during the wedding and reception, we couldn't have asked for a more relaxed wedding experience! I would strongly suggest working with the Maven team for a wedding, or any event! Their professionalism was top-notch, they're all very personable and caring, and they made for a very fun experience!

Anna Waggener

My partner and I engaged Maven as our day-of coordinator back in 2019 for a 2020 wedding, which we had to postpone. Flash forward to 2022, and Steph was assigned to our event. She was an amazing partner throughout the process, meeting with us in person and by Zoom multiple times to make sure all the details were communicated and we felt comfortable handing things over to her for the day. We also felt that she really got the kind of event we were trying to deliver for our guests, and made suggestions that honored that vision. Day-of, Steph was very present and warm, and she coordinated across all of our vendors to pull off the day and make sure music cues and other details went smoothly. She always had a smile on her face, and if we had any requests, she was able to figure them out. We could not have been happier and we would recommend Maven--and especially Steph, who is a joy to work with--for future events!

Maren Flom

Stephanie and Alyssa were so professional, so helpful, and had things running so smoothly for our wedding! Steph’s support throughout the final month countdown was the best way to settle any sort of wedding nerves or stress about the big day. Steph set everything up so nicely, and even without doing a ceremony rehearsal, our ceremony flowed perfectly because of the confidence and direction of Steph. We never felt rushed or stressed, which is something that I’m SO thankful for. And at the end of the evening, the tear down went so fast due to Steph’s and Alyssa’s hard work. I am so happy with how everything turned out and I couldn’t have done it without MAVEN. Thank you so much for everything!! Cannot recommend MAVEN enough!!!

Kendall Snyder

We worked with Maven for our wedding floral and they made the entire planning process enjoyable and easy! I did a customized wedding package, with partial design and floral included. The team was readily available by email for communication. I met with their team several times leading up to the wedding to review the design and floral because I was a little anxious about my vision (i have zero design talent), and they were wonderful about listening to what I like and dont like in design/floral. They put together a beautiful ceremony backdrop, stunning bouquets, and gorgeous head table for me, and they assisted with day of set up and design to take the pressure off of my friends and family. Thank you!

Uli Martinez

We have had the pleasure of working alongside the MAVEN team for the better part of five years and can not recommend them enough. Upon meeting them, and working a few events along side their team, I was impressed with their professionalism, organization, and commitment to executing impeccable events, while providing the best possible service to all guests and stakeholders. At first, I thought it was just a couple of superstars that I had been randomly paired up with. But, after working dozens of events, alongside countless MAVEN coordinators and leaders, I realized that they were ALL THAT GOOD. This is clearly a testament to their careful dedication to attracting the right talent, providing top-notch training, and having an unwavering attention to detail that has become so rare in this day and age, regardless of industry. On top of all of this, they are kind, friendly, fun to work with, and genuinely good people. You''ll be hard pressed to find a more committed and talented group of people to execute your event.

Danielle Haller

Rachel and Alyssa were our coordinators 5.28.22 and they did an incredible job. They were on top if everything, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, checking in vendors and entertainment, making sure things were packed up and ready for us to go. Our night would not have gone half as smoothly without them. Cannot recommend their services more.

Elayna Waxse

Steph at MAVEN was our wedding coordinator, and she was amazing! She was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout all my questions, issues, and last minute requests (including using her phone for our grand entrance and for dinner music when we had DJ issues at the last minute!!) I would highly recommend her as a wedding coordinator, I felt like she had our back the entire time.

Michael Travaline

We used MAVEN for a destination wedding and worked directly with Kelly throughout the process. I could not imagine working with anyone else. Kelly was able to guide us throughout the planning process and navigate a complicated web of international vendors. In the end, every aspect of our wedding surpassed our expectations and we could not imagine having a smoother and more enjoyable wedding day. I could not recommend using MAVEN enough!

Matt Scauzillo

So happy we had Maven help us with our wedding! From start to finish, the entire staff was helpful and attentive. Communication was a breeze. They responded timely to all emails and had great suggestions. They did a great job the day of the wedding making sure everything ran smoothly. I especially liked how they worked behind the scenes and handled everything themselves - you really learn to appreciate that during the wedding process. Danielle was our day-of coordinator and she was fantastic! We also had help from Shaley, Abby, and Hannah - amazing job! I would recommend Maven's Day-Of Coordination services to anyone who wants their wedding to look beautiful, run smoothly, and just be a great day in general.

Emily Dunne

Maven is a one-stop shop for the most divine, offbeat floral & decor as well as flawless event coordination. Kelly and the team of Mavens are an absolute pleasure to work with, both personally and professionally. My husband and I are in the events business and have worked with the Mavens many times over the years. When it was time to plan our own wedding, we immediately reached out to Kelly, knowing she would make every detail more beautiful than we could have imagined ourselves. She delivered. (And then some!) Kelly brought our vision to life and made the day an absolute breeze. I could go on forever here...but suffice it to say that this is the team you want in your corner on your big day.

Anna Sutton

We worked with MAVEN for our day-of coordination and florals for our wedding. We couldn't have been happier. The gals we worked with were very thorough with everything that we needed. Communication was timely throughout the whole process. Our flowers were, as expected, incredible and if there were any hiccups in our day, we don't know what they were! We got to completely focus on one another on our wedding day. MAVEN took so much stress out of the wedding-planning process for us. We highly recommend working with MAVEN for your wedding or any large-event needs.

Paige Wingate

I got married in May 2019 and used Maven for my flowers and event coordination- I can't say enough good things about them! I could hardly believe that I was at my own wedding- I was beyond impressed with out the space and decorations turned out! Thank you so much for all your help. Abby was our day of coordinator and did a wonderful job. She took the stress out of the day, and everything ran as smoothly as possible. It definitely wouldn't have been the same without Abby. I will forever look back on our wedding day as the perfect day- thank you Maven and Abby for helping make it happen.

J Nelson

Rachel and Anna with MAVEN Styling were amazing! They were my day-of event coordinators for a rehearsal dinner we held at the Neu Neu in Minneapolis. I could never have gotten through my event successfully without them! They made suggestions about details I overlooked and went above and beyond with helping me feel comfortable with the plan. Most importantly, I was able to completely enjoy my event just as much as my guests did because they kept tabs on the timeline and every detail. On top of all that, they were both delightful women! I truly enjoyed working with them. Thank you Rachel and Anna!!

Amanda Brown

We could not have had a wedding as beautiful and (in the end) stress free without Maven. We worked with them on design, florals, and day-of coordination, and for almost a year, answered every question I had and kept me calm and confident my wedding would happen even as I planned in the midst of COVID. The final day was exactly the wedding I wanted - they completely brought it to life. Specifically, Rachael and Shaley, our floral designer and head designer, made our wedding absolutely stunning. It was exactly what we pictured when we first started planning but also somehow better?! The florals were incredible and every detail was so beautiful and unique and cool. When we got our photos back, we just marveled again at how well everything came together. Shaley did our initial design and connected us with all the vendors to make it happen, and Rachael took that initial design and ran with it in her final florals. We also worked with Calley for our day-of coordination, and she made sure everything went amazingly smoothly. She was somehow invisible but everywhere during the night! She made sure everything ran on time, looked great, and even that my husband and I got to eat all the food we wanted. She helped us get through our final month of planning with our sanity intact and made sure everything came together in the end.

Andrea Pokorney

LOVED working with Maven on my June 2019 wedding at Paikka in St. Paul. Not only did they do the most beautiful flowers for my bridal bouquet and boutonnieres, they did a crazy awesome installation above our sweetheart table. We also hired Maven to do our day-of coordinating for the whole wedding. Danielle was my coordinator and met with us multiple times and guided us through the process of the ceremony and reception. She was fantastic! She understood what we wanted and asked all the right questions. I would 10/10 use them again for any event big or small. xoxo - Andrea

Deciding to use MAVEN during our wedding planning was the best decision we made all year (besides the decision to get married, of course). We had our December 8th wedding at 514 Studios Event Center, which includes Day of Coordination through MAVEN, so that’s how we learned about them. As wedding planning got more stressful, we decided to add on MAVEN’s Design Package, and we are so happy we did. Shaley was incredible - we got to meet with her in person where she attentively listened to our ideas and came up with a few of her own to make our day and space really unique and beautiful! Not only do they help with tangible design details like floral and stationery, they can help with other more intangible things like order of events. Through all of our conversations and emails, we could tell they are a very professional group who are experts in their field. They handled every question and worry we threw at them with ease and reassurance. We booked floral and nearly all of our decor including all the table centerpieces through them. When we saw the space the day of, we were floored - everything came together perfectly and the space looked like “us”, not just another cookie cutter wedding. And the best part was that they took care of all of the set-up and tear down, which meant less stress for our families, and more time to enjoy the day! Huge shoutout to our amazing Day of Coordinator, Kalie, for knowing exactly what needed to happen and timing everything perfectly. We felt so secure in her hands, and she was an absolute joy to work with as well! Also thanks to Linda (floral design) and all the other MAVENs who helped deliver, set up, flip, and tear down the space. If you’re on the fence about booking MAVEN, DO IT NOW. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re having fun instead of stressing on the best day of your life.

I could not be more thankful for everything that Maven did to make our wedding day special, from the coordination down to the design and rentals. I decided early on that I would need help with planning and design, and got lucky enough to sign on with Maven after much delay on my behalf. Kelly, Shaley, Mackenzie and Hannah were all amazing. Kelly (the mastermind who created this business) is the type of person that you wish you were friends with as soon as you meet her, she is AWESOME. Mackenzie was our day of coordinator, with Hannah as her assistant, and the two of them truly went above and beyond my expectations. Everything went perfectly from my point of view, and I was able to make it through the entire day without feeling ANY stress. My main goal for the day (other than getting married) was for all of our family (and friends) to be able to show up and celebrate with us without feeling any obligation to do anything, and I don’t think it could have gone any better. We had one snafu with forgetting our child’s car seat at our hotel, and Hannah offered to go and get it for us without question -- a total lifesaver, literally. Any time we needed something, they were there to help and I truly don’t know how we would have done it without them. I can’t praise them enough and have already recommended them to others who are also planning their weddings in the Twin Cities. We received many compliments on our day and we owe it to Maven for bringing it all together for us flawlessly. I wish we could have another wedding just to enlist their help again. THANK YOU GUYS!

Krishnan Margabandhu

We worked with Maven for day of coordination and floral services for our wedding. Shaley was willing to meet with us a couple times to understand how they could help bring our special day to life! We were having a modified Hindu wedding ceremony and hoped to incorporate a lot of flowers and colors at our wedding venue, Paikka. Shaley reassured us that they would be able to deliver something great based upon our wishes! Iselin was our wedding coordinator and met with me and my husband several weeks before our wedding day. Iselin was great to work with and took time to understand us as a couple and what kind of event we were hoping to have! Iselin happily consulted on many aspects of our wedding day and always at arms-length if we had a question or wanted her input on something. A couple weeks before our wedding day, Iselin took over communication with our wedding vendors so that we could focus on the last minute details, which was a huge relief and made our wedding-day stress free! On the day of the wedding, my husband and I finally go to see the floral arrangements and we were blown away! The arrangements and décor did not disappoint and added lots of special touches around the venue. Maven did an amazing job executing the idea we had for the wedding and to this day our wedding guests are still talking about how wonderful the floral decorations were. We were extremely pleased with how everything came together and we couldn't have asked for a more thorough partners through Shaley than Iselin! You can put your trust in Maven – we highly recommend them for your wedding needs!

Casey Moore

We worked with Shaley at MAVEN on our design and day-of-coordination for our wedding. Shaley really listened and understood our vision and made it come to life. She made our entire day run smoothly and made sure that every detail was figured out — everything looked absolutely perfect! We owe it all to her and the wonderful Maven team. The only thing I wish I would've done is hire them sooner! I absolutely recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding!

Kelsey Hewitt

As many before us have said, hiring the MAVEN team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! Shaley and Genevieve were the dream team when it came to Day of Coordination and Florals :) Looking back on our wedding day, I don't think my groom and I or my family would have been able to enjoy the day as much without Shaley's constant attention to detail. From coordinating all of the vendors to making sure we never went without a drink in our hand while we were busy talking to our guests - she truly thought of it all!! Not to mention she handled the million questions a bride can throw her way with ease :) As for Genevieve and the floral team, they took a theme and a couple Pinterest photos and made our dreams come true! We will never forget the room reveal at our venue and how in awe we were that this was OUR wedding and that they were able to transform the space so beautifully. From the bridal bouquets to the floral arch, everything was special and made just for us!! The MAVEN team is a no brainer for your Wedding Day :)

Camille Sanzi

The MAVEN team was professional, friendly and creative throughout our entire wedding planning process and was committed to ensuring our vision came to life. The team communicated clearly and often, which was much appreciated during what was a tough and uncertain time to plan a wedding and the floral on the day of was even more beautiful than we hoped.

Lizzi Whittlesey

Maven did the flowers for our October 2019 wedding. I was horrible at providing direction and just sent them my Pinterest board and told them "I trust your judgement." And I'm so glad I did!!! What they put together was not what I would have picked out for myself, but it was perfect. The bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning, and they did a great job adding small arrangements, candles and greens throughout the venue to add texture and color. Working with them was also a breeze - they were super responsive and answered all of my questions with helpful advice. Thank you mavens!!!

Laura Wahl

I was absolutely blown away by the floral design by Maven for our wedding! Everything was so beautiful and better than I could have imagined. Kati was extremely helpful and accommodating when dealing with our covid changes and adjustments. We will look back at our wedding photos and forever admire our flowers!! Can’t thank Maven enough!

Rose Hruska

Maven provided day of coordination and floral services for our wedding. They were so easy to work with and everything turned out wonderfully! Our coordinator, Abby, was super helpful and helped our wedding day go smoother than I could have imagined.

Victoria Fahey

WE LOVE MAVEN. Booking them for floral and day of coordination was the best decision ever. Genevieve made all my floral dreams come true and Shaley made sure that everything was executed flawlessly. Our day was absolutely perfect and it wouldn’t have been possible without them. Not only are they incredibly talented, they are wonderful people. We instantly felt a connection with them and knew that we would be in good hands on the big day. Pricing was also super reasonable!! The night of my wedding, I remember thinking, how did we afford all this!!?? We told them what we wanted to spend (thinking it wouldn’t get us much) and it turned out so much better than we could have ever imagined. I also think that having a day of coordinator (specifically Shaley:)) is a NECESSITY. I’ve been to many weddings where family and friends are stressed trying to make sure everything runs smoothly, but that was not the case at our wedding. Shaley took care of everything and everyone was happy and stress free all day. Hire the Mavens, you won’t regret it.

Molly Stowers

Kalie was our coordinator at 514 Studios in September of 2018 and she could not have been more helpful. It was so nice to have someone else calling the shots on the day of our wedding so we could relax and enjoy the day. She created our timeline for the day, put together our floor plans and oversaw the room flip between the ceremony and reception so we could spend time together once we got married. Additionally, she was our main POC for all of our vendors the day of the wedding, which helped us be able to focus on having fun, rather than small details. Kalie- You're amazing and we love you. :-)

Erin Woodward

Maven turned my wedding day visions into a beautiful reality in such a way that I didn't have to stress about a thing. They paid close attention to every detail, including those I never would have thought of. We had a tight budget so everything was very DIY and required a lot of hands-on help. Maven coordinated everything so flawlessly and beautifully that upon seeing their work, I could not believe what they were able to do with the time and resources available to them. I found the team to be extremely reliable, responsive and helpful, no matter my question or concern. I trusted their guidance and I was right to do so - they are professionals through and through. I would recommend them to anyone I know!

Heidi Brink

We had Alison as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at 514 Studios last weekend and we honestly don't know what we would have done without her. She is so cool, calm and collected. She made the whole day run 100% according to plan and just relieved any and all stress we were having. She was an irreplaceable part of our big day and everyone was raving about how amazing she was. We even felt like we had made a friend by the end of the night :)

Alli Snoxell

We worked with Bre on our wedding day-of coordination and she was amazing. She was responsive in the time leading up to our wedding, and helped answer questions and provide guidance when we needed it during the planning process. Bre was so organized down to every tiny detail of our big day. On the wedding day, we were amazed at how smoothly everything went and how little we had to think about any of it. Every time I saw Bre throughout the night, she was always a calm, reassuring presence. We would recommend her and MAVEN a million times over! We don't know how we would have done it without them. Thank you!!

Rachel Seifert

I have rented the MAVEN studio for several photo shoots as well as events and the MAVEN team has been simply amazing every single time we have worked together. Always so kind, helpful and generous allowed us to create in their space. These gals are the best and by far one of the most creative and talented teams in the cities!

Natalie Bowers

Maven has such a wonderful team! Their expertise in planning and event design is unparalleled. Can't wait to work with them again!

Kylee Bryson

Kelly & Iselin were wonderful to work with. We got our details to them fairly late and they were able to execute everything flawlessly, even our on-site changes :) Their design and pricing are also wonderful.
