Moxie Events

My son and daughter in law used Shelly, and Moxie events for their recent wedding. It was an amazing affair. There was record heat that weekend, and Shelly kept her cool literally and figuratively to seamlessly fix little things while the bride and groom were focusing on themselves and their wedding day. I had recommended that they use a wedding planner, but didn’t know just how good Moxie Events was until that weekend, although I had suspected as much as the bride described meetings with Shelly in the months leading up to last weekend. Shelly coordinated the rehearsal dinner (at the wedding venue), as well as the wedding. There were separate rentals for each event, and set up and take down of all of those. In 100+ degree heat.
Bravo. I do quite a bit of entertaining, and have been to elaborate and beautiful affairs. This was the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended.

From my first meeting with Heidi, I knew she would be great to work with. She is a great listener, gives helpful advice & is a fun personality to boot.
We planned our Eugene wedding from Portland, and I was daunted by the prospect of researching & meeting with various vendors in Eugene. Heidi was able to provide suggestions for everything, many vendors of which she already had good working relationships. I would drive down to Eugene, she would have all our appts. booked & she would tote me around town meeting with potential vendors.
At first, I felt like a «deer in head lights» when vendors would drill me about my ideas for the wedding. Thankfully, Heidi already knew what I was going for, & would be able to «fill in» if I was lost or overwhelmed.
During the wedding planning process, Heidi was ready to assist with any questions or concerns that came up. She also made sure we didn’t overlook anything important. As organized as I am, I definitely felt like I was «winging it,» and it was nice to rely on her experience to rest-​assured that it would all work out.
The day of the wedding, Heidi & her Moxie staff set the tables, staged the welcome tables, bars, kids’ area & dessert tables, hung the paper crane backdrop & addressed every detail in between. It was SO nice to able to relax the day of the wedding & get ready knowing that Heidi & her crew were at the site, taking care of everything we had planned, and anything else that might have come up.
The ceremony & reception were obviously a blur, but a «happy, relaxed blur,» knowing that Heidi & her staff were there to make sure everything was taken care of.
The most common feedback we received from our guests was, «Best wedding ever.» I may be biased, but I thought it went rather well. ;) Thank you, Heidi & Moxie Events!

I would highly recommend the gals at Moxie to help in coordinating your wedding or other special event. Heidi and Shelly are professional, caring, talented, creative, and fun! They helped us to create the wedding of our dreams!
Our wedding was at the property of a family friend and we needed to create the venue from scratch and deal with a lot of logistical issues to make things happen the way we wanted. Heidi was amazing in guiding us through the process. My husband and I are both very organized and used to planning and executing projects, but I don’t know what we would have done without Moxie. Their experience working with vendors and the logistics of a large event is invaluable. Heidi worked with us every step of the way to make sure we didn’t forget any details that needed covered and helped provide that peace of mind that there wouldn’t be any surprises… and if there are (as there are at any event the day of!) Heidi and Shelly plus their team of people are right there to deal with it smoothly and professionally. I felt more than comfortable letting go of the details before the rehearsal and just letting the weekend flow and I knew Heidi and Shelly would deal with any details that came up. And they did! Moxie’s day of coordination is top notch. So many guests commented to us that the wedding and reception were amazing and they marveled at how it all seemed so effortless — and we know that is all due to the behind the scenes work by Heidi and Shelly.
Moxie will help make sure your wedding is your vision and they will enhance every detail of your day. They work cooperatively with all other vendors and are well worth the money. They are easy to work with and responsive to customer needs and preferences. I can’t recommend them enough!

Shelly and her crew at Moxie Events are absolutely amazing. This summer they coordinated my wedding with consummate professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, grace, flexibility, sensitivity, and elegance.
As a former event planner and lifelong perfectionist, I had very high standards for my wedding. From ensuring every detail was planned in advance to perfectly setting up the reception space, the Moxie team went above and beyond. I particularly appreciated how discretely, quickly and thoughtfully trouble-​shooted unanticipated issues as the arose (EVERY event has a few unexpected hiccups, but thanks to Moxie none of my guests had any idea and I didn’t have to deal with anything!).
Shelly was absolutely wonderful to work with– fun, supportive, creative and thorough.
Moxie Events exceeded my expectations in every way.

From the Bride:
We recently moved to Colorado soon after we were engaged, and knew that we had to plan our wedding in Oregon, where my husband and I are both from. Originally we thought we could do it all ourselves in order to save money, but after attending my cousin’s wedding in the summer, we knew we needed some help– especially since we were planning long distance. We recruited Heidi and Shelly to help us about 4 months away from the date of our wedding (after many of our vendors sang their praises when we asked for recommendations). Boy, were they right! Heidi and Shelly are AMAZING and worth every penny and then some. We ended up having to change our venue last minute and they were able to take it in stride. Many of our guests said that it was the most beautiful wedding they had attended, and I can’t help but say that it was all Moxie! We will never forget our special day and we are so grateful to have had the experience of working with the best wedding planners money can buy. If I can give brides one piece of advice: hire a Moxie planner, you won’t regret it.
From the Groom:
Planning a wedding from 1500 miles is a daunting task, but Shelly and Heidi made it extremely easy. They were very accommodating, taking time out of their busy schedules to Skype with us to make sure we covered all of the details. They also traveled to our location to draw out a plan for the ceremony and reception. Their help in planning the wedding was awesome, but nothing was greater than providing a peace of mind on our wedding day. They made sure every detail ran smoothly and on time, from the first look to walk down the aisle to cutting of the cake. I can say that my wife can be a worrier, but it was great to see her so relaxed knowing that Heidi and Shelly had everything under control. In my opinion, there are no better wedding planners than Moxie!
