South Florida Wedding Planners
Jennifer Hardiman - Chief Event Officer (CEO)
After 15 years in corporate real estate and being the only female executive in a local real estate development company, Jennifer has created a company that combines all of the things that she loves. Business and project management skills, organization, negotiation and communication skills are necessary to create the perfect day and Jennifer possesses all of these attributes. She has planned weddings, non-profit fundraisers, wedding and baby showers and corporate events. Her degree in English Literature nurtures her creative side, while her business savvy keeps your wedding on budget and on schedule. She takes pride in the ability to provide flawless execution, personalized service and attention to every detail.
During her down time, Jennifer loves to watch college football (Go Seminoles) read (an intense addiction to trashy, romance novels), spend time with her amazing son, enjoy a fabulous meal, travel to far away places and even sometimes take a nap. She is blessed to have the unconditional support of her husband (He even watches Say Yes to the Dress with her and provides expert commentary on the bridal fashion.)
Jennifer donates her time to such groups as Easter Seals, Center for Child Counseling, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Bella's Angels and has a Bachelor of Arts from Rollins College.
Mandi Sewell - Senior Event Officer (SEO)
Mandi joined Fabuluxe Events in 2009 and has been with the company since the beginning. She and Jennifer met when Mandi was still in high school. During the past 10 years, Mandi has worked on over 150 weddings. She is the second lead planner with Fabuluxe Events and brings her creativity to each wedding. In February 2011, Mandi was elected to the Board of AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) of Southeast Florida. Mandi has an Associates Degree from Palm Beach State College.

When Mandi isn't planning fabulous events, you can find her at the gym. In 2013 she decided to pursue her other love...health and fitness.
