YOU ARE KNOWN FOR YOUR DESIGN SENSIBILITY, WITH NO TWO WEDDINGS ALIKE! CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT A RECENT FAVORITE?
I love Gabby and Nick’s wedding! The couple had a gorgeous ceremony—they got married under trees, and we brought in vintage pottery that framed the aisle. The bride collected vintage dishes to place over the beautiful bars (and I love anything vintage). We mixed furniture and linens and fresh fruits on the table. When it was time for the reception, we created a very cool reveal of an automatic curtain that raised slowly to introduce the guests to the party… it was wow!

Another recent wedding that I just love is Alison and Jason’s wedding that took place in Malibu, California …SO many details. We rented a private property so we had a blank palette to work with and boy, we filled it with so many moments. We were able to rent a beautiful glass greenhouse tent. We added a lattice entrance and rented a gorgeous green Austin Healy (a British Green that we used to match all items that were green!). We also created a custom-built, sunk-in step-down black and white dance floor and a custom black and white stripe canopy over the guests’ bar. The bride’s favorite, lily of the valley, was delicately placed within all the flowers.

WHERE WILL YOUR CLIENTS BE CELEBRATING THIS YEAR?
This year I’ll be producing events at Four Seasons George V (Paris), Maravilla (Cabo), The Ocean Club (Bahamas), Montage Palmetto Bluff (South Carolina), a private home (South Hampton), Rubell Museum (Miami), and Edgewood Tahoe Resort (Lake Tahoe). We have an event in Aspen, Colorado, and of course, plenty of parties and weddings in Southern California, where I’m based.
AS SOMEONE WHO HAS TRAVELED THE GLOBE, WHERE WOULD YOU LOVE TO PRODUCE AN EVENT?
I would love to create something special at Blackberry Farm in the South or in Italy at a property I haven’t worked at yet, Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco.
ANY TREND PREDICTIONS FOR 2024?
Well, I don’t know what others might have up their sleeves, but I’m hoping to create some gorgeous, more minimalistic experiences if my clients will allow me. I want to create more of an art experience…but let’s wait and see!

WHAT’S COMING UP FOR MINDY WEISS THAT YOU’RE EXCITED ABOUT?
I am so grateful, I have so many wonderful opportunities this year. I have a partnership with Mark & Graham, a curated collection of wedding invitations with Minted, and some really special events all over the world, and I rented a private villa in Tuscany for my family and me to actually get a vacation. I can’t wait to spend time with them, it’s going to be a very special experience for all of us.
