5 Minutes with… Mindy Weiss – the World’s Most Sought-After Celebrity Wedding Planner

26/10/2017 by Karen

Mindy-Weiss-Jewish-weddings
Welcome to our second instalment of ‘Five Minutes With…’ our series that spends five minutes with the Jewish wedding industry’s top-ranking movers and shakers.

Last time, we were falling-off-our-chairs stunned to have the indescribably incredible Ron Ben Israel in our hot seat, and we’re having similar dizzies today because our guest is (and we can’t quite believe it) the absolutely MEGA international celebrity wedding planner and bestselling author Mindy Weiss!!!

Yes, the Mindy Weiss (the one from your bookshelves) is such a bright Jewish wedding industry superstar (as you can tell from our very gratuitous use of exclamation points) that she needs no introduction. But, just because someone doesn’t need an introduction, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve one! 

Mindy Weiss Jewish weddings Based out of Beverly Hills, Mindy Weiss, a member of the tribe, is a full-service event planner, who has successfully grown her brand to become a lifestyle expert with books, product lines and spokesperson partnerships.

Since Mindy started her career in party planning, more than twenty years ago, she has planned celebrations all over the world, and written three bestselling books. THREE! We mere mortals can only gape in awe.

We’re so honored and humbled to host Mindy on the STG pages, and we just know you’ll love her quickfire answers as much as we do.
