Tom is amazing! He did my wedding, my house and my office. He is so talented. Everyone commented on my house and my office how beautiful they are decorated. His vision is wonderful...

Let me just start by saying: If you want to have the most beautiful wedding ever, hire Tom Manikas! There have been very few moments in my life where my breath has been taken away;...
this happened to me twice on our wedding day. I will never forget the way I felt when I walked into the church and reception hall. The only thought that I could process during both of those moments was, "Oh my God. He does not mess around." Tom will take your vision and bring it to a level that will leave you absolutely speechless.
Tom did it all, down to making sure all of the florals were blossomed to perfection (no I'm not joking). His artistic ability and attention to detail are beyond words. He made sure that every member of our bridal party was taken care of, helped my parents with whatever they needed, made sure my dress was pinned in all of the right spots...and the list goes on. Tom, you are a wonderful example of someone who has a God given talent and uses it to bless people every day. You are absolutely amazing in every aspect. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day an event that will always be imprinted in our hearts.
Tom was wonderful. He truly has the gift to manage, execute and create any concept imaginable for one's special day. He transformed a simple space in the Willis Tower into a stunni...
ng, romantic venue.
My guests still comment on how it was one of the most beautiful and well planned weddings they have attended.
I was in a relationship for 7 years before we tied the knot. During those 7 years I have been to numerous weddings in which Tommy was the event planner. I must say that I never lef...
t a wedding disappointed and that's when I knew I absolutely, without a doubt, needed Tommy as my wedding planner.
I had a vision, he brought it to life and then some! It really is that simple with him and what's even better is that you don't even need a vision. He will inspire you with his ideas and help you create one! I gave him my ultimate trust that everything would turn out perfect and I can honestly say it really did!!!
I'm not sure how my wedding would have turned out had Tommy not been my planner, not to mention how stress free I was throughout the entire process! He's smart, funny, tasteful and full of positive energy! There really is no one better to work with during this special time in your life. I promise :)

Tommy was a great help in getting me to achieve the overall vision of my event. His understanding of what I wanted and sharing the same vision really helped in the whole process. ...
He had a perfect grasp on my entire vision/theme and executed it perfectly. I especially had a stress-free day of the wedding.
As many brides can attest to, wedding planning is a stressful and overwhelming time. I started my planning on my own and realized fairly quickly I needed some extra help. I receive...
d Tom's name from a family member who had used him and had sang his praises. As I asked around further, everyone that had used Manikas Designs had been over the moon with what Tom and his team could do.
Looking back now, I have to say that this (hiring Manikas Designs) was the BEST decision I made and subsequently allowed every encounter with every vendor after hiring Tom to run smoothly due to his professionalism, vision and attention to detail. Tom is not just an event planner but an interior designer which allows him to create amazing spaces which will transport your guests to the event of your dreams.
I cannot begin to praise Manikas Designs for everything they did for me. From helping me pick out from the smallest to the biggest details with absolute patience, to making my family feel comfortable, to choosing the right shade of white for my husbands tie, and to even sewing up my dress at the end of the night. No detail was too small and nothing was overlooked. Tom and his team not only were professional but made me feel that my event was the most important one to them. My wedding day was beautiful, calm, and absolutely stress-free and this could not have been possible without Manikas Designs.
