    Marilyn was amazing !!!

    Marilyn was amazing. She completely exceeded my expectations for all the flowers, decorations and design. She was very responsive and kept me calmed when I needed. She worked with all the vendors and dealt with any issue that came up quickly. She made my Pinterest boards come to life! She made the whole process very very easy and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner to work with. Hire her!!

    Marilyn made our wedding day stress free!

    Marilyn was so easy to work with! We did the full planning and she also did our florals. She found us the perfect wedding venue and helped us narrow down all of the vendors from the hundreds in the area. All of her recommendations were great and she had worked with them previously. She reached out to them to give them all the info they needed, so I did not have to do much to communicate with them in the weeks before the wedding, which was AMAZING. I felt like I did not have to really worry on the day of. We also went with her for our florals which were so affordable and beautiful. She is worth it, friends!!

    Lifesaver, best wedding vendor

    I planned my wedding myself so it was truly life changing to have Marylin as my coordinator. I already had my vision she just helped make it go smoothly. She helped coordinate the vendors so I was drowning in calls and e-mails. She helped me think of things that as someone who has never thrown a big party before didn't know to do. Really allowed me to just enjoy my night and making the end months of planning way less stressful. Plus she has rentals so I didn't have to find yet another vendor for that.

    Phenomenal Wedding Coordination - 10 stars

    Marilyn was by far the best coordinator I could have ever wished for. She is THE person who made my wedding day run smoothly. I booked her for day of coordination but she assisted me with so much more. Anything I needed up to 3 months prior to the wedding she was my right hand girl. She even drove in to help run the rehearsal practice the night before the wedding. She even went so far as to organize special alone time for me and my husband after the ceremony/pictures, prior to the reception starting for us to soak it all in. She went out of her way to bring us drinks and appetizers from our cocktail hour during this time. Working with Marilyn was truly a dream. As soon as I told her any opinions or preferences I had, she made sure the job got done. If you're considering booking her, your search has come to an end. You've found your girl!

    Fantastic!

    I hired Marilyn for day-of and she went above and beyond! About once a month for a while before, she checked in on us and even after the freeze in Houston, made sure we were doing okay! She helped everything go so smoothly for the day of the rehearsal and wedding :)

    Best day Ever

    Marilyn was the absolute best. She was so kind and patient with me! She literally came in and saved the day for my wedding, on short notice and pulled it off seamlessly! Everything was exactly how I envisioned it, it was a dream day and it was thanks to her!

    Fantastic!

    Marilyn was great! I sent her my inspiration pics, we talked budget, she shot back a few more to fine tune the vision and generate ideas then I was blown away on my wedding day. Only regret is I didn't bask in the beauty of my flowers more!

    Perfection!!!

    You couldn’t find a better wedding planner/florist/decorator if you tried! I’m an out of state bride and she helped bring my entire vision come to life from photos and a quick venue walk. Her flexibility is amazing and she was always willing to help me when I called or need to come in town to meet. I would highly recommend Marilyn to everybody she is well worth the money.

    Great value for an invaluable resource

    Marilyn was an amazing part of (and leading up to) our wedding day. She kept everything under control, was able to adapt to changes last minute, and gave me confidence along the way that everything was handled. When I had random or seemingly dumb questions she was always there to offer up advice or help me brainstorm ideas. I will recommend a day of planner to every bride I ever meet and for all those able, choose Marilyn!

    Better than a therapist

    After postponing our wedding twice due to COVID, we decided to have something local. Through google, I found Marilyn and I’ve never been more grateful. She was full of ideas , flexible, understanding, attentive and beyond thoughtful. The wedding was fantastic and I was able to enjoy it vs running around playing hostess as my usual. She took care of everything and allowed me to relax. Forever grateful.

    Excellent wedding planning!

    Marilyn was our day-of wedding planner in June 2021. Everything, from our wedding ceremony to the reception, before, during and after, went so smoothly with her help! She was very organized and communicated with us and our other vendors regularly and promptly. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else looking for a wedding planner!!!

    Professional & Personable

    Marilyn was professional, prompt and friendly! She even recommended a venue that had reasonably priced backdrops and sweetheart chairs that We used for our reception. Marilyn also helped with my favors and communicated well with the other vendors. Additionally, this talented experienced woman did a last minute scheduled visit to meet with our venue for decor! Her connections are also impressive. I highly recommend using her as a coordinator for your wedding! It’s your loss if you don’t.

    Saving the Day Last Minute

    Marilyn swooped into our wedding planning process last minute and knocked day of coordination out of the park!

    She’s the biggest reason we got to actually ENJOY our day and I can’t recommend her enough!

    Incredible!!

    Marilyn was incredible! We had her through the entire planning process (over a year long) from finding the venue and all other vendors, and even through a postponement due to Covid, which meant we had to get all vendors to reschedule too. We were planning this Texas wedding from Colorado. My biggest concern was budget, and I knew If I tried to do it all by myself I would end up spending way more. I expressed this on my initial call with Marilyn and she assured me that she would keep me in my budget and she 100% did. She wants your vision to come to life and was able to do that. She has connections to other vendors that certainly helped as well. Marilyn went to venues and took videos when I couldn’t, she was great with communication and was so incredibly patient with me. Luckily I married the man of my dreams and won’t ever have to do this again, but if you are having any hesitations on hiring a planner, I would recommend Marilyn to anybody.

    Incredible for Day-Of Planning

    Our day went so smoothly because of Marilyn! We hired her for day-of wedding coordination and I don't know what we would have done without her. Everything flowed seamlessly. I was free to enjoy the wedding while Marilyn took care of everything. She had our reception set up exactly how I wanted it. If you're on the fence about hiring a day-of wedding planner, I will tell you now that hiring Marilyn was extremely worth it and helped us have a beautiful and relaxing wedding experience.

    Beyond Our Dreams!

    Never once did Marilyn hesitate to deliver results! She respected my vision as well as budget. She always remained reassuring and caring of my wishes. Her connections within the industry are impressive! Because of her, my husband and I are able to have a lifetime of unforgettable memories! I highly recommend you trust Marilyn with your special day!
