Without exaggerating, many guests at our wedding, planned with Marielle's help, went out of their way to tell us that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and we feel the same. We couldn't have planned nor executed such a perfect wedding without Marielle's help, from coordination, timeline planning and recommending amazing vendors, to behind-the-scenes helping whenever it was needed the day-of, Marielle was our life saver when it came to our wedding. Marielle made our wedding day come together, and allowed us to be present and enjoy the day instead of worrying that everything would go according to plan - it just did. Thank you, Marielle, we'll be recommending you to everyone we know who will be getting married in the future!

We recently hired Marielle and her team for our wedding at Graydon Hall, and are so so thankful we did! She helped me narrow down my vision, find the best vendors and was honestly just the kindest person to work with. She listened to me and made every part of my vision come to life!
On the day of, her and her team managed every aspect of the day with confidence, attention to detail and always aware of our needs. BEST decision we made by far! Thank you, Marielle!!

We recently used Marielle for our wedding at Arlington Estate and opted for Partial Planning. From the start, Marielle was very helpful and quick to reply on any questions we had and happy to provide insight and guidance. Her pricing is very reasonable for the services she provides. The day of, she was the star, everything for the day was seamless... we had 0 stress and just got to enjoy the day. She helped set up all of our items throughout the venue and it was perfect when we arrived. She coordinated with all the vendors and made the timeline for the day so we did not have to worry about anything. We opted for an outside ceremony and she quickly realized we were going to get rained on, with her quick actions we were able to move our ceremony start time up slightly to ensure everyone was able to get into the venue before it poured. We have received many compliments on how great our day was and it was thanks to Marielle. We have already recommended her to our friends getting married so they can have a stress free wedding as well, 100% worth the investment!

We are so grateful to Marielle for her help with planning our wedding! We truly had a perfect day in large part thanks to her expertise throughout the process. She was very detailed-oriented in our consultation meeting with her to learn exactly how we envisioned the day. The vendors she connected us with were all amazing. Her recommendations saved us countless hours of searching and gave us peace of mind knowing that we could trust the quality of work that would be delivered. Marielle was very responsive to our questions and saved us from having any stress in the months leading up to our wedding. Her professionalism and expertise really shone through during our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. There were unexpected challenges to navigate with our venue that my husband and I only found out about after the wedding, because Marielle was able to handle things both discreetly and efficiently. She is very personable and easy to communicate with, and we would highly recommend Marielle to anyone looking to plan a wedding or other large event.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Marielle and Mark as my day-of wedding planners, and overall, I couldn't be more pleased with their services. At first, I wondered if I even needed a planner because I skipped a bunch of traditional wedding stuff, like speeches and cutting the cake. They offered valuable recommendations while respecting my desire to avoid traditional wedding elements.

The true value of hiring Marielle and Mark became evident during the rehearsal, just two days before the wedding. Meeting them in person for the first time, I was impressed by their ability to flawlessly cue the ceremony, address challenging family requests with grace and practical solutions, and provide professional insights on optimizing the timing of group photos.

The wedding morning itself was a whirlwind, and Marielle and Mark were amazing! From assisting with the setup of the welcome table to collaborating with the florist to repurpose flowers during dinner, they demonstrated an invaluable knack for handling unforeseen challenges. Their ability to adapt to last-minute changes, such as unexpected guest arrivals and missing attendees, ensured the smooth flow of the day.

Throughout the night, Marielle and Mark were a constant source of support. Their multiple check-ins ensured that every aspect of the celebration proceeded seamlessly, allowing me to relax and enjoy the festivities. Their attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and overall professionalism made them indispensable to the success of my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to any bride seeking dedicated, experienced, and personable wedding planners.
