The BEST Planner!!

Marta was amazing from the beginning! When we first met she took my mother and I through all of wedding her decor she has accumulated over the years and allowed me to choose anything and she brought everything to the wedding and set it up. This was awesome because it lessened my expenses and also I wasn't left with a bunch of decor afterwards. She was super on top of things, always a fast responder to email, text or phone calls, her timeline was great as well. It helped the whole wedding party and all of our families to be able to organized for the wedding day since we lived over an hour away from the venue and would be getting ready at the venue. She helped me the whole day, with my veil, with my train and bustling my dress. She made sure my husband and I always had drinks and food and everything went so smoothly. She was such a blessing and she was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her over and over again. Her prices are super reasonable too. You won't find anyone better!

Glad we hired Marta!

I'm very glad we hired Marta. When we had a crisis with our alcohol delivery a couple days before the wedding, Marta took care of the situation and called me to tell me about it after she had already resolved it. She went and picked up our alcohol herself instead of having us worry about how we would get it to the venue on the day of the wedding. She was also on time and professional for every meeting. We even borrowed some of her decor so we didn't have to buy everything ourselves. She set the decor up for us as well, and with a 4 hour event time, I was so glad we didn't have to worry about setup or breakdown. Our wedding was set up beautifully!

Experienced & amazing!!!

If you are hoping to find a way to make your wedding be seamlessly perfect - then Marta and her team is what you need! She is amazing! She knows all the questions to ask and shares a wedding checklist with you to help you plan all the details you didn't even know you needed to. As wedding day drew near I honestly wasn't stressed out much at all because I knew Marta had a handle on everything and our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. She is truly spectacular and so friendly! 10/10 recommend!

All you will ever need

Marta is going to be the best resource you could have for your wedding. Not only does she provide you with tons of information about how to find vendors, address your invites, a timeline for prep, she also has multiple storage sheds filled with decor that is included in her price! Her daughter Kara was the main day of coordinator for my wedding & she was amazing to work with. Marta & Kara had my day all set up and running smoothly by the time that I arrived, ready to walk down the aisle. Due to the pandemic, we ended up canceling at our venue and opted to do a backyard wedding instead, but that made Marta & her team just that much more important. My day would have been WAY more stressful & less fun if I did not have Martas' crew to help it run smoothly. Highly recommend them!

Day of coordinator

Marta was an essential part to our wedding, From day one she was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. In addition to her coordination, she offers her own inventory of decor to her brides which is HUGE and the savings add up not having to buy your own decor. She was especially helpful when we postponed our wedding from COVID by reaching out to our other vendors and coordinating our new date. The wedding itself went smoothly thanks to her. She set up, cleaned up, and made sure we stayed on time and everyone was where they needed to be. We couldn’t have had the perfect day we did without Marta!

Yes yes yes recommend!

we got married in August during the pandemic and Marta was there with us through it all! We were very stressed on if we would even have a wedding we even stopped planning for a while! But once we got the okay from our venue Marta was ready and helped us get everything together for the day of! She helped us with every detail and was there for our meetings with our caterer to help us decided on things. Because of her everything went smooth the day of and we had a perfect day and plenty of time for dancing!

Marta is wonderful!

Marta is absolutely fantastic! She’s so friendly and so easy to talk to. You can tell that she’s been doing this for a long time, as she knows exactly what to do. Because of COVID, we had to postpone our big celebration, but still wanted to have a small intimate ceremony on our original date. She offered to help out with our small ceremony as well, bringing an arbor with greenery and working out the schedule of events. For both events, I gave her my vision and she ran with it: making sure everything fell into place as I wanted. I would recommend Marta to anyone who wants a perfect wedding!

Ceremony by Rachael Ceremony by Rachael Wedding Officiants

When I hear that I am working with Marta, I'm instantly put at ease because I know that not only will the ceremony I'm officiating be smooth and stress-free, but more importantly, the couple in which I'm working with will also be stress-free and happy! Marta is amazing! She doesn't overlook a single detail, and her level of professionalism, friendliness, and overall responsiveness leaves couples wondering why they would ever have considered NOT hiring her as their planner/coordinator!
