Marie Russell and her team at Bordeaux Events made our wedding day go off without a hitch! She was very good at keeping us on task leading up to the big day, and she made sure she had all of the information so that she did not need anything from us so we could just enjoy our wedding. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, we didn't know about it because Marie handled everything! She was so nice to work with and very professional, too! We definitely recommend her!

Awesome work. Made everything really easy for me.

I have no idea why the reviews below state what they do. We were referred to Marie and couldn't have been happier with our decision. The big value in Marie came on the day of the wedding. She showed up a couple hours prior while people were setting up. She brought two AMAZING people to help her and took over from there. Anything that went off beat, she handled immediately and ensured we didn't worry about it. Honestly, the day of the wedding was overwhelming when the vendors starting showing up, asking questions, etc all at once. As soon as Marie showed up, it was like a weight being lifted and we knew we were in good hands. Marie's specialty comes at improvising the unexpected and getting vendors to take care of the things they need to. Without Marie, we would have been running around nuts trying to align the vendors, set up, follow the timeline, etc. Oh, and she accomplished an amazing job only 2 weeks out from having her baby! If she reads this, congratulations again, Marie!

I would hesitate to recommend Marie to someone getting married in the Outer Banks. You must understand the process will be a bit stressful, but having someone who is so in-tune with the area, the vendors and who to go to when the unexpected comes up will pay off.

To be honest, we even sat back during the process and thought, why did we pay a wedding planner. The day of the wedding, it all made sense and I would do it 10 times over if I could. Marie is such a sweet person with a great personality. She'll be strict at times, but it is so necessary. During the rehearsal, we became a bit out of order and she quickly put us all back into our place (which made us love her even more).

When it comes to details, no one will have them as organized as you do yourself. However, if you want to have someone who will know what it takes to have a wedding go smoothly, handle the unexpected and dedicate herself to ensuring your day is not only perfect, but not stressful; Choose this vendor.
