Second Successful Event with Celebrations

This was the second time we worked with Celebrations, and once again we are extremely satisfied with the excellent service provided. The event ran smoothly from start to finish, with no hiccups, reflecting the high level of preparation and coordination.
Marilse’s follow-up on emails and calls was outstanding—not only with us, but also with the various suppliers involved. She is very organized and handles everything in a timely and efficient manner. Her experience clearly shows in the way she anticipates details and knows exactly what to take into consideration to ensure a successful event.
She has an extensive network of suppliers and is also open to working with new ones, always aiming for the best possible outcome. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process, and the event was professionally closed off with an evaluation meeting.
We highly recommend Celebrations to anyone looking for a reliable, organized, and experienced event planner, and we will certainly consider working with them again for future events.

Professional, Passionate, Perfect – A Birthday Made with Heart by Marilse!

I honestly don’t have enough words to thank Marilse from Celebrations for the incredible work they did for my birthday event. From the very beginning, I felt as if Marilse was my right hand not only professionally, but with heart and soul.

She took the time to plan meetings, understand my vision, follow up on every detail, and stay fully informed about all my ideas from décor and music to entertainment and the overall experience. She guided me with honest advice, structure, and clarity. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her.

Marilse is strict, correct, and highly professional and that is exactly what makes her so strong in her work. On the day of my celebration, she and her team ensured everything flowed perfectly according to the tight schedule. With so much entertainment and a detailed program, I never once felt that timing was off or that something was forgotten. Everything was flawless.

I am deeply grateful that I was able to organize my birthday with her. I will recommend Celebrations and Marilse to everyone! she is experienced, dedicated, and truly knows how to bring an event to perfection.

Marilse, from the bottom of my heart: thank you for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable day!

The best wedding planner on the Island

We are super happy with Marilse from Celebrations! Thanks to her, our wedding day went so smoothly and perfectly. She helped us with so many things and reminded us of details we would never have thought of ourselves. Even the meetings we had with her were not only useful but also really fun.

Her team is professional and kind, and she really stands on the side of the couple. Her advice is always about what’s best for the bride and groom, not the vendors. She also works with great, reliable vendors, so we didn’t have to stress about finding them ourselves.

She was always easy to reach through different channels and replied super quickly to all our messages.

We’re very thankful for everything Marilse did for us and when we’re back in Curaçao, we’ll definitely have a drink with her! We can 100% recommend Celebrations to any couple looking for the perfect wedding planner.

Highly Recommend!

We worked with Marilse from Celebrations for a year to plan our June 14th 2025 wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and attentive, always ready to answer our questions and guide us through the planning process. She connected us with excellent vendors that perfectly matched our style and budget, and she consistently helped us stay on track financially without ever compromising quality.

Her attention to detail is unmatched—nothing was overlooked. She truly listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure every element came together beautifully. On our wedding day, she was there every step of the way, orchestrating everything seamlessly so we could simply enjoy the moment. We felt completely supported, and she didn’t miss a beat.

Thanks to her hard work, dedication, and professionalism, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We wholeheartedly recommend Celebration to anyone looking for a planner who is organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect!

Review for Celebrations – Wedding Planner Marilse

We got married on May 25th, 2025, at the beautiful Avila Beach Hotel in Curaçao, and choosing Celebrations' partial wedding planning package was truly a no-brainer.

From the very beginning, Marilse impressed us with her professionalism and reliability. She was incredibly organized, attentive to every detail, and always made us feel supported throughout the planning process. Her calm
and reassuring presence made everything feel effortless.

On the big day, everything ran smoothly thanks to Marilse and her amazing team. One of the small but thoughtful touches we’ll never forget: they made sure we always had a drink in our hands—such a simple gesture, but one that made us feel so well taken care of.

Another detail that truly touched us: we had an audio guest book, and Marilse took the time to leave us a beautiful message. It meant so much to us and showed just how personally invested she was in making our day special.

We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and we wholeheartedly recommend Celebrations to any couple planning their dream wedding in Curaçao.

Mr & Mrs Uijttenhout

Our experience with Marilse as our wedding planner was exceptional. From start to finish, she took care of every single detail, making our wedding experience completely stress-free. Planning our wedding from abroad could have been overwhelming, but Marilse made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.
Her attention to detail was flawless – from our monthly meetings that helped us stay on track, to making sure every little detail was taken care of, even things we hadn't thought of.
On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Marilse and her team were on top of everything, ensuring everything ran smoothly, and allowing us to truly enjoy the day. Her team was really friendly and attentive, and we loved having them as our wedding planner. Her broad network on the island was a huge asset, and with every unique request we had, like a live painter, she always knew exactly who to call.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who is organized, professional, and makes your vision a reality, Marilse is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

One of her key strengths is her extensive network of suppliers, yet she remains open to working with new ones to ensure the best possible outcome.

She also provides a thorough wrap-up, conducting an evaluation meeting to review the event.
