Margie helped coordinate our intimate wedding ceremony and reception at Portland City Hall and Wayside Tavern, and she made the entire day feel effortless. From the start, she understood exactly what we wanted—a relaxed, positive, intimate, and tasteful celebration where we could simply be present and enjoy the day. Thanks to her, that’s exactly what we got.

She is incredibly organized, calm, and reassuring, keeping everything running seamlessly behind the scenes while allowing us to focus on each other and our guests. She also has wonderful relationships with local vendors and recommended an amazing team. Since she already knew many of them personally, everything came together so naturally, and we never had to worry about a thing.

Margie was also incredibly flexible in tailoring her support to our smaller wedding and our budget. She managed everything so discreetly that she blended right into the event, while somehow always being exactly where she was needed. We felt completely supported and genuinely cared for throughout the day.

I don’t even know where to begin, Margie of Dirigo Event Co is truly one of the brightest lights and we could sense that from our very first encounter over FaceTime. We contracted Margie to be our day of coordinator but it felt like we got so much more. With us being from out of state she really put things in sport mode and made sure every little detail/vendor was in place.Margie went above and beyond throughout this process, very communicative and fast acting, she was very calming and high energy at the same time and just made you feel important and secure. I truly felt as though she was with us this entire journey, she was always willing to listen to us if we needed to discuss ideas and we valued her input greatly because she really is a pro at what she does. The actual “day of” was just so seamless, well planned and executed beautifully. Handling all of our vendors, fine details and checking in with us really put us at ease and allowed for a stress free event, truly a well oiled machine. Margie has this chill, loving, warm energy about her that just made this whole process so easy. We’re so thankful for Dirigo Event Co for making our wedding unforgettable, and will forever look back on this time with our hearts so full.

Margie is the absolute best! Her communication, organization, industry connections, and creative vision made our entire wedding planning process a breeze. She responds to texts and emails instantly, stays on top of every detail, and brings such calm, confident energy to every step.

Every vendor we worked with knew her and said the same thing, “We love working with Margie.” Even our guests were raving about how wonderful she was!

Her upbeat, positive personality made every meeting fun, and on the day of our wedding, she kept everything running perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. We cannot recommend Margie highly enough. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, you’re in great hands.

We hired Margie to help with our wedding planning fairly late into the process and our number 1 regret going forward was that we hadn't reached out to her sooner.
Margie brought so much organization to the chaos of planning our wedding and more than anything. From our first chat with her, we knew that we were being looked after.
Knowing that we had Margie in our corner when any questions or hiccups - big or small - came up helped make the entire wedding process as stress-free as an event like this can be. She helped make our dream wedding come to life and we could not be more grateful.

Working with Margie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was so easy to work with, extremely organized, and knowledgeable. She helped guide us through every step of the planning process, always prompt with communication and ready with thoughtful suggestions that made wedding planning fun and stress free!

On the wedding day, everything went perfectly thanks to Margie. We were able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding knowing we had Margie there!

We are so grateful for her expertise and dedication, and we cannot recommend Dirigo Event Co enough. If you want peace of mind and a the wedding you dreamed of, she is a must-have!

Thank you so much Margie!!

I truly can not say enough wonderful things about Margie and Dirigo Event Co., when it comes to having them as apart of your vendor team for one of the most important days of your life. My now husband and I came across Margie and her team as a rec from our wedding venue Autumn Lane Estate and from our first call I knew Margie was going to make all of our wedding dreams come to life. Entering wedding planning, you think you can easily plan a wedding without a planner but that is until you meet Margie and experience her expertise and knowledge first hand. Every month leading up to the wedding I looked forward to our calls as Margie came organized, professional, and open minded when helping us plan our wedding. No detail was forgotten leading up to the wedding with a timeline down to every 5 minutes with my husband and I at the center of it all. Planning a wedding at our wonderful venue meant renting everything and outsourcing every other vendor and Margie came with ideas and recs of wonderful vendors to create the most amazing team that worked seamlessly together. Overall, I can not recommend Margie and her team enough not only is she extremely professional and talented at what she does, ensuring leading up to our wedding day and the actual event were perfect, she is also SO caring. I felt like every meeting was talking to an excited friend who couldn't wait to watch us celebrate our marriage. 10000/10, there are not enough stars or accolades we could give Margie and her team. She made stressful wedding planning seem effortless and our day would not have come together how it did without her team.

Margie is THE. BEST. If you are planning your wedding, look no further. She has the perfect temperament and personality to deal with it all and make your dream day happen seamlessly! All of our guests commented on how smoothly our day went and it was really all because of Margie & her team. She is lightning quick with her email responses and is always available to offer her thoughts. We didn’t have even an ounce of stress on the big day because we knew we were in the best of hands :)

Margie is the best!! She made our planning process smooth and removed so much potential stress. Her input was invaluable and we felt comfortable asking all our questions--big or small. On our wedding day, we were able to fully relax and enjoy the day because we knew we were in the best hands. On top of her planning skills, Margie is a wonderful, fun person and we always looked forward to our calls with her. We can't recommend Margie enough!!

We couldn't imagine having our wedding without Dirigo Event Co. Margie was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the whole process, from an instant connection at our first call, to helping us plan and oversee our vendor contracts, to last minute scrambling helping us acquire an under purchased decoration. She is professional, has incredible communication skills, is prompt and diligent with replies, all while being warm, genuine, flexible and understanding. She knows the ins and outs of planning / running a beautiful wedding. The stress of running the day-of celebrations were totally lifted, and Margie was a major reason our wedding day was so relaxed and easy for my wife and I to enjoy. We cannot say enough great things.

Margie is everything you could want in a wedding planner & day of coordinator. She is responsive, invested in your day and just easy to be around! Margie often referred to me as a “chill bride” but I just had full trust in her and her team the entire time! You will not regret booking her for your big day-easily the best decision we made while planning.
