Great event coordinator

Absolutely fantastic and very detail oriented. Very involved at the time of the wedding and very inquisitive. Thank you for making our day stress free! It was a big plus that she is bilingual.

Fantastic planning and day of coordination!

Mari was amazing to work with on my wedding! I was having a small wedding but decided I needed someone to handle day of coordination. Not only did she handle logistics/coordination but so much more. She gave good insight and guidance when I wasn't sure about some decisions and was super supportive. She really helped me pull things together. I highly recommend her for your wedding planning/coordination!
