Marean and the whole Go Bananas team have always exceeded my expectations. They are professional, hard-working and lovely people to work with. She always knows exactly what my client or myself are envisioning and makes it come to life.

My husband and I have never been more grateful for all of the services Marean, our coordinator, did for us. There really isn't enough words to describe how wonderful, organized, stern, and smart she really is. She sets her goals and sticks to them. She was there for us when we needed her for anything! She's literally close to perfect! There's always a "reason to her madness" as she puts it to getting her things done. We did exactly what she told us, because otherwise, what would be the point in hiring one if we're not going to follow her advice? She never puts her "two cents" in. She goes with your ideas but is honest with you and tells you whether it'll work or not. If it doesn't work, she has solutions. She always backed us up and made sure we weren't taken advantage of because she reads each vendor contract. She always made my husband and I feel at ease AND she's funny! Our wedding (turn of the century theme) was gorgeous! Guests were left in AMAZEMENT and continue sharing pictures and talking about how it was the most gorgeous wedding they had ever attended! She gets things DONE. You don't have to remind her. She takes care of all the details. All my husband and I did was tell her what we wanted and finalize choices. She really paid attention to what we were invisioning and keeps all of your information in a personalized binder. We didn't deal with any of the vendors and arrived to our wedding just like she said each couple should: like being guests at our own wedding. Thanks to her, I did NOT become a Bridezilla. Yes, ladies, there's an antidote for that and her name is Marean! My husband and I agree that Marean is the best money we ever spent on our wedding. Words of wisdom to the engaged couples out there: hire her full service like we did. Do it. Do it now. You won't regret it. We highly, HIGHLY recommend her out of ALL the vendors we worked with. We want to stay in touch and be friends with her forever. We love you, Marean!

I highly recommend Go bananas!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Go Bananas Events. We had an outdoor wedding and they supplied our lighting which set the tone for the evening and provided the perfect ambiance. Marean is extremely professional and flexible and truly went above and beyond in providing peace of mind by addressing any issues or concerns promptly. I highly recommend them!

5 stars across the board! Marean and her Go Bananas Team were responsible for our amazing wedding that was a day to remember, not only to my husband and I but to also our guests. She was the reason why I wasn't stressed at all while planning our wedding. The whole planning process from beginning to end went so smoothly due to Go Bananas. When I first met Marean, she was very professional, organized, kind, personable, and gave off that "I will get this done for you" vibe. These are the traits that you look for when looking for a wedding coordinator. During our wedding planning, I really liked how she was very quick and prompt in answering questions via email/text/phonecall, was organized by having our own binder with all of our wedding info and details, created timelines for the day of the wedding and checklists of what we needed to do, and communicated with all of our vendors and our bridal party to keep them in the loop. When there was a bump in the road during the planning, she was able to respond to that change, take care of it, and fix it ASAP. She knew what we were envisioning for our ceremony and reception and made it happen. It was really nice to just show up to your wedding and be more than happy to see your ceremony and reception space look exactly what you envisioned it to be. Marean and her Go Bananas Team are an excellent wedding vendor who you can trust and rely on during your big day. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They went above and beyond our expectations. I would definitely recommend them. You will not regret it!

Seriously, my fairy tale wedding came true because of Go Bananas. It was everything I imagined and more! Working with Marean was so much fun, she has such great ideas and can make sure even the impossible is done for you. All my friends were so shocked as to why I wasn't stressing and having panic attacks while planning my wedding and my response to them was of course because of Go Bananas. Very profession, kind, flexible company that will make your special day is more than perfect! If I can thank them everyday for the incredible work they did at my wedding, and bridal shower, I would! I definitely recommend everyone working with them, you will not regret it!

5 star service all the way! My husband and I got married this past weekend. I’m Pakistani and my husband is Spanish (Basque). So we had a Pakistani/Spanish fusion wedding. Traditional Pakistani weddings are a huge production with multiple day events. Our wedding was a 2 day affair. I knew I had to find a wedding planner who was experienced with both cultures as well as big events. I decided to use them after reading all the amazing reviews on wedding wire as well as Google. Our guest list was roughly 210 people the first night and 320 people the second night. Marean from Go Bananas Events and Rentals was professional, skilled, and put my mind at ease when it came to wedding planning. She explained that she has done other big cultural events so she’s familiar with how much planning and detail they require. Without her and her crew, my wedding day wouldn't have turned out as well as it did. We used them for all of our rentals, day of coordinating, flowers, photography, and catering. I was very happy with the outcome and heard nothing but praise from all our guests. I will definitely recommend Go Bananas Events and Rentals to everyone!

We went with Go Bananas for our backdrops, chair coverings and linens for our wedding and had a wonderful experience.

MAREAN was extremely helpful, for almost a year, in helping me with all (there was a lot) of questions that I had. Each contact, she was prompt and professional. I knew from the start she knew exactly what we were envisioning our ceremony and reception and what we wanted and I was not surprised when I saw everything that it was perfect! We went with a backdrop for behind the head table and it really looked amazing!! We also had a backdrop used as our alter and it was stunning!! Definitely worth every penny!

Will be recommending and using in the future! Thank you again! Sean and Ashley Farlin

I used Go Bananas for my wedding in May 2014 and I am really glad I did. I am from Fresno and we got married in China Peak Mountain Resort. I needed draping to cover the inside walls of the ski dome and add a backdrop for our head table. I also needed uplighting and café lights along the ceiling. Marean from Go Bananas is very easy and great to work with. They were able to provide all of those services. She has a nice personality and is very patient. She emailed me back right away to meet. She was very responsive to her cell phone and text messages. I was impressed that she took her own initiative to go drive all the way over to China Peak to do her own measurements (no extra charge) and beautifully drafted a very accurate blueprint of the dome! It was so nice to see on paper what the draping would look like along with all of the dimensions. As an advice to brides, this is the type of business you want. She took care of things on her own without me reminding her. Also, she was very patient and responsive to change. As many brides know, we can be indecisive as far as decorations go. When I wanted to add a crystal beaded curtains draped behind my head table, it was not an issue and Marean changed the contract.
Marean and her team went to China Peak a week before the wedding to set things up. Without me even asking to, she sent me a picture text of the progress at the dome. This was very nice and relieving for me to see. It was a nice status update in the midst of the pre-wedding planning craziness.
Our wedding day, I arrived in the morning and it was perfect. It really is nice to just show up and it look exactly like it was planned on the blueprint. This is what you want to feel on your wedding day…a reliable business.
All in all, this is an excellent business who you can trust for your big day. You may email me for pictures and ANY additional questions re my experience with them at rubylhee@gmail.com. I have nothing but good things to say about them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
