Marie is 100000% worth it!

I had a friend that found Marie before her wedding in July 2022 and she came highly recommended. I honestly had no intentions of looking for a wedding coordinator or planner in order to save some money but she came at such a high recommendation that I inquired for my July 2023 wedding. I will now be recommending her to every single person I know that is getting married in the Reno Tahoe area! She kept me on top of the planning throughout the entire process, and she answered every single small detailed question that I could come up with. Without her, I would have been pulling out my hair from stress. I found myself saying let’s “just ask Marie” almost every day leading up to the wedding... She has so many connections in the wedding world as well, she cut my catering bill in half because of who she knew! (And We thought that our caterer was better than what we would’ve had) It was so easy to pick out the other vendors because she already had recommendations and relationships as well. Takes the guesswork out of the vendors. On top of everything else, she is a very kind and easy to get along with person. She made our day completely stress free and I cannot recommend Marie enough!

1000% Recommend!

My husband and I were very back and forth about the necessity of a wedding planner, but oh my am I glad we got one. Marie was literally sent from heaven I swear. She was so involved and with my busy work schedule I greatly appreciated it. We were in contact almost weekly via e-mail and we did two walk throughs at the venue. Day of she made the day just breeze by without any major issues. I also appreciated the photos she took because they were things that I don't think the photographer caught. If you are debating it, I would definitely invest in Marie for your wedding planner for the Reno/Minden/Tahoe area!

Best Decision I Made

Marie is wonderful! If you haven't booked her already.. do it now! I hired her as my Day of Coordinator for my wedding on September 20, 2019. She met me at my venue several months prior and had some great insight as I began the initial event planning. I checked in occasionally from there keeping her up to date on vendor selection and a few questions along the way. She was able to help provide me with an affordable shuttle driver for my event when I was having trouble finding one!

About a month prior she started checking in very regularly with me via email. She made a whole event timeline from the rehearsal dinner through the wedding with a list of all vendors at the top, with contact and info and such.

For the rehearsal dinner she helped everyone figure out the processional and where all they needed to go. Day of she arrived 5 hours prior to my event. I sent her a message of last minute to-dos via text and she took care of it all.

Once I was there I just got to worry about.. me! She coordinated with a the vendors and made sure all the set-up and decor we're wrapped up. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right times. She improvised effortlessly when we finished photography early. When I had an upset stomach during dancing, she ran to the store and got me some pepto-bismol and when the event wrapped up she even stayed to help put away a lot of the decor.

The morning after the wedding I woke up to an email with some photos she had taken throughout the day.. including a few special shots of my dad and I before we walked down the aisle.

Marie was the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough!!
