If you are planning a wedding and need a planner, I cannot recommend Marnie enough.

We actually first worked with Marnie back in 2018 when she helped with my sister’s wedding, and she was amazing then. So when I got engaged, reaching out to her was an absolute no brainer.

From the beginning she was there for everything…answering my million questions, helping with every little detail, and making the whole planning process feel so much less overwhelming. She truly handled so much behind the scenes and kept everything running smoothly.

On the day of the wedding, Marnie was incredible. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing because I knew she had it all under control. That allowed us to just enjoy the day and soak in every moment.

Marnie is not only amazing at what she does, but she’s also just a genuinely wonderful person. I’m so grateful we got to work with her again and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone planning a wedding.

Marnie, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We love you!

Marnie is truly the absolute best. If you want to enjoy your wedding day and have a completely stress free experience, you need to hire her, no question!
We had the most incredible day, and it’s all thanks to Marnie. Several of our vendors even told us our wedding was one of the easiest they’ve ever worked, which says so much about the level of organization and professionalism she brings. I worked with her for about a year, and she was always there for anything we needed, no matter how big or small. When our original venue unexpectedly fell through just 3 ½ months before the wedding, Marnie jumped in immediately and helped us find another beautiful venue I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. She completely saved the day. She is so easy to work with, incredibly organized, and just an all around wonderful person. We are beyond grateful for everything she did to make our wedding so special. Also, Debbie and Ginger were absolutely fabulous, such an amazing team all around! Thank you Marnie for everything!

Working with Marnie Kennedy of Leave It to Marnie was nothing short of a blessing. Just two weeks before our wedding, my family experienced an unimaginable loss with the unexpected passing of my ex-husband and the father of my children. In the midst of grief and overwhelming emotions, Marnie stepped in and essentially took over the entire planning process without hesitation.

Her compassion, professionalism, and ability to handle every detail allowed us the space to focus on what truly mattered—being there for our children during such a difficult time. She and her team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was not only seamless, but as beautiful and meaningful as it could possibly be given the circumstances.

Because of Marnie and her team, our day was filled with love, support, and moments we will forever cherish. We were so grateful for her that she is now planning our daughter’s wedding, and we couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with such an important day.

I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares and will show up for you in every possible way, I would highly recommend Marnie and her team at Leave It to Marnie to plan your next event—they are simply the best.

Deciding to reach out to Marnie a couple months before our wedding was the best decision we made. Marnie immediately made us feel at ease and seamlessly took over all communication and managing aspects of our event. We hired Marnie as a day of coordinator however feel as though she went above and beyond that title. 10/10 would absolutely recommend using Marnie for your wedding needs!

We are so happy we hired Marnie. The wedding planning process is overwhelming, and Marnie really simplified it for us. She was honest with our ideas and knew how to make them better, while also introducing things we didn’t even know we needed. She took the reins on the wedding day and made it as seamless and comfortable as possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Marnie Kennedy was an absolute standout to work with. We partnered with her for a New Year’s Eve wedding in Pawleys Island where we handled ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception—a day with lots of moving pieces and tight timing. Marnie was proactive well before wedding day, communicated clearly, and kept everything organized in a way that made the entire event feel simple to execute.

What really sets Marnie apart is how she treats everyone on the team. As vendors, we sometimes encounter planners who only “see” the clients. Marnie is different—she’s a true collaborator: respectful, empathetic, calm under pressure, and genuinely considerate of everyone’s needs. We felt comfortable and supported from start to finish, and that’s a huge reason the day ran so smoothly.

If you want top-tier professionalism with the warm, grounded confidence of a cool auntie who’s got you covered, hire Marnie. Highly recommend.

Marnie exceeded my expectations of a month of coordinator! She truly became my go-to person, and helped me feel at ease and at peace. She is affordable, and communicates effectively and efficiently. Her team was so kind and helpful. She truly made the wedding of my dreams happen!

Marnie was the BEST coordinator we could have ever asked for. Whatever we needed, Marnie made it happen. She is so kind and gave us expert advice. I would 100% recommend using Marnie as your coordinator!

During my wedding weekend she was by my side. She made sure the rehearsal ran smoothly and that my bridal party would be prepared. She decorated my reception area with a colleague the night before so that she’d be available all day for anything I needed. From driving my bridal party to the ceremony due to transportation issues, to bringing my wedding gifts and left overs to my hotel suite so that no one else had to worry, she went above and beyond! I couldn’t recommend anyone more to help plan and coordinate a wedding!

Absolutely phenomenal! We had the privilege of working with Marnie Kennedy as our wedding planner for our celebration on 10/11/25, and I truly cannot imagine a more perfect experience. From our very first meeting, Marnie’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the planning process. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, and her organizational skills ensured that everything ran seamlessly.

On the big day, I felt completely pampered—something I haven’t experienced in ages! Marnie made sure I could simply enjoy every moment, knowing that she had everything under control. Every detail, from the décor to the timeline, was executed flawlessly. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and well-coordinated everything was.

If you want a wedding planner who truly cares, listens, and delivers above and beyond, Marnie Kennedy is the absolute best. She made our dream wedding a reality, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!
