Perfect day

Marnie and Debbie were the absolute best people to have in charge of my wedding. They took every ounce of stress off me and just let me enjoy every moment. They made it so beautiful and flow so nicely. They worked all day long happy as ever to be there. I am SO glad we chose to leave it to Marnie 💍🤍

10000000000% would recommend this team

I’m posting on all platforms because this team outperformed me and my wife’s expectations when it came to coordinating everything for our wedding this past Sunday. We hired them basically a few weeks away out of great recommendations, and they handled every single detail and most likely more than we don’t even realize. Everyone keeps telling us how great our wedding is and honestly fr I don’t think it would’ve went as good if it wasn’t for this team with Marnie and Katy. Even after the wedding, they checked in on us to make sure we were good. It was like we knew them personally from the start and we appreciate that so much fr. If you are having a big wedding, you NEED THIS TEAM

Best Wedding Planner Ever!

It’s hard to put into words how thankful we are for Marnie and her entire team. I’ve written many reviews but this one hits home! While Marnie led us through each step and decision and guided us to find the perfect vendors, she also managed to establish a life-long friendship with my husband and I. We simply wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our day, stress free, without her. Marnie is extremely talented, professional and organized. More importantly, she’s cares for her clients and makes each moment feel truly important. If you’re in between planners, here’s your sign to book with Marnie. She is absolutely incredible!!! Shout out to Haylie, you helped make our day absolutely perfect!

Excellent Service!

If you are looking for an amazing Wedding Coordinator, look no further! The name of her business says it all - 'Leave It To Marnie'! Marnie was an absolute God-sent for my son's wedding. Her level of communication and attention to detail is top tier from start to finish. Her time management and scheduling abilities stands out. She takes away all the worries, so you can enjoy the event. As parent of the Groom, we could not ask for anyone better. Another plus is that Marnie has connections with an array of vendors, who were all excellent and perfect for our needs. Marnie and her team are true professionals that goes above and beyond!

Leave it to Marnie!

Marnie and Michele were such a gift to work with! I had a challenging situation where my venue suddenly required me to hire a private event coordinator for day-of wedding services, and I was not informed by the venue of this change. I was connected with Marnie by our officiant and she immediately stepped in with grace and took all the worries off my plate. She met with me multiple times, helped me connect with a phenomenal florist, and ensured that all my wedding dreams came true. The day of the wedding, Michele from Marnie’s team was there onsite for everything. She got me new hair pieces when I lost mine, decorated the venue, ensured everyone knew what to do, and then handled cleaning up and delivering items back to our hotel room. I hadn’t realized how much I would need the level of support I got from Marnie and Michele, but I am beyond thrilled that I mhad them by my side. I promise you, you will not be disappointed if you hire Marnie and her team!
