Jessica and Let There Be Love were are day-of planners for our wedding at Marianmade Farm as well as our self-catered rehearsal dinner the night before.

So! How can we sing her praises? First, she knows the venue and the management backward and forward and as a result was anticipating things we'd never have thought of, while also accommodating our specific needs. (See also: recovering from a lightning storm)

As a coordinator for a rehearsal dinner we catered ourselves, she helped us plan, budget, acquire rentals, and set up the whole dinner—her team moved tables, bussed plates and glasses, and when there was a thunder and lightning storm and the POWER WENT OUT, she was on the scene with the property's generator and got the music and lights up and running so fast no one even noticed.

LTBL were our day-of coordinator (with just a few planning add-ons), but exceeded the value of such a vendor role by doing so much behind the scenes as well as leading up — we were given a minute-by-minute planning document that let our vendors coordinate behind the scenes and never bother us.

Also, Jessica quickly figured out who the high-maintenance member of our team was (the groom!) and managed his expectations while also putting a WALL up between the us/our wedding parties and the vendors. I recall the DJ coming to ask me something, right in the heat of everything, and Jessica physically putting a hand in the air and saying "he doesn't answer any more questions, it's his wedding," and taking care of it! Also, when it came time to rehearse and actually coordinate the ceremony, Jessica again came to the event with experience and flexibility that helped us realize our perfect day.

Not much else to say! Jessica is the best, and you should hire her, and if you're getting married at Marianmade, you should double hire her!

Jessica made my dream day happen, from dealing with inclement weather (I wanted an outside ceremony) to vendor issues to any other issues that arose day of. There was rain on the radar, and Jessica literally monitored the weather radar and found the gap in the rain so I could have my perfect outdoor ceremony on the Maine coast, corralling guests and all. She made sure that all aspects of the reception went smoothly. She was willing to customize her contract for my needs, then went above and beyond. I highly recommend her services for the rehearsal, as she impressed everyone involved in the rehearsal of the ceremony. She clearly thinks of every detail, and she checked in on me and my groom regularly to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend her for day of services.
