Forever Grateful for Marian Frances Events!

I feel so amazingly lucky to have the pleasure of working with Marian for our October 2023 wedding. We spent over a year together planning our Brooklyn-based event, and Marian was by our side to guide us every step of the way. I always felt like we were in great hands, and that we had a true partner that was invested in bringing our perfect wedding to life. Working with Marian is like working with a close friend – she’s kind, thoughtful, and an absolute delight to be with. She made the process seamless, stress-free, and most of all, so incredibly fun!

Marian assembled the most amazing team of vendors that fit our personality, budget, and creative vision. She managed all communication flawlessly, and we never had to worry about a thing! She always kept us organized and on track which alleviated so much stress. On the day of the wedding, it was such a relief to know that everything was being taken care of and perfectly executed.

I will forever be grateful for Marian and all the hard work she did to make our big day so phenomenal. We truly couldn’t have done it without her!!!

Excellent Service from Marian Frances Events

Marian handled our month-of-coordination with dedication, care and ease. She helped me through challenges as they would arise and delicately provided professional and personal feedback during decision making times. Marian was generous with her time and worked tirelessly on our day to make sure it was how we envisioned everything. We are very grateful for Marian's services and would undoubtably recommend her to help with a special celebration!

Marian is wonderful!

We were very lucky to be introduced to Marian through a friend! She was absolutely magical. Nic and I didn't know what to expect when we heard about day-of wedding coordinating... I assure you, the experience we had with Marian went above and beyond our expectations. We so much appreciate her willingness to get to know us and our families, offer personal and professional insight, and brainstorm ways to overcome sticky situations (And one was really sticky!). Marian made the weeks leading up to the wedding fun and stress-free. She's very communicative and responsive to emails and calls, and she handled all vendors in a timely fashion. I especially love how detail-oriented Marian is, and she's so sweet, too! We are truly thankful to have met and worked with Marian. We wouldn't have had such an amazing wedding day without her. 😍⭐🙏🏽
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
