Relaxing Wedding of Our Dreams

Our wedding was everything I had never imagined and everything I didn't know I wanted. The wedding planning process was very daunting to me, as I had never given it much thought. Carrie made every decision an easy one, and for every decision I asked her to make, she knocked it out of the park. I truly had no stress the day of my wedding because Carrie and her staff were so organized, attentive, and detail-oriented. I have only wonderful memories of my wedding day and Carrie is the reason why. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

Loved the venue and coordinator!

The professionalism by the entire organization was so appreciated. Everyone at the Mariner's Church worked so hard to make the day run smooth as silk. Carrie D, coordinator was instrumental in ensuring everyone new their roles, where to be when, and the place looked just as we hoped. She worked seamlessly with the DJ, photographer and flower/decorator. We had a lot of access to the venue to refresh our vision and drop off/pick up items which greatly decreased stress on the day. And even those last minute "OH NO!"'s were taken care of instantly with little to no effort on our part so we could just enjoy the day! Can't say enough about the venue and coordinator. Just beautiful. Just wonderful. Thank You!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
