Marylee Marmer Events

Marylee and her team are the real deal. It was clear from the very first conversation that they knew exactly the vision we were hoping to achieve and they did everything to not only meet that vision, but exceed it. While we didn’t contact her at the very beginning of our planning endeavors, she took all of the tasks, question marks, and complications off of our plate. We felt so heard and seen the entire time, even outside of wedding related topics. Marylee was compassionate and so kind when I was going through personal things, and it meant the absolute world to me.

Her response time was so prompt, even amongst the busiest point in wedding season. She made sure to address every last detail thoroughly during our meetings and recaps. It was my first time being a bride and I can’t imagine it having gone any more smoothly. I can’t tell you how amazing it was to have a planning team that not only delivered a wedding of our dreams, but also advocated for us every step of the way. And as many couples in the planning process learn quickly, the costs add up. Marylee made a point of giving us tips and tricks to save in ways; this was so helpful…like seriously. I could tell that other planners I had talked to prior to booking with Marylee wouldn’t have extended the same grace, which was another reason we knew Marylee was it. Her services are very affordable.

When it came to our wedding day, her whole team was absolutely phenomenal. A few hours before the ceremony began, I got hit with nerves and a mental breakdown that I’m sure made me hard to work with. They helped me to settle these nerves, to breathe and I knew that they would have everything under control (and they did). Wanted to also recognize Katie and Chloe from her team. They were incredible as well; super professional and a dream to work with.

Lastly, wanted to mention that you should ABSOLUTELY use Marylee for florals. She went above and beyond and made the flowers absolutely breathtaking. I don’t think I appreciated how fabulous they can be until our big day. She absolutely nailed the vision from the inspiration I had shared.

Needless to say, Marylee and her team is the epitome of top notch wedding planning. I wish I could hire her to assist me with everything in life (hah). A dream come true and truly cannot recommend her more!

I could not have pulled off my daughters wedding and reception without Marylee Marmer and her team. The event was a huge success. She brought my vision to life, and made it look easy and seamless.
We received so many compliments about the food, the venue, the music, the photography, the florals….everything — all of which would not have happened without her guidance.
I feel very fortunate to have found Marylee. In addition to being the best at what she does, she’s also simply a delightful person, and it was a pleasure working with her. I know it’s not possible, but I always felt like I was her only client.

We are so incredibly grateful to Marylee and her team for helping make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be! From the very beginning, Marylee was organized, incredibly responsive, and truly on top of everything. She caught details that I missed, helped me find amazing vendors, and had so many valuable connections and recommendations. It is very clear how respected she is within the Richmond wedding community, and we felt so lucky to have her expertise throughout the planning process.

I especially want to highlight her lead planner, Mackenzie, who was absolutely incredible on our wedding day. She made me feel heard, handled anything that came up calmly and professionally, and was always ready to jump in and fix things before they became bigger problems. I was immensely grateful to have her on site for our reception, and knowing she was there allowed me to relax and actually enjoy the night.

This team truly went above and beyond, and I would absolutely choose them again without hesitation. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, connected, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your day run smoothly, I cannot recommend Marylee and her team enough!

Marylee and team created beautiful florals for my September wedding. Marylee is very kind, easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable in all things wedding related! She was very responsive and helped work with our budget. I highly recommend her services!

Our daughter recently got married and the venue required a professional wedding event planner. I thought, really? I can do this, what could go wrong. No way! I was impressed from the first conversation with Marylee. We worked together for a year. She and her team are knowledgeable, friendly, professional, caring, and experienced. We could not have done it without them. Having someone you trust by your side allows you to enjoy family and friends without having to make a million decisions at the wedding. Highly recommend.

We were so happy we chose Marylee and her team to be our wedding day-of-coordinators! Not a single thing went wrong, and not many brides get to say that. That's all thanks to the excellent communication, organization, and experience of Marylee, Mackenzie, and Kiki. They made sure no detail was left out and that we were cared for the entire night. They answered every question surprisingly quickly and were always friendly and clear. The nature of our venue involved lots of crunched timelines and complications that were handled flawlessly. We were in communication for months leading up to the event and it gave us such peace of mind and confidence going into the event that they were top tier professionals every step of the way. I highly highly highly recommend them! It was such a joy to work with them!

Marylee and her team made our wedding day a smooth and stress free experience! She captured and understood our needs and applied them to the day to bring our vision to life. Very minor hiccups were handled by her team with ease, leaving us without any stress and the opportunity to just enjoy ourselves. I can't imagine having moved forward without a planner/coordinator like I nearly did. She and her team took care of every detail with care and professionalism. Highly recommend! Thank you, Marylee!!!

Marylee and her team were incredible and they played such a huge part in making our wedding a successful event. Marylee is very organized, communicates clearly and in a timely manner, and really goes above and beyond for her couples. Her leadership and decision making made for a smooth and enjoyable evening for everyone. She has amazing relationships with other vendors, so on top of being our coordinator, she also served as a great advisor and vendor liaison whenever we needed her. And on top of all of that, she is also a talented designer and florist and has a great team behind her. Do yourself a favor and book MME!

I could write an entire essay about how absolutely incredible Marylee Marmer Events was for my wedding. We booked Marylee from out of town based on what we had heard about the quality of her services, and she exceeded every single one of my expectations tenfold. I had a VERY specific view for what I wanted my wedding to be and it was quite outside of the box! Marylee didn’t even bat an eye and genuinely brought my DREAM wedding to life PERFECTLY. I was genuinely in disbelief when I saw the flowers and decor and couldn’t even express how perfect everything was, from the color scheme to the vibes to the calm Marylee provided on the day of. Not only did she plan and execute an incredible event, each person she met talked about how lovely and on top of things she was. I still have no idea if a single thing went wrong because she was SO on top of it. She is magical!!!!! THANK YOU!

Marylee helped make all of my dreams come true!! She was truly such an amazing person to work with. She was such a calming presence during such a stressful time. We absolutely loved working with her!!! We knew we were in good hands when our venue kept raving about how lucky we were to have Marylee.
