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!

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.

Marylee and her team are AMAZING! Our wedding was at Main Street Station in Richmond, VA, and she knew every detail possible about the venue. Her florals were BEAUTIFUL, and she delivered excellent customer service throughout the planning process leading up to the wedding day. Her recommendations and expertise were much appreciated during our venue walkthrough, and she is very good at troubleshooting. She and Mackenzie were very sweet and personable to all guests and members in the wedding party, and they both made the day extremely memorable and special for me and my husband. She was always early to all events/meetings, and she always asked extremely detailed questions to make sure our dream wedding day came true. Could not recommend her and Mackenzie enough for coordinating and florals!!

I cannot express enough how incredible Marylee is as a wedding coordinator! She truly went above and beyond for my daughter’s wedding, and I’m so thankful for her flawless execution. From the moment we started planning, Marylee made sure every detail was covered and nothing was overlooked. On the big day, she was there checking on us multiple times, ensuring everything was running smoothly and putting our minds at ease.

Marylee has been a longtime personal friend of mine, as well as an industry professional I trust deeply. We’ve worked together many times, but this day was especially important to me. Watching her seamlessly bring everything together and keep everything on track was such a gift. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to help make my daughter’s wedding day so perfect.

Marylee, you were truly incredible, and we cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us. Ayla and I love you so much! xoxo

I cannot recommend Marylee and her team enough! I booked Marylee for day of coordination services, and she went above and beyond my expectations. Marylee was quick to answer my thousands of questions throughout the entire planning process. She gave me honest recommendations for vendors, input on decor (and even provides certain decor rentals), and in many cases helped initiate or completely handle communications with my other wedding vendors. She also did all my florals and they were GORGEOUS. The minute we were delivered my bouquet, one of my bridesmaids immediately said they've never seen a more perfect "Treva" bouquet. She nailed it on my vision!

Rachel from Marylee's team did my day-of coordination, and I need to give an extra special shout out to her! Like Marylee, she was quick to answer all my questions in the weeks leading up to my wedding and was incredibly organized in helping fine tune all the nitty gritty details of the day's schedule. There were a couple small fires the day of that I didn't even know about until after my wedding, which I believe is the number one sign you've hired the right coordinator! If Rachel is any indication of the rest of Marylee's team, you will be in great hands with any of her planners/coordinators.

I was initially on the fence about using a wedding planner, but can confidently say that hiring Marylee was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Marylee was experienced, organized, and — most importantly -- a trusted partner. I could always rely on her expertise, quick replies, and creative ideas to execute our vision within my budget. I had a fantastic planning experience with Marylee, but it was in the final days leading up to our wedding that she truly went above and beyond. Planning a wedding comes with its fair share of challenges, and ours included unexpected vendor issues the week of the wedding that caused significant stress. Marylee immediately took control and handled each issue with remarkable professionalism and calmness, giving me a much-needed reprieve in the days leading up to my wedding. I knew I could trust Marylee to advocate for us and find solutions — I still don't know how she managed it, but everything was ultimately resolved and our wedding was seamless. Marylee made all the difference, and I am truly grateful for all she and her team did to give us a perfect day!
