When my wife and I were shopping around for a wedding planner, we spoke with a handful of folks who just didn’t seem quite right for us. Many were friendly and seemed plenty organized, but they lacked a certain quality that we couldn’t put our finger on. That all changed when we spoke with Marcea. From even our first conversation, Marcea’s assuredness and clear headed approach to our big day was clear. She brought a kind of confidence to our wedding discussion that was the missing link for those we spoke to beforehand.

That confidence carried into our planning once we started working together, and it completely eliminated much of the doubt and worry we had about our big day. While much of the wedding planning process is joyful and exciting, there is a less-than-desirable side fueled by stress that can sour the experience. Marcea’s magic juju is taking that stress away, and she helped make our planning process as joyful as possible.

When the big weekend came, Marcea’s professionalism shined. From orchestrating our rehearsal to seamlessly ushering vendors on site, Marcea did not miss a single logistical beat. And, as we prepared for our ceremony, she also brought an infectious sense of excitement and positivity that my wife, myself, and our wedding party greatly appreciated as nerves ran high. A particularly special moment that my wife and I greatly appreciated was when Marcea brought my wife and me a plate of hors d'oeuvres after our photos were finished. It may sound like a simple gesture, but the fact is Marcea kept our well-being and comfort top of mind, and we sincerely appreciated her effort to keep us fueled up on such an action packed night.

I could go on and on about the countless ways Marcea went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was as enjoyable as possible, but a review has to end somewhere. With that said, I’ll end with this. Although there are many great wedding planners, working with Marcea felt like cheating our way to our perfect wedding. In our honest opinion, working with her is like a guarantee that you feel less stressed, more happiness, and can focus on the good stuff from beginning to end.

I can’t recommend MG Event Design enough! Marcea and her team made our day go off without a hitch despite several challenges that came up before the weekend. From start to finish Marcea was so helpful and kind and exactly what I needed to execute the wedding day. We elected to have her come in for day-of coordination but I wish we could have elected for month of! I highly suggest carving out space in your budget for coordination and can promise you MG Event Design would be worth every penny. I loved how seamlessly she worked with our vendors and was able to jump in right away. Even if you’re a bride like me who wants to have all the details planned, you still need someone other than yourself who can execute the vision well and fill in the gaps you may not see. She is a true and trusted professional - exactly what you need for one of the biggest days in your life.

Marcea and Natalie were amazing to work with. Professional, thoughtful, so knowledgeable and gracious! Hiring them was the best thing we could have done to make our reception perfect. Marcea thought of everything, was so patient and helpful. Her fees are reasonable and it was worth every penny.

From our very first meeting with Marcea I felt such peace and immediately put at ease that all the unknowns running through my head were going to be taken care of with organization and confidence. My now husband commented as soon as the meeting was finished that he knew hiring Marcea was the right choice because of the way it helped me feel like planning a celebration of this size was no longer so intimidating. Marcea and her team were communicative, kind and efficient from planning stages to execution on the day of, and we could not be more pleased and thankful we had them on our team. No detail went unmet or unnoticed and we are forever happy with our decision. Thank you SO much MG Events!!

Marcea and MG Event Design helped make our dreams for our wedding day a reality. Marcea is extremely organized and professional. She is warm, approachable, and showed that she truly cared about our unique preferences and vision for our wedding day. At all stages of the wedding planning process Marcea was responsive and available if we needed anything at all. Her creative ideas and resourcefulness helped us stay within our budget. On the day of the wedding Marcea and her team ensured that every last detail of our event was executed seamlessly. I felt like I could actually relax and have fun on our wedding day because Marcea and her team were so on top of everything. I couldn't have been happier with the wedding planning and day-of coordination services provided by MG Event Design. I will always be thankful that they helped us have the wedding of our dreams.

Working with Marcea as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we had for our wedding. She kept us from overwhelming ourselves with her top-notch organization, planning, and creativity. Marcea had checklists, timelines, and reminders provided well before the wedding, and they kept everything on track.

Her communication was also on point. Marcea is consistently responsive, and she doesn’t hesitate to call if something needs to be addressed.

On the wedding day, she ran a tight ship and was able to keep all wedding traffic smooth (at least from our point of view). Honestly, we didn't think we'd be able to enjoy our wedding nearly as much if it weren't for her.

Marcea also has rentable items (table numbers, wedding accessories like flower basket, ceremony background, etc.) if needed, which was a definite plus.

The wife and I are extremely grateful to have worked with Marcea and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding coordinator!!!

Marcea was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would not have had such a perfect day without all of her help and guidance in the year prior!

She has an incredible network and knowledge of vendors in the area, and it is immensely valuable to have someone help you narrow down the choices when they seem endless. After the vendor selection, she keeps all of the different pieces moving forward, is very clear about deadlines and action items on your end, and is able to give great guidance for things you are unsure of.

She will also take into account your budget needs, with tips on where it's worth it to spend money, and where it makes sense to save. She has some great DIY inspirations, and even a bank of rentable decor that is super budget-friendly.

Day of, she took care of every single detail with the vendors and setup, so the groom and I had nothing to do but relax and enjoy.

It really felt like she took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and helped us reflect our personalities in our big day.

I could not recommend someone more than Marcea/MG Event Design. You will be in great hands!

Working with Marcea gave us all a sense of reassurance and guidance throughout the year-long planning process. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us. It was a true gift to be able to enjoy every second of my child's wedding day and not have to worry about a single detail. Marcea had it all covered; even coming to the rescue with a sewing kit. Thank you, Marcea!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marcea for our wedding at the Fairmont, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From our very first meeting, she was incredibly attentive, truly listening to what we wanted and always making us feel supported. One of the things we appreciated most was her flexibility—she was willing to take on as much or as little as we needed throughout the planning process, which really helped reduce our stress.

Her experience and creativity showed in every detail. She came to us with so many thoughtful, unique ideas and helped shape a wedding day that was both beautiful and deeply personal. We trusted her recommendations and ended up going with all of her suggested vendors—every single one was absolutely fabulous.

Our wedding day was flawless, and we’re still getting compliments months later from guests who say it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended. It wouldn’t have been possible without her. If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, stop looking—you’ve found the best.

Marcea was easy to work with and very professional. We appreciated her expertise for vendor recommendations and execution with little guidance on both coordination and event design - we were very pleased with how our wedding day turned out!
