My (now) husband and I were introduced to Michael through a contact at our venue. It was the moment that our wedding planning shifted from “What are we doing?” to “We cannot wait to do this!”

When that contact told us about Michael, she mentioned that he is the best in the business at bringing out couples’ personalities for the wedding. This proved to be true, where every idea we threw his way he would take in stride and develop ways to make it happen. This is one of my favorite parts of working with Michael; we would share what we thought were wild ideas (naming the tables after Hollywood divas; doing the after party at a bowling alley) and he would always say, “yes, and…” Even when it was a terrible idea (putting in music video televisions; not doing seating at the ceremony) he would say “yes and …” while gently guiding us back to realizing it was a horrible idea, allowing his expertise and tact to shine through, and our trust to grow with it.

What’s key here is that Michael doesn’t just hear you; he listens. He makes everyone - parents, guests, etc. - feel heard and included. (Even when, perhaps, the grooms didn’t want them to be.)

Of the many compliments we received on our big day - our suits, our smiles - one we received over and over again was, “and your planner is clearly amazing.” So many guests said the event “felt like you,” which is a large tribute to the work and professionalism Michael brings to his projects, and the very reason for which we were introduced to him all that time ago. We’re better for it. We may just renew our vows if only to work with him again.

It is not an exaggeration to say that we could not have pulled off our outdoor wedding without the guidance of Michael Marcoux!

Throughout our entire planning process, Michael was organized, responsive, incredibly invested, and a joy to work with! He brings years of experience, expertise and relationships in the RI and MA area, and is truly passionate about planning weddings true to each individual couple.

We were married in Marion, MA in a tented ceremony with 240 people in September. One week before, we started to get wind (literally) of an ominous weather pattern - a hurricane - headed straight towards our reception location. Michael handled the entire situation like a total pro. I cannot overstate his commitment during this week, from driving to the tent location at 6 a.m. every morning to checking in with every vendor multiple times to ensure they were still coming to the wedding. Michael was a lifesaver and rockstar, and his dedication truly shined. On the day of our wedding, as the storm passed, we didn't have to worry about one single detail - he had it under control.

We loved working with Michael. You're not going to find a more committed planner. He helped us turn our dreams into a reality, and we are forever grateful.

We first decided to work with Michael based on a number of conversations with him where it was clear that he was exceptionally organized, would honor our vision, and would provide us with great recommendations along our journey. He stayed true to our first impressions throughout the process. As a couple planning a wedding from 2000 miles away, it gave us confidence and peace of mind to have Michael on the ground for us, making sure every detail was addressed. He was extremely responsive anytime we had a question, and would always keep us on track with any deadlines (we needed a lot of help with that part!). The team of vendors that Michael recommended and we selected for the big day were so well coordinated and on the same page. We know that Michael’s influence was a major part of that.

On the day of, Michael was so well prepared, cool, calm, and collected. It again made us feel so confident that everything was going to go off without a hitch - and it definitely did! We never had to worry or be bothered about a thing. It was the perfect day, and we’ll always be grateful to Michael for making it so. We couldn’t have done it without him.
