Well Organized Team!

Michele was awesome to work with! She really made sure that I had "no worries" the days leading up to my wedding and on my wedding day. She was always available by email or text. Her monthly to do lists were so helpful in keeping me on track with the wedding planning. She left no question unanswered. On my wedding day, I did not have to worry about anything. Michele and her team had a timeline of the whole day. They made sure all the vendors were in place and made sure that everything was going as planned. I would recommend Michele and her team to any bride planning her big day!

We were so over the moon with how our wedding turned out! Even 2 months later, we still hear from our guests about how much fun they had at our wedding and how beautiful and we’ll organized it was! We’ll remember that day for the rest of our lives, so thank you so much for helping make it a dream come true!

Must Have Wedding Planner!

We hired Michele as our wedding planner and she was nothing short of FABULOUS! Her time management and organizational skills are phenomenal. Her team is extremely professional and friendly. Michele helped to book our caterer, venue, floral event designer, hair and makeup artist, bakery for our cake, rehearsal dinner, wedding day hotel room, day of transportation and all the little details. We had a slightly complicated wedding with the ceremony 30 minutes away from the reception and the ceremony starting 4 hours before the reception start time and two outfit changes -- one for the groom prior to the reception and one for me during the reception. Luckily, Michele made sure we had good transportation and even arranged to have a long photo session during the break time. We were even able to have our own private dinner during the cocktail hour, in which she provided us toothpaste and toothbrushes to then go back out and socialize with minty fresh breath. She is SO THOUGHTFUL. Her team even took our personal items that we wanted to display (engagement photos, memorial table items, handmade items ordered from Etsy) and put them on display for us at our wedding. Every month she sent us a list of things upcoming and to-do. She coordinated all meeting times with the vendors which eliminated us having to do hours of research for different vendors and eliminated the massive emails one would get trying to plan a wedding without a planner. She'll make sure all save the dates, invitations and RSVPs are on-time to make it a completely stress free day for you. We absolutely loved that she took a personal interest in us as a couple and even made sure all vendors were on the same page with what we wanted for our wedding day. All the little details people tend to forget for weddings are covered by Michele. She even set up a full day final walkthrough a few weeks prior to the wedding day to ensure every vendor was on the same page and timeline. Her top-notch skills made our day absolutely perfect. With all of her preparation we literally did not have to do or think about one thing on our wedding day except ENJOY THE DAY! She is a definite must-have for your wedding day to ensure you have no worries!

No Worries! - The Perfect Wedding Day

5 stars could never be sufficient for the incredible job Michelle and her team did on my wedding day. Even more than that, they were there every step of the way. Michelle kept me on track with planning, was always available when I had questions or needer her, and was always incredibly professional, warm and friendly. I always looked forward to seeing her or hearing from her! She really treats her bride and groom as if they were family. Michelle was thorough in every detail - nothing could escape her diligence! I already thought she was incredible planning the wedding, but her and her team absolutely blew me away the day of my wedding. She handled everything that came up so I could have NO WORRIES. Seriously, I worried about absolutely nothing on my wedding day and I was able to completely enjoy the day because I knew Michelle and her team were handling everything perfectly and professionally. Even several of my guests commented on how smoothly the wedding ran and how professional the MorLina team was. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you, MorLina! You made a happy day even more perfect than I could have ever dreamed!

After numerous referrals from family and friends my fiancé and I did not have any doubts hiring MorLina Events for our March 2018 wedding. Michele is amazing! From day one Michele was always by our side helping us make decisions, sending us monthly emails (to-do lists), and she would always document our vendor meetings with her trademark selfies! Michele has vast knowledge of venues available and an even bigger family of “friend-dors”. If we ever had a concern or question Michele would quickly respond by email or text (even if she was on vacation). On our wedding day Michele and the MorLina team took wonderful care of us and it was truly a “no worries” experience! Michele has been a priceless asset in turning our dream wedding vision into reality. We are now proud to call Michele a friend and we are honored to be a part of the MorLina Events Family!

Michele and her team made our wedding day absolutely perfect and worry free! We had originally wanted to DIY everything from the centerpieces, to the planning process, but little did we know how much time/precision it would take to plan everything. From the minute we met at our initial consult, we automatically knew Michele was someone who we could trust to plan our special day. She was always a phone call/email away from questions that we had. She also made sure that every little detail was ironed out. She is very passionate about what she does and it definitely shows in the output. Her work was not only admired by us, but was complimented numerous times by our family/friends. Again, thank you Michele and your team for such an amazing job! =)

Words cannot expressed the amount of gratitude I owe Michele and her team. A month later and I still have friends and family complimenting my husband and I...telling us this was the best wedding they ever attended. I owe this to Morlina Events. Michele kept me focus, on schedule, and made sure that I had everything I needed. I truly fell in love with Michele and her team. She is an exceptional person and her team are the sweetest people I have ever worked with. I am so happy and pleased. Our wedding was PERFECT. I couldn’t be more happy. I wouldn’t change anything about my wedding. It was everything a girl could ever dream of...and Morlina Events definitely executed my every wish. Thank you The best decision I made was Michele and her wonderful staff. I can't imagine how everything would have happen without her expertise.

I knew about Morlina Events from my sister's wedding. I saw how exceptional their quality of service was. Therefore, when I got engaged with my now husband, I didn't think twice about contacting Michelle to help us plan our big day. In most cases, planning a destination wedding can be quite challenging due to the fact that we were from out of town and our source of communication were mostly phone calls, emails, and text messages, but Michelle handled everything so well that the planning process went so smoothly. She responded to calls/massages the moment she received them and kept us up to date throughout the entire process. She is well organized and pays really close attention to what her bride and groom want. The moment we let her know of any concerns that came along the way, she always made sure she was on top of them. "NO WORRIES" was exactly what we had with Michele and her wonderful Morlina Events team... and more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
