Marsha, and her team at Stardust are exemplary. 10/10!

Marsha and her entire team and store (Stardust) are absolutely amazing. I would NEVER have been able to put together the most beautiful, tasteful, elegant, and all around perfect wedding, dress for my daughter, veil, gloves, etc without Marsha and her whole team. They are the epitome of professionalism, compassionate, patience, encouragement, kindness, and detail oriented that I hope for always when hiring for an important project. The outcome and experience from start to finish, and due to Marsha's incredible relationships with all the best venues and outfits that fall under the umbrella of "all things wedding related". I truly can't recommend them enough, and can't wait to work with them again for my younger daughters wedding when that time comes. We purchased the full package, as I am disabled, and that is the package I recommend. You will have no idea of anything that ever goes a bit wrong on the day of the wedding. I have nothing but praise to give for Stardust and particularly Marsha who is the owner, and lead planner. You too will feel that was money SO WELL USED and worth every penny and then some!

The BEST Wedding Planners!!

Peyton has the extraordinary ability to transform dreams into reality with grace, ease, and creativity. Her eye for design brought every detail to life in a way that felt magical and PERFECTLY tailored to us. Planning my wedding was no small feat- it was a complex destination wedding with strict rules that 99% of venues don’t have, but Peyton navigated every challenge with poise and expertise, turning obstacles into opportunities for something even more beautiful! From start to finish, she created an experience that I will truly cherish forever.

Through it all, Peyton was more than just a wedding planner- she became my best friend, offering calm, unwavering support that made even the most stressful moments feel effortless. Her dedication is a reflection of Stardust, a company that genuinely cares about its clients and consistently goes above and beyond to create something extraordinary. Now that the wedding is over, I miss working with Peyton and the entire Stardust team so much. Their kindness, professionalism, and creativity made every step of the process a joy.

I truly hope I have the opportunity to work with Peyton again in the future. Her talent and commitment are unmatched, and I wouldn’t even consider using anyone else for any event! If you’re on the fence about choosing a wedding planner, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d be more than happy to share my experience and answer any questions you may have. Working with Peyton and Stardust was the best decision I could have made!

Highly Recommend Peyton and the StarDust Team!

I could not have better things to say or higher praise for the entire StarDust Team!

Shonna helped us with the rehearsal dinner and she made the process so easy! We told her we wanted a Christmas/Winter theme at the restaurant we choose and she made the dream a reality!

Peyton is the absolute best wedding planner out there! Peyton’s thoughtful approach and attention to detail truly made our special day perfect. From the moment we started planning, she took the time to understand our vision and made sure every aspect of the day reflected what we wanted!

Not only did Peyton personalize every detail of the wedding to us, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that our guests had an amazing experience. From the decor to the wedding day activities, everything was meticulously planned to create a memorable and seamless event.

Thanks to Peyton’s expertise and organization, the day ran so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. Her professionalism and dedication were truly exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.



If you're looking for someone who will make your wedding day truly special and unforgettable, we highly recommend Peyton. Thank you for everything, Peyton!

Ryan and Rebecca’s Wedding

My husband and I got married a little over a month ago. We are still in awe of our wedding day. It could not have gone so smoothly or been so perfect without Marsha and her team. Everyone at Stardust were so wonderful and professional. It exceeded my expectations, and I want to thank each and everyone at Stardust who helped make our wedding day the most unforgettable experience of our lives. I have so many fond memories of working with our wedding planner Marsha. She really does care about her clients. The best decision my parents and I made was hiring her. If you are looking for the best wedding planner to work with, choose Stardust. They work so closely with you during the whole way to make sure your day is nothing but perfect.

Weddings by Stardust was a pleasure to work with and we can't imagine what the wedding planning process would have been like without them.

Weddings By Stardust exceeded my wildest expectations. I would highly recommend to any bride and groom! My husband and I had a 3-day wedding weekend planned that included a rehearsal luncheon, a traditional wedding ceremony, a formal dinner, and a Saturday reception with 300+ guests. Peyton, our lead planner, was such a reassuring, attentive, detail oriented planner. She was always available and responsive, no matter what time I'd text or email her. I now believe there is a real psychology behind talking to the bride in a way that was always comforting, always thinking ahead, handled and had an answer for every little last minute question or worry I had. I never intended on working with any wedding planners or coordinators, but I think all my lucky stars I turned it over to Peyton. Furthermore, I could have never pulled off a big weekend like this all alone. Peyton, Shonna, Jayce and Marsha, I can't thank you guys enough for all the hours of planning, meetings, and attention to the details you all put into our wedding to make it so special. Detail oriented, reassuring, and 100 steps-ahead of you. Weddings by Stardust was a pleasure to work with and we can't imagine what the wedding planning process would have been like without them.

My husband and I look forward to partnering for more events, parties and anniversaries with Weddings By StarDust.

Exceptional Service

We’d like to thank Marsha and her team heartfelt for making our daughters wedding a fairytale. Our daughter lives in MD, we live in HI and the wedding was happening in TX. We needed all the help that we could find. Marsha had the knowledge, the connections with all the vendors and understood my daughter and son-in-law’s vision. We ended up with a better wedding than we could ever have imagined. It was stress free, well planned - well in advance. We had a last trip to meet in TX in February (wedding was April 15th) and all last details were done then. Before the wedding Marsha told us that she’d take care of anything and everything the wedding day and only let us know if it affected us financially. And she did. I still don’t know if there were any details that didn’t go as planned. For us it was a dreamy day just focusing on the happy couple and having so much fun. We were taking care of from the first contact until the day after the wedding. The vendors she works with are phenomenal. We are so thankful and hope that other families gets to experience the wedding planning as fun and stressfree as we did. Thank you Marsha, Peyton and Jacy!

Turns you vision into a reality!

Wonderful! Jacy and the Wedding by StarDust team did a phenomenal job transforming my son and his fiancee's very broad vision into a stunning reality!! Having used them for my daughters wedding, who had a very different style than my son, it is clear they listen to the wants of each client and don't steer them into a cookie cutter style as they were very different but equally stunning!!

Tasteful, Elegant, Creative & Easy: Weddings by Stardust

Weddings by Stardust made our wedding dreams come true! I told them I wanted a big, elegant and extravagant wedding and did they ever deliver! Marsha is truly a wedding fairy godmother! They were available for anything we needed and responsive for every moment during the year we planned our wedding.

They have relationships with all the top and best local vendors and made making decisions fun and easy.

When asked what I wanted from a wedding, I told her, “I want to go to a wedding I’ve never been to before. I don’t want to copy or repeat anything anyone else has done but make it personal, beautiful and enchanting.”

Stardust’s creativity and willingness to push us and make special moments for us, our family and guests, were so special: we had an organist play the Jurassic Park theme song in a church, a choir do a flash mob style rendition of stand by me, greenery and lighting tunnel for guests to walk through in the reception, 4 course Italian-inspired meal, espresso martini bar and after party for the ages.

The best part, is that we could tell Marsha and her team had FUN planning this celebration with us. They are true partners, creators and wedding fairy godmothers!

CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!

We had 5 separate events in 1 weekend that they planned and executed to perfection. If you want the absolute best with people who cause NO DRAMA and ensure everything runs smoothly, then Weddings by Stardust is your only option. They are PERFECTION!

Best of the BEST.

Working with Marsha, Peyton and The Stardust team exceeded our expectations in every way.

I could not get over how much time Marsha and Peyton dedicated to getting to know us on a personal level. Their amount of patience with my husband (who made it clear he was not into this stuff 75% of the time) and I was exceptional.

They kept us on task all the while making the long process feel fun and light.

Having already been married 11 years ago… I wanted this to be special for my husband and truly capture “us”… I knew what I did NOT want… but not so much what I actually wanted. Marsha and Peyton gave us the ideal wedding. Their attention to detail was above and beyond. It was a bazillion times better than my first wedding (which is saying a lot).

Stardust connected us with awesome vendors and coordinated and stayed on top of everything with the venue— so we were not even more stressed and overwhelmed than we were. The night was both beautiful and so so much fun. Plus, we just completely trusted their expertise-- and had to worry about nothing-- day of.

People have not stopped talking about the wedding and Team Stardust made sure everything flowed perfectly…. Which is saying a lot because there were so many moving parts.

Peyton was the absolute perfect lead. Professional. Friendly. Funny. Patient. We loved our experience and would HIGHLY recommend them. I wish I could go back to that night! I could not have asked for a more perfect evening / day. My husband won't stop talking about it and is raving about Stardust.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
