Chris Sent on 09/26/2022Fun, joyful experience
Marianna and her team were awesome! She is a joy to work with and someone I would choose again. She helped us pick out vendors if we needed, give us advice on style, colors, anything! She responded fast and promptly and was always upbeat. There is something about mariana that just puts you at ease. She has a great vibe on the phone and in person. And when you are planning a wedding that’s exactly what you need. All in all she was our first vendor picked and she helped us all the way to the wedding day! My only thing I wish we did different was meet in person. But with all of our schedules, Covid, and ease of using zoom or phones there never seemed a need too. We loved her and my wife couldn’t be happier! -

Victoria Sent on 12/20/2025So Grateful for Mariana’s Support on Our Big Day
Mariana was incredibly helpful and truly made my wedding process so much easier. Her communication with my vendors was excellent, and she helped prevent several potential mishaps by staying on top of any miscommunication that came up. She was organized, attentive, and always ahead of things, which made the entire day run smoothly.
Her timing and coordination were spot-on, and she handled last-minute changes and details with ease—especially when I was feeling completely burnt out as a bride. Mariana was truly amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive day-of coordinator. -

“Working with our wedding planner was the best decision we made! From the very beginning, she was organized, attentive, and truly listened to our vision. Every detail, big and small, was handled with so much care, and she always went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. On the day of the wedding, we were able to fully relax and enjoy ourselves knowing everything was in her hands. Our guests were raving about how seamless and beautiful everything was, and it was all thanks to her hard work. We are forever grateful!” -

Truly Amazing!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marianna. She was as an exceptional wedding coordinator who made my wife and I special day truly unforgettable. From start to finish, she was warm, professional, courteous, and so much fun to work with. Her calm demeanor and positive energy put us at ease even when things didn’t go exactly as planned.
When we misplaced an item, needed to rearrange decorations last minute, and had to navigate some unexpected weather—she was already on top of everything before we could even ask. Her proactive approach and ability problem solving so quickly was nothing short of amazing.
She took care of every detail with grace and efficiency, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy our wedding . She called emailed and held zoom called with us and all our vendors to get everyone on the same page. I absolutely will utilize her services again b/c was exceptional. Highly recommend! Thank you again Marianna! -

Jennyffer Sent on 02/26/2024Excellent Wedding Assistance!
Mariana was so effective in helping me and my husband in coordinating the religious wedding pieces so effectively! She made sure that there was full communication with the church in the Dominican republic and she was the "middle man" in coordinating the legal documents for us to ensure we could get married for our destination wedding in Punta Cana! She also was great with assisting us with multiple projects when it came to collecting guests RSVP's and dealing with our vendors to ensure all is going well. We enjoyed having her help us and she handled everything with a lot of professionalism and excellence- thank you Mariana from Jen and Nel! -

Amazing, professional, and on top of everything
You could not ask for a better coordinator. Mariana and her team are super diligent and know exactly what they're doing. Our wedding ran smoothly and if anything did go wrong that day, I never found out! They were great at organizing everything and making sure me, my husband, our family, and our giant wedding party was in the right place at the right time. They were also great assistants to our photographer who had to wrangle a huge group of people for photos. It was such a relief having Mariana contacting all of our vendors the week before and making sure everyone was on the same page. I seriously could not have asked for a better team on what very much was the best day of my life. My only regret is that I can't throw more incredible parties with them all the time! -

Best coordinator ever
Mariana was excellent from the beginning to the end. She went above and beyond if I could give her 1,000 stars I would. Me and my husband are very pleased. We will always recommend her services. Mariana is the most Down to earth month/ day of coordinator I have ever met . Since day one I felt like I already new her and I new I was in good hands. On the day of my wedding we also met Cindy who also help assist with our wedding. she was very sweet as well. So please if you are looking to book Mariana services what are you waiting for book now. -

Mariana and her assistant were life savers. We hired her as day of coordinator and best investment. There’s a lot going on day of wedding and things happen.

Our wedding day wouldn’t have been possible without Elusions Event Planning. Mariana is the absolute best!! Not only is she extremely professional and knowledgeable but she is a kind person. Since we started planning our wedding years ago, she always made us feel like she truly cared about us and our day and was always checking in and offering to help. There were a few hiccups throughout our day and Mariana knew exactly what to do at every turn. She made our event seamless and was doing so much for us behind the scenes, I truly don’t know what we would have done without her and her assistant. It was an absolute pleasure working with Elusions Event Planning and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner, designer or day-of coordinator. Mariana anticipates a d goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Thank you again! -

Grace Sent on 11/19/2020Awesome wedding coordinator!
What can I say?! Mariana & her assistant Cindy were lifesavers! My husband and I had postponed our wedding twice already due to Covid, but then decided to have our wedding in October at a private home in Connecticut. Now this means, basically transferring all our vendors also from Long Island to New Fairfield CT. Without Mariana & Cindy’s help during the day of the wedding, we seriously wouldn’t know if our wedding would have happened. Mariana also helped with the planning before the actual event, by calling all our vendors to make sure that things would go smoothly day of and giving us a checklist to go over! Honestly, we owe all the success to her & Cindy. Thank you ladies for making our wedding day flow smoothly, thus giving us a day to remember! -

Mariana treated me as if I were family. My day was magical in my head but I had no idea where to start and she helped guide me thru it all. My wedding being unique because we eloped at first she turned the whole day into a dream wedding for my family here at home. Being patient and calm with my demands leading with great suggestions. Made sure I was on time with my schedule leading up to my big day and made sure that I was always taken care of. She achieved my vision with a great budget and class. My guests truely enjoyed themselves. -

Can’t say enough great things about Mariana. Mariana really took charge on my wedding day and ensured I had the best possible experience with minimal stress. Days later I learned of a few potential disasters that Mariana averted.
I’m so thankful for her and her services can’t recommend her enough as a day of coordinator. -

I hired Mariana as a day of coordinator for my wedding reception. I had not met Mariana until the day of my wedding but on that day she really pulled through and helped me out. Mariana always responded to my questions and even helped me locate a church for the wedding ceremony in the beginning days of my planning. She is a really friendly, sweet and an approachable person. She kept on making sure that i was doing okay from few days before the wedding till few days after the wedding. I will surely recommend Mariana and seek her out for any of my future events. -

Princess Sent on 07/11/2016The Event Coordinators at Elusions Event Planning Services are highly professional and courteous, and deserve recognition. Our Catering Hall has worked with them on several occasions, and we are very pleased with their patience, service, and attention to detail. We see many event planners and vendors, and can tell right away whether the vendor is professional, cooperative and organized. Mariana is an excellent go-to person to assist with details to make any event successful and pleasurable. Feel free to contact Princess Manor Catering Hall with any questions regarding her level of service. -

Mike Sent on 06/09/20241000% Worth It
Mariana is professional and a natural at putting together exactly what you want just based on the information you give. We never met in person nor was Mariana able to be at the ceremony on the day because she helped us plan a wedding in ICELAND! She worked tirelessly to communicate with vendors in a different time zone, gave us plenty of options within our budget and desires. She continued to check in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly but was not overbearing. We could not have done this without her! Thank you so much. -
