    Marie is very passionate about wedding planning as well as her clients. She puts her heart into every detail, and her client's needs are her highest priority. She always made herself available to me, and with her expertise and experience, I felt at ease - well, as at ease as a bride can be when planning the most important day of her life! Marie is an all around great person, very pleasant and friendly to be around, and always has a smile on her face. I highly recommend Hashtag events for your wedding planning needs. You won't regret hiring Marie!

    Amazing.. couldn’t have asked for anything better

    I would hire Marie to help with my wedding over and over again. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done. She was there for every second that I needed something (especially with COVID). She is extremely supportive, helpful, and creative. She truly cares about her work and goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would recommend Marie to anyone I know. The best part was that her assistants had everything figured out and neither my husband nor I were bothered with questions the whole day. It was amazing to just enjoy the day and not worry at all

    Absolutely wonderful to work with!

    Working with Marie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are from out of state and needed every bit of help we could get to put together vendors and make our wedding come together. Right away we loved that she was willing to answer some questions on how her process worked and what it would be like to work with her and she was very professional about it. Her connections and previous experience working with so many vendors help us find which ones worked best for us and in our budget. She was able to reach out to them and handle a lot of the communication for us which we appreciated so much as we were in a different time zone and it was hard to start those conversations. She worked with us and met with us whenever we needed it and made us feel prepared and comfortable for our big day. Our day was absolutely wonderful and everything I wanted! She helped keep us on track and make sure everyone knew where to be and when, at one point in the day she was checking in with me and ended up sending out her jr assistant to get me a snack because I hadn't eaten since breakfast and was feeling it. And at the end of the night she made sure everything was in order so we could get back to our hotel and get some rest. Hashtag Events and Marie were such a wonderful addition to our day and we are so grateful for all the work she put in.

    I am so glad we decided to go with hashtag events for our wedding planning.  Marie did such a fantastic job.  Our wedding was so beautiful and we hardly had to do any work! Marie found us amazing deals from photography to the florist and even the officiant.  It really made our lives so much easier and on the day of all we had to do was enjoy it! She was so wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend hashtag events for any wedding planning needs!

    Couldn't have done it without her!!!!

    She was always there to help out and I had confidence throughout the whole process. Her to do lists are SO helpful and really kept everything on track. The day of services were just as amazing as the planning. The day of our wedding I didn't have to stress or point people in directions. I was able to enjoy and be in the moment which was so important to me. The rest of the day was smooth and just perfect! HIGHLY recommend.

    You Pay For What You Get Plus More

    Marie, is a kind person who is willing to go the extra mile for any of her couples. She is flexible and knows how to do her job well. She also makes sure her clients are taken care of, all the way through until the last guest leaves for the night.

    Last Minute Help!

    We LOVED Marie! We were so last minute, thinking we didn't need a coordinator... boy were we wrong! If you haven't, get one before you start running out of time. It will be worth every penny. She was so organized, listened to all of our wants, and followed through with our vision. She was a life saver!

    Russ and Lisa wedding

    Marie was an excellent wedding planner. She worked with our complex wedding coordinating with us when Lisa was in CA and I am in WI. We could not have done such a complex event with nearly 200 attendees during a COVID-19 year without her expertise. Well worth the money 👍. We chose Marie because she also coordinated my nieces wedding.

    Simply amazing!

    Marie was the best decision I ever made for my wedding! Not only is she so great to work with, I feel like I gained a friend along the way. I hired her for day of coordination and we met many times before my wedding to make sure everything was on track. And the day of my wedding- I didn’t worry about a thing. Everything went on perfectly and I know it was because of her. I should add my wedding happened during COVID, so double the stress, and Marie was there for every change and annoying thing I wanted done. Hands down worth every penny and more. Thank you Marie!!! ❤️

    Dear Marie: I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all you did for daughter's wedding. You took care of all the major things associated with a wedding and reception. But also made time for all the little things that I would have missed.
    Your attention to detail made it possible for me to enjoy the entire day with my daughter . Thank you for all you did.Your knowledge and expertise in event planning gave my daughter a beautiful wedding and you gave me wonderful memories. Sincerely Lucille

    Totally worth it.

    When my wife told me that she wanted a wedding planner I wasn't sold on it thinking that we could do it ourselves. But boy was I wrong.

    Marie helped make our wedding day perfect. She helped us choose and deal with our officiant, photographer, florist, DJ and makeup. She made the wedding day smooth and painless, allowing us to focus on ourselves rather than trying to focus on a schedule. I'm sure that there is more that I am overlooking simply because I didn't have to worry about a thing!

    Definitely worth it

    Having a day of coordinator is so unbelievably needed, especially if you have an outdoor wedding. There were a lot of different vendors and moving pieces at my wedding and Marie did an excellent job making sure all was organized and issues were dealt with (bonus is I had no idea there were issues at all!). She allowed me to breathe and enjoy my day without worry. Thank you Marie!

    Would not plan anything without her help!

    Marie and I became friends through her being my wedding planner. She helped me plan my wedding DURING COVID! I lost my mind and she found it! She was so flexible and Extremely helpful.
    Before covid hit, I thought I had everything together, but as things got closer-I realized how much I needed her.

    The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to her. She made sure every detail was what I wanted. At one point the photographer asked me something and I said “sure “ and Marie caught me and said “no, you wanted this...” I was sooo thankful for that. When you are on your wedding day you don’t es t to have to think, you do not want your mom or guests to have to pick up any slack and Marie made sure everyone was able to enjoy our day! She e en made sure our dog made it down the aisle! My brother and his fiancé were so impressed, they used her for their wedding 2 months later!

    Marie is also very passionate about what she does and very educated. I would t rust anybody else!

    I am so thankful for hashtag events! Go Marie

    Marie and her team are wonderful. Marie is a great communicator and follows up quickly. She is calm and confident in her work, making it easy to rely on her. I felt prepared going into our wedding day, and even though Marie was only our "day of planner", she made sure that we were ready ahead of time. Marie took care of several unpleasant issues during our wedding, and we both had no idea anything was the matter. We could not thank Marie and Samantha enough for being part of our wedding day!

    I absolutely loved working with Marie! She met with me countless of times and also worked with me over the phone to go over both big and fine details. She made sure to stay updated and keep me on track since she was our day of coordinator. Honestly I don't know what I would have done without her. I completely relied on her and her assistant on the big day to answer everyone's questions and take care of all the details. It was amazing, and because of her, I was able to just enjoy our big day and take it all in. I loved working with her and I can only imagine all the stunning work she'd be able to if we hired her to help plan as well. I definitely recommend her for anyone on the biggest and happiest day ever!!

    Marie was such a pleasure to work with. My wedding took place in July 2016 and there were a lot of moving parts to the planning - Marie helped me every step of the way. I hired her later in the wedding planning process (3 or so months before) and my only regret was not hiring her sooner. With several food vendors, a difficult photographer, and a timeline that was less than ideal Marie made our wedding the best day for my husband and I. We can't thank her enough for turning our wedding into everything we dreamed it would be. If you are considering a wedding planner, you won't go wrong with Hashtag Events!

    Marie at "Hashtag Events" threw an amazing party. This wasn't for a wedding, but a super fun themed-party. I was amazed when I walked into the venue and seen all of the work she had done. She transformed a room that was completely drab and uninteresting into a place where people would have fun for hours. Everywhere you looked, there was something new and exciting to look at. Marie went over and above planning this party, did more with her budget than I ever thought possible, and made it a night to remember. I would highly recommend Marie for any event, whether it be a baby shower, kid's birthday, or even your wedding. Marie was amazing!

    Your Easiest Decision in Wedding Planning

    I don’t even know where to start. Our original wedding coordinator had to step down for family reasons and even though it was about 7-8 months before the wedding, I was still panicking about finding a coordinator. A friend recommended Marie’s services. Everything happens for a reason and we are so glad we had Marie! I had most of the planning done already, so we hired her for day-of coordination, but she did so much more than just that. She kept us on top of our to-do list, even giving us to-dos that we wouldn’t have thought of without her. It wasn’t just day-of services with her; she worked with us months in advance and kept us on track leading up to the wedding. I felt so scatterbrained in getting all of the parts together. It felt like I had a 1000-piece puzzle and struggled getting the pieces to fit. After finding Marie, I honestly felt like I could stop worrying (as much) for the first time. She coordinated with our other vendors so that my husband and I didn’t have to worry about answering all of their questions and giving them specific directions, which let us relax on our final week before the wedding and focus on what was most important to us. She helped us with many aspects of our day to help it go off without a hitch, but she still gives control to the couple. She didn’t try to take over the planning or dismiss any ideas we had, but she was there to make suggestions and help us when we needed assistance. I truly believe that she was a big part in helping us enjoy our day as husband and wife instead of working to coordinate and handle details. It let us prioritize ourselves and our families. Marie is a professional and has her stuff together. I recommend her services to every couple planning a wedding, and to anyone needing assistance in planning an event. Things will always come up, but you can relax knowing you have Marie in your corner.

    Marie and her team are absolutely committed to making sure your wedding day is outstanding. They have the experience and expertise to deal with all the details to ensure your special day comes off without a hitch, putting into reality all that you've envisioned. Professional, seasoned, and a good-hearted person. I look forward to working with Hashtag Events for other events in the future and will certainly recommend them to my friends and family.

    My wife and I wearnt sure if we wanted a wedding planner but I am glad we did and I am very glad we went with hashtag events. Marie was very kind and very easy to work with and she did so much for us. We didn't know what we were doing but she was there every step of the way and she made things so much easier for us. Our wedding was easily the best day of our lives and Hastag events was a big part of that.

    Carolyn and Casey wedidng

    We hired Marie for our 2020 wedding and she helped us through postponing the wedding to our new date in 2021. Although we only met her once, she felt like a trusted friend. She was a great resource to help us find vendors, to answer questions, to create a working to-do list, and to create a timeline. Marie and the Hashtag team coordinated wedding events for us at family residences without a venue staff. We had a traditional tea ceremony, wedding ceremony, and reception. The Hashtag team was wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend them enough!

    Outstanding addition to our wedding!

    Hands down the best decision to add Marie with Hashtag Events to my wedding day! Her assistant and her made my day far less stressful so I could fully enjoy it. Honest to God, I recommend hiring her for set up, take down, dog watching, day of coordination. We hired her at her full package and wouldn't have done it different!

    Amazing.. couldn’t have asked for anything better

    I would hire Marie to help with my wedding over and over again. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done. She was there for every second that I needed something (especially with COVID). She is extremely supportive, helpful, and creative. She truly cares about her work and goes ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would recommend Marie to anyone I know. The best part was that her assistants had everything figured out and neither my husband nor I were bothered with questions the whole day. It was amazing to just enjoy the day and not worry at all

    Very Thankful

    I met Marie with Hashtag Events at the wedding show in Oshkosh. She exceeded everyone of my expectations. The months leading up to the wedding she was always checking in to make sure I was getting tasks completed. The day of our wedding she was there from start to finish and took so much pressure off me and our families so everyone was able to truly enjoy the day. She is very reasonably priced for the amount of work she does! 100/10 would recommend!

    Marie did a wonderful job as our day of coordinator. It was so nice not having to deal with any mishaps that may have occurred during the day because Marie was on top of it!

    My advice is go with another planner or at the very least set your expectations low. If you are in the Madison area call Angela Daus - I switched my planner a month before my wedding thank god. Marie has a nice personality but if you are looking to plan anything above a parking lot barbecue, some refinement in the planner you chose is required. She's prompt in email but the what actually gets accomplished is minimal. Expect to do all the leg work and get a perfectly "professional" email from Marie reminding you of things you already know and none of the task you asked her to complete done. The contract is for her protection and you will pay a good amount of money for nothing. She's cheap as far as planners in the area go but you can find others at her price point who will actually perform as you need them to. I made the mistake of not canceling my contract with Marie sooner. Good Luck planning and happy wedding.

    Didn't deliver on wedding day

    I am very disappointed to have to write this review. (DISCLAIMER - I gave Marie from Hashtag Events an opportunity to address my concerns privately via email, and it has been over two weeks without acknowledgement from her.)

    I hired Marie to be my Day-Of Coordinator over a year out from my wedding. She was recommended to me from another vendor, who after seeing her work at my wedding, apologized to me and said she would never be recommending Marie again.

    At the beginning, Marie was confident, helpful, and easy to chat with. However, as the wedding got closer, I felt that she didn't really listen to me during our planning calls. There were times where I answered the same question at least three times. This was frustrating because it made me feel like she wasn't keeping track of what I was saying, and was disorganized.

    I was a DIY bride and most of the tasks Marie was asked to do beyond vendor coordination involved setting up/taking down decor. The "hardest" thing she was asked to do was check and refill our drink coolers because we did not have bar service. Friends and family were assigned other tasks to help get things ready for the big day.

    At my rehearsal dinner, Marie introduced herself as someone who was going to be the "go-to" person and problem solver - she did not follow through. Even at the rehearsal, she was flustered and did not put my nerves at ease.

    On wedding day, I had very little interaction with her and her two assistants. But found out later from my friends and family all the things that she neglected to do that she agreed to do. She did not put the table cloths on the tables before catering got there. She did not monitor or restock the coolers. She did not put the desserts out on the dessert table. She did not clean up my ceremony decor from outside and bring it inside. Beyond those important tasks that my family picked up the slack on, she did not have our marriage certificate ready for the time of signing, or cake plates/the knife ready for our cake cutting, which led to confusion and wasted time.

    My husband and I were generous to Marie and her team, paying for her to stay an extra night in the hotel (she traveled to Milwaukee) and giving a nice tip. As we did not find out about the poor quality of her work until after the wedding, we didn't have any immediate reservations when giving her the tip, but now we regret it.

    Maybe Marie would be a better fit for a non-DIY bride, but I would not recommend her to anyone.
