  Wedding went off like a dream!

  My husband and I worked with Maria for the roughly nine months leading up to our wedding at Casa Romantica in September 2019. Maria's work was excellent in every respect! We live on the East Coast but are very familiar with Orange County having both grown up in SoCal. However, long-distance wedding planning is no easy task. Maria made the planning easy and fun by helping us identify vendors that suited our tastes and budget, then my husband and I could pick between one or two vendors rather than having to sort through numerous vendors based on internet reviews. In each case, Maria nailed it. We went with Maria's top recommendation every time and each of those vendors met or exceeded our expectations on the day of the wedding. We got so many compliments on how stunning our wedding was -- from the flowers, to the food, to the desserts, to the DJ, to the servers -- and none of that would have been possible without Maria. And, Maria helps you keep track of the details and makes the process seamless. She's a pro! Above all, Maria is a pleasure to work with. It was clear from the start that she was excited about helping us with our wedding, and she was always responsive and available to discuss issues or answer questions. We can't say enough good things about working with Maria and would recommend her to any couple looking for help pulling off a perfect SoCal wedding!

  Maria Lindsay hands down was one of the most on-hand and on-point wedding planners that one could ask for. She was immensely helpful in guiding us through all of the details and components we needed to address for our special day. Her professionalism and attention to detail made it easy for us to hand her the reigns and let us fully enjoy our wedding day. One of the key moments of her help was in dealing with a crisis with our groomsmaids dresses. She made sure we had options available to us and that the dress vendor did what she knew they could do, rather than what they tried to tell us what they could do.
  
  From day one, she provided a manageable to-do list so we felt fully engaged but not overwhelmed during the process. She was fully available during the crunch time of the last few weeks before the wedding to answer any questions or last minute issues that arose. Her experience in planning weddings, particularly at our venue, was priceless. We did not initially budget for a wedding planner, but we are glad we did. We highly recommend Maria to anyone interested in her services.
  
  Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable.

  Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with! She helped us plan our wedding this past July at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach. She was always available when we needed her and was organized with making sure everything was done on time. She has great ideas to share and we loved her wedding vendor recommendations! She even went out of her way to help with suggestions for our rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea we had for our out-of-town guests. We highly recommend Maria if you need a wedding planner and you won't regret it! She's extremely professional and helpful with anything you need. Thank you Maria for all of your wonderful ideas and helping to make ours into a reality on our wedding day :)

  Maria was a dream come true! She made the entire wedding process easy and enjoyable. Maria was able to effortlessly coordinate a phenomenal wedding at the St. Regis within 3 months! I was a stress free bride and enjoyed each step.

  I found Maria Lindsay from a simple google search and knew immediately that I wanted to work with her. I was not a local bride and knew I would need the help of a coordinator to keep my sanity! Maria helped me every step of the way in the planning process. She was always available via phone and provided fast email responses (to my very lengthy emails!). She was also very understanding when I wanted to change my florist along the way. Her services made my wedding planning experience much more calm than I expected! When it was crunch time for the wedding she allowed me to mail multiple items to her home so I would not have to pack 100 suit cases for the big day!
  
  I felt totally at ease on the day of the wedding since she was handling everything and everyone that needed any direction!
  
  She is a wedding coordinator who you definitely want on your side because she kept me in line with my time frame and kept all my vendors on track as well! She has helped me for months after the wedding to make sure I do not have any problems with my wedding album and access to my photos.
  
  Thank you, Maria for an amazing experience and for all your hard work! It was simply icing on the (wedding) cake to have our wedding featured in Ceremony Magazine for 2012! Thank you for submitting our wedding!

  I'm so glad we hired Maria! She was terrific throughout the whole process of planning our wedding. She drove my fiancé and I around for a whole day, showing us venue after venue and worked tirelessly on every detail of our wedding. Even though it was just a small wedding with 125 guests and not a huge budget, she always made us feel like we came in first place, and I know she was planning many other weddings at the same time. I have a lot of respect for how she handles everything. Needless to say, our wedding was a beautiful day I look back on with fond memories.

  We loved Maria. She was very organized and always seemed one step ahead of us. We threw a lot of things at her all at once as we planned our wedding on our breaks because we're teachers. Maria understood our schedule needs. This was extremely important to us. Our wedding day was great and we would recommend her to anyone

  We really loved working with Maria. She really proved her years of
  experience while working on our wedding as well. In the beginning we didn¹t
  know what we wanted or where we even wanted the wedding to be so she took us
  out site seeing and by the end of the day we were certain. She put in hours
  of time and effort and we really appreciated that. What was most important
  to us though, was that she kept us in our budget. It never went over. We
  really liked her vendors too. They were nice, easy to work with,
  professional and worked together well. On the wedding day, we watched it all
  unfold and kept saying to ourselves, we're walking through our dream! "We
  can't thank Maria enough for that. In the end after everything is over, what
  really counts are the memories and that she made it happen for us. That's
  precisely why we hired her. Thank you Maria!
