    Highly Recommended

    Maura was phenomenal to work with! Her helping us stay on top of things and staying on schedule and mapping it all out, helped make wedding day go seamlessly. She was phenomenal come wedding day as well, with helping the day flow smoothly, alleviating big day pressures, and taking care of anything that came up unexpectedly on wedding day.

    She is the best!

    We loved Maura so much. Between her and her “second” we had everything taken care of on the day of the wedding.. I didn’t have to lift a finger or think too hard about any extra details! She even offered to rewrap my groom’s gift (because he wrapped it in Christmas paper, bless him..)!! She’s one of a kind and on top of everything! WELL worth her full package price!

    Best Planners in TN!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about these girls. Maura, Karrie, and Meredith were the best people I could have asked for to lead Cole and I's special day. They made the process so smooth from beginning to start. Even the day of the wedding, I expected some hiccups, but there were NONE! The price was so affordable too and with the work quality they give you, it was amazing. YES, YES, and YES! Hire them!

    Everything I Wanted and More!

    Maura and her team made wedding planning a breeze. I initially wanted just a day-of coordinator for my special day, but I was so happy with all the extra help I received from Maura in the months before the wedding. Not to mention she and her assistants were simply the sweetest and most thoughtful in ensuring everything matched my preference on and before the big day. I could not have asked for a better experience!

    Made Our Day Smooth!

    Maura was a full on planner for my husband and my wedding. We found the most value in the day of planner. Everything felt smooth and easy. It's always hard to communicate what your vision for your wedding is and where to get started but Maura's check ins and to do lists were a great asset. At times, it did feel like I still didn't know what direction to take with the planning and if I was really on target but it all ended up being perfect and dreamy.

    The BEST for East TN!

    Working with Maura was such a dream experience!! She and her team went above and beyond from planning to coordinating everything on the day of. Hiring a day of coordinator was a must as we started to plan and budget. Her rate was in-budget and beyond worth adding to your list if you’re on the fence. Working with Maura was such a great experience and we’d recommend her to anyone!!

    Best wedding planner ever!

    We absolutely loved working with Maura and her team for our wedding. Not a planner myself, Maura was exactly the person I needed to keep me grounded and reassured with all the wedding plans and details. I feel like wedding planning was definitely her calling. She has a great book of business to provide a variety of vendors based on your vision and budget. She was so much fun to work with and truly helped me so much. Im so glad we had her and her team planning our wedding! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

    Please Hire Maura!! Her & Her Team Are Amazing.

    Maura was amazing! She was always so quick to respond and would let us know when she would be unavailable. She also really cared about what we wanted and would do her best to accommodate. She also did a great job with doing research in the Washington D.C. area. She isn't afraid to explore new areas and do what it takes to make her client happy. Her day-of coordinating is also spot on and very helpful. She makes sure everything is set up for success and it sure worked for us because everything was on time the whole day.

    I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

    Absolutely perfect

    Maura and her assistant were fabulous and essential in making our wedding a flawless one. Maura thought of everything as we talked through our plans and the day of. On the day of the wedding she and her assistant were on the ball and available to answer questions and help problem solve. I really honestly don’t know what we would have done without them. I would hire ML Celebrating Forever over and over again. We’re forever grateful for Maura and her hard work that went into making our day perfect.

    You MUST use Maura!

    My wedding would not been the same without Maura. She is so organized and helpful. At the beginning of the process she created a timeline that broke up all of the tasks into certain months. Each month we met over FaceTime and she made sure everything was going smoothly and that I was keeping up with the well thought out timeline. Her recommendations and relationships with amazing vendors made decision making so much easier. When it came to the day of, she coordinated deliveries and set up so well and everything was beautiful. At the reception she brought my husband and I food, and made sure we were pleased with how things were going. She did such a good job of making sure everything was on track and running smoothly. Our day would not have been as successful or special without her organization and attention to detail. I can tell she really cares about making your wedding day as easy and stress-free as possible. She cares so much about her clients and I would recommend her to every bride!

    Totally worth it!!

    Professional and easy to work with! Maura reached out to me a few months before the wedding and it was literally the best thing that could have happened! I didn't have to be burdened about the fine details or delegating anyone to do anything. She took care of it and handled everything! I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

    Fantastic value and service

    Maura was amazing to work with and she made the experience run smoothly. She helped me with day of coordination and partial planning before the big day. She was so responsive and helpful, especially as I became busy with work before the wedding and couldn’t spend as much time planning. She executed my vision for my special day so that my husband and I were able to experience and enjoy our ceremony and reception!

    A Perfect Planner!

    Maura, with ML Celebrating Forever was STELLAR! I am a professional wedding DJ who has been in the business for over ten years. Working with Maura was an exceptional experience. She was on top of the details from "day one", but she also maintained a personal and kind demeanor from our first planning meeting to cleaning up after the reception. My favorite part about working with her was how peaceful she was during the execution of the ceremony and reception. Maura had things under control so that the bride and groom could relax and enjoy their day... as you can imagine, this made my day much better also!
    I highly recommend ML Celebrating Forever!

    Maura was a God send

    Maura was an absolute godsend as my day of coordinator. I hired her two months before the wedding and during that time she checked in numerous times to makes sure I had all my ducks in a row and was my sounding board to make sure I had everything planned out. I provided all the decorations and not only did she help set up, she took care of all the decorations while managing vendors while I got ready. We had an awful DJ ( I wont get into that since it isnt a review of him) but Maura and her assistant stepped up and managed him and made the whole thing go as smoothly as possible and turned into the MC's for the night. She kept us on schedule, made sure we had food set aside, and managed to guide me through the stresses that come with a wedding. They even cleaned up after and organized all my decorations and boxed them up for easy loading.
