Marissa and her team shocked me with how fantastic they were! What I found via a mere google search, wound up making my wedding. From our first phone convo, I knew Marissa would not only stand by my side throughout the process, but also understood my vision and would fight to turn it into a reality. Her team worked wonders and executed the day perfectly. My venue even contacted me to tell me how Virgo was the best wedding planner they ever worked with. The day of, her team was on it. They not only made me happy, they made my mom, my bridal party and even my father happy. They were professional, reliable, beautiful and hard working. They basically became members of our family and we are so so thankful that they worked with us. My decor was complicated and we needed so much assistance getting everything set up. And Marissa and her team did the thing. The decor, everything was perfection. -

Marissa and her team were incredibly organized, personable, and made sure to make our wedding go off without a hitch. There was a lot of DIY materials at my wedding and the day of I didn't even have to think about it, it was handled. I didn't have to worry about organizing my vendors or keeping them on task. she was fantastic and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner to help keep their event running smoothly -

Marissa and her staff’s services were superb! She’s very passionate about her work and really gives it her all as if the event is her very own!

Stress Free!
I was completely overwhelmed with trying to put my daughter's Sweet 16 together. Marissa showed me compassion, confidence and genuine excitement for the event and put me at ease. From start to finish, Marissa helped me bring the dream of an elegant garden sweet 16 to life!Virgo Event Planning's reply:
Tiffany, it was an honor to be a part of such a special day! It reminded me of the little girl inside of all of us who dreams of being a Princess even if it's just for a day. Thank you for including me! -

Rima M. Sent on 12/09/2022Nothing but great things to say! Super flexible with different cultures & customs!
Marissa was exactly what we were looking for when we started to plan our wedding. What she offered for us was more compared to others we talked to plus her pricing was super reasonable!! We're middle eastern and our weddings are different and she made sure she planned our wedding based off of our customs and traditions!
She was super patient with all our questions during the planning process and she also provided feedback where she saw there could be improvement which is very important! She was very thorough and professional with the whole planning process. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better planner to make our day the most amazing day ever. She was so sweet, down to earth and personable! We recommend her highly!Virgo Event Planning's reply:
Rima,
Thank you so much for your kind words :) I really enjoyed planning with you. You had so many amazing ideas and I enjoyed pulling them all together with you. Thank you for introducing me to your culture and all of the wonderful traditions. I was in bed for 2 days following your wedding. (Literally a non-stop party).
When you spent so much time talking, texting, and planning every detail it's hard not to get attached. Please don't be a stranger. I wish you and Anas the very best.
Sincerely,
Marissa -

Kenya S. Sent on 10/12/2022The Best Vendor We Hired!
My husband and I hired Virgo Event Planning 3 months before our wedding date, and it was the best decision we made. Marissa was one of our favorite vendors to work with. She was very professional, passionate, personable, prompt, detailed oriented, a great communicator, and gave us great feedback and suggestions when planning our wedding. I had the best time bouncing ideas and collaborating with her on our overall wedding vision. It was an absolute joy working with her and seeing how beautiful the vision was executed!! Thanks to all of her help, my husband and I had the best wedding day ever!! The entire day exceeded our expectations! I wish I could relive it all over again!! If you are looking for an exceptional event planner, look no further. Marissa and her team will go above and beyond! I can't say enough great things about her. I miss working with her already.Virgo Event Planning's reply:
Kenya and Matthew thank you so much for your kind words. I had so much fun helping you plan your special day. I miss working with you too. As I told you in the beginning I get attached to my clients. You're officially a part of the "Virgo family" and you're ALWAYS welcome to drop by the office/suite. Just give me a heads-up so I can have the wine chilled! -

Margaret Sent on 11/14/2022Outstanding
I worked with Marissa, of Virgo Event Planning, for my daughter's wedding this September. Marissa stepped in the few months leading up to the wedding and helped alleviate so much stress, reaching out to vendors to finalize the details and handling all of the paperwork needed. On the day of, Marissa made sure everyone was on track which helped us be at ease so we could truly enjoy the day. Outside of working with vendors, she always made it a point to check on me (the mother of the bride) and my daughter (the bride) to ensure we were OK. Marissa and her team went above and beyond! I highly recommend Virgo Event Planning. -

Anu M. Sent on 09/11/2022Exceptional service & great value!
Marissa and her team were exceptional! We hired Marissa for our wedding for her day-of coordination service but she delivered so much more! Marissa is kind, friendly, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is smart, organized, efficient, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough!!!
While most day-of (or month-of) services start 4 weeks before the wedding, Marissa was available to help us right from the day we reached out to her, providing recommendations even before we had officially hired her! Months before our wedding Marissa helped us think through the many decisions we had to make about the wedding, and was more than willing and able to help us with our event decor (including handling all our florals, and renting and setting up our chuppah).
Nearly 2 months before the wedding Marissa kicked into high gear, sending us checklists, making sure we were on track, and providing complementary access to AislePlanner which helped us organize ourselves. Marissa took over every aspect of event management from communicating & coordinating with other vendors, receiving all deliveries for our decor directly, making sure the legal aspects like marriage license were taken care of, and even taking delivery of the wholesale flowers we ordered online.
On the day of our wedding, Marissa took care of absolutely everything, allowing my husband and myself, and our families to enjoy ourselves without worrying about anything. She managed all the vendors, arranged all our decor (for our outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception), and managed a number of fires that we were not even aware of until after the fact! For example, our venue had a very slow dinner service which would have left us with no time for dancing but Marissa negotiated with them to give us an additional 30 mins to make up for the delays they caused, at no charge to us. After the wedding, Marissa and her team helped with the clean-up and neatly organized and returned all our decor.
Throughout the process, Marissa was extremely easy to work with - she was always there to provide her honest opinion and helped us make decisions while still allowing my husband and I to still make choices based on our preferences. Our wedding was an interfaith/secular wedding and while Marissa didn't have much prior experience with a Hindu-Jewish fusion wedding, she was able to "go with the flow" and helped us think through how to execute all the different ideas we had and also provided a lot of great ideas herself!
Marissa and her team are truly exceptional and we are very grateful to them for everything they did to make our big day such a success.Virgo Event Planning's reply:
Anu & Dan,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly was a pleasure. I am so grateful I get to wake up and do what I love every day. -

Natashia Sent on 07/05/2023Not Happy with overall experience
I was not happy with the quality of service I received. My limo company called me 2 days before my wedding to tell confirm times and locations and told me they called me because they left messages with my wedding coordinator who never called them back. There were conversations I had with Marissa about order of makeup on the phone and when I got my first draft of my wedding day itinerary it was all wrong. The first draft even had the groom getting to the church at 1pm when my ceremony was at 11am. I expected attention to details like that one and did not revive that. Also on two occasions, I was told that based on my mom’s design, they would have to cut the decorations if they ran out of time, so I had to pay an additional cost for a decor team so I could have all my decor.Virgo Event Planning's reply:
“Thank you for the feedback, Natashia. I’m sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your experience. Our goal is to deliver a stress-free seamless experience for our clients and we are always looking for ways to make our planning process more efficient. We hope to have the chance to serve you again.
