A dream come true

Marylee and her team are the real deal. It was clear from the very first conversation that they knew exactly the vision we were hoping to achieve and they did everything to not only meet that vision, but exceed it. While we didn’t contact her at the very beginning of our planning endeavors, she took all of the tasks, question marks, and complications off of our plate. We felt so heard and seen the entire time, even outside of wedding related topics. Marylee was compassionate and so kind when I was going through personal things, and it meant the absolute world to me.

Her response time was so prompt, even amongst the busiest point in wedding season. She made sure to address every last detail thoroughly during our meetings and recaps. It was my first time being a bride and I can’t imagine it having gone any more smoothly. I can’t tell you how amazing it was to have a planning team that not only delivered a wedding of our dreams, but also advocated for us every step of the way. And as many couples in the planning process learn quickly, the costs add up. Marylee made a point of giving us tips and tricks to save in ways; this was so helpful…like seriously. I could tell that other planners I had talked to prior to booking with Marylee wouldn’t have extended the same grace, which was another reason we knew Marylee was it. Her services are very affordable.

When it came to our wedding day, her whole team was absolutely phenomenal. A few hours before the ceremony began, I got hit with nerves and a mental breakdown that I’m sure made me hard to work with. They helped me to settle these nerves, to breathe and I knew that they would have everything under control (and they did). Wanted to also recognize Katie and Chloe from her team. They were incredible as well; super professional and a dream to work with.

Lastly, wanted to mention that you should ABSOLUTELY use Marylee for florals. She went above and beyond and made the flowers absolutely breathtaking. I don’t think I appreciated how fabulous they can be until our big day. She absolutely nailed the vision from the inspiration I had shared.

Needless to say, Marylee and her team is the epitome of top notch wedding planning. I wish I could hire her to assist me with everything in life (hah). A dream come true and truly cannot recommend her more!

Mother of the groom

We had a very specific vision of what the rehearsal dinner would look like and Marylee hit it 100%. Her suggestions on other vendors and responsiveness to our questions, concerns and ideas were thoughtful and so helpful. Marylee’s presence and direction when the day arrived were reassuring and gave us a real sense of confidence that everything would go perfectly which it did!

Absolutely loved everything!

Marylee did the florals for our October wedding and absolutely killed it! Throughout the whole process she was so incredibly helpful. She offered her guidance and expertise when we needed help deciding what florals and greenery fit our vision as well as the weather and other outside factors. She was willing to work with our budget and we were able to make our florals to their fullest extent. We cannot recommend Marylee enough!
