A Thorough Fare, LLC

went above and beyond-- it's seriously magic how detailed and organized this woman is. I am an extremely organized person-- as a physician-- and she out-organized me-- I didn't think it was possible! ha In all seriousness, she was the best investment we could have made and we will never forget all she did for us in making our celebration of love memorable for everyone!! She comes with experience and knowledge and THAT IS WHAT EVERY BRIDE NEEDS AND DESERVES! She is the reason the day was flawless! From our first meeting and initial planning, to each dress fitting, each tasting, and even checking in to make sure I was "alright" the week of. She is not only great at what she does, she is an awesome confidant and supporter. We are beyond happy that we chose her to work with and as it says in her work we had a very very THOROUGH [ly planned] FARE!!!!!

ghters' weddings.

easy! Our day could not have been as perfect as it was without her!

nestly say that there was no moment of stress during our big day, and that is because Marcie is prepared for everything! I can't imagine our wedding day without ATF on our side. Everything was absolute perfection. My only wish is that we could do it all again!

r Cent the hair DESIGNER was remarkable. She and Laura at Hotlocks did a beautiful job on a large number while staying calm as did Beauty by Bethany and we had fun with each of them. Shout out to Kay Roundtree the video person, she was superb. The Brown Hotel was AMAZING from beginning to end as was Julie Diamond who designed our invitations and more. Then there is the artist Wayne Esterle who created the incredible floral arrangements - I was amazed. We had fun during the whole process and thank each of you so very much! IF I have left anyone out, it is not intentional because everyone who played a role did an excellent job.

wn and do all of the planning sessions with Marcie, and it ran so smooth. She set everything up and had everything ready to go. Marcie also took care of all of the small details in a wedding that we didn't know needed to be done. She also has deals with many of the local vendors that help to mitigate the price of having a planner. The day itself went off without a hitch. We were both nervous about the wedding, but we didn't have any reason to be. Everything was wonderful and the day and night went as well as we could have hoped. Marcie brings a wealth of experience and is so nice to work with. Our wedding was a little unconventional, definitely not a typical Southern wedding, but she was very accommodating and made everything fit how we wanted it. I could not recommend Marcie highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding planned. Easily worth the price.

made, among many others that Marcie helped with along the way! Marcie is priceless. You will have no regrets booking Marcie!!!

could trust all of her suggestions because her taste is impeccable.

vendor meeting with me, which allowed me to have fun and enjoy the meetings, rather than stressing over details. Her vendor recommendations were always the best, thus helping to cut out time researching on my own. Not only was she an excellent wedding planner, she's a wonderful person and I have enjoyed staying connected. I highly recommend Marcie and A Thorough Fare.

execution of one of our most important family events, the wedding of our only daughter. Marcie's extensive vendor connections are top-notch professionals & they delivered on everything we wanted. Marcie kept us on schedule and on budget and recommended options that made our day truly unique and so very special for our family. My daughter & I were able to enjoy the wedding week and not worry about a single detail as Marcie had all under control. The day of the wedding went beautifully and at the end of the night I was filled with sheer delight as I had been able to partake in the festivities without worry and soak in every last detail of the affair. I thank her for the ease during the year-long planning process. I cannot say enough positive comments about Marcie and her services. I didn't know her before I made the initial call, however, after the hours spent with her over the year I now consider Marcie a special friend. Hiring Marcie was THE BEST decision we made!!! I recommend A Thorough Fare without hesitation. Cathy P.

etail arranged. I told her what I wanted, and she executed it. The week of my wedding and the wedding day were so relaxing for me. I knew everything would be perfect. So many wedding guests commented on how our wedding was one of their favorites. They loved the venue, flower arrangements, food, and band. I know Marcie is responsible for this. Marcie is so easy to get along with, and we connected right away. The wedding planning process can be stressful, but Marcie is able to eliminate all the stress. Best decision hands down!

e every step of the way! And that's all I had to do- make decisions about what my fiance and I wanted! I didn't plan anything! I was presented with options(already narrowed down to the best of the best) and I could choose! There is sooo incredibly much involved with planning a wedding that I simply could not have managed without her! Because I trusted Marcie, I trusted her recommendations and I was not disappointed! Marcie helped me with everything and gave me consistently good advice. Because I had Marcie by my side I ended up with a beautiful wedding and I got to enjoy the experience rather than be consumed by stress! Marcie is so sweet that planning with her was like having a family member by my side guiding me! I wholeheartedly recommend Marcie to anyone planning a wedding (or any other event)! Thank you Marcie! Courtney B. (bride)

ng her couples dream come true for their Big Day. Interaction after interaction with her, we can say without a doubt you can COUNT ON HER! We have had several very happy brides that can look back at their day and say having her coordinate the wedding was one of the best decisions. We hear it all the time!!! She has a wealth of knowledge in this wedding industry and let her be the person that pulls together your ideas by putting together an A+ team and creating a stress-free planning experience & day of! You will not be disappointed. Tera & Lauren, owners Couture Closet Bridal Boutique

t we have done without her, and know that the wedding of our dreams wouldn't have been possible without her and her team. Marcie made sure that all of the details were what we wanted, and within our budget. She brought our dream wedding to life and truly gave us the most memorable year of planning and the most incredible wedding weekend anyone could ever ask for. Marcie not only helped us plan our wedding, but also helped us with our rehearsal dinner and with arrangements for guests coming from out of town. She thought of every detail, and we never once felt like we were falling behind on our planning. Throughout our wedding weekend, Marcie worked hard to make sure that my husband and I were having fun and enjoying ourselves while she took care of odds and ends behind the scenes. Marcie is incredible at what she does, and is so charming and wonderful to be around...we are genuinely going to miss talking with her all the time and getting to see her lovely smile! We highly recommend her for wedding planning, and any event planning for that matter! She will make your dreams come true. Thank you Marcie for all that you did to make the most special occasion absolutely perfect.

bride and groom along with their families the freedom to thoroughly enjoy this event. As MOB, I can't thank Marcie enough. There was an added bonus. She became our friend along the way!

uestions about our wedding I hadn't even thought of. It was clear from the beginning she knew what she was doing, and knew the best people in Louisville to get everything done. That's what one of the best things about Marcie is. Where do you find a specific table, chair, flower or pattern? Marcie knows. And if she doesn't, she knows exactly who to ask. Need a rehearsal dinner recommendation? She knows the best options in town, and won't stop until you get exactly what you want. Plus - she shows up to every meeting with vendors, fully prepared. Her organizational skills are admirable! The weekend of the wedding - she continued to be incredible. She silently made sure everything was perfect. If there was a problem, I didn't know about it. Without a doubt, I can say Marcie Hancock and her team helped make our wedding fantastic. We couldn't have pulled it off without her!

of experience to know what's needed for wedding day coordination and to make sure the event goes off without a hitch. I'm a pretty organized person and even I forgot some things to think about, but they're on top of it! No matter how big or small your event is, there is no point to have one, unless you can sit back and enjoy it. A Thorough Fare knows this and they ensure you and your guests can relax and enjoy the day, and not worry about the details.

es what she does. Make sure to call Marcie for the wedding of your dreams :)

hole process so easy and gave us so many amazing vendor recommendations. We had a wonderful wedding, and the whole day was completely stress-free thanks to her (and Sarah)! Our guests had a blast and we still get compliments on the wedding months later. We could not recommend her highly enough!

on to the neighborhood garden; it is based on Native American spirituality. We then went to Peterson-Dumensil House (historic) in an adjacent neighborhood for dinner and dancing. We were blessed with the moment to moment, day to day assistance of guidance of ATF. Add to that, the price was absolutely "right." Marcie Hancock was a steadying force all along the way. Since we were given so much help in so many ways, I will list them for clarity. She guided us to a perfect person for invitations - personable, knowledgeable, kind, and prompt. She brought to us a perfect DJ - low-key, accommodating, easy to talk with, dependable, creative, well-prepared. She assisted with purchases - cake, beverages. She helped us find a perfect florist - within budget, cooperative, friendly, beautiful arrangements, and great suggestions. We chose the venue and that venue required the services of a certain caterer. Marcie worked with us beautifully and faithfully to make a great event happen via the venue and the caterer. Her support and communication with everyone were without delay and were more than we probably know behind the scenes. The venue was beautiful and the food outstanding. We continue to hear compliments on the food! Over all, this company and Marcie in particular rate more than 5 stars. We value communication greatly, and Marcie responded to our emails very promptly. She answered questions presented in any way easily, with skill and respectful attention to our desires and concerns. On "The Day," Marcie was a calming force working her magic practically without being seen. Having said that, she was somehow always available when needed. She directed everything with a delicate touch and great attention to detail. Everything went smoothly and that left us to enjoy a very meaningful and joyous event in our lives. Finally, we feel like we have made a friend - one who knows, respects, celebrates, and appreciates us.

ly able to enjoy being engaged as we didn't have an ounce of stress!!! Marcie is amazing at what she does. Everything from the photographer, venue, food, decor, and entertainment- she gets you hooked up with all the best people! She is extremely organized and detail oriented, she really doesn't skip a beat! I felt like I was her only client, she is at every appointment and you are her main priority! Marcie is a class act, all of the vendors know and respect her! If you want the perfect, stress free wedding that goes off without a hitch hire Marcie!! She IS Louisvilles BEST planner without a doubt!!!

found all the decor we wanted even though some of it wasn't so common. We got married on a farm in the barn and had our reception in a tent in the field so she was very helpful in figuring out the many logistics that are necessary for that...things I never would have thought of.

er. All the vendors know and respect her, and she knows her stuff. Detail, detail, every DETAIL is covered! You'll be amazed and pleased to watch her cover things that you or the average planner may not even think to consider. I had several "ah-ha!" moments and they made huge differences in the quality and enjoyment of the day. While she ALWAYS consulted me first, I trusted her experience and afforded her complete guidance on every decision. This was the right choice for me, I've got a very busy lifestyle. But make no mistake - she's all about her bride and groom have as much involvement in the planning as they desire. A note on budgets, she is a wizard at making your wedding fit your plan. You will feel like your finances are lovingly cared for and with her expertise, you'll be pleasantly surprised how much more value you get for your dollar. Last, but definitely not least in my book, Marcie is a thoughtful, delightful and fun person to work with and be around. You'll be made to feel as if you are her only client, and that you are partnering together to make for a wonderful occasion. I promise, your day will be grand and you'll be all smiles!

hearsal made everyone feel relaxed and ready for the big day! Knowing Sarah was orchestrating the wedding day, letting people know where they had to be and when, facilitating all the set-up and tear-down, and making sure the details were just right, gave my daughter the wedding of her dreams. I would highly recommend ATF to anyone! Thank you Marcie and Sarah!--Pam Hall, Mother of Bride

couple months to plan, I still felt lost. I did my research before meeting her but then hired her as soon as we met. It was an instant YES! She's professional and fun. We love every vendor she recommended. Sarah was there on the day of the wedding and handled everything and all we had to do is get dressed, walk down the aisle and party at the reception. She catered to us and made us feel special. Look no more, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

hter (one and only) married on 6-13-2015 and we wanted her to have the fairytale wedding of her dreams (within budget if possible). As the MOB, it was equally important to me to have the planning process be stress free and enjoyable. Once our daughter was engaged, we were very excited but I immediately became concerned about how I could pull this off being an hour away and with a very time consuming job (school superintendent). My husband and I had one objective, to provide our daughter and new son-in-law with a wedding weekend that fulfilled their dreams but as parents we wanted to enjoy the experience without the added stress and worry. My girlfriends highly recommended Marcie Hancock and the rest is history. I decided that day, that hiring Marcie was not what I considered a wedding cost; she was what I considered a gift to our daughter. In the end, I would say that Marcie was a gift to me (and to my husband – living with a stress-free MOB). I am a very organized person that likes detail and I work with lots of people and vendors that are good at what they do. But then, there are those that stand out because they exceed the goal because of their extraordinary personal touch. These people go over and above by doing what I call “and then some”. Marcie is that kind of person. She’s not in the category of good, she’s in the category of GREAT. She took the vision our daughter described and introduced us to the right team to bring that vision to life. Every aspect of the day was breathtaking. One example of her “over the top” service… my husband wanted to hand out cigars at the reception. We asked Marcie if she could get us 50 cigars. On the day of the wedding, she had arranged to have 50 bourbon rolled cigars (with her discount) at the reception. However, the best part is she had a special wooded cigar box made for the cigars as a wedding keepsake. The wooden box had the wedding date and the #hashtag name the bride and groom used on their save the dates and website. That is what I call “the WOW factor”. When I measure effectiveness, I refer back to the original goal. We were able to provide our daughter the fairytale wedding of her dreams, capitalize on the discounts of the top vendors through our wedding coordinator and best of all…we literally were able to arrive and leave with our guests (no stress and no worries). We have enjoyed every single aspect of this experience beginning with the day we hired Marcie Hancock. Thank you Marcie!!!!! YOU were the best gift of all. With gratitude, MOB – Nannette Johnston

and I was left with no worries... until 10 minutes before walking down the aisle and realizing all EYES on me!! ahh! We had family and friends come in from all around the world and everyone was there pre and post wedding, which left us totally preoccupied. However, we did not need to worry about last minute details, Marcie had everything under control, and thus we were able to enjoy our family and friends. She respected all of my ideas, while at the same time helping me to focus my thoughts so as to have a well organized vision. I felt secure in her professional advice as it is apparent that Marcie has a wealth of experience. You won't be disappointed! Thank you so much Marcie for your time and dedication to allow myself, Carlos, and family to enjoy one another in our celebration of love!

er was hesitant to have a wedding planner because the title can be a misnomer (she thought wedding planner meant THEY planned your wedding and she wouldn't have input). She quickly came to see Marcie as a listener who executed the plan my daughter had envisioned. We could not have been happier with both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding and reception. She was with us every step of the way. She was born to do this job and she loves it. A professional from the word go.

while both of us were in school. From invitations to the rehearsal dinner nothing was left untouched and no detail missed. Marcie even flew out to a remote area, Telluride, CO, to plan our wedding for us. By the time she left town, all the vendors knew Marcie by name. Her attention to detail was evident not only by us, but also by our guests. Our guests continued to be shocked and awed by how well everything was planned without a "glitch." We are still in close contact today with Marcie as she has become part of our family. Someone who you can trust and rely on 100%. I couldn't think of anyone else I would let take the reigns of my wedding. It should also be noted for anyone considering a wedding planner her fee is very reasonable for the amount of work she puts in and the amount of stress you don't have to worry about. Don't second guess yourself, let Marcie work her magic :) WE COULDN'T BE MORE HAPPIER WITH OUR DECISION. Truly grateful and blessed couple, B and T

lso an incredible person. She led my parents and I through the process of planning a wedding seamlessly and listened to all of our concerns and desires for the big day. My husband and I were married on June 7th, 2014 and Marcie assembled a team of vendors who were exceptional people and were incredible talented at their respective crafts. Even as I write this review 6 weeks later, my husband and I still look at each other and say, "WOW, our wedding was amazing..." and we could not have done it without Marcie! She gave us ideas that made our wedding so unique and personal, she wasn't just "going through the motions" like many planners do. She is warm, well-organized and if you hire Marcie, I promise you will NOT be disappointed! Marcie was not only the perfect planner, but I am so glad she became a friend in the process!

y going to do our residency in Kentucky (actually matched in Columbus, OH). We decided to get married in Louisville (my husband's home town). Since we were 3.5 hours away with VERY busy jobs and my family lives 2.5 hours away in Eastern KY, we knew we needed to get a wedding planner. I AM SO GLAD WE DID! Marcie was perfect. We met with her shortly before we started our residency and hammered out all of our big vendors in just two days. She gave us great suggestions on all of the vendors, giving us 2-3 great companies for each category that she had experience with within our budget to choose from. It was perfect for a busy couple - I still got to make a lot of decisions, but the options were narrow enough that it didn't become overwhelming. All of the vendors Marcie recommended for us were top notch. Every time we came home to Kentucky, Marcie was able to meet with us, and she came to ALL of our meetings with vendors. She even came to my hair/make-up trials and final dress fitting! She kept track of our budget and let us know when what money was due. Even though I had thought about the planning of our wedding for about a year, when the day came I couldn't believe how perfect everything turned out. Marcie thinks of EVERYTHING, right down to the last detail. She listened to everything I had in mind for the wedding and helped make it ALL happen. She also suggested some great touches that really helped make our wedding both personal and perfect. We would never have been able to pull off such an amazing day without Marcie's help. For anyone getting married in the Louisville, KY area, I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Marcie and A Thorough Fair, LLC. Even if you don't think you need a wedding planner, trust me, you do. And Marcie does an EXCELLENT job.

the planning, but Marcie was the real mastermind behind so many of our special details. She really got to know us, and helped us plan our perfect day. I HIGHLY recommend her and her A+ team.

ad a lot of great tips! For example, to prevent from getting too hot in my wedding dress, she recommended talcum powder! I had no idea and so good to know! Marcie was at every event or meeting possible before our big day to make sure she knew every detail - and if something wasn't right, she'd fix it quickly! Marcie was a huge help and I don't know that we would have made it through the last month before without her with everything going on!! Thanks Marcie!!!

vents and schedules. We already had the venues and a few of the vendor’s chosen before we initially contacted Marcie. Our special day was especially special as my wife lost her father 11 months ago and my Mother In Law initially wanted to hire a wedding planner to help with the day of as we knew it would be a emotionally difficult day. After consulting with Marcie, she advised that it would be in our best interest to hire her for the month before instead of just the day of due to meeting with vendors, understanding the bride and groom, etc. Even though we only hired her for the month before the wedding, she went out of her way to meet with us many times and set up the meetings with the vendors. She attended every meeting with us to ensure everyone was on the same page. Marcie thought of all the little details that we didn’t even think about and presented them in a way that would benefit us to make our day everything we wanted. Instead of saying “you need this” she presented the vendors and ideas to us as “If you do this, it will look like this.” She came prepared with a bride emergency kit and when my wife accidentally spilled steak sauce on her dress, Marcie was right there to help her get the stain out. To complete our fairy tale wedding, she suggested that we use a horse drawn carriage and sparklers as our exit. I never dreamed that I would have a horse drawn carriage take us away from our wedding and our exit could not have been any better. This wouldn’t have happened without Marcie. Her 30+ years of planning and her constant thinking of the little details and presentation showed through. She took us to the right vendors and due to all the planning and her organization, made our day the fairy tale my wife and I had always dreamed of.

re wrong. Our daughter wanted an outdoor wedding, cocktail hour and reception. While I am sure any wedding requires lots of planning an outdoor affair requires more. (Tents, dance floor, RAIN PLANS.) Marcie saved me money, stress and her being there allowed us to enjoy the planning and the day of the wedding. She couldn't have been easier to work with. Even though my wife has worked with other MOB's on weddings my daughter had not. Marcie made sure nothing was missed during the planning by suggesting vendors when we didn't have one we knew we wanted to use and organizing the meetings, etc. Her depth of knowledge and experience with the vendors was vast and she either answered our questions outright or got us answers timely. She kept the FOB apprised of the estimates and on schedule with the deposits and payments. She was accessible, friendly and helpful. The whole family enjoyed the planning process with her. The day of the wedding she was the calm during the storm ...... literally. You recall I said this was to be outdoors? It had not rained in 4 weeks only to begin raining at 5:00 PM with the wedding at 6:00. We eventually got 2.5" of rain by midnight that day. Marcie looked like a drowned rat after stocking our vehicle with all the gifts (Yes, she thought of that too.) Marcie told me "just make friends with the weather and go enjoy yourself." The result although damp was just what my daughter, wife and the FOB hoped for; It was beautiful and everyone had a good time, all 240 of us. I would recommend; no, I would advise any bride or FOB to enlist the services of Marcie Hancock and A Thorough Fare for planning "The Big Day". You will enjoy it more and you won't be sorry.

st daughter to get married and I cannot imagine going through the process without Marcie. Marcie's personality offers the perfect combination for her job; confident, take charge attitude without being bossy or pushy, organized, prompt, extremely knowledgeable of all vendors, and most importantly her attention to detail and the fact that she truly loves what she does! We had a flawless wedding for our daughter and son in law. We were all so very thrilled with the big day, everything was absolutely perfect!....thanks to Marcie. I can't tell you how many people at the wedding asked who helped us because it was the most relaxed & calm group they had ever seen at a wedding. Starting with the bride, mother & father of bride, groom and his parents, and our entire wedding party, Marcie gave us that assurance that everything was being taken care! It was a wonderful feeling and we all were able to enjoy every second of the wedding. We have had a million compliments on the event and most importantly it turned out exactly how we all envisioned. I would highly recommend Marcie to handle all aspects of a wedding, our event was approx 200 guests, dinner, band, rehearsal dinner, and ALL the pieces that come along with the day. Cheers to Marcie, I know whenever our second daughter gets married, my first call will be to Marcie! Sincerely, Katie & Chuck Pence

y longer!! The flowers made the space look magical. If you are looking for a fantastic space for rehearsal dinner you could not find anything better than Four Roses loft. The chef prepared a superb meal. Melissa was wonderful to work with and had decorated the venue perfectly. We did a s'mores bar for dessert and she took care of the entire set up including having something built special for it. What a great team we had!!!

e big day finally arrived that I truly could not have imagined how absolutely wonderful everything would be. My daughters wedding exceeded both of our expectations. Correction: It FAR exceeded our expectations. We love Marcie so much, I hired her to plan my sons wedding later this year. I truly can not find the words to say how highly I recommend her.

stics, thought of things that never would have occurred to me, and is as nice as they come. I would recommend her to anyone!!!

bout the nightmares of what happened at their weddings. It was so nice to be able to spend my wedding day without a care in the world. She helped me find the perfect vendors when I knew what I wanted and offered support when I wasn't so clear. Although every bride probably says that same about their wedding...I thought it was the best and most fun wedding and didn't have any of the stress that I had heard from all my other bride friends. If I could go back and do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing...especially the decision to hire Marcie :)

nd if you want it - she knows who to contact. She has a wonderful talent and can take your vision and turn it into a reality! Aside from getting married, hiring Marcie was the best decision we made during our wedding journey!!

thoroughness and attention to detail made us always feel like ours was the only wedding she was planning even though her calendar was full of events. She has close relationships with all of the best vendors and always knows where to get the best version of anything from the best person around. Everyone that works with her absolutely adores her, which speaks volumes and ensures excellent service. Her knowledge, vision and negotiation skills allowed us to have every detail we imagined (and more!) for our big day. Her resourcefulness and creativity made such a difference in the event creation; from our canoe beer cooler to our monogrammed bourbon-barrel-top that served as our guest book and everything in between – she made every detail special and perfect. She planned everything while keeping my budget in check (which was relatively small, especially considering the amount of people that attended) and made it all work spectacularly. Marcie planned with me and my mother every step of the way for over a year and never lost enthusiasm or patience (and there were plenty of times we required lots of patience). Marcie came to every single vendor meeting with me, often arriving early and staying late to figure out the details. She even traveled to a different state with me, my mother and sister to find my dream dress AND negotiated the price down to fit my budget. Potentially major issues arose on our big day (which consisted of an outside reception for 300 and an enormous tent), but we didn't know about a single one until long afterwards because Marcie handles anything and everything seamlessly. As a result, we were able to completely relax and enjoy our entire wedding weekend! In short, I am extremely grateful to have found Marcie and A Thorough Fare through a friend's recommendation. She is not only the greatest event planner ever, but now also a dear friend.

king on. And not only that, but she also made us feel like she truly cared about making our day as wonderful and beautiful as we imagined it to be. Marcie knows the best vendors in town. And they love her (of course), which means that you can expect the best services and the best products from them. She is also great about giving you different options to fit your budget. I can't say enough great things about Marcie. She is wonderful and I'd recommend her to anybody!

ld use my family and friends back home to help. Well I quickly discovered that using family and friends was not going to work because of the type of wedding that I wanted to have. I started interviewing wedding planners and Marcie Hancock wasn't on my original list of planners to talk to. I thought I had someone but she had to pull out right before signing the contract. Marcie was referred to me by my videographer. When Marice and I met, we instantly connected and I knew that I wanted her to plan the most important day of my life. Marcie was very organized and thorough. With me living 6 hours away from Louisville and my work schedule being very busy which prevented me from traveling home much and talking to Marcie on a regular basis, when I did go home to meet with Marcie, she had a full day planned with all the vendors that I needed to secure. All of the vendors that Marcie recommended I went with and the final products were Awesome. Some of the small details that I had forgotten about Marcie took care of them. The Day of my Wedding Marcie was the best! She made sure everything went smoothly and my guest had an awesome time. My wedding was on 9-10-11 and my family and friends are still talking about how amazing it was and that was due to the outstanding job that Marcie and her team did. If you are looking for a planner that cares about her clients and will go over and beyond to ensure your day is just like you describe to her than ATF is the company to hire.

e went above and beyond in every way. She was at all venues before we were and long after, making sure everything went well, and she fixed all problems (without us even knowing about them at the time)! She does all the things you don't even know need doing!! She has a "can do" attitude and will make things happen!! Marcie is very professional and because of her, I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding and reception!! I recommend her whole-heartedly in every way. Do you want a wedding that is done professionally and made special in every way? Do you want to relax and have fun instead of worrying about details? Do you want to trust someone who knows all venues, vendors, and how to get things done? Do you want someone who handles every detail and leaves nothing undone? Then, you really do want this incredible planner, Marcie Hancock.

200 person lavish yet deceptively simple affair - and Marcie graciously agreed to take us on. She was unbelievable!!! By the time we contacted her, we had lined up a bunch of the vendors/details in desperation. Immediately she asked us 1000 details and got the ball rolling on putting everything together. In addition to making sure the obvious details were in place, she had strong thoughts on other things we had thought were OK (such as bathroom situation for our guests, and electricity for our tent, getting hair and makeup done, and schedule). Let me tell you - without her - our wedding would have been a disorganized disaster! She had fabulous ideas, allowed us to still to a DIY and she was just so so so wonderful to work with. Marcie went far beyond what we would have ever expected her to do in terms of working with our site and vendors. I had zero stress the weekend of the wedding - and same for my mother - as we knew Marcie was there taking care of everything. We actually got to enjoy everything and not worry about when things were being delivered or how they would be set up. Honestly, Marcie earned every single penny and then some - we should have paid her twice as much!! For anyone who thinks you don't need a coordinator, I would very much argue otherwise. And this is after we had been burned from a much more expensive investment in someone else originally who then had backed out of the contract and had done nowhere near as much work. Marcie tailored everything to what we would want- even though some parts of our wedding were a bit out of the box. She was instrumental in making our wedding a classy, elegant, simple-appearing affair, where everyone could just relax and have fun (while behind the scenes, there was really nothing simple about our venue and lavish yet simple relaxed cocktail hour and reception). I had an ultra-relaxed morning of the wedding, while she was dealing with setting the tables, and organizing the vendors, and directing people behind the scenes. When she could she referred us to vendors she knew - and saved us bunches of money as well as brought out top of the line vendors. And she was wonderful at working with sites and vendors we had already lined up who she had never worked with before. I really can't say enough wonderful things about her - classy, funny, sweet, work-a-holic for you, organized, impeccable taste, flexible, and just all in all an utter delight!!

Magical in every way. Thanks to Marcie. She thought of everything. She's easy to work with, listens to your vision and makes it happen. Very professional. I would highly recommend Marcie, without hesitation to anyone.
