Marie is FANTASTIC! From the moment we met, my now husband and I knew she was the perfect fit for our special day. Her positive energy radiates throughout everything she does. She took the plan/vision we had to a level that was above and beyond what we imagined! She communicated well and was very organized in the months leading up to the wedding. She remained calm and professional throughout the day, all while making sure we were having the best time. We can't recommend Marie enough!
Marie is a DELIGHT to work with!! We hired her as our day-of coordinator after seeing how amazingly she took care of two of our close friend’s weddings, and she exceeded our expectations.
Marie goes above and beyond! She really cares about getting to know the couples she works with and takes the time to call and meet in person before the wedding, which was really appreciated. Not to mention she is one of the most organized people I’ve ever met. She was able to take our ideas for the ceremony and help make important decisions while creating our timeline. She also gathered all of our vendor’s information and became the main point of contact for them on our wedding day so that my husband and I didn’t need to worry.
On the day of the wedding, things went seamlessly in her care. If there were any issues, Marie handled them so efficiently that my husband I never even knew they happened. We had a large wedding party, and Marie’s organization and leadership helped keep everyone on track and where they needed to be. She is prepared for any situation that comes up, and even helped when we weren’t able to find the buttons to bustle my dress before the first dance.
I cannot emphasize enough how essential Marie was to our wedding day. We already miss working with her!!
I highly recommend Marie to be your day of coordinator! She was so friendly and helpful and the amount of detail she puts in to making sure your day goes as smoothly as possible is amazing. On our actual wedding day, we worked with a member of her team, Leila, who is also amazing and our day wouldn't have gone as well without her. Any bride would be lucky to work with this team! They will treat you like a bestie, but still get the job done!
In short, Marie is a blessing to work with. Stop your search here, you have found the best wedding coordinator.
My MIL knew I was having a hard time with wedding planning and wanted to decrease the stress that I was feeling. She found Marie and we set up a phone conversation. Within five minutes, I knew she was going to have my back no matter what. And oh boy was that true. She is so thoughtful and sweet and she will alway think for your best interests. She will make you feel like the guest of honor at your wedding rather the coordinator.
Also ask about her PhotoBooth!!
Marie was everything we could ask for! Her professionalism and level of detail was beyond excellent She got along with the entire bridal party, and it felt like she was our friend who we had known for years (major plus). Our wedding day was magical! And we truly thank Marie for being the one to run the day, ensuring everything was operating smoothly. Her emcee skill was another level of greatness, we had a lot of family members whose English is their second language and the way Marie annunciate each word was very clear, helpful for them to understand! She was extremely friendly, and made personal jokes. We got so many compliments of Marie! 10/5 would recommend!!
Where do I begin to express my gratitude towards Marie. We hired her to be our day of coordinator for our wedding in June. Marie was absolutely amazing! She made us feel like she was apart of the family and made my wedding day stress free. I knew I could always go to her with anything and she was always be there to help. On the day of she had problems handed before anyone even knew about them! She made sure we were able to enjoy our day and truly be in the moment. I would recommend her 100%, she is personable, sweet, but also will take care of any hiccups that come along.
Marie is the day of coordinator of your dreams! We first met her at a wedding convention and were immediately drawn to her booth and personality. She is so warm and friendly, and we had a gut feeling that she was the perfect person to help us plan our special day.
Marie was there for us every step of the way and very responsive. We never once felt hesitant with reaching out to her for questions because you can tell she genuinely cares, and she is so kind. She spent countless hours helping us plan every detail, from the big things to the small. She was also very supportive of our decisions and made sure that we were able to enjoy our wedding day without any stress.
One example of Marie's above-and-beyond service is when she helped us with our donut display. We had planned to have donuts at our wedding, but we didn't have a plan for the design set up or any displays for the donut stand. As we were setting up for the reception, Marie called her husband to deliver a donut stand for us! It was a huge lifesaver, and it's something that we would never have thought to ask for. They really didn’t have to do that, but they went above and beyond for us. A lot of the dessert designs, we did not have a plan for it, and in such a short amount of time given, Marie was able to display the desserts so beautifully.
She is also able to stay calm and focused under pressure. A lot of family members on my side are very particular and are perfectionists, and Marie handled them very well (Sorry Marie. lol)
We highly recommend Marie to anyone who is looking for a day of coordinator. She is truly amazing, and she will make sure that your wedding day is everything you've ever dreamed of.
I cannot begin to tell you all the ways Marie made my daughters wedding day perfect. A day of coordinator was not originally in the plan but as the time approached we realized there were a lot of moving parts to this special event and wanted friends and family to just enjoy and know it was in good hands. It was perfect. Thank you so much we will always recommend and consider you part of the family.
Marie helped my partner and I as we planned for our special day. She offered clear and honest advice and was very easy to communicate with. On the day of our wedding, Marie kept everything running smoothly and also was so kind to my partner and I as we moved through the evening. Our wedding was such a success because of Marie and all she did.
My husband and I hired Agape Events & Beyond after we thought we could handle our wedding plans ourselves. We very quickly learned we had no idea what we were working with. We interviewed a few different planners, and Marie stood out the most to us. Rightfully so, Marie did an amazing job at our wedding! Before the wedding she answered any questions I asked, which there were many asked even at odd times of the day or night. She helped us find amazing vendors to work with, and best prices for our budget. I walked into our wedding trying to make sure everything was how I wanted, but Marie had it handled and it was exactly what I wanted. Our day went so seamlessly, and I would do it all over again in a heart beat as long as I have Marie by my side.
5 stars is not enough, more like 99 and beyond stars. Marie is an awesome wedding coordinator! Nothing but genuine vibes and professionalism from her. She is always prepared for any hiccups on the wedding day and makes sure that everything on your wedding day will go smoothly and perfectly.
Marie takes the effort in getting to know the couple she will he working with.
How we met Marie? First a phone call to get to know each other, then we scheduled a coffee date with her, and then eventually invited her over to our home for some home made pho.
Here we are 1 month later after the wedding day and we still keep in touch with her.

✨️If you're a bride/groom reading this... THIS is your sign to book Marie with Agape Events & Beyond.
Marie handled our wedding with extreme poise and compassion. She made us feel extremely supported and cared for, and is extremely thoughtful. I would recommend Marie as a coordinator for any type of event!
I am the mother of the bride. I hired Marie over the phone for the day of coordinator. Something just felt right. This lady was a godsent! She took care of everything! Things I would have never thought of. She was so sweet and thoughtful all while taking charge of everything. We just loved her! Every detail was looked after, I had no worries. She stayed till very end. Her pricing was so reasonable. My daughter's wedding was perfect all because of her.
Marie was fabulous, she kindly took care of "problem" guests, she listened to the brides requests and made sure her wishes were honored no matter who tried to intervene and put their two cents in. She was absolutely incredible, I need more affirmative words to describe how great she is. Firm, kind, direct, punctual, listener, action packed on and on and on, but she did ALL of this without causing disorder or even being noticed, she floated around the room unnoticed looking for problems that needed to be solved PRIOR to becoming a problem.
Marie is amazing!!!! She was super helpful right from the minute I started talking to her. The planning meeting was smooth and she made us think about smaller details which we had missed. She suggested getting sunglasses for the guests since our ceremony was outside with sunset background and all the guests loved it. She was super helpful when there were problem with the photographer. She also thought about other details on the day of the wedding. She is absolutely the best! book her before she gets too busy! hands down I would recommend her!
I knew I made the right choice choosing Marie to be my day of coordinator. Not only did I needed to hire someone to help me on my big day, It was crucial for me to be able to vibe with this person, not only from a Bride’s perspective, but also as a friend. Marie was exactly that person and that’s what I needed. She was easy to work with from start to finish. My family and all my vendors loved her! We are so grateful she was played an important part of our big day!
Marie was great! Marie was on top of everything ,honestly I can’t imagine how our wedding would have turned out without her. Marie made sure our wedding stayed according to plan, and improvised when needed. She worked great with all of our other venders.
Marie is absolutely incredible! She made my day so easy and less stressful. Even with communicating with vendors before the wedding day about the timeline and any questions they had. Because of her, my day ran smooth. She is so kind, fun, and absolutely amazing. She made sure I was prepared, had everything I needed before, during, and after. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she wasn’t there.
Marie was so wonderful in helping us with our wedding ceremony at St. Stephen’s! She was very easy to work with and helped make the entire process fun. She was extremely timely and determined to do what needed to be done. She was thorough in explaining the ceremony process to us and covered every detail necessary for a good day. She was patient with our fairly large wedding party and everything turned out beautifully on our big day. Thank you, Marie!!
Marie was the best onsite and day of co-ordinator ever! She went so far above and beyond in making our day special. She was amazing with the children too and helped keep them entertained in addition to handling all the logistics and details and acting as emcee.
We can wholeheartedly recommend her for all your wedding needs!
