I hired Mari later in the planning process, and it was the best decision I made. From our first meeting, she seamlessly stepped in, organized the loose ends, and gave me the peace of mind to finally just enjoy being a bride.
What truly set Mari apart was her incredible ability to connect with and manage both of our families. As a fellow Dominican, she understood the nuances of my family's expectations and communicated with them effortlessly in Spanish. Simultaneously, she was fantastic with my husband's Black American family, ensuring everyone felt included, respected, and knew exactly where they needed to be. She was the ultimate bridge, making our blended celebration feel cohesive and joyful for all.
On the wedding day, Mari was my fierce advocate. She handled every unforeseen hiccup with grace and professionalism, "pivoting" so smoothly that no one ever knew there was an issue. She shielded us from stress, allowing us to be fully present in every moment. She wasn't just managing a timeline; she was protecting our peace and our joy.
Mari, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You are exceptionally good at what you do. Our day was flawless because of you, and we are forever grateful.
Mari has been a fantastic partner for my custom menswear business on projects in both New York and Washington, DC. Working alongside her, it’s easy to see why couples adore her — s...
he’s creative, polished, and genuinely steady under pressure.
What stands out most is how thoughtfully she advocates for her clients. She’s relationship-driven, deeply organized, and an exceptional communicator — which makes collaboration seamless and outcomes better. Her vendor network is also top-notch: not just talented, but kind and reliable people you actually want around on a wedding day. I’m looking forward to continued work together as she grows in New York, and I’d recommend her wholeheartedly for weddings and events.
Absolutely fantastic and very detail oriented. Very involved at the time of the wedding and very inquisitive. Thank you for making our day stress free! It was a big plus that she i...

ally good job with the rehearsal, which led to an absolutely perfect ceremony. And at the end of the night, all of the leftover food, our items, everything was packed and ready to go. I highly recommend!
We connected with Elle Events following the abrupt cancellation of our first coordinator. Marielys promptly responded and set up a video chat for us to communicate our vision, afte...
r which she created a detailed wedding file with all of our vendors, important dates, bridal party info, etc. Every step of the planning process, Marielys was there to answer questions, speak with vendors on our behalf, and put out fires we didn’t even know had started. She arrived to our venue before we did on wedding day, already hard at work setting everything up. We didn’t have to do more than shout, “hey, Mari” before a helpful pair of hands and smiling eyes came to the rescue. We cannot say enough good things about this planner, and we’d 1000% hire again if needed. Working with Elle Events is like entrusting your special occasion to your most trusted friend; it’ll go off without a hitch and leave you feeling carefree enough to enjoy your day instead of worried.
Mari was such an incredible wedding coordinator for me and my husband. From the very first video chat, we both knew that Mari would be the perfect person to hire as our coordinator...
. First off, she has such a warm personality that makes you feel comfortable. It is important to feel that you can express yourself freely when it comes to planning such a huge event and Mari definitely made us feel at ease whenever we had questions or concerns related to the wedding. When discussing our vision, Mari was very attentive to whatever we had to say and prioritized our needs/wants along with the needs/wants of our very close loved ones. Her communication and organization skills are spectacular. We cannot emphasize enough how please we and our families were with how she stayed on top of the vendors, venue, and timing. Even with small snags (which is totally normal, it's going to happen), Mari always had numerous "game plans" in her pocket that she would present to us and allow for us to make a decision. She made this whole process a whole lot less stressful for us and made us feel supported. Another notable quality of Mari is the fact that she is so respectful and attentive of other cultures and religions. Throughout our South Asian Muslim Wedding, she would ask questions and notate important aspects of this type of wedding for her understanding and to provide the best support for us.
For all you brides and grooms out there who are in need of support and guidance for their special day, please connect with Mari! We had a wonderful experience working with her and we are sure you will too!
