Exclusive Personal Events

Mary from Exclusive Personal Events was everything—and more—that we could have asked for in a wedding coordinator! My fiancé and I got engaged in October 2024, and we found Mary just a few weeks later. From our very first call, we knew our wedding planning was off to a great start. She clearly explained the process and her role, and even though we had more than a year before saying “I do,” she was always available to guide us and answer every question we had. During the months leading up to our wedding, Mary helped coordinate timelines and vendor meetings, guided me through décor decisions, and recommended incredible vendors who helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and so much more. She is exceptionally organized, prepared, and attentive to detail. Whether we had questions about the timeline, upcoming vendor meetings, or how to bring our ideas together, she always had an answer and offered thoughtful recommendations that aligned perfectly with our vision. We truly feel blessed to have worked with Mary. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true! She went above and beyond by setting up our décor, ensuring every detail was displayed exactly as we envisioned, keeping my husband and me calm and at ease, and even making sure I stayed hydrated throughout the day. Her entire team was on point—kind, patient, professional, and incredibly organized. Mary was absolutely amazing, and we will always remember our special day with so much gratitude for all her hard work, care, and support throughout the planning process. I highly recommend Mary and Exclusive Personal Events to anyone getting married. If you want your special day to go off without a hitch—no matter how big or small your vision may be—Mary is your lady!

The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding When we booked our venue, one of the requirements was hiring a month-of/day-of wedding coordinator. I'll be honest I remember thinking, "I don't really need one. I'm organized and can handle everything myself." Looking back now... I couldn't have been more wrong. Hiring Mari was, without question, one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. I was referred to Mari by our caterer, Brian with Dade County Food Group, and from our very first phone conversation, I knew she was someone special. Her energy, kindness, professionalism, and genuine excitement immediately put me at ease. We clicked instantly, and from that moment on, I knew I was in good hands. Although I hired Mari as our month-of/day-of coordinator, she became so much more than that. She was a planner, organizer, problem solver, sounding board, therapist, cheerleader, and ultimately someone who became such an important part of one of the biggest days of our lives. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Mari spent countless hours helping us. We had numerous phone calls and meetings, coordinated conference calls with our vendors, created incredibly detailed timelines, and kept every detail organized through her planning portal. Every vendor had its own section, every detail had a place, and nothing was ever overlooked. She also helped connect us with amazing vendors, including our videographer, assisted with rentals for our welcome party, and gave us so many wonderful ideas. Even when I was dealing with stressful family situations, Mari was there to offer advice, reassurance, and support far beyond what anyone would ever expect from a wedding coordinator. A few days before our wedding in the Florida Keys, Mari met us at the venue for a detailed walkthrough and graciously accommodated holding our rehearsal two days before the wedding instead of the evening before. That allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our welcome party with family and friends. Then came the wedding day. Everything was absolutely seamless. I'm sure little challenges came up throughout the day, but if they did, I never knew about them because Mari handled every detail before it ever reached us. Even with the wind trying to interfere, she worked her magic to make sure everything looked beautiful and stayed on schedule. Watching her work was incredible. She was constantly communicating with vendors, checking timelines, and making sure everything was exactly as it should be. The greatest gift Mari gave us was peace of mind. Because of her, Joey and I were able to be fully present and enjoy every single moment of our wedding day instead of worrying about logistics. That is truly priceless. Beyond everything she accomplished professionally, Mari is simply one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every interaction. After the wedding, I didn't miss wedding planning at ALL but I genuinely missed talking to Mari. That's how much of an impact she had on me. If you're considering hiring Mari for your wedding or any special event, don't hesitate for a second. She is worth every penny and then some. I truly believe our wedding would not have been the incredible, seamless, joyful day that it was without her. Mari, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will forever be grateful for everything you did for us. Kimmy & Joey G.
