Hilary Marie Events + Design

If you are engaged and looking for the perfect wedding planner, you MUST hire Hilary! She is a talented designer who really listens and seeks to understand your vision, and provides you with a top-notch network of vendors to bring it to life. Hilary is responsive, organized, reliable, and will guide you through every decision (of which there are many!). She remained super positive and stuck with us through two COVID postponements. I can't stop thinking about our day and how smoothly and perfect everything was. She really blew my expectations out of the water! Hilary is also just a wonderful person and you'll really enjoy working with her.

Hilary is a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better person to navigate this entire process and plan the wedding that we envisioned for so long! She is organized, thorough, patient and very talented. She was always available to us during the planning process and took care of every single detail during our wedding day. The vendors that she works with are all very high quality and all exceeded our very high expectations. If you are looking for excellent service, attention to detail and high quality vendors then you would be lucky to work with her!

Our wedding day left me speechless and I am still struggling to come up with the right words to describe how perfect it was. I keep coming back to dream come true because it is exactly how I imagined it would be. This was all thanks to Hilary! She has an amazing group of vendors in her circle. They are all kind, incredibly detail oriented and its obvious that they love what they do. Every one of the vendors she recommended went above and beyond and that made our day so much more special. Without Hilary, I don't know how we would have planned and pulled off such a magical event. We live on the east coast, so planning a destination wedding across the country seemed a little daunting at first, but I knew we were in good hands from the first time I spoke to Hilary on the phone. I typically do a ton of research before I make decisions. What I loved from the beginning about Hilary was that she only does a handful of weddings a year which is rare of most wedding planners. I knew we would receive so much attention from her and would not get lost in a crowd of other couples! I was right. Hilary was extremely organized and passionate about making everything perfect and about helping my vision come to life. She planned and executed our dream wedding day. We could not have asked for more and we now have a lifelong friend and unforgettable memories. Thank you Hilary for being so good at your job!!!

I have THE KNOT to thank for Hilary!! It's taken me a little while to write this review because it means that I have to admit my wedding is officially over and that I really don't have an excuse to text Hilary every day anymore. Like Hilary says, post-wedding depression is real, especially when you had a wedding as beautiful and happy as ours. I don't even know where to begin because Hilary is absolutely amazing in so many ways. I want to preface this whole thing by saying that I am a very particular person and am VERY careful about who I choose to hire. I am also the kind of person who doesn't spend superfluously, so what I do choose to spend my money on better be damn well worth it. Two years ago when we started this whole process, I wasn't really sure what I was doing or who I should go with to plan our wedding. Then came Hilary. I found her on this site and loved the brightness and simple beauty of her designs. I had a good feeling, so I decided to schedule a call with her and from the moment we first got on the phone, I felt like I was hiring someone who could both plan our wedding and be my friend (which, as it turns out, is actually pretty important when planning one of the biggest days of your life). Hilary has been with us every step of the way. Even my husband, who initially thought it was ridiculous to hire a wedding planner, has made a complete 180. I cannot stress enough how supportive she has been and how much we have relied on her industry expertise. I pride myself on being pretty savvy and having a pretty keen eye for design, and I can unequivocally say we could not have pulled off this wedding without her. There are so many big (and little things) that go into a wedding and she planned, designed, and EXECUTED flawlessly. It's a month later and our guests and my mom (lol) are still singing her praises. Many of our guests said that our wedding was the smoothest and most beautiful wedding they've ever been to, which is a tall order when you consider that I've had a dozen cousins get married before me. I still cannot believe the vision that she brought to life. It was everything we wanted and so much more. You need to hire Hilary. You won't regret it. She works with an incredible team of vendors and she'll help you plan the wedding of your dreams. Bonus is that you'll also gain a great friend along the way - she even got drinks with us on our honeymoon in Italy! And no, it's not included in her services. We just love her that much and she happened to be vacationing there at the same time. :)
