Leave it to Marnie

I found Lauri and Marnie through The Cooper House. I was planning my wedding from out of state. They were so helpful recommending vendors. They work with you to make sure your event is everything you want and more. I couldn't have been happier with them. They are wonderful to work with.

So so grateful I found these two ladies and hired them as our coordinators! Getting married in a newly moved to state was very stressful. My husband and I being from New York and only moving to SC a year prior to getting married, we knew nothing about who to hire, who to trust and these ladies were the best call we made. Not only were their personal services so helpful, they guided us to all the best that we needed as well; flowers, DJ, their own venue with catering, and more. Not to mention their amazing personalities, they don’t make you just feel like you’re hiring professionals but friends as well. I promise you will not be disappointed by working with this team!

Marnie and Lauri are the best EVER!!!! They went way above and beyond and did way more than was in the contract to make sure I had the best wedding day! So many tasks they tackled that wasn’t their job. They filled in for every one’s slack & with a smile on their face. When I say they are my hero’s & I couldn’t have done this with out them this is one million percent a true statement! They made me feel so special & loved & so well taken care of. My hair/ make up lady I’m oh too cute is her business name didn’t show on wedding day to do make up and hair Lauri brought make up from home and got to work, had me ready in time for when photographer came in to take pics! She had me all glammed up for my special day she will never understand how loved she made me feel & how much she made my wedding the best day ever but let me tell you she made my wedding the best day ever! I was upset that Ariel from im oh too cute didn’t show as promised but when I saw my make up that Lauri did she actually did a way better job than Ariel ever could. I one million percent recommend these ladies for your special day!! They will make you feel special on another level! They took such great care of me through out the past few months & on wedding day! Boy am I thankful for them! They are a blessing from above!!! Please hire them for your special day & recommend to every one else!!! Lauri also did my bridesmaids make up & she too said that made her feel extra loved & she appreciated it so much! Also guests came up to me & told me how friendly these ladies are& how they loved running into them!

Hire them! Marnie and Lauri are the best, I hired them as a full service wedding planners so they were dealing with me for over a year and understood what I wanted from the start. Then Hurricane Ian came and upended everything we worked on, but with grace they were able to move my wedding after the venue flooded in less than 24 hours. New Venue, all vendors notified, all I had to do was show up and get married at the new place. They turned my wedding nightmare into an absolute dream and my new husband and I could not be more thankful.

There are not enough words to express how good these ladies are! If you’re planning a wedding or event, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Kennedy-Doss. First and foremost, they’re so fun to be around and really help manage the stress of event planning with their can-do attitude. Lauri means business when it comes down to every detail, keeping vendors, guests, etc in check and ensuring your day moves smoothly. So professional and courteous…by the end of your event, they feel like family. 10/10 would recommend!

These two are fun and down to earth! They took all the stress and anxiety out of planning and coordinating and decorating! I did not have to worry about ANYTHING on the day of my wedding, because I knew they had my back and would handle whatever went awry. From the beginning to the end, they were there to assist every step of the way!

Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, now we have to throw covid into the mix and it makes the planning process more stressful. I had to make new plans as Covid had originally made our wedding plans not able to happen. Working with Laurie was the BEST decision I could have made. After even my first conversation with her I felt extremely confident that my wedding would be everything I imagined, even though we were unable to go with our original plan. Laurie made the planning process the easiest and funniest thing in the world. I never felt like I had to worry about anything. She was extremely attentive, upbeat, responsive and knowledgeable. Being new to the Myrtle Beach area I had no idea where to start to other venders. Laurie has years worth of connections including photography, music, makeup, hair, officiants, and desserts that made that process easy, and stress free. Any time I had questions or concerns, she was there to ease my mind and assure me things would work out. 4 days before my wedding my photographer ended up testing positive for Covid. When I heard the news my heart SANK! However, Laurie was the BEST person to have by my side because I did not have to worry about a single thing, even though I was worrying because I no longer had a photographer, she assured me she was on it and it would be fine. Within 4 hours she had someone else lined up and ready to go with 4 days notice!! After that moment I knew working with Laurie was the best decision. Fast forward to wedding day: Laurie made the wedding look absolutely amazing! With her and everything she did my wedding was more amazing than I could have ever imagined!

The Kennedy-Doss Event Management team will have you feel like there is nothing you cannot do or have! From the moment that I solicit their services to my event this past weekend, they were attentive to my needs. I live almost 1000 miles away yet their presence and communication helped me to feel like they were physically by my side. The resources and referrals were also valuable and lessened the things in which I had to figure out.This is the best way to publicly thank them for their hard work and dedication is to ask that you enlist Kennedy-Doss for your next memorable event.

Planning a wedding in general is a extremely stressful time in any couples lives, but planning a wedding in 6 months during a pandemic is more than stressful. After finding Marnie Kennedy and Lauri Doss, almost all of my stress disappeared. Marnie and Lauri did a great job during planning with keeping everything in order, getting in contact with vendors, keeping in contact, and being responsive. Even if that meant me texting or calling at all hours of the night and early mornings, to last minute changes and needing an officiant. When the day of the wedding came, I was able to enjoy my day with my bridal party and not worry while Marnie and Lauri made my wedding dreams come true. From decorations, to keeping everyone on a timeline, to running up a flight of stairs seconds before I was supposed to walk down the aisle to make sure I had my bouquet,to making sure I was having the best time possible. These two women made my day stress free and seamless. Every bride/groom should have a wedding day be like no other. For us that was because of our Marnie and Lauri duo. I would recommend anyone to Kennedy and Doss Event Management. Thank you ladies for being my wedding dream team!!!
