Leslie Marie Events

Working with Leslie & team was easily the BEST decision we made for our wedding. There are not even enough words to discuss how her team not only activated every element of the agreement, but also went above and beyond. The attention to detail that the team has is extremely impressive. From our first meeting, all the right questions were asked so that nothing was left uncovered. We felt from that first day, that Leslie had a solid understanding of our vision. The team really eliminates having to stress over the back and forth with vendors, contracts, deadlines, etc., so that you can just focus on mentally preparing for the day ahead yourself. What was also great was that throughout her conversations with all vendors, she paid such close attention to things and made sure they also knew our vision as well so there were so many details that we noticed on our wedding day that added to the overall experience and ambiance that never even crossed our minds, but it crossed Leslie's! All of our vendors thoroughly enjoyed working with Leslie thanks to her professionalism, and expert knowledge – everything was always handled very quickly. You also feel like you are their only client due to the level of attention you receive (that's invaluable). What my Husband and I were even more elated over though was the execution for everything from the moment the rehearsal began the day prior, to the day of. The team was always ten steps ahead of the program, and ensured the timeline of events ran on time, without the Bride and Groom ever really being involved, other than enjoying our big day. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Leslie and team, and would recommend them a MILLION times over. They pulled off the wedding of our dreams, and really brought our vision to life. And don’t even get us started on how much the guests raved that this was an epic and beautifully planned wedding – thanks to you know who! There were even elements at the wedding (and even in our honeymoon suite the night of) that we never requested but Leslie was thinking of how to add her ‘special touch’ and she did so! Some of those touches honestly brought us to tears because of the thoughtfulness. My husband and I have already joked about how soon we can have an anniversary party because we would be that excited to plan another event with Leslie. I promise you, entrusting them with your big day is the BEST DECISION you can make about your wedding! We are eternally grateful for this team!!!

Leslie is the absolute BEST. We got engaged in February & wanted to get married the following June. We hadn't done a single thing by mid-March & then we luckily found Leslie & her team. We had come across different wedding coordinators in the area, but she offered by far the best valued package for the cost. On top of that, I had heard great reviews. We knew the venue that we really wanted the wedding to be at, but I had tried for weeks to get a hold of them with no luck. After my first phone call with Leslie, she called back within 15 minutes & said we had the venue reserved for the date we wanted! Considering the wedding was less than 3 months away in Southern California where everything is booked way ahead of time, this was incredible. Needless to say, we officially hired her on the spot. From there, she literally did EVERYTHING for us. The venue was in a warehouse downtown & basically a blank slate. We shared some decorating & setup ideas with her, but then just let her & her team do their thing, & it turned it so much better than we ever could've imagined! She handled the catering, the hotel reservations, the transportation/parking, the music, the bar, entertainment, dessert, slideshows, helped find all of our vendors, did all the coordinating with all of our vendors- when I say she did everything, she really did EVERYTHING. & she made herself available 24/7, always emailing or calling us back right away. We joked that this was an Amazon Prime wedding because by the time we really got going on the details the wedding was in less than 2 months & she got it all done & it turned out amazing. We could not have done it without her. & she made the whole experience (that could've easily been so stressful because of the short timeline) so much fun. She is so easy to work with & very down to earth. After the wedding, we realized how much we were going to miss talking to her everyday & joked that maybe we would just hire her to be our life coach haha! All that to say, she is the best at what she does & made the entire experience so memorable. We had the best wedding day because of all the hard work she put in. If you are looking for someone who will go above & beyond for you, Leslie is your person. Cannot recommend enough!

We are so glad we trusted Leslie Marie Events with ensuring we enjoyed planning and celebrating our wedding day! Leslie was incredible during the entire wedding planning process supporting a bride living in North Carolina and a groom living in Florida-- getting married in California! Leslie’s organizational skills are unmatched and her innovation and ingenuity made our wedding unique and perfectly ours! She valued attention to detail, emanated creativity, and made our wedding vision come to life. Her team worked extremely well with the vendors we selected, and her preferred vendors demonstrated her same commitment to excellence. She also committed to helping us stay within our budget and even helped us get more bang for our buck. Effective wedding coordination is a gift, and Leslie Jones has it! Without hesitation she consistently went above and beyond. Most notably, with only a few days in California during the planning process (during the holidays), Leslie maximized our short visit, coordinating meetings with potential vendors, ensuring we were confident despite long-distance wedding planning. From our first look to our last dance, Leslie and her team did an awe-inspiring job and ensured we were stress-free and enjoyed every second of our wedding day!

Our wedding day was absolutely amazing! Our initial planning meetings were time well spent with Leslie. She really took the time to understand what our vision was, helped us make informed decisions within our budget, and was helpful in providing consultative advise on wedding etiquette type of issues. They were always available to us when we needed to meet via phone, email, or in person. I especially appreciated the vendor relationships that they had that afforded us some great options. We enjoyed working with the selected vendors (photography, makeup, lighting, florist, etc.) and all of them provided superior service. Leslie knows how to make an event beautiful, and I was surprisingly calm the day of knowing they had everything under control. My guests still talk about how uniquely “us” our wedding day was. We agree!
