If I could give more than five stars, I would.
Our son Spencer's wedding at the Cliff House in Cape Neddick was absolutely magical, and so much of that was thanks to our incredibl...e wedding planner, Mali. From her very first conversations with the happy couple through the final farewell of the weekend, she was organized, calm, creative, and completely unflappable.
What impressed me most was her ability to handle both the grand vision and the unexpected emergencies with equal grace. The wedding weekend involved coordinating family, guests arriving from around the country, multiple events, and countless moving parts. Somehow she made everything look effortless.
One moment, in particular, perfectly captures who she is. Just before the ceremony, I was getting dressed in my late mother's gown, which I had carefully chosen to honor her memory. As I removed the dress from the hanger, the zipper suddenly broke. I thought I might not be able to wear it at all.
Without missing a beat, Mali stepped in. Calmly, confidently, and with remarkable ingenuity, she literally pinned me into the dress so beautifully and securely that no one would ever have known there had been a problem. What could have become a stressful, emotional disaster became simply another example of her professionalism and kindness.
Throughout the entire weekend she anticipated needs before anyone voiced them, solved problems before they became visible, and allowed our family to be fully present for every special moment. Instead of worrying about logistics, we were able to focus on celebrating Spencer and James and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
If you are looking for someone who combines exceptional organizational skills with genuine warmth, creativity, and grace under pressure, look no further. She was worth every penny and then some.
Our family will always be grateful for the role she played in making Spencer and James's wedding so joyful, beautiful, and unforgettable.
