We will be forever grateful for Maristel & Jess and their amazing team! They truly made our wedding day the most perfect fairytale that we will cherish forever. From beginning prep to after the wedding they were incredibly supportive. They brought us the best vendors, had the best design and ideas, and are just the sweetest people ever. People warn you that your wedding day can’t be perfect, but ours WAS perfect, with so, so much credit to Maristel and Jessica! I don’t know what we would have done without them. They came through in so many ways in our wedding prep and especially on the day of. We could go on and on about them. We had our perfect design, flowers, cake, food, timeline, etc, and it was all thanks to Maristel and Jess. They took the stress out of the wedding day and made it the most incredible day so that my husband and I could celebrate our marriage in pure bliss. We appreciate the hard work they put into our day and months leading up so much. On day of they made it all seem so effortless, but we know how much work they put in behind the scenes. Most importantly Maristel and Jess are incredible people with big hearts who are the most caring and supportive to all they work with.
I can not say enough positive input about our experience. I hired Jessica last minute as a Day of Wedding Coordinator for my daughter's wedding. She and her team exceeded our expectations! She remained positive, calm, and kept everything seamless throughout. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them ! She and the team allowed me the opportunity to relax and enjoy that time with my daughter. They went far and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Again, can not give them enough accolades! Thank you Jessica! We feel so fortunate and blessed to have had you on our team!
I cannot recommend using Mari and Jess Designs enough!!! Hiring this team was the best decision I could have made when it came to planning my wedding. I was completely overwhelmed and would have no idea how to start planning the big day, but Mari and Jess held my hand through it all and brought my vision to life. Mari and Jess have an extensive list of vendors that they have vetted and are sure will provide the best service that will make your dream wedding possible, all while keeping you on budget. Their vision board for our wedding kept every vendor on the same page and allowed us to know that we were picturing the same thing. Mari and Jess made a point to reach out and include our families in the planning while keeping the focus on us. They came ready to work the day of with so much joy for us as a couple and handled every situation professionally and quietly, taking so much stress off. Mari and Jess were full of ideas on how to make our wedding unique and focused on our relationship, something that was very important to us from the start.
Most importantly, through every step of the planning process, Maristel and Jess took the time to understand us as a couple and what we wanted from our big day. They made sure we remembered what the most important part of getting married was and encouraged sneaking moments together that I will remember for the rest of your life. Mari and Jess were the greatest investment for the most amazing day, the wedding would not have been the same without them!
It is difficult to think of a time I have been so enthusiastic to provide a recommendation for a business. We worked with Maristel and Jessica from June/July of 2021 through March of 2022 in order to plan our March 6 wedding. Other couples had relayed the stress that planning for a wedding produced - in our case I found myself looking forward to visiting handpicked vendors that fit our taste and style. The breadth of vendors that we were exposed to, from photography to catering to desserts, was significant and clearly well-sourced from prior experience. While so much of the stressful work that normally occupies engaged couples was taken off our plate, the work that was there was helped along by reminders from Maristel and Jessica, meaning we could rest easy knowing we were on track. All this said, it is difficult to convey how perfectly everything came together the day of our wedding. From the venue to the entertainment to the food and decorations, it was an ensemble that could not have been put together without their guidance, with so many special details reflecting us as a couple that we never would have thought of on our own. Even better, we felt that we could relax the day of the wedding and enjoy our guests and the festivities - we knew everything else was being handled behind the scenes. As we walked through the sparklers that night and waved goodbye to our guests, my spouse and I felt we had the most perfect day of our lives - truly magical. We received many, many compliments from guests regarding different aspects of the wedding, and members of the wedding party specifically complimented Maristel and Jessica's work as being on a different level relative to their prior experience with individuals in the same industry. Finally, for the incredible value delivered their services came at an incredibly reasonable price. Thank you Maristel and Jessica for giving us such a perfect day - we'll never forget it.
Maristel and Jess are simply the best! First of all they did a great job of listening to us and understanding what we wanted our day to look like then they went out to execute to the very last detail! Nothing was impossible for them to get done, even the very last minute requests. Super excited we decided to go with them to plan our special day! They made our dreams come into reality.

I work for a venue and our brought in these two amazing planners, as a team we worked together to make dreams happen. But, that’s what you get when you work with a DREAM TEAM.

That speaks volumes when working in the event industry.

What a great experience from beginning to end. I don’t know if I can put into words how amazing this team truly has been for us.❤
Maristel and Jessica from MariandJessDesigns came highly recommended during our planning process. I was so impressed with them from the very first meeting.
The entire wedding planning process with them was FUN and totally stress free. They took care of every detail with prayer, grace and with style. They were detail oriented, organized, punctual, and extremely reliable. They worked within our budget to create the look we were trying to achieve. They also guided us through vendor relations and negotiations. They kept us in the loop of any COVID updates and perfected every wedding detail. Most importantly, they made our day flawless. Maristel & Jessica coordinated with our vendors, family members, and wedding party seamlessly. Their entire team was friendly and made sure we had no worries on our BIG day! The compliments we got from our guests were not only about how great the wedding was, but how great our wedding planner was!
Maristel & Jessica also helped us with our floral arrangements. The arrangements were BEAUTIFUL, we received so many wonderful compliments from our guests.
To all future brides – choosing mariandjessdesigns to help plan your special day will be the best decision you could make!
THANK YOU, Maristel, Jessica, and your entire design team!
Love,
Ruby & Amit
Very personable, yet professional. All I basically had to do was show up!
We weren’t sure about hiring a planner at first, but we’re so glad we did! Mari and Jess are worth it! They made the planning process very smooth and easy from start to finish. They also had so many ideas and suggestions that we didn’t even think of! Our wedding day was everything we envisioned and more. They’ve always kept constant communication throughout the entire planning process and even went the extra mile with the most thoughtful gifts and heart to heart conversations when we needed someone to simply talk to. Highly recommend these very talented and passionate professionals!
Mari and Jess made our vow renewal so special! They went out of their way to ensure every single detail was accounted for and created such a beautiful and unique setting for us. They truly made our day feel like a dream and I did not think that was possible. Jess even had our vows written on these beautiful scrolls and those small details are the things that I would never think about it but are so important because they actually make a huge impact. They are so much fun to work with, super communicative and make everything so easy. You can tell they absolutely love what they do. What impressed me the most was watching how the team worked together. There was so much to be done in a small amount of time and they did it all WITHOUT showing stress. The entire team was so professional but you could tell they were having fun while setting up and even made my husband and I feel special during that process. I’ve been part of events where you could see the stress on the coordinators face and that really does affect the mood and can make the couple anxious and concerned. We did not have to worry about that with Mari and Jess and are so thankful for it! They make an amazing team I am so happy we got to work with them.
Mari and Jess went above and beyond for our wedding. They definitely exceeded our expectations. I would 100% recommend them to all my friends and family planning to get married.
Jess did an amazing job coordinating our wedding. She helped us with all the details and got everything together just as we wanted! She is so attentive and treated us like family. Would highly recommend their company for your wedding needs!
We hire Mari & Jess for literally everything. We heard about them through one of our friends and since then they have been helping us plan birthday parties, special days (Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentines/Galentines, and of course my wife and I big day 💍) They are very fun to work with. We highly recommend them.
Mari & Jess hosted my Mother's day celebration. They were very detailed in the decor, flowers, food, and pretty much everything. They are very detailed and very welcoming with guest. They made my day. Highly recommend.
This power duo couldn’t be more amazing!! They are such genuine kind human beings, they really listen to all your wants and needs and help you fit your dreams into your perfect day. They go out of there way to make you feel so special and are the best wedding coordinators around!!!
Maristel + Jess are two of the sweetest people! They are incredible at their job, extremely professional, and so much fun to be around! You will be in good hands from start to finish with these two, and your wedding day will be amazing and stress free!
