Marissa Reneé Weddings & Events

i) Time commitment: Marissa was there with us every step of the wedding planning process. She spent a lot of time with us going through every detail of planning. She was also not afraid to customize the process (which would often involve going in several different directions to figure out the best path forward) to incorporate ideas from different cultures for our fusion wedding. When initial vendor choices didn't pan out, Marissa quickly stepped in to find suitable alternatives and even hopped on phone calls to mediate and iron out any wrinkles. ii) Knowledge: Marissa helped bring to the fore several aspects of wedding planning that we were not actively thinking about. For instance, she made sure that we locked in our hotel block and transportation to the wedding well in advance. This was really helpful because in retrospect, many of our guests enjoyed spending extended time with our friends and family at the hotel. Marissa also had great vendor recommendations. She was also very knowledgeable about vendor contracts and helped us in understanding all the details here. Marissa also has a great eye for design. She designed the color palette for our wedding and played a crucial role in bringing together the various design elements of our wedding, including the florals, signage and rentals. iii) Responsiveness: Marissa kept us on track. She came up with very useful timelines. She always responded promptly to our messages, and made time to hop on calls with us, sometimes even on short notice. iv) Personality: Marissa has a warm, positive and friendly demeanor. She and her team were very cordial to our guests and made everyone feel welcome the day of our wedding. She is very professional in her communications. v) Reliability: Planning a 100+ person wedding is a lot of work and we are so grateful that we could always lean on her. She and her assistant did a lot behind the scenes during the wedding to keep things running smoothly. Coordinating 15+ vendors is no joke and Marissa did it seamlessly leading up to and on the day of our wedding.

. We couldn't have gotten through it without her. She instantly took the initiative to reach out to every single vendor and also help calm on nervous throughout the process. She was so patient, concise and very detailed from helping us pick a color scheme to all of the stunning floral and center pieces. Thank you Marissa for all of your hard work. I can't say enough good things about this creative, talented and driven boss babe.

nicating with other vendors, and guiding us to make decisions to help our wedding vision come to life. She also has an amazing eye for design and the smaller details that made us feel like our day was truly special and a representation as us as a couple. On the day of, things could not have gone more smoothly and I was not stressed at all since we knew we were in great hands! She was especially helpful with our unexpected cold rainy day in September in Sonoma where she coordinated last minute heaters and floor plan rearrangements to help keep our guests dry and warm. She is truly the best and our day would not have been the same without. We cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for event planning!

ssa in December of 2019, I'd done most of the sourcing of vendors, and needed help with what I called "the minutia." I didn't know how to source table runners, or chargers, or how to make my Pinterest dreams come true. Not only did Marissa do EXACTLY THAT, but she also helped us navigate through a COVID postponement. Each step of the way, Marissa was there: organized, calm, and collected. She was INCREDIBLE at creating timelines, design boards, and working with both my husband and I to make our true vision come to life. She even worked with my husband to plan a few surprises in the reception! ONE MILLION out of 10. I would stand on a rooftop and scream Marissa's praises if she asked me to. Look no further - this is the planner for you.
