There is no way to put into words just how grateful we are to Paula and her amazing team. Our wedding day went perfectly because of her careful planning and ability to source vendo...
rs who were all incredibly professional. We got engaged in October 2024 and dreamed of a New England fall wedding. She made that happen on October 4, 2025, because she sprung into action to find venues with availability as soon as we hired her. She never pushed us to change anything about our vision, and worked within our budget and other logistical constraints. We always looked forward to our video calls throughout the year because Paula and her assistant Isabelle were so kind and reassuring that everything was going to plan - and it was! Paula was polite but firm with our vendors in the rare occasion we had any concerns with them. She is the anxious bride’s very best and needed planner, therapist, and true friend! Thank you, thank you Paula and team for working tirelessly to make the best day of our lives come together perfectly!
The absolute best. You are in exceptional hands with Paula, Isabelle, and the whole team. It's more than just a wedding planner relationship, you become friends and family. She is ...
committed to making your special day as perfect and magical as possible. And any mishaps, she handles with professionalism and quick thinking. I did not have to worry about a THING on wedding day which made us soak in every second of it. I was confident that Paula and team would handle anything. She made the entire planning process efficient, productive, and most importantly fun. Your wedding day is memorable, but equally so is the process. I will cherish the memories our family created together with Paula forever.
We had the pleasure of working with Paula and her team, and we can't sing her praises enough. Paula's thoughtful approach and attention to detail truly made our special day uniquel...
y ours. From the moment we started planning, she took the time to understand who we are as a couple, helped us create our vision and made sure every aspect of the day reflected who we are as a couple.
What we will always fondly remember is how she also went above and beyond to ensure that our guests had an amazing experience from start to finish. The Marrero Events team were so meticulous on our wedding day, tending to every small detail and even surprised us with a few we hadn't thought of.
Thanks to Paula's expertise and organization, the day ran so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. Her professionalism and dedication were truly exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.
If you're looking for someone who will make your wedding day truly special and unforgettable, look no further than Paula and the entire Marrero Events team!
We literally cannot say enough about Paula Marrero and Marrero Events. They are the most exceptional outstanding wedding planner one could ever imagine. From spot-on recommendatio...
ns to having all the right connections, to doing what is right for the wedding party (and the parents of the bride and groom) without pushing unnecessary expenditures, Paula can plan spectacular events. She is well organized, an exceptional communicator, she takes ownership, and has exceptional recommendations. We would give her 10 stars if we could.
When we decided to get married, we knew we needed a wedding planner but we had no idea how to find one. We had so many questions and so many worries as we both live out of state a...
nd travel for work constantly. The moment I spoke with Paula, I knew she was “the one” for us. She’s obviously been doing this for a long time and her expertise shows in how calmly she was able to talk me down every time I was feeling anxious or worried. Never did I call Paula and she didn’t make herself available for me no matter when it was. She was so much more than a wedding planner. She became a friend, a trusted ally, and the force behind our incredible wedding weekend! It never would have been possible without Marrero Events. Hire them – period.
I debated whether or not I actually wanted to write this review for the past year. Coming up on our 1-year wedding anniversary, I'm going to be honest, the sloppy mistakes Paula ma...
de still bother us. We hired her based on her glowing reviews, and unfortunately, we had a wildly different experience working with her. We are detail oriented people, and Paula lacked attention to detail. We were all stressed the entire time working with her. She was disorganized, scattered, confused about plans we had already discussed, incorrectly confirmed details in our contracts, would tell us we were on track one minute and then the next asked why we hadn't decided something yet, and ordered incorrect table settings then blamed the vendor for sending the wrong item. Our rehearsal was a nightmare. She couldn't figure out how to get the wedding party in and out of the pews in the correct order, and my bridesmaids had to step in and take over. We spent over double the "ouch" budget we gave her. She did recommend amazing vendors like our photographer and florist, yet she did not make sure all details in our contracts were carried out accordingly. She was rude to the catering staff who, yes, were making mistakes, but yelling obscenities at them only made it worse. I will give her credit for helping me fix my dress when the liner came out. Her team was very helpful, and they took great care of our items/decor that were packed up at the end. Yet our wedding cake top tier was dropped and smashed. Paula was nice at first, but when we held her accountable for her mistakes, she refused to discuss anything further and blamed everyone else. At the end of the day, we had a beautiful wedding and our guests had a fabulous time (because they didn't plan it, so they didn't know what went wrong). But when you know exactly what you want, communicate it, agree upon it, and it still isn't right, it left us annoyed on our wedding day. Not the ideal way to feel at your wedding. Of course I didn't expect everything to be perfect, knew some things were bound to happen, and don't blame her for things outside her control (like the weather...it rained and we had to scrap plan A for a never really discussed plan B). But overall, I would highly advise against hiring Paula, especially if you have a clear vision and know exactly what you want. I think she is a planner for someone who has no idea what they want or someone who doesn't particularly care about details. As much as we regret hiring her, the saving grace and silver lining was having her introduce us to our photographer. He breathtakingly captured our wedding so perfectly that we will always be grateful for the memory of what went right.
I can't say enough amazing things about Paula and her team! From the moment we met her, everything about our wedding planning experience was seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable. P...
aula is an absolute pro—organized, detail-oriented, and always ahead of the game.
What really sets Paula apart, though, is how easy she is to talk to. She listens, understands exactly what you want, and then brings those dreams to life in ways that exceed expectations. We had a lot of special requests, and she handled everything with such grace and enthusiasm, always offering the best advice and creative solutions.
Our vendors absolutely loved working with Paula—she’s clearly well-respected in the industry, and that made everything run smoothly. It felt like we were all on the same page, and that made the whole planning process feel like a collaborative, enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one.
On the big day, Paula and her team were worth their weight in gold. Everything was executed perfectly, from the timeline to the tiniest details, and I could genuinely relax and enjoy every moment because I knew Paula had it all under control. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only incredibly skilled but also kind, patient, and fun to work with, Paula is your person! She helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect, and we are so grateful for everything she did. Highly, highly recommend!
After booking most of our vendors myself, I realized I would need assistance in planning the remaining details and coordinating everyone involved with my wedding. I reached out to ...
Paula and was immediately excited to work with her! Both her and Lisa were warm, reassuring, and professional the entire lead up to the wedding - I felt that I was truly in good hands! They both had so many ideas on how to make our wedding personal and special and totally understood my design vision. I also appreciated how they always made sure we were getting our best value from our venue and vendors and spending our money where it counted. On the wedding day, both Paula and Lisa were there for us coordinating all of the vendors, setting up our gorgeous reception room, and solving last minute challenges. I am beyond thankful that I found the Marrero events team and do not know what I would have done without them! I would happily recommend Marrero events to anyone I know getting married in the Boston area!
Paula and her planners took such great care in planning our wedding. We had selected the majority of our vendors when we realized we needed a planner to make it all come together. ...
Paula's confidence and competence took away all of my anxieties so I could enjoy the excitement. She was not afraid to stick up for our best interests and knew all of the tricks and tips to ensure we got the most of our venue, catering options, music, lighting - all of it. On the day of, she and her team ensured everything went smoothly. Could not recommend hiring Marrero Events enough to plan your wedding !
Paula and her team did superb job throughout the process. We decided to hold the event at our home. She walked us through the process upfront including the pros and cons. She prese...
nted experienced, professional vendors for my wife and daughter to select. She made multiple visits to our home, as needed, and throughout the process. She told us that it was her prime objective to make sure we did not have to worry about any detail on the day of the wedding. She was true to her word. She earned the ultimate seal of approval from my daughter, the bride, when at the end of the evening she remarked to me “best day of my life”. For a Dad, the best thing one can hear, and due in no small part, to the incredibly hard work of Paula and her team.
Paula was an absolute godsend for our big day. She managed expectations with us for about a year leading up to our event, coordinated all of the vendor relationships, and recommend...
ed great vendors for us. We had snags with the venue and Paula was on top of everything to keep them accountable and make sure everything would go smoothly. My wife and I are type-A people and Paula allowed us to relax and not feel nervous. Would recommend her and her team to anyone!
We knew we would be in good hands with Paula and team from the first conversation. Paula, Alison, and Lisa were all incredibly professional and knew how to make things happen - in ...
the smartest and most cost effective ways - but also were just plain fun to plan with. They completely understood and internalized the vibe of the day that we wanted to create and helped execute a day that was more special and true to our hopes that we could ever have wished for. Forever grateful for this crew and their work and support!! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Paula is absolutely incredible at everything she does and is such a dream to work with. We would not have made through the wedding planning process without her. Our original date w...
as in October 2020, which obviously wasn't feasible. She helped guide us through the tumult of changing our date, rebooking our vendors, and managing the guest list, among the many, many other things that go along with rescheduling a wedding. Paula was always available as soon as we needed anything, and was amazing at navigating some admittedly tricky family dynamics. She is exceptionally organized and professional, and is one of the warmest, kindest humans you will ever meet. Our entire wedding party and both families all fell in love with her. She also has amazing vendor recommendations and connections, so you won't go wrong with any of her suggestions. Simply put, Paula is the best and will make planning your wedding as stress-free as possible and a truly great experience.
From the moment I first spoke with Paula Marrero I knew that she would be a perfect fit for my daughter and me. As I was thinking about all of the aspects of my daughter’s wedding...
that needed to be coordinated; everything from to out of town guests, the need for bus transportation for 200+ people and the rest, I was becoming anxious. Paula very calmly and patiently told me that my job was to let go. This was difficult for me to do as I am a former event planner myself. She stated that my role was to sit back, relax and enjoy watching my daughter get married and have the best day of her life. That is exactly what Paula allowed me to do!
With Paula and her staff, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Paula and her staff’s knowledge of the industry and connections made the planning of the wedding seamless. Her recommendations for choice of vendors were spot on. I knew that we had chosen the right planner because everyone in the industry with whom we spoke in the greater Boston area knew and respected Paula. Paula “took the reins” without hesitation and was not hesitant to jump right in if we hit a bump in the road due to this crazy pandemic.
From the minute we hired her to the moment the reception ended our job was to just enjoy ourselves and that is what we did. My daughter’s wedding was beautiful and something I and my family will remember for a lifetime. The entire process was made so much easier because of the knowledge, talent and creativity of Paula and her staff. Now my daughter and I consider Paula to be part of our family!
Thank you, Paula and staff, for everything you do.
Sincerely,
CP
Paula was absolutely wonderful to work with. We had to postpone our original 2020 wedding date and during such a difficult time for everyone, she made it seamless. When our 2021 we...
dding came around she again took care of every detail and ensured everything was just as we wanted. I even changed my linen choice 4 days before the wedding and they were there waiting for me :) I can't recommend Paula enough. All of guests even commented on how well run our wedding day was!

g party (and the parents of the bride and groom) without pushing unnecessary expenditures, Paula can plan spectacular events. She is well organized, an exceptional communicator, she takes ownership, and has exceptional recommendations. We would give her 10 stars if we could.
Truly outstanding and professional! No detail overlooked or dismissed. Made our day a memory of perfection.
We worked with Marrero Events for almost a year leading up to our wedding date. There are so many good things about our experience working with Paula and Alison to possibly be able...
to enumerate here. Ever since our initial consultation, Paula understood us and our personalities perfectly, and tailored their service to our needs. They handled all of the nitty gritty stuff that we didn't need to know, but gave us full creative control over all the big picture decisions. And in some cases when they could tell we were struggling to make decisions, they helped exactly the right amount to guide us to a decision we were happy about and confident in.
On the day of, the event ran far more smoothly than we could even imagine possible. Due to rain, we unfortunately had to make the decision on the morning of to move the ceremony indoors. Alison made this transition perfectly seamlessly, getting the chairs and DJ and officiant and live streaming and all of our guests all ready indoors; we didn't have to lift a finger. And you would've thought we had been planning this beautiful indoor ceremony for months! It was also unexpectedly cold for a late spring day in Boston, and all of our female guests in dresses would have been freezing, if not for the Marrero Events team driving around town on the morning of to buy thick blankets for all of our guests.
Both in planning and in day-of coordination, Paula and Alison made our wedding day everything we wanted it to be and more. We couldn't be happier or more impressed with their service, and we would 100% recommend them to all couples!
I knew we were in good hands the first time I hired Marrero Events in 2016 so when my other daughter got engaged it was a no brainer. Paula and her team supported us through Covid-...
19 and moving our wedding date twice. She is a true professional and she is a kind person - the perfect combination in a planner. She knows everyone and understands how to make it happen. Best choice we ever made...twice.
I can't say enough nice things about Paula and her team. She guided us every step of the way through the wedding process and helped make our vision come to life. She is the perfect...
combination of professional and fun and made the process so simple. She was on top of every detail, no matter how small. On top of everything, she rescheduled our entire wedding twice due to Covid and never once let us feel any stress. I plan on recommending her to everyone I know for their weddings.
Paula supported us from beginning to end in planning and re-planning our wedding. We could not be more grateful.
Paula and her team were absolutely amazing every step of the way!! After changing our wedding plan multiple times due to COVID, we decided to plan a small ceremony in our backyard ...
on September 7th. We couldn’t have made it happen without Paula!
At first I was nervous to take on planning such a big event, but her personality instantly put me at ease. Paula was extremely helpful when finding new vendors, looking at the best ones for our specific needs, and even got the new caterers to recreate our original menu (we had already chosen one at our first venue), down to appetizers! We were also worried about planning a “pandemic wedding,” but Paula was very responsible in that aspect. She made sure that we had regulations in place to keep our guests safe.
She was always there to respond to all my questions (so many emails!) and make my wedding planning as stress free as possible. Our day was incredible! Paula paid attention to every detail, and it all came out beautifully. I wish I had another party to plan so I could work with Paula again, she’s the best!! We are so glad we trusted Marrero Events to plan our big day! Thank you, Paula!!
Paula and her team were a superb choice for our wedding celebration and really pulled through to bring my vision to life! I am definitely a bride that focuses on the details and th...
ey made sure that each detail was delivered on! Isabelle was great with helping coordinate transportation logistics that can always be tricky and Edwin... there is nothing else to say other than A+ rockstar - he was there with me the entire day, always cool, calm & collected. Paula is clearly an experienced professional with many years under her belt! She knows how to take control, give direction and get the job done! It is clear other vendors respect her and her craft. Paula has assembled an A team all around, from both the staff to also the top notch vendors she works with. I know that my dream wedding would not have come to life if Paula's attention to detail was not overseeing and I am very thankful for that!
What can I say. Plain and simple our wedding could not have been possible without Paula and her team. My husband and I knew we needed help to make our special day happen, but I was...
also nervous about how to find a planner. I didnt want to find someone to help us who would just in a way add more stress and pressure to the process. By fate a family friend suggested Paula and we subsequently discovered how well we meshed. Paula is kind, efficient, and just a beautiful soul all around. She kept us on track, was there for advice, and made the process very easy, all while assuring us not to worry or stress, and keeping us excited for our big day. There were many times when I would panic and feel loads of anxiety, only to talk with Paula and leave the conversation relieved and assured everything was going as it should be. In the end our wedding was everything we could have every imagined. There was nothing left unthought of and Paula and her team, along with the other vendors left 0 worries for us. My husband and I were joking that we never felt so VIP and special in our lives. We cant recommend Paula enough!
Paula Marrero and the entire Marrero Event team are true professionals in every sense of the word. As the Mother of the Bride of an only daughter, I wanted to enjoy every moment of...
the wedding day and not spend it managing vendors and all the details. Paula and her team were instrumental in ensuring that everything was as near perfect as possible! Paula is lovely to work with as she listens before offering her sage advice and then will look for the solution until the issue is resolved. Paula’s relationships with vendors is stellar and she is able to navigate through situations with the greatest of ease! The wedding celebration was simply divine and our guests and most importantly, the bride and groom, enjoyed themselves thoroughly! We are still talking about it a month later! We are thankful and grateful to Paula and her team.
We are so thankful to Paula & Team for bringing our wedding to life! We especially appreciated her strong relationships with so many vendors in the area - there are endless choices...
in Boston when it comes to florists, band, photography, etc. and Paula steered us in the right direction for everything! Despite the logistics of a city wedding, my family and I were able to truly soak in every moment of our wedding weekend because Paula & team had it under control. Our wedding was more than we could have dreamed of and Marrero Events made it happen!
When my now-wife told me that she wanted to hire a wedding planner, my first thought was “what the hell do we need that for?” If you find that you are asking yourself that question...
, trust me, you need a wedding planner.
Once you recognize that you need a planner, make the right choice and hire Paula and Marrero Events.
First, Paula and her team take care of the unavoidable issues that will come up. I forgot my tux shirt and cuff links in the bride’s room – no problem. After arriving at the venue, we realized that we left the marriage license at her parent’s house – no problem. We got to the venue and noticed that the dance floor was a fraction of the size that it should have been – again, no problem. Every item that arose on the day of our wedding, Paula and her team took care of, allowing my wife and me to enjoy the moment and the party that we took a year putting together.
Second, Paula takes the time to get to know you and your spouse-to-be. She understands that there are different personalities coming into the equation, along with different traditions and cultures. She takes your vision as her own and helps you put together YOUR wedding, not A wedding.
Third, and I cannot stress this enough, she got my wife (who has the quintessential Type-A personality) to relax. I don’t care how laid back and relaxed a couple you are – everybody is going to feel stress leading up to the wedding. Leading up to our wedding, Paula forced my wife and her mother to relinquish control of certain projects. Both of them thanked her for doing so.
Paula and her team are willing to take the weight and stress of the wedding planning process completely off of your shoulders. And she will do so for an exceptionally fair price.
Hire Paula and Marrero Events. You will not be sorry.
If you’re even considering a wedding planner, look no further! Words cannot even describe Paula and her team. The level of professionalism they exemplify is rare and I am so sad to...
have ended our planning process because I enjoyed it so much (Not many people can say that). Not only did Paula and her team make the process SO easy but by my wedding week, everyone was truly concerned that I wasn’t stressed out. Why be stressed when you have complete confidence that your wedding planner will execute your vision perfectly. Paula was the very best support, inner voice and guide throughout this special, yet potentially overwhelming process. The moment we first spoke on the phone two years ago, I knew we were going to work well together as she is a very knowledgeable, confident and a genuinely caring person. Paula and her team worked endlessly to make sure everything goes smoothly and because they are so organized; we always talk about plan As and plan Bs to plan ahead for things. FINALLY, what other wedding planner is willing to corset two white wedding dresses in 5 minutes and help with 4 total outfit changes in 1 day. I need not say more…you will not be disappointed with Marrero Events, I have truly gained a friend throughout the process and am so happy with the outcome so I am confident you will be as well. Happy wedding planning.
With the help and expertise of Paula Marrero, I achieved my goal as the Mother of the Bride. I wanted my daughter and her future husband to have the most spectacular wedding day w...
ith everything they wanted. It was evident throughout the weekend of their wedding that they were both extremely pleased.
I know this is what Paula does every day, but she treated us like we were the most important wedding she had ever done. She was also very patient with our need for perfection.
Throughout the process, her attention to detail, ideas and advice were priceless! Everything went off without a hitch. We could not have had a better Wedding Planner. Paula not only knows how to direct her clients through the process, but she is a blessing the day of the wedding. She is calm, collected, professional and knowledgeable. In a word....perfect!
I especially loved the vendors that Paula recommended. They were all terrific! The flowers were spectacular. The photographer and videographer captured absolutely everything we wanted. She has relationships with so many venues and vendors. That alone is priceless!
The final month was hectic with all of our last minute hotel room changes. Paula handled everything with such grace and professionalism.
I highly recommend Marrero Events to anyone planning a wedding. Simply stated, Paula Marrero was absolutely wonderful, and I can not be more grateful.
Hiring Paula as our month-of wedding planner was the best decision that we made during the entire wedding planning process. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Paula and her tea...
m were excellent communicators, punctual, thorough, flexible, and respectful of our needs and our vision. She went above and beyond in every way, and helped us wrangle a number of challenging vendors so that the day flowed absolutely seamlessly and we could just sit back and enjoy the celebration. 5 stars!!
Paula Marrero and her associates at Marrero Events lead the planning efforts for our wedding, which occurred at the Liberty Hotel in the Beacon Hill section of Boston, MA in Augus...
t 2018. Based on our experience, I can state without reservations that Paula communicates a compelling vision, and is committed to meeting the expectations of the bride and groom. Overall, Paula has a highly developed wedding industry acumen and (very importantly) the soft skills required to foster collaboration with the bride, groom, vendors, and all associated wedding parties. In general, Paula Marrero and her associates at Marrero Events exceeded our expectations with their enduring enthusiasm, creativity, teamwork, flexibility, leadership, organization, initiative, motivation, integrity and accountability. If we have another event, we will certainly seek Paula Marrero’s expertise!
Some of the things that stood out about the experience of Marrero events planning our wedding include the following:
• Paula particularly can solve even the toughest and most complex of problems; She is great at gleaning meaning from whatever information is available; and adds personal wisdom and experience to come to the best conclusion and solution, given the situation
• Paula can quickly separate the mission-critical from the nice to dos and trivial; she quickly senses what's the next most useful thing to work on; and focuses on the critical few tasks that really add value and puts aside or delays the rest
• Paula manages Marrero events and vendors well; she gets the most and best out of the people she has; sets and communicates guiding goals; measures accomplishments, holds people accountable, and gives useful feedback; and keeps people informed
• Paula relates well to a wide variety of diverse styles, and types; she is open to differences; quick to find common ground; treats differences fairly and equitably; and treats the bride and groom as a preferred customer.
• Paula is highly skilled at getting individuals, and teams to perform at a higher level ; and negotiates skillfully to achieve a fair outcome or promote a common cause
• Paula understands various types of wedding vendor business propositions and understands how vendors operate in general and applies knowledge to facilitate wedding event decisions
Paula and Isabelle were instrumental to the planning and successful execution of our wedding. From weekly phone calls to patiently responding to our worried emails at all hours, so...
lving last minute problems (like when we realized a day before the wedding that we couldn’t use real candles) to thoughtfully corresponding with our vendors, Paula and Isabelle truly did it all. After choosing our venue, a small rental hall, we realized that we really had no idea how to plan a wedding on our own. Paula and Isabelle went above and beyond to make sure that we knew what we were doing and what we needed to accomplish week by week. Our venue presented its own set of challenges, as its small size and unique combination of indoor and outdoor space really put Paula and Isabelle’s creativity to the test- but they passed with flying colors! They were incredibly patient with us, a detail-oriented/nervous bride and a laid-back groom. The best way to describe it is that we felt like we had two fairy godmothers who seamlessly executed every detail of our wedding while we simply enjoyed our day together (down to the tiny details like Paula fixing the groom’s boutonniere just minutes before he walked into the church). We are so grateful to Paula and Isabelle for everything they did for us, and we highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking coordinators who are passionate, creative, thoughtful and patient throughout the wedding planning process.
Where to even begin! My husband and I spent hours researching venues from out of state and had more questions then answers! We called Paula thinking we were just going to ask som...
e questions and continue on our searching! From the first 5 minutes of the call we knew we had to work with her. She answered all of our MILLIONS of questions and we felt like we had been talking with a friend we had known for years!
Paula made the best connections for us and our vendors, she was spot on with her recommendations and knew the types of vendors we would want to work with! Her staff is also amazingly professional and are all super quick to answer questions -- again we had a lot - and help us research anything we needed more information on!
We got married on one of the Boston Harbor Islands, which took quite a bit of logistics. I never felt an ounce of stress throughout the entire process because I had full confidence in Paula and her team. It was amazing to have them there on the day of because I could completely relax and take in all of the special moments of the day! And again, it felt like having a trusted friend by my side through the whole thing!
Hire Paula if you want to get the most out of your wedding day and the process leading up. She knows exactly what you need to get you from your clueless days of combing wedding websites to walking down the isle of your dream wedding! You will not regret anything about working with Marrero Events!
Having been a bridesmaid at least a dozen times, I knew that one of the most important things I wanted at my wedding was to be able to spend time with my family and friends who wou...
ld be traveling from all over the country. Having Paula at our wedding made the whole day seem easier, more organized, and I didn't have to deal with a thing. I heard from many guests that Paula's team was gracious and attentive to their needs, going above and beyond their responsibility. I cannot recommend Paula enough.
Concern number one: My husband and I live outside of the state where our wedding was to be held.
Concern number two: We both work full time and travel extensively for our jobs.
Con...
cern number three: Neither of us are the type who wanted to spend countless hours researching, returning emails and phone calls, answering a million questions about our wedding planning.
SOLUTION: Enter Paula Marrero and the Marrero Events team. I immediately felt relieved and comforted the very first time I spoke with Paula and completely put our trust in her from day one. Paula is an expert at her craft and a logistical genius who just about knows everyone in the wedding industry. Her calming demeanor was exactly what we needed and hiring her was the best decision we made by far. Thank you Paula!
My husband and I learned there is just so much involved in planning a wedding, even for someone like me who is familiar with planning and managing events. A wedding is just diffe...
rent. Enter Paula, and the Marrero Events Team.
I was new to Boston, needed suppliers, and someone to tell me what we needed and most importantly what to do.
Enter Paula. Paula is a real Pro. The wedding took just four months to plan, and Paula swooped down and saved my sanity. I can honestly say, I just let her take charge and enjoy the day and the party. I can't thank her enough. Everything went off like clockwork, and everyone said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been! So if you want to be confident of having a successful wedding day--Marrero Events should be your first call. They are worth their weight in gold.
Like another reviewer said, hiring Paula Marrero and the whole Marrero Events team was hands down the BEST decision we made in our wedding planning process. I truly don't know wher...
e to begin in expressing our gratitude for Paula and her team as our wedding would not have been complete without them. Paula made our wedding day so much more than we ever could have dreamed (it was absolutely perfect) and we feel so fortunate that we were able to work with her in planning the biggest day of our lives.
I knew I wanted Paula to be our planner from the moment I got on the phone with her (she is so kind, understanding, easy to talk to, I could go on and on about how wonderful of a person she is), but I never realized how truly instrumental she would be. Our wedding planning brought so much stress - from family dynamics, to vendor issues, to overall logistical challenges. Paula helped us navigate all of these, listened to us every step of the way, was our biggest advocate, and relieved all of our worries. She has incredible connections in the wedding industry and was able to put together a team of the best vendors, advised us on what we needed and didn't need, coordinated a seamless day-of timeline, and answered every single question we had and those we didn't even think to ask. She made time for all of my emails and phone calls, and made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with.
Behind Paula is also an incredible team. Everyone that we worked with at Marrero Events was so responsive and if you need anything, they are there to help you. I was very hands-on and controlling when it came to wedding planning, and one of the most valuable things Paula and her team brought to our wedding was reliability. I trusted Marrero Events completely and was able to leave everything in their hands with no hesitation. I was totally relaxed on wedding day, enjoyed every single moment with my new husband, and never had to worry about any issue (large or small) that may have popped up on wedding day, and that is without a doubt due to Paula and her team. We are so unbelievably grateful that Paula became our "wedding mom" and made our day absolutely perfect!
Hiring Paula was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. We had a hard-to-work-with situation where we lived across the country from the location of the wedding, and als...
o only started planning with about 4 months of time before our wedding date. Paula took care of *everything* - not only did the entire event run completely smoothly, sight unseen, but we were blown away by every single vendor she suggested. From the venue itself to the caterer to the band to even the wedding cake, we got so many specific compliments and questions about how we found X or Y vendor from our guests well into the next month after our wedding was over. We could have counted one or two outstanding vendors as lucky, but when they were so consistently stellar across the board, it was so obvious that it was thanks to Paula's expertise and experience... there is absolutely no way we could have planned a wedding even half as good as this by ourselves. Paula walked us through every detail, handled every outside interaction, responded to every question and even anticipated so many that we didn't even know to ask... our guests wouldn't stop telling us how much fun they had at our wedding, but we think the two of us somehow were able to have the most fun of anyone there. ;) We still cannot believe just how perfect we truly felt the wedding turned out - you definitely won't regret hiring Paula for yours!
Paula and her team were lifesavers and I can't recommend them highly enough! It was during our food tasting with our caterer when we were asked if we considered a wedding coordin...
ator. Up to that point, we hadn't but we could see the value of having someone on site the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly so we quickly did some research. We interviewed four planners and after our first call with Paula, we knew she was the one we wanted to work with. She stood out heads and shoulders above the others and we clicked with her instantly on the phone. Throughout the process, she was so organized, reassuring and willing to help with every little detail. She has tons of connections in the industry and was always able to make excellent suggestions or recommendations when asked. On the day of our wedding, we were able to enjoy it worry free because we knew we had the A team running point on the details. We loved our wedding and we largely attribute it to Paula and team. They are so easy to work with and will go the extra mile to make the day special. I would hire Paula again in a heartbeat!!!
Honestly, when our wedding planning process began, we did not know if we needed a planner. Now we can’t image our wedding without Marrero Events. Paula and her team are the fairy g...
odmothers we didn’t realize we needed. Her team coordinated every detail before, during and even after the wedding. Paula was a true delight to work with, she was very detail oriented and extremely professional working with all our vendors. Paula was fast to respond to our emails or questions and was always incredibly organized. To this day, I’m not sure we could convey the magnitude of what they did behind the scenes. After we started working with Marrero Events, we never had to stress about things getting done. We can’t thank Paula enough as she definitely put us at ease on our big day! We highly recommend Marrero Events, and we already miss working with Paula. We can't express our gratitude enough!
Paula was with us throughout our 18+ month engagement and planning process, and guided us every step of the way. Most of our vendors were recommendations from Paula (all of which w...
ere incredible), and Paula answered every question we had along the way. We truly would have been lost without Paula and her help, all of which was abundantly clear the day of the wedding when we did not have a care in the world and were able to enjoy every moment of our day. All of our guests were impressed with how smooth the event was, and that was all due to Paula's hard work and professionalism. We cannot thank Paula enough for her dedication to our wedding, which was truly the best day of our lives.
My wedding was flawless, thanks to Paula and her team! Paula kept us on time for everything the day of the wedding and took care of all vendor communication. Her experience in the ...
industry is extremely helpful. She knew what to do in every situation and recommended vendors (flowers, hair/makeup) to us when we asked.
We hired Paula about 18 months prior to our wedding date and during that initial conversation I was noticeably nervous (I hate being the center of attention, so I was very nervous for my wedding). She told me right then that she would plan it so well and we would discuss it so many times that I would want to do it twice. And she was right- I would love to do the whole day all over again! Paula had prepared me so well. I had so many questions along the way and Paula was happy to answer each and every one of them.
Paula, we couldn't have done it without you and Isabelle, thank you!
After we got engaged, we decided that we wanted a wedding in Massachusetts. We knew we would need to hire a wedding planner as we live in California. Being the organized person tha...
t I am, I decided to make an excel spreadsheet of the best wedding planners in and around Boston. After extensive internet searches, my spreadsheet included 12 wedding planning companies with the highest accolades. I did phone interviews with each of them. The first time we spoke with Paula Marrero, I appreciated her tell it like it is, yet kind professionalism. We hired Paula for full service coordination of our wedding and it was the best decision we made.
Paula is an incredible person. Not only does she know what she is doing and has a fantastic reputation within the Boston wedding industry, but she is also fun, smart and genuinely cares about the couples she works with. Any engaged couple can do Google searches for the “best wedding photographer” or “best venue”. The reason you hire Paula is that she knows everyone in the industry AND she knows what their personalities are like. She knows who you will enjoy working with and who you won’t. Paula and her right-hand woman, Isabelle, helped us created the wedding I had dreamed of. It was perfect in every way possible. Marrero Events helped with every aspect of the weekend of our wedding from rehearsal to rehearsal dinner to the day of the wedding. We loved every minute of our wedding and could not have imagined doing any of it without Paula and Isabelle.
Wedding planners are expensive, but think of it like a realtor. You can sell or buy a home without a realtor, but the process is messy and complicated. If you don’t have a full-time job and have endless hours to spend on contacting vendors and setting up meetings, you probably don’t need a wedding planner. I highly recommend hiring Marrero Events. They have a wide range of service options to make it work within your budget. It will be the best first wedding decision you will make.
As the mother of the bride, I watched my very capable daughter carefully plan and handle a million details, chipping in where she asked for my help. But as the wedding grew closer...
, I was happy to hear she engaged Marrero Events for coordination of day-of wedding planning. I could tell she felt better just knowing she had this support. And during the last few days of the wedding, Teresa McKillop was just invaluable to my daughter and to my husband and I with all of the many details that go into a smooth wedding. The actual event was wonderful and, best of all, all of us -- especially the bride -- got to enjoy it instead of worry about the details. Teresa was just terrific and I'd highly recommend her!
We just returned from our honeymoon and people are still contacting us to say ours was the best wedding they've ever been to. We both couldn't be more thankful to Paula Marrero an...
d her team at Marrero Events. From the moment I first spoke to her, Paula was reassuring, kind, and exactly what I was hoping to find since we lived across the country from where our wedding was taking place. Paula spent time trying to learn about us and what we wanted (but didn't have time to research and create ourselves) and was kind enough to work with my mom as well. I cannot say enough about Marrero Events on so many levels. Leading up to our wedding day, Paula was a calming force and as cliche as it sounds, we truly felt like the guests of honor at our wedding and didn't even worry about a thing. Somehow it all just happened flawlessly and the room was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined with not a detail missed. I wish I could relive it all over again. Without a doubt in our minds, you should definitely hire Marrero Events!
We hired Marrero Weddings and Events as the planners for our daughter's wedding and they were terrific. Paula and Teresa gave us much more attention and service than we anticipated...
, and we couldn't have been happier. They had excellent attention to detail and were sensitive to family matters and very helpful when any issues arose. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Paula and her whole team (especially Isabelle!) were amazing! I spoke to a few wedding planners when trying to decide if I was event going to hire one and Paula was the easiest dec...
ision I made during wedding planning! We hit it off from the first time we spoke over the phone and she soon became not only my wedding planner but also my friend and therapist all rolled into one! She recommended the best vendors and was our biggest advocate and point of contact with all our vendors including our venue, which was very difficult to work with. Paula is a straight shooter like me, so genuine and kind, and has the most calming nature. She could always tell when I was stressed and knew exactly what to say to reassure me or help me in any way possible. I always felt a wave of relief after our weekly calls because I knew she had it handled. And she certainly did! Our wedding was beautiful and perfect all thanks to Paula and her team! We would not have had the amazing team of vendors or such a seamless wedding without her. One of the worst parts about my wedding being over is that I won’t get to talk to Paula almost every day, she’s truly an amazing person. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, Paula’s the best pick in the business and I couldn’t come up with enough nice things to say about her! Thank you Paula, I don't know what I would have done without you!
I could not have asked for a more perfect match (aside from finding my partner) than Marrero Events. Paula Marrero and her team have curated the perfect formula for wedding planni...
ng and my mother, who thankfully lives in the Boston area and helped me plan our wedding, was without a care when our wedding weekend finally arrived. I attribute this to Paula Marrero, who so kindly worked with both me and my mom every step of the way to ensure we always understood our options and made the decisions that were right for our day. My partner and I could not have been happier on our wedding day and truly felt like guests at our own wedding. Thank you to the entire Marrero Events team for being such a significant part of our lives for nearly two years. We miss you already!
Paula and her whole team were incredible! (Especially Teresa McKillop!) From my very first conversation with Paula when I was unsure whether I even wanted or needed a wedding pla...
nner, she made me feel comfortable and reassured and was incredibly generous with her time. In retrospect, I don't know what I would have done without her! Hiring Marrero Events was the best decision we could have made!
Paula and her staff were the opposite of pushy - they gently guided us through the whole process of planning our wedding and only stepped in to take over when we wanted them to. Every vendor they recommended was absolutely superb, and for the few vendors we picked on our own, they worked with them seamlessly. They were extremely responsive to our emails and helped us with everything from finding a spot for the rehearsal dinner that could accommodate our big families to figuring out how to get our dog to the venue so he could walk down the aisle! During the wedding weekend, I honestly did not stress about a single thing; I just enjoyed every moment like it was some kind of dream. Everything went so smoothly, and I was completely relaxed knowing that if there were any glitches, Paula's team was dealing with them behind the scenes. Teresa did an awesome job handling a ton of details and exuded total calm and competence throughout the weekend.
We have had so many compliments about our wedding; so many friends and family have gone out of their way to tell us it was among the best (if not the best) wedding they've been to. I credit Paula and her team for everything coming together so beautifully and with so little anxiety and stress on our part. If you are wondering whether or not you need a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and go with Paula and her team! You will not regret it!
Paula and her team were instrumental in making our wedding happen! Paula was incredibly giving and helpful with her time and advice she provided, even before we signed a contract w...
ith her. She and her team are so responsive, knowledgeable, and capable. This was the best money we spent for our wedding as it made everything else happen. Highly recommend!
