Marrero Events

utes 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!

ur 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.

d 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!

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.

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!

edding 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!

f 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!!!

y 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!

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.

ation 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!

ng 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.

n 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!

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!

on to detail and were sensitive to family matters and very helpful when any issues arose. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

st 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!

lped 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!

bly 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!

capable. This was the best money we spent for our wedding as it made everything else happen. Highly recommend!

psychological rollercoaster surrounding the planning of a wedding, and exponentially reduced the overall stress level. Paula is also one of the hardest working, and most professional people I've ever done business with. She was chief advocate, coordinator, negotiator, friend, and shrink all rolled into one! One doesn't fully grasp the magnitude of the multi-faceted coordination and attention to detail involved in planning a successful wedding, until you're in it. We were so grateful to have had Paula's years of knowledge and expertise guiding us, especially since there are no do-overs with a wedding! Plus, she knows just about everything there is to know about finding the best vendors that match one's style and budget. Every one she had us work with was perfectly suited. She completely understood my daughter and her husband's vision, was super responsive and very flexible. She allowed those of us involved with the planning to breath much easier. The proof is in the pudding, and all our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to, even weeks after the event. Best of all, the bride and groom had a blast, and wedding memories that will last them a lifetime! Lastly, I will say that Paula is one of the NICEST and real people I have ever worked with. She's a straight shooter and her sense of humor and personal support in every way made her so fun to work with and both my daughter and I now consider her a friend. As my husband said repeatedly during the wedding planning, "Hiring Paula was the best money we spent on this wedding." Truer words could not be spoken! If you are hiring a wedding planner, this lady is simply the best there is, hire her immediately, you'll be very happy and grateful that you did!

nning process. Paula instantly put me at ease. Unlike other wedding planners I interviewed, she was genuinely interested in who I was as a person, who we were as a couple, how I was feeling about the process, and what I envisioned for the day. She provided EXCELLENT recommendations for local vendors... I was blown away by the venue, photographer, custom stationary artist, florist, DJ, caterer, baker, and other suppliers. Paula was able to read my personality and match me to vendors who understood my vision and who made my day truly magical. Paula & her team saved me so much time and money by introducing me to the best of the best in Boston and by coordinating everything along the way. It was a true gift to be able to trust the team throughout the process and to really hand things over during my wedding weekend. On a more personal note, I truly appreciated Paula's thoughtfulness and genuine caring for me and my husband. She anticipated so many of my emotional needs that I could not have predicted that weekend. She helped me truly experience and enjoy each moment on my wedding day. I felt relaxed, happy, and present with Paula's team by my side.

ng, including booking transportation, managing the day-of schedule, venue walk-throughs, decor and design, and so much more. On the day of the wedding, her staff kept the bride, groom, and bridal party cool, calm, and organized. They handled everything so that the day was seamless for us. We can't thank them enough for helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

and was able to help bring my vision to reality. We could not have pulled this off without them. This team really excelled in two areas: Day of coordination: they were even more incredible than I could have hoped. They handled some last minute emergencies and guests had no idea! They supervised everything so I could focus on the moment and my family. Vendor coordination: It turns out weddings are incredibly complicated and Paula was able to communicate with all the vendors so I didn't have to be a go-between. It was incredibly reassuring that Paula handled everything that came up with grace and ease. If I have another event, I would use Paula again in a heartbeat! They are worth every penny!!

r team helped us to choose a venue, vendors and all of the design elements. Wedding planning can be extremely overwhelming and chaotic but Marrero Events handled everything with grace and professionalism. Their experience in the industry and their relationships with vendors throughout New England are incomparable. Paula and her team know the past work of every vendor, appropriate costs for services and how to make an event seamless. As a very detail-oriented bride with a busy schedule, I always knew exactly what I wanted but I was completely at a loss for how things were supposed to be done. Marrero Events took my vision and put it into action. They listened to every single idea I had and worked to make those ideas a reality. Never once did they complain about changes that I proposed or worries that I had. They always put me at ease and in the end delivered a product that was a dream. Working with Paula and her team was an absolutely amazing experience that I only wish I could do again and again! From the first moment we met until the very last minute of our wedding weekend, Marrero Events worked tremendously hard to make everything perfect and to have everything go as planned. I cannot thank them enough for their work.

and bring that vision to life. Paula Marrero is on top of every detail, knows all of the best vendors (and which ones will be the best fit for each individual bride), is attentive to any and all needs, and knows how to answer every question and navigate every dilemma. She knows when to push you a bit, and when to remind you to relax and take a step back. In other words, she truly does it all! On my wedding day, I never felt that I had to worry about any of the details or what was coming next. Paula was always there, taking care of every detail and gently reminding me to stay focused on the present moment – the latter of which is something that I could not have done without her. The wedding was magical and absolutely beautiful, but the wedding planning process itself was just as special. Paula and Isabelle took the stress out of the process and made it fun. I loved our phone calls and meetings, and it was so hard to say good-bye after the wedding. I highly recommend Marrero Weddings and Events – you cannot find anyone better.

rom our first contact with Paula Marraro until she and her assistant finally left the wedding venue after the celebration ended, Paula provided extraordinary service. She absolutely knows everything you need to know. Paula listened to us. She asked the important questions and respected our needs. She understands budgets, family dynamics, scheduling issues, etiquette concerns and, most importantly, her industry. She is organized. She is flexible. She is well connected and respected in the field. She is the best. We give her 5 stars.

ppy. She clearly spent time getting to know us and our vision for the wedding- every time she made a vendor recommendation we loved it/them! I wish she had been a bit more responsive via email in the months leading up to our wedding, but when it came to the last 8 weeks, we had regular emails, scheduled phone call meetings, and it was clear she was in her element- making sure everything would go perfectly on the wedding day. We absolutely LOVED our wedding day and all of the vendors recommended to us by Paula and her fabulous staff, definitely schedule a phone call with Paula to see if you're a fit.

fore we hired Paula but we felt secure in all of our decisions because Paula was always honest about whom you could count on for what. Would the band overwhelm our 130-person wedding (‘absolutely not”); would the photographer be worth the money (“1000%”)? All true. By the time late fall rolled around, all of our vendors were secured and three months out Paula (and Isabelle) kicked into high gear. Every meeting was a run-through of the big day, but the goal was never to put pressure on us; it was more to firm up the design of the day, put a handful of priority items on our to-do list, and move on. I never felt I had to keep the whole project, or the big picture, in my head. That was in Paula’s job and in her head. And little by little things just got done. As amazing as all this was, I can’t say enough about Paula’s “day of” handling of the wedding -- her quiet command of every detail, her spectacular, loving care for my daughter, her thoughtfulness about my elderly mother-in-law, her sensitive family management skills, her astonishing energy level from morning to night. She seemed to be everywhere at once – but she was QUIETLY ubiquitous. The only bad part? Saying good-bye at the end. A number of my friends were surprised that I hired a wedding planner. I’m very organized and can-do. But it was the best investment we made. It took the burden out of the work. It allowed me and my daughter to have fun together. So it wasn’t just the wedding that was amazing – and it truly was a beautiful, magical wedding – but the lead-up to it was actually also wonderful. It doesn’t get better than that.

s the mother of a very busy bride, I was overwhelmed initially with all of the details involved with hosting a wedding at Elm Bank in Wellesley. While the venue itself is stunning, hosting an event there means contracting with outside vendors for every aspect of the affair. How lucky we were that the event manager suggested we contact Paula. She had coordinated many events at this venue in the past, and we were told she'd be perfect to help with my daughter's wedding. From the first meeting we saw that Paula knew every detail that had to be considered, and she was thorough in gathering information from the bride and groom to understand their vision of the event. Every vendor she recommended was a great fit- professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with-in fact, it was necessary only to visit with the first vendor in each category to make our selection. As the wedding day approached, Paula was methodical in our weekly phone conferences, going through a timeline which involved every aspect of the event from the day before to the day after the wedding. Speaking with other mothers who bemoaned all the details, schedule mishaps, etc, I found myself frequently silently thanking Paula for her guidance. The end result of her hard work was a "magical" wedding (as noted by many of the guests), with fantastic coordination of the transportation, entertainers, caterers, florist, etc to make the bride and groom's vision come true. And, equally important, the bride and her mother (Type A+ people who at times were impatient with slight delays in returned emails), were absolutely calm and thoroughly enjoyed the event, while our event planner, and truly our cherished friend now, saw to it that the affair was simply perfect.

oughout the planning process. Her ability to make the entire bridal party feel so comfortable and informed is her innate gift. My new husband is particularly thankful that transportation was taken care of and logistics ran smoothly. We truly cannot thank Marrero Events, particularly Paula, Isabelle,& Cindy enough! Take it from a bride..I did not stress about one.thing. on my wedding day...work with Marrero Events!

that made it spectacular (we were literally wowed walking into the tent), and handled all the details of wrangling different vendors. Day-of, I was fully at peace knowing that everything would be covered, and she shielded me from all the last minute hassles (of which I'm sure there are always some). Most importantly, she was constantly a pleasure to work with and we were thrilled to have her there with us at the wedding.

y daughter and I were new to wedding planning, and initially I was overwhelmed by the idea of throwing a very expensive 5 hour party that only a handful of people would even appreciate. But over time I came to view it as a year-long family project that brought a lot of fun and laughs and togetherness, and culminated in the perfect dream wedding for my daughter. Paula and Courtney played a big role in that transformation and we will be forever grateful! I would highly recommend them! The day of the wedding, we were all able to fully enjoy every moment, knowing that everything behind the scenes was totally under control. In spite of the fact that the wedding was at a major Boston hotel that included an on-site wedding planner, Paula and Courtney were the ones who made the day perfect. Definitely the best investment we made!

- from the outset to the dirty details. Our wedding, held at the Liberty Hotel in Boston, would not have been the fabulous affair it was if it were not for Paula. She really knows her craft, and helped us facilitate many of the details we would not have even considered on our own. We cannot rave enough about Paula! Practically all of our guests have said our wedding was the best they'd ever experienced, and many have added that Paula was our best investment - and we clearly agree! If you are still seeking a planner of any sort for your event, look no further than Marrero Events!

siness and everyone in it! Definitely recommend Marrero for your wedding if you are looking for a veteran who will help you out on all fronts!

behind the curve I was in planning what I'm told should be a dream day. My father recommended hiring a wedding coordinator and I figured why not at least check it out? It was like Paula and her team knew what we would want before we did but - and this is key - she never said as much. Paula may have opinions about what is best - and she'll share them and make recommendations - but in the end she is very respectful that all decisions are ultimately the couple's to make. She also has amazing contacts and I highly recommend you rely on her expertise when it comes to vendor selection. We gave Paula our overall budget and, in listening closely to what was important to us, she chose vendors who fell within our budget. One example of this is that I was OBSESSED with talking about the flowers and the feel of the wedding. For whatever reason the flowers were how I was able to express how I envisioned the wedding day to be. She therefore allotted a good portion of the budget towards floral design. She also listened to the fact that, for me, discussing lighting options (uplighting, downlighting, mood lighting) made me want to fall sleep. So she just handled it for us. She talked with the DJ and that was that. We never had to think about it. But come wedding day I had the minimum amount of uplighting to create the maximum classy, candlelit feeling she knew I would want. If your on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, just do it. Whatever money you spend you will save in aggravation and second-guessing. Consider it a present to you and your future spouse so that you can just focus on being happy and loving each other while Paula and her wonderful team handle the irritating, stressful, boring, and/or sensitive details.

n you're planning a potentially stressful event, is indepensible. Paula and her team are A-Game professionals that know their way around every planning question. And her integrity as a business person was the backbone to our event.

th MWE, we immediately felt at ease and knew the team would take care of us. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding both Paula and Courtney, as well as the team of day of coordinators, went above and beyond, answering emails and returning phone calls around the clock, helping us to negotiate the best vendor prices, even securing last minute venue decorations/furniture for our event. The team is hard-working, honest, supportive and true wedding veterans/pros in every aspect. I was able to sleep peacefully at night (well most nights!) knowing they were in charge, and it all paid off the weekend of our wedding. They coordinated the rehearsal, day of schedule, and entire wedding night events. Not one thing ran off course and we wouldn't have been able to do it without their guidance and expertise. Aside from how amazing they are at their jobs, they bring a client-first attitude and approach to their events and kept me and my mom smiling and laughing throughout some stressful days and weeks. I was able to sit back, relax and ENJOY the happiest day of my life because MWE was seamlessly handling all of the little and big details. The price we paid was easily worth it's weight in gold and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Paula and Courtney are not only consummate professionals, but wonderful people, a really dynamic duo who get the job done. We are so happy to have met them and have already referred them to other engaged friends of ours. Thank you MWE!!! You are THE best!

ideration our budgets (of course) when recommending vendors, but also our personalities. For example, my husband is generally shy and hates having his photo taken. Courtney made sure to recommend someone who offered everything we wanted and who was also that very calm and unobtrusive to fit my husband's dislike of pictures. When I first met with her recommended florist, the florist began to almost read my mind when I described what I wanted. She tracked down every single detail, and made sure that everything seemed to appear on time like clockwork. Keep in mind on this front, that Courtney worked with my husband to plan our rehearsal dinner and rehearsal dinner vendors at no additional charge to the wedding planning package we purchased. For the day of my wedding, it was literally like Disney magic. Everywhere I went, everyone I talked to, flowers magically appeared, vendors arrived and went and I didn't need to know about anything that happened. I had someone fall sick during my wedding, someone fall down stairs at my wedding and I never had to know. Courtney magic'd it away. She also made sure that every piece of the wedding timeline was like clockwork. When that crazy aunt latched on to me and toasts had to happen soon, Courtney appeared from nowhere, managed that aunt everybody has and I was able to escape to do what I needed to do :) My brother said that watching Courtney manage people sternly but politely was like watching a star running back weave through defense to the end line. Long story short, I didn't have to do anything but enjoy my day! And let's be real, that's all a girl wants on her wedding day. Lastly, it's really important to note those intangible things that Courtney brought to the process. She navigated difficult family situations, and helped advise me on what to do. I was the first person I knew to get married, and Courtney really helped coach me through the process. And most of all, she encouraged me to sit down and think about myself. You'll find that can be really difficult during the wedding planning process, but she really made sure that when I looked back on my wedding day I saw all the little pops of my own personality she encouraged me to incorporate. She really challenged me to be thoughtful about my big day, and I appreciate that most of all! All in all, if you are looking to hire Courtney or Paula for your event, I really can't say enough great things about them and their team. Absolutely the best choice I made in my wedding planning process!

stress, and helped us find budget friendly vendors. She helped us get creative an worked with us on our "out of the box" ideas to give out wedding a unique and personal feel. I loved Paula's personality. She had our best interest first and foremost in her mind. This can easily get lost when there are so many opinions about how the wedding should be. I felt protected from that by Paula. We REALLY miss her!!!! I would give her 10000 starts if I could. There is nothing I would change about how she managed our event and she was the BEST decision we made after we decided to get married :). Thank you Paula!!! xoxo Natalie and James

the bride and groom, our guests, and us. They not only made the event seamless, they were a pleasure to work with - always available, responsive, and reassuring. They “managed” us very well and made us laugh. As critical as the planning was, Courtney’s assistance on the wedding day itself made all the difference. Her orchestration of the events and management of vendors made the day easy and enjoyable for all of us. Importantly, she stayed until the end of the event. As a result, the ending was as smooth and easy as the day itself. Paula’s and Courtney’s personal and professional integrity is of the highest order and we welcome the opportunity to use their services again. We recommend Marrero Events in the strongest possible terms.

lute best in the business! She took my ideas of what I wanted and brought them to life ten times over. I honestly can say that without Marrerro Events my wedding would have been a disaster. Paula swooped right in and took over making sure that everything was just as perfect as I envisioned. She worked directly with my vendors getting everyone was on the same page. She handled every detail from ordering my escort card holders to even taking my husbands coat to get dry cleaned (I know right!). I immediately felt at ease with her and her team. She was extremely responsive to my million emails and ideas and gave me her honest opinion on them which I was extremely appreciative of. When disaster struck the night before my wedding a sprinkler pipe burst at my home she let me have a mini melt down but kept me excited for the day ahead reminding me it only happens once. She took care of more then I could have possibly imagined. I do not only see Paula as an amazing planner but now a friend because even thought my wedding has passed she has continued to stay in touch. This dynamic team is a must have for your wedding day. Her cost is a steal in comparison to other wedding event planners and your money goes a lot further than you would ever hope. Paula has a hardworking get things done attitude along with her amazing ideas and style makes her the perfect choice in such a large industry. I cannot wait to continue seeing the amazing events that she produces over the years. We love Marrerro Events so much that my sister will be using her as well for her 2015 wedding from the start. She brings experience, knowledge, and excitement to every one of her events!

iently. For example, she got the flowers for the wedding party from the florist to both the bridesmaids at the hotel and the groomsmen, some at their houses, some met her at the venue. And we did not have to worry about any of that - you WANT to have someone handle that and the other thousand details so you don't have to. Courtney was fun to work with and a pleasure to be around. You want to like the person who is helping you with all the details on your wedding day, and she's not only a great person but organized and effective.

in all her contacts and was able to get everything re-planned for us. We started over completely, new vendors, new location, new invitations, the only things that didn't change for us were the bride and groom and the church, I would have lot my mind if it weren't for Paula and how calm she was and how organized. I would recommend her to any bride without question in an instant.

and on time particularly with Nigerians who are known to be late to everything. I am so glad we hired her because she made our day exactly how I envisioned it and more. I really miss our scheduled Thursday calls to go over everything now that the wedding is over. I can't wait to have another reason to hire her so we can plan something just as beautiful as our wedding.

y fit what I was looking for. She was a wonderful resource for my parents as well throughout the process - they probably called her more often than they called me in the weeks leading up to the wedding! The wedding itself couldn't have been more magical - Paula was so organized; the only thing I had to think about during the day was enjoying the time with friends & family. Multiple guests mentioned what an amazing job Paula and her team were doing with keeping things moving smoothly. I'm positive that I wouldn't have had the same wedding without Paula - working with her was absolutely worth the investment!

ny questions about things I hadn't even thought about! She was very clear about what had to be done, and what things I didn't need to stress about, kept me on a schedule, and made the whole planning process (not to mention the day of!) a real pleasure. Paula really listened to what we wanted for our wedding day and suggested vendors that fit what we wanted. I cannot say enough good things about this experience!

nned our wedding day for over a year... And it was PERFECT. The Review: Paula Marrero, of Marrero Weddings and Events, was our wedding coordinator. While we knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding, Paula made our dream a reality. She made informed vendor recommendations... She stood in my corner during stressful times... She was an amazing liaison between vendors... She worked tirelessly to return each and every phone call and email that we sent (not a small task!)... She answered all of our questions... She sourced unique items that I could not find anywhere... The list goes on and on. The best part? On our wedding day, we knew we had nothing to worry about because Paula saw to EVERY detail. Paula Marrero understands the art of dealing with people. She was tough when she needed to be and gentle when she needed to be. She works hard for her couples and is exactly the kind of person that you want to represent your family. Bottom line: The memory of our wedding day is truly a gift and we have heard the same thing from other family members and friends that attended. It was a magical and unforgettable evening and we couldn't have done it without Marrero Weddings and Events. Hire Paula Marrero for a day, a week, or a year. You won't be sorry! Paula, thank you for everything. You are family now too. xo T and E

iented, and OCD about checking things off my list and doing them the right way, so her patience was especially appreciated! The best part was that Paula never made me feel like I was a nuisance! She always had such complimentary and reassuring things to say. Then, as the months progressed, Paula and her team (Karla Cassidy in particular) helped make my vision become a reality. We had our reception at the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter, which is basically a blank slate, so there was a lot of work to be done, bringing in the right furniture, decor elements, florals, etc. to make it just right. And it was - truly - the perfect event. It all came together in such a magical way (the magic being Paula and Karla! doing all of their behind-the-scenes work!)! I would absolutely, hands down, recommend Marrero Weddings & Events, whether you need help with everything from start to finish, or just a few details. Having Paula's insights, guidance, and connections to vendors was incredibly helpful, and helped make the 13 months of planning far more enjoyable, and far less stressful!!

xpertise and calming influence. On the day of, Paula handled everything and we didn't even notice (or have to worry about) any of the logistical things going on behind the scenes. Everything about the wedding was beautiful and just what we wanted, thanks to Paula.

e wedding every step of the way, recommending excellent vendors, taking us to a fantastic shop with all mother of the bride dresses + letting us know when key decisions needed to be made along the way. We were able to fully enjoy the day of the wedding, knowing that Paula would let us know where we had to be at different times, + that she would take care of all the "behind the scenes" details. I 100 % recommend Paula Marrero as a wonderful wedding planner.

ious family factions, each of which had their own idea of what our wedding should be. She recognized early on what kind of role I wanted to have in the process and adjusted her input accordingly. Day of, she kept people calm and was very helpful. I don't have anything more specific to say about the wedding itself because she did her job so well that I didn't see a lot of her--I was too busy enjoying my wedding, which is exactly why you hire a wedding planner.

rs in each service area to find the right fit, but we still wanted to find the best vendors. After meeting another wedding planner and receiving a poorly crafted proposal and not much attention, we reached out for help by contacting many wedding planners in the Boston area who had stellar reviews. Paula was the first to respond to our cry for help and she was on the same page with us from the first minute we started talking. Throughout the planning process, we appreciated Paula's work, effort and attention because we had something to compare it to. Paula knows so many vendors in the Boston/New England area and has long-standing relationships with many of them. Her experience planning weddings and her experience working with many vendors made everything run smoothly on our big day. Paula handles all the messy and stressful stuff about planning the wedding so that her clients only have to worry about showing up for wine, dinner and cake tastings. She does everything to relieve stress for her couples and she takes a lot of pride in that. She is so passionate about what she does and it will show through in the smiles you wear in your wedding photos for years to come. Honestly, we miss her now that our wedding is over. Best decision we ever made!

No matter what we asked, she made it happen. She helped us choose vendors (all of whom are stars in their own fields), kept us on track and kept me calm. Our wedding day was pure perfection. I never had a worry about any aspect of the day; it was magical. All I can say to Paula (and her assistant Caitlyn) is thank you. I was at a point in life where a wedding was the last thing I planned on. You gave me a gift I will remember forever.

g that may have gone awry during the process, she let me know, but had it all taken care of ASAP. She get's involed and get's to know you and your personality to make your day one you absolutely will not forget!!! I would honestly recommend her to any new bride who plans on hiring a wedding planner, and even if you're not, I'd still look into Marrero weddings and events you just might find yourself hiring her! Not only can she make your wedding day SPECTACULAR..........she can make ANY event you're planning one that nobody could top!!!

nd finding good, professional and reliable vendors is no easy task. Using a professional service such as Marrero Events is an invaluable asset. Paula Marrero with Marrero events is a master when it comes to weddings. I couldn't imagine planning out wedding without her help. She was incredibly professional and gave really great practical advice which was exactly what we needed. Working with Paula is like working with a friend, so important when planning such an important event. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

a guest at her wedding -- I didn't want to think of a thing. She promised me that would happen and boy was she ever right! We CONSTANTLY kept going over the wedding day timeline and by the time the day game we were all "on board" and comfortable with what was going to happen. We made some last minute changes and additions and not only did she make it happen she got us the best prices. She is very easy to work with and is in constant contact with you. The worst part is when the wedding is over you have to say goodbye.

paring a beautiful day for you to remember for a lifetime. Two thumbs up from me!

y knows everything! She makes sure every detail is taken care of ahead of time, she has an answer to every question, a "plan B" for every issue that might come up, and most importantly the non-stop energy and excitement to go with it. She's really amazing at what she does and I recommend her highly. She is very easy to get along with, but also isnt afraid to get tough with vendors if necessary. Her prices were incredibly reasonable considering all the hard work and dedication she puts behind her work.
