Marriage and Mimosas

Sam was a lifesaver throughout our entire wedding planning process! She immediately made us feel at ease about everything and she understood our vision and hopes and dreams for the day and we completely trusted her to execute that vision. She made us feel excited about planning at every stage of the process! Sam had a lot of great ideas for our wedding which we would have never thought of ourselves and she was also great at helping us make decisions, often knowing what we wanted sometimes before we even did. Her and her team (Paige and Beckie) were wonderful to work with and they made a process which can sometimes be overwhelming, one that was fun and not stressful at all. We would recommend Sam 100000% to anyone who is wedding planning and we would love to work with her again!

I had an amazing experience working with Sam for my June wedding. Sam has an incredible eye for style and design. So many people told me how beautiful they thought the wedding was! I had such a great time working with her throughout the whole process. I booked her as a partial planner right after I had booked my venue, so she was with me practically from the beginning. Her recommendations for vendors were excellent, and I truly felt like she totally understood my vision for the wedding. I was a bit of a non-traditional DC bride, and Sam was ready to role with that. Loved my wedding and loved her!

Sam was an incredible planner! She was our month out coordinator, but truly her services extended months before the wedding, and she’s even been supportive with closing questions after. Her and her team provide white glove service, accommodating any and every request, and ensuring that the bride and groom feel taken care of and prioritized every step of the way. She can tackle any challenge, and remains calm and focused under pressure. There is truly nothing Sam can’t do. She’s highly communicative, skilled, and has a deep knowledge of the industry with a wide network of vendor contacts, which she freely connects you to along the way. She’s highly organized, and provides very valuable structure and guidance throughout the wedding planning process. We can’t rave enough about Sam and her team!

Sam, Paige, and the whole team were instrumental in creating the wedding weekend of our dreams. We envisioned a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, and reception on two different private estates, which required essentially building two outdoor venues from the ground up. When the wedding weekend rolled around, it unseasonably rained both nights—but they were unfazed. My husband and I could relax and enjoy every moment worry-free as they handled all the curveballs. The weekend was a smashing success and we owe it all to the Marriage & Mimosas team!

Where to begin. Thank you to Sam, Paige and the full marriage and mimosas team! I’m a type A person at heart and Sam and Paige definitely had to deal with me in those aspects - but they handled me with such grace and patience, they made my wedding day so perfect! There are so many favorite points that this review could go on for pages but I’ll name my top three! 1. I’ll start with the best surprise ever! I wasn’t thinking much else to happen before the wedding and only doing the parents and bride groom first looks. After all that was done, Sam goes “okay we are going to hop in the car.” My photographer, Sam and Paige at marriage and mimosas SURPRISED us and took us around (very quickly making good time) between the monuments!!! We have the most amazing photos because of them and I am so grateful for making the surprise happen for us!!!! 2. I really liked the idea of having a QR code on my invites and all the RSVPing process done online. While this was my vision I had no idea how to put it together or where to turn to make it happen. Marriage and Mimosas had it all - from getting the QR code to setting up the RSVPing online through our website. 3. I had a vision for the flowers but my vision was out of my realistic price range. Sam helped not only obtain original proposals but then worked with the florist of my choosing to still make my vision possible even though it was my choice to downsize the flowers for the sake of the budget. I am beyond happy with how the amazing it all looked!!! Again can’t say thank you enough for making my wedding day just 100% perfect. Would recommend to anyone!

Anne is the best wedding planner I have had the pleasure of working with. I have worked beside her for countless weddings as a beauty service provider. She is the epitome of detail oriented and has amazing relationships with all of her vendors. Her creativity and meticulous nature creates a one of kind experience for all of her brides. She is extremely responsive and a proactive problem solver as well. When hiring Anne, you can rest assured that your wedding day will be organized, stress-free, and the most memorable day of your life!

Highly recommend working with Sam and the Marriage & Mimosas team! Sam provided us with amazing vendor recommendations and was extremely responsive to communications from me, my husband and my mom (sometimes all at once!). She went out of her way to help us add personal touches to the wedding and she and her team were indispensable on the day of. They went above and beyond to make everything perfect!

Sam and her team were absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire planning process, we had full confidence in Sam's ability to ensure everything that needed to get done actually got done - and at an extremely high quality. We had such a relaxing wedding planning experience and such a wonderfully memorable wedding day - and it's largely because of Sam. Highly, highly recommend.

There are no words to describe how much Sam means to us. Sam goes far beyond the description of a wedding planner- she is a friend, therapist, crisis manager, comedian and above all else makes each and every one of your dreams come true. Sam takes the time to get to know you better than you know yourself. She is there every step of the way to make your wedding even more magical than you would think is possible. Sam was highly organized, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire planning and execution process.She was always so calm, prepared and happy that there was never a second or moment of stress or anxiety felt in wedding planning journey or the wedding day itself. It is hard to imagine life before knowing Sam- I wish I was kidding when I said we are already planning a vow renewal just so we can work with her again. We cannot recommend Sam enough- working with her was an honor and a joy that we wish every newly engaged couple can experience! We hope she does this forever so she can plan our children's weddings one day!

Sam and her team were without a doubt the best decision and investment my husband and I made for the wedding planning process. Extremely professional, super responsive (by text AND email), and knows exactly which vendors to use to fit the aesthetic you’re looking for. On the day of, she took care of things I didn’t even know I needed which made everything run SO smoothly and stress free. Would 10/10 recommend

Sam and her team were absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with a friend who genuinely wanted to understand how they could help me out. When we had an issue with the catering company we originally contracted with, Sam went above and beyond to help us talk through options and find a replacement at the last minute. For a year, Sam was easily contactable and extremely responsive, and never once did I feel like a question was too small. Everything on the wedding day flowed smoothly with her and her team, even going outside their job jars and helping deliver food to our guests when catering was running slow. I cannot recommend Marriage and Mimosas enough, they made the entire wedding planning process so much easier!

Sam and Sarah saved my cousins wedding within 48 hours. They got them a new venue and made everything work absolutely perfectly. I am in the industry, I do day of coordinating and I’m in management at a high end wedding venue. I had a problem with the bartender (supplied from the catering company) they spoke to the head cater and got my drinks for the rest of the night. I’m so beyond grateful for them. I’ve never been treated so terribly at a wedding but these ladies saved the day. From one coordinator to another, truly amazing job. Hats off to you and your team ladies.

How to even describe what Sam and her team were able to pull off! For context Sam was not only the Planner but a very active bridesmaid in the wedding. For anyone who’s been a bridesmaid you can imagine just how crazy that would be. Her and her team were not only on top of every detail but they were dressed to perfection! From start to finish the weekend was well curated, detail oriented, and personal. It was such a pleasure being a guest at such a well planned and fun event. Highly recommend!!

What a great experience we had working with Samantha and her team! Everything is about FLOW, and she made it happen. Pairing that with MUSIC makes everything burst with joy! Great jb, Marriage and Mimosas, let's do it again soon!

Samantha and her team did an incredible job coordinating all of the day-of and month-of tasks for our wedding. They showed up in matching country club attire, looking so professional, had communication between one another all throughout the day, followed me (the bride) around in extreme heat to hold my dress and veil, bouquet, feed me water, and make sure I was where I was supposed to be. The wedding happened on time and even the hiccups, like thunderstorm during the ceremony and family photos being really stressful -- Sam and her team handled with style and grace. Thank you so much for making our special day perfect!

Sam and her team at Marriage and Mimosas are truly incredible. If I could pick only one vendor to rebook with, it would be them. From the very beginning, Sam was highly communicative, focused on the details, and genuinely invested in making our wedding a truly beautiful event. We had a destination wedding which comes with its own challenges, and Marriage and Mimosas never missed a step. On the day of, her team was on top of every single detail. They handled any issues with grace and efficiency, and I didn’t have to lift a finger. Sam’s creative vision and professional mastery of her craft ensured that my husband and I had the perfect celebration. Wholly recommend.

Using the full service wedding planning from Marriage and Mimosas was the best decision we made for our wedding. I can’t recommend Sam and her team enough. They are INCREDIBLE! They were everything you would want in someone to help plan and execute your wedding: organized, detail oriented, dependable, creative, and an excellent problem solver. Sam was involved in every step of our planning from working through our budget, creating mood boards for our vision and finding the best vendors that fit our budget and style. She made the planning stress free and seamless. Sam and team goes above and beyond what you would expect - always available for answer questions and calm my late night anxiety about a decision, literally coming with me to my hair/makeup trail because I am SO bad at knowing this stuff, giving me ideas / opinions on my wedding dress and other outfits and constantly reassuring me that the day was going to be incredible (which it was)!!! Vendor Search / Selection Process - Finding vendors can be so overwhelming - who is good, dependable, available and in our price range? Sam made finding vendors so easy. She would understand the vibe we were looking for, find vendors available, pricing and often insta/website and send over in an email. It can be so hard to keep track of vendors, their responses, etc. Their initial vetting and option set made it so easy to make our decisions and feel confident. Design - I would send Sam different instagrams and pictures and she was able to take my jumbled ideas and turn it into a stunning ceremony and reception. She brought our vision to life in a way that far exceeded our expectations. Sam and team knew where to invest to make our wedding stunning and personalized and other areas where we could save money. This meant so much to us and the design of the wedding blew us and our guests away. Day of - When it came to the wedding day, every single detail was perfectly executed thanks to Sam and her team. They took cake of everything so I had zero stress. There are three examples that really exemplify M+M’s commitment to their clients: First, the day before the wedding we found out the ice cream machine (our sole dessert) was broken. Before worrying me, Sam worked with our venue to find a solution that was even better than the original. Second, I was being very annoying about wanting greenery background (while getting married in the city). Sam scoped out the most magical spot to do pictures and piled us all into her car and drove us there. Third, when the bridesmaid bouquets were slightly different than I had wanted, Sam instantly ran up to my room and made them AMAZING. I was in awe at how she so quickly fixed them. There is no one else you want to ensure your wedding is the best day and your vision is brought to your life. I could go on forever about all of the reasons to hire M+M, but overall I promise it will be the best decision of your wedding!

My husband and I decided on using Marriage and Mimomsas after attending my brothers wedding which was stunning and executed perfectly. We used their full planning services, so Sam and her team were with us every step of the wedding planning process. From initial budgeting and contract negotiation, to bustling my dress on our wedding day, we couldn't imagine having gone through the wedding planning process with our the help of Sam and her team. They made it seamless, stress free, and we cant stop reliving/watching our wedding day, we are over the moon with how everything turned out and our guests also can't stop saying enough kind words. Sam and her team go above and beyond to understand your budget, vision, and personal taste to deliver a beautiful wedding. Sam helped guide us but also ensured we put our own personal touches on the wedding to make it feel unique to our own style. I can't even begin to express our gratitude to Sam, quickly responding to our late night calls and texts and always being available no matter the time or day. Anytime we had a worry or concern, Sam was quick to put us at ease. She is a professional in the business, knows what she is doing, and has a great relationship with all the local vendors. She has access to vendors and small businesses we would have never found on our own, and was also extremely open if we did find a vendor we were interested in using. Safe to say, it would have been a completely different experience without Marriage and Mimosas planning, designing, and executing our event. We are so grateful for you and you team Sam and we will be recommending you to all of our friends and family!!! Thank you!!!

Samantha was such a valuable part of our wedding!! We unfortunately lost our venue due to it closing about 3 months before the wedding, Samantha helped us easily transition to a new space and we basically had to replan a whole wedding in 3 months. Insane!! Forever thankful we had Sam to help us through it. Her team was fantastic on the wedding day as well. I would highly recommend Marriage and Mimosas to anyone planning a wedding!

There are no words that can express how amazing it is to work with Samantha and her team at Marriage and Mimosas, but 5 stars are just not enough. Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life and without M&M, mine would never have happened. After realizing there was no way my husband and I could do this on our own, we hired M&M and never looked back. When I met Sam for the first time, I knew there was no one else for the job. I instantly felt like I was just working with my best friend and she truly became my hype girl through picking my dress, my look, and it all. The team is so professional, sweet, welcoming, and are truly there to make sure you are able to have the day of your dreams. M&M always has your vision in mind, but has such an incredible way of elevating everything. At the end of the day, your vision transforms into so much more than you ever imaged. The attention to detail and creativity is unmatched. Sam and her team are with you every step of the way, always make you feel heard, included, and involved with some of the best communication I’ve ever experienced. M&M is constantly one step ahead and I promise they’ve already figured out everything you could possibly worry about before you can worry; which also includes making sure you aren’t stressed throughout the process. The relationships M&M has with different vendors makes it easy to build the best team and really trust that they are the right choice for your event (and a good fit for your personalities). We are truly blown away with how our wedding turned out and it’s been something that everyone cannot stop talking about. We are reliving and remembering all of the sweet details and amazing moments that were only able to happen through the hard work and help from Samantha + M&M. Aside from marrying my husband, working with Sam was the best decision we made to kick start our forever. We will be forever grateful to have worked with M&M and will remember our wedding for a lifetime.

One year ago, Samantha (Marriage And Mimosas) started to help plan our wedding, and I am so grateful that I hired them. From start to finish, Samantha was professional, organized, attention to details and a true pleasure to work with. One of the things that stood out to me about Samantha and everyone helping was her communication. she always responded to my emails, calls, txt messages promptly, and she was always happy to answer any questions I had no matter how small or silly they were. she also kept me updated throughout the planning process, which really put my mind at ease. In addition to their excellent communication skills, Samantha also had a great eye for detail. she helped me come up with a vision for our wedding that was exactly what we wanted, and she made sure that every detail was taken care of. From the flowers to the table settings, color of name cards, to the shape of the wine glasses, the list goes on everything looked beautiful on the day of the wedding. It was one of the greatest days of my life, and it could not have been any smoother and it’s all because of Samantha. Overall, I Highly recommend Marriage and Mimosas beyond anyone else. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is professional, organized, and easy to work with, Samantha is definitely the way to go. Thank you so much for helping make my wedding day truly special! AA & BT

Sam and her team were amazing to work with!! I truly could not have planned my wedding without her. She made the process so easy and stress-free! She knew exactly the right vendors I would like, she executed the vision and vibe I wanted perfectly, and everything she presented to me was spot on. The day-of was flawless and everything was so gorgeously put together. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for her support and highly recommend Marriage and Mimosas!

I highly recommend Marriage & Mimosas! I am a wedding and event photographer who has had the pleasure of photographing several weddings and events planned by Marriage & Mimosas. When I arrive to a M&M event, I know it’s a given that I’ll be working with a first rate, professional, kind team. But what makes Marriage & Mimosas truly special is their impeccable taste in event design. Their events are beautiful, tasteful, and stylish, making them a joy to photograph. Furthermore, Marriage & Mimosas understands how to craft an amazing ambience and experience for both guests and the wedding couple. For both large and small events, Marriage & Mimosas has a knack for understanding the taste of their clients to design an event that feels bespoke. I highly recommend Marriage & Mimosas if you want to plan a wedding that wows!

Marriage and Mimosas took all the wedding planning stress away from start to finish! She is extremely passionate and talented. Always communicates efficiently. My wedding was absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Sam made my entire wedding planning journey amazing. Working with Samantha was the best decision ever I was able to focus on being a bride while her and her team she did the rest effortlessly.

I’ve been lucky to work with Sam and her team a bunch of times over the years, and she is incredible at what she does! She is such an expert when it comes to both planning and design, and builds such a fun relationship with her couples throughout the process! On a wedding day, she is right by the couple’s side to literally wipe tears, help get into a dress, and everything in-between. I could not recommend her more!!!

Marriage & Mimosas helps to make your wedding planning stress free. Samantha is creative and extremely professional. Great experience!

Sam and her team were the absolute best. Top notch service every step of the way. She helped us with every detail big and small. We texted back and forth fun ideas and inspiration we had throughout the wedding planning process and we always felt supported. We had several in person meetings as well which were super fun and helpful. Sam brought our vision to life!! Couldn’t of had our dream wedding without Marriage and Mimosas!

The team at Marriage and Mimosas is in a league of their own! Samantha helped style my unique vision in a way that remains timeless and elegant. Samantha was always available via phone, text, or email and gave me her honest opinion when and where it mattered most. She knew exactly which vendors to call on to complete the vision. I always hear how stressed out other brides are in the planning process, but because of M&M, I didn’t want the it to end!

I cannot give Sam enough props. She was more than you could ever ask for. She made every single part of this process incredible. Stress free, mom whisperer, and made everything 100 times more amazing than I ever imagined. Also she knows exactly what to say to calm ya down but yet solve every potential issue ever. 100/10 recommend.

Marriage and Mimosas is simply the best! The teams vision, attentional to detail, and overall experience was unmatched. You can truly tell they love what they do. We opted for full service planning and I am so glad we did! Sam matched us with vendors that not only fit our budget, but they totally understood the vision! On the wedding day, the team was was totally calming and had my back 100% paying attention to my hair in photos - even fixing my dress bc I ran through the mud! The team stayed late making sure everything was put away properly and that the venue was happy. There were so many behind the scene planning things that I literally couldn’t have done it alone. Hiring the Marriage and Mimosas team is the best wedding present you can give yourself. Xoxoxox I cannot thank you enough!

There are not enough stars to properly rate Marriage and Mimosas! My daughter's wedding was absolutely amazing, and I give all the credit to Sam and her team. Planning a wedding can be stressful, and Sam brought such calm and peace to the entire process. I can honestly tell you that I had zero worries on the day of the wedding. Sam had everything under control, and she kept everything running efficiently. If there were any blips, I didn't know about them and no one else did either. Sam's guidance throughout the entire process was invaluable, and her taste is impeccable. You can trust her completely! She is also able to work within your budget, and the vendors she recommended were equally amazing. We couldn't have done this without her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

Sammy is THE BEST wedding planner a couple could ask for. Her and her team were in constant contact with us every step in the planning process and made everything so easy. Sammy has amazing attention to detail and taste, and took my very scattered Pinterest vision board and made it a beautiful reality. She is truly amazing. In comparing Sammy to some of the planners my friends have used, she is definitely a standout and goes above and beyond to make the day exactly what you want. During the event she truly shined and made it so easy for us to just kick back and have fun. I would do it all over again as long as she was our planner

Hire them! Sam and her team are top-notch and went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend a complete success. She worked closely with me, my husband, and my mom to make sure she knew what we wanted, and she has amazing taste so we totally trusted her to come up with ideas and details where we didn't have any idea where to start. She wasn't afraid to let us know where we could save, or things we didn't need to spend the money on. Before the wedding, she helped us with invitations, our website, and countless other details. She also helped us find several of our vendors, who were all amazing. We had some welcome events on Friday, a rehearsal dinner, and then the day of the wedding. Logistically, everything went off without a hitch and we got so many compliments on all the little details she and her team put together. People had a blast, and we didn't have to worry about anything because we had complete trust in Sam and her team to make sure everything went smoothly. She also paid special attention to me (the bride) to make sure I was comfortable, drinking water, not getting too hot outside with pictures, etc. It was really nice to have someone not related to me looking out for me, and she was such a calm presence to have around during the hustle and bustle. She also had a plate of snacks and cocktails waiting for me and my new husband after the ceremony to make sure we ate before we headed to cocktail hour! Our wedding was one of the absolute best days of my life, and Sam and her team were instrumental in making it happen. Highly recommend!

Marriage and Mimosas gave us fantastic assistance in the planning and day-of management of my daughter's wedding. Sam and her staff were right there whenever we needed them. They made sure everything went smoothly, and jumped in to take care of so many details that I had not thought of. I especially appreciated how unflappable they were in making adjustments on the fly (half our reception was supposed to be outdoors and unfortunately it rained), their calmness despite being around a lot of anxious people, and their care in striking a balance between orchestrating the events of the day while staying in the background. They were awesome - they have my highest recommendation.

CANNOT RECOMMEND MARRIAGE AND MIMOSAS ENOUGH! I worked with Sam and her assistant Angie for a day of coordination for our small garden wedding. From start to finish Sam was so so wonderful and got me even more excited for my wedding day than I already was! So the fundamentals, everything was organized, planned ahead of time, thoughtfully done, and on the day of everything went super smoothly and on time. Also Angie came to my house to pick up all the items for the ceremony the evening before so I didn’t even have to think about it the day of. They met the florist at the venue, set up the flowers, chairs, runner, etc, helped me organize a party bus to and from every location, and even came up with the idea for a champagne hour post ceremony. They ran the whole shebang as soon as we walked back down the aisle the champagne was popped and flowing to guests. They also picked up my husband and I from our house that day and transported us and helped organize a first look with the photographer. Finally, Sam was there to send my dad and I off down the aisle and she timed the music PERFECTLY! I told her what point in the song I wanted to start down the aisle and when I wanted it to end and she nailed it even with us walking from a park pathway a ways from the aisle. Anyways - Sam and Angie rock and I cannot recommend enough!

Samantha and the team at Marriage and Mimosas are incredible. I planned my COVID wedding in 19 days and they were responsive, organized, detail-oriented, accommodating and so easy to get along with. The vision we came up with together was beautiful and was executed to a T. On the actual wedding day, everything ran smoothly and Samantha was by my side all day problem-solving. My family really loved her and Im so grateful to have found her!

Samantha was amazing!!! Samantha paid attention to what my husband and I wanted. She has the ability to focus on small details. Samantha was there through the entire process and ran the event wonderfully.

THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER!! Couldn't have asked for a better person to plan my wedding day with. Not only does she sit down and help you through every aspect of the planning process, she takes time and executes every vision you have for your wedding to a T. She made the day beyond perfect. Highly highly recommend!

Sam is one of the best wedding planners ever! She was so patient with me and really explained everything. Anytime I had anxiety or worries over anything she stepped in and handled it all! I highly recommend Marriage and Mimosas! You definitely won’t be disappointed!

They were VERY personable, accommodating and professional! They made sure to fulfill every request we had with no hesitation! They made our wedding absolutely STUNNING! We could not have gone with a better vendor! I highly recommend Marriage and Mimosas to anyone who is looking to have their dream wedding become a reality!

I had a very nice wedding in DC. It turned out AMAZING- Sammy was with me every step of the way! Our wedding is being published in Martha Stewart and I cannot wait! Her attention to detail was on point. I really loved that we were in constant contact so when the day came she was actually a close friend by then. Her assistant Blanqui was amazing as well. She noticed when I needed anything and brought me snacks and drinks throughout the day. 5 STARS I LOVE YOU !
