Marryment

Marryment was very involved and a pleasure to work with for month-of coordination for my wedding. Denise was my coordinator and went the extra mile to make sure that all of my concerns were addressed and to make sure that every detail was in place before the big day. Our initial meeting was earlier than one-month out which was incredibly helpful for making some final big decisions and figuring out what still needed to be done. She was very proactive in communicating with me and all of my vendors. Denise and her assistant, Amethyst, were both on top of everything on my wedding day. They checked in with me if any changes to the plan were necessary, but otherwise made sure that I did not have to worry about a single logistical detail the whole day. They were fantastic, and I would not hesitate to recommend Marryment to anyone looking for a very engaged and competent month-of coordinator!

My wedding day was 09/28/24 and Denise made our day so special. She was such a dream to be around, her work ethic, professionalism, and down to earth qualities are what make her truly exceptional. It was like having a personal best friend with me all day. If there was something that went wrong, I never would have known because she took care of everything. She was prepared for every scenario and was ready with anything I needed, whether it be a q tip for my running makeup, gum, someone to bustle my dress, she was ready. Her calming presence soothed my nerves at every turn and make the day so much more fun. I would say everyone needs a coordinator and this is the company I would recommend. I will never be able to thank Denise enough for all the hard work she put into our special day.

I don't have enough good things to say about Laura, Amethyst, and the team over at Marryment. If you do one thing to help make your wedding day go off without a hitch, hire Marryment. We hired them as our day of/month of coordinator, but their assistance started right from the get-go. Laura provided us with tools to keep track of all of the important to-dos throughout the wedding planning process. We also had meetings where Laura meticulously walked us through each aspect of our day to make sure things were running smoothly and according to plan, as well as regular attendance with our other vendor meetings to make sure everyone was on the same page. Laura and Amethyst were amazing on the big day, coordinating both sides of the wedding party, fielding all questions and requests, and taking a lot of unwanted stress off of our plates. They even helped coordinate our late night food for the hotel after party. I can't recommend Marryment enough for all of your wedding planning needs!

Denise was my wedding planner and she was amazing! She is very personable, kind, and kept me on track. She had a lot of great recommendations for vendor services. She also had a lot of great ideas for things I had never thought of like a bubble send off after the ceremony. She is quick to respond to a question or request and she was very hands on all day for the Wedding. I appreciated her professionalism and her attention to detail. I can’t say enough kind things about her, she’s just wonderful!

We are SO happy that we decided to work with Marryment for planning our wedding. We worked with Denise and there are not enough words to express how incredible she was!! She was on top of everything throughout the entire planning process as well as during the actual wedding day. I'm typically a very anxious person, but she truly made all of my worries disappear on the wedding day. Not a single thing went wrong (which I know is rare!), and I can only imagine it was due to Denise handling everything like a pro. We even had family members and friends telling us how wonderful and professional Denise was!! We also ended up adding a second set of hands - Holland - to help with decor set up (we had a ton of decor that we made ourselves). I was BLOWN AWAY with how beautiful everything looked after Denise & Holland finished setting everything up. I truly cannot stop looking at photos of the entire space - they made all of my visions come to life. They also handled all of the cleanup so seamlessly - it was amazing! My husband and I are truly forever grateful to the Marryment team. Denise was such a pleasure to work with - she is SO good at what she does, and she has the best personality too. We can't recommend this team enough!

I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without Laura – she were an absolute lifesaver leading up to and on our wedding day! From the very first planning meeting, she were organized, calm, and had every detail under control, which made the whole process so much easier and way less stressful. Whether it was helping us stay on track, managing the timeline, or just being there to answer all our questions (and there were a lot!), Laura was always on top of it. She really understood our vision and made sure everything went off without a hitch. On the big day, she was incredible. Everything ran so smoothly, and if any issues popped up, we had no clue because Laura handled it all like a pro. I could actually enjoy the day without worrying about the little things, knowing she had it covered. We got so many compliments from our guests on how seamless everything felt, and that’s 100% thanks to Laura. If you want someone who’s not only super organized but also kind, easy to work with, and totally dedicated to making your day perfect, Laura is the one to hire!

For anyone looking to host a wedding, hiring Marryment is a MUST! From my initial conversation with Laura to our emails/texts/calls with Denise, I knew we were going to be taken care of on our wedding day. Denise and her assistant Claire were the BEST! We could not have done it without their help, expertise and skill navigating through the entire day/night. It would not have been the same. A truly invaluable service! If you do anything for your wedding and for yourselves, hire the wedding coordinator!

Laura was absolutely incredible to work with. She was so professional and attentive to detail leading up to our wedding day and then day of ensured we could relax and enjoy the day as opposed to answering questions and overseeing plans. I couldn't recommend her any more highly, she was truly incredible.

We couldn’t be happier with Marryment. We worked with Denise and she went above and beyond the entire time. She ensured we were on track with the planning and all the vendors were coordinated the day of. She made us feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy our day by handing EVERYTHING. Anything that came up, she gracefully handled without making anything seem like slight concern. She also has a great personality and was a joy to be around. Even out wedding guest were in awe of how amazing she was and how well she handled everything. We cannot recommend Marryment enough!

We feel extremely lucky and blessed to be able to work with Denise & Laura. They were extremely detailed and helped us navigate our wedding day with ease. Denise made everything feel like it was a simple task and is amazing at her job!! We will be reccomending Marryment to all our friends and family! -Jarrett

I have no idea what I would have done without Laura/Marryment to help plan our wedding and make our big day go so smoothly. Laura has so much knowledge on weddings and the flow of things. She brought up questions about our wedding we didn’t even consider. She was amazing at helping us create a smooth timeline the month before our wedding. And of course, on our wedding day when things didn’t go according to plan, Laura was a great problem solver and adjusted everything for us. We didn’t have to worry about it at all. On our wedding day I didn’t worry about anything because I knew she had it all under control. Even when my mom was constantly asking “What about this…” Laura said it was handled. She perfectly executed every aspect of our wedding day. Not only was she amazing at her job, but she was down to earth and fun to be around. I can’t thank her enough!

My wedding was 6/22/24 and could not have been more perfect! I was hesitant to hire a planner at first, but am so grateful that I hired Laura as my month-of-coordinator! She handled everything effortlessly and kept me calm while she handled the chaos. For my photography meeting she insisted on being there and it turned out my HAMU trial ran late so I was late to the photo meeting, but Laura wasn't and she was my life-saver that day and on my wedding. I didn't even find out until the evening that my flowers were 1.5 hours late for the ceremony set-up. I literally wouldn't have even known except for the fact I was told after the fact. I am so thankful to Laura for answering my hundreds of emails and last minute night before emails and concerns. She was also super quick on her feet when my bourquet charm unravelled right before I was going to walk down the aisle and an extra thread on my dress needed to be snipped. She even brought a portable hand fan to keep me cool in the June heat. The day was planned out down to every detail and while she made sure of everything went smoothly she also was flexible and resourceful when family portraits went way off script and there was even a bit of a language barrier with my husband's family. Overall, she was knowlegable, positive, and absolutely lovely! I cannot imagine my wedding day being as fun, enjoyable, and perfect without Laura's help along the way. Thank you so much Laura!

Laura from Merryment deserves 6 out of 5 stars. We went with the month of coordinator package, which was perfect for our situation since we were able to complete all the wedding planning ourselves but we had Merryment to guide us in the right direction for any questions we had up to 2 months before the wedding date. Having a day-of coordinator is a must to keep things moving smoothly along. Laura of Merryment is extremely experienced, a professional, and very easy to work and communicate with. The day of, she managed to keep everything on schedule, fix rouge vendors, create last second props that were never delivered, and above all else she minimized stress to the bride whenever possible. Merryment's month of coordinator was the best value of all services booked for our wedding, and we highly recommend Laura for your upcoming wedding.

Working with Laura (& her team at Marryment) was the BEST choice we made for our wedding. We originally didn't think we'd get a day-of coordinator, but WOW we're glad we did. Guests still tell us that the day was so well organized, had a great flow, and felt easy going. That's all thanks to the time, expertise, and calming energy Laura brings. Laura answered every question in the weeks leading up to the big day, helped us plan a perfect day of itinerary, hopped on vendor calls & took over communications in the last few weeks, and even provided some coaching/training to our family member officiant. We had so many traditions and requests from the family, and she made it all work. The stress melts away when working with Marryment, and we loved that we were encouraged to keep things personalized in our own way. Plus, we never felt pushed to do anything a certain way or buy anything just because it was a wedding. Day of, Laura was such a calming, positive presence. She helped track people down, made every transition seamless, adjusted as needed, and got smiles from even the toughest personalities. We had zero stress all day, even when the bustle broke 20-30 min into open dancing, because Laura was there to save the day. Every single person that met Laura that day said they'd hire her if they were planning a wedding. Our other vendors raved about her. We cannot recommend Laura enough—it's absolutely worth making room for Marryment in your budget.

We cannot recommend Laura and her company, Marryment, highly enough! From the very beginning, Laura has been on top of everything, ensuring that our wedding planning process was smooth and stress-free. Every call, text, or email was responded to almost immediately or at least acknowledged, which made us feel incredibly supported and confident in our choice. Laura's exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire planning process. She was always proactive, offering valuable advice and solutions to any potential issues. Her dedication and commitment to making our day perfect were truly remarkable. On the wedding day, Laura was an absolute lifesaver. She ensured that everything ran on schedule and made sure we took the time to eat, which is something many couples forget to do. Even when unexpected issues arose, Laura was quick to offer solutions and handled everything with grace and efficiency, ensuring that these hiccups did not affect our special day. We are beyond thrilled with the service provided by Laura and Marryment. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for our happiness made all the difference. Choosing Laura and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect. Thank you, Laura, and the entire Marryment team, for your incredible work! We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

This lady was my SAVING GRACE during the planning and execution of my vision for our wedding! I genuinely had no idea what I was doing and was so indecisive, but Laura held my hand the whole time. I think she even learned how to read my mind and knew what I wanted before I did at times! LOL She gave me guidance, emotional support, and made it feel like she was just my big sister helping plan my wedding. There truly are no words to describe how grateful I am for her, and my only regret is that I didn't bring her onto my team at the very beginning!

Laura was absolutely AMAZING to work with! Throughout the entire process she was incredibly involved and was always positive. She really has a great template and it created our perfect wedding day. If you're looking for an individual who is meticulously thorough, intelligent, calm, adapting, kind, and fun, Laura will make sure everything runs smoothly! She worked through any adversity that came before and during the wedding, which really allowed us to be in the moment. Not only that, but she gave us the opportunity to relax and be assured everything was taken care of. We are truly thankful and are so incredibly happy we decided to work with her. We know she would do a fantastic job with any type of wedding and we hope everyone considers her as their wedding coordinator. If we had to do this all over, we would definitely choose her again!

I can not say more great things about Laura at Marryment! She made the wedding planning seamless into our big day! I could not have done it without her..she does not miss a detail -and still keeps it FUN!!! 10 stars!

She was great! Went above and beyond what her role was! She did a great job keeping everything on track and even helped glue my lashes on! She was the best!

Laura is absolutely amazing! Went above and beyond any expectations I had. She helped us get everything ready and organized for the wedding. Even directed the rehearsal and made sure everyone there understood how things would play out. I would highly recommend her :)

Laura is a true professional. From our first meeting with her, we could tell she was competent and passionate about facilitating a great wedding experience. In the month leading up to our wedding, she was invaluable, as she helped us stay organized and focused on our goal. She was incredibly reassuring to me, and very responsive/communicative. Her resources/documents were instrumental in making sure we had all of our details covered for the wedding and reception. On the day of, she kept us on schedule in a direct but helpful manner. Our party and other vendors were extremely impressed by her professionalism and competency. We could recommend her more for a Day of Coordinator. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Laura.

I pay Laura the highest compliment on the service she provided - with a smile on her face the entire time ! She executed the evening perfectly - from getting ready in the bridal room to the last dance!!! And I’m sure with 6 bridesmaids it was a challenge at times to keep everything on track! I highly recommend Marryment!

You need to book Laura!! We hired her as the month of wedding planner, and I am SO glad I did!! She is so organized, an extremely quick thinker, detail oriented, a strong voice when you need her to be, and best of all she is the nicest person you’ll ever meet! Our wedding was at Morton Arboretum. She completely handled all the vendors the month before my wedding- which is undoubtedly a MUST since that month will be the busiest month of your life. She takes down every small detail and will make sure your wedding is EXACTLY how you want it. If you want something completely untraditional, she will be completely on your side and help you plan and give ideas. I LOVE her energy and I love how easy it was to communicate with her. I definitely texted her way too much- but she even encouraged me to! She literally was a lifesaver on so many levels. The day of the wedding was just completely perfect because of her, seriously. You don’t realize how many things need to be done the day of the wedding and how many vendors or guests need direction. She handled EVERYTHING and even completely helped set up the venue! I brought a lot of decor items and she went to the venue early and set everything up! And while also doing that, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be and taking charge of everything. She stayed throughout the entire wedding until midnight, and quickly helped fix a few small problems that happened during the reception. The 2 weeks after the wedding, she even went above and beyond and handled an issue with the vendor to help try and get some money back for me, which was something she did just because she is a nice person. From day 1, Laura was just on top of everything and literally kept me sane. She is someone you NEED to be in control of your wedding and I would 100% trust her with my life. She wants your wedding to be perfect- and she is the person to get it done. My wedding was a huge success because of her, and I am eternally grateful to Laura for everything she did for us. If you’re waiting for a sign to book a wedding planner, book Laura!!

I wish I could rate Laura 10 stars. From the very first meeting with her to even after the wedding, she has been incredible. Her response time to texts and emails is top tier, her passion for what she does is obvious, and she is overall an incredibly trustworthy person to work with. This is such an important quality in a wedding planner. She also loves to support any creative ideas you have! My husband and I had a few Easter Eggs we had planned to enhance the guest experience and she was so excited to help us make sure they went well. She's very easy to talk to, and the best way I can describe her is she just radiates best friend energy. She had the most creative and easy solutions to what seemed like the biggest problems in the world to me on my day, and solved any issues in no time, like a bridesmaid being unable to attend last minute. It's almost unreal how calm her demeanor is, even when surrounded by chaos and even when thrown issue after issue. She gave me constant reassurance we were on schedule, and making great time when I seemed stressed. We just couldn't have asked for a better person to make our day flow so well.

Laura P with Marryment could not have been a better choice! She did an amazing job of communication, and planning, and stayed calm throughout, including handling several very unique and stressful details. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough! This was ABSOLUTELY the best money I spent all weekend!

My daughter was recently a flower girl for a wedding in Chicago. From the beginning, Laura was easy to get into contact with and was prompt in her responses. She was able to give me updates throughout the day when I wasn’t able to see my sweet girl and was so happy to be of service. If she was that communicative and kind with someone only associated with the flower girl, I can only imagine how absolutely outstanding she was in planning the wedding. I would highly recommend Laura.

I contacted Laura for her month-of-coordination services about a month before my big day. I saw on the Chicagoland brides group how a bride listed her as a vendor who SHE had hired about a month out, so I figured I would give it a shot. Laura is an incredible advocate, planner, fairy godmother, friend, and support. She has the perfect personality for the job. She is organized and never overbearing. She is calm and professional. I seriously cannot say enough good things about her. We had such a productive meeting a few weeks before the wedding and she helped me via phone call and email with another vendor who was being avoidant. She was happy to tag into my complex day-of schedule to pick up a task whenever there seemed like there could be a snag. She contacted all of our vendors to be a good hub for contact. She and I worked on Google Docs, which is what I was already using! Day of... she arrived at the moment my flowers came in the wrong color and I was having a moment of panic. As my florist was giving me the run around about the color "coral" (they were BRIGHT PINK) on the phone and I was about to cry my makeup off, Laura took over and got the florist to bring white spray roses to our getting ready spot to replace the incorrect ones. Within 45 mins, it was like nothing had ever happened with the flowers. It was MAGIC. Laura was our rock on a day when there were a million moving pieces. Throughout the day, she did a number of little things like handle a pizza delivery, keep guests entertained during formal family portraits so we could have a grand exit with bubbles, be the one in front talking to the cop when we left our photo permit on the trolley, keeping everyone hydrated, reception decor, and more. She was like a little fairy doing little details to keep things moving smoothly. By the middle of the day, Laura had assimilated into our "bridal party crew" and felt more like a friend than a vendor. She was everything I could ever want in a coordinator. At the end of the night, it was so hard to say goodbye and thank her for everything she did. It was one of many moments of "happy tears" I had that day. She was a godsend and worth every penny. I would recommend her to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed a month or more out from their wedding or feels like they want to delegate tasks out to be IN THE MOMENT on their special day. Thanks again, Laura.

Laura exceeded our expectations! We made a late decision to add a coordinator and in my mind it was the best decision we could have made. She allowed us to take it all in and enjoy this extremely special day! If you’re looking for a coordinator I would highly recommend Laura!

Laura is a saint! She was amazing. We hired Laura about 4 weeks before our wedding. We had all major items booked and figured out for our wedding and were debating if we even needed a day of planner… We are so glad we hired Laura and could not imagine it any other way. Morning of the wedding, she was like a fairy godmother, she would check on the Bride and girls getting ready, then head to the Groom and guys room to make sure they were all on task/getting dressed etc. Having Laura allowed us to enjoy the entire day and soak up all moments. 10/10 recommend Marryment!

From our first conversation, I knew that my daughter's and her fiance's wedding was in wonderfully capable hands with Laura of Marryment. She took great care in being certain that she understood both the overall vision they hoped for, as well as the personal details that were so important. Because of Laura the wedding day seemed to flow effortlessly, and that is truly saying a lot! Even when 70mph winds blew a window out of its track just before the ceremony, she nonchalantly held it in place while waiting for hotel maintenance to arrive. Laura is highly efficient, creative, organized, knowledgeable and a pure joy to work with!

From our very first consultation with Laura, it was evident that she not only brought expertise but would create peace of mind for me, my fiance and my mom. We realized there were so many things we didn’t even know to plan for, but Laura guided us through the decisions that would help realize our vision. Leading up to the day Laura supported us by providing personalized timelines that accomplished my number one goal of not feeling rushed on my wedding day. In addition, she shared essential vendor questions to ask during my own planning and then confirmed plans with vendors the week of the wedding. It was a surprise when our day had torrential rains and hurricane-strength winds but it never flustered her. Laura’s refrain throughout our experience was “you enjoy and I’ll take care of it” and she most definitely accomplished this. I can’t imagine my day without Laura there!

Attention to every detail and professionalism!

Marryment was absolutely AMAZING. Laura was very attentive to what we wanted on our day and made it her goal to help us achieve it. I have heard many stories about peoples wedding days not always going according to plan but truly ours did and I will always attribute that to Laura. I would recommend Marryment to everyone with complete confidence.

By the end of our wedding, all our guests were talking about Laura. She took all our ideas and helped bring them to fruition. We had zero time to feel organized, and bringing in Laura was the piece we needed to glue together all our moving parts. I would recommend Laura to ANYONE trying to figure out how to get things started, keep them organized, and put everything into action! I could not be happier with our choice.

Laura was the coordinator / day of coordinator for a wedding I photographed November 2022 at The Journeyman in Milwaukee. Laura was an integral part to the wedding day, and with her expertise, the wedding was exceptionally smooth and the couples’ vision was brought to life. A few things I noted right away: Laura was helpful, efficient, kind and well-organized. She helped keep everyone on schedule while also tackling some behind the scenes logistics with the venue. As a photographer, I spend a lot of time close to wedding guests and family members of the couple. A few times I overheard the mother of the bride appreciate how helpful Laura had been and how having her around helped take a lot of stress off family members so they could relax and enjoy the wedding. This speaks volumes. If you’re wanting to work with someone who’s passionate and cares about your wedding day as much as you do, I’d highly recommend Laura and her team.
