Marylee and her team were incredible and they played such a huge part in making our wedding a successful event. Marylee is very organized, communicates clearly and in a timely manner, and really goes above and beyond for her couples. Her leadership and decision making made for a smooth and enjoyable evening for everyone. She has amazing relationships with other vendors, so on top of being our coordinator, she also served as a great advisor and vendor liaison whenever we needed her. And on top of all of that, she is also a talented designer and florist and has a great team behind her. Do yourself a favor and book MME!

We cannot recommend Marylee and her team enough! She was helpful, responsive when we had questions and truly supported us through the entire process. She was open to changes and was so helpful with managing all vendors, especially closer to our wedding date. We so appreciate her help, support and expertise during our wedding planning process and on our wedding day. We love her and her team!

Our wedding was the perfect day and I am fully convinced that it wouldn’t have been that way without Marylee’s whole team.
They worked so hard throughout planning and the event itself. And I’m sure they did a thousand things we never even saw.
And the flowers! They were gorgeous! They matched my veil to a tee and I got so many compliments!
I could sing their praises all day, and I certainly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!
If I could go back in time, I would definitely book MME again!

Marylee and her team are AMAZING! Our wedding was at Main Street Station in Richmond, VA, and she knew every detail possible about the venue. Her florals were BEAUTIFUL, and she delivered excellent customer service throughout the planning process leading up to the wedding day. Her recommendations and expertise were much appreciated during our venue walkthrough, and she is very good at troubleshooting. She and Mackenzie were very sweet and personable to all guests and members in the wedding party, and they both made the day extremely memorable and special for me and my husband. She was always early to all events/meetings, and she always asked extremely detailed questions to make sure our dream wedding day came true. Could not recommend her and Mackenzie enough for coordinating and florals!!

I cannot recommend Marylee and her team enough! I booked Marylee for day of coordination services, and she went above and beyond my expectations. Marylee was quick to answer my thousands of questions throughout the entire planning process. She gave me honest recommendations for vendors, input on decor (and even provides certain decor rentals), and in many cases helped initiate or completely handle communications with my other wedding vendors. She also did all my florals and they were GORGEOUS. The minute we were delivered my bouquet, one of my bridesmaids immediately said they've never seen a more perfect "Treva" bouquet. She nailed it on my vision!
Rachel from Marylee's team did my day-of coordination, and I need to give an extra special shout out to her! Like Marylee, she was quick to answer all my questions in the weeks leading up to my wedding and was incredibly organized in helping fine tune all the nitty gritty details of the day's schedule. There were a couple small fires the day of that I didn't even know about until after my wedding, which I believe is the number one sign you've hired the right coordinator! If Rachel is any indication of the rest of Marylee's team, you will be in great hands with any of her planners/coordinators.

Marylee was more that we could ask for as a wedding coordinator! We planned out our meetings in advance and she was flexible with our busy schedules. She was easy to talk to and very timely with communication throughout the planning process. She really focused on important items surrounding our wedding day that would have been an oversight if it wasn’t for her. During our rehearsal Marylee made sure we stayed on time and everyone knew their role for the next day. Our wedding day went so smoothly and we are so happy to have had her as our coordinator. Our florals were also done by Marylee. I simply gave her an idea of color scheme and she brought the vision to life. We highly recommend Marylee for planning and floral needs!!

I was initially on the fence about using a wedding planner, but can confidently say that hiring Marylee was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Marylee was experienced, organized, and — most importantly -- a trusted partner. I could always rely on her expertise, quick replies, and creative ideas to execute our vision within my budget. I had a fantastic planning experience with Marylee, but it was in the final days leading up to our wedding that she truly went above and beyond. Planning a wedding comes with its fair share of challenges, and ours included unexpected vendor issues the week of the wedding that caused significant stress. Marylee immediately took control and handled each issue with remarkable professionalism and calmness, giving me a much-needed reprieve in the days leading up to my wedding. I knew I could trust Marylee to advocate for us and find solutions — I still don't know how she managed it, but everything was ultimately resolved and our wedding was seamless. Marylee made all the difference, and I am truly grateful for all she and her team did to give us a perfect day!

Marylee is a joy to work with and I’m blessed to have known her for over 10 years. From the very beginning, she was available for brainstorming, questions, etc. She always made time for us and she is very responsive. Her attention to detail, southern hospitality, and passion for the industry always shine. We love Marylee and will always recommend her!

We hired Marylee about a month before our wedding for day of coordinator and honestly, I wish we had hired her sooner! Her lead planner, Chloe was our day of coordinator and was incredible. She was constantly checking in with me and my husband and my parents throughout the night to see if we needed anything! My husband and I also did not need to lift a finger at all our entire day. Thanks to Chloe, our day was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Marylee and Chloe!

We used Marylee for the florals at our wedding last month. We had been talking to a few different florists, when our planner recommended her. And WOW! She blew everyone else out of the water with her honesty, pricing, and product. She shared with us the best ways to save some $ when it came to florals, where everyone else was trying to upsell us on needing everything. The other part that made Marylee so wonderful was her vision. I was not terribly inspired when it came to florals, so I sent her colors and a couple Pinterest photos and that is it. And again… WOW. The day of I was so happy with how everything turned out. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. Cannot stress her value enough! Thank you Marylee 💛

We hired Marylee because of her enthusiasm and extra hand holding than a traditional day of coordinator.

Amazing experience with Marylee Marmer Events! We worked directly with Marylee as our day-of wedding coordinator, as well as Chloe Deal during the weekend of the wedding. Communication exceeded any expectations we had. In the months leading up to the wedding, we felt heard and were encouraged to check in with any questions. In addition to planning services, Marylee has a large inventory of decor to rent. She also offers floral services! I am still dreaming about my bouquet and all of the floral details. The flowers were so fresh and vibrant, and the cost was very fair. The day of the wedding was a dream. Our vision truly came to life, the timeline felt smooth, and we were checked on throughout the evening!

Marylee did the florals for our October wedding and absolutely killed it! Throughout the whole process she was so incredibly helpful. She offered her guidance and expertise when we needed help deciding what florals and greenery fit our vision as well as the weather and other outside factors. She was willing to work with our budget and we were able to make our florals to their fullest extent. We cannot recommend Marylee enough!

Marylee and her team are the real deal. It was clear from the very first conversation that they knew exactly the vision we were hoping to achieve and they did everything to not only meet that vision, but exceed it. While we didn’t contact her at the very beginning of our planning endeavors, she took all of the tasks, question marks, and complications off of our plate. We felt so heard and seen the entire time, even outside of wedding related topics. Marylee was compassionate and so kind when I was going through personal things, and it meant the absolute world to me.
Her response time was so prompt, even amongst the busiest point in wedding season. She made sure to address every last detail thoroughly during our meetings and recaps. It was my first time being a bride and I can’t imagine it having gone any more smoothly. I can’t tell you how amazing it was to have a planning team that not only delivered a wedding of our dreams, but also advocated for us every step of the way. And as many couples in the planning process learn quickly, the costs add up. Marylee made a point of giving us tips and tricks to save in ways; this was so helpful…like seriously. I could tell that other planners I had talked to prior to booking with Marylee wouldn’t have extended the same grace, which was another reason we knew Marylee was it. Her services are very affordable.
When it came to our wedding day, her whole team was absolutely phenomenal. A few hours before the ceremony began, I got hit with nerves and a mental breakdown that I’m sure made me hard to work with. They helped me to settle these nerves, to breathe and I knew that they would have everything under control (and they did). Wanted to also recognize Katie and Chloe from her team. They were incredible as well; super professional and a dream to work with.
Lastly, wanted to mention that you should ABSOLUTELY use Marylee for florals. She went above and beyond and made the flowers absolutely breathtaking. I don’t think I appreciated how fabulous they can be until our big day. She absolutely nailed the vision from the inspiration I had shared.
Needless to say, Marylee and her team is the epitome of top notch wedding planning. I wish I could hire her to assist me with everything in life (hah). A dream come true and truly cannot recommend her more!

Working with Marylee and her team, namely Rachel, was one of the best decisions we made in the months leading up to our wedding. Rachel was our lead planner, and in the weeks prior and day of, not a single stone was left unturned related to the minute details that made every ounce of planning come together flawlessly.
Speaking of the day of, the anxiety of all the logistics, details, vendor management, etc. was WIPED away as Rachel handled absolutely everything with the utmost professionalism. Not ONE thing was put on our plate so that we could focus on our families, friends, and actually enjoying everything come together.
Both Rachel as our lead planner and Marylee as a liaison throughout our engagement were so responsive, flexible, and helpful in offering creative solutions where we came up short.
We cannot express enough how grateful we are for this team and how much we recommend working with the Marylee Marmer Events staff!

Marylee and her team are the absolute best in the business! We are forever grateful to Marylee for helping make our wedding vision come to life. She is so kind, organized, professional and supportive. She reassured us whenever we worried, she kept us organized when there were hundreds of details to consider, and she reduced our stress tremendously (honestly, my cousin commented I was the calmest bride she had ever seen!). We will recommend her over and over to any couple planning a wedding.

We hired Marylee for our wedding day-of coordination and florals and she was incredible! She has the sweetest heart and was super responsive when we needed her. Marylee was able to line up vendors and organize things with very little time before the wedding and she was patient, understanding, and professional throughout the entire process. She worked tirelessly on the actual wedding day to insure that it was beautiful and as stress free as possible. Marylee and her team did an amazing job with the florals and made my vision come to life! She also has a huge inventory of stuff you can rent for your event/big day which helped knock out some stuff off my list! I would 100% book over again.

We had the BEST experience with Brickhouse RVA for our recent wedding of about 50 people. The package that they offer is great! We can’t say enough good things about Marylee and how amazing she was throughout the whole process. We felt supported the whole time and she made sure that everything ran smoothly along with her business partner Andy on the day of. Marylee did such a great job and went above and beyond to make sure we weren’t stressed about anything. Marylee did a beautiful job setting everything up and the florals were gorgeous. I highly recommend Brickhouse RVA and Marylee Marmer Events for your next event. They made our day so special!

Words cannot express how thankful I am to Marylee & her team. As I have told many of my friends & family, hiring Marylee was one of the first and one of the best wedding decisions I've made. I interviewed probably a dozen wedding planners, and Marylee stood out without question because she is so knowledgeable, supportive, responsible, professional, and easy to work with. Most importantly, she is the first planner I talked to that cared about what I think & what I want for my day, not how everybody else wanted/was doing. She always replied to emails so promptly & answered all my questions big and small. She knows everybody in the industry & really helped me save a lot of time and energy searching for vendors I could trust & work well with for the big day (planning a wedding with family far away& working full time was hard). She is so on point about everything and made our big day so smooth & hassle-free. We also hired her as our florist and that worked out well too. In short, hire Marylee!!!

Hiring Marylee was far and above the best decision we made for our wedding. We started with her day of coordinator package and bumped it up to one of her planner packages once we saw just how much work and time goes in to planning a wedding. She made everything feel manageable, organized, and fun from the very beginning. She took the time to understand our vision for the day and executed it flawlessly. She also did our florals and decor and they were just stunning, so far and above what we had imagined. Not only are she and her team so talented (special shout out to Tanya for helping the day run so smoothly), Marylee is genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met. She has such an amazing attitude and brightens up your day whenever you talk to her. I am so thrilled we decided to use her for our wedding. Everyone always says something will go wrong on your wedding day and you’ll just have to roll with it, but I can say without any hesitation that was not our experience and I owe it to her.

We hired Marylee to help plan and coordinate our wedding for November 2022. But as a bonus she was also our florist and provided a ton of decor items! She saved us so much time and money by being able to provide all these services with her team! Marylee was very responsive anytime we needed her help, she was very professional and had everything prepared and questions ready during our walk through. We wouldn't have been able to do it without her! She helped us through some vendor difficulties and had our back at all times! The day of the wedding she helped me feel less stressed and assured me through out the day that everything was going great! She communicated with all our vendors and the day went by smoothly. Marylee and her team did a great job and I would recommend them to anybody in need of planning services!

Marylee and Katie were such an amazing team for day-of-coordination and florals! When I first booked Marylee Marmer Events months ago, I was impressed by Marylee's response time, professionalism, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and availability to answer questions, even in the early stages of planning. Their day-of coordination services begin with a planning meeting early on in the process to help you think through everything needed well in advance and set you up for success if you're planning your own wedding! Katie F. was my day-of lead coordinator and was such a joy to have around in the final venue walkthrough, rehearsal, and wedding day. She is cheery, helpful, and organized. She took the reins at the rehearsal to make sure everyone was on time during the processional (quite a feat with our song choice!!), and during wedding day somehow managed to be everywhere at once behind-the-scenes so that I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. It is so, so comforting to be able to leave all your hard work and months of planning in this team's capable hands and see the day you've dreamed about come to life!! Highly recommend!

We hired Marylee for our December Richmond wedding because of her extensive experience! We were planning from out of state and Marylee reassured us every step of the way.
Even though we hired MME for the "Day Of" coordination, the prep really does start months in advance. Marylee met with us multiple times on zoom to help plan out our wedding. She was truly on "our team" and locked in to the details of our wedding. She was incredibly responsive on email and gave multiple vendor recommendations.
Being from out of state it was SO helpful to rent décor from MME and have her team handle some of the florals of my wedding too so that I didn't have to purchase and transport.
On the day of our wedding Marylee was calm, concise and on top of it. We had audio issues that resulted in timeline problems with our DJ and our venue fell short of what we expected from them, but Marylee handled everything given the situation and made sure that Plan B for our day was executed and no one noticed anything wrong.
I'm so glad I hired Marylee for my wedding day. She is so kind, a true professional with an incredible wealth of knowledge and on top of her game! Thank you Marylee!

Katie F. was our day of coordinator and she was phenomenal. She literally took the stress out of my day (since I chose to plan my own wedding) so that I could be in the moment and enjoy my wedding day. She would also check in on me throughout the months before my wedding. Katie was so sweet, attentive and detail oriented. She took charge of everything for me and I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. She handled the vendors for me, flower arrangements, all of my guests and family, anything I needed or asked for she was on it. My day was perfect and went so smoothly, she made sure of it. Do yourself a favor and hire a day of coordinator but not just anyone, hire Katie. Worth every penny.

We got married in mid August, and Marylee was a dream to work with. I really stressed about finding a great planner, since I knew that can make an huge difference in your wedding day. She had our back every step of the way! When we told vendors we were working with her they literally squealed with delight! She’s that good. We hired her for partial planning and floral design, and she made it so we never had to worry about a thing. She has a great selection of small rentals, and also gave really helpful tips that saved us money. My bouquet and flowers were gorgeous & even better than I envisioned. I really can’t say enough nice things about her. Hire her, you won’t regret it!

As someone who dreads the idea of event planning, I am here to tell you that you NEED a Marylee in your life! We just cannot stop talking about how much fun we had and how much we loved our wedding, and that was 100% able to happen because Marylee and her team lifted the entire world of planning stress & hosting anxiety off our shoulders. We felt so taken care of - not just on the wedding day but throughout the whole process. I'd love to include all the last-minute issues and forgotten details that popped up on the day of our wedding, but I can't think of a single one because Marylee's team is THAT good. They did so much vendor coordination and troubleshooting behind-the-scenes that we never had to think about, and made our wedding absolutely perfect. Marylee has such an amazing gift and we feel so lucky to have had her team guide us every step of the way.

Marylee was such a great florist and wedding coordinator. Her attitude and presence is literally like sunshine, you can truly tell she loves what she does. I interviewed with several florists and wedding planners and there was just something about Marylee that drew me in and i’m so thankful it did. She always answered my questions via email within a few hours. In addition, I forgot all about cake flowers until the week before and she was able to quickly add that on. However the day of the wedding is where she truly shined though. We had originally planned a nice outdoor wedding with beautiful fountain florals, but a few days before we saw it was going to thunderstorm and we had to change plans. She then put those flowers into other things the day of to make them look even better. The day of I could truly tell she did everything she could to try and get my wedding to be outside like we had planned for for an entire year. Unfortunately the weather didn’t hold up and we had to go with our backup option of underneath our tent. She and her team were able to quickly take everything down outside and set everything back up under the tent and as if that weren’t enough to deal with they also had to deal with the flash flood that happened under the tent with the rain literally right before the ceremony. I can honestly say that I don’t think anyone else would have succeeded with how much she was able to do for me and my husband that day. I will be recommending her to all my friends who need a wedding planner in the future.

We cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for the time and effort Marylee and Katie, our day-of coordinator, put into making our wedding day absolutely perfect and a total dreamy fairytale.
From our first meeting with Marylee her enthusiasm and passion absolutely shone through and we really, really loved that about her. Anytime we had a question, even if it had to be repeated because we forgot the answer, she was always patient with us and extremely quick with responses or anything we needed. Her guidance in our most stressful moments in the planning process was extremely comforting and so, so helpful. The florals she put together for us and consulted us on were P E R F E C T !!! They were a great price too. Everything was so beautifully matched together and arranged, I still cannot get over my gorgeous bouquet. The flower placement on the cake was absolutely stunning as well!
And as for Katie?? What can I say about her except for WOW! I cannot believe how she was seemingly in all places at all times we needed her on our wedding day. She kept everything running incredibly smoothly, was patient with ourselves and our guests, and despite inevitable hiccups in the night made sure that the brides focused on the most important thing - Celebrating our wedding! And Katie getting our meal plates to us before the mingling began and we completely lost track of the time?? Holy cow - absolute game changer. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Katie for being the true MVP of our wedding day.
Our sincerest gratitude goes out to MME for making the best day of our lives all come together ❤️

Marylee Marmer is a fantastic wedding coordinator! My wedding was delayed for over a year due to the pandemic, and she made coordinating a new date with all of my vendors a much less stressful process. She always offered expert advice, and calmed any worries I had. You want Marylee as a coordinator for your wedding--it's definitely not her first rodeo and she knows how to make a wedding run smoothly and helps to create your vision! Highly recommend!!! Thanks Marylee!!

We worked with Marylee and Katie for day of coordination and floral design. I can't say enough how helpful it was having Katie there the day of. We could relax knowing our vendors were taken care of which was great. She kept the whole show running on time and we got a lot of compliments from guests for how well organized it all felt. Beyond that Katie was everywhere that night and knew where everything was at all times. (Including my sneakers when I desperately needed out of heels)
The floral design was also incredible. My bouquet was STUNNING. The rest of the décor and flowers were exactly what we wanted and then some. Our whole experience was amazing.

Calling Marylee and Katie coordinators seems to lack justice. They are miracle workers, magicians, life savers. While we thought we had it all planned out in the months leading up to it, we could not have anticipated how much Marylee and Katie filled in missing gaps and smoothened rough edges. It was the best day of our lives, and it was their passion for this craft that made it so full of gorgeousness and beauty and cosmopolitanism and love. Speaking specifically on our wedding day, Katie seemed to be anywhere and everywhere that was needed, whether the situation was expected or not. She was there to guide, to troubleshoot, to offer advice and gentle words, and to help us be present. I love the way that she made my family feel safe, comfortable, and assured. Katie is truly special. Marylee was highly responsive despite how busy she had been and always made it easy to communicate and ask (a million) questions. I’ll never love another, I’ll never marry again— but I hope that there is another wedding I attend where I can witness these two working their magic, as it is truly something to experience. Truly the best there is.

Marylee Marmer Events was absolutely a dream to work with. She always had a direction to point us in and extremely helpful advice through wedding planning. Then Marylee took our vision for our flowers and designed the perfect blend. The bouquets for the bridesmaids were absolutely beautiful. Along with my personal bouquet. The guys boutonnières were just as adorable as well. We were so blessed to have Marylee Marmer and her team on our side for our big day. We could not have done it without them.

Loved our experience! Marylee and team kept my on track with my planning and shared helpful advice whenever I was unsure of what I needed to do. She created a clear timeline for our bridal party and was also just so sweet and put me at ease right away from our very first meeting. On the day of I felt so thankful to have them there to keep things running smoothly, especially when a guest had a medical emergency and they made sure adjustments were made to timeline and also that that person was OK.

Marylee and her team are AMAZING!!! She helped us through a very challenging Covid wedding when the circumstances were overwhelming for us.
She is incredibly friendly, knowledgable, and overall someone I would hug if the timing was right. Her 17 years in the industry show. She and Katie took on more responsibility at the event than required and made the event go as smooth as possible.
Even AFTER the wedding they continued to help with a vendor that did not perform as expected and gave us really good advice on how to progress.
WOW.
This is a team I would recommend time and time again!!!!

It was a pleasure working with Marylee! Not only is she so kind and generous she is a blast to work worth and also so knowledgeable about flowers and planning. We tasked her with making beautiful bouquets, boutonnières, wristlets, bridesmaid floral hoops and the full decor for our day and she did not disappoint! We were blown away with every single piece she created. Everything was thoughtful and absolutely perfect for our vibe. We can’t say enough great things about Marylee!!

We cannot thank Marylee and her team enough for being such an integral part of our wedding. We worked with her as our day-of coordinator and were quite late to the game, only realizing we needed help ~2 months before the wedding. We worked virtually across different states, and she went above and beyond her “day of” role in countless ways. Quite simply, there was nothing that we had to worry about on the day of the wedding – everything went perfectly without the slightest hiccup. We felt so supported by Marylee and were grateful to be able to relax with our guests; we have nothing but positive memories of our day. Her professionalism, attention to details that never would have occurred to us, and overall communication were so incredible, and we will be forever indebted. She has such a warm demeanor and was a pleasure to work with. We hope she keeps doing what she does so that other people feel as happy as we did.

Great experience with Marylee. I did not think we'd need a planner, but it really came in handy, especially towards the end. So helpful to have someone else deal with multiple vendors. She was great with creating a timeline for the day of, keeping everyone focused and made the day go so smoothly! very punctual, responsive to emails, calls etc. I really enjoyed working with someone who's genuinely nice, inclusive, and professional.
