Twenty-Five Event Management

My husband and I couldn't give Liz enough stars for her amazing work helping with our wedding! In my opinion, she went well beyond what was expected of her. I was planning an out of state wedding and Liz was absolutely the reason it was an enjoyable and low stress experience for me. She helped with everything from planning my dress shopping to talking through every detail of the wedding with me on the phone to recommending great vendors. My venue coordinator told me that I wouldn't need to hire a planner, but I found that totally shortsighted. Liz was our go-to person for the hundreds of little details that popped up. If you're planning a wedding, absolutely call Twenty-Five Event Management!

If I could give Liz a million stars, I would. I have had encounters with various wedding coordinators through weddings of friends, and I was very unhappy with their treatment of the wedding party. They were rude and unprofessional - one even made my friend's five year old son cry before walking down the aisle.. Thus, I knew exactly what I needed in a coordinator. Someone sweet, organized, and able to provide instruction and direction with a smile. I knew from the first phone call I had with Liz that she was exactly the person I was looking for! And she did not disappoint! To put into words just how easy and wonderful she was to work with is difficult. She took care of everything! We had roughly six months to plan our wedding which was to take place in my parent's backyard. She booked all of the remaining vendors we needed. She even managed to book a most wonderful photographer for us A MONTH before our wedding! She really did everything that needed to be done! Working with her was like working with a friend who also happens to be a coordinator. I will always recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator! Simply the best!

Three words…LIZ IS AMAZING! I had 11 months to plan my wedding and was going to try and do it all on my own; however, a few months before, I knew I was running out of time and needed some help! Our wedding was taking place at a very dear friend’s, very large backyard, and I needed someone to help me get to the finish line and carry out my vision that I have been dreaming about for our special day! I specifically needed a professional to bounce ideas off of and my fiancé, God bless him, was ecstatic when I relieved him of this and found Liz! ;) I also primarily wanted someone for the day of to organize all the vendors and run the show so that I could keep my sanity, and enjoy the special day with my bridal party, family, and friends. From our first conversation on the phone and our first face to face meeting, we knew that Liz was our match! She is such a genuine person and you can tell that she really is passionate about wedding planning/coordinating and truly loves what she does! Liz was (and my husband would agree) our saving grace! The big day was coming quick and my mind was going in a gazillion different directions. She helped me go from freak-out mode and maybe even borderline bridezilla back to really enjoying the planning process and keeping my vision focused and organized. My now husband and I took on a huge task of turning the backyard into our dream wedding venue and Liz was there to direct us! She has great relationships with several wedding vendors and was very helpful at recommending amazing vendors that we had not yet booked. She got to know us as a couple and truly understood our vision and the ambiance we were going for. We could not be more happy with how everything turned out. Liz went above and beyond! We still have family and friends talking about how amazing it was sharing our special day and all the personal touches that made it one of their favorite weddings they’ve ever been too!  The entire day was amazing. I could completely let go and enjoy getting ready with my girls knowing that Liz had everything under control. She was phenomenal at organizing all the details and orchestrating all the vendors that arrived throughout the day. Overall, every little detail fit us to a T….from the ceremony, to dinner, to reception (all held in the very large backyard)…. It oozed Anthony and Kari and exactly what we wanted! It was truly the best day of my life! Sincerely Liz, from the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU! AND YOUR LOVELY ASSISTANT! ;)

Liz made our wedding incredible. From start to finish she was so amazing and guided us through the entire process. We truly would have been completely lost without her. She made sure we got the best deals, she handled all issues with vendors flawlessly, and she made sure we were organized at every step. She went above and beyond throughout the whole process and really made a stressful process enjoyable. Our wedding went off without a hitch and this was solely due to Liz's tireless efforts. I would without hesitation recommend Liz for any brides looking to have an amazing wedding. She truly is incredible in everything she does.

Our daughter lives in Va & her fiancé in Tx and they were planning a wedding in Phoenix Az. Due to work schedules they had a very tight turnaround time… only 3.5 months! After doing some on-line research our daughter just happened to call Liz (Elizabeth Marcou) at 25 Event Management. Our daughter & Liz connected right away; then my husband & I followed up by meeting Liz in person. Within minutes of meeting her we knew not only was she more than qualified, her personality and positive attitude made her the perfect match to guide us through this process! Liz in highly organized, pays extreme attention to detail, knows the right questions to ask in order to get a feel for how the bride/groom want their wedding events to go; fabulous recommendations for the various vendors i.e. florist, officiants, photographers, hair & make up, dj’s, etc.…. In going through her checklist of questions she caught so many things that we hadn’t even THOUGHT about and they were crucial things to a successful wedding! I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her! Liz took the time to get to know not only our daughter and her fiancé, but also our immediate family members and our dog who was in the wedding party! The wedding was at a local resort and Liz took the lead on communications with them and ensuring the contracted agreement was carried out as expected. If I could give anyone advice on planning any wedding but especially one at at resort… do NOT attempt to do it yourself. The resorts are wonderful but you really need to have a great advocate that has only YOUR best interest at heart. Believe me, dealing with the various divisions and employees is at times challenging and often exhausting; it was so helpful for all of us that Liz filled that role so we could all focus on how we wanted the events to unfold. She was also primary point-person for all of the other vendors. She gave us all access to her online planner so at any given time we could see where things were in the process. Her communication skills are outstanding, and she took full advantage of technology to include our daughter & her fiancé via FaceTime as they were making various decisions and meeting with the vendors.; of course also having to deal with a 3 hour time difference when communicating with our daughter back east. It was amazing to see just how accomplished she is at getting the job done and all the while staying up-beat and happy and focused. If you are looking for a wedding planner look no further! She is hands-down the cream of the crop! She is kind, caring, creative, dedicated, and has boundless energy. I am 100% serious when I say, we hired a wedding planner and gained a new daughter… not just Liz but her entire wonderful family who we have come to love. THANK YOU Liz… from the bottom of our hearts!!! The wedding was perfect from beginning to end and we simply could not be happier. Lorraine Bill & Zoe too :)
