Marissa and her team were exceptional! We hired Marissa for our wedding for her day-of coordination service but she delivered so much more! Marissa is kind, friendly, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is smart, organized, ...efficient, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough!!!
While most day-of (or month-of) services start 4 weeks before the wedding, Marissa was available to help us right from the day we reached out to her, providing recommendations even before we had officially hired her! Months before our wedding Marissa helped us think through the many decisions we had to make about the wedding, and was more than willing and able to help us with our event decor (including handling all our florals, and renting and setting up our chuppah).
Nearly 2 months before the wedding Marissa kicked into high gear, sending us checklists, making sure we were on track, and providing complementary access to AislePlanner which helped us organize ourselves. Marissa took over every aspect of event management from communicating & coordinating with other vendors, receiving all deliveries for our decor directly, making sure the legal aspects like marriage license were taken care of, and even taking delivery of the wholesale flowers we ordered online.
On the day of our wedding, Marissa took care of absolutely everything, allowing my husband and myself, and our families to enjoy ourselves without worrying about anything. She managed all the vendors, arranged all our decor (for our outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception), and managed a number of fires that we were not even aware of until after the fact! For example, our venue had a very slow dinner service which would have left us with no time for dancing but Marissa negotiated with them to give us an additional 30 mins to make up for the delays they caused, at no charge to us. After the wedding, Marissa and her team helped with the clean-up and neatly organized and returned all our decor.
Throughout the process, Marissa was extremely easy to work with - she was always there to provide her honest opinion and helped us make decisions while still allowing my husband and I to still make choices based on our preferences. Our wedding was an interfaith/secular wedding and while Marissa didn't have much prior experience with a Hindu-Jewish fusion wedding, she was able to "go with the flow" and helped us think through how to execute all the different ideas we had and also provided a lot of great ideas herself!
Marissa and her team are truly exceptional and we are very grateful to them for everything they did to make our big day such a success.
