We thank Marilyn and her team for such a fantastic wedding, we are so grateful to have had the chance to work with her."
“Marilyn is the best of the best. I can't imagine planning a wedding without her. Her eye for design and attention to detail surpassed any expectations I had. My husband and I started to tear up when we saw how beautiful everything was on our wedding day. She made the whole planning process a breeze. She kept our priorities top of mind, kept us on budget, offered recommendations, and made the day of go seamlessly. To this day, our guests are still telling us how our wedding was the most beautiful and most fun wedding they've ever attended.
“As a Parisian, beauty, creativity, art, and design are essential. Marilyn went above and beyond to make my every wish come true. We loved the calm and creative way she works, everything was organized and thought through, and most of all, everything was exquisite; unique reception venue décor, lavish menu, amazing music, romantic lighting, creative seating pattern, gorgeous florals… Marilyn has amazing connections and found us exactly what we were looking for. She is not only an excellent wedding planner, she is an amazing artist! Her talent for choosing and matching tastes, colors, shapes and styles is unparalleled. My French guests were impressed with her professionalism and creativity as it’s rare to find both of these in the same person. 1,000 merci’s Marilyn!”
“We are simply staggered by the phenomenal beauty and flawless execution of the wedding you orchestrated so commandingly for us. I knew the wedding would be gorgeous, but I was honestly unprepared for just how magnificent it would be in EVERY way...Your vision was beyond inspired, in addition to being perfectly executed. I know people gasped audibly when they walked in... I have been hugely impressed with your knowledge, your talent, your connections, your relationship skills...all the things one could hope to find in an event planner. I do not believe for one second we could have had anything like the wedding we had with any other wedding planner. You have truly made my daughter so happy. That is priceless to me. Please know we will be forever grateful.”
