Maria didn’t coordinate my wedding so I cannot speak to her coordination abilities. What I can say is that she is kind, knowledgeable about weddings, and was very responsive. She helped us create a day-of-timeline and gave us insightful tips on how to have a smooth wedding day. She was also available to answer any questions my husband and I had. Because she was unavailable on mine and my husbands wedding date, her assistants coordinated mine and my husbands wedding, and I can speak to their abilities. They reminded us not once, not twice, but three times that guests were leaving and that we should do our grand exit (two hours) early. Christine (one of the assistants) very rudely denied my father a beer. Being the father of the bride, he helped pay for the wedding and also bought the beer. The upside: Christine was quick on her feet to think of a grand exit solution after I forgot my bubbles at home for the bubble exit. But, at the end of the day, it’s extremely disheartening to feel rushed out of your own wedding.

There aren’t enough good words! From the get go, Maria was responsive, communicative and transparent. She listened to all my ideas openly, helped me navigate my thoughts and was quick to help me out with whatever questions I had. My event - my daughter’s first birthday party - ended up being better than my wildest dreams. From the set up to the decor to the clean up, Maria and her team was perfect. I had not a single worry in the days prior because I knew I was in good hands and boy, was I right! She made me entire vision come to life, and even better! Her team is so friendly and polite and really felt like family. I CANNOT recommend her enough and cannot wait to hire her for future events!

Details: Child's birthday party • 25 guests or fewer • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Venue selection • Setup • Lighting • 3 - 5 months • Remotely (phone or internet)

Maria was fantastic! She not only recreated the inspiration photo provided but she made it better by tailoring it to my wishes. She was punctual and efficient, flexible and really invested in making my event everything I expressed and more! Her decorations were the centerpiece and star of my covid baby shower! I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Thank you so much Jasmine for your kind words. We had a fantastic time designing this sweet candy cart inspired backdrop. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day. Many blessings to you, Donald and Mackenzie! 😁
