Testimonials

Marilee helped pull all of my wedding planning together without the added stress on the bride! When I went for my initial consultation with Marilee, she made it a point to listen to my ideas and give great feedback about what I was thinking of doing…  Marilee created an AWESOME itinerary for each person in the bridal party, detailing a timeline for each event… One of the most memorable, life saving, acts that Marilee preformed for my wedding was getting black grease out of my dress! This would have been a disaster on my Ivory wedding gown, but she was prepared and got it out without any problems.

Marilee was a great addition to my wedding! She was very well prepared for every situation the wedding day could have had. Many thanks again to you and your assistant!

Marilee thought of things I never imagined! Her little touches and attention to detail were great!

Planned Spontaneity went above and beyond all expectations!

Twisted Bunny Solutions On a 1-10 scale, their wedding was definitely a 10. Not only was it physically beautiful, it was seamlessly organized. Everyone’s needs were thought of and met. Both adult and children’s playful and creative sides were nourished with the bounty of fun toys and treats on the reception tables. The day is a precious memory I will always cherish.

Marilee helped me plan my 70th birthday party and it was a super experience. The big thing for me is that Marilee was my hostess on the day of the party. In addition to directing and helping with the set-up and clean-up, she graciously greeted my guests and, saw that they were included in the festivities. I was “Queen for a Day”!

When I went for my initial consultation with Marilee, she made it a point to listen to my ideas and give great feedback. I knew that she would be a great asset to my big day. Leading up to the weeks/days before the wedding, Marilee met and discussed the details with all of my vendors. She made sure that all of my requests were met, and that I was aware of any changes in the plan. Marilee created an AWESOME itinerary for each person in the bridal party, detailing a timeline for each event for my special day. This worked slick for both the bride and groom side! One of the most memorable, life saving, acts that Marilee preformed for my wedding was getting grease off of my dress! This would have been a disaster on my Ivory wedding gown, but she was prepared and got it out without any problems.
