Elle Events

I'm very happy we decided to go with Mari as our wedding planner for our June wedding. From the very beginning, Mari was thoughtful, professional, and fully supportive of our vision. She was always present, reliable, and responsive to our needs every step of the way. I appreciated her meticulous attention to detail and also her ability to help problem solve various decisions we made as we approached our wedding day. Mari fully embraced and helped us combine our different religious and cultural backgrounds in ways that worked for us. I would recommend her without reservation and am glad we chose her to be a part of our special day!

If you are looking for a day of coordinator who will not only execute your vision but also become your advocate, confidante, and calm in the storm, look no further than Elle Events. I hired Mari later in the planning process, and it was the best decision I made. From our first meeting, she seamlessly stepped in, organized the loose ends, and gave me the peace of mind to finally just enjoy being a bride. What truly set Mari apart was her incredible ability to connect with and manage both of our families. As a fellow Dominican, she understood the nuances of my family's expectations and communicated with them effortlessly in Spanish. Simultaneously, she was fantastic with my husband's Black American family, ensuring everyone felt included, respected, and knew exactly where they needed to be. She was the ultimate bridge, making our blended celebration feel cohesive and joyful for all. On the wedding day, Mari was my fierce advocate. She handled every unforeseen hiccup with grace and professionalism, "pivoting" so smoothly that no one ever knew there was an issue. She shielded us from stress, allowing us to be fully present in every moment. She wasn't just managing a timeline; she was protecting our peace and our joy. Mari, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You are exceptionally good at what you do. Our day was flawless because of you, and we are forever grateful.

Mari is a Godsend! She was enthusiastic, reassuring and competent from the first time we spoke. She brought professionalism, experience and accessibility to everything she did. I enjoyed working with her and her assistant was fantastic as well. I feel so grateful to have benefited from her support and generosity of spirit!
