Lisa Marie and her team are absolute ROCKSTARs. You have to use her services, either it's for…read morewedding "day of'" coordination, wedding planning, or corporate events. She is a huge help in all aspects of an event. Here are a couple stand out moments with Lisa Marie that set her apart from other event planners: Wedding tips: you think you have your wedding all planned out, but you will leave out some planning details and she will catch them! She has great tips about ceremony timing, how you should time out your wedding day, and the flow of the reception. Stuff you don't think about planning out or questions that you need consulting on, Lisa Marie will iron out those concerns for you. Our other vendors adored Lisa Marie and appreciated her thoroughness and willingness to help. This makes your whole wedding staff have a fun time working our event. This brings great vibes for the guests and the wedding party. She doesn't operate like her competitors, who can be sticklers on charging you for every extra thing they do for you. She is a good time. She turned into a friend during our wedding planning year. The whole family enjoyed sharing the weekend with her. She even acted as a "therapist", coaching me through the emotional times throughout the wedding week haha! She does her research on whatever you provide her with to fully understand your wedding ins-and-outs. Lisa has great taste. You can trust her to get your theme and design concept and make decisions for you to enhance your event! Picture below for proof:

Molli and her team were awesome. We hired Soiree as our day-of coordinator for our 120 person…read morewedding at McMenamins Edgefield this August. Whitney was our onsite coordinator and she did a fantastic job. I was able to enjoy everything about the day and didn't have to worry about much. Whitney handled all of the vendor set up and guided the reception along wonderfully. She showed up at just the right times to ask me quick questions (like "Do you need more time with guests before speeches?") but otherwise handled all the other curveballs thrown her way without burdening me. My whole family was so glad she was there, we all though Soiree did an amazing job. 100% recommend!

About two months before my wedding, i broke down and hired Soiree. Our wedding event was a pretty…read moresmall gathering (around 60 people in total, us included), and I totally thought that I could handle it all on my own. Haha, I was wrong. I called Soiree and lucky me, they were still free for Labor Day weekend. I talked to Molli and Krissa, and they were able to lower their rate (since I picked a venue they knew well) that was within my wedding budget. They offer a great variety of services, and had I known sooner that planning a wedding required so much work, I would have totally hired them to do the whole thing from the start. Since I'm not local, most of our "meetings" and information exchange was done over the phone and via email (yay for modern technology). Krissa was able to coordinate and effectively handle all the follow ups and pointed out a lot of details that I had totally either forgotten or not known about. She was available to discuss my last minute changes and ideas and make recommendations for our wedding. Our wedding was a complete success. Most people have told me it's been one of the best weddings they've been to (definitely ranking high on the "best wedding food" list as well). I'm glad everyone had such a great time - and I know it wouldn't have run as smoothly if I hadn't hired Soiree. Even the smallest weddings require a lot of planning, and as a bride on the big day, there are many other things to be pretty and dolled up for - no need to worry with a great wedding coordinator!

Working with Kelsey Timberlake to plan our wedding was the single most important decision we made…read more Kelsey provided the necessary counsel to build our budget, focus our priorities, and weigh our options to host a truly personalized and unforgettable celebration... all before the real work actually began. Throughout the planning process, Kelsey was able to leverage her experience and network of vendors to match our style and vision for the weekend. Kelsey never said no, but always kept us grounded on our timeline and priorities. Even as the wedding weekend approached, Kelsey and her team made everything from shipping supplies to communicating with guests as easy and painless as possible. Kelsey's keen ability to coordinate vendors, manage setup and break down, and solve unforeseen problems left us with nothing to do but focus on our guests, connect with each other, and be fully present for the entire experience. Kelsey Timberlake comes with our highest recommendation. We couldn't be happier.

Miryam is incredible and her team is awesome!! Our venue (The Vintages) referred us to Miryam and…read morewe couldn't be more grateful. She helped us with planning our wedding reception from beginning to end. I thought it would be challenging to plan our semi-destination, non-traditional wedding event but Miryam made everything so easy. We coordinated with her for over a year and she was responsive throughout the entire process. She understood exactly what we were looking for and was able to recommend the best local vendors and provide endless brilliant ideas and suggestions. We had a three day event and on the day(s)-of, her and her team rocked it, crushed it, owned it - whatever term you want to use. They far exceeded our expectations and were a lot of fun to work with! Her team helped with setup and cleanup, coordinated with all our vendors, and even helped us with our group check-in/check-out. The event went off without a hitch (and if there was one, Miryam probably handled it). Miryam's team was so good, even my guests commented on how incredible her team was. If you need help with your event, I highly recommend you give Miryam a call and see if she can help you out!

She is the most talented florist I have worked with. She works to understand, complement and extend your ideas. She helps you to make choices and she elaborates on your choices. Everything for both events was absolutely perfect, from decorating the old wooden bar with overhead and trails of greenery, to coordinating colors and shapes of multi sized table arrangements, adding golden flower containers and candlesticks of different heights to the tables, decorating the head table with a rich, full garland and the fireplace with beautiful framing, and adding trails of greenery to to overhead chandeliers. I wish she were here in NYC -- I would be able to work with her here and to recommend her to all of our friends.
