I had hundreds of pictures saved on Pinterest of what I wanted my wedding to look like but it's like that cake you try to make that never turns out even close to the Pinterest version. I ended of having a trailer full of random items that I just dropped off for her and Melinda to go through and do something with. I couldn't even believe my eyes when I showed up to my wedding and saw that they took those items and truly, truly designed and created THE wedding of my dreams...completely Pinterest worthy! I never imagined it could be so beautiful and for that I thank them. But even more importantly, they took ALL the stress out of my wedding. We got married almost in the middle of no-where which had a lot of logistics details and a lot of coordination. Lyndsay worked with all of my vendors leading up to the wedding so I only had to focus on the important stuff like my dress, spray tan and nails lol. And the day of, there was ABSOLUTELY nothing I had to deal with...not one concern. On my wedding day, I even got to enjoy a glass of champagne on my deck enjoying the sunshine in peace because of how flawlessly they organized the schedule and took care of everything the entire day. Lyndsay and Melinda, I cannot thank you both enough for everything. You truly made this day magical for me and it really was the best day of my life. I thank first my new husband for that and second the two of you. I can't recons you enough.

Melinda & Lyndsay deserve 100 stars!

I don't know what I would have done without this team - especially during covid times where we had to postpone our wedding and all the obstacles we went through!

We loved working with Michelle. Our wedding had a pretty compressed timeline (roughly 6 months)…read moreand we didn't find Michelle until about 3 months in. She was very quick to catch up to where we were at with things and after our first call she had put together a preliminary timeline for our wedding day. We also had some communication issues with the venue and their event coordinator definitely missed some details, but Michelle was there to save the day. What was more impressive is that she was always positive and encouraging, while taking each of our requests seriously and executing them diligently. What's more is 5 days later, she coordinated my bridesmaid's wedding, which was also beautiful and put together seamlessly. :) We felt really blessed to get to know Michelle and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a day-of coordinator!

Michelle planned our wedding which was on 1/10/14. She did an amazing job with following up with…read moreus, coordinating with other vendors and she was very helpful on the day of the wedding. She helped set up and tear down at the venue as well as attend to any concerns we had. One important thing to remember is when you go to a venue and they say they coordinate a wedding, ask how long they will be there on the day of. At our venue their "coordinator" left after the buffet... Everything else would've been on us but it's great that we had Michelle and her assistant there. It's a great investment to hire Michelle to coordinate your wedding! You will be glad you did!

Pam is such a wonderful officiant! My husband and I spoke with her over the phone when choosing…read moreofficiants and knew right away she was the one for us! Her combination of wit and sincerity won us over, and she provided us with many ideas to help us shape our ceremony in a way that felt authentic for us. She was easy to reach via email and by phone during the planning process, and offered lots of good advice for choosing our vows and braiding our handfasting cord. It was important to us include our parents in our ceremony and we wanted to keep our "repeat-after-me" vows simple. Pam was able to bring all our ideas together into a ceremony that was sweet and silly (just like us) and we couldn't be happier with how it went. Her love of marrying couples is so sweet and she's a joy to be around. Her guidance through the entire process was essential and we can't imagine a more perfect day.

We wanted a casual wedding in nature with a simple, non-denominational, spiritual ceremony. Pamela was a wonderful officiant and she even recommended our wedding location to us which ended up being perfect and stunning! Pamela was kind, flexible, accommodating, and made us feel special on our special day. I remember her telling us to take a moment and soak it in and be present and that was so helpful. We had a great experience and I would definitely recommend Pamela!

Our wedding was perfect! We chose Marisa and I Do Events to be our wedding planner. She was…read morefantastic from the beginning to the end! My husband and I wanted someone who would listen to our vision for the wedding, and deliver that vision. It was also important for us to have someone loving and accepting of the LGBTQ community. Marisa exceeded our expectations at every turn. We had about 120 guests at the wedding. The ceremony happened in a church venue, followed by appetizers and drinks, dinner, and dancing during the reception. Planning/Availability: Marisa met with us numerous times during the planning process to ensure we understood everything, and to make sure we had made all decisions about the wedding structure. She walked us through the process step-by-step, created a detailed cost estimate, and went over each line item on the cost estimate with us so we understood it. She made herself available any time we had questions (or my husband and I changed something, which happened several times). She was extremely professional, flexible, patient, and understood your wedding day is one of the best days of your life, and she and her staff worked hard to deliver high quality results, attention to detail, and magical moments. Budget: Prior to hiring Marisa, we researched the costs to deliver the type of wedding we wanted, including the venue, servers and catering for 120 people, flowers and decorations, photographer, videographer, bartender (see comments below), and a DJ. Then we hired Marisa. Marisa came in way under budget, several thousands under budget. Why the huge savings? Because Marisa has a large network of contacts in the wedding industry and we were able to save money by using her contacts. Not only did we save money using her contacts, but Marisa also owns a lot of wedding assets she made available to us for use. Rather than buying items, we were able to use many of hers, which also helped save us money. Bartender: My husband and I originally hired a bartender for the reception before we hired Marisa. The bartender canceled on us 5 days before the wedding. Marisa not only got us a bartender, she got us 2 of them for the reception. Having contacts makes all the difference. If you are thinking about getting married, I highly recommend Marisa and I Do Events. She is professional, organized, and can be trusted to help make your wedding day full of happiness without any of the stress. You won't be disappointed.

No one ever wants to have to request a refund for services not performed, but that is exactly the…read moresituation we found ourselves in with I Do Events. We wanted a wedding planner with gay wedding experience and hired Marisa Tristan, owner & primary employee, after she said she could deliver what we were looking for. She helped us secure a venue, but after that things fell apart. In our planning meetings, she had no agenda and it was up to us to bring up topics to discuss and remember deadlines. She took notes but later could not recall the information. One of the primary tasks she was hired for was vendor coordination, but most of our vendors said she never contacted them so this crucial task fell to us. We even asked her if she was going to contact a vendor and she'd say yes, but then never did. Our vendors had to contact us directly for direction during this busy time. We wouldn't have been able to have a wedding had we relied on Marisa to do it. She was also in charge of decorations which were a failure. She got the colors of the wedding flowers wrong(!), and other decorations were missing or not as agreed upon. She didn't get the guest count right so many chairs were left without decor. Her staff was extremely unprofessional: they walked into our dressing room without knocking, were rude to our other vendors, sat at the guest tables eating and drinking, then tore decor down early causing guests to think it was time to leave. We hired I Do Events for wedding planning and decorations, and all we got was substandard decor.

Lynn Grand officiated my wedding this summer and I could not be any more grateful to her! Truly,…read moreanything I write here will fall short of just how warm and caring she was to us, and how perfect and special she made our wedding. First, her service is personal and affordable. We requested quotes from many officiants but didn't even meet with them because Lynn offers so much for such a great price! She never books more than one wedding on the same day, and she will run your rehearsal at no charge! Most other officiants I saw charged an extra fee for both of these luxuries. However, please don't think that because she doesn't charge through the nose means that you are in any way getting less - Lynn explained to us that she decided to become an officiant after her own wedding because she felt that some officiants charge too much and refuse to be in any way flexible with the ceremonies they design. Not Lynn! She wanted to give couples the perfect day, and boy did she deliver. We knew we wanted to work with Lynn from the first meeting we had with her. She helped us create a completely personal, beautiful wedding ceremony that worked in our crazy situation. We were kind of late getting started with our planning but she helped keep us on track and made sure everything was ready in time. She had a HUGE selection of choices and suggestions for each piece in the ceremony, from the "Who gives this woman..." all the way through the "I now pronounce..." We were able to build a ceremony that satisfied our very Catholic families while still making my inner feminist happy. No small feat, let me tell you! We also suffered a tragic loss just weeks before my wedding - my husband's father passed away quite suddenly. When I called to explain to Lynn what had happened, she was full of empathy and support - she even sent us a card with her condolences. How many wedding vendors care that much about their clients? She also helped us decide how to honor my Father in Law during our ceremony without bringing the loss up too directly - we wanted mostly tears of happiness! Lynn goes the extra mile in everything that she does for her couples. She was at our ceremony early to work with other vendors to make sure everything went perfectly, and after the ceremony she collected all of our documents (including vows) in a pretty folder for safekeeping. I adore Lynn and will reccomend her until the sky turns green! Thank you so so much for our beautiful wedding.
