    “If you're looking for a truly amazing proposal set up look no further. Mari has been instrumental in setting up this proposal. Our calls were straight to the point and she was able to put together a set up that was exactly what I had in mind. One of the most stressful part of a proposal is to have the event location set up perfectly so it's 100% worth to go with her and have your peace of mind.”

    “Where do I start?! I started planning for my proposal roughly 5-6 months before it happened. A friend of mine also used Mari’s services and it came out beautiful so, I figured I’d give her a shot, too. I’m someone who is a planner by trade — you can imagine I had plenty of questions and fussed over the smallest details. Mari was patient, helpful, and went above and beyond.”

    “We have worked with Mari for several years for the most special events in our life. She has truly made them magical. She arrives with a smile and then begins to work her magic. When we see what she has created it is truly phenomenal. She works closely with you to understand what you want to create but then her creativity and imagination bring it to life.

    I almost cried when I saw what she did for my birthday this weekend.

    On top of her great work she is genuinely the kindest person. She is part of our family now. I could not recommend her more.”
