About Events by Marissa

Events by Marissa

Owner & Lead Planner

With over 5 years of event coordination experience, I have honed my skills in orchestrating seamless and memorable events. My journey began with high-end events in Beverly Hills and celebrity gatherings, where I learned the intricacies of creating sophisticated and high-energy occasions. This foundation allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail and a passion for crafting magical moments that leave a lasting impression. Every event is an opportunity to transform visions into reality. My goal is always to exceed expectations and create experiences that are both unique and unforgettable.

What sets me apart as a wedding planner is my unwavering commitment to advocating for you every step of the way. Your vision, preferences, and peace of mind are at the heart of everything I do. I’m not just here to plan your wedding — I’m here to protect your interests, handle the behind-the-scenes details, and make sure your voice is heard in every decision. From our first meeting to the final send-off, my priority is to ensure your day unfolds exactly as you imagined, with ease, joy, and authenticity. I’m here to support, guide, and execute—so you can be fully present for every unforgettable moment.

In three words: Fun, Honest, Supportive

We worked with Marissa Sartory for our Napa Valley wedding in July 2024. She truly went above and beyond with the planning and coordinating of our wedding! We had multiple walkthroughs of the venue with different vendors and lots of outside requests for the day of and she was so open to different ideas and was always super helpful in getting answers back to us quickly! On the day, she executed a truly beautiful wedding! We had a small hiccup with our DJ *right before the reception* and Marissa had my back completely, making sure we stuck to our planned timeline and executed the vision we had. Everything went according to plan and we were right on time the whole day. Marissa was so attentive to making sure all the details were taken care of and constantly checked in with us to keep up with any changes we wanted to implement. She was an indispensable part of our wedding who made the day absolutely beautiful!
