Hello! I've been in the wedding industry for 10 years and the hospitality industry for more than 30 years. Serving others is my passion. I believe every bride deserves a planner and so I try to keep my prices low and my energy high!

What sets me a part is that I'm affordable, down to earth and FUN! YES, weddings are work but they should be an enjoyable experience and as stress free as possible! I will go with the flow and keep the flow moving!

In three words: Flexible, Practical, Resourceful

    When starting the wedding planning process, we reached out to many other wedding planners in the area, all of which made us feel like we were talking to a salesperson thats trying way too hard to connect with us just to secure the sale- conversations felt forced and scripted, A lot of beating around the bush with leading questions & compliments, and aesthetic but generic canva lists containing just about every wedding planning service you can think of to try to lure us in before they hit us with the absurd price. Marnie was the complete opposite. She is super down to earth, witty and easy to talk to. We knew within the first 2 minutes of our first phone call with Marnie, that we wanted to work with her. She got right to the point with figuring out where we were in the planning process, our budget, our vision/ideas, and laid out the general process and her price which was considerably more affordable than many planners in the area. She went way above and beyond for us every step of the way while always making sure that we were happy with everything and that we were staying within budget- from securing venues, vendors, food, entertainment, decor, etc for the ceremony, reception, welcome party, after party and all the activities we planned for guests the days leading up to the wedding, setup/takedown, day of coordination, meetings with venues/vendors, and a million other things in between (quite literally ANYTHING we could have possibly needed) During all of our events leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day we didnt have to lift a finger. Marnie handled absolutely everything flawlessly and it felt like she could literally sense whenever we (or any of our wedding party/guests) needed anything at all because before we could even stand up or say anything, she was somehow already on her way over with whatever it was we needed whether it be a refill on a drink, fixing the flyaways in my hair for pictures, corralling a guest(s) to a different areas, hunting down my bag and accessories from the glam room and bringing them to me so i could change during the reception, making sure we got all the pictures we needed, bringing us back down to earth if we started getting overwhelmed, checking us into our honeymoon suite and moving our bags so we didnt have to deal with it after the reception etc. Even my sister said at one point she was standing around feeling kind of anxious before the ceremony and didnt know what to do with herself and Marnie could just sense that and went up to my sister and asked her if she wanted a job to do to keep herself occupied until the ceremony which my sister was pumped about lol. Also we were coming from out of state so we really appreciated the extra time she put in in regards to handling everything we couldn’t physically be there for- driving to different venues and facetiming us, meeting with all the venue/caterer/vendors for us, letting us ship an insane amount of stuff to her house and hanging onto it for weeks before the wedding and then making multiple trips back and forth to get everything to us when we got there and then also getting everything to the venue on time for setup, printing and picking up stationery, supplying us with tons of decorations and even making decorations for us at no extra cost, offering to get us to/from the airport, etc. the list is truly too long to include everything. You get the gist. Essentially…you name it and shes got you. 1000000000% recommend.

    As a wedding photographer with 17 years of experience in the industry, I'm always thrilled to work with Marnie and her team at Leave it to Marnie. Their communication is efficient, timely, and thoroughly detailed, ensuring the planning process is smooth and stress-free. The quality of their work is above average, with thoughtful and comprehensive planning that goes above and beyond. For one wedding, they were able to quickly find alternate vendors when last-minute cancellations occurred, keeping everything running seamlessly. I know that when Marnie and her team are involved, it's going to be an easy, enjoyable day for everyone.
