About Ever After Weddings By Design

Marie Smotek

Owner/Head planner

Back in 2015, our passion for wedding planning sparked after helping three close friends with their weddings. Early 2016 my daughter Savanna and I founded Ever After Weddings by Design. Both overachievers, both people pleasers, and both extremely detail-oriented, we aim for perfection. We understand the importance of personalizing each wedding to reflect the personalities and styles of our couples and that is why we work hand in hand with our clients to ensure everything is organized and tailored to your unique vision. Our goal is to create an unparalleled experience never losing sight of what is important to you and your guests.

Our relationships with our clients are extremely important to me. I conduct every single development starting with the first inquiry about our services to concluding the wedding day. I make it a point to book just enough weddings per year so I can take the time for not being all about work and deadlines, let’s laugh a little!

In three words: Collaborative, Organized, Reassuring

    Marie is amazing I was looking for a Day of Coordinator and talked with a few vendors before deciding to go with Ever After Weddings. Marie was wonderful every step of the way. She checked in along the way to see how planning was going and I was able to bounce ideas around with her. She was organized and verified that all details were taken care of before the wedding. She and her daughter Savannah were both present the day of the wedding and we were actually ahead of schedule and had downtime before the ceremony started. How often do you hear about that happening? It was such a relaxing and exciting day. I liked that Ever After Weddings was a smaller company and was able to give a more personalized experience. I highly recommend this company. Sent

    Marie was amazing throughout the entire process! She was extremely professional with the balance of tasteful/fantastic recommendations and ideas and making us feel like everything was under control. She was so supportive and genuine in her love for the job and her couples. I couldn’t have made it through the day without her. She made everything seamless and calm. What more could you ask for. I would recommend anyone who wants a gorgeous and flawless day to call Maire!

    Ever After Wedding by design is amazing!!! We wanted a "heavenly wedding" & that's what we received. They worked with us on our wedding for over 9 months. They were very patient and passionate to make our vision come true. Very reasonable prices & very responsive. I would highly recommend them especially for large events.
