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

    "Words cannot express how extremely happy we are with Ever After Weddings by Design. Marie went above and beyond our expectations. I wanted my wedding to be a perfect day and that is exactly what I got, an absolutely beautiful and amazing wedding! Marie worked with me for weeks planning the big day and was always available to me! Her attention to detail and her personal touch was top notch which made our planning experience less stressful as a lot of people said it would be! Thank you so much Marie and Ever After Weddings by Design."
