About Exclusive Personal Events

Exclusive Personal Events

Experience Your Wedding. We’ll Handle the Rest.

One decision always leads to another. That’s what makes wedding planning exciting, and why experience matters. Knowing what you’re choosing is one thing. Understanding how it all works together is what makes the difference. We’ll help you think ahead, make confident decisions, and keep every piece moving in the right direction so you can be present for every moment.

I can't imagine doing anything else. I've wanted to plan and design weddings since I was a teenager, and every job, event, and experience along the way somehow pointed me in this direction. I've spent years in hospitality, events, catering, and celebrations of all kinds. The experience we bring doesn't come from reading about weddings. It comes from being in the middle of them, solving problems, working long hours, and helping bring big ideas to life. At the end of the day, I just love what I do. Planning weddings is my art, and there's nothing better than watching it all come together.

In three words: Confident, Fun, Organized

    Marilane Made Our Wedding Perfect!

    Marilane was the best planner we could have ever asked for at our Key West wedding! Her attention to detail was impeccable and she didn’t miss a single thing. She was amazing and communication and kept the wedding on track throughout the entire process. Not only was she an awesome planner but you can tell from her personality that she is truly an amazing person! We are so grateful to have worked with her over the past 6 months and our wedding turned out to be the most perfect day thanks to her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get married in the Keys. She is truly the best!

    Hands Down The Best

    We are a couple from the DMV area who were looking to pull off a destination wedding in South Florida with a number of personalized DIY touches. While we had a wedding planner already, we were looking to leverage DIY decor and florals but ran into challenges with storage, set up, and tear down. Our planner recommended talking to Marilane, who ended up being an amazing resource and vendor to work with. I (the bride) have worked with a luxury wedding planner for ten years and my husband is a detailed project manager. We know the difference between someone who checks boxes and someone who is mentally thoughtful and proactive, making impactful suggestions to the underlying vision. She was able to flawlessly understand and scope that we were looking to do and everything was executed well by her team on the day of. I went from wondering how we were doing to pull this off to looking forward to seeing the dream come together in real life! of the planners we consulted with do not do design work, but Mari has a good eye for logistical flow and design. She is responsive, organized, and will work with your venue on all aspects of decor. Several times she helped suggest what to order and gave me peace that I wasn't blindly putting pieces together. Everything looked beautiful on the day of and as requested. When something came in and wasn't quite right, she messaged me and researched solutions right away. And when there was a slight emergency with the venue during our reception, she jumped into action and solved it quickly. Cannot recommend her enough. You will be in top tier hands.

    Elizabeth, wow—thank you so much for such a sweet and thoughtful review! It truly means the world to me. Working with you was a joy, and I’m so happy I could help bring your vision to life. I could tell from the start how much thought and love you put into every detail, and it was amazing to be part of making it all happen. I’m especially touched that you felt supported and at ease—I always want my couples to enjoy their day without worry, and seeing everything come together for you both was the best feeling! Thank you again for letting me be part of such a special day, and I wish you both happiness in this next chapter! Big hugs, Marilane

We offer month-of coordination, full planning, and partial planning in the Florida Keys and South Florida. For micro weddings, we also provide private chef services to create an intimate dining experience.
Our pricing depends on your plans. For example, an intimate beach wedding with a relaxed vibe will cost less than a big, glamorous event during peak season. We also consider guest count, time of year, and how much support you need.
Yes! You can check out reviews from past clients on both Google and Thumbtack to see what they’ve had to say about working with us.
We make booking simple and seamless through HoneyBook, a cloud-based platform that handles everything from brochures and proposals to contracts. It’s an all-in-one solution that keeps things organized and secure. Once we’ve discussed your event, I’ll send you a custom proposal, and you can review, sign, and make payments—all online and hassle-free. You’ll have access to everything in one place, with secure payment options for peace of mind.
I’m all about the details! I believe that thorough communication is key, so I make sure every part of your event is covered and well thought out. I love diving into the specifics, because as a wedding planner, being detail-oriented is essential. My goal is to keep you informed and stress-free, so everything flows smoothly from start to finish.
It’s best to book as soon as possible! I take bookings up to a year and a half in advance, and popular dates can fill up quickly. The earlier we start, the more options you’ll have for your special day.
That’s a great question! While all payments are nonrefundable, I do offer flexibility. If something comes up, you can reschedule your event as long as I’m available, and you’ll have up to a year to pick a new date that works for you.
Absolutely, we definitely can! Whether it’s a small gathering or something that’s come together last-minute, we’re here to help make it happen smoothly. We love working on intimate events and are always ready to jump in when time is tight.
As your planner, my goal is to handle any challenges or difficult vendors behind the scenes, so you can focus on enjoying your day. I work hard to resolve any issues quickly and calmly. If something requires your input, I’ll bring it to you at the right moment, in the most stress-free way possible. We’re all about staying positive and finding solutions to keep everything on track for your perfect day.
