Everything Just Fell Into Place
Hiring Marisa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She made the whole day feel so easy and stress-free, and we never had to worry about what was happening because she always had everything under control. She was organized, kind, and so easy to work with. We were able to actually enjoy our wedding, be present with our family and friends, and soak in every moment instead of stressing over the little things. We truly had the best day, and we’re so grateful she was a part of it. I would absolutely recommend Marisa to any couple looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to make your wedding day run smoothly. Thank you again for everything!
Marisa Furlong•Jul 14, 2026Isabel, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It truly means the world to me that you trusted me to be part of such an important day in your lives. My greatest goal is always to allow my couples to be fully present to soak in every moment with the people they love while I take care of everything happening behind the scenes. Knowing you felt that sense of peace and were able to simply enjoy your wedding is the best compliment I could ever receive. It was such an honor celebrating with you and Jeff, and I’m so grateful to have been part of your story. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable adventures together. Thank you again for trusting I DO Need You with your wedding day.

Never stops working for what YOU want!
Working with I DO Need You was such a relief from start to finish. Our planner communicated with us in a straightforward way and always got back to us quickly, which made the whole process feel less stressful. She truly listened to what we wanted and helped us create the wedding of our dreams without any confusion about what was happening next. When problems came up, she fixed them before we even had to worry about it. Her attention to detail and professional approach made our day feel personal and special. We felt taken care of the entire time, and we can't recommend her enough.

Marisa was incredible! We cant recommend her enough!! We “hired” her a year out and she was checking in periodically, which helped me as a first time bride. During my wedding weekend she removed ALL the stress, went above and beyond- but ultimately became like family. Marisa and her team were professional, great to work with, and very supportive.
