About M&J Weddings and Events

M&J Weddings and Events

Head Planner

I’m the lead planner behind M&J Weddings and Events, and I’m passionate about creating celebrations that feel effortless, personal, and beautifully organized. With years of experience and a calm, detail-driven approach, I guide couples through the planning process with clarity, support, and genuine care. My goal is simple: make your wedding day seamless so you can be fully present for the moments that matter.

What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and calm, detailed support I give every couple. I don’t just manage logistics—I anticipate needs, solve problems before they appear, and create an experience that feels organized, intentional, and genuinely cared for. My couples know they’re never alone in the process.

In three words: Confident, Organized, Supportive

    The ABSOLUTE BEST!

    From the very beginning, the communication with M&J Weddings and Events was effective and reliable. Marissa and her team took every bit of stress off of me, even when my venue was not the easiest to work with. Marissa made it so I didn't have to worry about a single thing - she always answered my questions promptly and if she didn't know the answer, she made sure to find out. The quality of their work and the value they provided was totally worth it. If you are considering hiring M&J Weddings and Events, this is your sign to just do it! Marissa is absolutely the best wedding planner I could have asked for.

    Experience

    Working alongside Marissa Shattuck has been such an absolute blast. She has a gift for turning a bride’s big day into a stress-free fairy tale, and getting to help her bring those moments to life has been nothing short of inspiring. Marissa’s eye for detail, calm presence, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable wedding days shine through in everything she does. Watching her work—guiding brides, solving problems before they ever arise, and keeping the day flowing seamlessly—has shown me just how special she is at what she does. If you want a coordinator who truly cares, who brings joy into every room, and who transforms wedding days into magical, effortless experiences… Marissa is the one.

We do! We can help plan any occasion from proposals, showers, rehearsal dinners and more!
As the lead planner, I am always looking to add new assistants to our team! All of our packages currently include myself and 1 assistant. Additional assistants can be added if we feel that your wedding may require more help or if we are on a tight timeframe.
We never take on multiple weddings in a day, but we may have 1-2 a weekend!
This will vary depending on the package chosen! Those who just need day of coordinating, we will start checking in with you about 8 weeks out from the wedding day while I'll higher packages can require monthly check ins or even more.
I have over 10 year's experience in wedding coordination, wedding planning, and venue management.
