    Merrie did a fantastic job setting up our reception and ceremony, really brought our mental image to life we were very happy with her work. Only a third of the appetizers made it to the cocktail hour and we did have to get a new wedding certificate due tio the circling to show where the witnesses and ordained person should sign but despite some mishaps the day went perfect and we appreciated her help

    Hello Ana, Thank you for your review. I wanted to address your comments. First, I'm grateful for your kind words about the setup. Your wedding was truly beautiful, and it was a joy to be part of it. Regarding the appetizers, we brought out as many as the table could accommodate and refilled it as needed. You had such a generous selection of appetizers! Even as dinner began, there were still many left, which we set aside and saved for you. As for the circled spaces on the marriage license, I don't know who made those marks. I did notice them and mentioned it at the time. As an ordained Officiant, I am fully aware of the regulations: you cannot make any marks outside the designated boxes, nor can you make corrections or write over anything to change it. I was as surprised as you to see those circled spaces. I'm glad you felt the day went perfectly. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness and joy! Warmest wishes, Merrie
  • Absolute nightmare - proceed with caution.

    I really don't know where to begin with this review. I've left detailed reviews on other platforms, so will stick with the facts here and keep it brief: Merrie knows what she is doing, but good luck getting her to actually follow through on what she says she'll do. We hired her for full service planning, and I ended up doing 90% of the work. That right there would maybe put her at 3 stars. But she actively made mistakes and lied and gaslit us on several occasions. Just some more facts: she was out of touch with our venue for the 5 months preceding the wedding. She never actually booked our rehearsal lunch venue - we found out about 2 weeks before the wedding - and she was nowhere to be found as we scrambled to find a place to feed 30 people. She lied about having sent our timeline to vendors (we called each one to confirm they had not received it) and then claimed it must have gone into their spam folders. Eventually, she took the detailed agenda I created and sent it to them -- but we had already taken care of it. This was about a week before the wedding. I was incredibly stressed and had to take a full 2 weeks off work to clean up her mess. Don't make the same mistake as us. As a day-of or month-of coordinator, or as an officiant, she might be fine; but as a full-service planner, she was a disaster and unprofessional at that.

    I don't know what to say except this is all misinformation. I don't want to say anything negative here...so I won't. Please read all my other reviews and know that we take very good care of our clients. I wish Arielle nothing but good things.

    My experience with Merrie with silver and sage wedding …. What really can’t I say? Merrie and I have been together a year planning the most perfect day of my life … and unfortunately the perfect day that we have been planning for a whole year crumbled right in front of our very eyes.. exactly two months before my wedding day the venue that I found canceled on me.. Merrie gave me a phone call the day after I sent my wedding invitations out and let me know that the venue that we have been going back and forth with ruined my wedding day.. I mention this because Merrie and I created a bond, a mother daughter bond.. that phone call we cried together and she was on the phone the next day helping me try and find a new venue for the same day !! In October one of the busiest months for a wedding .. and we did it ! Merrie was dealing with the ultimate bridezilla (myself) and she executed my vision perfectly .. she really did pull my wedding together when I was about to call the whole wedding off… Merrie was on my butt about getting my stuff handled !! (WHICH EVERY BRIDE NEEDS A MERRIE TO PINCH THEM IN THE BUTT TO GET THE BALL ROLLING))) her staff was beautiful and made sure on my wedding day that I didn’t lift a finger … I had to fire a bartender the night before (different company) and Merrie was on the phone at 9:00pm the night before and found a bartender!! Who else would do that?? Overall Merrie was fantastic seriously 10/10 I would recommend her and her team 10000% I seriously am so grateful for her and I really don’t know how she handled me! (The craziest bride out there I’m sure)) I love her and her team so much I couldn’t have had this wedding without Merrie.. trust me you will go through every emotion planning a wedding and Merrie was so much more than a wedding planner .. like I said before she creates a mother daughter bond that every bride needs in such a high stress time in their life!

    Maddie....I am sitting here with tears in my eyes (again!). Thank you for this beautiful review. Our year was truly full of highs and lows and I loved every moment working with you. Thank you for letting me be there. Watching you walk down the aisle and dance all night long was one of the biggest moment s of my career. I wish you love, joy, success, and all the things you dream of!

    Merrie is absolutely wonderful to work with and brought my vision to life! She was so professional and caring throughout the entire process and made my night extremely smooth and easy. She was so helpful and thoughtful in everything she did. Thank you Merrie!!
