Reviews of Marrero Events (Event Planner)

Adam From Philadelphia

When my now-wife told me that she wanted to hire a wedding planner, my first thought was “what the hell do we need that for?” If you find that you are asking yourself that question, trust me, you need a wedding planner. Once you recognize that you need a planner, make the right choice and hire Paula and Marrero Events. First, Paula and her team take care of the unavoidable issues that will come up. I forgot my tux shirt and cuff links in the bride’s room – no problem. After arriving at the venue, we realized that we left the marriage license at her parent’s house – no problem. We got to the venue and noticed that the dance floor was a fraction of the size that it should have been – again, no problem. Every item that arose on the day of our wedding, Paula and her team took care of, allowing my wife and me to enjoy the moment and the party that we took a year putting together. Second, Paula takes the time to get to know you and your spouse-to-be. She understands that there are different personalities coming into the equation, along with different traditions and cultures. She takes your vision as her own and helps you put together YOUR wedding, not A wedding. Third, and I cannot stress this enough, she got my wife (who has the quintessential Type-A personality) to relax. I don’t care how laid back and relaxed a couple you are – everybody is going to feel stress leading up to the wedding. Leading up to our wedding, Paula forced my wife and her mother to relinquish control of certain projects. Both of them thanked her for doing so. Paula and her team are willing to take the weight and stress of the wedding planning process completely off of your shoulders. And she will do so for an exceptionally fair price. Hire Paula and Marrero Events. You will not be sorry.

Where to even begin! My husband and I spent hours researching venues from out of state and had more questions then answers! We called Paula thinking we were just going to ask some questions and continue on our searching! From the first 5 minutes of the call we knew we had to work with her. She answered all of our MILLIONS of questions and we felt like we had been talking with a friend we had known for years! Paula made the best connections for us and our vendors, she was spot on with her recommendations and knew the types of vendors we would want to work with! Her staff is also amazingly professional and are all super quick to answer questions -- again we had a lot - and help us research anything we needed more information on! We got married on one of the Boston Harbor Islands, which took quite a bit of logistics. I never felt an ounce of stress throughout the entire process because I had full confidence in Paula and her team. It was amazing to have them there on the day of because I could completely relax and take in all of the special moments of the day! And again, it felt like having a trusted friend by my side through the whole thing! Hire Paula if you want to get the most out of your wedding day and the process leading up. She knows exactly what you need to get you from your clueless days of combing wedding websites to walking down the isle of your dream wedding! You will not regret anything about working with Marrero Events!

Paula and her team were lifesavers and I can't recommend them highly enough! It was during our food tasting with our caterer when we were asked if we considered a wedding coordinator. Up to that point, we hadn't but we could see the value of having someone on site the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly so we quickly did some research. We interviewed four planners and after our first call with Paula, we knew she was the one we wanted to work with. She stood out heads and shoulders above the others and we clicked with her instantly on the phone. Throughout the process, she was so organized, reassuring and willing to help with every little detail. She has tons of connections in the industry and was always able to make excellent suggestions or recommendations when asked. On the day of our wedding, we were able to enjoy it worry free because we knew we had the A team running point on the details. We loved our wedding and we largely attribute it to Paula and team. They are so easy to work with and will go the extra mile to make the day special. I would hire Paula again in a heartbeat!!!

We weren't even sure we needed a wedding planner, but after our first conversation with Paula Marrero we realized we couldn't get by without her! Thank you from both of us for making our wedding weekend perfect!

What can I say. Plain and simple our wedding could not have been possible without Paula and her team. My husband and I knew we needed help to make our special day happen, but I was also nervous about how to find a planner. I didnt want to find someone to help us who would just in a way add more stress and pressure to the process. By fate a family friend suggested Paula and we subsequently discovered how well we meshed. Paula is kind, efficient, and just a beautiful soul all around. She kept us on track, was there for advice, and made the process very easy, all while assuring us not to worry or stress, and keeping us excited for our big day. There were many times when I would panic and feel loads of anxiety, only to talk with Paula and leave the conversation relieved and assured everything was going as it should be. In the end our wedding was everything we could have every imagined. There was nothing left unthought of and Paula and her team, along with the other vendors left 0 worries for us. My husband and I were joking that we never felt so VIP and special in our lives. We cant recommend Paula enough!

If you’re even considering a wedding planner, look no further! Words cannot even describe Paula and her team. The level of professionalism they exemplify is rare and I am so sad to have ended our planning process because I enjoyed it so much (Not many people can say that). Not only did Paula and her team make the process SO easy but by my wedding week, everyone was truly concerned that I wasn’t stressed out. Why be stressed when you have complete confidence that your wedding planner will execute your vision perfectly. Paula was the very best support, inner voice and guide throughout this special, yet potentially overwhelming process. The moment we first spoke on the phone two years ago, I knew we were going to work well together as she is a very knowledgeable, confident and a genuinely caring person. Paula and her team worked endlessly to make sure everything goes smoothly and because they are so organized; we always talk about plan As and plan Bs to plan ahead for things. FINALLY, what other wedding planner is willing to corset two white wedding dresses in 5 minutes and help with 4 total outfit changes in 1 day. I need not say more…you will not be disappointed with Marrero Events, I have truly gained a friend throughout the process and am so happy with the outcome so I am confident you will be as well. Happy wedding planning. Photo credit to @zevfisherphotography, flowers by @karlacassidydesigns

Hiring Paula was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. We had a hard-to-work-with situation where we lived across the country from the location of the wedding, and also only started planning with about 4 months of time before our wedding date. Paula took care of *everything* - not only did the entire event run completely smoothly, sight unseen, but we were blown away by every single vendor she suggested. From the venue itself to the caterer to the band to even the wedding cake, we got so many specific compliments and questions about how we found X or Y vendor from our guests well into the next month after our wedding was over. We could have counted one or two outstanding vendors as lucky, but when they were so consistently stellar across the board, it was so obvious that it was thanks to Paula's expertise and experience... there is absolutely no way we could have planned a wedding even half as good as this by ourselves. Paula walked us through every detail, handled every outside interaction, responded to every question and even anticipated so many that we didn't even know to ask... We still cannot believe just how perfect we truly felt the wedding turned out - you definitely won't regret hiring Paula for yours!

Paula Marrero and the entire Marrero Event team are true professionals in every sense of the word. As the Mother of the Bride of an only daughter, I wanted to enjoy every moment of the wedding day and not spend it managing vendors and all the details. Paula and her team were instrumental in ensuring that everything was as near perfect as possible! Paula is lovely to work with as she listens before offering her sage advice and then will look for the solution until the issue is resolved. Paula’s relationships with vendors is stellar and she is able to navigate through situations with the greatest of ease! The wedding celebration was simply divine and our guests and most importantly, the bride and groom, enjoyed themselves thoroughly! We are still talking about it a month later! We are thankful and grateful to Paula and her team.
