Marissa proved over and over that she was the most capable person I’ve ever worked with. She foresaw everything that I could possibly need and handle every issue as it arose. She has a knack for understanding people and making you feel like you are incredibly important and the only thing that matters in that moment. She goes above and beyond what’s expected from a coordinator, and has a multitude of resources to make sure you have everything that you need on your big day. I could not recommend somebody more.
