She worked well under pressure, kept me calm, and made sure I embraced my wedding day to the absolute fullest. I don’t think anyone could top her and her team in the Northern California region! Marissa is such a beautiful light, inside and out, and we were so lucky to work with her. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
“Thanks to Marissa, our wedding day was perfect from start to finish!”
Her creative input added a layer of beauty to our wedding that we couldn't have achieved on our own. On the actual wedding day, she anticipated our needs, stayed ahead of the schedule, and ensured that every detail was in place. She took our vision and brought it to life in a way that left us and our guests in awe.
“We immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Marissa.”
Marissa and her team made sure our wedding day was the best day of our lives. The attention to detail and checklists she provided made our hearts happy and at ease and our wedding day went off without any issues. We could not have done this all without the help and execution of Meant 2 Bee Events and we will forever be grateful.
“My only regret is that we didn't book Marissa sooner!"
She had the best choices, the best vision, the best advice, and the most amazing heart. She went above and beyond to put everything together exactly as we pictured it. To say we're grateful, is a complete understatement and I don’t know what we would have done without her.
“Marissa was the magic behind every single detail on our wedding day!”

Once your date is booked, we’ll dive right in with a planning kickoff call. This is where we’ll review your vision, priorities, aesthetic, and any vendors you’ve already secured. From there, we’ll build a detailed timeline so we’re ready to get the (planning) party started!
We start with a complimentary consultation to get to know each other. You’ll tell us all about your dream day, what you’ve already planned (if anything!), and how we can support you best. After the call, we send over a customized contract. If we clicked and you’re all in, simply submit your signed contract and retainer to officially save your date.
From rehearsal to reception, we’re on-site making sure everything runs smoothly. While you hit the dance floor and sip champagne, we’re behind the scenes making sure everything is executed flawlessly. At the end of the night, we'll tie up any loose ends so you can enjoy every. single. moment.
With the foundation set, we work our magic to bring your vision to life. Depending on your package, this could include everything from designing your event aesthetic to booking your dream team of vendors. As your date gets closer, we’ll tighten the timeline, double-check every detail, and keep everything moving—so you can skip the stress and focus on the fun.
Her talent, knowledge, connections, confidence, and experience were apparent from the start. As two busy and stressed brides, we had a lot of questions and last-minute ideas. Marissa never missed a beat, took care of the details, and continued to reassure us throughout the whole process. My only regret is not booking Marissa earlier!
From the get-go, she was organized and responsive, even helping us keep track of vendors, budgets, and everything else we needed for the wedding. Throughout the entire wedding day, she even went above and beyond and made sure we were both well taken care of. In short, Marissa is AMAZING and exactly what everyone needs in a planner!
Thanks to Marissa’s help, we had time to greet all of our guests, dance, eat, and enjoy the night together as newlyweds. When we say it was the 'best day ever,' it’s truly because we had Marissa by our side. We will recommend her to anyone we know getting married. Hire her—you won't regret it!
From the minute we booked her, Marissa was my rock. She was always quick to communicate, kept us on track and on budget, and made our wedding feel completely seamless and stress-free. She handled unexpected situations like a champ and was the perfect person to bring our wedding vision to life. Just book her—you won't regret it!
We’re your people!
