“We cannot recommend Sarah of Petal and Pine highly enough! Planning our Maine wedding from Colorado meant booking our venue and all vendors sight unseen, which naturally came with some anxiety. Sarah absolutely exceeded our expectations and went far beyond typical day-of coordination. Our venue was unfamiliar to her, so she took the initiative to stay there overnight with her husband about a month before our wedding - on her own time and dime - to fully understand the space and logistics. She made the trip from Portland (about an hour away) to meet with us at the venue, which was invaluable for our peace of mind. She also coordinated our rehearsal the day before, ensuring everyone knew exactly what to expect. She even allowed us to ship items to her home for storage prior to the wedding weekend and met us a few days before to ensure we picked everything up. On the wedding day itself, Sarah’s calming presence was exactly what we needed. While we were worried about all the moving parts and vendor coordination, she executed everything flawlessly. Her organizational skills were exceptional - she shared detailed schedules with all our vendors in advance and managed every detail with grace and confidence. Sarah made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless. We would absolutely use her services again and recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in Maine, especially those coordinating from out of state!”

“Words cannot express how amazing Jazmine and her team are. We got married at my families Christmas Tree Farm (not a wedding venue) and worked closely with Jazmine the entire year leading up to the wedding. We turned a backyard wedding into a venue, and this is all thanks to Jazmine and her team. Every. Single. Detail. Was executed to perfection.

Jazmine and her team are hardworking, caring, and dedicated to making your dream day come true. In my opinion, the most important thing about Jazmine is: she isn’t just another wedding vendor to keep tabs on. SHE is the one holding other vendors accountable. SHE is the emotional support on your big day. SHE is the calmness I needed when everything was coming together, but also a little stressful. I am so thankful for our vendor team, but especially Jazmine and her team who flawlessly executed our wedding day.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“At first, I was skeptical of hiring a day of coordinator as I am very organized and was pretty comfortable planning our day on my own. My main reason for hiring a day of coordinator was to not have to worry, to have someone who will help set-up things the way I would, and someone who I can count on to have all the answers for everyone else. Ayden went above and beyond. She is so calm and put together, she helped me more than I can put into words! We had a large wedding of 160 people with a good amount of intricate details. We also had rain that caused our entire ceremony to be switched a few hours before the start time. Ayden handled everything seamlessly. I seriously could not recommend her enough. She made sure my husband and I got wedding cake and extra dessert brought to our room with water for us at the end of the night. She is extremely kind and knowledgeable but encourages you to give your opinions and speak up. I also appreciated that Ayden had to make some executive decisions on her own like moving our LED sign where there wasn't a plug how I originally wanted it, she didn't stress me out with this question, she just handled it and made everything look amazing. I could not recommend her enough, we were so lucky to work with Ayden. I wish we could relive our wedding all over again with Ayden's help!”

Hi, I’m Tiffany, owner and lead coordinator of Envisioned Event Planning. I believe you should get to experience the wedding you’ve spent so much time planning, not spend the day managing it. I’m the person thinking three steps ahead, keeping an eye on the timeline, answering vendor questions, and handling the little things before they ever become your problem. My approach is calm, organized, and people-first. Whether you’ve planned every detail yourself or want more support along the way, I step in where you need me so you can carry less and be fully present for the moments that matter.

“We had the opportunity to work with Tiffany of Envisioned Event Planning on several community events, and her organization and attention to detail made such a difference. Tiffany has a way of seeing all the moving pieces of an event and making sure nothing gets missed. She kept things organized, communicated clearly, helped coordinate volunteers and logistics, and was always thinking a few steps ahead. When something unexpected came up, she handled it calmly and found a solution without adding stress for everyone else. One of the things we appreciated most was being able to focus on the event and the people attending it instead of constantly worrying about what needed to happen next. Tiffany is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about creating an experience that feels well managed for both the hosts and their guests.

“Initially I intended to plan all of my wedding on my own - and in many ways I did. We were married at the Customs House in Portland, a venue that is a blankslate venue. As I neared the day however, I began to worry that there were aspects of the planning that I overlooked. I hired The Cosmos at their Month-of package level taking all of that worry out of the process. They took care of all of the things I did miss - called out that there was no plan for trash receptacles, revised the number of glasses rented, added bathroom attendants, adjusted the number of staff etc, but an unexpected element (and maybe the most important) is that they helped me to manage difficult family members. They figured out that this is where a lot of my stress was coming from. I was so grateful to their team for minimizing overall stress. I highly recommend!”

Every wedding I plan is approached with the same care, consideration, and attention I would give if it belonged to someone I love.

Danielle made everything feel effortless. We were working with a strict budget, and she helped us maximize every dollar without compromising on our vision. Her communication was clear, and consistent, removing of the stress and uncertainty that often comes with planning a wedding. Midway through our planning, Danielle received an exciting opportunity at a new venue. While I was thrilled for her, I couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous about what that might mean for us. But Danielle’s dedication is truly unmatched—despite having started a new role, she returned to oversee our wedding day and stayed through the entire evening. We were beyond grateful for her loyalty and support. One of my favorite memories from the day (besides marrying my husband, of course!) was when Danielle pulled us aside before the reception to see the reception space fully set up. The countless boxes of candles and decor I had dropped off the night before had been transformed into something so magical. The room took my breath away—I was instantly in tears. All those months of planning and dreaming had come to life more beautifully than I ever imagined. Thanks to Danielle, I had the perfect wedding day. She is fun, knowledgeable, flexible, incredibly talented, and wholeheartedly committed to her couples. We feel so lucky to have found her.”

“Katelynn made the planning of our wedding a pleasure. She was organized, always upbeat, has a great network, excellent ideas, yet not afraid to push back when needed. She kept the process moving along which allowed us to mostly enjoy the whole thing. She set us up for an amazing wedding, more beautiful than we could have even imagined. We loved working with her and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“My husband, Chris, and I were fortunate enough to book with MB Events almost two years out from our wedding date of July 19, 2025. We love telling everyone that working with Marissa was the 2nd best decision we made (other than marrying each other, of course!!) Throughout the inevitable chaos of wedding planning, Marissa was our rock. She kept us on track with timelines and payments, managed communication with nearly 10 vendors at once, and helped bring our entire wedding vision to life. She truly has “the eye” — something Chris and I lack — making her guidance that much more invaluable when crafting our mood board and creating the overall design for wedding day. Her dedication, hard work and care never went unnoticed and we even had guests come up to us that night saying how amazing her team is! Every hiccup was handled with grace and professionalism, allowing our day to run as smoothly as possible (and it did!) If you choose to hire Marissa, just know you are not just hiring a planner but also gaining a friend and member of the family. Working with her over the last two years has been a blessing and more, and we owe so much of the joy we felt on wedding day to her. THANK YOU Marissa and MB events! We love you!”

“Victoria has a real talent - she is professional, thorough, has a sharp eye for detail, and above all, she is empathetic and kind. It was such a relief for me to put my trust in her on my wedding day - it made me more present and able to live in the moment because I knew whatever happened, she’d be there! From setting up the reception area to making sure I always had a drink in my hand, she was there for me. It was great to bounce ideas off of her in the wedding planning process, and everything came together flawlessly. I truly couldn’t have done it without her.”

“Lauren far exceeded our expectations of a wedding coordinator and we could not be happier with our experience with her. As a fairly organized couple, we were not sure how much help we would need from a day-of coordinator, but working with Lauren for the month leading up to our wedding was the best wedding expense we paid for. Lauren fully took over all of our vendor relationships and communications and helped us organize every last detail leading up to the big day. Lauren was so easy to work with, super responsive, knew exactly which questions to ask, and exuded confidence in a very pleasant way. It was so nice waking up on our wedding day fully trusting that Lauren would be there to handle everything that the day entailed. The day ran flawlessly and we attribute its perfection to Lauren!”
