Marissa was truly a lifesaver wrapped in a breath of fresh air.
I was under 3 weeks out from my wedding and things quite literally were falling apart left and right, including my original day-of coordinator. I met Marissa over Zoom and she immediately put me at ease. She asked for all the details I had up to that point and just ran with it. I was getting emails from vendors saying that they had met with Marissa, without me asking her to, and that everything was moving along smoothly. When she showed up on the wedding day, she once again, took control and addressed any concerns I had throughout the day. I truly can't recommend Marissa enough for your special day. She's certainly worth the investment!

Flawless Execution!
My husband and I have known Marissa since childhood and knew from day one she was the person we could trust to help us coordinate our big day! As with most weddings, we had a lot of moving pieces with numerous people, venues and vendors involved, and Marissa was the glue that held everything together. Her organization skills and attention to detail were key to ensuring everything and everyone was in place when and where they needed to be. She oversaw everything from vendor logistics, to decor details, to wedding party preparation, all without missing a beat. Not only is she confident and professional, but she is kind and supportive which is the perfect recipe for who you want by your side on your wedding day! We were able to relax and enjoy every special moment of our day because of Marissa. We cannot thank her enough!

Helped execute the wedding of my dreams
“So thankful we had Marissa throughout the process of planning our wedding. We booked Marissa as our “month of planner” but she far beyond that. From the start she had a wedding checklist and timeline of how far along we should be in our planning and a list of things to make sure we had checked off 9-12 months out. Her knowledge of the wedding industry was invaluable, especially having worked previously for our wedding venue! She is professional, responsive, and had an excellent creative eye. She helped us execute our perfect wedding weekend without a single glitch, and if there was one, we had no idea about it! At the end of the night, she had packed up all the items we had dropped off to our venues even brought us leftovers to have for a late night snack. Thank you Marissa!”

Wonderful! Organized and keeps her cool under pressure!
Marissa was amazing -- she took care of all of the little things before the wedding so I didn't have to stress about them, and was clutch on the wedding day. I didn't have to worry about anything -- she dealt with all of the details that day, including any troubleshooting that always pops up so I could enjoy my wedding day. There are so many back-end details that I know she took care of that I didn't see -- which is the point! The day went flawlessly because of her attention to detail!

So thankful for Marissa!
Marissa was exactly the helping hand we needed for our wedding! We chose a less conventional venue (restaurant that hadn't had a large wedding before) so I knew early on I wanted a professional to help us ensure the day ran smoothly. Marissa's experience made her a great resource for advice leading up to the wedding even before her official day-of-coordinator services fully kicked off. When it came to wedding month she was so organized, professional, and a positive influence when things felt a little overwhelming! When we struggled with communicating our wishes with our venue Marissa stepped in and everything came out just as we hoped. I even saw her during the reception working to correct any issues all without making me need to worry. We were so grateful for the help and support Marissa provided to make our wedding amazing!

Amazing wedding day
Marissa made sure our wedding day was perfect. She was so on top of every detail throughout the night and everything ran on time thanks to her. She remains so calm and adds so much positivity to your day.
Marissa is truly a professional and expert in weddings and I am so grateful we chose to have her as our day of coordinator. I would 100% recommend Marissa if you want to enjoy your wedding stress free. You will be in great hands!

Amazing Planner!!
Marissa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, organized, and enjoyable to be around - it felt like I had another long-time friend with me on the wedding day. When different stressors arose (contractual issues, missing welcome boxes, wardrobe mishaps), Marissa handled it with ease and confidence. My mother and I were so grateful for how she advocated for us, kept vendors organized and on task, and alleviated all of our stress during the planning process and day of. She has worked in the industry for a long time, so she has wonderful insight and advice to offer. Marissa is also incredibly thoughtful; when my husband and I came back to our hotel suite the night of the wedding we found slices of wedding cake on each nightstand, our food from the caterer in the fridge, and our miscellaneous wedding items organized and hung up. She truly went above and beyond for us and we can't recommend her enough!

The wedding planner arguably has the most important and challenging job of your special day, and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Marissa Pedone. Marissa’s professionalism, kindness, and talent perfectly blended with our personalities, and she had the ability to put our planning jitters at ease with her style.
Our photographer captured a photo of the exact moment we had this conversation about Marissa. As we were admiring the smiles on our guests’ faces and taking a moment for ourselves to savor the memories, we both said how choosing Marissa was our best decision for the day, besides saying “I do.”

Marissa made our wedding day a breeze!
Marissa was an incredible day-of coordinator and would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to be proactive, punctual, extremely communicative and incredibly easy to work with! She made sure every piece of our wedding went smoothly, on time and as we expected and planned. If anything went wrong at our wedding (and I don't think anything did), we had NO idea because Marissa handled it for us. She kept us running on schedule and even went out of her way to bring our bridal party flowers from the venue to our getting ready location. She helped ensure gifts were stored away safely, gathered everything for us to take home with us at the end of the night, and so much more. Thank you Marissa!

Could not recommend more highly!
One of the best decisions we made as part of the planning process for our big day was the decision to work with Marissa as our day of planner. Marissa was such an integral part of making our wedding day so seamless and so special! We are so thankful!
Marissa was involved starting a few months out from the big day. Through what could have been a stressful and overwhelming time, we were so thankful to be able to leverage Marissa's knowledge and experience. Marissa has been working in the wedding industry for years, and her experience was evident even from our first call with her. Her attention to detail, professionalism, thoughtfulness, and patience make her fantastic at what she does! She helped to keep our vendors and us on track and organized in the days and weeks leading up to our wedding and made sure everyone was on time and where they needed to be on the big day. We've been to a few weddings since ours, and I cannot stress enough how amazing it is to have a planner like Marissa by your side on your wedding day. We didn't have to worry about a thing! For anything that came up on our wedding day, Marissa was on top of it. Marissa was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend working with Marissa for your big day! She truly is the best!!

Excellent!
Marissa was an amazing day of coordinator for our wedding @ the Harvard Art Museums. She was so thoughtful, calm throughout everything and such an absolute pleasure. She kept our families calm and on task and made everyone feel like things were under control and taken care of. I truly cannot imagine our day going as well as it did without Marissa’s organization and composure. Would 100% recommend her to anyone planning a weeding. She is excellent and such a total pro.

Marissa is a complete miracle work of a wedding coordinator!
We signed our contract just under a month from the wedding date expecting we would need to compromise a lot due to the tight timeline. Marissa welcomed change.
She is amazingly personable, organized, and made our priorities her own priorities. Marissa’s professionalism and attention to detail is impeccable - she was on top of every Boston pandemic regulation, with back up plans prepared if necessary. She recommended vendors whose style aligned seamlessly with ours.
Our wedding was more beautiful than we ever imaged possible and the evening flowed perfectly! We are forever grateful!

Working with Marissa was a dream!
Having the right event planner and coordinator made everything a breeze. Throughout the planning process, Marissa was attentive, organized and resourceful.
On our wedding day we had absolutely nothing to stress about because Marissa was on it. Every little detail, every step of the way.
We couldn’t have asked for a better planner, and are so grateful we had her to help us throughout the wedding day. We would recommend her to absolutely anyone!
— Emily & Richard, Harvard Art Museums, April 2019
Perfect day!
Marissa was a critical aspect to my wedding day and ensured that here was no need for me to stress. She managed the timeline and flow of the day, from the speeches to the formal dances and made sure all the guests needs were anticipated.
My husband and I were never without a drink in our hands and didn’t miss out on any the apps from cocktail hour. I truly feel Marissa played a key role in making this day one to remember forever.

Our perfect day
The process of working with Marissa leading up to and on the day of our wedding was absolute perfection. Marissa had a unique way of easily being able to understand our vision and help bring it to life.
No detail was overlooked in the planning process, and the actual wedding day was flawless. All I remember about our wedding day was the pure happiness and perfection - and I know that we were able to focus on the celebration because we could be assured that EVERY detail was attended to.
We know that our special day was only possible because of the hard work of Marissa & team!
Marissa is also an exceptionally kind and fun person - the kind of person you want to spend hours with planning a wedding! We cannot recommend her highly enough, as she has the experience and abilities to pull of the perfect event in a variety of venues and price points!
We will forever be thankful for her expertise and work to give us the wedding of our dreams.
