We truly value our relationships with you and our vetted creative partners. We will work closely with you to create a customized event that reflect your own personality and style. Your wedding should be an expression of love you have for each other and those you love most. 

Our mission is to help you and your family create beautiful new memories that will last a lifetime! We will design your event to reflect who you are and take care of all the little details so you don’t have to.

Marsha and her team deserve 5 million stars. I was actually able to enjoy my wedding!  They really delivered! I didn't worry about a single thing all day and just got to enjoy all the special moments. Our wedding day would not have been the same if they weren't there. We are forever grateful they went above and beyond to make our day as special as possible. I will recommend Marsha and her team to everyone getting married!
