Dear friends,
Over the past 20 months, life has brought unexpected challenges and deep personal loss. Most recently, I said goodbye to my beloved mother — a profound and heart-wrenching moment that has reshaped everything.
As I continue to navigate this time of grief, I’ve made the decision not to take on any events for the immediate future. I’ll still be sharing moments from past celebrations that hold special meaning, but my focus for now is on healing and being present with my family.
Thank you for your understanding and kindness during this time.
With love and gratitude,
Marina

Life has a way of shifting our plans, and while I had hoped to fully return, circumstances require me to take things slower than expected. I will still be taking on a very limited number of events while also sharing beautiful moments from past celebrations.
Thank you for your continued love and support — it truly means the world. 🙏
Warmly,
Marina

Dear Friends,
After a period of absence from social media due to a personal health-related situation involving a loved one, I’m relieved and grateful to share that we’ve received encouraging news. With this positive turn, I’m ready to return to what I’m passionate about — planning and curating memorable events for you.
Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of some truly beautiful celebrations, and I’m excited to start sharing those memories with you once again.
As we move forward, Concept Events Planning will be taking on a limited number of events to ensure that each one receives the attention and care it deserves.
Thank you all for the continued positive vibes and support during this time. It means the world to me. Please keep sending the love — it’s felt and appreciated more than you know. 🙏
Warmly,
Marina
