How is it possible that this was 15 years ago?
Was such a beautiful wedding and, as always, honored to be a part of the planning!

This is more of a Marissa 'expert' post over a Marissa 'wedding planner' post.
Many of my colleagues and planners say they prefer a over a belt bag (I call it a f***y pack, but that's me 🤣😂)
If you know me on a personal level, I don't spend a ton on purses. I'm more of a but my first big purse purchase was the summer of 98, and it was a Kate Spade tote. I was very sad when Kate Spade passed after battling depression and if I can share this deal, her crossbody bags are $280 OFF. They come in awesome colors, but I am showing black and brown.

Happy Shopping!
Happy Planning!

On a roll!

Here are the Bennett sisters. I planned/coordinated all three weddings, and it was an honor to get to know then and their wonderful mom. This family and getting to know them, is just an example of the gift it is to love what you do. The hours we spend working take up most of our (awake!) lives. Choosing a career that brings you joy is such a privilege, and I have my clients to thank for that
