She was informative and kind. She did not have to take the time out and bless me with knowledge but she did. I know for a fact when I have my big fairytale wedding she us who I’m going to. I’m sure whoever books her would not be disappointed.

Tiffany Young (SincerelyUrsTSY): Our wedding day would not have been the dream it was without Crystal. I literally had my dream wedding and it was executed because I had my wedding planner by my side. If you want someone to make sure your day goes smoothly, do yourself a favor and hire Crystal Marie. She definitely had my back! Best wedding planner ever!

Lakeita Pyfrom: I've worked with Crystal on several of her events. She is very detailed oriented, awesome communication and easy to work with. She provides world-class service by using nothing but quality vendors. Rather you are local to her or doing a destination event she had you covered.

Mytia McNeal: I loved working with Crystal Marie! She and her team made the planning of my father’s 80th birthday celebration easy and stress free. I live out of state and worked with Crystal Marie remotely, but I was always able to contact her at any time. The decor of the event was based on the discussions during of our initial conversations, and when I saw the final results I was blown away! The entire event was flawless and fun! I’m so happy that you and your team were able to help me give my father a fabulous celebration of “Living His Dash”☺️

Christa Funk: Crystal Marie has strong event planning skills and is very knowledgeable! She had great vendor recommendations and helped us to execute an incredible event! I especially appreciated her ability to bring in other support staff and her day-of coordination was incredibly helpful!

Quentin Howell: My Team and I have had the pleasure of working with Crystal Marie on a couple of her engagements. She is very professional, creative, prompt, and client-oriented. If you are looking for an event planner who can take your ideas to the next level with a great artistic eye, Crystal Marie Events is your best choice.

Juanita Houston: Crystal Marie Events! Is it possible to give you 10 stars?!? I worked with Crystal to plan my graduation celebration. When I say her attention to detail is EVERYTHING! She thought of things I would have never imagined like including copies of my dissertation in the party decor. The decorations were absolutely gorgeous and all of my guests raved about the venue/food/dj/photographer. Crystal made this process seamless with minimal stress. I plan to use her again and again in the future. Crystal and her staff were personable, attentive, and creative. I didn't have to lift a finger and all of the vendors she recommended were professional and on point. I can't say enough about the beautiful event and the memories she helped to create.If you're a nervous planner who worries about things going well- trust me Crystal will take care of you.Crystal Marie you are the TRUTH sis!Peace

Rosalee W. Blalock: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueCrystal Marie is is your guru for all things events! She knows her stuff and does it well. I purchased her PowerHouse Planner book and it is very informative. I recommend it to anyone planning an event or those interested in the industry !

Wanda Bruce: Crystal Marie was such a delight to work with. She was very professional and on point with all questions and ideas. Although my mom’s 70th Birthday party got canceled due to COVID and Crystal did not get to showcase all of her decorating skills I would absolutely use her again In the future. After the party was canceled she continued to work with vendors to get my deposits back. Thanks Crystal Marie for meeting all of my expectation and beyond.

Abeni Ofunniyin: When my father passed away, my family and I soon realized, arranging a funeral in times of Covid was UNREAL, OVERWHELMING, and STRESSFUL. We had the details, we thought we knew who to call about what, but still it soon became too much. I made one phone call to Crystal and she could hear in my voice, I was losing it. I asked her what it would take for her to fly down and just "handle it" and she said, "I already booked my flight"! I literally started crying. That is not only professionalism, that is love. That is someone that knows what you need and is ready to help at every turn. She immediately (from Detroit) starting getting on the phone with event places in Charleston, SC to ensure we had what we need for the Celebration of life for my father (stage, chairs, etc). This was a different type of event but she knew exactly how to step in and handle it all with grace and poise. On the day of, she showed up on the site (super early) and immediately took control (in a city in which it was her first time visiting). My family and I just had to show up on the day and we all felt at ease and confident in whatever decisions were made to organize the ceremony. Crystal was a life saver for my family and I. Who knew you would need a "Crystal" for a funeral service. She is not just a planner... she is... she is a gift! Her passion for what she does shines through in every space she enters.

man crawford: True professional! Super organized and attention to detail.

Kacy Terrell: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueCrystal Marie Events are by far the best! I was honored in having her as my wedding planner and four years later as my husband’s 50th party planner. Both events were mouth dropping! No worries, stress, headaches. Very professional and awesome at what she does! Thank you so much and I look forward to the next party! 😘

Alyssa Rosie: Although we did not decide to use her services for our wedding, Crystal Marie Events is very professional and personable. My fiancé and I did a general consultation with her to go over her services and ideas for our big day. She was very insightful and honest/straightforward. She was able to answer all of our questions from her own experiences. Crystal even provided us with a thank you gift bag upon the conclusion of our consultation. We did not move forward because our budget was not conducive to her minimum packages but we would recommend her otherwise.

Danielle: I booked a consultation with Crystal and her service was amazing. She is very professional, was able to answer all of my questions and made herself fully accessible. We communicated via, email, instagram and text message! I really appreciated how available she made herself to me and also for following up with me on questions and providing guidance.

Ray Carrington: Crystal was very professional, friendly, and provided great hospitality! I hope to work with her again in the future.

Shelley McIntosh: Crystal planned my 70th birthday celebration. I chose the theme of a magical life with an elegant decor. She delivered in detail. From the draped entry to the plate settings, from the light projected birthday greeting to white royalty thrones, from the beautiful delicious birthday cake to the gormet decorated cookies with wording of a magical life, from the elaborate glass centerpieces to the red engraved pens for guests, from the DJ to the mistress of ceremony, the amazing violinist, and from the skilled magician to the friendly and helpful staff, Crystal delivered! The personal and professional care allowed me to embrace and enjoy the experience. Thank you from my heart! -DrShelley

Chris Simpson: DO NOT USE Touch of Elegance as your wedding planner! Veryunreliable and unresponsive. We chose this company after having a meeting with one their planners, Carrie Gentry, and thought this would have been a good fit. We were wrong! We chose the package of 60 days service with the idea that the planner will start the job 60 days from our wedding. We have not heard anything from Carrie at the beginning of the service date. After the start of service date, we had to call the office several times before we got a hold of her assistant. Her assistant stated that she will call us back when she is available. After a week, she contacted us. We provided her the info for all of our vendors and her job was to coordinate time and plan out the wedding with the venue, she never did that. We planned the whole day ourselves. The week of the wedding, Carrie disappeared on us again, this time is was due to a medical emergency. We found this out because our venue coordinator never heard from her and reached out to her via email. Which then Carrie assistant emailed us back 3 days prior to our wedding stating Carrie was ill. The night before our wedding rehearsal, Carrie's assistant (new wedding planner) Marian contacted us to gather information on our wedding and wedding rehearsal. We gave the vendor list to Marian and gave her the plans for the big day. Marian was so lost! She repeatedly told us she assisted Carrie with weddings and has been a wedding planner for over 10 years. On the day of the rehearsal she was very unprepared. She didn't know the order of procession or vendor setup. Marian had another event to work the day prior to our wedding so she did not contact any of the vendors. THEY NEVER CONTACTED ANY OF THE VENORS. Marian and her assistant Evelyn struggled to coordinate our entire wedding day. We never heard from Carrie herself to follow up about our wedding day or reach out to apologize /explain what happen. WE DID EVERYTHING OURSELVES!! They are a waste of money and we should have went with someone else.

Nikhil kumar: Touch of Elegance has been just terrible to work with. Our initial call with Carrie went fantastic. She mentioned that she would follow up and had completely disappeared for about 3 weeks. No communication or whatsoever. Trying to get a hold of her or someone at the company is almost imposible. This was after paying our down payment deposit. I understand they maybe busy, but I really hope someone is able to rectify and work with the clients they take on.For future planners, be very careful when booking this company for wedding planning. I should have read other reviews which were quite similar experience as mine.I will update this review if I get a follow up call from someone at this wedding planning company.

Marissa Graham: I booked Touch of Elegance for month of wedding planning. I worked directly with Carrie and she went above and beyond to help with the planning including helping me to direct my design and "wedding vision" and she booked a couple of vendors and shopped around to the best quote! During the weekend of my wedding, Carrie was super helpful in setting up and tearing down the decor, coordinating all of our vendors and making sure our day ran smoothly.I noticed a couple of the other reviews mention lack of responsiveness. I experienced this slightly when trying to communicate via email. I found that Carrie was super helpful when I was able to schedule a call through a link that she provided after I was a client.Overall I would recommend Carrie as a planner and event designer. She was able to help the weekend run smoothly and was helpful in creating a vision of the event!

Gabrielle Caruthers: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueCarrie was a delight to work with when my husband and I got married. She made our day very easy and worry-free. Thank you Touch of Elegance LLC!

Andre Caruthers: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Kelly Carrera: Carrie and her assistant really went above and beyond for our wedding. Carrie scheduled monthly check-in's with me but also was available for any emergency calls. I spend the entire reception of my wedding worry free because Carrie took lead in working with all our vendors so everything went off without a hitch - truly! I don't know how many brides can say that. Would highly recommend her to any bride in the DMV area.

Nancy Engelhardt: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessCarrie was very attentive and was able to deliver just as we wanted and dreamed for our daughter’s beautiful wedding! So easy to work with and everything went so well and smooth! Highly recommend!

Patty Schroeder: We booked Carrie for my daughters wedding that was suppose to be in May of 2020. Unfortunately COVID had different plans. It was a roller coaster ride with all the planning and replanning and replanning again, however Carrie was amazing through it all. She was always very responsive and very helpful with all our questions. When it came down to the day of the wedding she was on top of her game. When an issue arose she took care of it all. We are very happy with our experience and would book her again in a heart beat.

Alyssa Strickland-Knight: The owner Carrie stole my money and will probably steal yours too. I paid in full up front to save 10%. BIG MISTAKE. I ended up being forced to cancel my wedding. Every other vendor was sympathetic and refunded everything but the deposits quickly. Not Carrie. It took WEEKS to even get a response, then she promised to refund my money, less the deposit. But the refund never came. I called and emailed for months to no avail. Then she changed her office number. I even resorted to contacting a venue associated with her to ask if they knew how to reach her and even they said she was known for not returning calls. Finally I left a bad review in the comments on her Instagram page and her assistant respond to my email but I still don't have my refund a year later. She also did nothing to help me prior to the cancellation except one phone call and one walk through at the venue which I scheduled and coordinated. What a waste. Totally unprofessional. You're better off doing it yourself if you can't spend the money for a real planner.

Sheila Oliver: First of all - I've never written a google review. But this one must be posted. I have been in business for 32 years - I've worked with many vendors. I really wanted to make this work with Carrie. She seemed authentic and caring. It was so important to me that our daughter's wedding was perfect and everything she wanted. So six months into our contract when we were not getting any response from Carrie - either by phone, email or text, I looked at her reviews again. That's when I saw she was doing the same to other paying customers. No answer to texts and emails, excuses upon excuses. My biggest mistake was that I paid Carrie *up front* for everything -- full service wedding planning. She agreed to refund half of our $6,400. We were to receive it mid-September. Our attorney sent demand letters, we sent emails and texts. To no avail. Everything went unanswered. She kept the $3200. My advice is plain and simple -- Do NOT do business with Carrie Gentry.

Maaria Zukas: I debated writing this review but after reading similar reviews and unsuccessfully trying to resolve issues with Carrie of Touch of Elegance, I feel like people thinking about working with TOE need to be cautioned.We met a number of planners and ended up choosing TOE because of Carrie’s convincing experience and that she happened to be a former classmate of my husband so we assumed we were in good hands. She connected us to a number of wonderful vendors who were absolutely amazing, however, approximately 6 weeks prior to our wedding Carrie went radio silent. Despite multiple emails, texts and voicemails we heard nothing and had to move forward with changing all of our schedules around to plan and coordinate things on our own.Approximately 3 weeks prior to our wedding, we received an email from Carrie stating that she was sorry she had been MIA but didn’t have access to email or a phone but was ready to work. At this point though all of our vendors had already stepped up and finalized details with us. We notified her of our disappointment and violation/termination of our contract and requested arefund which she agreed to. Over the course of the next month we sent multiple emails & texts following up on the refund and received no response. We sent a final email explaining that if we did not receive our money back in 48 hours we would report her to the BBB, no response. I filed the complaint and an hour later she “refunded” the money to my mother’s credit card.After waiting 14 business days per Square’s policy we saw that the money was still not refunded. We went back and checked Square’s policy and if a refund request is submitted 120 days after the transaction Square will not refund it. We followed up again with Carrie after this and have still not received any follow-up.I would SERIOUSLY CAUTION anyone considering working with TOE, as it is clear they have now on a number of occasions potentially ruined one of the most important days of couple’s lives adding undo stress and burden to an already stressful but should be joyous time

Chelsea DePoole: I thought long about writing this review but I feel others need to be informed. I booked Carrie in July of 2018 and my wedding was scheduled for May 2019. After speaking to Carrie on the phone I felt an immediate connection to her and she was very helpful with different ideas for venue locations. This was all even before hiring her. After shopping around I decided Carrie was a great choice from her reviews and like I said, instant connection when speaking. I hired Carrie for Month/Day of coordination and I was so excited. After making my deposit I didn't hear from her. She never reached out to check in, never provided a checklist or any sort of assistance I can follow along on my own leading up to the wedding. She did tell me about the planning pod website she has for her clients but when I logged on there was nothing for me to do on it. I thought.. ok well I'm only hiring her for month of so maybe that's when she really starts to help? Well by December, I thought I should check in to see if I'm on track and to figure out this planning pod website. I emailed and called and didn't hear back. Giving her the benefit of the doubt that it was around the holidays and she may have other weddings she's working with, I let it go. After the new year I reached out again asking for a phone meeting which we had. During the meeting we went over a loose timeline I had already figured out with my photographer and she also talked me through the planning pod website which suddenly had things for me to do. I asked her if I was using it wrong and she said no she hadn't set it up yet. So little frustrating because this is stuff I could have been working on when I had free time. As we started getting closer to the wedding and I still hadn't heard from her. I met with my florist multiple times and during that time they asked me about my planner and how things were going and when I said we were 2 months out and I still hadn't heard from Carrie she said I should start calling. I called and emailed and no response. I got to one month out when Carrie's contract started and I did not hear from her until I emailed first. She replied with "She was in the process of emailing me." I think at one month out we should have had a meeting scheduled. We didn't. She said she would be in touch and she wasn't. After multiple calls and emails from me I FINALLY got in touch with Carrie. I was 3 weeks out from my wedding at this point and freaking out. I was extremely stressed and wondering where my planner was. Feeling very frustrated that Carrie was so hard to get in touch with and had done nothing to help me at this point I decided to go our separate ways. I was able to find a day of coordinator right after and immediately I was sent checklists, guidelines, spreadsheets, things they told me they send to their clients the day they book, which for me would have been months ago. Luckily I happen to be organized and figured stuff out on my ow but these tools could have alleviated a lot of my stress. Carrie also told me should would give me a full refund and send it immediately. 2 weeks passed and I had not received my refund. After numerous calls, emails, and mention of reporting her to the BBB she offered to VENMO me the money...so unprofessional and more stress that was added on so close to my wedding. I just want others to be aware of what your money can actually get you and what you deserve. It doesn't have to be as difficult as it was for me.

Paye Mung: I have similar experience like the other people have bad reviews for TOE!!! Carrie pretended to be an angle when for fist couple meetings and after you signed the contract, you disappeared forever. Don't choose her and let her ruin you big day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor Moses: I have been a contracted Lead Wedding Planner for Touch of Elegance Events and Designs LLC since mid-spring 2018. In November 2018, I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to serve as Lead Planner for Touch of Elegance Atlanta. Since being in Atlanta, I’ve only worked two weddings due to Carrie Gentry (the owner of the company) being extremely inconsistent and hard to get in touch with to receive payment for my services. I’ve gotten numerous calls from clients & other contracted planners dealing with the same issue. As a client, this lady will talk an amazing game during initial contact, ultimately to swindle you out of a deposit. Once that’s paid, good luck hearing from her! You will be bombarded with excuse after excuse to why she hasn’t been answering any calls or emails once she finally does answer. Some couples have even pulled out from working with her because of her poor communication and scammish ways, expecting a full refund. Unfortunately, it’s never as easy as it should be! She will ignore you for days, weeks even and then offer a refund in a way in which you did not initially make payment. As a Planner/Intern, please listen to me and run! I repeat, run!!!! I recently did a wedding on 09/07/2019, that I only did out of morality because I really needed the extra money and have yet to receive my payment. Today is 09/13/2019 and the couple paid their balance 08/31/2019. I have texted, called, emailed, even left comments on Facebook (along with another planners affiliated with Touch of Elegance) & still no response! I have begged in pleaded with her, even giving her personal insight to why I’m so dependent on this payment right now and no type of empathy, care or concern was shown as I’m still being blatantly ignored. I’m writing this today to help prevent those from making the same mistake I made trusting this fraud! Please potential couples, save your time and heartache and book elsewhere! Do not pay attention to the past positive comments. Read updated reviews!

Arianna Gard: Carrie and her team at Touch of Elegance are a force to be reckoned with - talented, prompt, calm, and professional. I cannot begin to share all of the ways in which Carrie improved (and saved) our wedding. I recommend her services to anyone who is considering hiring a day-of-coordinator for their wedding. We were married on June 8th, 2019 at the Belle Isle Boat House. The venue is unique and beautiful, but difficult in many ways - you have to bring in everything from tables and chairs to decor. We booked the venue before hiring Carrie, so on our second visit to the venue, we began to get very nervous about our ability to pull off the wedding ... but then we met Carrie. She had solutions to ALL of our questions and concerns. Moreover, even though we only hired her as a day-of-coordinator, she gave us lots of tips during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the outside of the Boat House flooded. That's right, flooded. AND the elevator was broken. But once again, Carrie and her team led the charge to save the wedding. We sent all of the groomsmen to be her minions and she put them to work. She re-jigged the ceremony layout, got as much of the decor set-up as possible, and honestly saved our wedding. Our friends and family are still talking about how awesome our wedding was - thank you in part to Carrie and Touch of Elegance.

王洪涛: I was a client. They promises a lot before you sign the contract. After that, they will never reply your texts or emails, no regular meetings, always busy during weekends for other “weddings “, waiting for days to get texts back, sometimes even nothing back.Don’t choose them, it’s totally a waste of time and money!

dan chavers: A pleasure to deal with very informative great wedding planner

Sonya Clifton: My wedding day was absolutely amazing and I never could have pulled it all together without the assistance of Carrie and Touch of Elegance. Their professionalism and planning expertise allowed me to relax and enjoy the day knowing that everything was going be handled with the highest level of care.When my hired florist pulled a disappearing act less than 6 weeks away from my wedding date, Carrie came through with a vendor who exceeded my expectations on short notice and thankfully within my budget. That was worth the fee by itself.My guests had a blast, everything was beautiful and I'm so thankful that any issues were handled quickly, discreetly, and professionally. Thank you so much for taking the stress of the day off of me so that I could just enjoy the magic of the wedding.

Lillianna Coriasso: Jasmine and Carrie are true masters of their craft. While I wanted to do all of the planning- they allowed the freedom of choosing a "day of" package that truly let me relax and enjoy getting married. I could not have survived the day without them! We had one crisis- and they easily averted it, making sure we stayed calm and so so so happy. I can't thank them enough for giving me the opportunity to experience our marriage without worry!

Crystal LaFontaine: Ines and Marie knocked it out of the park! My Husband and I set out to have a magical weekend in Detroit filled with family and friends from near and far. After some research and recommendations we came across Ines and Marie. We’re so happy we did.We started the process with some calls and mapped out a timeline with all of the ladies. Once we met in person, they took all of our ideas and creatively designed the feel and flow of the day, with champagne and charcuterie as a compliment to our planning!The girls assisted us in taking all of our ideas and incorporating them into a day that was unforgettable. Each step was spaced out perfectly, including the full design mock up! We were invited to see our table settings and decor choices completely mached up in the studio with a full floral sampling as well!The results were stunning and gave us complete confidence that our wedding would turn out exactly how we imagined…and it was better! Your wedding day is surreal. Your mind is running, you’re thinking of this being the best day of your life and the last thing you want to worry about is transportation, ceremony timing, food quality, a good band/DJ, seating assignments, photographers, first dances etc.With the girls at Ines and Marie by your side, you won’t have a worry on your mind. Your focus will be purely on your new spouse, your family, and enjoying an amazing day with everyone you love! Our wedding day was the most beautiful thing we’ve ever experienced. The team was there every step of the way, from being the first to arrive and the last to leave. These women have your best interest in mind and we wouldn’t go back and choose anyone else. From the bottom of our hearts- thank you!!

Lexie Trombley: THESE LADIES ARE AMAZING. I honestly cannot put into words how truly awesome this group of ladies are. My husband + I decided to pull the trigger on a wedding in Italy + while most people thought we were crazy (it was 2021 and the boarders had still not opened due to COVID), but the girlies at Ines and Marie fully supported our decision with open arms and optimistic minds. Something we truly needed to take that leap of faith.A year and half later we had the most magical, dreamy, perfect wedding in the mountains of the Amalfi Coast. The area that we chose for our wedding had to be one of the hardest to plan logistically (there were no cars allowed past a certain point and everything was reached via foot or small cart). Everything, and I mean everything went off without a single hitch. They even packed our rented linens/paper goods, etc. in luggage and brought them all the way to Italy. It was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more!I owe it all to these great gals. I had so much fun with them during the planning process, I even considered changing my career path a few times ;) I truly enjoyed each and every meeting, conversation, interaction that we had -- they all have so much to offer and together are the ultimate dream team. They are also the most beautiful women inside and out. Anyone would be lucky to have this group plan their wedding!!! Grazie mille for the AMAZING work ladies!!!! 3

Anna Evanoff: My husband and I hired Ines & Marie for wedding planning, design, and florals. Chelsey and Bre took a weight off of our shoulders leading the planning. They gracefully helped us to navigate vendor meetings, contracts, and the numerous choices that are involved in planning for the big day. The team helped us to put together an authentic vision for our wedding and bring to life a sensory experience for our guests. Our reception venue had rich-colors and a traditional design of its own. They exceeded our design expectations, pulling in luxe patterns and bright colors like chartreuse and light blue that worked in beautiful contrast with the space. We were truly stunned! Agata was so creative with the florals as well adding in sprigs of mint for a fresh scent. Justyna helped us to design a custom wine label and a thoughtful guest favor wrapped in custom paper that matched one of our patterned linens. No detail was left unaddressed by these talented women. We really couldn’t recommend this hard working team enough! We are so grateful to have worked with them!

Kelly Kane: Hiring Ines + Marie was hands down the best decision my now husband and I made when we started planning our wedding. I worked closest with Chelsey, who helped us through the emotional decision to postpone our wedding because of COVID. Although the decision was hard, it ultimately worked out amazing because we had the pleasure of working with these ladies for 2 years instead of 1. The entire I&M team executed our event flawlessly, and truly made us feel like guests at our own wedding. From florals, to linens, to overall design, everything was executed flawlessly. Our venue was in June 2022 at a historic hotel in Petoskey, which has been doing weddings for decades. Multiple long time employees told us our wedding was the most beautiful event ever hosted there. I feel so lucky that they made our day so special, and even luckier to have gained new friends in the I&M team.

Amelia Abdallah: Having Ines & Marie be a part of our wedding day was an absolute dream! The entire team is so thoughtful and caring, you can see how much every person on the team loves what they do. My husband and I worked closely with Emra, and she was absolutely amazing. She was there for any questions we had and truly showed she cared. We never felt any concern or hesitation with Ines & Marie, we knew no matter what design they came up with it would be stunning. It felt really great to put our full trust in them and allow them to do whatever they thought was best! Every guest the next day was calling us asking us for the name of the vendor that designed our florals. They also set up and coordinated our room set up on the day of and made sure everything looked perfect! We cannot thank Ines & Marie enough for making our wedding day so special!Ali & Amelia xoxo!

Rob Kaczanowski: Our wedding was a stunning, magical, beyond-our-wildest-dreams full weekend experience on the coastal waters of Maine, and it never would have been a reality without the amazing women of Ines & Marie. So if you take nothing else away from this review, depart with this: the best decision you can make in your wedding journey is to reach out to them now!It was a stroke of serendipity that brought us to Justyna, Chelsey, and Agata—we had high hopes for our wedding and not a clue where to begin.From the very first meeting, we knew it was a match. Sure, Ines & Marie ticked all the boxes: experience planning weddings around the world, check; a beautiful portfolio of past weddings, check; great testimonials from clients, check. But most importantly, they just got us. They understood what we wanted when we weren’t sure what we wanted.Justyna, Chelsey, and Agata managed our wedding journey from start to finish. They helped us find the perfect venue—and then another when it became clear Covid was here to stay, and then another when we moved across the country. They chased down musicians in airports and found the most amazing sailboat for our sunset ceremony at sea. They designed the most stunning invitation suites, beautiful floral installations and displays, and bespoke welcome gifts. They quite literally left no stone unturned and no detail unattended to—no matter the size. They crafted a wedding—an experience—that was uniquely us in every way.There aren’t words to describe the depth of our gratitude for what Justyna, Chelsey, Agata, and the rest of Ines & Marie did for us. Our wedding weekend was quite honestly the most magical experience of our lives, and the most perfect way to start our married life together.We love these ladies, and we know you will, too.

Adam Rice: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessWe had a great experience working with the Ines & Marie team. They were extremely helpful and responsive through the entire planning process. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to I&M!

Alexa Ellis: Positive:Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI'm so glad we trusted Ines & Marie with our wedding! They really took our fairytale vision and made it a reality. Chelsey was especially responsive and helpful at all times. I was so thankful to have her in the months close to the wedding. Highly recommend!

Michael Ball: Out of the hundreds of decisions to make for your wedding, this is one you'll appreciate the most. You need to hire Ines & Marie. They ask all of the right questions precisely when they need to be asked and make sure nothing is forgotten. When the day finally arrived, from a guys perspective I didn't have to worry about much because of the excellent planning and preparation from Ines & Marie. I was able to enjoy the entire day knowing that everything we (mostly my wife) planned for our wedding day would be executed perfectly by their team. Everything went perfect. There was no "I wish we would've done that". Trust me, hire them.

Kaitlyn Vitale: The long and the short of it is that Ines & Marie are the greatest wedding planners and I truly could not recommend them enough! Chelsey, Agata, Justyna and their entire team made the wedding planning process seamless and fun. Coming from someone who did not have a clear cut vision for our wedding - I appreciated their design suggestions, personal touches, and the complete dedication they put in to creating the most elegant, timeless, and beautiful event for us. Not only that, but on the day of the wedding they made sure everything was completely organized down to the minute and helped the day run flawlessly. They are wonderful people who genuinely care about their clients and I would 1000% recommend them to anyone in need of wedding planning services. They're the best!

Hotel Walloon: We recently worked with Ines & Marie to plan a wedding at our hotel and venues, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about their team. From our initial site visit to the wedding day, the staff was organized, responsive, and had incredible attention to detail. Meg, Chelsey, and Justyna worked closely with the couple and our team to create the wedding of their dreams on Walloon Lake.If you are looking for a talented and professional team of individuals to bring your wedding vision to life, look no further than Ines & Marie!-Lydia R., Hotel Walloon

Jenn Nash: Ines and Marie was by far the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding day! They did such an amazing job on florals, paper goods, and month of coordination. Planning a wedding isn't necessarily my thing but my husband and I had an idea of what we wanted and Agata, Justyna, and Chelsey exceeded our expectations (while being conscious of our budget)! The pictures speak for themselves, they can turn any venue into a stunning wedding space! I can't say enough great things about how beautiful their work is but I really want to focus my review on the girls who make the Ines and Marie team: Agata, Justyna, and Chelsey.My husband and I received countless compliments on how nice and helpful our planners were on our wedding day. The stories of kindness that were shared by our friends and family is what really put a smile on our faces. They are not only making sure the venue looks stunning and everyone is in the right place at the right time but they are sincerely genuine with everything they do. In the months leading up to our big day my husband and I got the opportunity to connect with these ladies and they truly have the biggest hearts. They cared deeply that our wedding day was the day we always dreamed of and thanks to them it was! I can't say enough great things about working with these ladies! They're the full package: beautiful wedding planners with kind hearts!

K L: I will start with the conclusion: use Ines & Marie to plan your wedding or special day and you will thank me later!!!! I cannot speak highly enough of their wonderful team.Arranging and planning a wedding is already a herculean task....then add COVID. Trying to plan a wedding with state and government closures, business uncertainty, vendors backing out, supply chains disrupted, is an absolute stress wreck. If it wasn't for Ines & Marie, our beautiful day would have never occurred.Their team is the definition of world class service. They are absolute professionals at what they do, and leave no stone unturned. They are efficient, organized, thoughtful, charismatic, caring, and above all, dedicated to you and making your dream become a reality.They helped plan our entire wedding, from working to find the perfect church for our ceremony, to finding reliable, trustworthy vendors to support our reception and everything in between.They involve you in the process, bring you to their studio to brainstorm, and ensure that your vision is brought to life; both the big picture and the details. Their style is impeccable, their taste is immaculate, and their execution is flawless.Their services were well worth it, and I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER, attempt to plan a wedding without them. They ask the questions you never thought to ask, help create a dream event, and see it through to the end.I love their team, am forever in their debt, and am grateful to now spend my life with my better half. Take the stress away from yourselves, hire Ines & Marie, build your dream day, and enjoy every moment of it!

Jennifer Jocz: Justyna, Chelsey, and Agata did an amazing job designing the wedding decor, paper goods, and florals! They are highly creative and proposed out-of-the-box, one of a kind floral installations and seating displays. We got endless compliments from our guests about the beauty of the invitations and the attention to detail in the paper goods, flowers, candles and all across the event. Ines&Marie were wonderful with managing a lot of last minute changes that were out of our control, and their organization and positivity throughout the coordination made the whole event stress-free. We were beyond happy with the finished product, and we're very grateful for their hard work, design creativity, and professionalism. I highly recommend them for any event!

Jocelyn Hall: This is the ultimate dream wedding team! Everything from the planning to the Florals to the actual day was incredible! They truly understand the whole process and make sure your vision comes to life! Agata, Justyna and Meg are all amazing, love you girls! Make sure to check out their workshops, they are so. Much. Fun!Xx

Admin Alley: There is no way we would have had such a successful wedding without Ines & Marie. They were instrumental in having everything come together perfectly. We can’t rave about them enough. They took on the majority of our stress and we couldn’t be happier. From the planning, flowers, vendor coordination, invitations, and helping us with the outdoor activities they were with us every step of the way.

Nikki Carbonari: I cannot recommend Ines and Marie enough! Hands down the best thing we did for our wedding was hiring them! All of the planning/design companies we looked at offered exactly the same thing, while Ines and Marie has such a varied portfolio and really listened to us when we said we didn't want the traditional wedding style. We hired I & M for design, florals and 'month of' coordination. Chelsey was our lead coordinator and she is absolutely excellent - so organized, responsively, creative and such a nice person! The florals we're stunning and exactly how we wanted them. Ines and Marie is really the best!

Kathryn Carbonari: I am the Mother of The Bride and my daughter and her fiancé really did the majority of the planning, however of course I wanted to be involved and was very motivated to help them have the best day possible.I can honestly say we couldn’t have done it without Ines and Marie! They are so committed to a high standard in all regards and also just so great to work with. Chelsey Paksi was our lead coordinator and she was extremely helpful especially the last month after “The Handover” (such a brilliant idea)I highly recommend Ines and Marie and believe they are the BEST available in the Detroit metro (and wider) area! OH and BTW they are amazing floral designers as well! (One of the owners did that in her past life!!)

Sarah Brosko: If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Hiring Ines & Marie was the best decision we made -- hands down. Our event coordinator, Chelsey, was so helpful, quick and efficient to respond to all forms of communication and extremely detail oriented. Not only did the team bring our vision to a reality they sincerely care about all of their clients and will go above and beyond without question. I cannot imagine the last couple of months of planning without Chelsey and the entire Ines & Marie team. We are forever grateful!

N JW: We don't have any other way to describe our experience with Ines & Marie as anything other than amazing. Meg was our wedding coordinator and she truly helped our vision come to life. She was perfect with communication and keeping my husband and I on task despite our busy schedules. Agata did such an amazing job on the florals. She nailed exactly what I envisioned and even convinced me to go with some brighter florals that I didn't initially think of. Justyna did an outstanding job on all our paper goods and signage. Brett and I truly cannot thank you enough for making our special day so dreamy and perfect.

Myron Williams: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueShared a thought and they literally turned it into reality. This company is amazing!!! Everything was perfect for our wedding,

Richard Stephens (DJ Richie Rich Detroit): Great venue

Tacora B.: The name Dream Celebrations says it all! Meisha will literally make your dream & vision come true for your special event! She is so kind & only wants the best for her clients. We had the pleasure of working with her on decor for our wedding & when we walked into our reception, my husband & I (as well as our guests) were blown away!! She really went above & beyond our expectations as we just gave her our colors, theme/feel we were going for & just a few reference pics of what we liked. You can't go wrong booking with her, she has a creative eye for decor & design & her services are very well worth every penny! Our guests are still talking about the wedding & asking for her contact info! If you're looking to be wowed, look no further!Here are a few pics shared from our guests : )

Karria Burnz: Karria · married on 09/14/2019Meisha brought my vision to life and exceeded my expectations!Meisha and Dream Celebrations were AMAZING! The decorations were absolutely beautiful and I still have people talking about them! We kept in contact throughout the entire process including in person and over the phone meetings. Even though I didnt give her much direction, my venue was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Everything was perfect and worth every penny!

Dimonique Thirlkill: Dream Celebrations decorated for my wedding ceremony as well the reception. The experience was one like no other. Meisha assisted me in figuring out exactly what I wanted and I allowed her to be creative in the areas that I was uncertain about. She she did not disappoint! When my husband and I saw our reception room for the first time, it was nothing short of breath taking. I would confidently refer Meisha to any couple looking for a W.O.W experience.

Tameka Johnson: My experience with Dream Celebration was one of best decoration company I have ever dealt with very kind Pleasant very professional and get the job done please don’t hesitate on calling I promise you will not be disappoint .

Leslie Dennis: Listen I dont where my wedding would’ve been without Meisha and Dream Celebrations!!! She put up with my indecisiveness like a champ lol!! I really appreciate her understanding my vision and seeing it come to life on wedding day was mind blowing. I truly was wow’d away. All the time and money spent I wouldn't change a thing. The next best thing besides the wedding is that I walked away with a friend. Meisha treats you more like a friend than a client and I’ll forever be grateful for that. Dream Celebrations is the best hands down!!!

Lauren Fresh: Meisha and her Dream Celebrations team took our wedding beyond “WOW”!!! She took our thoughts and exceeded our expectations. To be able to just be a bride with no worries on your wedding day is an experience every bride should have. This peace of mind is something we would pay for time and time again. Our experience was remarkable!!!

Rachel Zeigler: Meisha at Dream Celebrations did an amazind job coordinating and decorating my wedding and reception! She was open our ideas and accomadated for what we wanted! Meisha does her best to personalize the event in many ways, all while adding her special touch! I recommend her for your future events.

Monqiue W: I found Meisha & Dream Celebration on social media and was impressed by the décor in the weddings she posted. We started conversing about different packages and liked that she gave options. I selected the month of coordinator, virtual planner, and wedding décor packages. I was worried about planning a wedding in Detroit when I lived in Atlanta (then moved to Denver), but Meisha made it so easy. She went to some of my vendor meetings and had plenty of vendor referrals for any need that came up (I bought my dream dress from her referral). She was responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, a great listener, and accommodating. I was blown away by the lighting (worth every penny) and décor, and even though I didn’t want silk flowers, she made them look SO good that someone asked to have one! Overall, we were wowed, provided quality service, and I would recommend Dream Celebrations, Inc. to friends, family, and anyone looking for a fabulous wedding without stressing on the details.My advice to anyone looking to hire Dream Celebrations would be to be upfront and realistic with your budget (a lot of cost I didn’t think about came up as changes occured), be detailed with the description of your dream wedding (Meisha’s a wow expert and can make it happen!), and trust her judgment. My only suggestion to the company is to look at offering more services (snacks for bridal party AND groomsmen, people get hungry, especially the kids in the wedding) and being able to offer more not currently in the package like handling the wedding announcement in the newspaper. The more items you hire Dream Celebrations for, the easier your wedding will be, BOOK HER!

Laressa Mems: Meisha is amazing and our wedding day was PERFECT because of her. I would trust her to coordinate any event for me!

Dandra Mcglown: Meisha and her staff at Dreams Celebrations Inc are amazing! Meisha made sure that everything was set up to my preference and she included me and kept me updated through the entire process. The wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful. I really did enjoy my day, just a few mishaps with my cake and Disc Jockey, but Meisha made sure I did not stress about it, and actually everything came together and went smooth! I would highly recommend Dreams Celebrations Inc.

Ashley Fountain: Dream Celebrations handled my whole planning process, day of coordination, and decorations. Meisha is very professional and is always a pleasure. She went to venues, makes centerpieces, and works with your budget. If I didn't have a day of coordinator, I would had not enjoyed my special day. I didn't lift a finger and no one asked me silly questions. My reception looked like a dream!! She even surprised us with a game show during dinner!! The game show made my wedding so unique. The icing on the cake was my husband (who complained about money the whole time) said getting a coordinator was money well spent!

Cameron Smith: Meisha does the best at her job!! She was so great at listening to how I envisioned my wedding reception to look. I would recommend her to anyone no matter the event because she takes pride in her work. I told her what I wanted and she did more than what I ever could have ever imagined. I would give her ten stars but all I can say is let Meisha make your dream a celebration!!!

Sade Turner: Meisha with Dream Celebrations is amazing!!!!!! My now husband and I had the honor of having her as our wedding decorator and she made both the ceremony and reception a dream come true!!!! I knew everything would look nice but I didn't expect it to blow me and my guests out of the water. She is very patient!!! Very kind, very professional and she will work with you no matter the situation. Most of our meetings had to be done via FaceTime and Phone because of my location but she still treated me as if we were face to face the whole way through and I was more than satisfied and throughly impressed with her work and her mannerism! I would recommend her to anyone!!! Affordable and A1! We will see you again for baby showers when we start to have children and for upcoming parties!!!!!!!
