Our wedding was perfect! We chose Marisa and I Do Events to be our wedding planner. She was…read morefantastic from the beginning to the end! My husband and I wanted someone who would listen to our vision for the wedding, and deliver that vision. It was also important for us to have someone loving and accepting of the LGBTQ community. Marisa exceeded our expectations at every turn. We had about 120 guests at the wedding. The ceremony happened in a church venue, followed by appetizers and drinks, dinner, and dancing during the reception. Planning/Availability: Marisa met with us numerous times during the planning process to ensure we understood everything, and to make sure we had made all decisions about the wedding structure. She walked us through the process step-by-step, created a detailed cost estimate, and went over each line item on the cost estimate with us so we understood it. She made herself available any time we had questions (or my husband and I changed something, which happened several times). She was extremely professional, flexible, patient, and understood your wedding day is one of the best days of your life, and she and her staff worked hard to deliver high quality results, attention to detail, and magical moments. Budget: Prior to hiring Marisa, we researched the costs to deliver the type of wedding we wanted, including the venue, servers and catering for 120 people, flowers and decorations, photographer, videographer, bartender (see comments below), and a DJ. Then we hired Marisa. Marisa came in way under budget, several thousands under budget. Why the huge savings? Because Marisa has a large network of contacts in the wedding industry and we were able to save money by using her contacts. Not only did we save money using her contacts, but Marisa also owns a lot of wedding assets she made available to us for use. Rather than buying items, we were able to use many of hers, which also helped save us money. Bartender: My husband and I originally hired a bartender for the reception before we hired Marisa. The bartender canceled on us 5 days before the wedding. Marisa not only got us a bartender, she got us 2 of them for the reception. Having contacts makes all the difference. If you are thinking about getting married, I highly recommend Marisa and I Do Events. She is professional, organized, and can be trusted to help make your wedding day full of happiness without any of the stress. You won't be disappointed.

No one ever wants to have to request a refund for services not performed, but that is exactly the…read moresituation we found ourselves in with I Do Events. We wanted a wedding planner with gay wedding experience and hired Marisa Tristan, owner & primary employee, after she said she could deliver what we were looking for. She helped us secure a venue, but after that things fell apart. In our planning meetings, she had no agenda and it was up to us to bring up topics to discuss and remember deadlines. She took notes but later could not recall the information. One of the primary tasks she was hired for was vendor coordination, but most of our vendors said she never contacted them so this crucial task fell to us. We even asked her if she was going to contact a vendor and she'd say yes, but then never did. Our vendors had to contact us directly for direction during this busy time. We wouldn't have been able to have a wedding had we relied on Marisa to do it. She was also in charge of decorations which were a failure. She got the colors of the wedding flowers wrong(!), and other decorations were missing or not as agreed upon. She didn't get the guest count right so many chairs were left without decor. Her staff was extremely unprofessional: they walked into our dressing room without knocking, were rude to our other vendors, sat at the guest tables eating and drinking, then tore decor down early causing guests to think it was time to leave. We hired I Do Events for wedding planning and decorations, and all we got was substandard decor.

As my wedding date approached, and I was getting reminders of payment from all my other professional vendors, I followed up with Vanessa to make sure I could make the final payment as I was a few days late. Her response was "I do not have the time to chase couples in order to receive payment." After paying a $200 deposit at the time of booking, she would no longer work with me and asked me to stop contacting her. Run away from this company. Every other company I am working with has sent courtesy reminders because they clearly want the business. Vanessa cannot be bothered. Do her the favor and do not give her any money.

I made an appointment with Rachel one time, drove for an hour from Mesa to Phoenix and I had to wait for literally 3 hours outside her office because she forgot we were supposed to meet and was not prepared at all. For my wedding, she told me that she was drafting a contract, it took her 5 months to do a simple contract every time I called her about it, she made an excuse or said she was working on it until my wedding was 15 days away and I realized she didn't send me a contract earlier because she knew is very difficult to find other vendors within such short time and for the purpose of cornering me and forcing me to pay more money than what we agreed on,it was my fault that I was patient and had faith in a person like her and waited so long and for her to give a contract, i eventually was lucky to find another vendor but I was very upset for all the mess and stress she caused me and my family. I heard great things about her mother and the person that managed the business before, but she truly sucks, if you want to save yourself stress and the headache of having to deal with an awful vendor DO NOT GO TO HER!

Her unique mobile pottery painting business takes away the guesswork, hassle, and logistical issues of going to a studio, as she literally comes to you with all the supplies you need. Party-goers select their pieces to paint, Sheri brings the paint and paintbrushes, and the finished pieces leave with her. She then fires them in the kiln and returns them only a few days later. The process is easy, seamless, and doesn't require a return trip to a studio for pick-up, as she returns them directly to you. From our first introduction, Sheri was warm, friendly, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend her enough and look forward to using her again!

Being that I live in Chicago and was getting married in Scottsdale, it was a no brainer that I would need a wedding coordinator. Working with YJ was truly the best decision I could have made. Every little detail was perfectly planned, including the ones that would have never even crossed my mind. I love that they have relationships with so many incredible vendors, it made picking a DJ, florist, etc, super easy! What I really loved about Maddy and the Your Jubilee team is that I never felt pushed or rushed in the decision making process. They always gave me plenty of time to make decisions, and even when we were on a crunch never made anything seem like it was un-fixable. The day of the wedding was such a breeze. I had about 3 girls from the YJ team there (maybe even more?!) including Maddy. At one point Maddy was steaming my dress herself. The timing of everything was seamless. We even had our pup there and one of the YJ gals was walking him around during the reception! I would literally trust these girls with my life (I did for one very important day LOL) and do not regret it for a second. Maddy, thank you for giving us the best day! We loved working with you!!
