“My husband and I were married at Charles Krug in September 2024. Marissa Sartory was our coordinator and she was absolutely fabulous! She was beyond helpful and patient with all of us! She went above and beyond many times and helped us out with numerous last minute requests. She was very poised, organized and fun to work with. Marissa had a calm and organized demeanor about her as well, making things fun and lighthearted and making sure my husband and I were not stressed. We really appreciate everything Marissa did for us! Highly recommend!”

“We worked with Marissa to plan and coordinate my daughter's wedding at Charles Krug winery in St. Helena, CA. I live in Phoenix and all of the 175 guests came from out of town and most needed lodging. It was a 3 day party with lots of logistics. Marissa handled it with poise and efficiency. She researched things for me that were over and above. I highly recommend her. This was my second experience planning one of my daughter's weddings and Marissa exceeded my expectations.”

“We worked with Marissa Sartory for our Napa Valley wedding in July 2024. She truly went above and beyond with the planning and coordinating of our wedding! We had multiple walkthroughs of the venue with different vendors and lots of outside requests for the day of and she was so open to different ideas and was always super helpful in getting answers back to us quickly! On the day, she executed a truly beautiful wedding! We had a small hiccup with our DJ *right before the reception* and Marissa had my back completely, making sure we stuck to our planned timeline and executed the vision we had. Everything went according to plan and we were right on time the whole day. Marissa was so attentive to making sure all the details were taken care of and constantly checked in with us to keep up with any changes we wanted to implement. She was an indispensable part of our wedding who made the day absolutely beautiful!

“Planning a wedding is no small feat, and I can’t thank Marissa enough for making our dream wedding in Napa a reality. From our very first meeting, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional. Over the months of planning, Marissa took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and bring our ideas to life in a way that was not only beautiful but deeply personal.

No detail too small or overlooked. From recommending the perfect vendors to coordinating every piece of the timeline, Marissa handled everything with grace, efficiency, and creativity. Her extensive experience showed, as she knew the best spots, vendors, and even little tricks to make everything run smoothly. The months of coordination and communication were effortless on our part, all thanks to her organization and reliability.

On the day of the wedding, I was able to relax and just enjoy the moment, knowing everything was being handled perfectly behind the scenes. The ceremony and reception were seamless, and every detail—from the floral arrangements and table settings to the lighting and flow of the event— was exactly as we’d envisioned. It was like stepping into a fairytale!

Our guests were raving about the beauty and flow of the day, and we owe so much of that to Marissa and her incredible team. If you are looking for a wedding planner who can truly bring your vision to life and make the whole process as stress-free as possible, I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Marissa. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day unforgettable!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marissa as our wedding coordinator for our big day at Paradise Ridge Winery on May 18, 2024. From the very beginning, we knew Marissa would be a great fit for us. She was incredibly responsive, understood our budget, and anticipated our needs, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Her kind and caring nature made it easy for us to build rapport with her, and she quickly gained our trust by offering thoughtful suggestions to help us stay within our budget while still making our wedding everything we hoped for.

Marissa did a fantastic job explaining the planning timeline, which allowed us to see what was coming months in advance. This helped us stay on track and be well-prepared for upcoming deadlines. She worked closely with a variety of vendors and gave us with insights and recommendations that aligned with our preferences and our wedding theme/vibe. When we faced a small issue with a vendor, Marissa was there to advocate for us, finding quick solutions that relieved us of unnecessary stress.

One aspect of working with Marissa that we loved most was her openness to our ideas, especially when we wanted incorporate cultural elements into our wedding. Whether it was the late-night ramen bar, hand-folded origami flowers, or engraved chopsticks as gift favors, Marissa ensured these touches were integrated tastefully and seamlessly. She respected our vision and made sure everything looked elegant and fun.

On the day of our wedding, Marissa went out of her way to show up for us and make the experience unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful for everything Marissa did for us, and we will undoubtedly recommend her to all our friends and family.
