    Excellent Wedding Assistance!

    Mariana was so effective in helping me and my husband in coordinating the religious wedding pieces so effectively! She made sure that there was full communication with the church in the Dominican republic and she was the "middle man" in coordinating the legal documents for us to ensure we could get married for our destination wedding in Punta Cana! She also was great with assisting us with multiple projects when it came to collecting guests RSVP's and dealing with our vendors to ensure all is going well. We enjoyed having her help us and she handled everything with a lot of professionalism and excellence- thank you Mariana from Jen and Nel!

    The Absolute Best!

    Mariana was absolutely amazing. Always super responsive and a joy to work with. Her expertise helped us navigate through the wedding planning process smoothly. She was always available to offer advise and helped us locate the right vendors. Her energy was always super positive, it was such a joy to talk to her. She's a professional who knows her stuff, and is there to help you relax and enjoy the process. We cannot recommend her enough!

    Amazing, professional, and on top of everything

    You could not ask for a better coordinator. Mariana and her team are super diligent and know exactly what they're doing. Our wedding ran smoothly and if anything did go wrong that day, I never found out! They were great at organizing everything and making sure me, my husband, our family, and our giant wedding party was in the right place at the right time. They were also great assistants to our photographer who had to wrangle a huge group of people for photos. It was such a relief having Mariana contacting all of our vendors the week before and making sure everyone was on the same page. I seriously could not have asked for a better team on what very much was the best day of my life. My only regret is that I can't throw more incredible parties with them all the time!

    Professional and Understanding

    I had an incredible experience. After three years of making no movement towards our wedding due to our busy lives, we decided to hire a professional to assist us. We were treated with professionalism, kindness, and patience. She communicated with us more than we did with her, which was amazing! She was always two steps ahead and I would recommend her highly.

    Outstanding

    Mariana and her assistant were life savers. We hired her as day of coordinator and best investment. There’s a lot going on day of wedding and things happen. They handled everything and also checked in the day after to ensure flowers from reception were used as centerpieces at morning after brunch. The best

    Best Decision I Made!

    I am so grateful that I decided to work with Mariana. Our collaboration began in 2019. From the beginning I could tell she was patient and compassionate. Like many other couples, my wedding was postponed due to the pandemic. Mariana and I continued to touch base for what ended up being nearly two years! Throughout this journey, she frequently checked in with me and offered recommendations. I appreciate what a great thought partner she was during the planning process and especially on the big day. She consistently checked in on my spouse and me throughout our ceremony and reception. At one point I was on the fence about something I had initially planned to do during the reception. I asked Mariana to think it through with me and ultimately everything worked out well. Once the wedding day starts, it can feel like you are on a joyride with no brakes. It helps to have someone who is calm, organized and levelheaded beside you. Mariana is that person. I highly recommend her.

    Mariana, our lifesaver!

    Our wedding day wouldn’t have been possible without Elusions Event Planning. Mariana is the absolute best!! Not only is she extremely professional and knowledgeable but she is a kind person. Since we started planning our wedding years ago, she always made us feel like she truly cared about us and our day and was always checking in and offering to help. There were a few hiccups throughout our day and Mariana knew exactly what to do at every turn. She made our event seamless and was doing so much for us behind the scenes, I truly don’t know what we would have done without her and her assistant. It was an absolute pleasure working with Elusions Event Planning and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner, designer or day-of coordinator. Mariana anticipates a d goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Thank you again!

    Amazing! Mariana was a blessing for us!!!!

    I never wanted a wedding planner, But once we decided to get married in New York because it was more convenient for family and friends. This Florida girl, Knew That she would need help. That was the one non-negotiable thing I had with my fiancé. I am a complete hands-on person, and I knew living in Florida and getting married in another state, there was no way I could be completely hands-on. I would recommend Elusion event planning to everyone!! Mariana was absolutely amazing to work with, not once did I have to get all bridezilla, she even was phenomenal considering we had to move our original date two more times because of Covid. Not once did she ever tell me that something wasn’t doable, I never panicked about anything because I knew after the year we had she could handle anything. Our wedding was an absolute dream and that was because of her. When our venue seem like they went MIA, Mariana was able to keep me completely calm. I know for the first couple months after I got engaged and we knew New York would be our destination wedding, all I did was panic and worry because we live so far. From the day we met with Mariana not once did I ever panic again, And that included even moving our date twice. My husband and I absolutely love her, and know We are definitely going to keep in touch. Mariana we can not thank you enough for everything.

    Mariana Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    Mariana was a godsend to me . I met her through a family friend when she worked on her daughter's quinceañera . I instantly felt such a good vibe from her. She was amazing then and now. She was so helpful with my wedding planning. She always knew how to keep my stress and anxiety down . Especially when the Pandemic hit. We had to make changes asap and I was very overwhelmed. I had to postpone my big event twice ,because it was very important to us that everyone stay safe . She helped me through all of it. We eventually decided to get married with just our intimate family and friends and postpone the big reception until next year. She supported our decision and helped us make the best mini-wedding we could. Mariana and her assistant Aleida were amazing the day of. I never felt stressed or bothered. I got to enjoy my wedding day. Her team of vendors are amazing as well. She always provided me with top notch vendors she has worked with. I’ve already booked Mariana for next year and can't wait to have Mariana there for the Big reception. She has been so great and we consider her a part of our family. I would definitely recommend Mariana and her team of vendors for your event. They will follow through and give you the day you dreamed of! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mariana !

    Day Coordinator

    I had the honor to have Mariana as my day coordinator for my wedding. Mariana was a saving grace for us on our wedding day! If we didn’t have Mariana with us, I really don’t know we would have done. Mariana came on board as the day coordinator with less than a month before the my big day and handled everything with such professional. She was super kind, and extremely punctual. She made certain that my vision for the day came about and that everything was handled so that I had nothing to worry and enjoy my day which I did. She is absolutely wonderful and I will and have recommended her to my family and friends for any future wedding planning.

    Awesome wedding coordinator!

    What can I say?! Mariana & her assistant Cindy were lifesavers! My husband and I had postponed our wedding twice already due to Covid, but then decided to have our wedding in October at a private home in Connecticut. Now this means, basically transferring all our vendors also from Long Island to New Fairfield CT. Without Mariana & Cindy’s help during the day of the wedding, we seriously wouldn’t know if our wedding would have happened. Mariana also helped with the planning before the actual event, by calling all our vendors to make sure that things would go smoothly day of and giving us a checklist to go over! Honestly, we owe all the success to her & Cindy. Thank you ladies for making our wedding day flow smoothly, thus giving us a day to remember!

    Mariana is an ANGEL!!

    I would not have been able to get through my wedding without the wonderful woman! She was so helpful from day 1 and every single day I needed her...no matter the time. The moment she walked into the room the day of the wedding I was so happy to finally meet her! She took charged and walked us through our ceremony and was with us every step of the way. The day was so perfect because of her! Me and Angel are so thankful we had her!!!! She will NOT disappoint!!

    Day of coordinator QUEEN !

    Can’t say enough great things about Mariana. Mariana really took charge on my wedding day and ensured I had the best possible experience with minimal stress. Days later I learned of a few potential disasters that Mariana averted.
    I’m so thankful for her and her services can’t recommend her enough as a day of coordinator.

    Wedding Coordinator

    I hired Mariana as a day of coordinator for my wedding reception. I had not met Mariana until the day of my wedding but on that day she really pulled through and helped me out. Mariana always responded to my questions and even helped me locate a church for the wedding ceremony in the beginning days of my planning. She is a really friendly, sweet and an approachable person. She kept on making sure that i was doing okay from few days before the wedding till few days after the wedding. I will surely recommend Mariana and seek her out for any of my future events.

    Very helpful

    Mariana was wonderful from start to finish coordinating my wedding the day of. Although I was having a small wedding I did not want to be overwhelmed by anything that could go wrong the day of. Mariana came in and she was like family helping with everything, she was patient and kind. She was there every time I needed her even when I didn’t even know it. My family loved her and found her to be super helpful. Hire her you will not regret it!
