"To Marisa, My Purse.
You held my ideas -
You held my concerns -
You held my memory -
You held my sanity -
You held my hand -
You held so much more than my lipstick."
Bride, Suzi Theodore
"The one and only Miss Marisa helped me pull together the most beautiful and most organised day of my life. Her enthusiasm and friendship instantly put me at ease. Not only did she treat me like a princess, but she also took care of my guests and suppliers. Who knows what problems arose at my wedding? I was too busy having fun!"
Bride, Melissah Carnell (who arrived home in Australia from the USA just 3 weeks before her wedding).
"I was very time poor, but Marisa was really organised, and came up with good ideas. When I decided to go for green roses, which are so unusual, sourcing them was a challenge. But Marisa made all the calls and her florist came through. To know on the day that one person is responsible was fantastic - just a single point of contact for any issues. With Marisa running around checking everything, it was something Migara and I didn't have to worry about. Everyone had a good time, everything went according to plan - even the weather was good. I couldn't have asked for anything better."
Bride, Crystal (who wanted something out of the ordinary)
"One of our main suppliers disappeared with our deposit three months before the wedding. That was 5 weeks before I needed my invites to go out. I went into serious panic mode but Marisa was so comfortable and easy to talk to. She spent four hours at our initial consultation, and went above and beyond the whole way through. Wayne would also check in with Scott because nobody was asking his opinion! In our case, a wedding planner was an absolute lifesaver. Our function co-ordinator really let us down on the day, setting tables incorrectly and missing special meals. It would have been an absolute disaster without A Lavish Affair."
Bride, Janine (who lost her invitation supplier just weeks before her invites were due to be mailed)
"We organised our engagement ourselves, with 80 people at a restaurant and on the night there was a lot of human error, like food coming out in the wrong order. I was constantly worried and I didn't enjoy myself. Both Anthony and I said we don't want this stress on our wedding day. We interviewed three wedding planners, and Marisa really stood out. The professionalism of her website really struck me. And she came across as a best friend. I really enjoyed talking to her, and we had fun. She put forward ideas, helped us with our budget, and proposed a change of venue from a winery in Red Hill to Montsalvat in Eltham. She took everything on board. Not having to worry about a thing, it really made the whole day. Every cent we spent on her service was worth it."
