Dukes & Daisies Weddings & Events

I met Marianne in July 2021 after my mother attended a sri lankan hindu wedding ceremony which was coordinated by her. My mother was so blown away by how organized and beautiful the ceremony was I had to speak to Marianne myself! After my fiance and I had our initial interview with Marianne, we were very impressed with her portfolio, professionalism, patience and ease in which we got along. I knew she was a good fit for our quirky magical wizard themed wedding reception that we were planning! Our 8 month long relationship began and it was so worth it! From the very beginning, Marianne set up our budget, coordinated venue visits, correspondence with vendors. She ensured that we were keeping within our budget whilst ensuring we were going to have an amazing beautiful wedding reception. She came up with very creative and innovative ideas for our wizard-themed wedding, which turned out to be stunning magical installations for our guests to enjoy. She took care of our decor from head to toe and when I first walked into our venue on our big day, my jaw dropped. I wasn't ready for the beauty and our vision to come to life and end up being so elegant and romantic. She was so easy to work with over the last 8 months, including min- therapy and relaxation sessions while planning during the covid pandemic. Hiring Marianne was one of the best decisions we made, she went above and beyond for us, every single detail was planned to the last second of our night. She is surrounded by an amazing team who executed our dream reception to perfection. The vendors she also recommended went the extra mile for us which we were so grateful for. It was amazing having her by our side throughout this entire journey because some days definitely weren't easy especially during the pandemic! Not only does she do decor, she was able to put together a floating two tier cake for us just so we would be within our budget! Do yourself a favor and hire dukes and daisies for your wedding planning! She has years of experience, so kind and patient. She is an absolute delight to work with!

I brought Marianne in as my wedding coordinator a little over a month before our wedding, at my wits end, after finding her business card that she had given me at the 2019 Bridal Show. Hiring Marianne was the absolute best decision I made when it comes to my wedding, and my only regret is that we didn’t bring her in right at the beginning. Marianne is incredibly organized, professional, and an overall amazing person to work with. Pre-wedding she made sure every base was covered, thought of things we have never thought of (and gave us such great ideas to make an intimate wedding even more special), and kept us organized every step of the way. She showcased unwavering dedication to make sure our day went smoothly, despite the uncertainty that swirled around the pandemic. Day-of, we didn’t have to think about a thing, as Marianne’s presence was such a comfort to us. My husband and I are so grateful for her and her commitment to her role as our wedding coordinator. I highly recommend her services as she is a fantastic person, and a true professional!

Marianne was recommended to us by close friends and we are very happy she was. Marianne was a pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful with any and all inquiries. She had some excellent referrals and recommendations which were much more cost effective compared to others. Our wedding cake for example was done by a phenomenal cake artist who worked part time out of her condo and didn't advertise. She did an incredible job for a great price. During the day of our wedding my wife and I were able to enjoy the experience as we knew Marianne had everything under control. Thank goodness because we were both a couple margarita's in by the time our vows came up. Our wedding was one that people dream of and Marianne was a big part of helping that experience happen.

My fiancé and I decided to go with Marianne as our wedding coordinator after seeing the amazing job she did for our newly married friends. Her dedication, creativity, and attention to detail was exactly what we needed for our special day. Despite the challenges that occurred due to the pandemic, Marianne was there to support us every step of the way. She even went out of her way to organize a beautiful styled photoshoot for my fiancé and I. We were very honoured and thankful for the wonderful opportunity. She made the entire process smooth so that we could just enjoy our photoshoot without any concerns. My fiancé and I are excited to continue to work with her as our wedding day approaches soon.
