I hired Marielle Gourlay Events for full planning and design and I am so glad I did! She connected me to a beautiful venue, negotiated great vendors and walked with me every step of the way. She managed the whole day flawlessly and allowed me to just enjoy every minute of it. I would recommend Marielle Gourlay and her team without hesitation. She’s really was amazing!

I was responsible for the holiday celebrations for a large team in the global corporation I work for...which at first seemed to be a daunting task amidst an already full work load. Marielle met with me, listened to what what our team was envisioning, then made it happen--beyond my (our) expectations. She was quick and responsive to my questions leading up to each event and executed each detail with finesse. I highly recommend Marielle Gourlay Events to be your go-to planner for your next corporate and/or business event!

Marielle Gourlay is an event planner extraordinaire! This sweet woman helped me pull everything together for a huge Retirement Party for my parents. When my sister and I would just be talking in circles and driving ourselves crazy with ideas ... she was a calming force! If you are ever in need of a party planner - big or small affair - this is the person you need! I recommend Marielle with 100% confidence!

I had Marielle coordinate a single day-long event which included multiple speakers, events, musical performances and keynote speaker. Not only was Marielle professional, and responsive to the needs of both the department and those in attendance, her positive attitude and enthusiasm for all aspects of the events was incredible. It was only afterwards I became aware of some of the challenges which had taken place, but she had resolved without adding to my pressure of the day. And I can not stress this enough- Marielle is a force of energy that never seems to have an off switch!
When it came to the planning of the event, Marielle was excellent at understanding our needs, and asking for clarification when she didn't understand. She never assumed, and did what was required. She stuck to deadlines, and was able to organize a jumble of events, guests and rental companies to ensure everything was prepared.
On the day of the event, Marielle was hands on, working with the entire team to create a smooth, impactful experience for all in attendance. Her positive presentation and nonstop energy was addictive, and all involved were encouraged by her to do their best so the event could succeed.
Could the event have gone on without Marielle and her team? Of course. Would it have been as energetic and exciting? I don't believe so. When it comes to events where you need to trust in someone to coordinate your vision, and when it comes to having someone who is as excited for your day as you are, I would strongly suggest Marielle is one of a kind. I can not recommend her enough. Grab her before she becomes too busy, as I am sure at this point her email is getting quite full from people like me recommending her to friends and family!
