Look no further, Marian is the best planner you could ask for! She was on top of every single detail and made sure that our special day went perfectly. There will always be hiccups and you want someone like Marian on your side so that you can handle whatever comes your way. I truly can’t say enough good things about working with her!

Elegant church wedding ceremony captured under soaring arches and soft golden light, with the couple centered at the altar before their gathered guests.

Marian was wonderful! She communicated with vendors to make sure our vision would be fulfilled, which relieved a lot of stress. She was always available to answer questions or give suggestions. She did everything from bustling my dress to organizing family photos to getting us drinks. At the end of the night, I knew I was missing something. Without saying a word, Marian handed me my hotel key and said, “I think you're looking for this.” This summed up our experience – Marian knew what we needed before we even thought of it ourselves.

Wedding ceremony under a dramatic celestial projection, with the moon and stars illuminating the couple beneath a glowing arch.Timeless black and white portrait of a bride and groom descending stone steps—he carries her bouquet and her hand, while she lifts her lace train, sharing a private, graceful moment.

Clockwork. Everything was as smooth as clockwork. Marian is a rockstar and was a pleasure to work with. Our New Year's Eve wedding had a lot of moving parts and she handled it all smoothly and professionally. Several guests, vendors and members of our wedding party even commented on how impressed they were with the quality of her work. Her experience, network and general can-do attitude gave us a evening neither us nor our guests will ever forget.

Marian was absolutely AMAZING throughout our wedding planning process! She was also available to answer questions, help guide us in the right direction and made the month of the wedding so so seamless. I didn’t hear a peep from any vendor during wedding week! I am so grateful!

— Sami R. (10/8/22)

Marian from Porch and Pearls went above and beyond to deliver us the day of our dreams! From the start, we knew Marian was an expert at her craft and eased ALL of my parents' and our worries throughout the whole process. There are so many choices to make along the way and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Marian to guide me with her industry knowledge, connections, and experience. I can't recommend Porch and Pearls enough to any future bride!

— Lauren M. (10/15/22)

Porch & Pearls was the best decision we made. Planning our wedding through the pandemic was the most stressful experience—until Marian came on board. She always had time for us, never forgot a detail, and guided us through our decision-making. I credit her and her alone for my wedding being better than I could ever imagine. She took care of every detail. My other vendors were asking for her phone number to work with her again. Look no further for your wedding planning team! If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.
