Wedding for you by Marie testimonials
"I would not hesitate to recommend Marie for anyone planning a wedding on any scale'
"Marie did a phenomenal job with our wedding. We wanted a very informal, festival feel at our holiday home in Suffolk. We needed Marie to pull together all of our suppliers and co-ordinate the day, as well as think of all the extra details that make a wedding party so special.
Marie went above and beyond, and her attention to detail made the day a truly memorable one. I would not hesitate to recommend Marie for anyone planning a wedding on any scale."

"We really could not have done it without her.. It was a perfect day'
I was planning a wedding in Suffolk, for the last of my children. A wedding at home, in the garden. It had to look effortless, informal, and every thing had to be sourced locally.
Ninety plus guests, several children, lunch, evening fun, unsettled weather all had to be taken into account. We had to ferry guests coming from different places into the countryside where there is little public transport, and get them home to their hotels and various lodgings.
Frantic, with the worry of all the organisation required and having to co-ordinate so much I contacted Marie Clarke, local too, with a lovely picture of herself on her website. She understood exactly what we wanted. She came on numerous visits, soothed nerves, made suggestions, and did the huge job of coordination that was needed. She understood that we wanted informality but for the day to work like clock work.
On the day she was of course there, manning the gate, watching the timing, the various staff, the guests, the children, everything. She moved flowers, lit candles, lit the garden unobtrusively so that the guests could just move from one space to another.
We really could not have done it without her.. It was a perfect day. I thoroughly recommend that you meet Marie Clarke before you get overwhelmed, as well you might, with organising such an importation event.

"Marie has been nothing short of amazing'
"Aiming for a non-traditional wedding was our aim and Marie Clarke has been nothing short of amazing, helping us to source ideas for venues which really captured what we were after, the classic vintage come modern. We're not very traditional and were definitely not looking for your run-of-the-mill formal wedding. We both highly recommend Marie as she has helped us not only to think outside of the proverbial box but has lowered our stress levels majorly as a result of all her help."
Thank you. Liam and Anna x (May 2014)

"If you are looking for someone to take the frazzle of planning your wedding day off your shoulders, someone who will do it with a huge smile and the greatest care, Marie is the girl for you.'
"Oh the fabulous Marie - where do I even start... Marie first worked with me at a wedding for 250 guests, a lot of whom were diplomats and dignitaries, and let's just say there were a few pretty major challenges to be overcome. She not only rolled up her sleeves and got stuck straight in (into the mucky parts 'n all), she also stayed calm under considerable pressure and was simply blissful to work with.

"She always has everything under control, she never gets fazed'
“It’s actually quite difficult to write this based on the fact I could quite happily write a lot about Marie. From a work point of view, she is one of those people that makes it look easy. When I watch her work she always has everything under control, she never gets fazed, she thinks of everything and can think so quickly on her feet that you watch her thinking “yep, that’s how I want to be.”
Marie does not do things by halves. And she makes sure that whatever project she is working on, the people that she is working with work to that ethic as well. Her attention to detail is spot on and based on her experience her empathy when dealing with her clients is very apparent. She pulls on that experience to make sure the tasks she undertakes are completed not only on time but in the exact way the client specified and exceeds expectations every time!
She also has a really fun, down to earth, happy nature that is actually quite contagious. She is a bit of an all-rounder really and I think that also crosses over into her work life and why her clients love her so much.
Overall Marie is someone who I admire greatly, someone who I love spending time with and someone who I’d struggle to be without!”
