Mali Makes It Happen

e wedding planner, Mali. From her very first conversations with the happy couple through the final farewell of the weekend, she was organized, calm, creative, and completely unflappable. What impressed me most was her ability to handle both the grand vision and the unexpected emergencies with equal grace. The wedding weekend involved coordinating family, guests arriving from around the country, multiple events, and countless moving parts. Somehow she made everything look effortless. One moment, in particular, perfectly captures who she is. Just before the ceremony, I was getting dressed in my late mother's gown, which I had carefully chosen to honor her memory. As I removed the dress from the hanger, the zipper suddenly broke. I thought I might not be able to wear it at all. Without missing a beat, Mali stepped in. Calmly, confidently, and with remarkable ingenuity, she literally pinned me into the dress so beautifully and securely that no one would ever have known there had been a problem. What could have become a stressful, emotional disaster became simply another example of her professionalism and kindness. Throughout the entire weekend she anticipated needs before anyone voiced them, solved problems before they became visible, and allowed our family to be fully present for every special moment. Instead of worrying about logistics, we were able to focus on celebrating Spencer and James and creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you are looking for someone who combines exceptional organizational skills with genuine warmth, creativity, and grace under pressure, look no further. She was worth every penny and then some. Our family will always be grateful for the role she played in making Spencer and James's wedding so joyful, beautiful, and unforgettable.

o use a wedding planner at all. Our venue required one, and at first we were honestly a little frustrated because we thought we could handle everything ourselves. Looking back now, I truly can’t imagine how much of a disaster our wedding day could have been without Mali. From the start, she was incredibly organized and supportive. She met with us multiple times, kept us on track, and created detailed to-do lists that made the entire planning process feel manageable. There were so many little details and logistical things we would have never even thought about that Mali caught ahead of time and solved before they could become problems. Leading up to the wedding, she created detailed schedules for the entire day—not just for us, but also for our officiant and family members. She coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure they had everything they needed for our venue and that everyone was on the same page. On the wedding day itself, Mali went above and beyond. She set up our tables, menus, and welcome table, assembled our cupcake tower beautifully, and made sure everything looked perfect. She stayed the entire night and even handled cleanup at the end, which allowed us to fully enjoy the celebration without worrying about a single thing. I’m sure there were also countless things she handled behind the scenes that we never even knew about—and that’s exactly what makes a great coordinator. If you’re thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, I cannot recommend Mali enough. She will absolutely exceed your expectations and make your day run smoothly from start to finish.

ediately that Mali understood my Type A self and exactly how to assist me leading up to my wedding as well as on my wedding day. She was so detailed, organized, and communicative. You can tell she is not only passionate about her work, but she’s brilliant at it. I had gotten all my vendors organized for the most party so Mali really helped bring my vision to life, introduce me to additional vendors, and keep me honest in what would be worth while or not. I appreciate honesty and I was super appreciative that Mali would always provide her honest opinion when asked. There truly isn’t enough good things to say about Mali. Over the 8 months we worked together, she was just as passionate about my wedding day as I was and helped make the experience so much fun to plan. She always kept me organized and on track with timelines and due dates. When it came time for the actual wedding month, I was so stress free because everything was on track or ahead of schedule in terms of planning so there really wasn’t too much for us to do. My wedding week I slept well, was calm and very excited knowing Mali was on top of everything and any communication needed, she would make sure I was involved without it being a stressor. Even my family expressed how grateful they were that we had Mali to help run the show because it helped make our evening more present and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a wedding planning in the New England area, I would encourage everyone to reach out to Mali, it truly will be the best decision you make.  Thank you again Mali for being so brilliant, fun, and organized to work with. I know for a fact my wedding wouldn’t have been nearly as perfect without you. It was the best day ever and Liam and I have you to thank for it all!

act the venue and think through our vision and it coming to life there, including logistical considerations.  We selected her partial planing option but she went way above and beyond what we could’ve expected. She was always around for questions and suggestions throughout the whole process. She is easy to work with, super organized and her planning drive was a great tool that kept us in check.  In the time leading up to the wedding she helped us curate our vision, ensure we were on track, review contracts, helped set timelines and ensure our family and friends knew the plan and where they had to be and so much more. Day of she wore multiple hats - corralling friends , taking photographs, setting up the ballroom, ensuring all the details were perfect and aligned our vision, coordinating with vendors, prepping my outfit change, moving supplies around etc. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! She was there for everything we needed and we were able to just enjoy our day.  We were thrilled that our family and friends also were able to enjoy and didn’t have to worry about setting up or breaking things down.  Everyone appreciated her kindness, her patience and her clear communication. We can’t  recommend Mali enough for any or all your wedding planning needs! 

s each week. It was a huge help for us to know what we needed to work on, and when. She also handled all vendor conversations leading up to the wedding and it totally streamlined everything - and everyone loved working with her! On the day of, she made sure everything ran smoothly and that we didn't have to think of anything other than having the best day. I never had to worry about anything on our wedding day, and it truly changed everything. She was organized, professional, and also made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner to ensure the day goes perfectly!

e to start when we first met with her. She kept us on track and organized, and gave us "homework" in between meetings that had us checking things off the list right and left! Many people thought we were crazy for not taking longer to plan the wedding - but we had Mali in our corner, and she certainly Made It Happen! Our guests are still raving about it!

helpful in keeping us on task and to timeline. It may have been our wedding, but she was the MVP in getting us across the goal line.

LOVED everything about working with Mali. We could not have gotten through our wedding planning if it wasn’t for her. She is very organized, professional and a wonderful support. Her passion and personality for what she does shines right through. After our wedding we had messages from loved ones about how awesome she was and how they could connect! She made a lasting impression and we will forever be grateful for her.

gistics given Mali's meticulous preparation and attentiveness during the day-of festivities. Look no further!

. Her calm and collected demeanor during the planning process and on our wedding day made what should be a very stressful time the most enjoyable! She asks all the right questions and has all the right answers. She feels like a close friend while exhibiting the most professional behavior. I would recommend Mali 10 times over to anyone! Thank you, Mali, for all you do/did!

to be the perfect wedding planner. She was extremely personable, and right away showed genuine interest in learning how she could make the wedding day perfect. From the moment we booked her she was incredible and went above and beyond for us. For example she checked in with us prior to the agreed upon, 8 week wedding planning booking, was available at basically all hours of the day via text and call and was very quick to respond, and on the day of, helped move everything along- even advising on how to resolve difficult family situations, which was unbelievably helpful. Throughout the whole process not only was Mali extremely detail oriented, and unbiased (which was also incredibly impressive) but she was also extremely personable and caring! I really felt like she treated me as if it was her own wedding, which was extremely special. Mali is so kind and very easy to get along with! All my vendors loved her! I really feel that you would be lucky to work with her, and guarantee you that her keen attention to detail combined with her peasant nature will make a huge difference, in guaranteeing your wedding day is everything you ever wished for, and more :)

ing up to the day, thought of things we hadn't thought of and managed to execute the exact vision we were looking for on our wedding day. On the day of, during setup, Mali noticed some potential some changes to decor or timelines that might work better than was originally planned such as the favor display. She checked in with us on these things to make sure we were okay with them and her suggestions ended up being even better than the original plan. We didn't need to lift a finger the whole day and just got to enjoy everything from beginning to end. It was absolutely perfect and this could not have happened without Mali!

with us often and set up weekly meetings to keep us on track. She also communicated with the vendors, family, and wedding party to make sure everyone stuck to the schedule she laid out. She also had options for rentals that helped us save money, as we had the wedding at our home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married!!

sure your vision becomes a reality. She also is a very good communicator and updates you and asks questions as you go along because she really cares about her clients. Finally, Emily has a lot of heart and passion for her work and it's very clear in the way she works with you. She really goes the extra mile for her clients and makes sure they are satisfied with anything before it gets finalized. She also takes care of so much of the nitty gritty that the client doesn't want to deal with. She really makes the event planning process a breeze. I think anyone that works with Mali Makes It Happen is going to be glad to have worked with her, especially when they see what she can do and how much she is committed to her clients.
