Margaret Rose Events

ferences and transformed them into the most stunning day. We're based in Chicago and Margaret is based in Miami, but we spent a day in NYC scoping locations and landed on The Soho Grand Hotel. This property was perfect—so romantic, classic, and picturesque. She found the most iconic location and navigated all the logistics with the hotel, securing our suite, and ensuring we’d have our ceremony on its private terrace. Once we had our venue secured she curated a perfect selection of vendors from photography to videography, florals, and cake. We met on a regular cadence and she offered so much support throughout our year-long planning process. Day of Margaret ensured that every detail was thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. On the day of our elopement, everything flowed seamlessly. We felt completely at ease knowing that Margaret had everything under control. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt special and stress-free, creating a day that truly reflected our love story. I cannot recommend Margaret enough. Our elopement was everything we hoped for and more—an unforgettable experience that we can only describe as absolutely perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Margaret, for making our "best date night ever" wedding a reality! We love you!

experience in the industry made the planning process totally stress free for my husband and I. She made our vision come to life in such a unique and creative way. It was the most chic beach wedding ever and everyone was in awe of how beautiful it was. Margaret also helped us select our vendor team and her recommendations were all a perfect fit for our style and our budget. Margaret’s communication and organization are unparalleled. She listened to and elevated our ideas and handled every aspect of the event with professionalism. On the day of the wedding she kept everyone on schedule and made sure that we stayed calm and had the time of our lives. We absolutely could not have pulled this off without her! She is a total pro and we cannot thank her enough for making our dream wedding a reality and for creating life long memories that we will treasure forever. Margaret Rose Events is absolutely a necessity!

company, I’m telling you now to stop overthinking it and look no further. Real life clients here who had the wedding of their dreams earlier this year (January 14, 2024) and it’s all thanks to this incredible woman. I SHOULD NOTE: I’m not someone who writes reviews because it’s the “nice thing” to do - I feel very passionate in writing this because Margaret’s services truly made what could have been a stressful experience into an easy, memorable process. She understood our vision perfectly and went the extra mile on numerous occasions to ensure that every element of our big day was seamless, beautiful, and authentically 'us.' Her expertise and ability to handle unexpected challenges (as there always will be) made us feel at complete ease. As stressful as planning a wedding may be, I can’t tell you how many times my partner and I mummered “Thank god for Margaret” to one another. She has an A1 list of vendors she can recommend to you, which ultimately led us to creating a real ‘dream team’ of wedding vendors. She handles every meeting and every annoying email you have to answer with the utmost professionalism and genuine care. I honestly wish I could hire her to take care of all my personal matters because she’s just so on top of everything she does! But seriously, We are forever grateful for the beauty she crafted, the friendship she offered, and the peace of mind she provided throughout our entire 14 month process. We could not recommend her enough to any couple seeking to plan their own dream wedding—she will exceed your expectations in every way.

ng of the wedding planning process, Margaret Rose exhibited the utmost professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail. Throughout the wedding planning journey, she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to her craft. Her ability to transform ideas and dreams into a stunning reality is nothing short of magical. Her impeccable organizational skills, creative vision, and exceptional problem-solving abilities truly set her apart. From catering, décor, and everything in between, she ensured every aspect of the wedding was executed flawlessly. Her warm and reassuring personality made every interaction a pleasure. On the wedding day itself, Margaret Rose worked tirelessly to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail was evident in every corner, and the event flowed seamlessly from start to finish. Remarkably, throughout the entire event, any challenges or hiccups that arose were handled with such finesse and efficiency that the bride and groom remained blissfully unaware of any issues. From the feedback I witnessed, the guests were thoroughly impressed. In conclusion, I want to emphasize that Margaret Rose is not only an extraordinary wedding planner but also a person of the utmost integrity. Her work ethic, professionalism, and the undeniable results she delivers are a testament to her dedication in her business. I wholeheartedly recommend Margaret Rose Events to anyone seeking a talented, trustworthy, and passionate wedding planner. Her contributions to my son's wedding were invaluable.

a wedding planner; she’s a compassionate advocate, a clear minded voice of reason, a gentle nudge in the right direction, the ears and eyes for every detail…and the consummate professional. She is a helper! She has an artistic eye, and an innate ability to “get” the vision. Without hesitation, I would recommend Margaret. I do not know what we would have done without her! Thank you from this Mom, for the HARD WORK, and for helping in a huge way to make my daughter and son in laws day one that we will cherish forever.

s we planned such an important event, and Margaret was absolutely incredible every step of the way. She kept us organized, made suggestions on items that weren't at the top of our minds, kept us on budget, and was so helpful in vendor selection, helping us narrow down options and make decisions. We truly would not have thrown even a fraction of the event that we did without Margaret. She made both the planning process and our day absolutely magical! I recommend Margaret highly and without hesitation. She's the absolute best!!!

telling my husband and I how relaxed we were throughout the planning process, and we always said “It’s because of Margaret!” She made the planning process so non stressful and her opinions on vendor selections down to the last tiny detail were invaluable. She would break things down very simply into a few different options she recommends, talk us through why, and guide us to a decision based on what mattered to us most. She caught every single little thing. She thought of things we truly never would have thought of. She also helped manage a number of behind the scenes fire drills day of so effectively that Jared and I didn’t even notice. She’s also a pleasure to talk to and be around. She is assertive yet also kind. I am someone who considers myself a decent planner and I wouldn’t have done a percentage of the job she did. We could not recommend her more!!

ely needed! She was professional, available, and detail oriented. She put us at ease and advocated for our exact vision. Highly recommend, thanks Margaret!!

d. It was great having her a resource to cut through the hundreds of vendor options and helping to coordinate them from first quote through to the end of the wedding. Her and her team day of were fantastic as well, helping to solve the small (but in the moment huge) problems that pop up that you'd never expect. She truly made the wedding seamless.

, Margaret was so kind in assisting with all my needs even months before the wedding. Naturally, on the day of the wedding, my nerves were on 100 but Margaret and her assistant helped me feel at ease the WHOLE TIME and literally saved me from any anxiety I had, even when one of our other vendors installed the wrong neon sign. (Margaret worked with the florists to make a quick fix and totally saved the day). There were a few things that could have gone wrong during the wedding but didnt because Margaret was there with a solution and was fully prepared. Newlyweds- if you're considering doing this on your own...DON'T!! There is so much that comes up on the wedding day that you may not be prepared for or want to deal with and having a planner there will help you ten fold. I highly highly recommend Margaret for any wedding or event services.

it feels odd to “review” someone you now consider a friend! One thing I know for sure is that our perfect, magical, dream worthy wedding would not have been possible if we did not have Margaret by our side every step of the way. From sourcing vendors, to supporting budget management, to providing recommendations for the tiniest of details, to keeping us informed on new trends that fit our vision. Tyler and I were engaged for 2 years before we officially tied the knot. And while I didn’t realize it at first, 2 years is a long time. LOL … over the course of 2 years, a lot can happen. Plans can change, pieces of your vision may alter, vendors might cancel on you — and more! Without Margaret, we would have never been able to keep our stress at an appropriate / healthy level. Not only in planning, but day of… MY GOODNESS you were the most professional and fun partner in crime for the day. Thank you for not only bringing our vision board to life, but ensuring we were able to enjoy every moment, in the moment. Thank you for bringing our picture perfect wedding to life — flawlessly! And for becoming a true, dear friend along the way. If you have the opportunity to work with Margaret, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT HESITATE. She will deliver on every single detail, and then some. We love you, Margaret. Thank you so freaking much for everything xoxoxoxo Love always, Maggie & Tyler (Mr. & Mrs Van Blarcom)

lawless. She has a warm and calming presence that puts everyone at ease. When I initial was looking for a wedding planner, I wanted someone who would give me ideas and just let me decide. I didn't want to organize anything and that's exactly what Margaret did. She was the contact person for all the vendors. She truly made my vision come to life.

seamless and stress free. I literally had people coming up to me the day of my wedding saying I looked so relaxed and that I looked like I was having so much fun. I attribute my beautiful and completely stress free wedding to the meticulous planning of Margaret. She's the best- could not recommend her more highly!

ssible without her. We were planning our wedding with Margaret for nearly two years. She was not only incredibly thorough, informative, and had such wonderful connections with vendors we never would have found otherwise, but she is also warm, calm, and kind. Something that’s incredibly crucial in someone planning the biggest event of your life! For the last two years, she has never once missed an email, deadline, text or phone call from us. And trust me, we sent her a bunch! She helped us remain calm throughout this process. Even the month of the wedding where many people talk about how overwhelming it is, I kept telling those closest to me I wasn’t stressed a bit because Margaret was on top of everything. It couldn’t have been more true. Our wedding day was a dream. Every single aspect we could have ever wanted in our special day came to life. Margaret and her team helped us navigate the day, made sure we didn’t have to do anything but show up, and most of all, made us feel so incredibly calm. There was truly not even one hiccup! My husband and I will never, ever be able to put into words how grateful we are for choosing Margaret to plan our wedding. Not only did she exceed our expectations, but she also became a very dear friend. If you are thinking of hiring Margaret Rose Events, do not think another minute. There is no one like her and her team. We are forever grateful!

e either of us had a paper due. Margaret did a fantastic job keeping us accountable to our goals and filling in when we couldn’t keep up. We live on the west coast but we were planning a wedding in my hometown in NJ. Margaret was very accommodating of the time zone differences and our limited availability. We did not actually see very much of Margaret or her assistant on the wedding day but everything seemed to run smoothly from our perspective and the day was absolutely magical. If anything did go wrong, we were never aware of it. My husband grew up in the UK and we had to postpone the wedding since much of his family couldn’t enter the country due to COVID regulations. Margaret kept our expectations realistic even when we didn’t want to hear it and when we got the go-ahead to move it, she handled every detail for us. She did an incredible job listening to our desires and helping us to find an exceptional vendor team. It was important to us to support women & minority owned businesses. Our favorite part of working with Margaret is that she shared these values and worked hard to find us a vendor team that not only did a fantastic job on our day but also reflected the diversity of the wonderful area that I grew up in!

tep of the way and helped us find the most spectacular vendors. Friends and family to this day say it was the most magical event and the wedding of the century. Thanks to Margaret this all happened! I dont know where to even begin with a review for Margaret. She was the perfect balance of professional, compassionate and creative. Margaret helped us reschedule our wedding (due to Covid) and not only was able to help us plan 1.5 weddings but she was so compassionate in a delicate time. She always informed us of the latest rules and restrictions and was extremely organized. Once we got over the Covid barriers, Margaret was able to help us dream about the finer details of the day. She was the main communicator with all vendors and made the planning process easy. She had reoccurring calls and very organized checklists to follow along. The day of was absolutely perfect! Everything went EXACTLY as planned. She kept all vendors on a very tight timeline which allowed us as the Bride and Groom to maximize our time with guests while still getting numerous photos taken. I contribute this flawless execution to Margert's organization skills and detailed (every 15 minute increment) timeline which she shared with all vendors. I strongly encourage all Bride and Groom’s to hire Margaret to be in charge of your big day!!! You will not regret it. Thank you Margaret we will forever be grateful!!

d an instrumental part in helping my vision come to life and helped guide us every step of the way leading up to our big day. Margaret has excellent vendor recommendations and provided great insight on helping select vendors based on my style and preferences. She has great attention to detail and can be counted on to deliver. Basically showed her my vision and price range and she was able to give me many options whether it was decor, flowers, food, band, venue, hotel, you name it. Honestly she is such an amazing person inside and out! I started with a wedding planner but now consider her to be a dear friend! 10/10 you'd be lucky to book with her!

e! Going into our wedding day, we felt completely confident that Margaret was on top of every last detail and would knock it out of the park...and she did not disappoint! She was professional, kind and always put our needs first. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and Margaret played a massive role in making that happen. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring her for your big day!

She helped coordinate all the vendors, lifting that responsibility from myself (which was greatly appreciated at that time!). She helped coordinate hair and makeup, go to the walk through at the reception and was there for the rehearsal at the church. Not only did she help with coordinating all the little and big things of that day but she was helpful in the moment- when I was stressed out over strangers entering the church Margaret calmed me down and helped me refocus on what was important! I would definitely recommend Margaret for Day Of Coordinator. She will help support your vision and make it happen without the stress of dealing with everything especially the last weeks leading up to the wedding.

ate and did so much work and coordination behind the scenes leading up to our wedding day that was immensely helpful. The main reason I wanted to hire a coordinator was so I wouldn't have to worry about anything on my wedding day, and Margaret was exactly what I hoped for - she handled everything, ensured that the day flowed seamlessly, and handled the couple of small obstacles we faced with professionalism and a positive attitude. For example, the florist did not deliver the correct style bridal bouquet and Margaret handled it without me having to say more than "that's not right". At the reception after my MoH helped me bustle my dress we realized there weren't enough bustle points to hold it all up and prevent me from tripping during the first dance. My dress was very free flowing and asymmetrical so I suggest we just cut the extra fabric. Margaret said of course not and proceeded to pull out a case of ~100 safety pins from her bag and personally spent 20 minutes pinning up my dress until it was completely perfect. All this is to say that if you hire Margaret she will ensure your wedding day is wonderful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner that will go above and beyond the job description.

xpect. The same time she is not put any stress on supplies, we feel to be respect and confidence the whole time during preparing wedding. I can’t wait to work with her and her team again ! She is one of most professional wedding planner in New York City !

re I knew what items needed to be taken care of. She was there every step of the way through COVID to keep us informed of what the regulations were and what she was seeing happen with other weddings. Margaret never pushed her own views or opinions on us, she was always 100% in line with our vision and helped guide us to achieve the look we wanted. The day of the wedding Margaret was running around making sure the (very last minute) escort cards I ordered were printed and accounted for. She was by my side the entire day and made sure everything went smoothly. If anything was less than perfect I would have no idea. She truly made it a beautiful day that I will remember the rest of my life. I even have people who were not invited to my wedding asking me for her contact information because they heard how beautiful it was! If I had to do it all over again there is 0 question in my mind that I would choose Margaret again in a heartbeat!

e best partners you can have at helping you tackle this gigantic task. She makes sure that every detail is taken into account and will ensure that your vision is carried out to its full potential. If you are reading this review your search is over, hiring Margaret Rose Events is the easiest decision you will make and you will be glad you did. Bravo Margaret Rose Events!

years ago to be our day of coordinator for our May 2020 wedding. Obviously things changed and our regular calls with Margaret were so helpful as we navigated contacting vendors and coming up with a postponement or alternate plan. Ultimately we decided to get married in a more intimate ceremony in November and Margaret helped with everything. She coordinated with our vendors and took the lead with asking questions and scheduling every part of the day. I casually mentioned wanting a vintage cab for our original day and she said she knew someone and arranged for us to have one! That ended up being one of the most special parts of our new day and it wouldn’t have happened without her. Once the day was finally here we didn’t worry about a thing. Margaret had it all covered. She directed all of us and kept everything moving on time. She even transported our luggage from our apartment to the restaurant since we were staying at a hotel after the wedding. There was nothing we asked her that she couldn’t do. She came prepared with a trunk of emergency items just in case and even had wifi in her pocket since our ceremony was on a boat and she knew we might need it when playing our playlist. I could go on and on but basically Margaret was invaluable and we will be forever grateful. Our day was so beautiful and she helped with every part of it. 2 weeks later and we are still saying Margaret is the best and that we miss talking to her! Thank you so much Margaret!!

things because of Covid were so seamless and easy with her. I thought I was organized and top of things until I met Margaret. She supported my vision while also giving helpful guidance. I didn't have to think about a thing on the day of my wedding which was so important on the big day. She is also creative and offers more than just traditional planning/coordination services. She designed custom menus and signs for me which were a hit too. I am hoping we can be friends IRL that is how much I love her!

knows her stuff. She made the wedding planning process so much less stressful and we were grateful to have her on our team. When Covid hit and we had to change our original plans, she pivoted right along with us. She was extremely professional when dealing with our vendors, and made it easy for us to focus on our new wedding plans. If you're considering hiring Margaret Rose Events for your wedding, DO IT! Thank you so much Margaret! Love - Mr. & Mrs. Galassi <3

th her! Even during a pandemic, she made sure we had everything we wanted out of our backyard wedding and she truly transformed the space! We would recommend her wholeheartedly!

omeone who had never given any thought to her wedding, I went into the wedding planning process completely blind. I hired Margaret as a full-service planner to direct me to not only find my vision but also how to make it happen and when. Margaret has done just that. From the start, she has been very responsive and attentive to my needs and always listens to what I want while doing the behind-the-scenes work to make it happen. She is extremely responsive and works hard at communicating with both me and my vendors, all while being honest and supportive. Her patience is also unparalleled, as she is always cheerful and professional while dealing with a ton of back and forth from me, often several times a day, on every detail throughout the last few months. She has been such a source of calm through the storm of COVID-19 and I am very thankful that I will have her on my wedding day. The pandemic has certainly changed the way the day will look, but I have no doubt that it'll still be perfect, in large part due to Margaret's precise planning. I definitely recommend her if you are looking for any sort of planning services!

d my wedding not once, but twice, & the calm in the storm has always been Margaret. Margaret has the perfect combination of being frank, honest, and transparent, but totally understanding and kind. I only hired Margaret as a day-of coordinator but she has done so much more. She has been there through every step & pointed me in the right direction anytime I had a question (which was A LOT) no questions asked. I have no doubt that my wedding will be nothing short of perfect with Margaret by my side. After speaking with 20+ planners when I started this journey, I could not be happier with my decision to book Margaret. I feel at this point, Margaret is more than a planner, she's a close friend. If you're looking for a sign - THIS IS IT. BOOK MARGARET.

with us 2 months before the wedding and she was SO helpful from beginning to end. She coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly. The best thing about Margaret is she KNOWS weddings, and she will anticipate problems before they even happen. During our wedding walk through with the venue she had all of the right questions, and helped up worked through logistical difficulties. Our venue staff were not the best, so having Margaret there to advocate for us was also really important. On the day of the wedding it was a heat wave, and the entire week before I was freaking out about the weather and Margaret talked to me every single day and calmed me down. I legitimately do not know what I would have done without her that week. Everyone in my family was so thankful that we hired her that week because she took control of everything and no one else had to lift a finger. She took care of all of our set up, and it looked perfect in the venue. We had a performance portion of the evening and it was very complicated to a) setup b) get all the musicians together and c) get all of our guests upstairs -- she made it look seamless! She also worked incredibly well with all of our vendors, and was friendly and kind. Margaret is calm, cool and collected and we highly recommend her to anyone. Margaret, we can't thank you enough for everything. You are the reason our wedding went off without a hitch, even in 110 degree heat.

ts. She’s easy to talk to and completely understood The vision we had for our big day. Neither my fiancé or I had much of an idea of what exactly it takes to pull off a wedding but Margaret was able to keep us in line and let us know about all the things that might’ve missed our radar without us having to stress. She really helped alleviate any last minute panicking and even throughout the planning process helped it be less stressful. The day of could not have been done without her. Margaret was so helpful with anything my husband or I needed and was able to put out any fires that arose. I could not recommend Margaret any more to anyone looking for a planner. It was by far the best decision my fiancé and I had made!!

and also kept care of everyone She was professional, organized and very calm! Definitely would use her again!!

zing and supportive creative partner and kept me on track and on budget through it all. Her calm demeanor and attention to detail allowed me to enjoy every minute of my wedding weekend without thinking about anything but my happiness. She was masterful! I would pick her again and again!!! I trusted her to mananage and plan one of the most important days of my life and she helped make it magical! She is awesome!!

turn. No question that the wedding was a beautiful event because of Margaret’s help. Her attention to detail is unparalleled. I would give 10 stars if I could.

helpful. As a bride you think you have it under control until 3 months before when everyone starts asking you a million questions and you have to organize another million things. Having Margaret there to coordinate with vendors and ask me the questions so the vendors didn't have to made my life easier. If I had any questions or had a thought pop into my head Margaret was there to answer any questions! She was amazing on the day of the wedding. She handled everything for me from tips to vendor setup to end of night clean up. She was there cuing us and the bridal party the entire night. I had a guest come up to me and tell me how great Margaret was because the strap to her dress broke and Margaret gave her a safety pin. My wedding was perfect because Margaret made everything easy for us. She is a must hire!

day truly amazing! We chose Margaret to be our day of Wedding coordinator and from our first meeting, we felt very confident that we will be taken cared of! That instant connection you feel like you've been friends for years! Margaret never fail to respond to all of our questions, she put together every detail, very organized and listens attentively to all of our crazy ideas! She went above and beyond to make sure the Bride is stress free! one of my favorite line from her was " talk to me, leave my bride alone!" (Brides, this is the kind of wedding planner you all need!) My friends and family loved her and that is one of the most important thing! Her coordination with other vendors are very professional and received great compliment from other vendors of how great her work is! Since Jeremy and i decided to ditch bridal parties, no MOH and BM, Margaret took the role of making sure my gown is bustled, organized my guest table, made sure my family and guest were all directed with marching and seating arrangement and most of all she never fail to make us feel that we are the most important person that day! A celebrity kind of feel! :) At the end of the night, Margaret asked us what's our favorite part of the day, and our response was "the best part is, we've met you!" Do not pass up the opportunity to work with Margaret, her pricing, professionalism, communication, and attention to details are phenomenal! We are so lucky to have found her! Super highly Recommended! 5 stars doesn't do her work justice, 1000 stars it is!

every step of the way, she kept me organized, on-track, stress-free and sane, throughout the whole process... even on my wedding day! She's a natural 'task master', coupled with a relentless attention to detail and a fierce drive to succeed, which makes her indispensable to any wedding or event planning team! She was cooperative when I was dead-set on what I wanted and offered creative solutions for when I was at a loss for ideas, all while keeping everything within our modest budget. The 'icing on the cake' was her assistant Dee, who added her magic to everything she touched. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out and I truly feel like they are now part of the family! XOXO

has a great eye for detail and impeccable taste. She has a great vendor list, and I truly trusted her with every decision.

ly thankful for Margaret. I cannot stress enough how exceptional her work was, and thanks to her, my husband and I had the most incredible and beautiful wedding.

re organized, more than my husband thought we were, and better prepared us for our day...things we didn’t even think of. By the end, we felt like pros and were ready for anything. On our actual wedding day, she was available, poised, and so friendly and accommodating to my family and friends. I am not sure if anything went wrong but from our viewpoint, things went smoothly which is the point of having a planner. We loved Margaret and will definitely be recommending Margaret Rose Events to all our engaged friends. And who knows, maybe she can do our baby shower in the future!!

I bombarded her with questions everyday, not just me but my fiance too!! She is very very organized from timelines, to payments, to everything in between, no detail went unoticed, i completely trusted her opinions. On the day of my wedding she made sure we had a great time and did not need to worry about anything...also did I mention our wedding was in Kentucky? That's right, Margaret planned an out of state wedding for us AND came in below my budget. I cannot say enough great things about her!!! Do yourself a favor and have Margaret plan your next event!
