Marriage and Mimosas

erviewed several. Sam was the first to respond to my inquiry (on a Sunday!), and we set up a call for the next day. During that conversation, she gave me a crash course on the wedding planning process and explained everything her team offered. I was nervous because we only had ten months to plan, but she confidently assured me that it wouldn’t be a problem. I knew after that conversation that I wanted to work with her, but I continued interviewing other planners to do my due diligence. Throughout that process, Sam stayed in touch, and no one else I spoke with came close to matching her professionalism, responsiveness, energy, and expertise. After we officially hired her for full-service planning, she exceeded every expectation. I’m very type A and tend to be anxious, and she always responded to my frantic texts within minutes, reassuring me and explaining her plans in concrete terms that immediately assuaged my fears. I also work a demanding job, so I often couldn’t review wedding-related emails or texts until late at night or on weekends, but Sam and her team were always available to answer questions and talk through ideas. Throughout the entire planning process, Sam was truly my rock. Sam is also incredibly talented, and her eye for design is unmatched. After our initial meetings, she created a beautiful mood board that perfectly captured my husband's and my vision and the feeling we wanted our wedding day to have. The final result was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, thanks to Sam’s creativity and incredible attention to detail. In addition, Sam’s vendor recommendations were phenomenal. She and her team presented several thoughtfully curated options for every category, coordinated meetings, answered our questions, and guided us through every decision. Importantly, Sam stayed conscious of our overall budget, and worked with us to make adjustments where necessary. I never felt like she was pressuring us to spend more than we planned for, and we ended up staying right around the budget that we set at our initial budget meeting, which is honestly incredible when it comes to weddings! Finally - our wedding day was an absolute dream. My husband, our families, and I felt so taken care of. Sam thought of everything and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the day ran seamlessly. I never worried about logistics or timing, and was able to be fully present with my husband and our family and friends. Everything went flawlessly, except for one moment - as I was walking up stairs to join cocktail hour, the heel of my shoe caught on a step and the leather strap broke!! I was devastated. However, Sam was completely unfazed. She had a backup pair of heels ready, and was about to send someone back to the hotel to grab another pair of shoes I had there, but then she looked at my broken shoe and realized she could fix it. She sewed the leather strap back together in 15 minutes, and I was able to wear my wedding heels (Manolos!) for the rest of the night (and have worn them several times since). She is truly a miracle worker. Our wedding was, without question, the best day of our lives, and that is due in no small part to Sam and the Marriage and Mimosas team. We are endlessly grateful that we chose her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

on family wedding on Chincoteague Island, VA. As we were planning our wedding from Chicago, virtual meetings and an in-person walk through of our venue showed a level of care that set the tone for everything that followed. On the wedding day itself, our M&M coordinators were professional, quick to help with any task, and just absolutely BRILLIANT. They were calm through every moment, kept us right on schedule, and made sure everything ran without a single hitch. We were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about a thing, because M&M had it all handled. After our wedding, our families continue to sing high praises of M&M's role in producing an unforgettable day for everyone to enjoy. Hiring Marriage and Mimosas was the single best decision we made for our wedding. 

Sam Jaeger and the incredible team at Marriage and Mimosas. From our very first conversation, Sam was a breath of fresh air. One of our biggest worries was staying within our budget, but Sam managed it flawlessly. She was transparent, strategic, and knew exactly where to allocate funds to get the absolute most value without ever compromising on the elegance or details we wanted. Her industry connections are unmatched. Every single vendor recommendation she gave us was professional and out of this world. It was clear that she only works with top-tier professionals who respect her and match her high standards. Because of her trusted network, we felt completely confident in every booking we made. When it came to the big day at the Perry Belmont House, Sam and her team were dialed in from start to finish. Behind the scenes, they were an absolute force. During both the ceremony and the reception, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a single logistical detail. Sam took care of everything at the venue. If there were any hiccups, we certainly didn't know about them, she handles everything with such grace and quiet precision that we were truly able to just be present and enjoy our daughter's and son-in-law's day. Ally and David’s wedding went off completely without a hitch, and we owe that entirely to Marriage and Mimosas. Sam is professional, incredibly organized, fiercely protective of her clients' happiness, and just a joy to work with. Hiring her was the best decision we made! She will definitely be handling our next two weddings (whenever that might be :))

upportive. They handled every detail with care, coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, and ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. Because of their hard work, we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Instead of worrying about timelines, logistics, or unexpected issues, we were able to relax, enjoy our family and friends, and truly soak in every moment. One of the best things the Marriage and Mimosas team did was capture BTS content for us throughout the day, allowing us to put our phones away and soak up every moment. The day felt effortless from our perspective, which is a testament to how much work the Marriage & Mimosas team put in behind the scenes. Even when we had some unexpected rain mid-reception, their team was proactively removing outdoor furniture and handling the situation without involving either of us - truly allowing us to be present in every single moment of our wedding day.  Our guests repeatedly commented on how seamless and well-organized everything felt. We are so grateful for their expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care throughout the entire process. The entire team also integrated seamlessly with our family and friends, both while we were getting ready and during the wedding itself. They were truly a joy to be around. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without them, and we cannot recommend Marriage & Mimosas highly enough.

Oheka Castle on April 25th absolutely perfect. For the two months leading up to the wedding, Samantha and her team handled every detail with professionalism, kindness, and incredible organization. They coordinated all of the vendors, kept everyone and everything on schedule, and made sure our entire family felt supported, cared for, and stress-free throughout the process. Their communication and attention to detail were exceptional. They were especially sweet, attentive, and caring with the bride throughout the entire wedding weekend, making sure she felt calm, happy, and taken care of every step of the way. On the wedding day, when unexpected rain required the ceremony to be moved indoors, Samantha and her team immediately shifted gears and reorganized everything seamlessly. They handled the changes effortlessly and ensured the day still felt beautiful and perfect without missing a beat. Working with Samantha again felt like coming back to someone we completely trusted. She had coordinated our older son’s wedding at Alpine Country Club three years ago, and after such a wonderful experience, there was never a question about who we wanted by our side for Justin and Talia’s wedding. We already knew how talented, organized, and caring Samantha and her team were, but once again they exceeded every expectation and made our family feel supported every step of the way. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, caring, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, we wholeheartedly recommend Samantha and Marriage and Mimosas. Thank you for helping create such beautiful memories that our family will cherish forever!

ss feel so much less stressful. I had countless little details and moving pieces for the wedding weekend, and they handled all of it seamlessly. What stood out most was how much they truly prioritized me as the bride. They constantly checked in to make sure I had everything I needed — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. They created such a calm, supportive environment and made it possible for me to actually enjoy the weekend instead of worrying about logistics. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference, and we’re so grateful to have had them by our side for such an important moment!

e was there for me throughout everything which made such a world of difference. The wedding went off without a hitch thanks to her. Her team of Sophie and Ella were so amazing! They helped steam dresses, made the day flow amazing, and helped with cleaning up of the venue and delivering everything to our suite. The whole team worked their tails off and I can't rave about them enough. I highly recommend their services for any planning needs. The timelines and vendor communication were excellent. Thanks again to the best team ever <3

g, and overall fun this team brought to every meeting/interaction, made the planning journey so enjoyable and stress free. Lastly, Marriage & Mimosas helped us craft a realistic budget, STAY within budget, and made our wedding look INCREDIBLE- hard to do! Would recommend them 1000000/10.

bringing everything together seamlessly. We originally hired them for month-of coordination, but the value we got went far beyond that. Sam helped us early on with budgeting and then her team stepped in about two months before the wedding to help us finish planning strong, which made a huge difference and took so much stress off our plates. They were always responsive, easy to communicate with, and genuinely fun to work with. Plus, they have great taste. They helped us curate the most beautiful DC spring wedding.  We couldn’t recommend Marriage and Mimosas more highly!

recommend them to anyone!

to make the wedding planning process and the day of the wedding a total pleasure! We highly recommend them.

whole time leading up to my big day. They go above and beyond with not only handling vendors and fixing problems, but also have the most creative ideas for weddings. I feel like they were able to learn who I am and make my wedding specialized to me. I wish everyday of my life could be planned by Marriage and Mimosas!

called her crying more than once. Sam handled every single moment with such grace and so much support. Sam and her team were incredible and always available to answer questions. Paige and Beckie were amazing at helping me find vendors I genuinely loved, and Sam’s eye for design brought all my ideas to life in ways I never could have executed myself. I needed someone who could read my mind and take what I envisioned and make it even better than I imagined. Sam, Paige, and Beckie did exactly that. On the day of our wedding, Sam was present for every moment. As an anxious bride, I felt completely taken care of. She made sure I looked my best, felt my best, and that my family was handled with the same care. Everything she did was in the interest of me and my now husband. It was the perfect day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better planner. I would book with her a thousand times over.

d the wedding came together like a dream. I cannot recommend this team enough, and I wish each member only the greatest success and happiness. Thank you Marriage and Mimosas, you made my wedding day the most memorable occasion, and it was a pleasure working with you. 

me to completely relax. Hire them for month of planning, your life will get 1000x easier. I didn’t lift a finger or think of a single detail on my wedding day. They took care of absolutely every detail for a 250 person NYC wedding. I would not have had nearly as good of a time the week or day of my wedding if I didn’t have them.  Paige, Sam, and Sean you are the best!!! 🩷

rything went so smoothly. Beckie kept us organized and on track, and I was so thankful she even picked up all our wedding items ahead of time. Paige absolutely rocked the wedding day — she and the team (Beckie, Helen, and Sean) handled everything with such professionalism and grace, keeping things running seamlessly behind the scenes. They went above and beyond, even helping with brunch décor the next day. Beckie was wonderful at keeping us organized, on track, and aligned in those final weeks. I was also so thankful that she was able to come by and pick up all of our wedding items — a huge help during such a busy time! Paige absolutely rocked the wedding day. It was clear she and the team — including Beckie, Helen, and Sean — are true professionals. They managed every detail behind the scenes, gracefully handled any unexpected hiccups, and kept everything running smoothly (no small feat — it was like herding cats!). We’re so grateful for their hard work and care — it gave us true peace of mind and helped make our day perfect!

preciate their genuine care and concern for the bride and the mother of the bride. It was a beautiful day and I am grateful for their involvement. A huge thank you to Beckie and Paige who clearly love what they do. 

to every little detail. From our very first meeting, they made me feel heard, supported, and genuinely excited about the planning process. Every element — from the enchanting décor to the magical touches that nodded to our favorite Disney moments — was executed flawlessly. The team’s coordination, professionalism, and behind-the-scenes work allowed me to enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. Their dedication went above and beyond. It was clear that this wasn’t just a job to them — they were just as invested in making the day magical as we were. I truly felt like a princess thanks to their hard work and heart. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s both elegant and uniquely you, this is the team you want by your side. Thank you again for giving us a day we’ll never forget!

lutely perfect. They made the wedding planning process not stressful at all and actually fun. If you are on the fence with hiring a wedding planner - this is your sign to do it. They are 1000% worth the investment.

r's wedding. They took what I imagine could be a somewhat stressful process and helped make every step of the way, to include every part of the wedding weekend, fun and joyous! We are so grateful to them. They really are two beautiful souls----calm with exquisite taste and so much fun to have around! They were so responsive to any and all questions via text/ email/call---always enthusiastic and timely in responding. Both Sam and Paige were a delight to work with and we found we could trust their expertise and advice completely. The wedding ended up being exactly what our daughter and her now husband described wanting in the beginning---so elegant AND fun! Of note, our daughter's bridesmaids all commented that our wedding planner's scope of service was beyond anything they had experienced at other weddings they had been part of in terms of taking care of EVERYTHING and just being amazing! Once the wedding weekend was done, we only regretted that our time with Sam and Paige had come to an end....until we realized we'd be seeing them again some day-----we have another daughter! As you can tell from this review, they have our heartfelt endorsement. They are THE BEST!!

after my initial conversation with Sam. She was easy to talk to, understood my ideas right away, and was open to the kind of celebration I wanted to create. Throughout the planning process, I changed my mind on a few major items and the entire Marriage and Mimosas team handled every change graciously and without hesitation. They were incredibly responsive and made sure every detail was accounted for, especially on the wedding day. Thanks to their coordination, everything ran so smoothly and felt effortless on our end. We were able to just enjoy the day without any worries! Thanks to the M&M team handling all the logistics and capturing the special moments - I didn’t have to touch my cell phone one the entire day. The entire team worked seamlessly together to make the day happened, and we received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended. I also heard from multiple vendors that they love working with Marriage and Mimosas team and I can absolutely see why. Each team member brought something special to the experience: - Beckie was endlessly patient and responsive as I fine tuned plans leading up to the big day. The seating chart, menus, and smooth timeline wouldn’t have come together without her - Sam has a fantastic design eye and a creative vision that helped to bring together all my many ideas into one cohesive design. The final wedding design truly looked straight out of my inspo photos. - Paige was incredibly hands-on from the small to big details. She worked closely with our vendors to fine-tune every detail from developing the catering menu to adjusting timelines and logistics. On the wedding day, she even helped me into my dress. - Sean made sure everything stayed on track the day of at the National Arboretum. I don’t think the day would have run nearly as smoothly without him rallying everyone where they needed to be! Marriage and Mimosas is a great team, and I can’t thank them enough for making our day so personal, beautiful, and seamless.

d Mimosas saved the day. Truly our wedding would not have happened without Sam and her team. She has so much experience and just knew what we needed, when we needed it, without us even asking. Sam and her team went above and beyond, and I am forever grateful for them. Seriously they are INCREDIBLE! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Sam!!!

the planning process with 0 clue on the vibe of our wedding; M&M helped steer us in a direction that we could have never imagined or thought of on our own. Sam blew us away with the design process and all the endless possibilities. Beckie and Paige led the operational planning and execution of our wedding and it was seamless from start to finish. They thought of every little detail possible- things that I would have never think of. Paige stayed by my side throughout my entire wedding day and eased any last minute jitters. The team was a joy to work with and was one of the best decisions we made. We could not imagine planning our wedding without them and we would 110% recommend the team to any bride and groom. Now that our wedding is over, we will miss them all so much!

rsal dinner and both events turned out even better than we could have imagined. As a Type-A bride, I felt so at peace in knowing with full confidence that the M&M team was on top of everything throughout the whole process and that we didn't have to worry about forgetting any details. They fully understood our vision for our wedding weekend - Sam has such an amazing eye for design that fully shined through. I would 1000% recommend the M&M team to anyone, it was truly one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding!

ut planning a wedding can seem overpriced, M&M felt like such a great value. Sam was extremely communicative during the planning process and we really felt like she understood our vision. On the day of, we felt at ease knowing that Sam and team could handle anything that popped up. Sam always went the extra mile, literally in our case, taking the time to drop off random items at our house after the wedding while we were staying at our hotel. But what really set M&M apart from the rest of the wedding planners we talked to was how comfortable they made us feel throughout the process. Whenever things felt overwhelming and stressful, we knew we could talk to Sam, and we would always feel better after. Our wedding was perfect and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks Marriage and Mimosas!

they planned and executed was really stunning, and all of the vendors they recommended were great. The whole team was so calm during the stress of planning and day of that it let me truly enjoy the whole day. 10/10 would recommend.

orked tirelessly within our budget, finding innovative solutions that made our special day unforgettable.

and genuinely made wedding planning fun and painless. She’s the kindest person that instantly makes you feel comfortable and puts all your worries at ease. Her team is top notch, taking care of all logistics, top to bottom. They’re an incredible group of women who are some of the best in the business.

day and we completely trusted her to execute that vision. She made us feel excited about planning at every stage of the process! Sam had a lot of great ideas for our wedding which we would have never thought of ourselves and she was also great at helping us make decisions, often knowing what we wanted sometimes before we even did. Her and her team (Paige and Beckie) were wonderful to work with and they made a process which can sometimes be overwhelming, one that was fun and not stressful at all. We would recommend Sam 100000% to anyone who is wedding planning and we would love to work with her again!

I had such a great time working with her throughout the whole process. I booked her as a partial planner right after I had booked my venue, so she was with me practically from the beginning. Her recommendations for vendors were excellent, and I truly felt like she totally understood my vision for the wedding. I was a bit of a non-traditional DC bride, and Sam was ready to role with that. Loved my wedding and loved her!

fter. Her and her team provide white glove service, accommodating any and every request, and ensuring that the bride and groom feel taken care of and prioritized every step of the way. She can tackle any challenge, and remains calm and focused under pressure. There is truly nothing Sam can’t do. She’s highly communicative, skilled, and has a deep knowledge of the industry with a wide network of vendor contacts, which she freely connects you to along the way. She’s highly organized, and provides very valuable structure and guidance throughout the wedding planning process. We can’t rave enough about Sam and her team!

erent private estates, which required essentially building two outdoor venues from the ground up. When the wedding weekend rolled around, it unseasonably rained both nights—but they were unfazed. My husband and I could relax and enjoy every moment worry-free as they handled all the curveballs. The weekend was a smashing success and we owe it all to the Marriage & Mimosas team!

t they handled me with such grace and patience, they made my wedding day so perfect! There are so many favorite points that this review could go on for pages but I’ll name my top three! 1. I’ll start with the best surprise ever! I wasn’t thinking much else to happen before the wedding and only doing the parents and bride groom first looks. After all that was done, Sam goes “okay we are going to hop in the car.” My photographer, Sam and Paige at marriage and mimosas SURPRISED us and took us around (very quickly making good time) between the monuments!!! We have the most amazing photos because of them and I am so grateful for making the surprise happen for us!!!! 2. I really liked the idea of having a QR code on my invites and all the RSVPing process done online. While this was my vision I had no idea how to put it together or where to turn to make it happen. Marriage and Mimosas had it all - from getting the QR code to setting up the RSVPing online through our website. 3. I had a vision for the flowers but my vision was out of my realistic price range. Sam helped not only obtain original proposals but then worked with the florist of my choosing to still make my vision possible even though it was my choice to downsize the flowers for the sake of the budget. I am beyond happy with how the amazing it all looked!!! Again can’t say thank you enough for making my wedding day just 100% perfect. Would recommend to anyone!

l oriented and has amazing relationships with all of her vendors. Her creativity and meticulous nature creates a one of kind experience for all of her brides. She is extremely responsive and a proactive problem solver as well. When hiring Anne, you can rest assured that your wedding day will be organized, stress-free, and the most memorable day of your life!

sband and my mom (sometimes all at once!). She went out of her way to help us add personal touches to the wedding and she and her team were indispensable on the day of. They went above and beyond to make everything perfect!

done - and at an extremely high quality. We had such a relaxing wedding planning experience and such a wonderfully memorable wedding day - and it's largely because of Sam. Highly, highly recommend.

l else makes each and every one of your dreams come true. Sam takes the time to get to know you better than you know yourself. She is there every step of the way to make your wedding even more magical than you would think is possible. Sam was highly organized, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire planning and execution process.She was always so calm, prepared and happy that there was never a second or moment of stress or anxiety felt in wedding planning journey or the wedding day itself. It is hard to imagine life before knowing Sam- I wish I was kidding when I said we are already planning a vow renewal just so we can work with her again. We cannot recommend Sam enough- working with her was an honor and a joy that we wish every newly engaged couple can experience! We hope she does this forever so she can plan our children's weddings one day!

email), and knows exactly which vendors to use to fit the aesthetic you’re looking for. On the day of, she took care of things I didn’t even know I needed which made everything run SO smoothly and stress free. Would 10/10 recommend

d an issue with the catering company we originally contracted with, Sam went above and beyond to help us talk through options and find a replacement at the last minute. For a year, Sam was easily contactable and extremely responsive, and never once did I feel like a question was too small. Everything on the wedding day flowed smoothly with her and her team, even going outside their job jars and helping deliver food to our guests when catering was running slow. I cannot recommend Marriage and Mimosas enough, they made the entire wedding planning process so much easier!

I’m in management at a high end wedding venue. I had a problem with the bartender (supplied from the catering company) they spoke to the head cater and got my drinks for the rest of the night. I’m so beyond grateful for them. I’ve never been treated so terribly at a wedding but these ladies saved the day. From one coordinator to another, truly amazing job. Hats off to you and your team ladies.

esmaid you can imagine just how crazy that would be. Her and her team were not only on top of every detail but they were dressed to perfection! From start to finish the weekend was well curated, detail oriented, and personal. It was such a pleasure being a guest at such a well planned and fun event. Highly recommend!!
