  • "Maria was my planner for my 50th birthday celebration, and it was in a word, perfection. I was tentative about the logistics of having a large party, and my husband was especially apprehensive with the thought of putting it together. In stepped Maria! This event could not have been more flawless, and she knew my tastes immediately and followed suit with our budget, timing and effortless execution. She knew my venue before I did, and it ended up being a hidden gem that was talked about weeks after the party. Every vendor was handled with ease and mutual respect. There were surprises around every corner that were delightful to me and our guests. It seemed that every detail was handled without a single glitch although you wouldn’t know it, because Maria has such a calming professional demeanor that the host is kept completely separate to enjoy guests, soak up the moments of the evening and bask in party bliss! Maria has a true talent for listening to her clients, relentlessly keeping up with timelines and vendors, and pushing her efforts forward to create unforgettable events. Every detail was spectacular. It is her dedicated and passionate follow through that made that possible. I trust her implicitly with any monumental event, as this is what creates lasting memories".

  • "When East Coast family members announced a trip to California this spring, we decided last-minute to have a graduation party for our daughter. We had two weeks to plan it, and during that time we were flying out of state for the school graduation and two move-outs from different colleges. A friend recommended Maria, and we are ever so grateful. Maria listened attentively to our requests, followed our budget guidelines, and handled all the scheduling and coordination of vendors. From the moment she took charge, a weight was lifted off our shoulders and we were able to enjoy the graduation trips ahead. The flowers were stunning, the food was delicious, and the decor was tastefully done. During the party itself, she ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. Maria’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients, really sets her apart. We will absolutely work with her again, and enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of event planning services."

  • "Maria did a spectacular job curating my welcome summer soirée for 60 ladies. 
She created a beautiful tableau to reflect my Cape Cod theme. It evoked all things New England coastal! From the hydrangea floral arrangements to the seaside accessories she successfully created the mood I was looking for! She gave me several options for catering & bartending and together we chose the best fit for my party. She was extremely professional and managed the logistical details in the day of flawlessly. I highly recommend her and already have her booked for a fall party"!

  • "Maria Vanessa Events saved my social life. I am terrible at hosting friends, the very idea has me break out in hives. It’s hard to throw a great party but Maria makes it look so easy. She put together a beach party in Malibu for me, that also served as a fundraiser. Even the cheapest person was flowing with generosity after sipping on the signature cocktails Maria provided. There’s a special party fairy dust she seems to bring into every occasion"!
