Dear Hannah, dear Marie, it is simply indescribable - but we will try to write it down anyway 😂☺️ - how grateful we are to you for everything you did for us on our special day...
From our very first meeting, you enchanted us with your warmth and professionalism. It was immediately clear that this day would be perfect with you by our side!
Your planning was truly a masterpiece! You thought of everything, lovingly arranged every detail and made the whole process run so smoothly that we could really enjoy the day. Thanks to you, we were able to sit back, relax and just celebrate!
The beautiful decorations, the delicious food and the rousing music – everything was just as we had dreamed it would be. Your creative ideas gave our party a very special magic. It was simply magical!
The enthusiasm you brought to your work was always palpable. Even when we contacted you for the umpteenth time, you were always patient and friendly. Your calmness and composure carried us through all the exciting preparations.
You are not only excellent wedding planners, but also a wonderful team. We were very touched by your warm-heartedness and empathy. You understood and implemented our wishes perfectly.
We recommend you from the bottom of our hearts! Every bridal couple is really lucky to have you by their side. You turn dreams into reality and create unforgettable moments.
A thousand thanks for everything! 🎊🥂
With best wishes and lots of love,

To dear Marie and her incredible team: THANK YOU. I stumbled upon her work on social media as my husband and I made the bold decision to have a destination wedding...
I lived in California, he lived in Texas, and our wedding would be in Germany. Seemed a bit impossible to imagine that we could pull this off, not only because of the time difference/language barrier/distance of the venue but also because Marvin and I had very demanding hospital jobs with difficult hours. We met Marie on zoom and her charismatic energy and her positive “can-do” attitude not only reassured us, but made all of the challenges we had labeled in the destination wedding melt away and become something to look forward to… especially accommodating to ~150 people and making a glamorous castle experience in a small German town in the mountains. She has an incredible amount of patience, is very easy to communicate with (on WhatsApp and email and honestly any other way you want to communicate, she picks up), and she’s flexible (incorporating elements of the Persian culture and wedding traditions was important to us, she made it work perfectly). If we had to do it again, we’d pick Marie a million times over. She is graceful, intelligent, and a trail-blazing destination wedding planner. We loved our experience and are eternally grateful!

Absolutely perfect experience planning our wedding in Lucerne, Switzerland from NYC with this team. Thank you for your patience with our crazy schedules...
thank you for pulling us from the ledge with our crazy ideas (how about that wine station where guests can refill their wine?? Let’s never speak of that again), thank you for making things happen (that TV screen showing the soccer game at the welcome event was such a hit and done so tastefully!), and thank you for every micro decisions that you made (the flowers and menu cards being color-coordinated with the chairs?? Genius.). Truly, we were blown away by your taste, your professionalism, and your execution.
We are SO glad to have picked you as our planners (having interviewed 10+ options). You made everything a breeze! (And we even had many laughs along the way! How about those ttimes we didn’t turn on our video on Zoom and weren’t paying attention, and you rightly called us out!) So many people came up to us during the event and still today saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we have you to thank!
100% recommend! Already looking forward to working with this team for the reunion party.

Marie and Hannah deserve more than 5 stars! Our wedding on the Isola del Garda was a unique dream come true...
We are so incredibly grateful to have had them as our wedding planners. Many people told us that a destination wedding would be far too time-consuming to plan and that in the end you would just be stressed out. Thanks to the two of them, we noticed absolutely nothing of this and were able to enjoy the planning from start to finish. There was never a moment when we had any doubts as to whether it was the right thing to plan such a big wedding abroad. On the contrary, we can only recommend it to any couple, especially with Marie and Hannah as planners. Every suggestion for service providers fitted like a glove, not because we are not picky, but because the two of them developed such a great feel for us as a couple that it didn’t take us long to make decisions. We can’t say thank you often enough ❤️

Marie, we don't even know where to begin and where to end. The word thank you doesn't do your work justice...
Marie knows how to make her work not look like work, but like pure joy. She works with so much heart and passion that you get the feeling right from the start that you’re hiring your best friend, who has everything you need to be the perfect wedding planner.
Starting with detailed lists of locations that match the taste and ideas of the bridal couple, through recommendations for suitable and excellent service providers, to suggestions that you wouldn’t even think of yourself and that will make the wedding even more unforgettable! Marie herself has excellent taste, but knows never to put this above the wishes of her bridal couples. Instead, she listens completely to their ideas and gives them perfect and accurate advice.
What we particularly appreciated was her honest and realistic advice with regard to the planning details. Marie recommends what is necessary based on her experience and also says in the right places: “You don’t need that.” So you always have the feeling that you are getting the right advice (and in the end she was right about everything!).
At the latest after two corona-related postponements, we can say all the more that hiring Marie was absolutely right. At a moment when you can no longer think clearly yourself, Marie managed to postpone the wedding, including ALL service providers, to a new date next year in just a few hours. In addition, she always provided emotional support, comforted us and at the same time made sure that we could continue to look forward to our wedding. If there were any necessary changes to the planning, Marie didn’t let us know without also presenting two alternatives, some of which were even better.
On the day of the wedding itself, Marie is cheerful, unagitated and yet in the background she holds all the strings in her hand! No detail escapes her, she knows how to coordinate all the parts of a wedding with ease and make the bride and groom feel that everything is running smoothly. Together with Hannah, who shares Marie’s work philosophy 100%, our wedding day was perfectly organized and looked after from morning until late at night!
Hannah, our thanks also go to you, because you also accompanied us for almost three years and always met us with joy, also had an overview of everything and gave us excellent advice on everything. On the big day, you were also a huge support and we would always put our full trust in you when organizing and planning a wedding!
Marie, you’ve become a friend over the whole time we’ve known each other besides work. You are the kind of person that everyone wants to have in their life because your heart is made of gold! You do your job PERFECTLY and yet you make it look so easy. We would choose you again and again and can only recommend every planning bridal couple to take you with them on this wonderful time of wedding planning, because you make it twice as beautiful!

Simply outstanding! My husband and I are both doctors and work a lot...
Organizing a wedding alone was not feasible for us from the outset. I then came across Marie Alsleben and am infinitely grateful that we had Hannah and Marie’s support. Our celebration had to be postponed twice due to the pandemic alone, which went off without a hitch.
Our wishes and ideas were taken into account and implemented exactly as we had imagined. The selection of service providers, arrangements and appointments always worked. We always had a contact person. Above all, the support on the day of the wedding was worth its weight in gold. Without Hannah, this perfect day would never have happened and we are incredibly grateful for that. We were both able to approach the day completely relaxed without having to worry about what was going to happen.
She was also able to motivate me for the third attempt after two cancellations – my enthusiasm had waned quite a bit in the meantime after we had to postpone twice.
I don’t know how you could do a better job than we have experienced with these two.
A thousand thanks!

Dear Marie and team, Thank you for making our dream wedding into a reality...
We had our wedding two weeks ago, and all our guests described it as the best and most well organized wedding they have ever been to.
My husband and I are from California, and we weren’t sure we would be able to make a destination wedding to Germany happen until we met Marie. From the very beginning, her professionalism showed by her promptness in answering our emails and her willingness to work with us despite the time difference. Of all the wedding planners we reached out to, Marie was the one that made us feel the most comfortable in planning our wedding.
Throughout the one and a half years of wedding planning, Marie was always dedicated, professional, and hardworking while always having a smile on her face. Thank you Marie for your guidance and patience throughout the whole process and making it as stress free as possible. She connected us with the best vendors, which gave my husband and I the wedding we always wanted.
We also want to thank Sebastian and Hannah for helping out during our 3-day celebration and making it so much fun. We love you guys! We cannot thank you enough for creating one of the best days of our lives, and we wish you all nothing but happiness and success in the future!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! I have no idea how the wedding could go on without the help from Marie...
All our guests are amazed by how well organized our wedding is.
I will definitely recommend them to any wedding couple : )
