Maryssa was amazing from start to finish! We originally had her photograph our surprise engagement and were so thrilled with her work and energy throughout the day that we knew she had to be a part of our big day! When we discovered she was a planner, and not only an amazing photographer, we were sold. After hiring her, I also discovered her company had planned one of my friend's weddings that I LOVED, so I knew we were in great hands!
Maryssa was available and responsive, she went above and beyond for us and the tools provided in the package to help us plan were more than worth the value. She was present and collected on our big day and it brought me so much peace as a bride knowing there was someone we could trust in our corner. I am so thankful we made this choice!

Where do I even begin to express my gratitude to Maryssa, the owner and lead planner for our wedding, and the incredible team at SOS Events? Our wedding day was, quite literally, the best wedding I’ve ever attended, and it's something I couldn’t have dreamt up even if I tried. From the very outset, SOS proved to be our saving grace, and Maryssa's expertise and dedication were nothing short of extraordinary in turning our vague ideas into a breathtaking reality.

As someone who had little experience in wedding planning – okay, as someone who had absolutely no idea where to start when it came to wedding planning and only a fuzzy notion of what we wanted, Maryssa's patience, organization, flexibility, and ability to extract the series of adjectives I gave her to work with into something coherent, were a godsend. She listened intently to my scattered ideas, offering invaluable guidance every step of the way. Her genuine enthusiasm and unwavering support helped me navigate what are notoriously stressful moments of the planning process with grace and ease.

What truly set SOS apart was the sense of trust and openness that Maryssa cultivated. Unlike other planners we considered, Maryssa's approach was refreshingly judgment-free, allowing me to express myself authentically. This was especially crucial as I planned a wedding from afar in Sonoma/Petaluma, my hometown, while living in Wyoming. Maryssa's ability to build trust and confidence from miles away was truly remarkable. An additional point that sets Maryssa and SOS apart is they embrace creativity and don’t have restrictions that would’ve limited us to a list of 3-5 “approved vendors” like other planners in the industry.

Maryssa's expertise extended far beyond logistics; her meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive contingency plans ensured that we were prepared for any scenario, rain or shine. This level of preparedness allowed us to relax and enjoy our special day without worrying about unexpected challenges.

Even during a challenging period leading up to the wedding, Maryssa's compassion and professionalism shone through. She met us with empathy and grace, somehow managing to keep us moving forward even in the face of adversity.

Maryssa’s keen eye for design, fantastic relationships with vendors in the industry, and willingness to offer honest opinions allowed me to trust her implicitly. This level of collaboration is a testament to Maryssa's exceptional skill and the genuine bond she forms with both her clients and fellow industry professionals.

I've included some examples of the diagrams she created for us and the content she captured, which was so cool to have to look at right away.

In conclusion, I can't thank Maryssa and the SOS Events team enough for their unwavering support, creativity, and dedication. Our wedding day was a true reflection of our love, thanks to the incredible efforts of Maryssa and the SOS Events team. It felt like Maryssa and her team, as well as the other vendors were just as excited for our wedding as we were, which was a really cool thing to experience. The only regret I had is we opted for just the wedding planning package and had to do the rehearsal dinner/welcome event on our own. Get the full package, including the content. Trust me on this one.

I wholeheartedly recommend SOS Events to any couple seeking a wedding planning experience that is both seamless and unforgettable, and I would snatch her up as quickly as possible because she should be charging double what she does now, in my opinion.

World-class person and company, and absolutely worth every penny.

I'm a DJ/event lead with Golden Bell Music and I've had the pleasure of working with Seven Oh Seven on 3 separate weddings! I recently worked with Maryssa, who is the owner and was also the lead planner for the wedding. It was the first wedding of the 2024 season for me and it was a big one. Maryssa was so wonderful to work with. She really helped fill some gaps that would have been more challenging without her help. She's the perfect blend of being super on top of it and also being very relaxed. Always calm, confident and easy. She's a great listener and a great communicator.

Both of her assistants where wonderful as well. I've worked with Alyssa on 2 other weddings, both of which were smooth and fun. It was my first time meeting Tiffany and she was great too. They were all so helpful and professional.

As a wedding DJ, I have worked with all different kinds of wedding planners and I can honestly say that I very much look forward to any event I'm teamed up with Seven Oh Seven on. If you're looking for the best, look no further!
