One of my favorite people
Absolutely exceptional! Donnamarie exceeded our expectations. From start to finish. She was great at making sure everything was taken care of. Making sure I was achieving all of my tasks on time! She is the queen at giving me many options to choose from, and more if I need them! Donnamarie always made me feel comfortable. I was always in good hands with her. The team she worked with on our wedding day was amazing as well. The vendors she found for me, EVERY single one of them were so amazing. We are so so happy with our overall experience! I would recommend Donnamarie to any bride who is planning her wedding day! ❤️Absolutely exceptional! Donnamarie exceeded our expectations. From start to finish.

I know you and your guests had an amazing evening but I'll let you in on a secret... the entire vendor team had a blast celebrating you and Thomas! I'm happy to know the multiple vendor options weren't overwhelming because building the right vendor team to fit your personality and style of wedding is key. Thank you for selecting us to be part of your day, I loved every minute of planning with you! -

The very best in Sarasota
Donnamarie and her team were absolutely incredible. At times, we needed a lot of prompting to follow up on decisions. Our wedding day was stress free thanks to their attention to detail! 10/10 experience.Donnamarie and her team were absolutely incredible.

Omg! It was so great!
At first things were slow but as soon as we got a clear cut number and the budget together, things went smoothly.
I had my own venders that CoraMarie used and also used others she recommended.
Things went so well that my sister is going to use them next year.At first things were slow but as soon as we got a clear cut number and the budget together, things went smoothly.

Make the right choice...CoraMarie Events
Proven: If you are having an event, and you will be center stage of the event, you need an event planner.
From initial to final meeting/interaction Cora Marie Events was professional, pleasant, resourceful, and knowledgeable. My planner (Donna Marie) was always responsive and helped me explore every interest and option. There were major changes from my initial wedding plans to final event, and I felt like I could be my honest, hopeful, flawed self, without judgement.

You would not go wrong if you choose CoraMarie Events!
Wow - we do not even know where to begin! We absolutely ADORE Donna and cannot thank her enough for everything she helped us with during the wedding planning process! We seriously thanked her probably 1000 times on our wedding day because of how amazing we felt she had been to us throughout the whole process. We should've known how incredible Donna would be right away from how organized and detailed her proposal was when we inquired about her planning services. The first day we met her over Zoom, we knew she would be a perfect fit. Planning a destination wedding can be hard, but Donna made it sooo easy! We asked her a million questions and a million times she would answer quick and would give us good recommendations on what to do! The timeline that Donna built for our wedding day was also incredibly detailed which ensured every vendor was on the same page. As if she wasn't amazing enough during the planning process, Donna and her assistant, Caeli, knocked it out of the park on our wedding day! They ensured our vision came to life and everything they set up looked absolutely incredible! Not to mention how smoothly they handled any problems during our wedding day. One of our vendors tried charging us a lot more money and Donna helped us handle the situation quickly and effectively! In addition, my dress bustle fell off within a few minutes of dancing and Donna quickly called me over and safety pinned my dress up. That probably was not even a part of her job description, so that should tell you how caring and attentive Donna is! If something else went wrong during our wedding day, we had no idea! We were impressed at how present Donna and Caeli were throughout the whole wedding and they did phenomenal at keeping everything running smoothly. One last thing that impressed us about Donna and Caeli was how they maintained such a calm presence during the planning and the actual wedding day! CoraMarie Events was, hands down, the best vendor we hired - we would chose Donna and her team again in a heart beat!Wow - we do not even know where to begin!

🥹 Come on don’t make your planner emotional! Your wedding day is so important to myself and the team. We treat it as if it were our own and want you to have the best memories. Thank you for trusting me to always have your back and for being an amazingly sweet couple to work with. -

Donnamarie is a wonderful planner and coordinator. She is upbeat, responsive, and full of great ideas. She brought our vision to life so beautifully; I always joked that I felt like she lived in my head because she understood everything I wanted so perfectly!

Our Experience with Cora Marie Events
My husband (woo!) and I used Donna as our wedding planner for our wedding in March 2023. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further, congratulations, YOU FOUND THE ONE!
We hired her for the "month of" package and her assistance, guidance, and coordination extended far beyond the basics of her package. From the initial introduction call, we could tell she understood our vision and would do whatever it takes to bring it to life. She met with us at the venue when we originally booked with her and she also met with us virtually and answered my million+ emails throughout the year of planning. Donna really went above and beyond when it came to our rain back-up plan. Our venue was completely outdoors for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. When the week of the wedding arrived, the weather wasn't looking great and Donna dropped everything to do another meeting with the venue to try and come up with a plan B. Luckily it ended up not being needed but we trusted we were in great hands regardless.
Trust me and hire Donna for all your wedding needs. My husband and I agree that if we were to do it over again, she would be the first person we'd call!My husband (woo!) and I used Donna as our wedding planner for our wedding in March 2023.

😭 DARBY!!! This is so touching, thank you for your kind words. I'm happy the rain held out too. Everything was beautiful and everyone was so happy. It was certainly a great wedding! In 25 years when you open your time capsule send me a message I'd love to relive the day with you again. -

Best Wedding Investment
I would recommend CoraMarie Events over and over and over again! DonnaMarie was so wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding planning journey. She's very kind, caring, very responsive and has such a calming aura about her. Anytime I had a wedding question, which I had a lot, she always gave me options to help me decide. She was always on top of our wedding planning tasks each month to keep me on track. Where she really shines is the month of and day of wedding. The timeline/itinerary she creates was beyond helpful. There's absolutely no way I would have been able to plan this wedding without her. Everything was perfect the day of! If anything did go wrong, I'm not even aware of it. DonnaMarie is very special and I'm so grateful to have found her.I would recommend CoraMarie Events over and over and over again!

One of the best you can hire!
When I first met with vendors I was struggling to find the perfect fit, until I met with DonnaMarie. When we initially started talking it felt like she knew exactly what I was looking for and her personality just fits right in. Her spunky and charismatic personality made me feel like choosing her would be a great fit. DonnaMarie and her team were worth every penny we paid and then some. We opted to do month of services and boy was it well worth it, the month of relaxation is exactly as she put it. Once I told her what all we expected and our ideas for the perfect day she took the reins and handled everything with ease. She is very organized and keeps you updated with what to expect, what to do, and anything in between. I absolutely loved that she kept me on top of the things that I needed to get done. When it came down to the final stretch for our wedding, she helped keep me calm and took over communication with the vendors. I loved that I didn’t have to do much towards the end, her and her team had made sure everyone knew what to do, where to set up, and where to be on time. During the day of, she made sure to have texts set up throughout the day to remind everyone of certain tasks to be done. Our day was perfect and she definitely made sure our vision for the wedding set up came to life and made our day or and work leading to such a breeze! I’ve had other friends who have cut their budget on coordinators for their weddings and they got exactly what they paid for…. 100% recommend to spend the money for DonnaMarie and her team as she will make sure your wedding dreams come true and stay sane in the process.When I first met with vendors I was struggling to find the perfect fit, until I met with DonnaMarie.

I want to relive my wedding day!
I had the hurdle of finding a venue with a date my husband and I were okay with. Along the journey, I researched and met with wedding planners. Once I was able to secure a venue and wedding date, I recapped the wedding planners I met with and met with Donnamarie again in hopes she was available for my wedding date. And she was! I chose CoraMarie events because of the connection I had over the phone with the owner, Donnamarie. She is focused, calm, thorough, light-hearted, and sincere. Another important factor for me was that her team focuses only on ONE wedding a weekend. I knew I would feel more supported this way.
My planning service with CoraMarie events was worth the investment and thankful to have had a wedding planner for 6 months to prepare for our special day.
Working with Donnamarie in preparation was well organized. As the date got closer, I would have weekly meetings to review my checklist to keep me ahead of things so I could relax the few days before the wedding. She was thorough in helping me think about logistical things I wouldn’t know as a 1st-time bride and helped me understand my vision.
I valued my weekly sessions with Donnamarie and she became my wedding bestie! This showed me she was invested in ensuring my wedding planning and wedding day were a memorable and enjoyable experience. On my wedding day, Donnamarie also made sure my husband and I had a to-go plate for our dinner since we didn’t get to eat during the reception!

Wedding Day Chaos Coordinator to the Rescue!
Where do I even begin! CoraMarie Events came to the complete rescue for my wedding day! I had basically planned the entirety of our wedding but the days were numbered and the to-do list just kept growing! I was referred by both a good friend and photographer (Jillian Margaret Photography) to reach out to CoraMarie Events to see if they would be available to take on the task of CHAOS COORDINATOR! Donnamarie (Owner) responded to my plea within 5 minutes, she was available for our date and she made the last two months of planning a dream! The wedding day wouldn't have been the same without this wonderful coordinator! CoraMarie Events blew my expectations out of the water! The best money we spent for our wedding was definitely with CoraMarie Events. You will be so pleased with the process of planning! Best event coordinators ever! Photo represents DonnaMarie never stopping throughout my wedding day! She was always right there making sure I was always put together!Where do I even begin!

The wedding planner of your dreams!
I cannot recommend Donnamarie and CoraMarie events enough! Truly, my wedding simply would not of happened without her and her amazing team.
Initially, her responsiveness and thoroughness was refreshing and noticeable. She got back to this night shift nurse’s inquiry later in the evening and was so pleasant and informative. Instantly, and for the first time, I was SO excited to plan a wedding.
CoraMarie Events made the entire planning process easy and fun. She captured my style so effortlessly and designed the most beautiful ceremony and reception. She was so attentive to every single detail.
The day of, she was the most kind and thoughtful support person. From helping me get a stain out my dress to bustling my gown, there was no task too small for her. She made me feel so relaxed so I could truly be present and enjoy the day.
Truly, the best money I have ever spent. I am so grateful to Donnamarie and her team. She executed the best day of my life and made it look easy, and I am so grateful.
I cannot recommend Donnamarie and CoraMarie events enough! Truly, my wedding simply would not of happened without her and her amazing team.

Mother of the Bride recommendation
Highly recommend Donnamarie Williamson at Coramarie Events as wedding planner/coordinator. We/parents live in Kentucky and daughter/bride lives in Orlando and wedding was in Sarasota. Donnamarie helped us pick quality vendors that worked with us and our budget. She responded to every email and question promptly. She and her team were amazing on wedding day... I had no stress! She is totally worth the investment.Highly recommend Donnamarie Williamson at Coramarie Events as wedding planner/coordinator.

What A Beautiful Wedding
Donna and her team were amazing and from the very start knew exactly what we needed even when we had no clue what we were doing. She made our day one of the most memorable and best of our lives and we definitely could not have done it without her.Donna and her team were amazing and from the very start knew exactly what we needed even when we had no clue what we were doing.

We would give 6 STARS if we could!
I think we can sum up our experience with Dona with one story. We were engaged in 2018 and met Donna shortly after at a wedding expo. Her positivity, creativity, and all around infectious light made us feel so comfortable trusting and working with her on the most important day of our lives. We planned to be married in May of 2020. However, due to COVID, we had to push our wedding back to February 2021. 10 days before our wedding our photographer, who has been working with us since 2018, felt uncomfortable with COVID, and we felt it was best to go into a different direction We totally understood and just wanted to make sure that everything was handled in the proper way. Donna and our photographer were nothing but professional, and within a day, the contract was changed and our money was sent back to us. By the next morning donna already had 3 new photographers set up for us to interview that night, and we actually ended up picking the new one that night. The day of the wedding no one could even tell there was a change. That who Donna is. She is a BOSS.
She is SUPER organized and is thinking 2 steps ahead of everything. Her ability to adapt and adjust in these crazy times are incredible. The day of the wedding, she was like Tom Brady throwing touchdown passes and controlling the offense. IF there was an issues, we had no idea about it, because donna would address the issue, and solve the problem before we even had a chance to realize it.
Not only would we recommend her to any couple planning a wedding, but she is now a part of our family for life. We cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and dedication to this process.
With that all being said, we HIGHLY recommend donna and her company for any wedding or event planning that you need!!
Thank you Donna and her team for making our wedding day dream come to life!! You are all now stuck with us forever 😊
Sincerely,
Traci & Jamey McClendon (2-7-21)

Look no further!
If you’re looking for a wedding planner/coordinator go no further! When we had to change our plans due to covid we knew knew it was time to bring in a wedding coordinator. Our ceremony would stay on the beach, but our reception was no longer at a venue and now in my mother’s backyard. There was no way we could put the stress of the day on her. When looking for a planner I had to make sure that they would gel with not just me but my mom as well, and after speaking with several people I knew Donna would be a great fit. I didn’t want my mom to stress the day of and worry about her home being ready, and thanks to Donna and her team my mom was able to have an enjoyable day/evening.
Donna did an amazing job coordinating EVERYTHING with our vendors and the timeline was perfect. Multiple locations, no problem. She managed it with ease. I had zero stress on my wedding day and any stress I had leading up to the wedding Donna was there with a listening ear. I highly recommend Donna and her team, I know you won’t be disappointed :)

Outstanding
All I can say is “WOW”! Donna & her staff delivered us a perfect day. Things got very stressful with family and deadlines, but having Donna there made me able to enjoy my day with no worries that things were not going to be perfect. Both of us agree that purchasing her services was our best first decision we made during the planning process.All I can say is “WOW”! Donna & her staff delivered us a perfect day.

My Saving Grace
There truly are no words to describe what Donnamarie means to us! From the moment we met with her, she understood what was important to us.....family! I think it is important to mention before I proceed that I have PTSD; so, it is very difficult for me to be in crowds, meet new people, even making a simple phone call is tasking and Donna was more than understanding! I truly feel she went far and beyond her call of duty without ever making my stress level rise!! And that was HUGE to me cause I stress a whole lot!!
Donna, captured our theme, idea and how we wanted our day to go, instantly! She made all appointments necessary and was brutally honest when I'd ask for her opinion (which I LOVED); she never forced ANY vendor on us and respected our decisions. She kept us on track which I appreciated because I am a very forgetful person.
As a nocturnal person the app she uses between her clients and her is amazing!! I was able to go in and add pictures, inspirations, ideas, ask questions, etc....all without bothering her after hours. Yes, I am that intense! Donna was on top of it all!! I truly do not know how she does it or if she even sleeps!!!
When Covid-19 crawled it's way in to our lives and our April 18th bridal shower had to get cancelled, I began to freak out about our wedding date....Donna did everything but hold my hand to calm me down (as per social distancing) LoL!
Because of Covid we had to make a hard decision and postpone our wedding due to more than half of our family members traveling from NYC, NJ, CT, PA & NC would not be able to attend. While it depressed me for days, Donna's encouraging words and her sunny-upbeat personality made me feel better; she handled everything with the vendors and even emailed only my fiancé so that I would not be burdened with so much negativity. Donna truly made everything so much easier for us from the start and was such a joy to work with every step of the way that it also hurt me for her.....for all of her hard work and dedication to our day. I am beyond grateful to have met Donna & her team, grateful to have worked with her and we look forward to hiring Kiss of Perfection again to put the final touches on our day once we are back on track!!
"Donnamarie, THANK YOU! And you most definitely are
My Saving Grace!!"

Sandra, thank you for everything. Working with you and Eric has been wonderful. I love how your personalities compliment one another and the love you two share is so real. My goodness girl reading your review has me crying over here. I’m so happy that all the planning tools we used help keep your stress level down and keep you on track as that is my ultimate goal. Even though COVID has caused so many problems keep the faith and stay strong. WE are going to get you both down that aisle! -

Great wedding, thank the planner
Donnamarie was such a pleasure to work with. She kept us organized, on track, and I really appreciated how she kept us on budget. She listened to our ideas and helped find multiple options/vendors that made them all a reality. She was so easy to talk to and was always understanding and so helpful. The day of the event she took care of everything, including working with our of our guests and vendors on COVID safety measures, which allowed me and my wife to enjoy our wedding day. I highly recommend Donnamarie, she is wonderful.Donnamarie was such a pleasure to work with. She kept us organized, on track, and I really appreciated how she kept us on budget.
