Owners/Coordinators Meghan and Corinne are dedicated to organizing distinctive and stylish events of any size and budget and together with clients, strive to reimagine spaces and craft timeless experiences.

We hired Shawfield Events for design and day of services. The design support they provided helped us bring our vision of our day to life. They provided direction for rentals and items we needed to purchase - helping make sure we had everything we needed and were getting it as economically as possible. The day of service was invaluable! Having the team there to decorate and set up as well as manage the schedule and all of the moving pieces of a wedding ensured that we were able to focus on the day, each other and our guests. They managed communications with vendors and really saved our time and sanity. I highly recommend Shawfield for wedding planning and am sure our wedding day would not have been the dream come true that it was without their help and support!

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

Monarch Creative Events exceeded my expectations beyond belief! I am quite the control freak, but Alexa was so respectful of my ideas and tweaked everything to perfection. Any time I needed her opinion or advice on a matter, she was right there by my side (through email, text, or a phone call) with exactly what I needed. As you can see by the title of this review, my husband and I were not her typical bride and groom. We did not want a ceremony and we wanted something pretty casual with bits of tradition, but also something different than what most weddings are like. Alexa worked with us every step of the way, even went I went rogue on the décor instructions, and never had one complaint. And this is all only PRE-event! The day of was, no joke, more than I could have possibly imagined. Alexa made my vision become a reality, when I wasn't sure it could be possible. To give you a visual, we had our celebration at a forest preserve with food trucks, a mobile bar, an ice cream cart, caricature artists, flower crowns and tattoos, and TWO DOG RESCUES WITH PUPPIES! The amount of compliments received on our celebration was insane!!! If there were any issues the day of, I never heard about them or dealt with anything. Everything went PERFECTLY! I owe it all to Alexa and Monarch Creative Events for making my dreams come true! I can't wait for my pictures to come back so I can re-live the day and share with as many people as possible!!! Thank you Alexa and Monarch Creative Events!!! You truly are angels!!!

April is an exceptionally kind person who goes above and beyond for her brides and truly becomes a sounding board and friend throughout your planning process. She navigated an Indian-Western cultural fusion wedding, family dynamics, and eight days of events across two states, even flying to North Carolina because we saw how much we needed her when we did our MI wedding. Without a doubt she added so much to our event in terms of putting my mind at ease and as someone who doesn't trust others with her details easily, I found April was well worth the investment. We're already planning to reach out to April for a future vow renewal and have recommended her to friends and family!

She effortlessly handled every detail, allowing us to simply show up and enjoy the moment. Despite some last-minute travel hiccups causing stress, Michelle's warm welcome and impeccable ceremony turned our vibe around completely.

I love love stories! The small part I play in my clients love story is what drives me to do what I do. I love to make sure their special day is unique, beautiful and memorable. I take care of all aspects of the wedding day so my clients are free to party and enjoy their day-stress-free! I encourage my couples to think outside of the box and put their own stamp on their wedding using their love story, hobbies, and even furbabies to make their event absolutely perfect for them!

Maya was super wonderful for our wedding, she was the only person we met with for wedding planners that genuinely cared about us and what we wanted for our big day. She was super helpful with pulling everything together and helping us hunt down any missing pieces we wanted. She was super on top of stuff but was still able to have fun with us and bring everything so beautifully together. She also had my back through the whole process because there was other stuff going on with my family and she was there for me and was ready to help me out with whatever I needed to help deal with all of it. She was so amazing and I would recommend her a million times over to anyone.

Maebell Events

Jacksonville, FL
  • Offers 2 services
  • Serves Merna, IL for additional fees

Events are milestones. A distinct time in one's life where people come together, fall in love, celebrate, congratulate, and often mark the closing of one phase of life and the beginning of another. I started Maebell in 2018 as a way to make extra income to pay for grad school at JU while still working full-time as a School Counselor in Duval. Little did I know that I would find myself living the dream as an Event Coordinator and Small Business Owner. With a background in logistics and a creative knack for detail, I have found my true and authentic self when I am with my clients, couples, and their families.

Awarded Best of Zola
Allyson was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, thorough, fun, I-got-this-everyone-go-have-fun-and-don't-think-about-it coordinator! We interviewed a few coordinators local to the venue (Charlotte, NC) and couldn't find anyone as knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with as Allyson. So, we decided it was worth it to pay for her travel expenses and have her execute our big day :). She had the perfect balance of making sure everything was discussed and taken care of while also keeping us calm and avoiding any opportunity to feel overwhelmed. We can't recommend Allyson Reese and Maebell Event Coordinating enough! She went above and beyond, picking up linens, making the flowers look perfect, bringing us our drinks of choice throughout the reception, and hitting the dance floor when everyone needed that extra boost of joy. Allyson - THANK YOU for making the day so seamless and special!!
