  • “WE STILL HAVE GUESTS TELLING US THAT IT WAS THE BEST WDDING THEY'VE EVER ATTENDED."

    MMJ Events are hands down the BEST IN THE BUSINESS! If you are looking for a top-class wedding planner who will make your special day unforgettable, don’t look anywhere else, MMJ Events are it! My wife and I sifted through and interviewed a variety of wedding planners, but immediately locked in on MMJ. You could tell from day one, they were special. They were proactive in really getting to know us and understanding what would make the difference for us. They took extensive notes and planned every detail extraordinarily. The fact is we cannot say enough praise for MMJ Events! You will be astounded! We still have guests telling us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. We couldn’t be happier.
