Sweet Words:

From the Bride, Kristian Shafik Barnett:

Marian with Minted Artistry is one of a kind in the best way. Marian was not only able to plan the wedding, speak to vendors, and beautifully set everything up for me, but she ALSO designed my wedding, save the dates, my wedding invites, and all day of stationary. Marian is so receptive and would design and redesign anything until it was exactly what I wanted - but Marian is basically a mindreader so she hardly ever had to redesign anything! The night of the rehearsal, it only took <5min of my parents meeting Marian to see how smoothly she operated everything and immediately agreed she was well worth the $$$. She would even reach out to my now husband to get his input so he wasn't washed out or ignored in the planning process, which he LOVED. Marian is a lifesaver - she would answer my silly emails almost immediately, even if I sent them at 10pm.
The day of the wedding I did not have a single worry or stress. Everything I thought of and would ask Marian, her response was either "I already took care of it" or "Don't worry, I will handle it". But don't be fooled - she can definitely get out her stern wedding planner voice for unruly guests if needed. Marian is the wedding definition of calm, cool, and collected and I cannot stress this enough - YOU. NEED. MARIAN.

From Father of the Bride, Ross Vick:

“Marian Timmer, owner of Minted Artistry, is one of the most professional individuals we have ever worked with. She is a credit to the Wedding Planning Profession.
Our experience with Marian included weddings for two different daughters, three years apart, each with unique perspectives, expectations and approaches to the wedding ceremonies, as well as the before and after events.
Marian’s cheerful demeanor makes the event delightful for the family, bride, mother and wedding party.
Marian’s coordination with all of the catering and entertainment vendors and subcontractors was so seamless as to be flawless. Her sunny, can-do spirit and positivity flows over into her interactions with the vendors and contractors.
Her thoughtfulness as to all of the “What Ifs” that are possible in wedding planning provided for the best outcomes in all cases, including a rain out at the Arboretum. Her Rainy Day Plan B looked more like the original Plan A and the ceremony was sweet and memorable. Moreover, she convinced a Heavy Metal Band Concert next to Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park to stop playing long enough for our wedding ceremony to take place!”
We recommend Marian in the highest terms possible. In short, she’s fantastic.

 From Mother of the Bride, Wendy Bragg:

“As Mother-of-the Bride, my goal was to ultimately enjoy the "Day Of" celebration of my daughter's wedding without worry or concern or involvement in the coordination of the vendor activities. Marian was awesome and totally delivered. The day was perfect! The family/vendors were in awe of her professional management skills. Not only was the day fun but also, Marian was respectful of various ancillary decisions and engaged me for my opinion, as warranted. Her cool, calm and collected manner made the orchestration of this event even more amazing. I am still getting text messages from guests on how wonderful, lovely and perfect the celebration. We owe a lot of gratitude to Marian for such a successful and memorable occasion.
Hope our paths cross again! (I have two other daughters....so who knows?)”
Thank you, Marian!
Love you,
The Braggs

From the Bride, Michele Morris:

“I cannot thank Marian and her team enough for every single moment she helped with. She goes above and beyond what is required to make sure that things are taken care of and you (bride) is relaxed and happy--especially on the day of. I would recommend her over and over again! Flawless.”

From the Mother of the Bride, Libby Wild:

“We had our daughters wedding at Marie Gabrielle and we were recommended Minted Artistry as the wedding planners.
At the time I did not think that I needed a wedding planner but boy was I wrong. This was the best decision I could have made and with Minted Artistry. They were very efficient and helpful and most important very organized and calming to me when I needed it lol ! I could not have asked for anyone better and I highly recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for me.”

From the Bride, Brannen Varner:

“Best wedding coordinators ever, anywhere. Marian made our wedding stress-free and so pleasant. She and her team were very relaxed and efficient. We had our wedding at Texas Discovery Gardens, and there was a metal festival going on next door. The venue said they could not do anything about it, but Marian sent one of her teammates there (so as not to leave us!), and they approached the festival crew and figured out when the bands would be off stage so we could perform the ceremony. Our ceremony, thanks to Minted Artistry, went smoothly and to our music! That was the most stressful part of the day, and Marian/Minted Artistry made it so easy and stress-free! We never felt stressed or worried about anything. Prior to the event, Marian came to our home and picked up everything we had gathered for the wedding (guest book, champagne flutes, etc), and returned them to us in perfect condition. The reception was a blast and so fun for me as the bride - I actually got to enjoy guests, dancing, and food - particularly due to Marian's seamless coordinating. Thank you so, so, so (times infinity) much for your help, Marian and Minted Artistry!!!”

From the Mother of the Bride, Mary Humm:

Marian is simply the best! She is a consummate professional, attending to every detail large or small. She was poised, gracious, easy to work with, and always returned emails and phone calls promptly. She understood and respected our budget and had wonderful suggestions and creative solutions throughout the entire wedding process. On the event date, she was in constant touch with us, taking care of everything so that we were able to enjoy our daughter's wedding to the fullest. The wedding was beautiful, and the reception décor exceeded our highest expectations. Marian is very detail-oriented, which I love, knows how to "herd cats" when necessary, and she has a warm and loving heart which makes it a joy to work with her. She really became a true friend throughout this process. Words cannot express our gratitude to her awesome team for bringing the vision to reality!! Don't look any further - Minted Artistry is simply the best!!!

From the Mother of the Bride, Vicki Pinch:

“You are absolutely the best!!! And I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us over the past 6 weeks.  Seriously, it is very apparent that you put your absolute BEST effort into making weddings the most wonderful experiences.  And please thank your sister-in-law for all she did at the venue.  Man, what a team!

Sydney text me yesterday and said it was truly the BEST DAY of her life.....as it should be, mission accomplished.  And it would not have come off so smoothly if it had not been for you.  I know there were some fires and kinks along the way but somehow you did it!  So I am quite certain God has given you the gift of Hospitality, Organization, and Love of people.

One of Sydney's bridesmaids asked her what she liked most.  She said loved the band, but the number one thing was Marian Timmer.  She would do it again with you!... And I feel the same way.”
