Hi, I’m Marissa (she/her)! When my anti-marriage boyfriend proposed in 2020, I knew nothing about weddings—I’d never even been to one. For the next two years, I consumed everything related to weddings as I planned my own. My husband and I prioritized what was important to us and compromised on things that weren’t as important. We balked at most traditions and gravitated towards nontraditional twists. We worked together to create an incredible day that was ours.

When it was over, I was overflowing with knowledge and ideas that I no longer needed…until I decided to start Moxxie Street Events.

Although my prior work experience is unique, it influences everything I do as a wedding planner and coordinator. The many moving parts of a wedding are similar to the short films I produced during my college years. I lean on the resourcefulness I honed providing library services on Rikers Island to help clients navigate modest budgets in NYC.

I learn something from every client I work with and every wedding I work on. I love collaborating with my clients to create weddings that are different but authentically, unapologetically them.
