Amazing Services! Very attentive and stays ahead of the game. Such a sweet heart, and we have used her services on many many many occasions. Highly recommended.”-La’Shandra P., Graduation celebration client, June 11, 2026

“My graduation dinner (May, 2022), through MPR Events LLC, was gorgeously set up and delicious. There were choices for everyone and a heartfelt video of congratulations. The only thing I had to worry about was what to wear and arriving on time!”Zoë R., graduation celebration client

Marie’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail is exceptional! I would highly recommend her to friends and family.-Tawana J., Wedding client, April 2021 (Review provided on May 11, 2026)

MPR Events Tallahassee did an excellent job with my baby shower. All of the decorations, food, and schedule were top notch. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for an event that I’m having. Thanks again guys, you did a WONDERFUL JOB!!!!” - Chadwick P., Baby Shower client, July 31, 2026

The Retirement Luncheon on May 24, 2023 was a beautiful success, thanks to the set-up and decorations provided by MPR Events LLC!!!” - Marcia W., Retirement Luncheon, June 1, 2023

I could not recommend MPR Events more. For my college graduation, Marie curated such an amazing celebration. Madison Social was the perfect venue to accommodate the number of guests while still remaining intimate. Marie struck a great balance of using her own expertise while always being considerate of my opinion during the planning process. We had a private room that was decorated beautifully and festively. The food was delicious with amazing service. They also had a tech set up available to play music and even a special video as well. It was a perfect evening and a memory I’ll treasure forever, thanks to MPR Events! Samantha R., Graduation Celebration Client

My Mom (Marie) outdid herself with my second daughter’s 4th birthday party. She did everything from booking the perfect venue, coordinating the food, choosing the decor, managing guest invitations, to securing party entertainment, and keeping track of the timeline so that arrival and dismissal was as scheduled! By the time we drove in from Atlanta, we didn’t have to worry about anything but creating great memories”. -Laura M. Birthday Party client (Also Marie’s daughter), July 22, 2025

My graduation social was perfect! The snacks were delicious and the social flowed perfectly with a mix of games, socializing, and heartfelt speaking moments! I didn’t have to worry about any aspect other than who to invite and what to wear, MPR Events took care of everything else! Zoë R., Graduation Celebration client, May 2026
