Wedding Day Coordinator, Professional Problem-Solver, and Proud Jetsetter Making “I Do” Moments Magical Everywhere Love Takes You

Welcome to “I Do” Need You LLC where unforgettable weddings come to life through calm coordination, unmatched experience, and heart-filled service.

I’m Marisa Furlong, Owner and Lead Day-of Coordinator, and the organizational expert behind your seamless, stress-minimal, joy-maximized wedding day. With over a decade of experience working as a flight attendant and a lifelong love for meaningful celebrations, I take your event personally as if it were my own family saying “I do.”

Where I Work

I’m based in Southern California, with deep roots in both Los Angeles and the Bay Area, and a second home in southern Kentucky, where I also co-own a short-term rental and wedding/event property with my partner Sean.
Because I fly for free, I happily cover weddings anywhere from vineyards in Temecula to Oak groves in Santa Cruz, luxury resorts in Sedona, rooftops in NYC, and private estates in Louisville and beyond. Whether you’re planning locally or dreaming of a destination wedding, I can make it happen with no added air travel fees.

Why Choose “I Do” Need You?

Weddings are magical but the logistics behind them? Not so much… until you hire someone who lives for it.

At “I Do” Need You, I provide cohesive and comprehensive Day-of Wedding Coordination that actually starts months before your wedding day, including:
• Timeline creation and vendor follow-ups
• Décor setup and breakdown direction
• Ceremony and reception flow management
• Rehearsal coordination (optional add-on)
• Full event execution and guest support
• An absolute do-not-disturb shield between you and any chaos

Whether your wedding is in a downtown loft, rustic barn, coastal cliff, historic vineyard, or family backyard I’ve coordinated them all.

Unmatched Skill Meets Heart-Centered Support

With over 11 years as a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines, I bring a rare blend of:
• Crisis management expertise
• High-touch customer service
• Grace under pressure
• The ability to literally pivot in seconds without breaking a sweat

My time in the sky sharpened the skill I now use every day as a coordinator: the ability to stay grounded even in turbulence so your wedding day stays smooth.

I’ve soothed crying bridesmaids, stitched broken hems, reworked timelines around unexpected storms, and found missing rings five minutes before “go time.” Your peace becomes my priority.

The Process
Here’s what working with me looks like:

1. You Book, and I’m On It

While many “day-of” services wait until 30 days out to get involved, I begin as soon as you book me. You get vendor support, answers to questions, and coordination setup right away.

2. We Meet to Go Over Details (4 to 6 Weeks Before)

We’ll walk through your vision, confirm your vendors, finalize your layout, and I’ll draft your full wedding-day timeline.

3. Vendor Coordination Begins

I reach out to every vendor, introduce myself, and ensure everyone’s on the same page.

4. Your Wedding Day = Pure Celebration

You wake up, get ready, and enjoy. I command the team, manage the timeline, direct the setup, stay in communication with vendors, solve any problems that arise, and work closely with your family and wedding party so you stay in the moment from aisle to first dance.

Packages start at $1,500 for up to 10 hours. You can add rehearsal support, extended coverage, extra coordinators assistance if needed.

Why Couples Trust Me

Because I’m not just a clipboard and timeline. I’m a calm, capable, caring presence who shows up prepared for everything from timelines and tip envelopes to tide charts and tissue packs.

Couples and vendors describe me as:
• Warm but professional
• Unbelievably detailed
• Quick thinking, kind, and unfazed
• Supportive of every love story
• Fully committed to your experience

And one of the biggest compliments I get is:

“I didn’t even know what was happening but I knew Marisa was on it.”

A Little Personal Love Story of My Own

Family drives everything for me.

I’m a mom of two (John and Savannah), a proud dog mom to Kaia, and the grateful girlfriend of my best friend Sean who builds and dreams with me one renovation project at a time.

My whole family is part of my business story. My sister Christina is my go-to Assistant Coordinator, niece Tianah manages our social media, and I’ve helped my son and daughter-in-law book their own dream vendors. I love our “I Do Crew” and I bring that same family-first experience to your wedding.

Ready to Relax and Say “I Do”?

If you want someone who:
•Brings expertise, honesty, and ease
•Understands what you want and handles the rest
•Loves logistics as much as love stories
•Will travel anywhere without charging you a dime extra…

Then I’d love to be part of your day.

I don’t just coordinate weddings. I honor moments, calm nerves, solve issues, and give you memories untangled by stress. So go ahead and simply be present. I’ll handle everything else.

Your vision. My execution. Let’s make magic.
