Who you would be working with

I lead every Virgo wedding personally. None of it comes together without the people beside me.

01

Marissa Holloway

Lead Planner

Marissa Holloway, Lead Planner at Virgo Event Planning

The heart and soul of Virgo Event Planning, passionate about spreading joy and making sure your day is genuinely magical.

Marissa's love for planning and decorating led her into this industry and she has never looked back. Years of retail management taught her how to run product launches and corporate events that often lacked personality and creativity, and that gap is exactly what pushed her toward weddings and social gatherings. She began by organizing events for her closest friends and family, building her portfolio one celebration at a time, and refining the craft of unforgettable experiences along the way.
