For All Occasions

We hired Myrna to be our two month out Wedding Coordinator/Planner but she kindly began helping us earlier than our contract had stated, first by helping us find our wedding invitations. She saved us a ton of money- not only with our invitations, but by referring us to our Florist and DJ! Each of the vendors she recommended did an outstanding job for hundreds of dollars less than other vendors I had researched. She truly has her clients best interests at heart and doesn't leave one detail overlooked. She guided us through all the wedding planning craziness and made things so smooth and relaxed. From coordinating with the vendors, creating a timeline and just being there to tie up any loose ends, she made our event a night we will truly remember. My husband and I had an amazing time on our wedding day! It was stress free and so much fun! We can't thank Myrna enough!

For All Occasions… and then some! Little did I know when I hired Myrna Hyman from For All Occasions what she and I would be dealing with when it came to planning my wedding. There is no way we could have predicted an earthquake, Hurricane Irene and my big day all in the same week. But low and behold, all three events occurred, each one a huge event in its own right.

With Myrna’s help, advice and support, I had the perfect wedding planned. Over the eight month preparation period, Myrna had provided me with excellent recommendations for vendors (all of which delivered above and beyond my expectations), plus saved me quite a bit of money. Her knowledge of the industry and contacts made everything so much easier. As you know, planning a wedding is not easy. Vendors are usually about “what is in it for me”. But Myrna was always all about “what’s in it for Liz and Eric”. We were her top concern and that was the most comforting thing.

Then came the week of our wedding, and everything we had planned for started to quickly unravel. Guests started to call and cancel because of fear of traveling, our officiate wanted to perform the ceremony early, the band wanted to be gone by 10PM (they were supposed to play until 11:30PM), and the venue wanted to move the entire timeline up so they could cook the food early in case the power went out, just to name a few things. But Myrna never lost her cool or professionalism and made everything as memorable as can be. From rearranging the place cards and shifting around our reception layout to coordinating the food orders and making sure Eric and I kept on smiling through it all, Myrna was the best gift we could have asked for. She even help plan the wedding shot of the night, Eric and me in the rain under a clear umbrella alone in the courtyard.

My wedding was the best night of my life, with memories that will last forever and a few stories a person couldn’t make up no matter how hard they tried. And none of it would have been possible without Myrna. My wedding wasn’t just a job to her and I wasn’t just a client. I consider Myrna, as does my husband and our families, part of our family. There is no way we could have coordinated such an amazing event without her know-how and support.

I recently got married and used Myrna and the "For all Occassions" team. We hired Myrna as a wedding coordinator. She helped us order our wedding invitations, cocktail napkins, and place cards. She had many books and different resources to help us in making our decision. Additionally, she was able to provide us with a discount from the book price. Myrna and her team also helped us the month leading up to the wedding. She helped us create a timeline, discuss details for the day and connected with our previously chosen vendors. On the day of, she arrived around noon for a 5:30 ceremony and helped set up the room and made sure all the details ran smoothly during the wedding ceremony and reception. Myrna and her team were extremely professional, organized, and had a lot of experience making sure that everything was done smoothly! She made the wedding much more enjoyable for my family and I- since we did not have to worry about all the details. Myrna was great and I would highly recommend her and her team!

Myrna is the wedding planner to hire. Do not look any where else. It would be a waste of time. We hired Myrna as a day of, but she was much more than that. She answered questions,provided vendors she has worked with before and put your mind at ease. My daughters wedding came off without a hitch because of Myrna. She is the best...

Myrna was amazing!

We had our reception at Eastern Market in DC. All of our vendors were brought in from outside due to the fact that they don't have preferred vendors. It was great because we were able to pick our own vendors however we realized about 2 months before the wedding that it was also very hard to coordinate. We received Myrna's name through a referral. She was on top of contacting all of the vendors and coordinating everyone. She offered great advice as well and suggested things that we had not thought of. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. We were able to enjoy and be a part of the celebration, and did not have to worry about a thing. My husband and I both agree that it was the best day of our lives. We highly recommend For All Occasions.

Myrna was unbelievable!!!!!!!! I asked her to be my "month of" coordinator and she made my wedding perfect. I kept her in the loop earlier than the month before (per her request at no additional cost) so the month/week/day before and day of turned out absolutely perfect. I had many different vendors (105), ideas, DIY 'items', etc. for her to juggle and she handled them better than I could have (thank goodness)! And anything that came up the day of was handled with absolutely no stress to me. I would absolutely recommend Myrna and her assistants to help in any capacity that a bride and groom can fit into their budget. For All Occasions is simply a must have if you are getting married in the DC area.

I approached Myrna when I was still deciding whether I would have my wedding in D.C. or where I live in FL. (I spent 4 months trying to make this decision on my own) Myrna helped plan my Matron of Honor's wedding a few years back so I already knew she was a star and would take great care of me and my now husband. She helped me select my wedding venue, Carnegie Institute (which I immediately fell in love with) in a matter of days and only after only speaking with me a few times so I was happy to be in good hands and clearly needed the help! Myrna took us through the whirlwind wedding planning process, made it fun, and reminded us to relax and let her take care of certain details. I honestly don't know how people have weddings without a planner. I had so many questions that only she could answer! Myrna helped us select our vendors, write our invitations, programs, coordinate babysitters for the kids at the wedding etc. She also devoted a lot of time to us whenever we were in town which wasn't all that often so we had marathon meetings with vendors etc and Myrna came to all. We felt so comfortable with her and she was helpful in so many ways you don't even realize you will need. Myrna has become a family friend and we think she is the best!!

Myrna is wonderful! I ordered my wedding invitations from her and she helped me choose very beautiful ones within my budget. She was also great at giving wedding advice. She helped me figure out what the most important aspects of my wedding should be. Although, I didn't hire a wedding coordinator (as my venue provided an event coordinator), I would highly recommend Myrna to anyone. Myrna is very professional and has a lot experience in dealing with various vendors in the metro DC area.

Myrna is a must have at your next event!

A couple of months before my wedding, things started to get hectic. My family started pressuring me about a wedding planner because they knew I needed it. Not wanted to spend more money that we hadn't accounted for, I was VERY reluctant, but i had to make my parents happy....right?!! So I looked on Wedding Wire, and chose a few people. I emailed three people and Myrna was the first to get back to me. In her initial email I already felt at ease. I was bummed when she told me she had a personal committment, but she felt like she could still handle it. Still reluctant, my mom and I met her, and immediately I was sold.

Myrna knows what she is doing and she is well connected. She knew all of my vendors, and was on top of everything! We had tons of communication through email and she met me personally as needed. At the end of the day....I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT A THING, and I owe that to Myrna and her team.

Myrna is TOTALLY affordable! AND....she did my menu cards, place cards, and programs which turned out amazing! Don't let other companies take advantage of the fact that you are getting married...shop around, and check out Myrna...she won't let you down!

A piece of advice to brides...ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR DAY!!! I cannot stress enough how soaking up every minute is so important. The day really does fly by, and at the end of it all, you think "man Ill never have another wedding or day like this" Take in all the memories of the day...and ENJOY IT :-) Set yourself up so that all you have to do it sit back and soak it all up, and do your family a favor and let them enjoy it too because its a big day for them too...(ie...you need someone like Myrna)

We were married on March 19, 2011, after a 5 month engagement. Needless to say, we had lots to do without much time to do it in! We could not have done it all without Myrna's help and input. Her team was phenomenal. Myrna made herself available for meetings to go over all the details and was very responsive to e-mails and phone calls. She made us feel comfortable in knowing that we could fully enjoy ourselves on our wedding day without worrying about any of the details. We knew she had them covered. We would recommend For All Occasions to anyone planning a wedding!

True story: we met with Myrna, as recommended by two of my friends who raved about her services, 9.5 weeks before we wanted to get married, without having begun any planning. We asked her if it would be possible to pull a wedding off in that time, and because she was so confident, we did it! We think it was a raging success - Myrna's tips, tricks, recommendations, connections, guidance, and day-of coordination led to us having a care-free, wonderful celebration. One of our guests commented that it was the classiest wedding he had ever attended. Thank you Myrna, for all you did to help us create wonderful memories for us, our families and our guests!

I always believed I could plan my own wedding, but quickly learned how overwhelming it can be. My husband told me to hire a wedding planner and I must say that I could not have possibly planned my wedding without Myrna! She was alway quick to respond to my calls and emails and made me feel like I was her only bride. She was so organized and really kept me on track. She has a great network of wedding vendors and knew exactly who would be the best fit for us. She is really creative and had great ideas on decorating and how to make our wedding unique. She made wedding planning stress free and my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our special day! Myrna works really hard and is worth every dime!

Myrna from FAO was extremely helpful and guided us along the wedding planning process. I knew that my work was going to be too busy during the time I was to plan my wedding, so I looked to Myrna for help. Told her the budget we were thinking and she worked with us in suggesting vendors she's worked with and knows very well. The vendors she suggested were wonderful and worked within our budget. I was engaged in late Nov. and managed to lock down a wedding site and vendors to use by February; way ahead of schedule. Everything fell into place quickly, and it was very organized. I was able to stay focused at work knowing Myrna was there keeping me informed, helping with anything I needed, and reminding me that we were on track or ahead of schedule and not to worry. The support and guidance Myrna shared was terrific. She was very responsive and communicated very well. She kept on top of things throughout the weeks and months we worked together. When we asked about how other people did things, she would give us ideas, but always came back to making sure it was what we wanted. One thing I did like was that when we offered an idea there were times that she told us that we really shouldn't do that or that it wouldn't be good and would give reasons why. That type of insight and help was just what we needed. After all, she's the wedding pro! She did exactly what we needed her to do and she worked with our creative elements that we wanted included. I am so happy to have found Myrna to help with our wedding. For two people who didn't have time to plan a wedding or know where to begin, For All Occasions was the answer. We had a superb wedding and our guests all raved about how they had a great time. Thanks to Myrna, I didn't worry about anything on the wedding day because I knew she was there and had everything under control. She handled everything, which left the time for me, my husband, and our families to just be there and enjoy the party.
I highly recommend Myrna and For All Occasions as a wedding planner (and invitations too)! She's the best!

The day before the wedding, I told my mom that I knew I didn't have to worry about the wedding because Myrna would take care of any problems that occurred. Truth be told, I don't even know of any problems that occurred on the wedding day because Myrna took care of them! Myrna and her assistants took perfect care of us on the wedding day - making sure we got food from the cocktail party, serving us dinner first (going to the buffet and getting our food themselves), telling us where we needed to be so we didn't even need to think about the schedule - we only had to enjoy! We loved Myrna so much that we were so glad our photographers got a photo of her and my mom can't wait to go out to lunch with her when she visits me!

We looked up a few other wedding planners and found that Myrna's prices were better. In addition, we really liked Myrna's straight-forward personality. Myrna is exactly what we were looking for in a wedding planner. She clearly expresses her opinions and expertise, but will always defer to what her couple wants. For example, she told us that few people were doing receiving lines and she didn't recommend them because, particularly when the ceremony and reception are in the same location, they take up a lot of time. However, if we had wanted to go with a receiving line, she would have made sure it went perfectly!

Even though we only contracted with Myrna for the day of wedding coordination, she was extremely helpful in recommending vendors - she recommended my hair stylist and our transportation vendor - and we got a discount with our amazing officiant (Julie Price of Creative Ceremony) because she likes working with Myrna so much! She also answered all of our etiquette questions and was the voice of reason we needed!

I would highly recommend Myrna and her assistants to anyone!

Hiring Myrna at For All Occasions for the full planning package was the best decision we made for our wedding. Planning a wedding in Arlington from Iowa was going to be next to impossible, but she made it easy and was able to meet over Skype. She helped us stay within our budget by telling us of vendors that would fit within it. She has such a great relationship with so many vendors, that we had plenty of choices to make our wedding perfect. She and her assistants made our wedding day run smoothly so we could enjoy it. We received so many complements on how smooth everything ran and people kept commenting on how calm and relaxed I was the entire day.

She also did our invitations and save the dates and they turned out beautifully.

Myrna is not only a fantastic event planner, but also a wonderful person. For any other events that we need planning, we will always go back to her.

Myrna Grossman was an excellent guidance throughout my daughter's and son-in-laws wedding. She gave excellent advice and responded quickly to my phone calls whenever needed. The invitations were ordered promptly and beautifully. Myrna had eased my worries when I had questions and her assistants were wonderful at the day of the wedding. The reception was setup beautifully and the coordinating of the guests from hotel to church and back to reception was done without a hitch. Our guests all had a wonderful time and we enjoyed ourselves also without worrying about the details.

Myrna did a wonderful job! She was helpful, professional and responsive through the entire planning process. I've already recommended to her two friends, one of whom's wedding already occurred and she had a similarly positive experience.

When my husband (fiancé at the time) and I were first looking for a wedding planner, we had no idea where to begin to find the right one. But, after a ton of research, we had selected three wedding planners to meet with. Myrna was the last planner we met with and we both walked away with an instant feeling of relief that we have found exactly what we wanted. Throughout the entire wedding planning stages, she always reminded me that it is our day and not to worry about everyone else. She also had tons of advice of great vendors that you knew she had great professional relationships with. Every vendor that she recommended that we picked provided superior quality of service and honestly made the planning fun for both of us. I would say looking back at our wedding day, I feel so grateful she was there. I woke up the morning of the big day and knew that I did not have to worry about a thing. And I didn’t. Myrna took care of everything, allowing me to truly relax and enjoy the day, instead of having to worry about all of the logistics. I would recommend Myrna to anyone that is truly looking for an all around amazing wedding planner.

Myrna was wonderful and made my day stress free! This woman is wonderful and truly knows her stuff. She met with us several times prior to the wedding and also helped us with the invitations. We used her for "day of" coordination but when I had trouble finding a limo, she stepped right in and helped negotiate a fantastic rate with a limo company. She promptly answered every question I had, and with her extensive experience, made me feel extremely comfortable prior to the wedding and the wedding day itself. I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing that day except to show up. I would recommend her to everyone looking for help to make sure your day goes off without a hitch.

Myrna is worth her weight in gold, or whatever the most expensive precious metal is that day. We contacted her for assistance as a day-of-coordinator, but she provided much more than that. Through her professional contacts and business, we were able to obtain wedding invitations, chairs, and gifts for ushers/best man/matron of honor/reader at a substantial discount. But her services as a coordinator were the best value of all. Every meeting that we had with her was so useful and helped us feel comfortable that we were moving forward and meeting deadlines. Right before the wedding, she coordinated with the hotel, officiant, designer/florist, and dj to ensure everyone was on the same page. Myrna also attended the rehearsal and patiently reviewed the gameplan for the day of the wedding. The staff she brought with her was professional and clearly knew the timeline of the day. With nearly 250 guests, we were simply amazed how smoothly the entire day went. We can't thank Myrna enough for all of her efforts in making our wedding day such a great one.

I used Myrna as a "day of coordinator" and was extremely pleased with her services. I met with her two weeks before the wedding and we walked through the events of the day. I thought I was pretty well prepared for the day but was SO pleased with the questions she asked me and quickly realized the benefit of having a professional manage our big day. From organizing the vendors schedule (cake delivery, florist, hair and make up arrival, photographer arrival, etc...), to confirming the time schedule of the reception events she made sure that everything ran smoothly. Myrna did all the worrying for me - all I had to do was show up and enjoy the day with my new husband and family and friends.
The things that I appreciated most about Myrna are:
1. Professionalism - she takes her job seriously and has a lot of experience she is bringing to the table
2. Passion - she loves brides and weddings and it shows. She made me feel like my wedding was the most important wedding ever. She was as excited about making it a memorable day as I was.
3. Personality - while Myrna is as sweet as can be she is also tough - she knows how to negotiate with vendors and manage them on YOUR behalf. She has worked with many different providers in the DC area and has established relationships.
4. Attention to detail - One of the things I liked best working with Myrna is the fact that she paid attention to who I am and what is important to me. She made sure that my wedding reflected me and my husband. She is not a "cookie cutter" coordinator.
If you are wanting to have a beautiful day and not worry about a thing then Myrna is your coordinator!

Myrna was wonderful! We had a very limited budget, and Myrna worked with us to help us find the best vendors in the area within our price range. She is incredibly resourceful and very knowledgeable. She helped save us money in numerous different areas. She was by far the best wedding investment we could have made.

We highly recommend For All Occasions to anyone who is considering a wedding coordinator. Thank you Myrna for everything you have done to make my wedding beautiful!!

For All Occasions - Myrna Grossman...OUTSTANDING. I am the Mother-of-the-Bride and I felt like a guest. Myrna left no stones unturned to ensure the perfection of our special day. I was simply amazed at all the details one could overlook, including her sewing kit, which was needed. Even this morning - a few days after the wedding, she is still following up on after-the fact matters so neither me nor my daughter need worry. She is simply amazing. I would - actually, I do - recommend Myrna to all brides should you need a carefree wedding!

Myrna was absolutely great! She is very experienced and took care of everything. My husband and I got the full package she offers (she has many packages to choose from) where she does everything you ask. We'd meet with her regularly and she was always on top of everything and would remind us of details we didn't even think off thus saving us a lot of panic and trouble later. I really liked her because she listened to us. There are horror stories of wedding planners who are constantly badgering you into what they think you should do. Myrna was always professional and yet approachable and friendly. She'd only offer her opinion if you asked for it or unless she thought it was a major mistake. But she let you have your opinion and carried that out. Also she was very strict to the budget we gave. She didn't try to inflate our budget at all but was very concerned about keeping within our spending limit. Myrna is also very responsive. I'd always get an email within a day and she'd always let me know ahead of time if she was out of town for a few days and would still try hard to check her email. She is always very flexible as far as times to meet and changes in plans. We changed the wedding date and moved it up 3 weeks and she was fine. She didn't panic or anything. She just immediately began calling and informing the vendors. On that note, she had a huge amount of vendors that she knew were reputable and of various price points. She also got discounts on many items like invitations, wedding favors etc. She is a little on the expensive side I think, but I also think it is pretty much worth it especially if you have a complicated wedding. Overall she is very calming and you feel safe being with her. I have confidence that she'll be great for you too!

Myrna was wonderful to work with! I ordered my invitations through her and they turned out great. She also provided with me the month before wedding planning and day-of service. I would highly recommend Myrna to other brides, and I know I'll stay in touch with her in the years to come!

Myrna rocks! Her pre- and day-of services were invaluable in helping me plan my wedding. I went into the planning process thinking I could "do it all" (and save money)...I am so lucky my wise fiance gently suggested we needed help...I could not have done it without her! She provided support, organization and advise before the Big Day, and a HUGE comfort and sense of peace the day of our wedding. I did not have to worry, coordinate, organize or fret about any vendors or site preparation...she did it all! I highly recommend her! She is organized, creative, calm, and worth every penny!

Myrna was amazing to work with. We used her for our wedding invitations, the groomsmen's gifts, menu card, table numbers, escort cards, programs and personalized cocktail napkins. She has an amazing selection of everything you can think of and is priced very well. She was very helpful in helping us find exactly what matched with my weddding and the finished products were always amazing everything coordinated so well and as an event planner all the little details made my wedding that much better!!

Great service and attention to detail!

Myrna is an amazing planner, she is very responsive and professional. We were so blessed to have her apart of our wedding and I don't know what we would have done without Myrna. We didn't have to worry about a thing and the wedding process went so smoothly with For All Occasion. I highly recommend her services and would love to be a reference.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Porter

I don't even know where to begin.... When my husband and I got engaged he was stationed in California and I was out in Virginia, at the time I was a manager in retail so I worked crazy hours and I just knew that trying to plan a wedding without the help of someone
who actually knew what they were doing was madness so I decided to call Myrna at For all occasions. I had picked up a pamphlet from a bridal boutique and I was so excited to find that she was only a ten minute drive from my house!!! After our initial meeting I really didn't need or even think to meet with another planner. We discussed in detail my budget and my vision and everything about Myrna really impressed me
from her caring nature and professionalism and ger desire to always look out for my best interests. She really made the planning process run smoothly and as I had expected. She knows so many wonderful vendors who were all willing to work with my budget and taste. I think that what I loved most about Myrna was her ability to turn the wedding planning business into a very personal event, I was so worried about finding someone that actually cared about my wedding and me as a person rather then strictly business and I found that with her. I would reccommend Myrna to anyone I know that is trying to plan a wedding because she does an outstanding job! I was so thrilled that everything worked out so perfectly and even our friends and famy noticed
that everything was so wonderfully put together. I honestly could not have done this without her and I am so thankful that she was with me through it all! Thanks so much Myrna your the best!!

Myrna and I have known each other and have been planning weddings together for almost five years! When my husband and I got engaged, she was the only one who I trusted with my wedding invitations! The most difficult part was getting my husband to agree to having hot pink as an accent color! Once that bridge was crossed, I looked through a few books and chose an invitation that represented the personalities of my husband and I. Myrna had to go out of town, but even while she was away she worked on getting the invites ordered. They came in fast and were sent out within a few weeks. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out!!!

Myrna was amazing! We used Myrna for full wedding planning and I am so glad we did. She saved me many disagreements that I might have had with my mother and my mother-in-law. Every vendor we used was the first one she suggested because she knew exactly what we were looking for. And our wedding was amazing! I don't know what we would have done without Myrna. Thanks again Myrna!

Hiring Myrna was the best decision that we made for our wedding. She will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your wedding comes off without a hitch. She has extensive knowledge and connections in the industry, which is really helpful, but is also not pushy and lets you choose which vendors you feel will be the best. We also used Myrna for our wedding invitations, and she was so patient with us. We came back twice before making a decision on which ones we wanted, and she was so patient with us. She will work for you and deal with any issues that come up with your vendors or with your venue. She was our saving grace throughout the wedding planning process.

Myrna is FABULOUS! You will be happy you hired her. Myrna and her team made our day memorable and stress free. Every little need we had they were there. Not to mention they are fun to work with. Myrna is very organized and loves what her does. She will keep things in line. We also used Myrna to order our wedding invitations, which turned out great! We had several comments on how smoothly our wedding went. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. Thanks again for all the help!

Absolutely worth the money. You'll be happy you hired her.

I choose For All Occasions after I found them online, noticed that they were based 5 minutes from my home, and after meeting with Myrna.

I was an organized bride who felt that my dress, the pictures, and the taste of the cake were the 3 most important things and I was pretty much flexible about everything else (except for the groom, of course)... but Myrna was so patient with me after the wedding date moved (twice) and my constant changes with invitations, cake, reception decor, other vendors, flowers, bridal party, etc. She was also able to help me save money with her vendor contacts, which also made me feel secure with the vendor decisions that we made.

I realized that she was worth EVERY PENNY on the day of the wedding! It wasn't flawless but she worked a couple of miracles and I felt at peace knowing that she was taking care of everything.

I don't think we could have pulled the wedding together without the help of Myrna from For All Occasions. She helped me figure out all the details ahead of time and kept things in order at the wedding. I was able to enjoy my wedding knowing that Myrna had everything under control. Highly recommend!

I don't know what I would have done without the help of Myrna from For All occasions. She is unbelievably organized and kept me calm through all of the planning. I didn't know where to even start with the planning, but she walked me through it every step of the way. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so happy to have time to spend with my friends and family while Myrna took care of the last minute details. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had the most amazing time on our wedding day and we attribute that to Myrna (For All Occasions). We hired Myrna as our day-of / month-of wedding coordinator and got so much more than that for our money. Myrna was absolutely wonderful to work with and we knew instantly that she was going to be a big help to us as we had a ton of out of town family/guests and lots of logistical details to deal with. Myrna was always available to meet with us, answer questions, provide recommendations on vendors, wedding etiquette, etc. She is extremely professional, responsive and organized!!

Myrna was my rock through the wedding planning and helped to make sure I was on top of all my wedding to-do's. She has so much experience and was able to give me creative tips along the way to stay within budget and make my dream fall wedding a reality. She also spent a lot of time getting to know us and understanding what our vision was for the big day.

I slept like a baby the night before my wedding knowing that I would have Myrna there to make sure everything was running smoothly. Myrna arrived first thing at my house and was there with me while I got ready which made me feel so at ease - she really took care of me that day. I was stress free and excited and our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect. We were able to fully enjoy every minute of our ceremony and reception because Myrna was running the show:-) She is truly amazing and we are so glad we found her.

We highly recommend For All Occasions to anyone who is considering a wedding coordinator. Myrna made it possible for us to have the time of our lives and that's what your wedding should be all about :-) Thank You Myrna!!

Myrna at For All Occasions was more than awesome when it came to our stationary needs for our wedding. We met with her several times to go through dozens of invitation books and asked for several proofs to make sure the wording was the way we wanted - she was always helpful, accomodating, and honest with her opinion and about the price! She can fit any budget and make it beautiful and offers a discount on almost everything!

We also ordered our programs and thank you cards (seperate companies) which turned out great and were delivered in no time directly to us!

Her office is decked out with examples of the works she's done and other services she provides such as wedding planning and favors, etc. She truly knows what she's doing! I was referred by a friend and have referred two friends since because she's just that great. I know I'll continue going to her for the big events in our future that will require announcments, invitations, and other specialty stationary!

If you are looking for an extremely friendly, patient, personable wedding planner...Myrna Grossman is it! If you are looking for a no-nonsense, professional, extremely organized planner...Myrna Grossman is it, too!!! For All Occasions helped my (now) husband and I plan are dream wedding, truly! We came to Myrna with an EXTREMELY limited budget for this region. Where other planners politely laughed and refused our business, Myrna said, "No problem!" She worked diligently with us for 9 months. She remained very conscious of our budget, pinpointing areas where we wanted to splurge and, conversely, helping us cut back in other areas. But, we do not feel like we had a budget wedding, at all! With Myrna's invaluable referrals and wedding vendor discounts, we had everything we could have dreamed of and more! And the wedding day, itself, was flawless. As the bride, I truly had NOTHING to worry about. Myrna and her assistant were unbelievable. They took care of EVERYTHING! I was able to stay calm and focus on just my family, friends, and groom....I really got to enjoy the day and just celebrate....I absolutely did NOT have to worry about picky, behind-the-scenes details. I knew Myrna would handle anything that came up. She is one of the best people you will ever meet. My husband and I know we will keep in touch with Myrna for years to come!

I don't know what I would do without Myrna!! The smartest thing I ever did was hire her to help me plan my wedding. She is patient and kind and has kept me grounded throughout the planning process. And yet we always manage to have fun when we go out on our wedding errands. She definitely saved me money in the end by negotiating with various vendors. She has amazing contacts with incredible vendors throught the wedding industry. Myrna was available 24/7 by phone and email. She was always responsive to my needs responding to my calls and emails promptly. Any concerns I had with vendors she took care of immediately until I was satisfied. She left no stone unturned and always with patience, a sense of humor, and the confidence that she knew exactly what needed to get done. I never could have planned my wedding without her. What would I have done without my Myrna? Thank you Myrna for everything you have done to make my wedding beautiful!!

Myrna is excellent in her work, and very professional. She was a valuable asset to the planning of my wedding, and I am glad we chose her to be a part of it. She has wonderful, and numerous recommendations for any vendor you may need for your wedding.

Myrna did an absolutely wonderful job coordinating my special day. My husband and I actually hired her about 2 ½ months before our wedding. She helped us sort out all of the vendor details, which was quite a task. My church accidentally double booked the ceremony—it all worked out in the end, but definitely caused a bit of stress—so all of my vendor contract times and locations were wrong. Myrna took extra care to make sure everyone was up to date and that all of my contracts were corrected. When one vendor (the hotel where guests were staying) tried to quote me a different price than they originally offered to Myrna, she immediately contacted the person involved and remedied the situation.
Myrna helped my husband and I work through minutiae that hadn't even crossed our minds. She created timelines and a strong rapport with all my vendors. I had every confidence leading up to the "big-day" that Myrna would help make it perfect, which she definitely accomplished. I felt comfortable and secure working with Myrna because I knew I could turn to her for advice and assistance—at any point along the way. She made such a great impression on all of the attendants and guests. It was a pleasure to work with her and I definitely plan to work with her again for all my announcements and any other event-planning help that I may need. I consider Myra not only a coordinator, but a friend. I highly recommend her services.

Great Great Great vendor!!! Would and have highly recommended to many bride to be's. Excellent!!!!!!

When a wedding runs smoothly and on-time, no one notices why. It's my experience that most of the time it's because a professional wedding planner is in the wings taking care of all of the little unforseen "hicups" that tend to happen on the wedding day. Your guests notice when things don't go as planned, and again, that's usually when there is no professional planner taking care of things, or "Aunt Sally" (who means well) either can't or just isn't keeping up with the day's events.
Myrna Grossman of For All Occasions, Inc. was the wedding planner at a recent wedding I worked at, and all I can say is.... YES! What a difference she makes. I've worked with Myrna at other events so I know that when she's taking care of the bride, everything will run smoothly."

Myrna is highly organized and a hard worker. She puts 110% into planning the best wedding for her clients. She is a trusted professional and a personal friend. I send my brides to Myrna because she truly is the best event planner in the area!

Myrna is a fantastic event planner. I have enjoyed the clients she has sent my way. These clients speak very highly of her. She is very professional and easy to work with.

We have worked with Myrna Grossman with For All Occasions many, many times over the past years. She is a pleasure to work with - she is knowledgable, organized and creative.

Myrna is wonderful! With all the options out there for wedding planners it's hard for a couple to know they're selecting a truly great planner. Well Myrna is just that and we love working with her at Bristow Manor! Everyone will know she's the planner because she is involved in every aspect at the rehearsal and the wedding. She does her job diligently to ensure the couple has the day of their dreams and their parents, family and friends enjoy the day as well without a single worry. Myrna always seems to go above and beyond! At the end of the day the couple, family and guests cannot seem to thank her enough!

I have worked with Myrna on many weddings. She is a well organized professional who will make your wedding a stress free and joyful day to remember. She recently helped with my son's wedding. Myrna not only helped me pick the most beautiful invitations from her vast selection she also was great with all my etiquette questions.

The many details of today's weddings can be overwhelming. Why not let Myrna take care of all the details so that you can enjoy the whole wedding experience from the first planning stages to the last dance at your wedding. You will be happy you did!

Bobby G's Disc Jockeys has worked with Myrna from All Occassions at several weddings. It is always a pleasure working with Myrna and she is a true professional in every way and she really stays on top of things making sure everyone knows when it's time to do something. I never see her stop moving and she always does her job with a smile. Bobby G's has worked with many wedding planners over the past 15 years and believe me most of the experiences were not good. Myrna is the exception....she is exceptional! She'll help to make your day a special one!

I have to agree with the many brides we have worked with who used Myrna for their wedding planning... she is very, very good! You can rest assured that Myrna will be on top of the details of your wedding and even deal effectively with the unexpected.
