    The staff at Behind the Scenes Events will not only become "your big sister" during your event, but also your friends. They are kind, easy to talk to, have the best and most solid communication, and are overall exactly what you need, especially for people who are perhaps overwhelmed or not organized (insert the average person). These rockstars are the whole package. I wish I had known about them when I got married! But I am 100% thankful I have them now on the business side of things.

    They make coordinating events flawless.

    I am a wedding DJ. I have met dozens of coordinators. I worked with Marleigh and Brianne at a wedding recently in Bismarck and they were 10/10! Very professional, friendly, and clearly cared about the wedding and the couple. Marleigh’s communication as the lead planner was top notch. I would be very happy to work with them again anytime! Thank you so much ladies!
