Emily Goldstein: your personality hire for unforgettable weddings & events across Atlanta and the Southeast since 2016

The story

Why Marea?

Marea translates to tide in Italian. With ties to the lowcountry and the coast — and honestly, who doesn't feel better the moment they're near the water? — it was a way to keep something classic with a name uniquely our own.

We're committed to providing a beautiful and stress-free experience. Classic styles with a unique twist, attention to detail, and a calming presence through every moving part of planning.

There is no formula to event planning and design. We customize our process to you and your event, because we always want it to represent you — not us, not a Pinterest board, not last season's trends.

In high tide, or low tide — we are always by your side.
