"Perhaps the most fundamental element of the wedding day celebration is the bride’s wedding day look. That’s why Maradee was an absolute must-have; from bridal gown shopping to her saving my wedding day, working with Maradee was simply a dream. Her one-of-a-kind expertise coupled with her delightful personality together seamlessly realized a magical experience I am forever grateful for.

Indeed, hiring Maradee was certainly the wisest decision I made throughout the planning process; the results speak for themselves. Like many brides-to-be, I had all these ideas and looks percolating. With Maradee’s shopping and styling assistance, we were able to curate my dream wedding day look. When it came to my wedding in Napa, Maradee and her team were absolutely flawless in their execution—handling everything with ease in such a graceful manner. Having my bridal ensemble properly transported to the destination wedding location helped alleviate stress. On the day of, Maradee expertly steamed my gown, overskirt, and veil—ensuring the presentation of my bridal look was picture perfect. Maradee and her team were incredibly helpful insofar that they not only steamed Sam’s tuxedo but also made certain family members’ formal outfits were pristine for portrait shots. They were also readily available to style and assist during each bride and groom photo session; really, their presence was essential throughout the entire wedding day. Maradee even made a few last-minute sewing adjustments to my gown. In doing so, my gown fit me perfectly on my wedding day—most importantly, the moment right before I walked down the aisle.

Looking back, I don’t know what I would’ve done without Maradee there on my wedding day. For brides-to-be wondering what they can do to ensure a stress-free, ideal bridal gown experience on their special day—hiring Maradee is the answer. Maradee is magic. She truly is Maradee Poppins!"

"If you're sitting here wondering if you need Maradee for your wedding day the answer is 100%, undeniably- YES! Maradee had come highly recommended by my wedding planner. I first hired her for my dress fittings only, but after we saw how amazing she was, we hired her for the wedding day as well.

Hiring Maradee was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Maradee literally saved my day and night a few different times. It wasn't until I was wearing my wedding dress for a couple of hours for photos that I realized the inner corset was poking me so hard, it was cutting into my skin and so painful. Maradee literally sewed in a pad on the spot to keep it from hurting me further. A groomsman's button popped off of his tuxedo seconds before he had to walk down the aisle. Maradee and her team literally sewed a button on while he was walking to the stairs to get to the aisle. I had sleeves that Maradee sewed onto my dress to make sure they wouldn't pop off and cut them off before the reception.

My family, bridesmaids, groomsmen, wedding planner, makeup artist, hair stylist, and just about everyone else was completely in awe of Maradee and her team. Maradee and her team are absolute wonders and their talent, hard work, attention to detail, and dedication to making your day absolutely amazing from start to finish is something I haven't seen in a stylist before. I would hire her for every big event I have! 100/10 stars!!!" 

"Maradee does not miss a single step! From the first look book to the big weekend, she went above and beyond to ensure the looks were perfect, (often, even doing things that are not even a part of her job). Maradee is invaluable, and quickly became much more than a bridal stylist – she is now a dear friend, a partner, and one of the major reasons I was able to enjoy the wedding while looking and feeling my best.

She is beyond organized, thorough, creative, and so much more! Not to mention, her fashion sense is beyond! She held my hand through it all and trust me there were many obstacles to overcome. There is no wedding without Maradee! She makes it all happen! Truly, I can’t imagine any big event without Maradee by my side! My styling guru, fairy godmother, and queen!"

"My wish for every bride is for them to have Maradee as part of their team. For starters, Maradee's knowledge and experience in bridal fashion is second-to-none and having her as my advocate during fittings was intricate to my ultimate happiness with my gown. Come wedding weekend, she and her team blew me away. Whatever I wanted, needed or desired, would magically appear out of thin air! From ensuring I was hydrated pre-ceremony to hanging and packing my gown long after I had changed into my second look, Maradee's services were invaluable to making my special day go as smoothly as possible. I cannot recommend her enough!"

"After seeing Maradee in action at one of my best friend's weddings, I knew from the beginning of planning that we had to have her. My mom and I started out by inquiring about day-of services only, but it quickly turned into a full-scale effort and we realized early on that her unique skill set was something we desperately needed. Maradee helped with styling not only myself, my mother, husband to be and bridesmaids. She helped us navigate how to purchase a wedding gown in a peak COVID environment, working quickly to ensure we had the first appointments as salons re-opened so that we could find and order a dress in time for the big day. She always takes care to lay out options, really listening to every comment to ensure every detail is perfect. Never once did I feel like Maradee was pushing her own style or agenda; she just works to help you bring your own vision to life. She was there with me from start to finish, carefully combing over every detail of my dress and overall wedding style.

I was really struggling with the aesthetic and look for my bridesmaids. After one 15 minute conversation, she was able to take a jumbled and non-sensical description and turn it into a design that was better than what I could have even imagined. Hiring Maradee and her team, and then hiring her multiple times over, was the easiest and best decision we ever made! Her and her team of fairy godmothers were always there with helping hands, sometimes even before anyone even asked for a hand. Helpful doesn’t even begin to describe their role. I had the pleasure of working with Maradee for over two years – she is a wonderful human being. I am so thankful to have had the chance to meet her. "

"My daughter had 13 Bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen in her wedding. Just as I was thinking of how stressful the day would become the doorbell rang and in came Maradee. From that moment on things became truly magical. From the way she presented all the bridesmaids dresses, the way she actually repaired my bustle, to the way she repaired a hole in one of my daughter’s dresses; it all simply seemed like a very fun day instead of allowing stress to set in.

 As we got closer to “game time”, every time she whisked by me, Maradee was working her magic on some one and some element of our magnificent wedding. I have two more daughters who I hope someday I will be able to throw a beautiful wedding for. I promise you that the VERY FIRST call I make will be to assure that I have Maradee by my side. She was the absolute best gift I could have given myself that day."

Thank you Maradee!!!!!

"Maradee Wahl might just be the MVP of the wedding world. From my first fitting to my reception wardrobe change, she was there every step of the way with a wise word, helping hand, and warm hug. No detail was too small, or request too large for her and her team. I had two gowns for my wedding, and I cannot imagine navigating the fitting process had Maradee not been by my side at every appointment. She expertly guided the tailor to make subtle but important adjustments, and even helped me select the finishing touches with my shoes and jewelry. 

Perhaps where I was most thankful to have her by my side was on the wedding day. Not only was she a calming presence and ensured all of the details of my wardrobe were perfectly prepped and organized, but she also came to the rescue with a last minute styling emergency. After getting into my dress the day of the wedding, I decided that it was still missing a finishing touch of something at the waist. Maradee worked her magic and produced a small selection of ribbon sashes, one of which made my wedding look even more personalized and special. She even sewed it onto my gown while I was wearing it! 

From the fit, to the styling, and helping ensure I looked picture perfect for my wedding portraits, I am so thankful to have had Maradee there to hold my hand throughout the process and take all of the stress out of the day."

"My only regret in wedding planning was that I didn't find Maradee sooner.
 
Planning, canceling, and rescheduling a wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic was stressful. At times, I didn't know how many guests we would be able to have or if we would have to change venues. However, I knew I would look and feel my best because of Maradee and her alterationist, Orsolina and that Maradee and her team were reliable and trustworthy.

As someone with a bigger bust, I knew I wasn't going to be able to buy a dress straight off the rack. Maradee's passion, energy, and body positivity made me feel safe and supported. She created beautiful look books to help me select clothing for bridal events, some I turned my nose up to and then ended up selecting (trust her!). Maradee and her team are quick, efficient, and discreet. On our wedding day, it rained (Que Alanis Morrisette), and her assistant whipped-out sole protectors from my husband's shoes so he wouldn't slip on the wet concrete. It was so lovely to know I wouldn't have to pull family members from the festivities or miss part of my reception to have the origami of dress bustling done. I casually mingled with guests and ate lamb chops while my dress was bustled!

So yes, my dress was altered impeccably, and my wedding day look was flawless, but I can't emphasize enough that what Maradee does is not simply about clothes or shopping. It's having your best friend and fairy godmother rolled into one as you navigate what hopefully is one of the best days of your life. I can't recommend her services enough."

"My husband and I got engaged in February of 2020 - one month before the world shut down. Eager and excited to plan our wedding, we couldn't anticipate all the hardships to come during COVID with finding vendors, wedding dress shopping, photographers, booking/touring venues and more. The thought of shopping and finding my wedding dress was so overwhelming, especially since so many stores were closed or had strict COVID restrictions. Enter my knight in shining armour, Maradee Wahl!!

Maradee is a true professional and expert when it comes to sourcing exactly what her clients want. She listened attentively to all my style notes, inspiration and needs and put together a thorough (and completely PERFECT) presentation of wedding dresses that aligned with my personal style. Maradee's connections in the industry are unmatched - she booked ALL our wedding dress appointments at various stores across Los Angeles with top stylists, selected dresses at each place and when I found "the one," she handled all the logistics with finding the perfect tailor. She also attended all appointments and was right there with me on my wedding day. I truly don't know what I would've done without her!!"
