I DO Need You
I DO Need You
Luxury is not simply how a wedding looks. It is how cared for you feel while experiencing it.
At I DO Need You, we believe couples deserve to be fully present for one of the most meaningful days of their lives.
Founded by Marisa Furlong, I DO Need You is a Southern California wedding planning company offering Full Service Planning and Wedding Day Management for celebrations throughout California and destinations worldwide.
Marisa is known for her calm presence, thoughtful leadership, meticulous organization, and genuine care for every couple she serves. She approaches each wedding with the understanding that behind every timeline, vendor, and design decision is a deeply personal story and a day that can never be recreated.
From the first conversations to the final moments of the celebration, Marisa is there to guide, support, anticipate, and advocate. She manages the details quietly and intentionally so her couples never have to carry the weight of what is happening behind the scenes.
The true measure of the experience is not simply what guests see.
It is the bride who never has to check the time.
The couple who never knows a problem was solved.
The family who is able to celebrate instead of coordinate.
It is the moment you look around and realize you are not thinking about what comes next. You are simply there, surrounded by the people you love, fully experiencing the day you have been waiting for.
Because exceptional wedding planning should give you more than a beautiful celebration.
It should give you the freedom to be present for every moment of it.

Testimonials
A fantastic coordinator to work with! As a venue, we appreciate their professionalism, quick action when anything is needed, and their willingness to go above and beyond. Truly a dream partner on wedding days.
Marisa was incredible! We cant recommend her enough!! We "hired" her a year out and she was checking in periodically, which helped me as a first time bride. During my wedding weekend she removed ALL the stress, went above and beyond- but ultimately became like family. Marisa and her team were professional, great to work with, and very supportive.
Marisa was an incredible Day-of Wedding Coordinator! From start to finish, she was fully prepared, organized, and always one step ahead. Her communication was excellent she made sure everyone knew what to do and when to do it. She paid attention to every small detail and ensured that everything went perfectly. Because of her, our day went off without a hitch and we were able to just relax and enjoy it. Marisa did a phenomenal job and comes highly recommended to anyone looking for a coordinator who truly goes above and beyond!
Marisa was an amazing coordinator. I was able to enjoy my wedding without dealing with the hassle of the vendors asking me if I wanted this or wanted that. I felt at ease throughout my wedding and enjoyed every moment because the responsibilities of everything running smoothly were handled by Marisa. She is 100 percent worth the extra money to ensure you can be fully present during your special day.
Marisa and Christina were so incredible every step of the way throughout our wedding journey. They went above and beyond to make our experience as carefree as possible - we don't know what we would've done without them! We learned that a day-of coordinator is an absolute necessity and trust me, "I Do Need You" is the best place to put your trust for such an important.
