Mary Elizabeth Events is wonderful to work with! Both Mary and Nadia are professional, kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. They will think through every aspect of your special day, help you fine tune your vision, communicate clearly with vendors, and execute your wedding day seamlessly so that you can soak in every moment! From a venue manager perspective, I always know that we will have a fabulous and stress free wedding at Eastwood when Mary or Nadia are at the helm!

I love working with Mary Elizabeth and her team. Somehow they magically anticipate needs and handle anything that comes their way gracefully and professionally. Their aesthetic is modern, yet has the classical elegance that will stand the test of time. I highly recommend this team and get a bit giddy whenever I work with them!

Before your wedding day, everybody prepares you for how to react if something goes wrong. But no one prepares you for how you’ll feel when everything goes right. Everything went right. It was perfect, and that is very much a credit to the amazing planning support provided by Mary. From flexible and high-touch planning calls months in advance of our big day, to thoughtful and energetic day-of coordination, Mary gave us the peace of mind every couple deserves leading up to and on the day of their wedding. As bride and groom, we were really able to sit back and relax day of our wedding and soak in the whole experience as Mary and her team ensured that everything was set up as we discussed. Our bridal party was impressed with how we were able to relax day of and leave everything to Mary and her team.
The best wedding planner we could have asked for!

Mary was so great to work with! We could not have made it through our wedding day without her! My fiance and I moved to a new city and both started new jobs all within three months of the wedding which was a huge additional stressor. Mary worked around our crazy schedules and helped keep us on track with planning and the million details that have to fall in to place before the big day. There were so many details that I never would have thought to prepare for without Mary reminding me. I never felt overwhelmed though because I knew Mary had everything under control to make our wedding wonderful. Mary was so thoughtful and caring and did everything in her power to make my dream wedding a reality.
