About Pure Event Planning & Design

Pure Event Planning & Design

Wedding Planning Service

Pure Event Planning & Design is an award winning, full-service wedding and event planning company based in Duluth, Minnesota offering both wedding rentals and wedding planning packages. Serving both Minnesota and Wisconsin, Pure Event Planning & Design will customize your event to suit your personality. Whether it is years before your event or just a day before your wedding, Mary and her team make event planning pure and simple!

I fell in love with wedding and event planning in college. Before starting Pure Event Planning & Design, I worked as a wedding coordinator and events manager at several high-end venues around the Minneapolis/(personal information protected by Zola) metro area. Turns out, there is a lot more to planning than a guest list and decor (which is why you are here, right?!). I started Pure Event Planning & Design because my passion in life is making my clients’ lives easier. Planning weddings and events can be stressful and complicated. You should get to have fun while planning your wedding. You should also get to be present for every moment of your special day.

In three words: Fun, Positive, Supportive

    Having Pure Events help with our backyard wedding was the best decision we made. Mary, the owner, was incredibly responsive, clear, and organized throughout the entire planning process. She guided us expertly, helping us make the best choices for our special day. We couldn't have had the beautiful, stress-free wedding we did without her! Mary and the Pure Events team truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect.

    Dedicated and Positive!

    Mary and her team are SO easy to work with. They are certainly experts in their field but are also always willing to learn and expand their knowledge. Mary is so dedicated to her clients and really invests her time and energy into each couple. You know you're going to get your dreams brought to life with Mary and brings out the best in all the vendors around her and helps to curate the perfect wedding day experience for you and your guests. Highly recommend!

    Hello! I want to give my gratitude and thankfulness to Mary and her crew! I remember our first phone call. My momma and I called her on a Friday at 4:57 pm. I told my mother this is a bad idea LOL but Mary answered! Since then, she has not only been a fantastic wedding planner, but also a great friend and someone I could call and just vent to..wedding related or not. Less than a month before mine and Tyler’s wedding, my grandma passed on. This was such a difficult time as I was getting ready to start work again after my surgery, yet Mary checked in with me throughout those tough weeks. The week of the wedding, she was by my side planning and providing support.we had many customizations to the wedding and Mary was more than willing to help with these tasks! She is kind, so outgoing and dedicated to making other peoples weddings perfect. I have no words to explain how amazing this woman and her business are. Thanks Mary. You’re the best—seriously! 110% recommend!

    Pure Events is THE planning company to work with. Mary & her team are absolutely top-notch. Truly the best of the best. Working with her as a fellow vendor, it's always a good day when we have a Pure Events wedding. Since I've had the pleasure of working with her professionally, she was the obvious choice for our wedding. Working with her as a client is an absolute dream. The check-ins, planning process, and rental options helped get the nitty gritty details ironed out well before our wedding day. She and her team handled all of the decor with the utmost care during setup, a space flip, and tear down. The day-of flowed so smoothly because she and her team were at the helm. One of my favorite memories of the day is the misty eyes from her team as I was about to walk down the aisle.💗 There were things her team handled or did that made the day even better than I could have imagined. Every detail matters to the Pure Events team, and the care and love they have for their work is so evident.
