User2685237 Sent on 07/13/2016Mary Harris, is one of a kind! If I could sum her up in just a couple of words, it would be cool, calm, and collected - all around! When my husband and I first got engaged, I knew immediately Mary was the perfect fit!
We were living outside of Boston at the time, and were to be married at my parent's house in NJ. Mary was communicative, organized, and professional every step of the way! With planing a wedding from out of state, it can cause additional challenges, but Mary and her team were always there to problem solve and lend a helping hand. As anxious as a bride can be (and I was definitely anxious at times), I felt at ease working with Mary every step of the way - from our initial meeting, tastings, vendor coordination, and on our wedding day - her attention to detail, impeccable style and taste are just a few of her greatest qualities.
Mary and her staff helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams, and I could not be more grateful for their hard work and thoughtfulness. You will not be disappointed with entrusting your special day with Mary Harris Events! You'll be in great hands! -
User2401520 Sent on 10/30/2015We first heard about Mary through stellar recommendations from the catering manager at our wedding venue. After Skyping together as a first meeting, my then fiancé and I quickly agreed that we felt comfortable and excited to move forward with Mary to coordinate our wedding day. From the first meeting forward, Mary was always prompt and professional via phone and email. Although we had officially hired Mary Harris Events for “day of services”, Mary helped us with so many recommendations and details that it never felt that we were without guidance throughout the process. She even helped us to put out a couple of fires and to quell some anxieties that inevitably arose along the way. A couple of weeks after we’d been married and could catch our breath, we both were able to say that hiring Mary was one of the best decisions we’d made. Even a few months out from our event, Mary has still been in touch just to say hi and see how we are. We can’t speak highly enough about working with her. -
User2414244 Sent on 11/07/2015I used Mary Harris Events to help plan by 160 person wedding in June 2015 in Princeton. She and her colleagues did a fantastic job! She was very organized, kept me on task, and helped make planning a fun, not stressful process. The weekend of the wedding itself went very smoothly. I was able to focus entirely on enjoying the events without worrying about anything. I recommend her 100%! -
User2400111 Sent on 10/30/2015Hiring Mary as the day-of-coordinator for my daughter's wedding was the best decision we ever made. I can't imagine what the day would have been like without her. She was calm and organized and we all were able to enjoy the day because we knew Mary had every detail under control. I can't thank Mary enough for helping make my daughter's wedding day perfect!

User2394124 Sent on 10/27/2015Mary is honestly incredible! We hired her as our day-of-coordinator but it felt like she was so much more. From the moment we first talked to the big day she was there for anything we needed. She was extremely organized, knowledgeable and helpful. There were a lot of pieces that needed to come together to make the day perfect and she coordinated them all seamlessly. We were able to just enjoy our wedding and not worry about a thing. We knew we were in good hands and we would not have wanted anyone else to take the lead on such special day.

User1870553 Sent on 10/18/2014Mary was a complete joy to work with. We were planning our wedding from out of town so a planner was a must. She met with us from very early on and was highly willing to work within our budget. Our lives are somewhat hectic with our work so we really needed her help to keep us on track. In hindsight, I'm amazed at how little stress we had with planning the wedding all because of her providing us with the right amount of decisions at the right time. Her suggestions for vendors were spot on, and we could not have had a more perfect set of people to work with for our wedding.
We are both grateful to have had Mary as our planner. I could not possibly imagine a better person to have helped us plan our wedding day. She traveled quite far to meet with us at our reception site on several occasions. Her wedding day coordination services were equally impressive. She coordinated from behind the scenes but was always available when someone had a question, and even though it rained on our wedding day, she made flawless changes in the itinerary without any stress. On top of all of this, she did our flowers and centerpieces, which were perfect. I would recommend Mary to everyone without any hesitation whatsoever. -
User1873299 Sent on 10/19/2014We started planning not very early on because we had a short engagement and decided to get married in about three months. We were in a panic mode and started reaching out to wedding planners through theknot and weddingwire. Mary was the first one that responded to our inquiry and from there we decided to take her as our planner. I'd say we made the best decision that we talked with Mary. We were a bit concerned about the budget at the beginning and Mary was able to work out a proposed plan that both of us felt comfortable with. Along with the proposal, she also gave us a clear time line of the preparation stage so that the both of us could see how it could be done and done well.
Mary is always on time with everything in terms of communications, meetings and emails. Most of our communication was done through emails since we were living quite far away from Princeton, but she would go out of her way to touch base with us.
Mary contacted many venues on our behalf and all we needed to do was to pick one from the list. During our visit to the venue, Mary was there with us to meet the sales manager and worked out a deal for us. She also asked questions that we didn't think of asking but were important and I completely felt that Mary was on our side helping us achieve our big day. In hindsight, we did have to travel and meeting people to make decisions but a lot of the leg work or detailed preparation were taken care of by Mary.
On the wedding day, everything fit in place and was a lot better than what we had envisioned. She was there early and set up all the arrangements for the wedding. We enjoyed the whole process, and I was very glad that we chose Mary as our planner to create this beautiful wedding. I would definitely recommend Mary as a wedding planner. -
User1868540 Sent on 10/16/2014My husband and I both have very busy schedule. As the bride, I wanted to plan as much as I could, but as a student in a demanding professional school, I really did not have the time or energy to plan my wedding. We envisioned a perfect day but did not even know where to start. Since the both of us are the only child in our families, our families had not planned any weddings before. In addition, we haven't been to many weddings to know exactly what we wanted. We had a 3-month engagement, and our schedule wasn't flexible in terms of wedding dates. We tried to contact many planners, but Mary was the only one who promptly responded to us. She has been extremely helpful throughout the planning phase. She is reliable, professional, responsible and always shows up early to meetings. She is also very detail oriented and has very good etiquettes.
We had a tight budget, and Mary listened to us and was willing to work around our budget. On the day of the wedding, Mary made sure everything went smoothly. We didn't need to worry about anything other than to be ourselves and enjoy our special day. We have received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful everything was for our wedding, and we really couldn't thank Mary enough for what she has done for us.
Many people ask me how I was able to plan a beautiful wedding in such a short time, and all I can say is "I had the BEST planner!"
Thank you, Mary! -
User1758545 Sent on 08/11/2014Mary is terrific...a true professional! She has great ideas, is creative, and knows the vendors well. It was a pleasure to work with her.

User1347947 Sent on 09/25/2013Let me first explain that as a former wedding coordinator myself, I was incredibly selective as to who would coordinate my own wedding. All I can say is Mary far exceeded my expectations. She was on top of EVERYTHING! Things I failed to remember, she was on it. From instructing our cake cutting tutorial to calming my fears down regarding the possible rain on our big day (oh, and we had sunshine during our ceremony!), she proved herself as reliable, professional, experienced, calm, kind, generous, and certainly a detail-oriented expert! If you want above and beyond service, look no further, Mary is the "it" woman in the wedding industry!

User1257539 Sent on 07/25/2013Having Mary work on my wedding was the first planning decision made, and the best of them. She simplified the process by recommending wonderful vendors. She had such a sense for my style and dream for the wedding and was able to incorporate the many clippings I had shown her into the day. So many people commented throughout my engagement how calm I seemed to be, and amazed that I wasn't stressed. I was calm and never stressed because I knew Mary was taking care of everything - I had nothing to worry about! The wedding was perfect, and in large part to Mary's help. I received many superlative compliments - "the best wedding I ever went to," "the most beautiful flowers," etc, etc. I suggest whether you are considering hiring a planner, or not - hire one! And make the planner that you hire Mary Harris.
