Short Engagement Managing

Mary and her team were incredible! I had a short engagement and from the get go she was all hands on deck! In about 7 weeks, she managed to help make my wedding a reality between finding catering (which was delicious) and designing the layout and rentals for the reception, she was spectacular. Katie helped with the reception design and layout and was so receptive to my desire to save money but also balance simplicity and elegance! They were an absolutely incredible team! From the beginning to the very end, they were kind and encouraging and so receptive to my thoughts and desires!

Could not have asked for a better experience!

Mary Bell Events made planning our special day a breeze! Her organization and communication are second to none. She ensured every detail went off perfectly. Working with Mary made the planning process fun! I only became more impressed with her after meeting her face-to-face for the first time on our wedding day. She came in and handled all of the setup and take down to ensure we had nothing to worry about. The personal touches she provided made us feel like she was planning something for her own family. Mary went far above the role of a coordinator when she diligently searched for and found a FIVE leaf clover to commemorate our day (my special sentimental piece on my bouquet was a clover from my grandparents that are no longer with us). Mary did not just plan our wedding (which she did a fantastic job at doing), but she genuinely cared for us along every step of the way and that shined through in the final product of our day. I truly could not ask for more!

THE Must-Use Planner in Asheville!

We got married at the Inn on Biltmore Estate and after booking our venue 1.5 years in advance the next vendor we booked was Mary Bell. The Biltmore requires a day-of coordinator but after reading about the different service levels (day-of, partial planning, and full planning) we decided to get a full wedding planner since we don't live in Asheville. Also we've never planned a wedding before so I wanted someone who knew what they were doing, what would look best, and handle all the details for us. Mary Bell was the only planner we talked to since it was clear she and her team are very experienced and knowledgeable, especially with weddings at the Biltmore. She is the nicest person and was very prompt in responding to any questions we had throughout the process. She provided vendor recommendations and we only selected from those she recommended, and every vendor we talked to said how amazing Mary Bell was so we knew we were lucky to have her as our planner. Throughout the planning process she sent us multiple questionnaires for us to fill out with all our wedding details and preferences, and it included many things we wouldn't have even thought about. She came up with our wedding timeline which was very detailed so we were very prepared for what to expect over the wedding weekend, and provided it to all of the vendors. Kim from Mary Bell's team was our actual day-of coordinator (and Katie her assistant). She ran the rehearsal very efficiently and effectively so it went very smoothly at the actual ceremony. On the day of, the wedding went just perfectly with no major issues or drama, and I didn't actually feel that nervous since there was nothing to worry about with everything planned and knowing that Kim and Katie were there to help. Without Mary Bell our wedding would not have turned out so perfectly and we're so glad to have had her as our planner!
