    An absolute dream to work with!!

    After talking with numerous wedding planners, none of whom wowed us, we knew that Mara was the one from our very first phone call. She immediately struck us as someone who was sharp, caring, capable, and would tell us exactly what we needed to hear. All of this turned out to be exactly right as we worked with Mara to plan our dream wedding in Park City, and we can’t recommend Mara and the entire team at Fuse highly enough! We didn’t have a lot of time to put into planning a wedding, and we felt completely at ease putting our special day in Mara’s hands. She shared her top vendors in every category so we didn’t have to spend time doing huge amounts of our own research, but knew we would still be getting the best. Mara was responsive and patient with our many (slightly obsessive) questions. And of course, on the wedding day, I felt a tremendous sense of calm knowing the Fuse team was in control. Even when it started hailing an hour before our outdoor ceremony, Mara helped keep us calm, giving us facts and her recommendation, but never pushing anything. And of course we have to give a huge shoutout to Crystal, who was so wonderful to work with, so quick to respond to our many emails, and an incredibly calming and warm presence throughout the entire wedding day, always checking to make sure - first and foremost - that we were taken care of and having a good time. We are so grateful to the Fuse team for helping us to have the day of our dreams, and truly make the wedding planning experience so fun!!

    FUSE goes above and BEYOND!

    My husband and I worked with Mara and the FUSE team this past year and a half and could not have been happier. They were able to pull off a 300+ wedding with no issues at all. The team was so amazing to work with and they took care of us every step of the way. I would 1000% recommend fuse for your wedding or event!

    Fuse Weddings and Events's reply:

    Hi Matthew! Thank you so much for your review, we had so much fun working with you two (still super happy Utah won out over Ohio, hah!) The photos are so gorgeous, and I am so excited to see your wedding IN THE MAGAZINE next year! Sending big hugs and all our love. - Mara & the Fuse Team

    **highly recommended**

    Mara is awesome. Not only did she bring a wealth of experience and high attention to detail in everything she did, but she really took the time to get to know us and helped us developed a unique and special vision for our big day. Everyone who attended said it was easily the best wedding they had ever been to. Amazing!

    A Beautiful Wedding Planned and Executed by Fuse Wedings and Events

    My 24 year daughter decided to get married in January 2019 in Salt Lake City. My wife had recently passed away and I was traveling 5 days a week. I felt a lot of both daughter expectations and stress surrounding how I was going to do my share in helping plan a spectacular wedding for my beautiful daughter and my soon-to-be son-in-law.
    I checked with 2 friends that both suggested Fuse Weddings and Events. I sat down with Mara and immediately felt comfortable that I could both turn over the reins completely and, secondly, that things would be done with the utmost detail and quality. Mara is a highly driven, articulate, and detailed planner. She is one of those people that just exudes success.
    She developed a detailed plan that we followed, picking everything on schedule and watching the wedding plan take shape. She is a good manager and keeps people in-line, on-time through experience and a sometimes needed push. The wedding was perfect and a huge success!! I recommend her group highly!

    Everything we had imagined and MORE!

    FUSE was exceptional! Because of Mara and her team I was CONFIDENT that nothing would be forgotten. I was CALM because I knew they would take care of the small details. I was WOWED by the design elements and execution of the grand scheme. Our family had the most incredible day celebrating together!! Thank you FUSE.

    Fuse makes wedding planning look easy!

    The Fuse team absolutely blew us away through every step of our wedding process! Everyone always talks about how stressful wedding planning is, but we never once felt an ounce of that stress thanks to Mara and her team. Honestly at one point I told Mara it felt too easy and she told me "That's how I know we are doing our jobs" ! The whole team took the time to get to know us from the beginning, so every vendor they introduced us to was a perfect fit. We were planning our wedding from out of state but it never felt like it thanks to Fuse. They communicated with us every step of the way, and they made sure we were staying on track with every little detail. So much so that the week of our wedding we were able to relax and soak it all in instead of rushing to get things finished. I truly cannot say enough good things about Mara and the Fuse team! They are exactly what wedding dreams are made of!!

    Fuse Weddings and Events's reply:

    Hi Avery! Thanks so much for taking the time to review. My team and I had so much fun working with you, Edward and your families! Mercedes says your wedding is her favorite wedding we've ever produced (not joking!) She references your color scheme, the design and especially the format of the day often when she talk about her own "one day" wedding :) Make sure you call when you're in town, we'd love to catch up! Xx Mara

    Best wedding planner

    Mara & her team are the best! They executed the wedding of our dreams. They were honest, attentive, and extremely involved throughout the entire process. They helped us find the best vendors, brought all of our creative ideas come to life, and the whole weekend was completely seamless. Couldn’t recommend Fuse enough for any celebration you may be planning!

    Money well spent.. worth every cent

    From start to finish Mara and her team were amazing to work with for our big day. We had both the ceremony site and dinner in two different locations and the logistics to get both decor and guests were a little tricky, but they handled both seemlessly. It was so nice as the mother of the groom to know everything was taken care of and all I had to do was enjoy the day and my guests.

    Fuse Weddings and Events's reply:

    Hi Holly! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with my team and I - we're incredibly grateful for the opportunity and are so excited to have been a part of such a fun and exciting celebration for both families (that surprise dance will forever be a top ten moment)! Counting down the days until the next issue comes out... can't wait to see those handsome guys in print! Love, Mara, Kandace and Mercedes

    Stress-free and trustworthy

    I told Mara an idea of what I wanted and she totally nailed it. An all white wedding that had the big wedding feeling but still intimate and romantic. As someone who has a very demanding job working around the clock, I didn’t have time to go through tons of options. She narrowed everything down so it was easy for me to decide and still have what I wanted, if not better. I trusted her to make the right choices for me and that’s exactly what she did. My wedding turned out even better than I had visualized because she had ideas that no one in my circle had even thought of. She made the process of planning a wedding stress-free and smooth. Even when it snowed on my outdoor ceremony, she kept me calm. It takes a special kind of person to do what she and her team did for us.

    Best in State!

    Absolutely love Mara and her team! They made the day so stress free, weren’t afraid to get things done, and did such an amazing job producing our wedding. There is no way we could’ve done it without them, and I have no doubt if we would’ve used anyone else we wouldn’t have been as happy, and our day wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. I can’t think of a single thing that my husband and I had to “deal with” on our wedding. Everything just ran smooth and I know that’s because of the Fuse team behind the scenes.

    Fuse created the wedding of my daughters dreams.

    Mara and her team were the perfect choice for our daughters wedding. They are professional, knowledgeable and accessible. They are highly regarded by all of the vendors that we considered for the wedding. We loved the entire experience.

    It was the best day!!!!

    We were associated with FUSE due to my daughters wedding venue at Salt Lake Hardware building, wedding on December 29, 2018. Our planning, ideas and coordination thru Fuse, resulted in a flawless wedding day. Mara, Mercedes, Kandace, Roxanne manage to balance excited brides and family with the same who can turn to anxiety and frustration (that’s got to be a juggling act:). Thank you so much for being a part of Ashley and Caleb’s day and for putting up with both our happy and crazy.

    Aside from marrying my husband, hiring FUSE was the best decision I made!

    FUSE made all my wedding dreams come true! Not only was Mara so personable, her entire team genuinely cared about our wedding day and all the people involved. Mara thought of every detail and executed our wedding with perfection, I couldn't have done it without her! Aside from marrying my husband :), hiring FUSE was by far the best decision I made!

    Mother of the bride

    Mara and her team are amazing!! They planned my daughter’s wedding and rehearsal dinner and everything was just as we wanted it. Mara is very detail oriented and made sure everything was taken care professionally and beautifully! They also bring an element of elegance to your event. Our wedding was truly a magical evening. I would highly recommend FUSE and Mara to handle all your event needs.

    Recently got married at La Caille and used Fuse to help plan my big day! Mara and Kandace (and their entire staff) are a DREAM to work with! I had complete confidence that they would make my wedding beautiful, but they exceeded ALL expectations! They are extremely responsive, detail oriented, knowledgeable, and FUN to work with. I didn't have to worry about a thing (literally) the day of my wedding because they took care of everything and more. Our big day was FLAWLESS thanks to them. Highly recommended!!!

    Planning a wedding long-distance is no easy feat! When I made the decision to get married in Salt Lake City while living in Dallas, I knew hiring a wedding planner/event coordinator was an absolute must. My first impression of Mara was, "wow, this gorgeous gal has some serious confidence!" I was slightly intimated, but within minutes I could tell she understood my vision and had tuned into my style and taste. Mara was incredibly accommodating and never made me feel bad if I didn't want to rent the most expensive chairs or highest quality linens. She continually assured me that my wedding would be beautiful and it certainly was! She maintained easy communication and I trusted her from day one. Working with Mara was an absolute treat and I would certainly recommend her services to anyone getting married in the state of Utah!

    Mara Harwood is the most wonderful event planner! Not only is she professional and amazing at what she does, but she is a dream to work with. Mara is always on top of things. This is my second event that she has planned (she planned my wedding!) and I never have to worry about a thing going wrong because I know that Mara has it all taken care of. She also has an eye for everything beautiful and perfect for your specific vision of the event. Mara is reliable, organized, and so hard working. I always want to have another big event just so that I have the pleasure of working with her!

    After interviewing several companies, I decided on Mara and Events by LMG. IT WAS MAYBE THE BEST CHOICE I MADE BESIDES GETTING MARRIED! Seriously, her and the team not only listened to every insane idea I had, but contributed a few crazy ones of their own that turned out amazing. I couldn't begin to explain how much I enjoyed working with them but this is a start. I was sad when the event was over because I was going to miss Mara and Candice immensely. You will not regret hiring their event services, I can promise you that.

    Mara and her team were absolutely phenomenal! They took care of every little detail and they were right there with me throughout the entire wedding planning/wedding day process! If I ever got stressed out or worried about a wedding detail all I needed to do was call Mara and she would reassure me and take care of everything! Mara has an amazing fashion sense and all of her suggestions were perfect! Mara definitely understood the vision that we had for our wedding and helped to make that vision come true. I have no idea what I would have done without her! Our Wedding was Gorgeous and I have heard nothing but rants and raves about how our wedding was the most beautiful wedding that anyone had ever attended and how everything from decor to food was fantastic! She is definitely the Best Wedding Planner in Utah and I would trust her and her team with any wedding or event. I interviewed other wedding planners before Mara but they all seemed to busy to even shoot me an e-mail and after meeting with Mara I knew she was different and that she would be a perfect fit! She made me feel as if my event was the only event she was planning ( even though she was crazy busy : ) ) Mara would go out of her way to make sure that things were coming along perfectly or to just touch base with me. Events By LMG is run by a team true professionals who make you feel like celebrity when planning your wedding. Thank You So Much Mara! You helped to make my day Perfect! It was a dream come true!

    I work in the Business Consulting industry and have very high expectations when it comes to client service. Mara and the team at Events by LMG are top notch and definitely exceeded my expectations. Our wedding day was just what I hoped for...I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of - it was already taken care of and thought out for me. Most importantly, throughout the year we worked together, I felt like I was planning my wedding with a friend.

    From the first time I met with Mara at LMG Events, I had absolute confidence that she would be able to help me achieve my vision for me wedding. And she proved me right on the day of the event! Her vendor recommendations were perfect - everyone she recommended delivered exactly what we'd discussed - and more than anything I appreciated her willingness to get whatever I asked for, on budget and with a "can do" attitude. And lastly, Mara's wonderful attitude made all the difference for managing my stress level - she made it easy!

    Mara went above and beyond our highest expectations. Throughout the wedding planning process, we commented on how we felt like we were in the best hands possible, and the money we spent on her services was the best investment we could have made. Thanks to Mara, my husband and I did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day other than enjoying each other and our family and friends.
