    Mary bell events - exceptional wedding planner

    The BEST decision that you could make in planning a wedding in Western North Carolina is to hire Mary Bell Events. My daughter was married at Deerpark at the Biltmore Estate in May 2024. Mary and her team are professionals – their planning and execution of my daughter’s wedding was flawless. Mary Bell covered all the details (vendors, photography, timeline, music, décor) so that we did not have to stress over anything. I enjoyed “being a guest” at our event because Mary Bell and her #1 team member Katie Garnett had planned out every detail and made certain it was delivered. And, I mean every single detail. Mary Bell Events was “on it” from the big picture to the smallest items. From the time that we began working with Mary and in the months before my daughter’s wedding, I realized that Mary Bell “knows everyone” (vendors and catering staff at Biltmore) important to a wedding event and that “everyone” enjoys working with her company. ALL the vendors that Mary recommended to us (band, transportation, floral, hike and catering companies for guest activity, hair and makeup artist) were excellent. The catering team at Biltmore knew Mary and Katie and they worked together seamlessly. I cannot stress enough that Mary has a network of superior vendors that are essential to hosting a beautiful wedding and reception and each of the vendors from Mary’s network of contracts that we hired “brought their A game” for my daughter’s wedding. Also, Mary Bell did not push us to hire the most expensive vendors – she was respectful of our budget and recommended a list of vendors with a range of pricing and we made the selections. Mary advised us what it was important to spend money on and what wasn’t. For anyone planning a wedding, this type of advice is invaluable. Also, if you are considering not hiring a wedding planner to save money, I suggest you re-think this idea. Mary Bell’s services and access to her network of vendors were well worth her reasonable contract charges. There are so many details involved in wedding planning – having a professional in charge is key to hosting an event that is beautiful, unique, fun, memorable and stress-free. Both Mary and Katie are very creative and they had wonderful ideas and worked with us on the décor (florals, lighting, linens, table placement) that made the evening beautiful. (For context, the ceremony was in the Lodge Room at Deerpark, the cocktail hour and reception were outside in the Deerpark courtyard under a clear, lighted tent and dinner was inside Deerpark). In addition, Mary and Katie were both fun to work with – they did their job but they also made the planning easy and enjoyable. They were enthusiastic and confident throughout the planning process which allowed us to enjoy the experience. In planning my daughter’s wedding, Mary was super organized and she covered all the details in the months before the wedding – nothing was overlooked or forgotten. The timeline planning document that Mary and her team created was unbelievable, and even more unbelievable is the fact that it was executed perfectly. On the night of the event, Katie was in charge and she did a great job. From the start with the line-up for the walk down the aisle to the last guest leaving the reception, Katie managed all aspects of the evening as planned in an unobtrusive way. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was really fun. Many guests (who traveled from Los Angeles and NYC to attend) have contacted me and the groom’s parents to say how much they enjoyed the wedding and reception. I also would like to add that it was easy to communicate with Mary – she answered emails and calls promptly, and our several meetings at the venue were organized and productive. I did not feel at any time that Mary was “too busy” with other clients to respond to me or my daughter. As soon as we were in contract with Mary Bell Events, Mary started working for us and she continued a high level of commitment until the conclusion of our event. In sum, Mary Bell Events has the experience, creativity, contacts and commitment to assist you in hosting an exceptional wedding event in Western North Carolina. In my opinion, Mary Bell is THE wedding planner to hire. If it were possible to give Mary Bell Events “10 Stars” – I would do it.

    Great experience with Mary Bell and team

    We booked full-service planning with Mary Bell and her team about 18 months prior to our wedding. Throughout the process they were proactive, responsive, and provided amazing insights and tips for our wedding along the way. Additionally, all of the vendors they recommended were fantastic. Every touchpoint that we had with them was helpful and the wedding itself went off without any issue. Would highly recommend for anyone considering hiring a planner.

    Unforgettable and amazing experience

    My mom and I do not know where to begin with our sentiments and how to put into words how much Mary Bell and her team helped make my wedding day the most perfect day. It all starts and ends with Mary Bell and her team! Hiring her was like saying yes to my husband when he proposed! I just knew I had found the perfect match! Her confidence, vision, energy, experience and professionalism were evident . For me trying to explain our vision over the phone is difficult. You were patient and kind and when needed firm! You just seemed to get us!
    The vision when it came to life was beyond my expectations! When I walked into the tent before anyone else I cried. Pure joy! I couldn’t believe all the beauty assembled together in such an elegant and unforgettable manner. You do this for a living! I have been to many elaborate events in exquisite places but May 11 at the Diana won the Academy Award for top design and coordination! The joy my husband and I felt to the joy my parents felt words can't describe.
    My friends couldn't get over the incredible florals but are also repeatedly talking about the finer details like the elegant and well coordinated linens, the inclusive and unique items in the welcome boxes. The way the lighting played off the tent as the evening progressed. The fabulous ice sculpture and Lightning jersey instead of a guest book. How gorgeous the seating chart was and how beautifully it matched the invitation. The flower wall, every single detail. the day of the wedding Mary was there every step of the way to make sure we knew the timeline, all of our bridal party and guests were aware as well. Leading up to my wedding date I remember my friends telling me I would feel stress with last minute planning. While there were some things to do, Mary and her team made sure to handle most things and to make sure I relaxed up until the wedding and that they would handle it all and I knew it was in good hands. If you are looking for a wedding planner I cannot recommend Mary Bell events enough as I know they will help make your day the most perfect and special day and every detail and dream you had will become a reality.

    1000/10 stars

    The single best decision I made during my wedding planning adventure was enlisting the help of Mary Bell through Mary Bell Events. I am not a local to Asheville so having someone there to point me in the right direction every time was crucial. Everyone on the team was friendly, prompt, and understood the vision for our wedding even before we knew what we were looking for! I think the biggest testament to this group is that every vendor I worked with could not have more wonderful things to say about Mary Bell. They all told me how much they loved working with her and her group and what a great decision I made. I also want to give a shoutout to Katie, who worked directly with us in the last three months of planning. She ensured everything on our wedding day went smoothly and we were able to enjoy the wedding and not have to worry about anything! I HIGHLY recommend Mary Bell Events!

    Dream Come True Wedding Planner!

    Mary Bell events is THE wedding planner for Asheville, NC!! As we were researching the options, it was very clear she is who we wanted to work with. We couldn't have made a better decision! Mary Bell and her team made the entire process organized and stress free. From phone calls early on to emails throughout our engagement, she helped provide options and insights to amazing vendors that made our day perfect. Her fees are not tied to what vendors you choose, and it was very clear people love working her weddings so we were very well taken care of. She was respectful of our budget and helped make all the details we wanted become a reality. By the time wedding week came around, all of the details were ironed out. We only had to show up and enjoy our special day. We had Katie as our right hand lady on the day of the wedding, and there aren't enough words of thanks! She treated us and our guests with nothing but respect while making sure every moment of the wedding went off without a hitch. Mary Bell and Katie, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our day perfect and unforgettable for all of our guests

    Best Wedding Planner Ever!!

    Mary Bell Events made my wedding the best night of my life. From the coordination with vendors, to the communication between myself and my family members, to recommendations on wedding details, Mary Bell absolutely exceeded all expectations. Her teammate Katie was with us all day long and oversaw every detail. I loved having peace of mind that my wedding was in the hands of an experienced professional. Thank you, Mary Bell Events!

    Best team ever!

    Working with Mary Bell Events was the best decision we made for our wedding!

    When my now-husband and I decided to get married in Asheville, though we live in Florida, I knew that we needed to find a great wedding planner who would help us from start to finish. I found Mary Bell on a wedding vendor search site - she was the first one I saw and I sent a request that day and had signed a contract by the end of the week!

    From the very first call, Mary Bell made me feel like the most special bride in the world and assured me that everything I was hoping to include in our wedding was doable. Her friendliness, professionalism, and expertise are unparalleled.

    Mary and her team answered every question we had quickly, professionally, and kindly. She was a wealth of information, always quick to offer advice and guidance, and recommended an amazing vendor team that made our wedding day the best day ever. It would not have been the same without them! I can be a bit OCD and pride myself on my organizational skills, and Mary kept me grounded and validated my feelings every time I emailed to make sure I wasn’t behind on anything or forgetting something big. She made the process stress-free 100% of the way.

    We had Katie come with us to our tasting, and we all immediately clicked and were so happy when our request to have her as our day-of coordinator was granted! Katie helped us see our “vision” in an empty ballroom and helped us make the decisions that were right for us. Mary and Katie created a fantastic day-of timeline for us, and Lindsay made a great timeline of the ceremony, too.
    Katie did a great job organizing the rehearsal, and together she and Brooke kept the day of smooth, efficient, and FUN. I didn’t stress a single second that day because I knew everything was in great hands!

    I am so grateful to the entire Mary Bell Events team. Everyone was amazing to work with, and I could not have asked for a better experience. I almost want to have another wedding just to have an excuse to work with the MBE team again! Maybe a vow renewal someday?

    You wont find anyone better than Mary Bell and her team!

    I promise you won’t find anyone better than Mary! Mary Bell and her team are the reason my husband and Is wedding was absolutely perfect! We talk about our wedding and both say “we wouldn’t have changed a thing”. Mary takes your dream wedding vision and makes it a reality. As a bride, Mary makes you feel like the most special person in the world❤️

    My husband and I had a destination wedding which could have been very stressful. Throughout the wedding process though Mary was extremely organized and was there for us every step of the way. Not once throughout the planning promise did my husband or I have to worry about a thing. On the wedding day everything went seamlessly. My family and I got to enjoy the day that we had all been waiting for stress free!

    Mary is a beautiful soul inside and out and you will not regret choosing her and her team to plan your wedding!

    Spectacular!

    Everything that Mary Bell Events did and all of the fabulous vendors that were recommended were perfect and made the wedding run smoothly. Mary and her team made the day magical. We got so many compliments on everything. 3 days of fabulous food, beautiful venues and terrific people. I really can’t say enough good things about everyone from vendors to the servers. Everyone was professional and on the top of their game. Mary is truly gifted, her eye for detail is amazing. The flowers!!! I’m speechless, they were gorgeous!! Mary and her team felt like family. They made everything from planning to execution seamless. There was not one hiccup during the three days of events. I would recommend Mary Bell events for anyone that wants a spectacular event.

    Perfection

    Katie Garnett from Mary Bell Events executed the perfect wedding for my daughter at The Farm at Old Edwards Inn in Highlands North Carolina! She was completely in charge and in control of the wedding weekend and executed everything flawlessly and with absolute calmness and control. Our goal was to completely enjoy ourselves like we were guests at the wedding and that is exactly what happened. Our guests were from all over the world and had all been to many weddings and they all said that this was the best wedding they had ever been to! Everything was flawless thanks to Katie and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves the entire weekend. When I researched wedding planners Mary Bell Events had 253 5-star reviews and I thought, "that's not possible", but we book them because they only had 5-star reviews. We hope for the best and I needed someone soon because we had just over a year to plan a destination wedding in the Asheville area. Mary Bell called me right away, had great questions about what we desired from the weeding, she gave us a timeline which was hugely helpful, gave us the absolute best vendors. Every vender that we hired was perfect! They gave us the best advice at every turn. Listen to them they really know what they are doing. We took their advice on everything that we debated on and it turned out better than we hoped. And in the end my daughter, her now husband, me and my husband and my son-in-law's family all got the wedding we had hoped for but so much more. Words will never be able to express our gratitude for Katie Garnett and Mary Bell, they truly are the best!

    • Mary helped us select all of our vendors, including our photographer, videographer, florist, hair and makeup artists, ceremony musicians, and band.

    Top Notch wedding planning

    I would highly recommend working with Mary Bell and her team! You won’t regret it. Her assistant Katie was present at our wedding day and made it flawless! Every vendor that was recommended to us was top notch. The planning process with this team was simple, organized more importantly deceased the stress of wedding planning. These ladies are well respected by the venues/vendors and are the nicest wedding planners we have ever met! Thank you for making our wedding so perfect!

    Mary Bell has our HIGHEST Recommendation!

    We have thoroughly enjoyed and loved working with Mary Bell Events throughout the wedding planning process and couldn’t recommend their services more highly!

    Mary, Katie and the entire MBE team were truly outstanding to work with! Their expertise is next level, but what we loved most was working with such a good-hearted team of people who have such a passion for what they do. This was everything to us in making the planning process so enjoyable!

    Mary has an extensive network and helped us to compile an all-star vendor team based on our budget and priorities. Every vendor she recommended that we worked with went above and beyond in making the day so extra special.

    Katie has such a beautiful eye for design and detail and met with us in person in the Highlands to help us to bring our vision to life. We felt completely at ease on our wedding day knowing that she was the one orchestrating everything behind the scenes.

    The wedding day itself was pure magic! The day flowed so seamlessly and felt natural and effortless. The best day of our lives would not have been possible with out our amazing wedding planning team! We will actually miss the planning process and that says everything about how positive and memorable that Mary Bell Events has made every step of this experience.

    The best vendor we hired!

    We love Mary Bell Events and her team! Leading up to the event, they helped us select THE BEST vendors, and on the day of our wedding so many of my family and friends commented about how we had the best team. That was all due to Mary's suggestions! Mary and Katie were also super familiar with our venue, Old Edwards Inn, which made us feel one step ahead right from the start. On the day of the event, Katie from MBE was calm, supportive, and truly everywhere I looked - could not have been a better day-of planner. Overall I highly recommend Mary Bell if you want a smooth and organized planning process!

    A Wedding Planner Extraordinaire: Kind, Efficient, Amazing, and Professional

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Mary Bell Events and her amazing team who went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the very beginning, Mary's kindness and genuine care for our vision shone through, making the entire planning process an absolute delight (Magnolia Package).

    One of Mary's standout qualities is her efficiency. She effortlessly guided us through each step, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. Her exceptional organizational skills left us feeling confident and stress-free, knowing that everything was in capable hands. No detail was too small for Mary and her team to address, and they consistently demonstrated a keen eye for perfection.

    But what truly sets Mary apart is her ability to create amazing and memorable experiences. She understood our unique preferences and effortlessly translated them into a wedding that was a true reflection of our style and personality. From the stunning floral arrangements to the exquisite venue selection and impeccable timing, every aspect of the event was flawlessly executed. Her creativity and attention to detail truly brought our wedding dreams to life.

    Throughout the entire planning process, the MBE team's professionalism was unwavering. They were always prompt in responding to my queries, and their communication was clear and transparent. Their expertise and knowledge of the industry were evident, as they seamlessly coordinated with vendors and handled any unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency. Their ability to maintain a calm and composed demeanor, even under pressure, was truly commendable.

    I cannot recommend Mary Bell Events enough. Their kindness, efficiency, amazing talent, and professional approach make them an absolute gem in the industry. If you're looking for a planner who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day extraordinary, look no further. With Mary by your side, you can rest assured that your special day will be nothing short of perfection.

    Best in the Business

    Mary Bell and her assistant Katie were the best decision we made when our daughter decided to get married on Biltmore Estate. Mary and her team connected us to and coordinated with the most professional, top notch vendors, which was invaluable when one is planning a destination wedding. Mary kept us on track and accomplished tasks in a timely manner so we never felt "behind" or stressed. The teamwork between Katie, the venue, and the vendors on the wedding day was absolutely flawless. The customized timeline created by Mary, right down to a packing list before leaving home, assured us we were completely prepared. The day of the wedding was just for relaxing and taking it all in because we knew Mary Bell and her team had it covered. I know there is a saying that "there is always ONE THING that goes wrong in a wedding", but I can honestly say that my daughter's wedding was perfect, and Mary Bell Events was instrumental in making that happen. If you want the best in the business, you want Mary Bell as your wedding planner.

    First Class

    Mary Bell and her team were superb.
    As a professional wedding minister for the past 12 years, I've presided over 1000 weddings throughout the Carolinas. This was one of the most beautiful and seemingly flawless weddings I've witnessed. There was no detail overlooked, but also there wasn't pressure or stress on anyone most importantly the bride and groom. There is one simple reason for this calm, and that is Mary Bell.

    Stress free

    MBE was amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. I got married at the Grove Park Inn and chose one of the lesser known wedding locations on site and was a little nervous about the flow of the day, but they had timeline worked out perfectly so everything felt natural. As someone that gets stressed easily, Mary & her team made wedding planning actually enjoyable. Mary has so much expertise and really knows her vendors and who to recommend based off your style. Whenever I had a question she was quick to respond and offer me suggestions or different ideas. Katie (part of MBE team) was a great help and very calming presence throughout my wedding weekend. Thank you for everything!!!!

    The Perfect Wedding Experience

    As the father of the bride all I saw was sticker shock at the beginning. Having no idea or understanding of what is required of a wedding planner all I could do was shake my head when my daughter said she wanted to hire a planner. Looking back, it was the one decision that was key to the wedding being such a successful and almost stress free event.

    Every possible pitfall was managed and planned for, every last minute change was handled with class leaving the bride/groom and the parents with an unforgettably wonderful wedding experience. Mary Bell Events was the absolute key to bringing all the players in place and coordinating every single step of the process.

    I would strongly recommend any bride to be, to utilize a planner to minimize her stress and Mary Bell Events is the best in the business. Hands down.
