Ostrander Wedding at The Promise Gardens of the Adirondacks

We spent the better part of a year working and planning with Mary and her team to curate our wedding down to every last detail. Mary’s organization, knowledge of the industry & vendors and our venue made her invaluable to us, but ultimately her ability to make us feel like friends was what makes her different. She truly cared that we had the best day of our lives and did everything in her power to make that happen including pivoting at the last second when our outdoor wedding was set up and ready to go and a thunderstorm came passing through! Thank you so much to Mary & Gerri for curating the most perfect day for us! She also captured the most perfect photo of our private last dance too! We love you both!

Mj is a hero

Mary and her team were absolutely incredible in all aspects of planning our wedding, and the day of the ceremony was truly perfect. She made it so that me and Meghan did not need to feel stressed or worried about any aspect. I would recommend Mary and her team to anyone looking to plan a wedding. At the end of the evening, my dad asked her if she could help him organize his day-to-day based off the flawless execution he witnessed.

Mary was incredible. She exceeded every idea and expectation my husband and I had for a wedding planner. Throughout the planning process, Mary continued to show her passion and skillset in the wedding planning industry. Mary is impeccably organized and flexible. Her on the go thinking, and quick response really helped our wedding day turn out to be everything we could’ve wanted and more. I highly recommend Mary and her assistant, Gerri for all things wedding planning. We hired Mary as our wedding planner, but ended up with someone we now consider part of our family. Thank you Mary and Gerri!

To know Mary Jacobs is to love her... to work with her on a wedding is to be completely blown away by how awesome she is! Mary knows all the ins and outs of the wedding industry, since she comes from a background in catering and banquet management. She goes out of her way to make sure every vendor on the team ("friendor," as she likes to put it) is supported and informed. Her focus is on making the day perfect for the couple, and she pursues perfection by being exceptionally kind and detail-oriented. Can't wait to work with her again!
