    The very best!

    Mary and Julia are true angles! You will NOT regret having them by your side. Every step of the way, they are there and beyond. I didn't have to worry about a single thing because they already had.

    I was nervous to spend a significant portion of my budget on planners because I've planned large events before and felt confident I could do it again, but after meeting with May and Julia we knew they would make our lives a million times easier.... and that turned out to be an understatement. To this day, my husband regularly boasts that after asking me to marry him, the second best decision he has made was encouraging me commit to Mary and Julia. He's definitely right.

    From day one they made me feel excited for the big day and I had no doubts they were on my side. More than a few of the vendors we worked with gave us substantial discounts just because they love working with Mary so much and know she will make sure everything is perfect. (One vender went as far as 50% off of normal costs.)

    They think of everything and know the right time to ask. I couldn't even begin to express how truly wonderful they are.

    When we had a big COVID scare less than two weeks from the big day, it was Mary who calmed me down more than anyone else around us. She deftly knew exactly what to say to keep me from panicking and (forgive the pun) Brought It All Together.

    They are the very best and clearly love being able to help beautiful couples have the most perfect day.

    Best wedding planners in Southern Missouri

    Mary and Julia are top notch in the wedding planning business. Living several hours away, I was worried about planning a wedding long distance, but they both helped tremendously and I can truly say I wouldn't have been able to pull it off without them. Mary spent countless hours on the phone with me listening to understand my vision and speaking with other vendors on how to bring that vision to life. I had a videographer that cancelled last minute and Mary quickly used her resources to find me another one that fit my vibe and what I was looking for. The day of the wedding was perfect and I was stunned with how everything turned out. Mary and Julia both go above and beyond for their clients!

    Bringing it Together Events is the premier pick for wedding planning/coordination! Whether you prefer a full-time planner or someone for day-of coordination, Bringing it Together is the place to go. Mary, the owner, is such a joy to work with! The love she has for her work is evident every time you meet with her. As I did most of my wedding planning from afar, Mary was our lifesaver. She had the greatest vendor recommendations, advice, and support to insure that the planning process was both smooth and fun! She always had an open line of communication and was willing to help in whatever way possible. She coordinated our wedding day perfectly and made sure that it was exactly what we wanted. Our wedding party and guests were impressed with how organized and timely our day was, allowing our families and friends to simply enjoy! I truly loved the wedding planning process and I believe it was because of Mary's guidance! I give Bringing it Together Events my highest recommendation and I'm so thankful they were a part of our big day!

    Bringing it Together Events is the Rolls Royce of wedding planning! I truly could have not done this without Mary and her dream team! From day one, Mary made me feel like I was talking to a best friend. Everything I explained to her that I envisioned for my wedding she made come to life. Along the way she knew exactly what to say to help relieve stress and make wedding planning an enjoyable experience. I can honestly say that there was never a time that I felt overwhelmed, and that was because of her! Mary brings so much expertise to the table that she was able to plan my wedding without leaving a single detail out. My wedding was all that I had ever hoped for and more! Mary and I spent countless hours on the phone, since I currently was out of state. Anytime of day that I would call she would answer. I would ask her question after question, and still she helped me remain calm and she would listen. Our wedding was at Big Cedar, and let me tell you it was absolutely stunning!!! Mary had recommended this venue, it was breathtaking! During our rehearsal at Big Cedar Mary made the magic happen. She ran the rehearsal so efficiently, therefore the wedding was IMPECCABLE! Throughout the morning of my wedding I had the wonderful experience of getting ready in the Bridal Suite at Big Cedar. The time that I spent with my Bridesmaids was all the more special because of the Bridal Suite atmosphere. (Again, Mary's suggestion) I am so thankful that I chose Big Cedar as my venue simply because of the beauty that it offers. Views for days, accompanied by magnificent landscaping and gardens, are reason enough to have your wedding here. Christine Bonnivier was my photographer. (recommended by Mary) Her exquisite talent allowed my husband and I to relive the beauty of our special day at Big Cedar over and over again. Rest assured you can leave it up to Mary and her team to accomplish your goals in a timely, professional manner. She is a "go-getter" and nothing is out of reach with

    Mary was a complete life-saver to me as I was planning a wedding in Missouri all the way from Texas. She is extremely competent and knowledgeable about every vendor and venue and has such a friendly and gracious presence that working with her is a joy. Mary took care of every single detail, large and small, and made the wedding day very relaxing and fun for me, when I really thought I would be a nervous wreck. I am so thankful that she was referred to me because she made my son's wedding the most beautiful day we could have dreamed of. Highly recommend!!

    To say that I could not have done this without Mary and her team at Bringing it Together Events would be an understatement. Throughout the planning process Mary was with me every step of the way, the closer I got to my wedding date the more at ease I felt because I knew I had Mary in my corner. She thinks of things and has the answer before they even come up and knows exactly how to work out any situation and work with any kind of vendor. I would not only recommend Bringing it Together Events, I would highly encourage you to do everything you can to hire this team if you are even flirting with the idea of hiring a planner. Thank you to the moon and back for everything you did for Jon and I, it was truly an amazing experience being one of your brides!

    Mary and her team were the best thing that happened to me during my engagement! I can not say enough positive things about her and the wonderful staff that I had the privilege to work with the year I was planning my wedding. From organization, to invitations, to favors, to ANYTHING; Mary and her team worked so hard to make my day go off without a hitch. If you are engaged, you need to hire Bringing It Together Events to make sure your day was as perfect as mine was!

    I don't know what we would have done without Mary and her gals!

    We hired Bringing it Together to coordinate day-of activities for our April 2015 wedding, and I cannot even begin to tell you how much stress was relieved knowing there was someone else handling all the logistics! In our meetings with Mary before the wedding, she asked questions we hadn't even thought of and was incredibly supportive of our outside-the-box ideas. I was able to really enjoy the day, trusting that Mary had it handled and would let us know where we needed to be. She and her gals are the epitome of grace under pressure!

    If you are questioning whether you really need a wedding planner, trust me...you want Mary. She will make sure you look back on your wedding day and have only fond memories of how well everything went!

    Mary is the BEST!!! I had some amazing venders, but if I had to make one recommendation to future brides it would be to hire Mary and her staff! She will do anything and everything to make your wedding day dreams come true. Mary goes above and beyond to bring your vision to life! Her services are reasonably priced and well worth it! Mary will give you peace of mind and a stress free event! I can't say enough good things. Simply put, she is amazing, and a must have on your wedding vender team!!

    The biggest mistake I made in planning my daughter’s wedding was not hiring Mary Douglas and her team sooner. While Mary is a true professional who has an in-depth knowledge of her industry, other local wedding vendors and current styles and trends; when you sit down with her to describe your vision, it is more like sitting down with a good friend. Mary and her team took the time to listen to my daughter and me. On the big day things could not have gone more smoothly. I was able to enjoy the day with my daughter and our family and friends without worrying about the details. Bringing It Together Events delivered beyond our vision. Our wedding guests are still talking about how lovely everything was from the ceremony to the reception. No task was too big or too small for this team. Thanks Mary for the perfect day!

    Bringing It Together Events and Mary Douglas could not have been more amazing to work with for our wedding. Mary brought so much knowledge and expertise to our event, but most importantly peace of mind. I don't live in Springfield and was planning the wedding from afar. Mary and team worked tirelessly to ensure that every last detail was taken care of leading up to the event as well as on the big day. This allowed my family to relax and truly enjoy the wedding. As my dad says, "hiring Mary was the best thing we did." Mary- Thanks so much for everything you did to make our day amazing! We truly enjoyed working with you!

    Mary was absolutely amazing!!! I would recommend her (and her staff) to anyone debating on hiring a wedding planner. They made the process extremely smooth and a lot less stressful. It was also a plus that they all had such great attitude and fun personalities.

    Mary with bringing it together events did a fabulous job at making our wedding day perfect. She took so much stress off of me and my wife throughout the whole planning process. I don't think we could have chose a better person to help coordinate the wedding from a planning aspect to the actual wedding ceremony and reception. Just perfect in every way! Thank you Mary!

    I always thought that I would over think every part of my wedding. But who wants to do that? Not enjoy the planning and be to stressed out to enjoy the whole experience. Mary and her team took care of every worry and every question I had. I always left our meetings, and phone calls feeling calm and like everything would be taken care of.

    She recommended great vendors, got great deals, and overall has a great relationship with the bride.

    Dealing with a wedding that was 2 hours from civilization and that most people have never even heard of would be a challenge, but Mary acted like it was routine.

    My number one advice on having a wedding? GET A PLANNER!

    Best. Decision. Ever.

    My Husband and I were extremely happy with Mary. We were introduced to her by our venue (Anne at the Savory), and our first meeting we schedule our photographer and cater. All the stress I was feeling trying to plan our wedding, was lifted in our first meeting. Our day was perfect, oh forgot to mention we had two weddings in one day. My wedding went smooth and I was able to enjoy my day and never know if we had any issues. If anyone is looking for a planner I would recommend Mary hands down. I am going to miss our meetings and hope all the best for her and her future. Love you, Mary!!!!

She handled every little detail so that I could truly relax and enjoy every minute of my daughters wedding. I would highly recommend Mary Douglas to anyone looking for a great wedding planner!! Don't try to plan a wedding without her :)

    Rule #1 for planning a wedding...hire a planner!
    Hiring Mary Douglas with Bringing it Together was the best decision I made for planning my wedding. As the wedding day drew near, I realized that I needed help with a lot of details that I didn't want to have to mess with, I realized that I didn't want to spend my wedding day or have my friends and family setting up and cleaning up, and I also didn't want to have to deal with vendors and the wedding day timeline the week of the wedding. This allowed for my wedding day and the entire planning process to be stress and worry free, and I was able to spend more quality time with family members and friends that were in town for the wedding. Mary Douglas is an expert with wedding planning, and she has a well trained team to help assist her. They didn't miss one detail. I would highly recommend Bringing it Together for your wedding planning!

    Mary and her Team at Bringing it Together helped my husband and I plan the best day of our lives! As a first time bride, I had no clue how to plan a wedding. Who knew there were so many details to coordinate? I hired Mary for her "day of" services, but she went above and beyond and helped me before, during and after the wedding. We had several coffee dates leading up to the big day and she really took the time to get to know us and grasp our vision for the ceremony and reception. Throughout the planning process, Mary was in constant contact with both us and our wedding vendors. Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to Mary and her Team. If I could give future Brides any piece of advice it would be; hire a wedding planner, but not just anyone, hire Mary with Bringing it Together. She truly is the best!

    Mary and her team at Bringing It Together were perfect! Reasonably priced and professional. We were in need of "day of" coordinating and they definitely came through, exceeding our expectations. My husband and I (parents too) were clueless when it came to things like scheduling the day, cutting the cake, how to walk down the aisle...Mary was by my side the entire way. She even helped bussel my wedding dress at the reception! Having a destination wedding was scary but she was always available to talk or text. She put up with all of my emails and was able make the dream wedding in my head a reality. The day could not have gone better!

    Mary & Julia are such a good resource for a wedding! They were both so helpful and really helped me out whenever I had a question or an impasse with my mom & dad. There is nothing more valuable in a wedding service than finding a vendor who can relieve some of the stress -- which is exactly what Bringing it Together does!

    Working with Mary was so much fun! She really helped to make sure I didn't get too stressed about the details. She was always available to calm me down if I called her panicked or to meet with me if I wanted to review something before the big day! I am so glad that I had Mary's help on my wedding day because her staff took care of all the little details that I put so much work into. They also helped to solve potential catastrophes caused by my venue. They solved them so quickly and efficiently that I didn't even know about them until days after my wedding.
