The BEST Wedding Coordinators AKA my new BFFS

I cannot say enough good things about Mary and Angela. They were absolutely AMAZING as my coordinators. They made every decision easy, every meeting breezy, and they worked so stinking hard to make my wedding everything I could have ever imagined and more. Little details that were important to me they made happen. I will never get over how magical my entire wedding weekend was and it is because of their hard work and dedication and kindness. If you are currently deciding who to hire as your wedding coordinators do not hesitate, hire them right now! You will not regret it. Thank you Mary and thank you Angela for making me THE happiest bride alive.

Perfection

One of the biggest worries I had for the day of my wedding, and frankly planning, was what happens if something "goes wrong". The answer: Mary. Mary was/is the best investment I made for my wedding and I would hire her to plan my life if she would do it! She asks thoughtful questions leading up to the big day, she gives clear "homework" to ensure that she has everything she needs so she can leave you alone as much as possible, and she handles every bump in the road that came her way. For example, my Photo Booth was 2 hours late to setting up, and I had no idea until walking into the reception area for a sneak peek. Mary had already thought of plan A,B, C and D and didn't give me any reason to worry it wouldn't be handled. That is truly how professional, prepared and wonderful Mary is. If you need help for wedding planning or a day of coordinator, HIRE MARY!

Wedding Coordinator DFW

I can’t say enough great things about Mary!! She was accommodating, fun, understanding, friendly and welcoming to everyone in our wedding party and most importantly made my husband and I feel like nothing could go wrong and no ask was too big. I would recommend Mary to every couple getting married, she was a huge part of our perfect day!!

10/10 Service!

Where to start? Mary is awesome, and my husband’s and my wedding was absolutely wonderful in very large part thanks to her and her efforts. We hired her upon being overwhelmed by the countless moving parts constant throughout the wedding industry (as well as concerns surrounding being taken advantage of by unscrupulous vendors, as we’d heard horror stories surrounding some vendors understanding that they’re dealing with a couple that has no idea what to expect monetarily and plan-wise and unfortunately taking advantage in the form of price gouging or however else), and Mary was a tremendous help in granting us professional knowledge from what we could expect to encounter and with etiquette, as well as generally being an organized, professional, friendly presence. (: Not to mention all the helpful guides and informational sheets we were provided with throughout the process - from lists of recommended, tried-and-true vendors, to a list of common wedding day photo ops. and poses for us to pass along to our photographer upon choosing those we wanted from the list, to a toasting guide to pass along to guests who were set to make speeches, etc.

I’d absolutely recommend looking into Mary’s services. Again, with a large motivator for us being to not get screwed on pricing or elsewhere by having an in-field professional sharing industry knowledge with and advocating for you (and when we had an issue arise, Mary Did advocate for us!). Thank you again, Mary; we still have many friends yet to wed, and when the time comes we’ll pass your info. along. (: Until we meet again!

Incredible service!

Absolutely amazing service!! Mary is so dedicated to what she does and pays incredible attention to detail. She responded immediately to any questions we had by email and called whenever we needed anything. My mom was the primary point person for planning my wedding, and she was not in Texas. Mary made it so easy for my mom to host the wedding in Texas! On the day of, Mary was so attentive to every detail, had all the vendors in order, had the seating chart perfect, ran the rehearsal flawlessly, and never failed to have a smile on. We cannot recommend her more!

Wedding planner for the best day ever!

Mary was and her company were absolutely amazing! Mary is so organized and definitely helped me keep my head straight when wedding planning brain kicked in. She has wonderful contacts and communicates with vendors excellently. There were even little venue issues she immediately addressed on wedding day and made sure I (the Bride) didn't even know about them at all! She made sure everything rand smoothly and it was a perfect day. 100% recommend!

We would be lost without Mary

I wish I could give 6 stars because Mary went above and BEYOND!! As soon as my now husband and I got engaged we mutually decided that a full time planner was needed. As I was searching different planners and looking at their photos on the knot, I noticed someone I grew up with in one of the photos. After getting a great review we decided pull the trigger and man are we happy that we did! Mary is energetic but also very organized and was so helpful to us. She would help brainstorm different ways to try to stay in budget/help introduce us to vendors within our budget. We had a "big picture" idea of what we envisioned for the wedding that she helped bring to life. She also was very helpful and made sure we didn't forget any small details either! The day of the wedding she took care of everything so that my husband and I could really just enjoy our day. She even had it arranged that our wedding items were already packed up in our room by the end of the night. My husband and I still comment on how flawless the whole evening went and it is all thanks to Mary. We would 100% be lost without her and cannot recommend her enough to anyone else getting married!!

A toast events was amazing!

I found A Toast Events on instagram after coming to the conclusion a month of coordinator was needed. My initial call with Mary was wonderful. I knew from the moment I hopped on that Zoom call this company was different. I appreciated them taking the time to actually meet me (virtually) I had spoke over the phone with about 5 other companies at this point. A Toast Events set themselves apart from the rest. The energy on the call was exactly what I needed. Mary took care of all the little details on our wedding day. Things I didn't even think about! Having Mary that month of was a GODSEND. I became so busy with work and Mary made sure all the vendor contracts were to our venue, she handled their timelines and helped us with ours for day of. The day of the wedding Mary went above and beyond. She made sure people were where they were supposed to be. She did it all with a smile on her face! She helped keep us on track and made the wedding such an enjoyable and memorable experience for us! I highly recommend A Toast Events.
