The Best Decision We Made for Our Daughter's Wedding!

Hiring Mallory and All the Dainty Details was hands-down the best decision we made during our daughter’s wedding planning process. From day one, she was organized, thoughtful, creative, and incredibly responsive. She truly listened to our daughter’s vision and brought it to life with such care and attention to detail—we couldn’t have asked for more.

Mallory and her team handled everything from timelines and vendor coordination to design inspiration and last-minute changes with grace and professionalism. On the wedding day, my daughter and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Everything ran seamlessly, and we were able to be fully present, knowing Mallory had it all under control.

What really sets Mallory apart is her calming presence and genuine passion for what she does. She made us feel supported, excited, and stress-free throughout the entire journey. Our daughter’s wedding was more beautiful and meaningful than we could have imagined, and we owe so much of that to Mallory’s expertise and dedication.

If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were their own, look no further. We are forever grateful for everything Mallory and her team did to make our daughter’s day so special.

— Mike and Terri Barnett, parents of the bride

Mallory is the best!

Mallory is absolutely fantastic. We worked with her for 1.5 years (!!) to plan our wedding, and the day was perfect. Throughout the entire process, Mallory was so organized and kept us on track, while being calm and enthusiastic. Knowing that she had everything handled really enabled us to be fully present and enjoy our wedding weekend, since we didn’t have to stress over any details! Mallory truly went above and beyond (she even drove us home at the end of our wedding night - a short drive, but still 😊), and we couldn’t have done this without her. Thank you, Mallory, for being such a delight to work with and making our perfect wedding day a reality!

The best wedding planner!

Mallory was a joy to work with through every step of the process. She went above and beyond to make our day as easy as possible. She was always kind and helpful, gave us great feedback and suggestions, and even took care of our dog for a few minutes for us. Thanks to her, we were able to find a great list of vendors, found decor and flowers that felt perfect for us, all within our budget. She truly is a rock star and knows her stuff

TLDR; hire Mallory. She’s amazing.

Firstly, hire a wedding planner. Second, if you choose to hire a wedding planner, hire Mallory. I hired Mallory as a partial planner, and it was the second best wedding decision I made (aside from marrying my husband :) ).

Working with Mallory was an absolute pleasure, from start to finish. I initially hired Mallory because she was the only wedding planner I spoke to who was honest with my about my budget and expectations. She genuinely wanted to help me plan the wedding I wanted while helping me stay within my budget, which was really important to me. She was kind, yet honest, as she has a keen understanding of what is reasonable and possible in the wedding world. Not only did Mallory help us stay within our budget, but she helped us save thousands of dollars in wedding expenses. If you’re worried about your budget, Mallory will quell your fears.

Mallory always handled my concerns with care and compassion. She provided a really comprehensive and straight-forward timeline and was really on top of reminding me when wedding tasks needed to be done. Mallory also has incredible connections in the wedding industry- we hired most of our vendors through her and LOVED them too.

I have never met anyone with as acute attention to detail as Mallory. She made the pre-wedding planning far less stressful, and she made me feel comfortable and confident that she had everything under control the day of. I was able to actually have fun on my wedding day because of Mallory.

TLDR; hire Mallory. She’s amazing.

Mallory and Leigh were excellent!

Mallory is amazing to work with and hiring her early was one of the best decisions we made. We opted for her Day Of Planning but I was really impressed by the amount of communication and help we received in the months leading up to our wedding. She was very responsive - She checked in regularly, quickly answered any random questions we had, and provided all the resources we needed. Without her, I would have been beyond stressed on wedding day - we were able to hand over the day to her and Leigh without worry. They executed everything flawlessly. Also, both Mallory and Leigh have a calm and kind demeanor that really helped me on wedding day (I was so nervous!).

Absolutely amazing!

Mallory is incredible!!! After postponing our wedding one year due to COVID, Mallory made our wedding planning process stress free by being so helpful and so responsive to our questions. She is incredibly professional, calm, and overall such a joy to be around which put me, my family, and fiance at ease. There was no stress at any point in the day! With last minute cancellations and changes, Mallory ensured everything was perfect by communicating with vendors and made sure all of our bases were covered. Thank you, Mallory, for providing us with such an amazing wedding planning experience!

I can never really thank Mallory enough for making our wedding day PERFECTION! I can’t stop smiling and reliving my wedding day and how it all came together because of Mallory!

Amazing Professionals!

Mallory and Leigh were so amazing to work with, we truly can't say enough good things about them! Mallory was super responsive and accommodating as we navigated our wedding through covid times. Leading up to our wedding day I felt so confident that the day would run smoothly because Mallory had everything perfectly planned out and had been in contact with all of our other hired vendors. On the day of my wedding I didn't worry about a single thing, Mallory and Leigh had everything perfectly under control. It was so nice to just sit back, relax and enjoy the day! We would highly recommend hiring All the Dainty Details for your day, they are true professionals and so lovely to work with!

Above and beyond

Mallory and her team were so amazing to work with and were absolutely invaluable to making sure we had an amazing and stress-free wedding. While we opted for her "day of planning" services, she really went above and beyond our expectations from the moment we hired her--doing everything from checking in on us, answering all our questions, keeping us on track, managing communications with our vendors, making sure we left no stone unturned, and so much more. We found her web tool (Aisle Planner) extremely useful as it allowed us to share our plans in a common place, and provided numerous resources to help us cover every last detail. In the end, she helped us build a rock-solid plan, and when we handed everything over to her on the day of our wedding, she and her team executed it flawlessly. We almost can't believe that we almost thought about going through this whole process without her!
