Professionalism with ease & authentic kindness
Book Beyond Smitten!
We booked the wedding day management package and were very happy with the amount of check-ins and guidance that Mae offered in the lead-up to our wedding. Mae and her team took charge of all the coordination, vendor management, etc. on the wedding day, which made it possible for me and my husband to relax and enjoy every minute! Thank you, Mae!
A Stress-Free and Supportive Planning Experience with Mae!
As our wedding got closer, Mae kept us organized and on track without ever making things feel overwhelming. The weather forecast was all over the place, and she helped keep us as calm and prepared as we could be. It did end up raining, but Mae and her team handled our plan so smoothly that we didn't even notice anything happening behind the scenes :)
Mae is warm, friendly, professional, and brings such a calming energy to every interaction. We’re SO grateful for her support and highly recommend working with her!
Rainy day turned bright :)
The best at what she does!
Our Perfect Day with Beyond Smitten Events
Mae was always accessible, responding promptly to our questions and concerns, which was incredibly reassuring. Her budget-conscious strategies were a lifesaver, helping us prioritize our wants and stay within financial limits without compromising on the quality of our big day. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, reflecting her deep understanding of the industry and our personal tastes.
One of the standout qualities of Mae and her team was their ability to handle the complexities of our blended family. They made sure that the dozen or so children at our wedding were included and entertained, all while maintaining the sophistication of the event—no easy feat!
Mae’s warm, gentle energy was a perfect fit for our group, making everyone—from our youngest guests to the oldest—feel completely at ease. We were particularly impressed with how her team managed every detail, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our special day.
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not just capable but also a joy to work with, look no further than Mae Mallon and Beyond Smitten Events. They’re just awesome!
Mae and her stellar team gave us a perfect day
