Mary Bell Events

Mary and her team truly do put heart into what they do! It was felt by myself, my now husband, our families, wedding party, and guests- everyone was is awe of such a picture perfect day!! It simply could not have happened without Mary Bell Events!!

We couldn't have asked for a better planner. Mary's professionalism and direct communication were invaluable, making this a day to remember while being sensitive to our budget needs. 10 out of 10 would recommend! Thank you, Mary!!! 🙏🙏

Perfection in every detail. Flawlessly executed wedding only dreams are made of! Mary Bell Events went above and Beyond!

My husband and I can't recommend Mary Bell Events enough! Mary was the first planner we reached out to and after one call, it was clear that we wanted to work with her. Mary and her team are very knowledgeable, hardworking, and have incredible attention to detail. Before my husband and I could think of a potential problem, Mary and her team already had a solution. I was so beyond happy with the entire wedding process and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams (arguably, even better). My husband and I (including our guests) couldn't believe how smoothly the wedding went and how special it felt. A wedding on the Biltmore Estate is already a great choice, but working with Mary Bell and her team was an even better one. We will never forget our wedding day and how relaxed/grateful we were. If you need a wedding planner, we highly recommend working with Mary Bell Events!

Hello Mary,



I doubt you'll remember me from this past weekend's event but I was one of the groomsmen in the Hammer-Novacki wedding. I felt inclined to express to you my admiration and appreciation for your courteous professionalism. Your ability to maintain schedule and order all the while employing the warm diplomacy that you did so effortlessly was very impressive. To come across someone with that dichotomy of skills is rare to say the least. You kept us schmucks in line, the ladies on point and made the children involved feel a sense of duty and importance. Most of all you gave the bride and groom a grand pedestal in which to absorb their very special day. The event was flawless in no small thanks to your efforts and skill. On behalf of the entire family, Thank You! I wish you continued success in your field and will be a champion of your services if ever asked for referrals.

If you're getting married, you NEED to use Mary Bell Events. My fiancé and I were lucky enough to have THE Mary Bell as our lead wedding planner throughout our entire wedding process. She seriously took care of every single little detail. She was always 20 steps ahead when any problem came up. I wasn't stressed on our wedding day at all because she had things completely handled.

She also is just a genuinely kind person and really wants everything to be perfect for the couples getting married. We had all six of my nieces and nephews in our wedding party. Mary was so sweet to them, while also making sure they knew what to do haha.

Mary also has a ton of connections to wedding vendors and we were given great pricing. We went with all of Mary's suggestions and we had the absolute best team of vendors we could have asked for. If I could give Mary 50 stars, I would. My entire family, in laws, and I just thought she was amazing! I truly couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Mary Bell Events.

The BEST decision my daughter and I made while planning her October wedding at our home in the mountains was having Mary Bell events as our planner. They handled EVERY SINGLE DETAIL with such professionalism! Mary and her assistant, Katie, understood our budget and worked to find the best vendors. Each and every recommendation they made turned out to be phenomenal! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day. I did not have to worry about anything - they handled it all - the caterer, the florist, the cake baker, transportation to our home for guests, rentals (tent, lights, heater, plates, napkins, tablecloths, etc.,) the bartenders. We had already chosen the band and the photographer, and Mary and Katie worked wonderfully with them. All the guests told us it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they ever attended. This MOB (Mother of Bride) had a stress free day and was able to soak up all the wonderment of seeing my daughter marry the love of her life! There are not enough words to express my gratitude and thankfulness for Mary, Katie, and all the folks at Mary Bell Events!

Hiring Mary Bell as our wedding planner was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the start, Mary was extremely organized, responsive, thoughtful, and BEYOND helpful. We planned our wedding from out of state and it was so nice not having to rely on Google reviews to choose our vendors. The checklist Mary provided at the beginning of the process allowed us to get everything that we could done ahead of time. I can honestly say the only time we felt stressed during the planning process was figuring out guest accommodations/transportation and last minute changes to our guest count, both of which Mary and Katie helped us navigate. We worked with Katie for the last few months and she was there on the day of, and she was a God send. She made sure I didn’t feel an ounce of stress on the wedding day, helped ease my nerves, and even scrubbed the mud out of my wedding dress before the ceremony, despite there being multiple other people there who would have done it. The value we received hiring MBE as our wedding planner far outweighed what we paid. 1000/10 recommend!

As a bride from out of state, I needed a wedding planner who was familiar with the Asheville area. After meeting with a few wedding planners, Mary Bell truly was the one who meant the most business. Katie met with us to help us plan our vision at our venue! Sharee was one of our wedding day coordinators who absolutely rocked it as well as partner who both always came to check on me and made sure I was enjoying my night. Our guest were so amazed at how everything flowed so easily throughout the day. If you’re a bride coming from out of state I strongly recommend Mary Bell Events!

We hired Mary Bell/Mary Bell Events as our wedding planner for our destination wedding held in Asheville, NC. The planning process itself was about a year from start to finish. The stress of planning a destination wedding itself adds on however having an AMAZING planner made it all worthwhile! Words cannot express our gratitude for Mary Bell and her team! We felt at ease, confident, and loved the communication throughout. On the wedding day she made the wedding timeline itself seemed effortless as well as looking out for our best interests in always asking what we needed of which we truly appreciated!

We never really had a "vision" for our wedding except that we knew what venue we wanted and for it to be a small intimate wedding held in the fall. There were certain colors/items we gravitated towards and then MBE ran with it. To say that our wedding wasn't nailed to a T is an understatement. Our guests are still raving about Mary Bell and her team! Her and her team went above and beyond and having a wonderful experience is priceless! Mary Bell will be missed!!! THANK YOU AGAIN! :) If you are looking for a planner to get the job done look no further don't hesitate and please go hire MBE!!!!!
