Mary Bell Events

Mary Bell and Mary Bell Events helped my daughter and me plan the perfect wedding. They had detailed knowledge of the venues on The Biltmore Estate, which reassured us with our chosen location of Deerpark. We received advice on every one of our vendors that we used that day. We also got great guidance on coordination with Biltmore catering. All of this came together to produce the ideal wedding.

If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, stop looking and book Mary Bell Events immediately!

Mary came highly recommended by a friend, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. She met with us promptly to walk us through the process, and because we live about two hours from Asheville, her guidance and expertise in choosing our wedding vendors were absolutely invaluable.
As we toured venues, every single one had the same reaction when we mentioned that Mary was our planner: “You’re in GREAT hands.” Everyone seemed excited to work with her.

Mary and her team were professional, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process. She was incredibly detail-oriented and thorough, which is exactly what you need in a wedding planner. When my husband and I were falling behind in making decisions, she clearly set expectations and let us know what our priorities should be for booking vendors, sending invites, etc.

We did not have Mary Bell with us on the day of the wedding, but she and her team are all incredible and everything was so well planned up to that point that I did not have any concerns. The day went perfectly because of their attention to detail. Mary came in person to our rehearsal and introduced our day-of planner and her assistant, Bree and Helen, and we loved them. My family and I were able to truly relax and enjoy our wedding weekend. The weeks leading up to the wedding, I had friends and family ask how I wasn’t more stressed, and I truly wasn’t because I knew everything was well prepared.

I would not hesitate to book Mary Bell Events. She and her team are all incredible, and are well worth the cost. They are kind, professional, and work well with vendors. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!

Honestly the best investment for your wedding! We started working with Katie a month out, and could not have been more grateful for all her help every singel day leading up to the big day. She called out everything that needed attention in a timely manner, was so organized and professional while also being super friendly and easy to work with, and is really the reason our wedding came together so smoothly and was genuinely the most fun day of all of our lives. We sincerely appreciated all her effort, and know our day wouldn't have been the same without her

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!
