Short Engagement Managing

Mary and her team were incredible! I had a short engagement and from the get go she was all hands on deck! In about 7 weeks, she managed to help make my wedding a reality between finding catering (which was delicious) and designing the layout and rentals for the reception, she was spectacular. Katie helped with the reception design and layout and was so receptive to my desire to save money but also balance simplicity and elegance! They were an absolutely incredible team! From the beginning to the very end, they were kind and encouraging and so receptive to my thoughts and desires!

Could not have asked for a better experience!

Mary Bell Events made planning our special day a breeze! Her organization and communication are second to none. She ensured every detail went off perfectly. Working with Mary made the planning process fun! I only became more impressed with her after meeting her face-to-face for the first time on our wedding day. She came in and handled all of the setup and take down to ensure we had nothing to worry about. The personal touches she provided made us feel like she was planning something for her own family. Mary went far above the role of a coordinator when she diligently searched for and found a FIVE leaf clover to commemorate our day (my special sentimental piece on my bouquet was a clover from my grandparents that are no longer with us). Mary did not just plan our wedding (which she did a fantastic job at doing), but she genuinely cared for us along every step of the way and that shined through in the final product of our day. I truly could not ask for more!

The Absolute Best Planning Team in North Carolina!

Choosing to work with Mary Bell Events (MBE) was the best decision my mom, my husband, and I could have made. Although my parents spend half the year in Asheville, none of us are locals. Fortunately, MBE knows everyone in the area. Mary and her team were fantastic to work with throughout the 13 months of planning. They consistently provided honest feedback and recommended exceptional vendors that we loved for our big day. Their attention to detail is truly unparalleled.


Thanks to their meticulous planning, our wedding day went off without a hitch. While many brides and grooms experience stress leading up to and on their wedding day, my husband and I felt completely at ease. Thank you, MBE, for making our day so perfect!
