Reviews of Mary Harris Events

I used Mary as a day-of coordinator for my Labor Day weekend wedding and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Our wedding ceremony was in a church in a small town before guests walked over to the reception venue. While not a ton of people, there were a lot of logistics getting various vendors to the church versus the venue, moving flowers and decor items between the spaces, and generally keeping the day on track. Mary and her team were invaluable. From our first meeting, Mary exuded a sense of calm and was so helpful in tracking all of the myriad details and things that still needed to be resolved. She was always easy to reach when needed. The weekend of the wedding Mary came to the rehearsal and then was on site early the next morning to keep the day running. She took so much pressure off my mom and me (particularly my mom!) knowing that someone else was thinking of all the details. We had a wonderful experience with Mary!

Mary Harris, is one of a kind! If I could sum her up in just a couple of words, it would be cool, calm, and collected - all around! When my husband and I first got engaged, I knew immediately Mary was the perfect fit!

We were living outside of Boston at the time, and were to be married at my parent's house in NJ. Mary was communicative, organized, and professional every step of the way! With planing a wedding from out of state, it can cause additional challenges, but Mary and her team were always there to problem solve and lend a helping hand. As anxious as a bride can be (and I was definitely anxious at times), I felt at ease working with Mary every step of the way - from our initial meeting, tastings, vendor coordination, and on our wedding day - her attention to detail, impeccable style and taste are just a few of her greatest qualities.

Mary and her staff helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams, and I could not be more grateful for their hard work and thoughtfulness. You will not be disappointed with entrusting your special day with Mary Harris Events! You'll be in great hands!

Mary is so chill and very well organized. She swept into our lives and brought such a great vibe and yet got so much done. She communicates well and often, a real draw for a planner. The day of our wedding Mary kept everything moving steadily. She also made sure we had everything we needed. A+ for her and her services!

I used Mary Harris Events to help plan by 160 person wedding in June 2015 in Princeton. She and her colleagues did a fantastic job! She was very organized, kept me on task, and helped make planning a fun, not stressful process. The weekend of the wedding itself went very smoothly. I was able to focus entirely on enjoying the events without worrying about anything. I recommend her 100%!

We first heard about Mary through stellar recommendations from the catering manager at our wedding venue. After Skyping together as a first meeting, my then fiancé and I quickly agreed that we felt comfortable and excited to move forward with Mary to coordinate our wedding day. From the first meeting forward, Mary was always prompt and professional via phone and email. Although we had officially hired Mary Harris Events for “day of services”, Mary helped us with so many recommendations and details that it never felt that we were without guidance throughout the process. She even helped us to put out a couple of fires and to quell some anxieties that inevitably arose along the way. A couple of weeks after we’d been married and could catch our breath, we both were able to say that hiring Mary was one of the best decisions we’d made. Even a few months out from our event, Mary has still been in touch just to say hi and see how we are. We can’t speak highly enough about working with her.

Hiring Mary as the day-of-coordinator for my daughter's wedding was the best decision we ever made. I can't imagine what the day would have been like without her. She was calm and organized and we all were able to enjoy the day because we knew Mary had every detail under control. I can't thank Mary enough for helping make my daughter's wedding day perfect!

Mary is just wonderful. My mom and I found her a month or so before the wedding, after we realized how much needs to be done that day. Mary started relieving our worries right away by resolving a communication gap with a vendor. She had experience with several of our vendors, which was really helpful. Mary was available to us when we needed her, and offered great advice that we never would have thought of. My mom and I both felt - and said, on several occasions - that she was just a lifesaver. And the wedding itself went so smoothly - it was really wonderful to be in the moment that day, and not worry about the millions of details Mary was carefully orchestrating in the meantime, or had already orchestrated leading up to the day. Mary's assistant was amazing too. My husband and I ate the food and drank the beer we had so carefully selected for our special day, and it was all thanks to Mary and her assistant. Mary is a polished professional, and a really pleasant person to be around. I highly recommend her.

Mary is honestly incredible! We hired her as our day-of-coordinator but it felt like she was so much more. From the moment we first talked to the big day she was there for anything we needed. She was extremely organized, knowledgeable and helpful. There were a lot of pieces that needed to come together to make the day perfect and she coordinated them all seamlessly. We were able to just enjoy our wedding and not worry about a thing. We knew we were in good hands and we would not have wanted anyone else to take the lead on such special day.

I was so excited when Mary asked us to write a review. I'd love to relive our wedding day. We had such a great experience and were able to focus on the fun things and allow Mary to run everything. I really had no real vision of what I wanted for my wedding, Mary took a few pictures and a pretty sparse Pinterest board of mine and was able to hire all of the right vendors and give creative guidance that was just so perfect.

We were also impressed with how she and her staff that day were so behind the scenes and then we would see them working with the vendors, helping us and our guests all at the same time. They really covered all of the bases. She made all of those months of planning so stress-free and with our busy schedules she would always make sure to accommodate us. Being out of town I thought would make this process so much harder but we found the right person to get us through!

From the moment we met Mary we felt so relieved. My husband and I were just launching our new business together and had a wedding to plan in the middle of all of that and grad school. We knew we needed someone to pull all of the pieces together and keep us on track. Mary anticipated things that we didn't even know we needed and she kept us calm throughout the whole process. I was so relaxed and so was my mom (hard to do)! I'll miss working together and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a planner that is focused on style as much as service. Thanks Mary!
