Mary is awesome!

Mary was the greatest. We chose her without even knowing we had met her before while she was working a friends wedding. Mary was exactly what we needed the entire time. She kept everyone on schedule and took great care of my wife and I throughout the entire day. 10/10!

Best decision ever

You should not have a wedding without hiring Mary and her team. From the time we met with Mary a year and a half before our wedding, I didn’t have to stress about anything once. She put together a design plan, handled most of the decor, made sure everyone knew what they were doing on the day of, and was so, so much fun to work with. I really could not recommend her more. We even woke up the morning after the wedding to pictures that she had taken all throughout the day, and it was so fun to be able to see photos right away. Mary really felt like more of a friend by the end of the wedding than a planner. I got to fully enjoy the whole planning process and my wedding day because I knew she had everything so perfectly handled. I’ll highly encourage all my family and friends to hire her just so I could work with her again!

Best Day of Coordinators!

We are SO glad we chose Pure Events for our very special day! Mary, Abby, and Rose were fabulous and through their combined expertise they ensured that the entire experience was efficient and seamless (and that is saying something for a wedding!). From recommending trusted vendors, walking us step-by-step, minute by minute through the timeline, to all of the day-of coordination, the Pure Events team were amazing and allowed us to have such a relaxing and fun wedding day! As an interracial LGBTQIA+ couple, we were so excited to find a day-of coordinator who was so respectful, inclusive, welcoming, and open to the flexibility of how we wanted our day to look. Abby and Rose were so kind and very on top of it throughout the entire day; always attending to everyone’s needs and intercepting things before they could become issues. Even when an issue arose on the day, Abby entirely handled it and then let us know at an appropriate later time , which allowed us to not worry or stress about the situation. The entire team was very professional, communicative, intentional, and efficient throughout our work together. We cannot recommend this business enough, and we are both so grateful to Pure Events for all of their work and recommend them wholeheartedly!
