    Great Job and experience

    Mary did a great job putting on the Toys for Tots meet with Santa event at the VFW. She was available throughout the entire event. She arraigned for everything to be a great experience for the children. They were laughing, playing and having an overall good time. They met with Santa and had their fun telling all they wanted for Christmas. They had their little goodie bag each. They had their refreshments and snack available. This would be a great regular event if it could happen again next year. Wonderful and great job!!!

    Our wedding, done entirely by Mary

    Mary made our wedding perfect, her attention to detail on everything and her execution was flawless. Not only that, but Mary as herself is wonderful to work with - she actually cares about YOUR wedding, despite us having serious issues with the Otesaga and their mismanaged coordinating, Mary made the most of it for us and FOUGHT for us to make sure we had our perfect day. I would recommend Mary to anyone who plans on getting married, she is the reason we were able to just let loose and have fun, it was the best day of our lives.

    Family Renunion

    This was a small family renunion in Syracuse, 50 invitations were sent out and 44 people attended. Family came from Virginia, New Hampshire, Vestal and Unadilla New York, Massachusetts and Illinois. The location was perfect and the appetizers, buffet and deserts were excellent. This was all setup by Mary Homer from "Fairy Tale Weddings by Mary" setting up with the vendor. Nice little treat were napkins and small candy treats with the Purdy renunion name and date of this celebration. I give high praise for Mary's organization skills and coordinating this renunion from begining to end.

    Mary is without a doubt the best in the industry

    I could not recommend Mary and her team enough. She's extremely organized and professional, but also very responsive. I didn't have to worry about a single thing with her on my wedding team. She ran interference on so much nonsense that came up and, even though I hired her for only day-of, she was so helpful in the months leading up as well. If you are getting married Upstate, make sure to at least contact her, as she has so much knowledge to share.

    Family Reunion

    This was a first ever family reunion and everything came together perfectly! Mary had many small touches that made everything more meaningful for the family. From table decorations, food tables and a fabulous dessert table everything was wonderful and beautiful! A few of the small touches that Mary included were a memory table that became one of the focal points of the reunion, also a kids table to keep not just the kids but a few adults entertained as well. Could not ask for a better person to coordinate all of this!

    Mary is the best wedding planner ever!

    Mary is absolutely phenomenal; she knows her industry and does everything to ensure the bride/groom create lasting memories. I was planning a wedding out of town; and she represented me and my vision exceptionally. She is the best wedding planner you could ever hire. I had my fairy tale wedding because of Mary and her dedication to excellence! I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with her.

    I have no idea what Mary did for us and couldn't be happier

    We really have no idea what Mary did for us and I say that in the nicest way possible as everything was so smooth.

    Between the Marriott and Mary, there was nothing that we had to worry about. The biggest problem that we had was the bridal party was 18 minutes late and that is no fault of the wedding planner or the venue. All things considering, the biggest complaint that we had about the entire day was that the bride showed up to the church 18 minutes late and threw the entire timeline off and then the ceremony ran long meaning we had to push through photos quickly.

    This lateness lead into about 20 minutes where the food could have been a little bit fresher. This lead into the only 2 decisions that we had to make on the wedding day... Can we start serving food early and can we speed up the timeline by skipping sitting down and eating and going straight to dancing.

    As these were the only two decisions we had to make throughout the entire wedding that deviated from the original plan, I'd say the planning was and small corrections were a success to get us back on time.

    We don't know what other corrections were made to make everything run smoother as well. So I have no idea what she did because there was no stress or distraction for us.

    Excellent Planning!

    Mary was absolutely exceptional during our entire planning process. She came in after we had planned a lot of our wedding ourself. She picked up right where we left off and hit the ground running. She kept us on track with everything leading up to our day and especially the day of. I would recommend Mary and her services 100 times over.

    Thank you Emily for your kind words. It was truly our honor and pleasure to work with you, your family and Lucas!

    Tremendous!

    Mary and her team at Fairy Tale Weddings are outstanding!! We hired Mary for my daughter's wedding and we are so happy we did. We could not have done this without her. She added so much more than we had expected or planned. Mary is invaluable! Her knowledge, expertise and professionalism are second to none. She has a way of getting the job done, to the finest of details, while at the same time keeping everyone calm, cool and collected. We never had to worry about a thing. At all times, Mary had everything under control. We could enjoy the day knowing Mary and her team were on the job.

    Just what we needed!

    Mary and her team were exactly what I was looking for. My venue was beautiful yet we needed to bring everything in, set up decorations, food tables, etc...Mary was great! We met prior and walked through my vision, she communicated effectively and efficiently, and made changes on the fly as necessary. She was the go-to for the caterer, DJ and overall flow, which was extremely helpful to me! I am thrilled with the value she added in helping me relax and enjoy my big day!

    Day Of Coordinator

    We used Mary/ Fairy Tale weddings as our day of coordinator. She was extremely helpful, checking in on us throughout the wedding planning stages. We had a long list of things that we asked her to do day of, and everything came out perfect! Would definitely recommend!

    Fairy Tale Weddings by Mary's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words. We loved working with you and Sam on such a wonderful celebration! Our list may have been long but our time working together was priceless.

    Amazing! A HUGE help.

    Mary and her staff were amazing! Mary was great through the whole planning process and answered any questions that I had. She took care of everything the day of our wedding and I didn’t have to worry or stress about anything. I can’t imagine not having her. She had our venue set up perfectly, and the whole day went so smooth because of her and her staff. I would recommend Mary to anyone putting together a wedding or event. Thank you, Mary!!

    Wedding Planner Extraordinaire!

    Mary was amazing to work with. She jumped in to help us when our previous wedding planner moved. She was wonderful and immediately helped to pick up where our last one left us. It was amazing to have her, because her calming presence and knowledge helped us both relax on the big day. It was also easy to trust her to get everything done right, which she certainly did.

    Having Mary during our wedding planning and on our big day was an absolute joy to work with her. She is very organized and helped us tremendously. I don’t know if our wedding would have been as well orchestrated if it wasn’t for Mary. Mary went out of her way to make us happy. One great example which I can’t thank her enough for is when the venue threw out all our flowers after the wedding, and our mothers wanted flowers, never having received them. Well, Mary went to the florist days after and purchased our flowers so that our mothers had them, and drove 3 hours to get it to them! There needs to be more people like Mary in this world. This gesture truly warmed our hearts, and shows how she will go above and beyond to make sure she can make everything perfect for you. Mary was amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone!

    Mary and her amazing team handled so many small details that we would have overlooked to make our day all that much more special.

    Having both grown up our entire lives in a country setting my bride and myself opted to have a less formal, smaller and simpler Wedding that better reflected our everyday lifestyle versus a standard "Suit and Tie affair". With a guest list of only around 100 we figured we could tackle all the planning on our own. We quickly learned just how much goes into even the simplest of Wedding Planning. Between finding a venue, a DJ and a Baker we became quickly overwhelmed. With my reluctance and my Brides persistence we began to look into hiring a Wedding Planner. Mary's portfolio was absolutely beautiful, however, I was still not sure that a company that specializes in some of the most extravagant events I've seen could tackle the "country" feel we wanted for ours. As any good husband-to-be knows, the Bride knows best so we went ahead and secured Fairy Tale Weddings for our event. I must say, We we're both astounded with the attention to detail Mary and her staff gave. On top of having a professionals help arranging our vendors Mary was able to create the exact atmosphere we tried to explain to her. Many of our guests complimented how well every detail from flower arrangements to reception hall was layed out. Fairy Tale Weddings ability to adapt from a 5 star extravaganza to a simple yet elegant country festival is astonishing. We highly recommend their services.

    Mary was a tremendous help while planning my graduation party. There were so many little details she took into account that I would have completely forgotten or overlooked. I would definitely recommend getting a planner for any events, no matter how big or small!

    Mary and her team truly helped make our wedding day perfect. Everything ran smoothly and I was not bothered with any questions. Being a DIY-er I did not originally plan on having a planner for my wedding but it was SO worth it. There were so many details Mary helped me piece together before the wedding and the day of went so smooth. I didn't have to worry about anything.
