Ms. L. Sent on 11/15/2023The BEST wedding planner in all of TIME and SPACE
If you are looking for a wedding planner - look no further! Mary was the absolute greatest! I know for a FACT that I would not have had the perfect wedding day that I did without her help!
I had booked my venue (the Lodge on Echo Lake) in Feb. 2022 and found Mary in Oct. 2022 (one year before my wedding). I was looking on Instagram and found her as a recommendation. I live in NJ, she is based in NY and has done many weddings at my venue before (also in NY).
I signed up with the "little more love" package that she offered which worked great for our budget & for the wedding day as well.
This was a once-a-month zoom meeting. She was extremely flexible with my schedule to set up times to meet.
As we got closer to the wedding, the venue's coordinator was NOT great in communication and THANK GOODNESS for Mary, she followed up until we got the answers that we needed for setting up and for communicating with all of the other vendors.
All of my other vendors were very impressed with her communication skills as well and ensuring everyone was on the same page with the timeline.
She beautifully set up the centerpieces and all other decorations that I had brought and DIY'd, it really was the most beautiful day!
I could not have done it without her, I am just sad that I don't have another big event coming up to plan with her again!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Awe, Lacie thank you so much!!!! This has got to be one of my all time favorite weddings. Not only because the theme was so fun, or how much I enjoyed every meeting with you, but because you are genuinely one of the sweetest, funniest people I have ever known. It was truly, truly a wonderful partnership love and don't you worry...we are really real friends now and you're stuck with me lol! Love you both!!
XOXO

Julia H. Sent on 09/04/2023Mary Jacobs is a godsend
Having Mary Jacobs as our wedding coordinator was a godsend. My husband and I were in way over our heads, trying to plan an Adirondack wedding from New Mexico. We were overwhelmed and rudderless, not knowing what needed to be done and in what order. As soon as we had Mary on our team, things were not only manageable, but fun and exciting! Mary helped us assemble our dream team of vendors, she gave us monthly tasks to complete, was always available via email or text, and overall ensured that we were on target with literally every aspect of our wedding planning timeline. In addition, Mary really listened to our desires, and helped us plan a wedding day that was as special and unique to us as possible. On our actual wedding weekend, completely Mary took the reins, ensuring that my husband and I had absolutely no worries on our wedding weekend. When it almost downpoured during our ceremony I like to think that it was Mary's super powers that kept it at bay allowing us to get married outside; she is that good. I can honestly say that hiring Mary as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! She is organized, well connected, takes charge, and incredibly kind and caring. We love you Mary!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Annnnd now I'm crying. Oh my sweet Julia, I have no words. Thank you, so, so much for these incredibly kind words and for trusting me with your wedding my friend! I cannot begin to show my gratitude for how kind and wonderful you both were, throughout the process! Your team of pros was really blown away with the way you treated every person and I want you to know that your graciousness made my job so easy and a true joy! I am sending you both all of my love, my sincere friendship and know without a doubt, that your future together is going to be beautiful!!

I have zero hesitations recommending Mary as a wedding planner. She has all the qualities you could ask for in someone planning your wedding day or special event. She is organized, responsive, flexible, resourceful, I could go on and on!! We were planning our wedding from out of state and had never visited the venue. Luckily Mary knew so many vendors to recommend who were amazing and knew the venue so we had nothing to worry about. We loved working with her!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Elise! We were so honored to be with you and Joey through this amazing process and feel so blessed to now call you friends! We love you both and are so grateful for you!!

Mary is worth far more than her weight in gold. Mary will make sure your day is YOUR day. You feel her what you want and she will make sure of it. I could NOT have imagined planning this day or doing that day without her. She is organized, professional, loving, stern, kind…. I’ve be been to many a wedding and no one will run your wedding smoother than her! We got this wonder woman through ugly rooster cafe, all together for DELICIOUS food and (again) Wonder Woman was 11,000. Trust me people it pays to not set up and break down your own stuff. If you want hospitality to Mary with ugly rooster.Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Sarah!!! I am so, so grateful to have been with you through this journey my friends and I cannot say enough, what an absolute joy you both were! I am sending you all of my love, my prayers for your future and again, all the gratitude in the world! Love you both!!!

You need Mary Jacobs
If you’re looking for a wedding planner, there are three words you need to know:
Hire. Mary. Jacobs.
Our rehearsal and wedding were beyond perfect and that wouldn’t have been possible without Mary (and Murph). Walking into our tent for the first time and seeing everything set up exactly how we pictured it was such an incredible feeling. Literally not a single detail was missed.
To be honest, when we were first starting to plan our wedding, I kept saying “we don’t need a planner! We can manage everything ourselves! How hard can it be!” And then the day came, I looked around at guests arriving and other vendors bustling around, saw Mary fixing a chair that was about half an inch off, and said to myself “yea ok I get it. No ******* WAY I could have done this myself.”
Planning a wedding is beyond stressful. But having Mary with us throughout the whole process made things SO much easier. If we had a problem or concern, Mary was right there with an immediate solution. Any time we were freaking out about something, Mary was right there with her calming demeanor saying “guys….it’s ok. I’ve got you and I’ve got this.”
One of my groomsmen came up to me during cocktail hour and said “this is incredible. Everything is perfect. How did you manage to pull this off?” I scan the area, see Mary sewing a guest’s dress that had a little tear, pointed to her and said “I didn’t. That amazing woman over there did.”
We can’t recommend Mary enough. Because of her, we not only gained amazing memories that will last a lifetime, but we also gained a friend. Mary is just an incredible human being. Again, three words:
Hire. Mary. Jacobs.Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
And now I'm crying. Collin, I have no words my friend. You two are will always be such an incredibly important part of our lives and our story and you mean the world to us. I cannot thank you enough for what you said and I hope you know how grateful I am for you both!!
XOXO

Completely Invaluable
Mary was a wonderful help through the entire process. We worked with her for a little over a year and she kept us on track the whole time with monthyl check ins to make sur emy wife wasnt panicing. She understood exactly what we were looking for in out special day and wa sable to put us into contact with vendors that fit our needs perfectly.
My wife and I like to joke that we got her default package because everytime Mary recommended someone we would immediately click with them and say yes, this is who we are going with for venue, catering, DJ, Officiant, etc etc.
Mary has a super helpful network of connections and is clearly experienced at bringing everything together without letting the couple worry about just how much work is going on int he background.Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Jessica!!! It was my ABSOLUTE HONOR to have been trusted by you and Trevor and I will never forget you my friends! Love you to the Death Star and back!!!
XOXO

Melissa M. Sent on 03/07/2023There are truly no words
We were on the fence about getting a wedding planner - I was mostly on the "yes let's do it side" whereas our parents didn't think it was needed. When I tell you Mary Jacobs was the absolute best part of my wedding and planning, I'm not exaggerating. She was worth every. single. penny. and then some! She made sure that we were all planned for all the little things that we didn't think of. The big stuff we had down, the venue, vendors, etc. We were a pretty easy couple if I do say so myself. But when we needed her, she was there. An actual lifesaver before the wedding, during the wedding, and after. I guess a few things happened or went wrong at the wedding and I'm honestly still none-the-wiser. She handled everything and I just followed the timeline and had the time of my life. She fixed my hair when it was dying and sewed my bustle when we couldn't find how to! If you're even slightly considering a wedding planner, just do it. And make sure you go with Mary Jacobs - the best of the absolute best.Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you Melissa!!!! You two are such wonderful, generous souls and I count myself so very lucky to have been a part of your story. You do me so much honor in your beautiful words and I hope you know how much I really and truly love you both!
XOXO

Tess S. Sent on 02/15/2023Mary is the best!
My now husband and I had just moved across the country, started new and very demanding jobs, and wanted to plan our wedding within 10 months. We would not have been able to manage without Mary!
Mary founds us fantastic options for venue and vendors without overwhelming us and helped us understand the many many things that one does not know about planning weddings until you find yourself planning one! She was always willing to hear us out on quirky ideas, identify unseen impracticalities of some of these ideas, and in some case counter with even more outrageous and memorable suggestions (e.g. Mary brought out a katana for us to use during our cake cutting after we feigned that using a normal knife was not enough! A wonderful collaboration of humor indeed :) ).
Mary is direct yet patient, oodles of fun, incredibly knowledgeable, and totally sanity saving!!! Our wedding weekend was (no exaggeration) perfect! Mary crafted the perfect team for executing an unforgettable, joyous, and seemingly effortless wedding weekend that for us was completely stress free! So many of our friends who have seen many of their friends get married commented -- "you are the least stressed out couple I've ever seen!" -- that's because we had Mary. Mary we love you! Thank you for everything and more!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Oh my sweet Tess, I have no words. I cannot express how grateful I am for your incredibly kind words here and moreover, for being truly gracious and loving collaborators! You and Sean will forever be a part of who we are here and we will love you always! May you Live Long and Prosper my friends and May the Force Be With You, always.

Maria B. Sent on 08/16/2023Our day was perfect, because of Mary!
I first met with Mary when deciding to postpone our wedding during COVID. From our first conversation, I knew booking with Mary would be the right decision. Mary really understood my vision and helped to make it a reality. On wedding day, she took care of so many details, so that my groom and I didn't have to worry about a thing. We certainly couldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without all of her help!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Oh Maria thank you so, so much for this! I truly love you both and I could not have been more honored to be along for the journey with you my friend. I miss you like crazy and again, thank you so much!!!

Where do we even begin? Mary Jacobs is a DREAM! Planning our wedding was the most stressful experience of our lives, until we hired Mary. Mary took the reins with her oversized binder that contained every inch of information about what we wished for our wedding day. She listened to us, brought us down to earth at times, reassured us, and offered us a truly safe and supportive place to voice our concerns, questions, etc. She made sure we were smiling and happy throughout the entire process from initial bookings to the end of our wedding night. We could confidently head into our wedding day without any fear of anything going awry because Mary truly handles everything. Not to mention, she does it with confidence and poise. We cannot recommend her enough!! We are eternally grateful to you, Mary!!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Dan! Oh my heart. I cannot thank you enough for these incredibly kind and heartfelt words my friend. I consider myself eternally lucky to know you both and to have been given the truly wonderful gift of having you as clients. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for absolutely everything. Love you both!!!! XOXO -

Mary is incredible. I truly do not know how to put into words just how much my husband and I appreciate everything she did to make our wedding day so perfect. She went above and beyond to be there for us, even coming to dress fittings and venue visits. She is the ultimate problem solver and had an answer for every question, always. We hired her 2 years out from our wedding and became very close with her over those 2 years. Despite all the other weddings she was working, she always made time for us. We love her very much and you should absolutely hire her.Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
I love you both right back Katie! Thank you, so much for your kindness, care and love throughout the last 2 years, my friend. You two are now stuck with me as besties lol and I cannot wait for our future dinner double date! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kaitlyn G. Sent on 04/17/2022Very helpful and friendly
Our wedding was Dr Who themed and Mary is a Whovian, too, so she was a great fit for our wedding! She was happy to work with us as we planned from abroad as well as to help us with communication issues with other vendors that arose from such. Every time we talked to her she was so positive it was infectious. When we got to our ceremony room and found it a bit bland, she helped us throw together a beautiful backdrop last minute and even lent us a cute Dr Who clock for it. It was so beautiful! She kept everything moving smoothly and even reminded me not to slouch when I was getting tired during family portraits, which I really needed. There were so many things that we didn't think of, even leading up to the wedding, that she reminded us of and helped us plan. She was an invaluable part of our wedding day!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Kait!!! It was my absolute honor to be a part of your wedding and you two were truly wonderful throughout the process. I cannot thank you enough for your trust and kindness. I will never forget you both and as you move through this next stage of your adventure together, remember whatever you do, "Don't be lasagna." Love you both!! -

Mary was supportive, helpful, and incredibly organized with having to postpone our original wedding day. As our new date approached, she ensured that everything went off without a hitch, made great relationships with our vendors, and ensured that our wedding details matched all our expectations. She was a consistent and thorough presence throughout our wedding planning process, and we are grateful for her attention to detail and thoughtfulness.Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Thank you so much Kelly! I truly enjoyed working together with both of you throughout the entire process and I am so grateful to now call you my dear friends! -

Mary Jacobs is truly a Guardian Angel that puts her heart and soul into helping her couples plan and execute their dream weddings. From the moment we connected with Mary, I had a feeling of peace and contentment knowing that we were in good hands. She is extremely organized and a great communicator. As someone who prides myself on attention to detail, I was floored by Mary’s level of attentiveness to every part of the planning process. She makes sure you have everything taken care of well ahead of time so that the weeks leading up to your wedding feel like a breeze. She communicates with your vendors on your behalf and then assures you that everything is taken care of. When the wedding day arrives, Mary is there for everything to pull it all together. I was moved to tears to see how our vision for the perfect day became reality thanks to Mary’s planning and collaboration with everyone involved. She will keep your guests and wedding party in check, make sure everyone is where they need to be, and is always prepared to jump in when you need something extra (like bustling your dress and having extra batteries for your instax!). She is simply the best, and it will be the smartest decision you could make to have her as your planner!Mary Jacobs Weddings and Events's reply:
Oh my sweet Chel...I was literally in tears reading this (and the entire day of your wedding lol). I love you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you know how much joy you have both added to the crazy last year. Sending so much gratitude, hope and super squeezes to you both! XOXOX
