The Best Decision We Made – More Than a Coordinator, a Lifelong Friend
Where do we even begin? Hiring Mary as our wedding coordinator was hands-down one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. What we didn’t expect was to not only gain an exceptional professional who made the days leading up to and our day seamless and stress-free, but also a friend who genuinely cared about us, our story, and every detail of our celebration.
From the very first meeting, Mary brought warmth, enthusiasm, and such a calm, confident energy that immediately put us at ease. She listened deeply to our vision, brought it to life with so much grace and love. Behind the scenes, we know there were countless moving parts, but to us and our guests, everything felt perfectly smooth and magical.
Mary anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them, handled every curveball with a smile, and made sure we were fully present and able to enjoy every moment. On the day itself, Mary was everywhere and nowhere — everything just worked, and we had full trust that we were in the best hands.
But beyond all the logistics, timelines, and incredible execution, the real gift was the connection we formed. Mary has became such an integral part of this chapter in our lives, and by the end of it all, she wasn’t just our coordinator — she became a part of the family. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her, and our lives are richer now for knowing her.
If you’re considering hiring, stop thinking and just do it. You won’t just be getting a coordinator — you’ll gain a true advocate, a source of calm, a creative genius, and quite possibly, a lifelong friend. We are endlessly grateful.
With love and appreciation,
Sarah and Amanda Mason

We’re so incredibly grateful to have had Mary as our wedding day-of coordinator. Our traditional Nigerian wedding had a lot of moving parts—from multiple outfit changes to cultural elements and a packed schedule—and she handled it all with such grace and professionalism. Her calm energy and attention to detail kept everything flowing smoothly, even when things got hectic. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and that the day was everything we dreamed of. It was clear she genuinely cared, and her positive energy made such a difference. She was easy to communicate with, organized and arrived on time for every meeting. I would highly recommend her.

Mary was incredible. She ensured that our wedding day was executed exactly how we wanted, and anticipated needs and concerns the entire day. Mary supplied several items for our reception and beautifully coordinated the setup of our decorations for the ceremony and reception. The day-of timeline was smooth from start to finish. Beyond her professional acumen, Mary was extremely kind and easy to work with, and went out of her way to give helpful recommendations, leave special touches, and arrange logistics for us in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. There is absolutely no way that we could have made it all happen on the day of without her. If you are a DIY couple on the fence about professional coordinating assistance, Mary's services are perfect for you- you may not have any idea what you still need but she will pull it all together with sensitivity to your vision and any constraints you may have. She is a true gem.

Mary coordinated our wedding and she was fantastic. She was always very responsive with emails, calls, and in person meetings. She has a lot of experience with wedding coordination and so was able to give us ideas and point out things we hadn't thought of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a day of coordinator.

Mary was our day of coordinator for our wedding and it could not have gone so perfectly without her. During the planning process, she was always responsive and helpful with adding ideas and offering perspective to our plans. She kept up with our vision and helped us bring it to life - attending our walkthrough, rehearsal, and a few calls along the way. Day of, she was everywhere and nowhere all at once - helping the day go smoothly without needing any direction from us. She also kindly took photos throughout of us and added a lot of positive energy to the day!
Mary is so warm, organized, and willing to help you with your vision - and her expertise at her price tag can not be beat! An amazing value, thank you Mary!
