We're Mary
Elizabeth Events
To put it simply, we love planning weddings. There's something magical about taking every little detail of such an important occasion and bringing them together to create lifelong memories for our couples and their families.
​
Based in beautiful Charlottesville, we are an experienced wedding and event planner team dedicated to making your dream wedding come to life. We don't want any couple (or their families) to have the stress of managing all of the event details on the wedding day. After all, the guests of honor should be enjoying every moment!
We met while working with donor programs at UVA, and are so excited to continue to be an event planning team with 50+ weddings planned.
The Head & The Heart
Wedding planning is a blend of meticulous details and glorious love. There is nothing more fulfilling than to weave together the emotions, design, and logistics to create the cherished memory of a wedding. I am so thankful for each and every couple who has chosen us to be a part of their journey.
