planning and design for every aspect of your wedding weekend
Full-Service Wedding Planning
We begin by getting to know you as a couple, and take your vision and values to thoughtfully curate an event (or full weekend) that is distinctively yours. We'll hand-select top vendors to bring together an elegant color palette, tasteful décor, and personalized details. We'll do all the sourcing, and then share the best options for you to pick from. Our process includes the creation of timelines and layouts, budget management, contract negotiation, and vendor coordination. Your wedding weekend will be complete with flawless event execution for your joyful, romantic celebration.
Available for wedding day or wedding weekend services with 2 additional events, such as the rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch.
You'll have an expert partner with you through the planning & design process
Partial- Service Wedding Planning
Partial-service planning is a delightful option for couples who are excited to take the lead for the wedding planning process, but they're looking for expert industry guidance throughout the way. We'll be hand-in-hand throughout the process, starting with a vision and details call. From there we'll create an itemized budget outline and Mary Elizabeth Events will provide a personalized vendor list for you. We'll be with you every step of the way as a planning partner.
You and your fiancé get the excitement of planning, without the stress of figuring it out alone. Consider us your personal wedding consultants!

Wedding Coordination
No event is complete without a coordinator, and your wedding is no different!
6 weeks before your wedding, you can hand the reins over to Mary Elizabeth Events. We'll make sure that you and your VIPs get to enjoy the day to the fullest. Our real collaboration begins with a venue walkthrough and details meeting, where we'll make sure every moment is accounted for and create your comprehensive wedding day timeline. Prior to that, you and your fiancé will have access to our collaborative wedding drive full of planning resources.
Wedding coordination services are available beginning 13 months from your wedding date.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
Answer:
Start by thinking about how you want to work with your planner. Do you want someone to take the reins and handle design creation and vendor selection on your behalf? If so, you'd like full-service planning. Do you have the time and excitement to plan the wedding yourselves? If so, wedding coordination will allow you to hand off the logistics management a month before the wedding, so you two can enjoy the celebration you've spent months planning. If you want to be involved in the planning process but also want industry insight and guidance to elevate your wedding, partial planning is the best of both worlds.
Which package is best for me?
Question:
Answer:
Yes! This looks a little different for all clients. For full-service, Mary Elizabeth Events is reaching out to top vendors on your behalf, with you making final selections. For partial planning, you'll receive a custom recommended vendor list for your style and budget. For wedding coordination clients, vendor recommendations are on-demand. Just ask!
Do you provide vendor recommendations?
Question:
Answer:
A venue coordinator is at your wedding on behalf of the venue, but your wedding planner is there on your behalf. The venue coordinator likely isn't pinning the boutonnieres on your groomsmen, working with the photographer to edit the timeline when hair & makeup runs behind schedule, or making sure your great aunt found her seat in the front row. Venue coordinators are great to have to ensure the venue provides everything you need for your day (and we love working with them!), but our roles are inherently different.
My venue has a venue coordinator. How are you different?
Question:
Answer:
Of course! In fact, we plan to be at every wedding rehearsal. It's so important for the Mary Elizabeth Events team to meet your wedding VIPs, coordinate with your celebrant, and have a Plan A and a Plan B for your ceremony processional, recessional, and setup. Depending on how experienced your celebrant is, we can run your entire rehearsal or step back and share guidance as needed.
Can you help with the rehearsal?
