We chose All Events Realized for white drapes rental and set-up for our wedding at The Red Barn at Hampshire College in October.
Overall, Mary Ann was very pleasant to work with,...
and has a lot of experience working at The Red Barn venue. The drapes were absolutely beautiful and made the barn certainly feel like a wedding venue.
The only thing I would note is that the communication was a little bit difficult at times. I would recommend reaching out to Mary Ann via text message as opposed to emailing, as I had sent an email that went unanswered for several days before reaching out via text message with an almost immediate response back. Also, the written responses via text message aren't always in complete sentences which at times took a little bit of time to figure out what was being said.
All events realized turned the barn where we held our reception, into a something truly extraordinary. Our jaw’s dropped when we walked into the barn on the morning of our wedding ...
day. We knew we wanted drapes, but we had no idea the effect that they would have on the space. You’re doing it wrong if you’re not using all events realized for your big day!
Mary Ann is a sweetheart. She works really hard to make your vision come to life. She did the drapes in the Red Barn at Hampshire College and they were just so dreamy. We had to po...
stpone our Massachusetts wedding and Mary Ann actually moved from MA to North Carolina between our original date and our new date. Despite that, she honored our contract and made sure we got everything we wanted! She is incredibly communicative and helped me problem solve any decoration issue we were having. She even taught me how to make floral centerpieces and did all the leg work in finding flowers for our day. We enjoyed working with her!
First I just want to say how amazing Mary Ann is to work with. She is so responsive and willing to change anything at the last minute. The way she decorated my venue, it was everyt...
hing I could of asked for. My original wedding date was November 2020, but due to COVID, needed to be changed to July 2021. The flowers needed to be changed, due to what was in season, and Mary Ann was there every step of the way. I am honestly not a flower person and I gave her a few colors to work with and she hit it out of the park. The bouquets were beautiful and even better than I imagined. We used a lot of greenery and she even left us extra incase we wanted to add more anywhere else. She was there early for set up and even asked me if there was anything I didn't like or wanted to change. So so happy with how everything turned out, thanks Mary Ann!!
We hired Mary Ann to do all of our flowers including bouquets and centerpieces and they turned out absolutely beautiful!! She showed up early the day of the wedding to make sure ev...
erything was perfect. Can’t thank her enough!
Our flowers we so beautiful! Mary ann arrived early and made sure everything was perfect!
I absolutely LOVED working with Mary Ann for my wedding. I'm not a big Pinterest person, and didn't really have a strong vision for my wedding day. Mary Ann was able to take my vag...
ue descriptions and limited photographs and create florals that were even better than I could have dreamed! I was blown away by the work she did, and we have had so many guests compliment us on the flowers! My only regret is that we didn't have the space to take any home with us.
Mary Ann was also very respectful of working within my budget. She proposed ways in which we could cut the price down by repurposing the ceremony flowers. She also offered super affordable prices for table numbers, seating charts, candles, etc., of which we took advantage.
On top of all that, Mary Ann is incredibly sweet, kind, and responsive. As just one example, Mary Ann mailed us a wedding gift that had been left behind at the venue free of charge. We really appreciated that!
Overall, if you chose Mary Ann, you won't regret it!
All Events Realized provides both planning and floral services, but we hired Mary Ann solely as a florist. Mary Ann works regularly at our venue (The Red Barn), which meant that sh...
e already knew what works well in the space.
Mary Ann was incredibly accommodating on our limited budget and worked with us to analyze a myriad of pictures to pinpoint exactly what my wife and I -- both of whom knew nothing about flowers -- wanted in our bouquets/bouts/centerpieces. This was a real relief coming from other interviews with florists who charged significantly more and were impatient with our lack of knowledge about specific styles and flower types. Mary Ann was very creative in coming up with ideas to construct the look we wanted without compromising.
Day-of, most of the flowers were beautiful. Our one thing to note is that my wife wanted a very specific type of bout that Mary Ann said she could make (using feathers) and it did not come out perfectly, but she did get it looking good in the end. Mary Ann is overall very talented! We recommend Mary Ann and would say to future couples that it is best to over-communicate and be crystal-clear on what is important to you!
MARY ANN IS A LITERAL SAINT. She is so passionate about what she does and it shows. When she dropped off our flowers, we all thought the first bouquet into our room was mine (the b...
ride's) but it was a bridesmaid's bouquet!! Absolutely stunning and incredible creative.
Mary Ann was fantastic. She did our centerpieces, flowers and decorations for our wedding and it was much more than I had hoped for. Everything was beautiful and perfect. She check...
ed in regularly leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was as we wanted it. Professional and flexible! Would highly recommend.
Mary Ann- I love you. I will tell you, whoever you book I'm sure you'll have a nice wedding. BUT. If you book Mary Ann, she will take your idea for your wedding, and she will make ...
it better than anything you dream up. She knows what works, what doesn't work, she works within your budget, she finds you deals and has contacts to help you. She can do as much or as little as you want. Day of coordinator? She'll do it. Uplighting? Done. Candles? Done. Cake flowers? Big bouquets? Draping? People say guests don't remember flowers. My guests do. Everything from my Church ceremony to our large ballroom venue was PERFECTION. I already miss meeting with you at the coffee shop and pouring over Pinterest for our wedding. Book Mary Ann, or at the very least, book a consult- it won't cost you anything and you'll feel INSTANTLY at ease for your big day. She will be your most enthusiastic, passionate cheerleader for your vision- and luckily, she has the creativity, knowledge, and expertise to back it up.
I am struggling to write a review that could even begin to describe how amazing Mary Ann is! I met her at a bridal show, where I had no intention of looking for a wedding planner a...
t, but her booth and her energy drew me in immediately. I made one comment about how I love sunflowers and pumpkins, and she immediately described 3 wonderful center pieces that were almost exactly what I was thinking about.
We ended up using her as a florist and not a wedding planner, but if I could go back, I would absolutely use her for both. Not only were her flowers gorgeous (I wish I could upload pictures), but she went above and beyond with giving us advice on talking with our other vendors/our venue, and made several recommendations of potential vendors (makeup artists, djs, etc.) along the way. I never hesitated to reach out to her with questions, because she was so responsive, and I never felt like I was bothering her.
The day of the wedding she was AWESOME! We ended up paying her to set up prior to the event, and she went above an beyond what I would have ever imagined. We had 3 different center pieces, 2 of which we rented from her, and 1 of which I purchased the braise pumpkins for, and she pulled together beautifully. We got so many complements on how great everything looked, and my response was "I had nothing to do with it, it was all Mary Ann".
I tell everyone and anyone how great she is, and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or any other big event. She is creative, warm, and easy to work with and I would use her again any day. She was totally worth the cost for us!
Mary Ann is the absolute best! She did beautiful fabric draping over old barn beams for our reception, provided odds and ends decorations and she also handled our flowers. Going wi...
th her was the best decision we made in our whole wedding planning process. The flowers absolutely stunning and she worked so hard on them. When I saw them they totally blew all expectations out of the water, they were STUNNING. She was also there in the beginning and end of the wedding working with the venue staff to ensure that the flowers went off without a hitch. If you are considering using Mary Ann and All Events Realized, DO IT she is superb to ensure that you have the wedding of your dreams and she is such a delight to work with.
I was married just a few short weeks and am still receiving many compliments about the amazing work Mary Ann did! Going into the wedding planning process I felt a bit overwhelmed a...
nd knew that I could use some professional help. After seeing Mary Ann's work at a friend's wedding I knew I wanted to reach out to her. Within the first half hour of conversation with Mary Ann, I felt like she knew me and was fully invested in my wedding. Mary Ann provided excellent and budget friendly recommendations and offered creative ideas of ways to elevate aspects of the day. The support leading up to the day - from answering last minute questions to the set up of the actual room - she had me totally covered. It is very obvious that Mary Ann loves what she does and takes immense pride in her work, and the results show this! Working with Mary Ann gave me a piece of mind knowing that she had my best interest at heart. Simply put, working with her was the best decision I had made in the wedding planning process. A million thank you's Mary Ann!
MaryAnn from All Events Realized relieved a lot of stress off of my shoulders. She was very creative, friendly and worked with all of my other vendors. She made the reception hall ...

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the beauty, creativity, and design of our wedding from Mary Ann, who coordinated the whole affair from start to finish! She fleshed out ou...
r vision and style and, more importantly, helped us stay on budget. That was no small task, considering we had a very large wedding, and a very small budget! We were particularly impressed with her design - she transformed a rather drab banquet room into a beautifully lit, chic reception hall abounding with lovely touches! We also loved her flower arrangements; they were amazingly detailed, and perfectly fit our style. Mary Ann was a master of organization, so that the day itself ran smoothly and was stress-free for all of us. We are still getting raving compliments about the wonderful day!
MaryAnn is amazing!
She did my best friends wedding re-vows and she made this place look amazing. She does parties at his house and you'd think you died and went to heaven.
...
She goes over and above what anyone does in the biz, with her network, there is nothing she cannot build, borrow or steal.
Anyone who wants the best event of their life, call MaryAnn Dennis and you will not be disappointed.
I had seen Mary Ann's work at a few different weddings and was in awe of how amazing everything always looked. When it came time for my own wedding bouquet I knew that I needed to ...
go to her. I had an idea of what I wanted but no "real clue" of what I wanted! And Mary Ann listened to what I was looking for and then delivered the absolutely perfect bouquet! It was more perfect than I had ever imagined it could be. She really took the time to hear what I wanted and I never felt rushed. I loved her excitement about working with me on my special day and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for an event planner and /or someone to handle their floral / decor.
