Bringing It Together Events

d for us. Mary was there for us in every way. She was always professional and organized but, even more importantly, she was tender and patient when needed, and fun-loving when appropriate. She was consistently available to answer the multitude of questions we had for her in the planning stages of the wedding and was happy to meet with us when flew in from out of state to visit the venue. She was eager to find creative solutions for the unique ideas we wanted for both the wedding and the reception. Mary was calm throughout the entire events - she also helped with the rehearsal dinner - and kept the wedding day going as scheduled, doing a beautiful job of coordinating all of the vendors. The entire weekend brings back such warm, happy memories. I can't imagine how we would have ever been able to make it happen without Mary and her Bringing It Together staff. We were in very good, knowledgeable, stressfree hands.

w suggested contacting Mary because we were getting so overwhelmed. The moment I spoke to Mary, I knew I made the right decision. She knew everything there is to know about planning a wedding and asked questions about details I didn’t even know to think of. My favorite thing about having Mary was that I could call her with the craziest, most elaborate ideas and she would say, “ok. We can make it happen!” She made sure my wedding was absolutely perfect. Because of Mary and Bringing It Together, my wedding planning experience was stress free. Best of all, I didn’t have to think about anything on my big day. She made my dream wedding come true and I got to enjoy every single bit of it without a care in the world! You would be silly not to use Bringing It Together to help plan your special day.

y husband and I are so glad we chose Briging It Together Events for our planning and coordinating needs!

th and I have recommended her team to many of my friends.

y issues as she took care of everything! Hands down would recommend her to everyone and anyone. I had issues with vendors getting back and helping with a special part of our day and Mary was able to pull it all together. She is the sweetest and will make you and your family feel at ease.

skills, and team of vendors. The reason my husband and I enjoyed our big day so much was because of her. Everything was perfect, and if there were any hiccups, I didn't know about them because she handled it. Thanks Mary! <3

loved and cherished the entire weekend, and Mary made that happen ten times over. It was the perfect day – filled with love and joy, and not a drop of worry or stress – all thanks to Mary and her team. Planning everything remotely – and with critical members of the wedding party in three different places - I was worried about making everyone’s voice heard. Mary was able to blend all of our ideas into a cohesive and gorgeous vision, and managed the entire thing with warmth, efficiency, and patience (lots of patience!). I had no idea how many moving parts there were going to be in putting together our ideal day, but Mary and her team managed everything from the florists, to the photographers, musicians, and a dozen other vendors, from the day we booked them to the big day itself. Just about the time that I would start to feel worried or nervous about something, I would get a call from Mary updating me on exactly what was happening, and next steps for each detail. Throughout the entire process, my mother, mother-in-law, and I constantly commented on how blessed we were to have someone like Mary to rely upon. We knew that no matter what needed to happen, she was going to not only take care of it, but take care of it at the highest caliber possible, and we could enjoy the entire process without worry. The final result was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and we received so many comments and compliments on how smoothly everything went, how perfectly things were timed, how stunning the venue was, and how loved everyone felt. It was the celebration of love and marriage we had dreamed of, and we can’t thank Mary and her entire team enough for Bringing It (all) Together.

rking full time, and planning a wedding hours away. We are so grateful for Bringing It Together for their expertise in the wedding biz, as well as, making our day the best, and one full of wonderful memories! You won't regret having them by your side through your wedding planning and big day!

edding day where we could simply show up, able to fully immerse ourselves in cherishing every moment of our happiest day. That was absolutely what we received, and our day was even more special because of that. Whether you are in search of minimal assistance planning or complete planning, Bringing it Together is your answer. These ladies are unrivaled in their impeccable organizational, design, and communication skills. Never once did I have to worry about how or if something would be addressed because I knew every step would be completed with perfection. Mary was always a simple e-mail, phone call, or text away, and she always had the answers I needed. Deadlines for decisions and my own tasks were completely reasonable and greatly appreciated. I knew the very first minute I met Mary that I would love working with her, and I absolutely did. While she was technically our wedding planner, she also became a friend, like that favorite aunt that every girl secretly adores the most! I so dearly enjoyed our every visit, which in turn allowed me to enjoy the wedding planning process in a way I had never before thought possible. My now-husband and I are full of gratitude for the amazing work that Mary and her team did for us. We are ever so thankful and we highly recommend Bringing it Together!

. I am SO glad I hired her for our wedding!

ding being at a brand new venue, but Mary always assisted me with any questions or concerns I ran into with the planning process. She was always quick to respond to me and handled everything in a professional manner. If I had any questions regarding which vendors to use, she always had helpful insights and pointed me in the right direction. Our wedding day was so seamless and beautiful, and her team did a great job of coordinating the day, it couldn't have been any better. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Bringing It Together Events! They will take good care of you!

ut the wedding, and a large part of that is because of Mary. If anything went wrong, or wasn't what we had talked about, she dealt with it, which allowed me to be fully present on our wedding day. It was a stress free day and I am eternally grateful for everyone at Bringing it Together!

it come to life. She worked with vendors from Dallas to Chicago to Nashville to make our wedding day happen! There is no task to much for her. She is patient and understanding but also encourages you to make decisions that are in your best interests. The vendors love working with her. She is so easy to spend those countless planning hours with. She is organized with timelines and to do lists that help you keep it all together. Best money we spent! You won’t regret using bringing it together!

rstood what I was envisioning for my wedding and what I was looking for in a planner. I planned a wedding at Big Cedar Lodge from Texas, so there were many logistics to plan from afar. Mary was there for everything I needed--advice about vendors, coordinating meetings when I was able to visit, communicating with all of the vendors to share details and timeline, and she helped to keep me on track with planning. The day of the wedding, she was prepared for every little hiccup there was! Our wedding day went so smoothly, and I believe that is because of Mary and her team. Everyone involved--the bridal party, our parents, and even extended family--commented on how great Mary was! You will not regret choosing Mary and the Bringing It Together team!

king to a best friend. Everything I explained to her that I envisioned for my wedding she made come to life. Along the way she knew exactly what to say to help relieve stress and make wedding planning an enjoyable experience. I can honestly say that there was never a time that I felt overwhelmed, and that was because of her! Mary brings so much expertise to the table that she was able to plan my wedding without leaving a single detail out. My wedding was all that I had ever hoped for and more! Mary and I spent countless hours on the phone, since I currently was out of state. Anytime of day that I would call she would answer. I would ask her question after question, and still she helped me remain calm and she would listen. Our wedding was at Big Cedar, and let me tell you it was absolutely stunning!!! Mary had recommended this venue and let me tell you, it was breathtaking! During our rehearsal at Big Cedar Mary made the magic happen. She ran the rehearsal so efficiently, therefore the wedding was IMPECCABLE! Throughout the morning of my wedding I had the wonderful experience of getting ready in the Bridal Suite at Big Cedar. The time that I spent with my Bridesmaids was all the more special because of the Bridal Suite atmosphere. (Again, Mary's suggestion) I am so thankful that I chose Big Cedar as my venue simply because of the beauty that it offers. Views for days, accompanied by magnificent landscaping and gardens, are reason enough to have your wedding here. Christine Bonnivier was my photographer. (recommended by Mary) Her exquisite talent allowed my husband and I to relive the beauty of our special day at Big Cedar. Rest assured you can leave it up to Mary and her team to accomplish your goals in a timely, professional manner. She is a "go-getter" and nothing is out of reach with her drive and creativity. My wedding day was literally the best day of my life thanks to Mary. I could keep going on and on, you’ll just have to trust me! Bringing it Together Events will bring your wedding to life in exact detail! Mary you are amazing and I can’t thank you enough for helping our wedding dreams come true!!!!! I highly recommend Mary!!!!

Bringing It Together! We just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary in April and we still wish we could go back and relive that day. Hiring Mary was hands-down the best decision we made in our wedding planning process!

s the place to go. Mary, the owner, is such a joy to work with! The love she has for her work is evident every time you meet with her. As I did most of my wedding planning from afar, Mary was our lifesaver. She had the greatest vendor recommendations, advice, and support to insure that the planning process was both smooth and fun! She always had an open line of communication and was willing to help in whatever way possible. She coordinated our wedding day perfectly and made sure that it was exactly what we wanted. Our wedding party and guests were impressed with how organized and timely our day was, allowing our families and friends to simply enjoy! I truly loved the wedding planning process and I believe it was because of Mary's guidance! I give Bringing it Together Events my highest recommendation and I'm so thankful they were a part of our big day!

d knowledgeable of not only which vendors to use, but every detail, small and large, that was involved in putting together my son's wedding. She understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding, and graciously gave suggestions to make it more beautiful than we could have dreamed of. It was an enormous relief to be able to trust her completely and to be able to relax and enjoy the wedding day, knowing that she had everything under control. The result was an absolutely perfect wedding and reception! What a blessing to be able to work with someone who started out as a complete stranger, but turned out to be a wonderful friend. Thank you, Mary!

the wedding were. Mary knows TONS of wonderful vendors, several of which we used. I think one of our favorite things of having Mary with us is that she really did "bring it all together" and she made us feel like everything would work out just fine. In fact, there were some misc. goofs during our wedding, one of which was my husband and I not picking out songs for father/daughter and mother/son dances, and Mary had us covered in minutes! Mary is organized, professional, creative, and resourceful. I am so glad that we were able to have her help plan our wedding and I would strongly recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!

almost all details of my special day. I couldn't have asked for a more smoothe, stress- free process! Mary and her team helped pull together all the behind the scenes details and I was so thankful for her. I was blessed to simply show up, enjoy every minute of the weekend with friends and family, and return home at the end of the weekend. That truly wouldn't have been possible without Mary and her girls!

were able to enjoy every second of the wedding because of her and her team. Mary was always professional and available to answer any question we had. She was a delight to work with and is very well respected in the industry. She and her team worked well will all our vendors. Our vendors were excited when we told them we had hired Mary. They kept saying how well she handles everything and has a plan for all that could ever come up. She did not disappoint! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding planner and crew! Thank you, Mary and Kayleigh! We appreciate everything you did to ensure our day was just as we dreamed it would be!!!

ne happy, which is not easy in the wedding business. Whether it is the engaged couple, their families, or the other wedding vendors, Mary and her staff ensure that the event goes smoothly. The last thing a bride wants to do during her wedding is answer a question about how a table is set up or where a caterer should set up. That is why you should hire a coordinator and no one does it better than Bringing It Together Events. Their expertise and experience is priceless and you won't regret inviting them on the journey to your special day.

fair share of weddings and I can always tell when it is a “Mary Douglas wedding” because the quality of the event is unmatched. Their attention to detail and their spirit make magic happen every time, a value that is truly priceless. I know their hearts and I can always count on them to do whatever it takes to make the client happy. Bringing It Together Events is an investment in the success of your wedding and is guaranteed to always pay off in the end.

sure things went smoothly. It was so nice having her on hand on the wedding day and her support leading up to it!

nks to their help, support and coordination with the site and vendors. I took Mary's recommendation when selecting the florist, make-up, linens and DJ vendors. Was very happy with florist and linens but make-up and DJ could have been better. All-up, I would use Mary for the day of support again.

smoothly.

y was there executing a perfect event and I was able to enjoy the special time with our daughter. We hired Mary as soon as our daughter got engaged and she referred us to excellent venues and vendors and guided us through the whole maze of planning a wedding. I have heard so many people talking about how stressful it was planning a wedding, but we definitely did NOT have that experience with Mary. We had so much fun throughout the whole experience!! I would definitely recommend Mary and Bring it Together!

nd a 30 person wedding party along with about 200 guests. Mary was so amazing and shepherded us through every step. She helped calm my fears and when people asked me if wedding planning was stressful all I could think was "of course not, I have Mary!" Mary was a professional that got things done, but was kind and thoughtful like a friend. By far, this was the best money I spent on the wedding. Mary kept me stress free, got me vendor discounts with her referrals, saved money every step with her creativity, and even took all my gifts home and my dress in her car when both sets of parents left early. Than ks a million Mary! I couldn't have done it without you!

he rehearsal on Friday and cleaned up after the wedding. She had helpers for a coat check and was extremely reasonable. We did this long distance and she was a lifesaver. Highly recommend her!

tell you how much stress was relieved knowing there was someone else handling all the logistics! In our meetings with Mary before the wedding, she asked questions we hadn't even thought of and was incredibly supportive of our outside-the-box ideas. I was able to really enjoy the day, trusting that Mary had it handled and would let us know where we needed to be. She and her gals are the epitome of grace under pressure! If you are questioning whether you really need a wedding planner, trust me...you want Mary. She will make sure you look back on your wedding day and have only fond memories of how well everything went!

rs. Megan created an incredibly detailed timeline for my wedding day & executed the event flawlessly. They completely coordinated the church and reception set up and ran both events perfectly. They are both sweet, incredibly organized & proactive to ensure that everything gets done perfectly. I interviewed several wedding planners & it was an easy choice for me to choose Bringing it Together Events. After working with them, it is a no brainer to go with them! I recommend them HIGHLY to anyone thinking of a wedding planner.

r, I realized that I needed help with a lot of details that I didn't want to have to mess with, I realized that I didn't want to spend my wedding day or have my friends and family setting up and cleaning up, and I also didn't want to have to deal with vendors and the wedding day timeline the week of the wedding. This allowed for my wedding day and the entire planning process to be stress and worry free, and I was able to spend more quality time with family members and friends that were in town for the wedding. Mary Douglas is an expert with wedding planning, and she has a well trained team to help assist her. They didn't miss one detail. I would highly recommend Bringing it Together for your wedding planning!

g it together" and they did just that. Mary met with me on multiple occasions over the course of my wedding planning and helped brainstorm on how to make my wedding day perfect. They eased the stress of planning out my wedding day and took over all the little details that otherwise would have fallen to me or my family. My wedding ran smoothly and beautiful and I know it was all thanks to the hard work of the Bringing it Together staff. Thanks for Everything! The Angelakos'

acted Bringing it Together and talked to Mary she was like a different person. Mary instantly lowered our stress. She knew all the vendors we had chosen on a first name basis and by before my mom talked to Mary a second time she had already contacted all of them. From the moment we hired her we were constantly in contact either via e-mail or phone. Plus we met with her multiple times in person. She made sure all of our vendors were on the same page with us and what we were expecting. She also was a huge support system at the rehearsal and ceremony. I felt like Mary wanted my wedding day to be just as perfect as I did and I would highly recommend her and Bringing it Together. There is no way my mom and I could have really enjoyed my wedding without Mary and her team at Bringing it Together.

expectations. My husband and I (parents too) were clueless when it came to things like scheduling the day, cutting the cake, how to walk down the aisle...Mary was by my side the entire way. She even helped bussel my wedding dress at the reception! Having a destination wedding was scary but she was always available to talk or text. She put up with all of my emails and was able make the dream wedding in my head a reality. The day could not have gone better!

was so thankful to have them there on my wedding day. I chose to do a lot of DIY things and may not have needed them as much throughout the planning process but definitely needed them the day of and would highly recommend them for that purpose. Despite saying this, the cost of the package was very reasonable. They were available to meet when needed. Sometimes I felt like I had to repeat myself and my ideas a few times. They made my wedding/reception absolutely like I envisioned but for some reason, were unable to use some of the pieces I had made and collected. I would still highly recommend Bringing It Together!

f the price of everyone we contacted but yet had great reviews from everyone we talked to. She met with us 3 times before the wedding, including coming to the venue to scope things out, even though she was only hired for the weekend of. She also contacted all my vendors and made sure they knew when to be there and what was expected. She helped the whole day run so smoothly. I'm not sure what we would have done without her!
