Mary Kate & Co

Mary and her daughter Katharine were awesome to work with. Andrew and I could not recommend them enough. Their family work very well as a team, and we are grateful we found them. They made our wedding so PERFECT! Our venue coordinator did not help us with the planning coordination, but Mary's team (family) helped us with the planning, timeline, logistic, etc. to ensure our wedding went smoothly and perfectly. They certainly have a passion for what they do, and that is what Andrew and I loved about them. They knew Andrew and I had a set budget and were more than happy to work within our budget. Mary was almost like a mother to me; helping me choose what I wanted because I was a nervous, indecisive bride leading up to the big day. Here are some examples below to show you how fantastic they were: Mary and Katharine were always willing to visit our house and work through our timelines when it was not part of their duty; they collaborated well with Olive Garden in terms of serving, food preparation, etc. (e.g. keeping salad fresh, keeping food warm); they helped me with my flowers for both my Vietnamese wedding and American wedding when I only asked them to help me with my American wedding; they helped me come up with what type of flowers for my wedding when I had no clue what I wanted (very creative team); came directly to my house to pick up all our handmade centerpieces not once but twice and set them up how I instructed them; made me feel comfortable with our timeline by going through A to Z with me (Prelude, Wedding Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Intro, Buffet, Cake Cutting, Exit) and that's something our venue coordinator should have done but they gladly helped us with; they adjusted well when the timeline did not go as planned (e.g. they set-up unplanned appetizers from my in-laws that were not made known to us); Katharine helped me get into my corset wedding dress; Katharine also helped prepped me to walk down the ceremony aisle and lifted my dress for me due to the muddy grounds; Mary worked with Olive Garden to come up with a back-up plan in case it rained since we had an all outdoor garden wedding and were at risk for rain during Oct.-Nov. 2018; they made a pretty net to drape over our wedding cake when we did not even ask for it due to all the mosquitoes and bees from all the rain lately; they even provided a set of fruits and treat tray for me and my bridesmaids when that should have been my venue's job to provide! There is just so much that I cannot say enough about this team. We can honestly say that they became our good friends, and we plan to continue to stay in touch with them. If you don't ask this team to help you with your wedding, then I would say you may miss out! Andrew and I still rave about their team to all our friends and family, about how perfect they made our wedding. We hope this review will help the many upcoming brides!

There could not possibly be better mother-daughter collaboration. We meet at a bridal show and Kate made every accommodation to stay in contact with us, she meet us multiple times for invitations and to pick the perfect fit. They worked with us for hours on the details and nuances of the colors. Than when all of our planning when to shambles the first time they agreed and cordinated with me to do all decorations and be the planners it was a termendous relief, we had a few hiccups on the way but everything was so pleasent and communication was good. They did a phenominal job with the florals and even showed me pictures along the way when they pciked them out i really felt included. They found us a last minute venue with less than 50 days till our wedding and really made us feel like family, i have a few friends who have been enagaged since our wedding and could not recommend them enough the night before mary made us feel so prepared and confident in her confidence. than the day of we were missing a small aunt bouquet and they made it within seconds. We were so impressed but more than anything appreciative. They bring a lot of experience to a crazy time.

Mary and Katharine were the absolute best at understanding my vision and making it happen! We used them for planning, invitations, signage (calligraphy), AND our flowers. The only thing I would change is hiring them sooner! The invitations were beautiful and we loved being able to customize everything about them! Mary picked the most beautiful flowers for me and was able to build a vision we had for the church altar! We could go on and on about how much we enjoyed their company and loved their work! We plan to use them for our future life events!

Mary truly went above and beyond to help us both prep and run the wedding! We only hired her for a day-of coordinator, which I’m so thankful for as I didn’t want my mom worrying about many details on the day of and Mary was right there to swoop and solve on the problems of us! As I said, although we only hired her for the day-of, she Went out of her way to answer 100% of our questions months and months beforehand, and she even went with us to floral arrangement meetings etc. Mary really loves what she does, and it shows, because she constantly did things that I know for a fact other coordinators wouldn’t do!! Hire her now!

I absolutely loved working with Mary and Katharine! My wedding was so beautiful because of them. I highly recommend them. I hired them to do flowers for my wedding, but let me tell you, they did beyond that. This mother daughter duo is so talented and diverse in what they can do for you! My initial meeting was with Mary, and she and Katharine were so thorough on discussing with me exactly what I wanted. They checked up on me throughout my whole wedding planning process and were so helpful and PERSONABLE. Beyond their floral duties, Mary brought to my attention wedding details that I didn't think of and I'm so thankful for that. I even panicked last minute because I forgot that I wanted a welcome entrance sign, and Katharine came to the rescue! You wouldn't be disappointed in hiring them. I am so glad I found them!

Mary was the most organized, down to earth professional, I have ever dealt with. She did everything that she said she would do and everything went so smoothly. You only have to tell her once, she remembers and makes sure it gets done, she is the calmest person under pressure I have ever dealt with. I have experience in event planning and have worked with many event planners, Mary by far is the best. Just have a conversation with her and she will be everything you want, from finding what you need for your event to staying in budget. Thanks to Mary my daughter had one of the classiest, perfect weddings ever, even when the florets messed up and put flowers my daughter specifically did not want, Mary had scissors and was calmly, with out anyone noticing cutting them out of the table bouquets. Just amazing!

Mary was FANTASTIC. Our big day went smoothly and perfectly without a single hitch. Mary has great recommendations for vendors when we got stuck, anticipated things we did not even think about, and was already extremely knowledgeable about our Jewish wedding. Absolutely love her and have already recommended her to others!

Mary was THE BEST to work with!!! I honestly felt like she truly cared how my wedding turned out! She was beyond helpful! She truly listened to all the things that were important to me and coordinated everything so well! She is extremely organized and resourceful! Really trusted her with my big day and she definitely delivered!
