Mary Rios Events

d checklists and to-do’s to make sure I had everything ready for our big day. I thought having a micro-wedding would be a breeze, but there was still so much to do (and so many things I forgot to do), that having Mary’s help and guidance was a god send. On the big day Mary ensured everything ran smoothly and perfectly. My husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing but enjoying ourselves and our families. Even when we experienced some day of hiccups with our venue, Mary was there to right everything and keep everything flowing. Mary’s professionalism, communication, and attention to detail was exactly what we needed on our beautiful day. Her love of her craft and care of her clients was so apparent in everything she did and every interaction she had with our guests and other vendors. I can’t even imagine how our day would have gone if she was not there with us every step of the way. Mary, thank you doesn’t feel like enough for everything you did to ensure our day was as magical and perfect as we hoped it would be. We will be forever grateful for your support before, during, and even after. - Annie + Rob

She asked us a lot of questions and gave us an idea of what she would need from us in the future if we decided to work together. This was so valuable to us because it was essentially our homework and helped guide us to making more decisions that we had missed. The other planners that I met at this point did not push as far at the intro meeting to give me a sense for what it would be like to work with them up to the day-of. I had two more meetings with Becky after formally engaging with her. One was a mid-planning session where we got significantly further on setting details. The last one was prior to the wedding and tackled the tiny details (in my mind) like an inventory of what I would provide her, what the guest list should look like, final headcount, etc. These meetings were great for me to stay on track while the work and school parts of my life were going crazy, On the day-of... AMAZING. Just completely amazing. I never thought I would be a bride that would have a meltdown. Wrong. I had booked a bunch of rooms at the JW for my family and had been receiving email confirmations for their rooms and realized that I never got one for my own. I called them the morning of the wedding, only hours before I was supposed to meet my make up artist there, and found out they had booked me to check in the evening before and cancelled the room because I was a "no-show". Now the hotel was booked and I, the bride for the only wedding at the hotel that evening, had no room. I called her crying and she stepped in to calm me down and assure that she would take care of it. Once I got there and started getting my make up done, she would occasionally pop into the room to give me an update of what was going on downstairs. She shared so much of my excitement, anticipation, and joy and this was very important to me because I didn't have a bridal party. She was my girl! After the ceremony, she touched up my make up because I bawled throughout the same thing. She and her assistant bustled my dress, handed us cocktails and sent us out mingle with our guests. What a lot of people say to engaged couples about their weddings are things like: it'll all fly by, you won't remember anything, you won't be able to eat, etc. The reason why all these things happen is because you've carefully curated a group of guests that consists of the people who mean most to you. Your wedding will probably be the one time in life when all of the people you care about from family, work, school, etc are all in the same room at the same time just for you. Of course you get carried away talking to them and spending time with all of them! I remember everything. But this exactly reason is why you need Becky. She will shepherd you throughout the evening and will make sure you eat, will serve as your telephone, will get you in the right place at the right time for dances, speeches, toasts, and cake cutting. All in all, I cannot recommend Becky and the MRE team enough. In the immediate days after the wedding, I would cry thinking about them. Becky did so much for us and for that we are forever grateful. I continue to recommend them to my friends and family and encourage you to consider them as you tackle wedding planning!

t and he finally understood how amazing these ladies were with keeping in touch with vendors and most importantly keeping me from going bridezilla haha . Honestly these ladies go above and beyond! all of my family and friends were so surprised at how calm I was with everything especially on the day of our wedding, and loved that they were social with everyone! Future brides don’t hesitate on MRE these ladies are well worth it all! Thank you so much ! Jared and I truly thank y’all for an amazing and beautiful day!

she let me take the reins on somethings. Mary and her team have great relationships with multiple vendors and Mary understood my exact taste and knew the exact vendors to work with. The entire Mary Rios team is extremely organized and they give great advice. We had an exact budget and they took that budget seriously. Mary helped to cut costs in places that were not necessary. Mary would even keep my mother in the loop on the budget! Mary has an automatic email calander that sends out reminders of what payments are coming up and their amounts. Mary and her team are so cute, friendly, girly, yet powerful. If you are looking for a wedding planning team, look no further!!!!!!

a vast list of vendors to help you with your needs. We would highly recommend MRE.

dependable and helpful.Marlene definitely made the wedding planning process stress free and took care of everything we where able to relax and enjoy our wedding day.

ving across the country in the middle of planning, but Mary kept us on track. She is very professional and incredibly patient with couples that have hard times making decisions 😊 We didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Mary and her assistant handled all the decorating and time lines. She is the best choice to help plan your dream wedding!

by when we needed to have it done. Hiring her was by far the best decision I made regarding my wedding. My wedding day was the best day of my life, the whole day was smooth and stress free because of her guidance. I sat by and relaxed while she handled everything for me! Mary Rios Events is the best of the best!

fantastic in every way! The first meeting was eye opening but she really helped us to create the perfect image of what we wanted. From there, she was able to make it all happen! The weekend of the wedding she took all the stress off, and was able to let us enjoy our day, which is worth all the money in the world! I cannot thank Mary and Becky enough for their help! Being one of two grooms we were worried during each step of the way what vendors would be LGBT friendly, and Mary was more than accommodating. I will recommend her to everyone that I know, because she is not only an amazing planner/coordinator, but a wonderful person and now a considered part of our family.

ide through them with me, and kept me calm. Highly recommend her to any bride!
