Charles, Groom

“My husband and I are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Mary Guido and her team when planning our wedding. Planning such a large event for ourselves was clearly outside of our comfort zone, but Mary and company quickly put us at ease with their expertise, professionalism, and strong critical thinking skills. They asked the important questions we hadn't even thought of, and were the seamless link between the venue staff, caterers, photographer, DJ, and our family and guests. They took so many worries and details off our plates. We couldn't have enjoyed such a wonderful day without Mary, her team, and their many contributions.”

Anne, Sister of the Bride and Maid of Honor

“Mary's professionalism and calm demeanor were an asset to our family the day of the wedding. Having Mary to assist with the day of coordination, allowed my family to enjoy the special moments of the day without worrying about logistics and last minute changes. Her event planning expertise allowed her to identify potential problems and implement immediate solutions throughout the day. We are so thankful for Mary and highly recommend her services to anyone.”

Ray, Father of the Bride

“Mary’s talents as an event planner and speechwriter were appreciated while planning and celebrating our daughter’s wedding. Her speechwriting expertise was especially helpful as I finalized my father of the bride toast. Mary carefully edited my speech and provided recommendations to improve the flow, while maintaining the intent and heartfelt content. On the day of the wedding, Mary was a reassuring presence for a nervous dad!"
