Weddings by Mary- Kew Gardens wedding planner

Kind Words

We first reached out to Mary after having a really tough time balancing wedding planning along with busy work schedules, a new flat, and managing family on both sides of the Atlantic.

From the get-go Mary went over and above the call of duty; her wealth of experience coupled with her passion and kindness gave us a sense of calm we hadn’t previously experienced.

Mary’s commitment to her work is second to none. We’re not sure where we’d be without her constant support, coupled with her strong supplier relationships which allowed us to move our dates multiple times with the fewest changes. We know it wasn’t easy but she handled everything like the pro she is and allowed us to focus on getting through the year without added stress.

Mary, please know how grateful we are for your commitment and true friendship throughout this experience. It was not always easy, but so worth it to have the wedding weekend we’d dreamed of.

C&D – BESPOKE WEDDING PLANNING

MARQUEE WEDDING, JUNE 2022

Living abroad, it was critically important for us to find a great wedding planner.

Mary made everything so seamless: flexible and adaptive, thought of literally everything we needed to consider and put us at ease over the things that we were most worried about.

She is pragmatic, organised, but also so personable, which was everything we were looking for in a planner.

Everything went perfectly and, most importantly for us, we really got to enjoy every minute of our wedding without having to worry about liaising with suppliers, venue, church etc. It was so comforting to have Mary there in the run up to the ceremony, her presence was, as always, very calming.

We definitely felt overwhelmed on our wedding day, but those were feelings of joy, not stress or chaos; we know that the lack of stress was due to Mary taking care of everything for us.

We’re sure all your couples will have a wonderful experience with you, just as we did.

EXCLUSIVE WEDDING VENUE, DECEMBER 2021

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with.

She understood our wedding vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life for us. She was a real partner in making the day happen and honestly was instrumental in make it the best day ever.

We could not recommend her highly enough and we could not have done it without her

B&N – FULL WEDDING PLANNING

MARQUEE WEDDING, DECEMBER 2021

Generally loving organising, we were excited to get going with planning our wedding, until we decided to do it in 15 weeks’ time. We then felt quite daunted and overwhelmed with quite how much there was to do.

From the moment we contacted Mary, we knew we could not only trust her, but we felt she was professional, down to earth, warm and s omeone we could work with to get the job done!

Having Mary takes all the stress out of your planning and allows you to enjoy the run up to the big day, knowing she has got everything covered. There is nothing she doesn’t think about.

To have someone who spent the last few months really getting to know us, running our day, knowing exactly how we wanted things to go, was priceless.

MARQUEE WEDDING, MAY 2019

Looking back our only regret is that we didn’t get Mary on board sooner to plan our wedding from the start.

From the moment we had the first call, she instantly put us at ease. She was so helpful & calming as we realised just how much we had left to arrange.

She was super organised throughout and kept reminding us of the little details we might have missed.

The day went without a hitch and can honestly say that was down to Mary. She made sure the day ran smoothly and must have been in 10 different places at any one time!! We had no idea if anything had gone wrong as Mary was there.

As I looked through some of the sneak peaks from the photographer, I noticed Mary in the background of a photo with a huge smile on her face. It really summed it up for me – the reason that Mary is so good at what she does is because she loves it! We would recommend Mary without hesitation!

K&H – WEDDING DAY MANAGEMENT

THE DORCHESTER, LONDON, OCTOBER 2021

We had a vision for our wedding and found an amazing dry-hire venue but were worried that the stress of on-the-day coordination would detract from our enjoyment. Mary’s initial chat with us gave us the reassurance that we could rely on her to take our plans and ensure that on our wedding day everything happened the way we hoped.

Working with Mary was easy, with a very professional and on-the-ball approach. Our final meeting at the venue included a run-through of how the day would play out, and we were so glad to have Mary on hand to catch things we missed or make suggestions for how to make things go smoothly.

We had the most amazing wedding day where everything just happened around us, and for the few minor things that went awry Mary was lightning fast at finding a solution. Many of our guests commented on how relaxed we seemed, which was entirely thanks to Mary’s brilliant coordination.

L&S – ELITE WEDDING DAY MANAGEMENT

WEEKEND WEDDING VENUE, SEPTEMBER 2022

Where to begin? Mary was an absolute dream to work with.

After our first call, we just knew Mary was the lady for the job, instantly putting us at ease.

At our meetings Mary was able to answer our questions & concerns and the site visit meant we could walk her through absolutely everything. Mary took it all in and boy did she deliver!

On the day she arrived bringing her calm, happy, wonderful presence, putting us at ease. Mary didn’t just take care of us; she took care of all 120 guests plus suppliers. Superwoman springs to mind!

We can’t thank Mary enough. We could just let go, relax and enjoy what was the most incredible day of our lives.

Every couple tying the knot NEEDS a Mary!

K&J – ELITE WEDDING DAY MANAGEMENT

THE LANGHAM, LONDON, DECEMBER 2022

Working with Mary was wonderful, for all suppliers, the venue and most importantly the couple, the meetings were full of warmth, fun and collaborative ideas.

As a venue, Mary was a dream to work with and really helped in the run-up and on the day from the smallest to the biggest moments.

She was a fabulous and positive support, and we would certainly love to work together creating more beautiful events.

SOCIAL EVENTS MANAGER, THE DORCHESTER, LONDON

Working with Mary was very smooth and easy. She shared all the details of the wedding with me in advance and was very inclusive allowing me to be part of final details catch up with the couple.

Mary was so easy to work with throughout the planning process and on the day – it felt so efficient – us working as a team to make sure the couple had the best possible experience.

Mary understood all elements of the service from her hospitality background, which was very helpful.

I very much look forward to working with Mary again soon and would have no hesitation in recommending her!
