Wedding coordinator

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Brianna. She made sure our day completely exceeded our expectations, and we could not have asked for a better person to rely on. Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail and overall process truly shined everyday leading up to and throughout the entire wedding!

Absolutely incredible experience with Mary!

My husband, Dan, and I worked with Mary Klein for our big day, and we truly don’t have the right words to describe how amazing she is. We could not have done it without her. From the very beginning, she was so thoughtful, helpful, and extremely organized. We felt at ease after the first call we had with her!

The weeks leading up to the event, she was on top of everything - getting in contact with our vendors, giving us recommendations for things we never even considered, checking in on how we were feeling. But then the day of, she went above and beyond. I felt like dan and I didn’t need to worry about a thing!!! She Was in the room with the girls to ensure we had everything we needed, she helped with a dress malfunction on my wedding dress, she walked one of the ring bearers down the aisle because he was crying, the list goes on!! I can’t write in words how valuable Mary was to the day.

Not only did she cross everything off the box (and then some), but Mary is so genuine and kind. She never made us feel like we were asking too much or asking silly questions. She made us feel like humans and wanted us to be happy and comfortable on our most important day. Anyone is lucky to work with Mary, and I am so blessed that we had the privilege to meet her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Amazing to work with!

Mary at Clementine was incredible to work with. From the beginning to the end, Mary was reliable, professional, proactive, and so so nice! She was delightful to work with!
During the tasting and wedding, Mary was intuitive and asked detailed questions to ensure our wants/needs were met for the big day!
With Mary's help, our day was perfect and it wouldn't have run so smoothly without her! After the ceremony, I wanted to move some floral arrangements downstairs & the venue said they couldn't do it, however, Mary made it happen!
I appreciated her following up after the wedding to go over logistical things, as well!
We are grateful for Mary and highly recommend her!
