The BEST wedding planner in all of TIME and SPACE

If you are looking for a wedding planner - look no further! Mary was the absolute greatest! I know for a FACT that I would not have had the perfect wedding day that I did without her help!
I had booked my venue (the Lodge on Echo Lake) in Feb. 2022 and found Mary in Oct. 2022 (one year before my wedding). I was looking on Instagram and found her as a recommendation. I live in NJ, she is based in NY and has done many weddings at my venue before (also in NY).
I signed up with the "little more love" package that she offered which worked great for our budget & for the wedding day as well.
This was a once-a-month zoom meeting. She was extremely flexible with my schedule to set up times to meet.
As we got closer to the wedding, the venue's coordinator was NOT great in communication and THANK GOODNESS for Mary, she followed up until we got the answers that we needed for setting up and for communicating with all of the other vendors.
All of my other vendors were very impressed with her communication skills as well and ensuring everyone was on the same page with the timeline.
She beautifully set up the centerpieces and all other decorations that I had brought and DIY'd, it really was the most beautiful day!
I could not have done it without her, I am just sad that I don't have another big event coming up to plan with her again!

Mary Jacobs is a godsend

Having Mary Jacobs as our wedding coordinator was a godsend. My husband and I were in way over our heads, trying to plan an Adirondack wedding from New Mexico. We were overwhelmed and rudderless, not knowing what needed to be done and in what order. As soon as we had Mary on our team, things were not only manageable, but fun and exciting! Mary helped us assemble our dream team of vendors, she gave us monthly tasks to complete, was always available via email or text, and overall ensured that we were on target with literally every aspect of our wedding planning timeline. In addition, Mary really listened to our desires, and helped us plan a wedding day that was as special and unique to us as possible. On our actual wedding weekend, completely Mary took the reins, ensuring that my husband and I had absolutely no worries on our wedding weekend. When it almost downpoured during our ceremony I like to think that it was Mary's super powers that kept it at bay allowing us to get married outside; she is that good. I can honestly say that hiring Mary as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! She is organized, well connected, takes charge, and incredibly kind and caring. We love you Mary!

To know Mary Jacobs is to love her... to work with her on a wedding is to be completely blown away by how awesome she is! Mary knows all the ins and outs of the wedding industry, since she comes from a background in catering and banquet management. She goes out of her way to make sure every vendor on the team ("friendor," as she likes to put it) is supported and informed. Her focus is on making the day perfect for the couple, and she pursues perfection by being exceptionally kind and detail-oriented. Can't wait to work with her again!
