About Echo Event & Design
Echo Event & Design
I am Mary, the designer, planner, and heart behind Echo Event and Design. My approach to event planning is rooted in creating environments and experiences that foster connection and resonate. With decades of experience in event management spanning executive leadership in the arts to large-scale production, I bring a grounded and creative perspective to every celebration. Whether you are dreaming of a minimalist editorial look, a lush, over-the-top celebration, or a romantic, intimate gathering, my goal is to bring your love story to life.
My background in theater and production allows me to view your event through a unique lens. I do not just coordinate schedules; I understand the mechanical and artistic layers of how a space functions. From the high-level production logistics to the subtle details guests will remember, I focus on shaping an atmosphere that feels intentional and complete. My process is clear and detail-oriented, providing the professional foundation needed to realize your vision so you can focus on the moment itself.
In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Fun

President of High Point Catering and Events
Working with Mary was a game-changer for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt and detailed, which gave us confidence every step of the way. The team demonstrated genuine professionalism paired with a warmth that made collaborating with them enjoyable, and their expertise showed in every decision they guided us toward. They managed the logistics seamlessly on the day itself, handling unexpected challenges with a calm approach that kept everything running smoothly. We appreciated how they balanced our vision with their qualified recommendations, resulting in a celebration that felt authentically ours. I'd recommend Echo Event & Design to any couple looking for planners who truly care about bringing their wedding to life.
