Beyond Smitten Events - Sacramento, California

I absolutely love working with Mae and her team. As a wedding photographer it is so important to have a good planner on my team to bring to life a couples vision collaboratively versus being separate entities throughout the day. Mae is always responsive and plays attention to details and handles the logistics allowing me to completely focus on capturing the day effortlessly.

We cannot recommend Mae Mallon and her team at Beyond Smitten Events highly enough! From the beginning, Mae kept us on track with a gentle and warm approach, making the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. She was instrumental in turning our vision into reality, meticulously coordinating with vendors, family, and friends to ensure everything was seamless.

Mae was always accessible, responding promptly to our questions and concerns, which was incredibly reassuring. Her budget-conscious strategies were a lifesaver, helping us prioritize our wants and stay within financial limits without compromising on the quality of our big day. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, reflecting her deep understanding of the industry and our personal tastes.

One of the standout qualities of Mae and her team was their ability to handle the complexities of our blended family. They made sure that the dozen or so children at our wedding were included and entertained, all while maintaining the sophistication of the event—no easy feat!

Mae’s warm, gentle energy was a perfect fit for our group, making everyone—from our youngest guests to the oldest—feel completely at ease. We were particularly impressed with how her team managed every detail, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our special day.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not just capable but also a joy to work with, look no further than Mae Mallon and Beyond Smitten Events. They’re just awesome!

She helped Roland and I make sure our wedding day was perfect, since the start she has been very easy to talk to and always responsive. If I needed recommendations for other vendors she was my go to and she recommended really good people. Mae referred our DJ and transportation after hearing I was having a difficult time finding the right fit. Mae is an amazing wedding planner and she made our special day as my husband would say “smooth”. She made sure problems were taken care of big or small (luckily ours was very minor) and was always there for us making sure we had a great time. I didn’t have a florist because I arranged fake flowers to save money, but Mae and her team setup our venues and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her to anyone newly engaged and if you want a trusted person, Mae and her team are it.

Our friend recommended Beyond Smitten Events to us when we started our search for a wedding planner. I was beyond happy that we went with Mae! After our initial first call meeting, my husband and I both enjoyed chatting with her — knowledgeable and down to earth. She handled all the vendor coordinations like a champ and offered lots of good advice and recommendations. It ended up being rainy and windy on the day of our wedding, so Mae and her team pivoted with the vendors to an alternative ceremony location and it turned out beautifully.

Our friends and family would tell us that we didn’t seem stressed, and it was all due to Beyond Smitten Events for making us feel at ease. Couldn’t thank Mae and her team enough! Highly recommend!!

Mae and her team were an absolute dream team to work with. Mae ensured a seamless and smooth wedding day that my husband and I will never forget. Mae has a very calming demeanor so we never felt stressed on our big day. I cannot recommend her enough!!! Truly made my dream wedding better than I could have ever imagined!!

Mae is an amazing wedding Planner. I worked with her as a vendor on a wedding in August and she was not only easy to work with, but was ahead of everything. Before the wedding, I had everything I needed to arrive and know exactly where I was going and where to park and unload. She was very responsive and easy to get a hold of on the day of. All of these things make a great planner, but her friendliness made it all that better to work with. I would recommend May 10 times more to anyone looking for a wedding planner that can design a beautiful wedding, but is also such a great vendor communicator!!

We had the best day and it wouldn’t have been possible without Mae and her team! With all of the help preparing and on the day of our wedding, we were able to fully enjoy the day and knew all of the small details were taken care of.

Our wedding was a dream come true with the help of the Beyond Smitten Events team!

We had a fantastic experience with Mae and her team. We hired their month of coordinator services and they made what was supposed to be the most chaotic last 3 months of wedding planning an absolute breeze! Mae was very communicative, proactive, and so professional - she helped us stay on our timelines and filled in the holes for everything we didn't think of. She's also such a gentle and zen person, just talking to her would ease my mind! We really felt like the day couldn't have gone more perfectly and it was truly major kudos to Mae and her wonderful team. We will be recommending them to all of our engaged friends!!
