“I had the pleasure of having Mary Jacobson do the catering for two of my events!  The first was a fundraiser for a Ugandan Orphanage that I did for almost 300 people.  She went above and beyond researching the perfect food to serve for such an event that fit in with the country/theme.  We did charcuterie boards and light appetizers. She created such visually creative and beautiful tables for serving the food. She was professional all the way from preparation, to the event to the clean up.  Everyone loved the food! I would hire her again without a second thought.

The second event was for my destination wedding which was in Paso Robles with 30 people.  The menu she created was inventive and amazing as well.  She also helped me with the planning of the wedding and came up with great ideas that added special touches to the wedding. I can't say enough good things about Mary, her food, professionalism, cheerful attitude and attention to details. Having her there allowed me to truly enjoy my wedding.  I will use her again!”

“When my son and his fiancee announced their wedding date and plans, my son's in-laws and I immediately thought of Mary to coordinate the event.  From the beginning she took the initiative to meet with us to understand our expectations, the venue, and desired nature of the event. She is comfortable in offering suggestions and is focused on details. We met numerous times to make sure we were all on the same page and preparation was moving along well.  If we hit a snag... she was helpful to quickly find a solution. She is well organized. She was always on time: she was extremely helpful in setting up the event, decorating, and managing the changes as we went from ceremony to reception and dinner.  She remained attentive to all our needs, yet was "invisible".  She always knew what the next needs were, always very cheerful and gracious, and never flustered. The wedding was beautiful, love and joy abounded.  The bride and groom, family and friends all commented that it was a most beautiful, and perfect wedding.  So much of that is attributable to the professionalism, expertise, and passion that Mary brings to her work.   A very happy father of the groom.”

“When my mother passed away, I knew I wanted to celebrate her life with a family gathering in our home. Mary was the first person I called. As always, she offered wonderful suggestions as to food and decor and, at the same time, made sure it was exactly what I wanted. She arrived early to set up quietly in the kitchen. After the service, tasty appetizers were ready for the family and, later on, a delicious dinner. The day was all about family and honoring Mom; Mary's presence made it even more beautiful.”

“At my daughters wedding that we held at our home, I realized I needed someone to handle the food service during the day of the wedding and also the farewell breakfast. Mary was just the person. She prepared beautiful platters of breakfast, drinks, snacks and lunch during the day of the wedding that included separate meals for the bridesmaids and groomsmen. She set an amazing buffet for the farewell breakfast of 150 guests that everyone raved about. Having Mary there allowed me to participate and be present with the wedding party.  She absolutely made the difference.”

“I hired Mary Jacobson to provide a charcuterie table spread and cookie bar for my daughter's wedding and cannot recommend her enough. From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and extremely organized. Our guests not only loved the food but were extremely complimentary on the displays. I was absolutely thrilled with Mary's services and would recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and organized event planner.”

“Mary was recommended to me by a co-worker who had previously had a successful event. After several meetings, the wedding for my daughter was planned.  On the day of the wedding, Mary and her assistant unloaded her car into our kitchen, backyard and patio.  There was food, decorations, and flowers. The day was sweltering hot, but Mary set about decorating, arranging tables, and then she and her assistant started cooking. After the ceremony, the food came out delicious, beautifully presented, and hot or cold as appropriate.  The wedding proceeded without a single problem.  It was a miracle!  My kitchen was cleaned up before she departed. I was very grateful for Mary and her hard work. We/I could not have had a successful wedding without her help.”

“Having worked side-by-side with Mary planning events at church, I knew she was the perfect person to plan my husband's retirement party. From the decor (inside our home and outside in the backyard) to a delicious food selection to the bartender, Mary planned it all. She wanted it to be just right for my husband's special day and ran every detail by me before making it all happen seamlessly. She arrived early with everything she needed, stayed to serve quietly behind the scenes and cleaned up after the party was over. Mary's the best and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“We hired Mary Jacobson as a wedding coordinator for our daughter's March 14, 2020 outdoor wedding. We were very nervous because it rained all week and covid was looming over our heads. Without Mary's help I don't know how we could have pulled off the wedding without a hitch. Mary's attention to detail and creativity was very much appreciated. We highly recommend Mary you won't be disappointed.”
