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.

CAP Team

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.

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!!

Planning a wedding was time consuming, stress inducing and extremely rewarding ❤️
But here’s the truth…

We did not do it alone ?

We had an amazing team behind us that helped us through every step. Eventually I will take time to post and thank each of them individually; but today I want to thank a very special individual

Mae Mullon of Beyond Smitten Events.

We would not have had the wedding of a lifetime if it wasn’t for Mae.

She calmed us down when we would get overwhelmed and literally did the work of at least 5 people.

If you are planning a wedding or think one day you will be I strongly suggest keeping Mae in the back of your mind.

Thank you Mae for literally making our dreams come true ?❤️

Forever grateful!

Mae and her team were incredible! I didnt necessarily love wedding planning but Mae made it easier and less stressful. We originally had our wedding venue booked in Foresthill, CA but due to a fire that happened a month before our wedding, we had to change venues 2 weeks before our wedding date, to a venue in Pleasant Grove, CA. Mae’s calm demeanor and knowledge of the industry made us feel at ease with the last minute change. Our wedding would not have gone as smooth as it did without her and her team. She helped us prep for all things wedding related a few months prior as well as being on-site for the rehearsal & day-of wedding coordination with her team. During planning, she was always available via phone or email when we had questions. You can tell she really cares about each and every one of her clients and will do whatever she can to make their wedding day seamless.

Writing this review makes us feel so grateful for everything Mae and her team did to make our wedding absolutely perfect!

We not only had the most magical wedding day, but the most magical, low-stress, and fun wedding planning experience because of the Beyond Smitten Events team. Cheyanne was our coordinator and she was the most attentive, thoughtful, and just all around awesome human we could've had helping us. I couldn't dream of a better experience. We feel so lucky and thankful and I feel so confident that anyone who works with this team will have the same experience!!
