Mary, Mary, when you comin?

Celebrity wedding planner and reality show star Mary Dann will be in Ohio this week for several events to promote her new book, "Wedding Wisdom," and giving us Ohioans a celebrity treat! (Or tweet? @MaryDann is an avid twitterer.) Mary has been featured on reality shows like "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?" and "Platinum Weddings," and has been featured on WE Entertainment and the Style Network. Coolest thing about Mary (besides her amazing warm personality, of course)? She's planned events for Kobe Bryant!

Winter Wonderland Wedding in Chagrin Falls, Ohio with Mary Dann from Godfather Films on Vimeo. Mary and I met through the Association of Bridal Consultants, and we quickly developed a friendship over the phone. When she signed a client in LA whose wedding was in Ohio, I was so honored to be the first person she called for help! I had the pleasure of working with Mary a few weeks ago in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, (a suburb of Cleveland) and this is what she had to say about Your Dream Day -- on camera! I was floored! I am so honored to have Mary both as a friend and a referral!! I also had the opportunity to work with John Goolsby with Godfather Films who is, by many in the WEVA industry, considered to be one of the best in the country. He has some creative shots in his portfolio that I'd never seen until a few weeks ago. It's always great to work with vendors from other markets because things that they consider routine we consider a treat.
