Mary Carlson
Owner + Lead Planner
I fell in love with wedding and event planning in college. Before starting Pure Event Planning & Design, I worked as a wedding coordinator and events manager at several high-end venues around the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area. These jobs taught me the ins and outs of wedding planning. Turns out, there is a lot more to planning than a guest list and decor (which is why you are here, right?!).
I started Pure Event Planning & Design because my passion in life is making my clients’ lives easier. Planning weddings and events can be stressful and complicated. You should get to have fun while planning your wedding. You should also get to be present for every moment of your special day.
You get married, let me worry about making it happen. By the time your wedding day arrives, I hope we are friends.
