About Us

A personal start

The Elegant Eclectic was born from a truly special moment—my daughter’s wedding. After pouring my heart into creating a unique and beautiful tablescape for her big day, I was surprised (and deeply honored) when her wedding venue approached me with an idea: "Had I ever thought of offering this as a service?"


Soon after her wedding, photos from her wedding were shared on the venue’s Instagram, and the response was overwhelming. Future brides began asking, “How can I get this look for my wedding?”~ that's when the venue approached me and just like that The Elegant Eclectic began to take root.


What started as a labor of love for one unforgettable day has now grown into a passion for helping others create their own beautiful, memorable events!

Mary was absolutely amazing from the first phone call to the very last minute. I wanted a certain center and Mary graciously purchased them for her inventory so she could give my son and daughter in law exactly what they wanted. Her communication and attention to detail is impeccable . I was planning all this from another state and Mary was there to answer any questions or help in anyway she could. I would 200% recommend Mary for any of your wedding needs.

"We recently got married and one of the best decisions we made was booking our decor and tablescapes through Elegant Eclectic. Everything was absolutely beautiful and Mary was a joy to work with. Her inventory is unique and has lots of options so you can find the look you want with the most competitive pricing. She made our night exactly how we had always envisioned and we are so thankful. Do yourselves a favor and lock in your date ASAP."

"Mary was such a great asset to my daughter's wedding day in so many ways! She has an amazing collection of real beautiful dishes that added that perfect touch of elegance to our reception tables! She went above & beyond in delivery, set up & tear down. She has a great eye for all things wedding & offered guidance & help with little extras that would've otherwise been overlooked. Communication was always timely anytime we had questions or needed to make decisions...you will not be disappointed if you choose to use her services!"

Mary at The Elegant Eclectic is one of the best event designers I have ever met. Having put on multiple large scale events that took care for the attention to detail, using Mary made everything easier. We gave her a budget and a vision board and she pulled together the most beautiful Gala that we’ve ever had! We had compliment after compliment from attendees thanking us, marveling at the details and design. We were glad to tell them that it was Mary!!


Mary makes working with her easy. She asks good questions, has fantastic ideas, and a collection of most of the table elements that you’d need without ever renting from a third party!


We will continue to work with Mary as long as we have events!!

We can't recommend Mary Kirkpatrick with The Elegant Eclectic highly enough! We've had the pleasure of working with Mary for several events, and her tablescape designs are always exceptionally creative and perfectly tailored to our themes.


She consistently goes above and beyond expectations to ensure every detail is flawless. Mary's talent, professionalism, and dedication truly elevate every event she touches!

When I mentioned to my wedding venue that we wanted vintage, 60s/70s style plateware for our wedding, their first recommendation was The Elegant Eclectic. I emailed Mary and she promptly sent over photos of her collection of beautiful retro plateware, and we knew she was the right person for the job! She invited us to her serene home to view the full collection and dream up some styling options. Even after seeing the dishes in person, we were still blown away with how Mary and her team styled and presented the plateware on our wedding day. It was absolutely perfect and really brought everything together. We received so many compliments on the dishes, and they truly made our wedding feel like "us." Mary and her team were a delight to work with and made everything so easy on the day of our wedding. Would highly recommend her and her beautiful collection of dishes!

Mary was the absolute best at helping my vision for my wedding reception come to life! She provided excellent guidance on choices for tableware and linens, and even helped to provide extra tables in order for my seating chart vision to work. She communicated great, was efficient in set-up and break down at the venue, and went above and beyond to make sure everything looked perfect. 10/10 recommend working with The Elegant Eclectic for your wedding or any event!
