A Lovely Universe

color palette and vibe for the wedding, as well as all of our signage. Sarah provided ideas on how to make the night one we will never forget. As time ticked down and the wedding got closer, Sarah coordinated communication with all of our vendors and got everyone on the same page (we had well over 7 venders)! Sarah also created a stunning and detailed day of timeline for us and our vendors to follow. The entire wedding day was flawless. Everything went off without a single bump in the road! Sarah left no stone unturned! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️

ut 4 months before we got married when more and more people were trickling onto our initially small guest list. I started to panic under the time crunch and was so afraid of throwing a dud of a party, and then Sarah swooped in with all the support and guidance and enthusiasm I needed to keep the integrity of our vision while also giving it a glow-up! She was recommended to me by a family friend who had gotten married a month before us, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that recommendation. She came through with the perfect suggestions and she and her mom even provided our gorgeous flowers! Perfect little bud vases, votive candles, and flowers for the tables, flowers and greenery for our little arch that we got hitched under, and the perfect bouquet and boutonniere for both my husband and my dad. She took over all communication with vendors for the entirely of the month leading up to the wedding, and she helped me find a DJ when I thought we would end up with a music-less party! From behind the scenes, Sarah orchestrated everything from start to finish and we honestly had the most perfect wedding and are thrilled to have the memories we do thanks to her 💖 Thank you Sarah!!! Would absolutely recommend!

conversations the last 30 days of planning, which alleviated my stress. A true pleasure to work with and would recommend her to any bride!!

e right direction on....everything (also guilty; though I'm sure she'd be just as detail-oriented and helpful even if she's planning your dream wedding away from her stomping ground of the classy Jersey Shore). After interviewing another wedding planner there was no question Sarah was the right choice for us. She's organized and on top of everything (I'm talking emails you back at 10pm on a Tuesday even when you tell her not to! Anticipates things before they go wrong! Tells you what to save money on and what is worth splurging on...the list goes on and on) but laid-back and not type A neurotic. And if she ever was super stressed throughout our short and busy planning process, she never showed it, which is super important when you (the couple) are likely stressed about 800 things behind the scenes. She has a way of making you feel like everything is going to work out. And speaking of which, it does! She helped pull off an enchanted garden-esque wedding for us and 40 of our closest loved ones complete with fielding and executing lots of random but important requests from us (chess-themed cookies, a great trivia host, a bloody mary toast in the middle of our ceremony, a strings' trio that didn't break the bank, a late-night fried chicken delivery surprise for the groom, flowers waiting at the hotel for the bride, etc.) with a smile. She's also a genuinely nice and caring person. A lot of wedding planners are going to look at you like "huh? you don't want bridesmaids and groomsmen?" but she makes you feel confident about whatever traditions you choose to follow / not follow, and gently steers you in the right direction if she thinks you're making the wrong call (trust us, your wedding planner knows best). If you want one of the most stressful processes of your life to be a giant weight off your shoulders, hire Sarah. We're still getting handwritten notes and emails about how our wedding was so perfect, in no small thanks to Sarah's behind-the-scenes wizadry.

Upon meeting Sarah, she instantly understood what I wanted without me even having to tell her too many details. Her style is impeccable and she always had new ideas to share. When our initial venue didn't work out, she immediately helped us find a new one which turned out to be our DREAM venue. Over the next year or so of planning, changing my mind on florals, design elements, etc. she was always patient and reassuring. I appreciated her honestly and how her main focus was making our dream day come to life while staying within budget. On the day of, she was on top of EVERYTHING and all of the details. If anything went wrong, I never knew it! I cannot recommend Sarah enough to help make your dream day a reality. She is truly the best! I (and my family) loved working with her and she became a friend to all of us!

eline. Sarah is professional, extremely responsive/available to your needs, prompt in all communication, knowledgeable, creative, and highly organized. She helped us manage our vision, time and our budget, and she had great recommendations where/when we needed them. She was the voice of reason I needed throughout the process when moments felt overwhelming. Sarah checked in on us all throughout our special day to ensure our satisfaction with every detail. She also followed up after our wedding to see if there was anything we were displeased about so she might help us resolve outstanding issues with vendors. There is simply no world where we could have pulled off our wedding without Sarah's expert help and guidance. I can't recommend her enough!

popped up through the planning process. As for the wedding day itself, she was heart of the operation. Not only did she make our wedding day timeline and coordinate the day, she helped decorate! She designed signs for our reception and was there that morning to ensure the decorations matched our vision board. We were so happy to have a wedding planner who understood us and took away more than half the stress of wedding planning. We will be looking forward to working with her for future events!

and why. Everything was perfect leading into the event and everyone who attended or saw photos pointed out that we made the right choice by going with A Lovely Universe! She helped me stay on training and remain calm by acting like a bit of a therapist through it all. Book Sarah!!!!

eemed overwhelming and stressful until Sarah stepped in and made the whole process seamless, stress-free, and fun! Her organization skills, amazing creativity, calm demeanor, and impeccable taste helped Andrew and I to feel 100% confident in relying on Sarah to design our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true and even ended up exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to A Lovely Universe for making our day so special!

wedding day as well as creative and with a sense of whimsy. I could tell that it was incredibly important for her to create an experience for her guests and to make sure they were taken care of and enjoyed themselves fully. As a couple, they created so many of the decor items themselves to make sure their wedding felt personal and I know she would work with any couples to make sure their wedding felt unique and personal as well. Sarah's personality is as genuine and as sweet as they come. In a world that can be very high stress, she took any changes with grace and made sure she enjoyed the process. I know you will love working with Sarah just as much as I did!

nded quickly!). She had a multitude of super cute options and the hardest part of the process was figuring out how to narrow it down to a few pieces! I loved that she offered products made by small businesses that were affordable and nontoxic, and that I could send the girls a personalized note in the beautiful boxes. It was all so sentimental and fit my personality perfectly. And my bridesmaids loved them and were especially raving about the candles! I couldn't recommend working with Sarah enough. She was so professional, extremely timely with her communications, she translated my preferences superbly, and she worked within my budget (which is hard when you have a big crew!). And even beyond that, when one of my bridesmaids' boxes wasn't delivering because of a mailbox issue, she solved it with the local USPS office, and it was all the way in California! I truly couldn't believe how above and beyond she went with this, and it was truly a pleasure to work with her. Whether it's for a custom project or an event, work with Sarah! She has an incredible track record and is a delight to work with!!

t. When it came to planning my wedding in the middle of covid last summer, I contacted Sarah after not having a clue what to do. She helped to organize a great little outdoor shower that was perfect and so special! I highly recommend her for any event. She’s organized, responsive, and very creative. Would use her again in a heartbeat!
