A Paper Flower Wedding - Day-Of Coordination Specalist

ggestions on everything from the venue layout to a detailed packing list. I can tell she has been in the wedding planning business for a while. Her communication was exceptional, she was professional, and I feel like her services were key in making our wedding day unforgettable. I did not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding and we made the right choice hiring her!

h's experience and thoroughness were evident from our very first phone call, where she walked us through each part of our ceremony and reception, and some of the decisions and arrangements she was there to help with. At the same time she was kind and poised, and helped us stay grounded in our overall wishes for the occasion amidst the long list of details to work through. After that call, she took the reins for communication with a hard-to-reach vendor, found a crew to take care of cleanup responsibilities at the end of the night, updated our list of rental items, and gave us a packing list for decorations we were bringing from home. On the day of the rehearsal, she patiently walked us and our families through the ceremony and calmly problem-solved when we brought a cake too large to fit in the venue's refrigerator. On the big day we were able fully focus on one another and our friends with us, while everything ran smoothly around us. We have only delightful memories!

re vision to life with all our decor, exactly how we imagined it. She provided great advice and insight into other vendors through our planning process. Her knowledge of the venue was extremely helpful in planning our day. She was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on our day and we got to spend the whole time being in the moment. If anything went wrong, we don't know about it because she handled it. She also packed everything up for us at the end of the night so it was an easy take home for us. 100% recommend Sarah!

ness at every stage of planning. In the 3 weeks leading up to the wedding, she was extremely responsive and thoughtful whenever we had questions or decisions to make. She was very kind and easy to work with, while also being very efficient and respecting how busy we were leading up to our big day. On the day of the wedding, Sarah completely took all of the stress out of the event. While we were being whisked from one thing to the next, it was such a relief knowing that she was there to help with any questions or surprises brought on by the vendors and guests. Need a band-aid? Sarah's got it. Someone's boutonniere is falling apart? Sarah's got glue. Need a drink or some food during cocktail hour? Sarah's already got your seat prepped with both. And all of this while staying patient, calm, and approachable. I really can't imagine what we would have done without her. She was there from the time we were setting up that morning to the time the last guest left and decoration was cleaned up. She made sure every minute of our time was accounted for (including breaks to rest and recharge) and that it all ran smoothly. If you have any reservations about hiring a day-of coordinator, know that it doesn't get better than Sarah!

pent so much time with us, and even offered to have our favors shipped to her house when they were delayed. She has the BEST demeanor for this job, always joyful and calm. My family and I appreciated her immensely. She read the room so well, ensured that everything went off without a hitch, and helped make sure my husband and I got to eat and drink everything we wanted to. A highlight was making eye contact with her during the speeches and her lifting two new already poured champagne glasses and bringing them to us after we finished our first ones. She also knew to let me eat my dessert before starting dancing which was much appreciated. She was the perfect amount involved and had the perfect balance of offering professional advice when we wanted it but first and foremost allowing us the freedom to create our own event how we wanted. We are so thankful!

t was money well spent. She assisted us beginning at approximately 4 weeks ahead of the wedding date and guided us all the way thru. She took the burden of all the “fine” details off of our shoulders and pulled off a stunning wedding day!!! She is a beautiful, kind human being with a “can do” & “don’t worry about a thing” attitude. We loved working with her and would highly recommend her!

ence with all the venues and vendors in the area. So go ahead and book her, I promise you will not regret it! :) -Bubbly Bartending

e rocked our wedding day. She made things super easy, approachable, and provided us with some amazing recommendations. She has a ton of experience and made the day run so smoothly. So many of our guests commented on how seamless the event was, and how it had a perfect flow. She took our ideas and turned them into the perfect wedding! Highly highly highly recommend!

dor we talked to was SO excited to work with her because she is incredibly thorough, kind, and wonderful to everyone she interacts with. We hired her as our day of coordinator and met with her for a walk through at our venue. During that walk through, her immaculate spreadsheet and corresponding questions made us feel that every detail was considered, and also cared about. She listened to our vision, and was prepared with thoughtful suggestions for our day, as if she completely understood and embodied what was important to us. When it came to the wedding day, Sarah was an actual fairy godmother. She was somehow ever present, made the space into a wonderland, and had every detail covered while also not being on top of us. One of our favorite details about working with her was that she created space in the day so that we could have moments where we were alone. Immediately after the ceremony, we had a secluded moment to enjoy our appetizers and cocktails (that she lovingly prepared). During dinner, Sarah organized the buffet so that our guests were ushered to eat, while our food was brought to us and we had a moment of normalcy eating together. When we came back to our little cabin at the end of the night, she made our bunk beds, and decorated the bunk with candles and flowers; such a magical touch for the end of magical day. We should have known what an incredible talent she was when all of the other vendors raved about her, but she really is the best investment you can make for the best day of your entire life. Sarah made us feel so enveloped in love, comfort, and calm; we are so Incredibly lucky that she was a part of our wedding day.

rds to handling all the details. Sarah's calm, kind and collected energy comes through in everything she does. When she began to outline our wedding for us, with incredibly detailed spreadsheets and schedules, we knew we had chosen the perfect person to make our day absolutely amazing. Sarah was there for us in every way. She did so many thoughtful things behind the scenes to take care of everyone and make things flow nicely. Sarah made sure we did not have to communicate with any vendors the week of the wedding. She put in so much extra time helping to set up for the ceremony and reception, that we really had nothing to do but enjoy ourselves. She is such a good person, who works very hard and loves what she does. If you are looking for a day of coordinator, A Paper Flower Wedding will exceed all of your expectations. We feel extremely lucky to have had Sarah's support for the big day!

a gift from my mother and I think it was arguably the best gift we received. If there was any type of disaster at our wedding, we are still waiting to hear about it because Sarah was able to take care of it so well (if there was a disaster). She was able to direct everyone to where things needed to go, she worked great with all our vendors and was extremely professional while at the same time, making you feel like you had known her for years. She took the time to understand what your vision was for your special day. Sarah - Thank you for everything that I know you did and for the things that I didn't even find out. You truly helped give us a wedding we couldn't have even dreamed of.

added lots of good ideas to the event and made sure everything happened seamlessly. I never worried about a thing on the wedding day. I really don't know how we could have done it without her. If you are booking a wedding at Roaring Camp Railroads in Felton, CA I would highly encourage you to work with Sarah as she has great incite into the location and will be able to give you invaluable advice on navigating the particulars of that venue. (I would of course recommend her to anyone using other venues in the Santa Cruz area as well!) I loved working with Sarah and would say it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

She is beyond organized & extremely detailed. She is familiar with many of the vendors in town and works well with them. She really knows her stuff!! Hire Sarah for your wedding! You will not be disappointed! One of the reviews I read before hiring her said “by the end of our wedding we both wanted to marry her!” It’s so true! She’s just wonderful!

onth-of coordinator was probably the best decision we made for any vendor we booked. We booked her literally at the last minute (5 weeks out) and she immediately started working. After a quick phone call, we felt comfortable and knew she would be a good fit. Leading up to the day, Sarah was extremely professional and very on top of things. She essentially took care of everything the week-of and handled all of our vendors for us. The day-of was just amazing because of Sarah and we didn't feel like we needed to be anywhere or do anything unless Sarah was telling us to do it. We essentially kept track of nothing during our wedding and Sarah scheduled everything perfectly. The timeline she developed was perfect and made the night flow so smoothly, we really couldn't have been more comfortable with putting everything in her hands. What more can I say? If you are considering Sarah as your coordinator, you wont be disappointed. She is professional, attentive, kind, and knows how to do her job extremely well. It was some of the best money we spent in our wedding budget.

s what she's doing! She was completely on top of everything, helped me to make sure I had what I needed in the weeks prior to the wedding, and on the day of the wedding I felt totally secure knowing Sarah was running the show! On top of being amazingly well organized, she also has a wonderful personality; she's super sweet and calm, and has a way of getting things to happen without being pushy or overbearing. She's totally worth the expense. I'm so glad I hired Sarah, and if you're considering hiring a day-of coordinator for your wedding you can't go wrong with A Paper Flower.
