Andrea was an amazing day of coordinator and everything I could have asked for. Leading up to the months before the wedding, she was very responsive over email and answered all of my questions.
When it came to having details meetings to go over everything I had booked and planned on my own, they were very organized and productive and made me feel very confident that the day would go smoothly.
On the day of the wedding, Andrea was so great that I don't even know of something that went wrong, because if it did she handled it and I never knew! Her emergency kit was a lifesaver and her team did such a great job. I got many compliments from family and friends on how great and amazing our wedding day was, and a ton of credit goes to Andrea for making everything go off without a hitch.

I was really frustrated with a lot of the planning experience with Andrea - I felt like she didn't really get to know me or my priorities and wasn't really on top of sending me options or booking vendors and I ended up having to reach out to her to when I wish she had been more proactive in managing my wedding timeline. It was also unclear what parts of the wedding planning process she thought were my responsibility versus hers, for example I would have expected input on hair and makeup vendors but she gave me no guidance on this.
I did feel she did a good job on the day of the wedding keeping everything moving and on time. She did have an emergency kit on the day of the wedding which we used.
Any questions?

Andrea did an amazing job helping us plan ahead, organize, and keep calm for our wedding. She took our ideas and executed them perfectly, and I knew things were getting taken care of when she would come find me throughout the night with a big smile on her face, asking how I was doing. If you’re on the fence about getting a planner, do it! It will help put your anxious mind at ease and Andrea did a phenomenal job!

Do not book Andrea if you are LGBTQIA+ or an ally. Unfortunately, she is homophobic and let my sister know that she could not plan her wedding because “same-sex marriages do not align with her values.” The cherry on top of it all is that she planned our cousin’s wedding last year; my gay sister was his best person and they had a drag queen and king at the reception. So it seems like Andrea is okay with queer folks if it’s for entertainment purposes but doesn’t take them seriously enough to celebrate their marriage.
It’s disappointing to see a Black woman refusing to support a fellow marginalized community member. And that we are still seeing homophobia in freaking 2022, especially in a liberal city like Columbus. It’s also ironic when your entire business stands for helping to spread love and joy for others but then do not accept a group of people because of the folks they choose to spend the rest of their lives with.
I’m not here to judge or hate but to inform others of what Andrea stands for before you book her for your next event as it’s not listed on her website that she won’t plan gay weddings. Instead of simply saying she was not able to help my sister, she had to write a long email about how she wouldn’t be able to give her “typical 150%” if she had hired her. Andrea, maybe you should take that extra 50% and educate yourself on the amount of persecution queer folks have to endure on a daily basis just to live authentically in the world. And how it affects their mental, physical and emotional health as human beings. I’ll be praying for you in the meantime.

I could not imagine my wedding day without Andrea. Being a wedding coordinator myself, I know how much goes on and what needs done. She is one of the most thoughtful, professional and genuine people I have ever met. I know her professionally and personally and I would not trust my wedding day with anyone else. People often think "oh I don't need a coordinator," trust me, you do! I felt so at ease the whole day since I knew she was handling it. Thank you Andrea!! XOXO

Stop what you're doing and hire Andréa NOW!
Choosing Andréa's Occasions was the best decision we made for our wedding. We live out of state and entrusted our vision to Andréa who executed everything expertly. She recommended all of our amazing vendors and coordinated all communications with them, saving us so much time and stress leading up to the Big Day. Even from a distance, she got to know us well, shared valuable guidance, and and truly made our wedding feel like "us."
Andréa handled the planning process, wedding week, and wedding itself with such calm and care that we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment. We could not be more grateful for this gift.
Why are you still reading? Book. Her. Immediately.

Because of Andréa, I was not stressed for even a minute on my wedding day. Her chill and confident demeanor calmed my nerves. She was ready with just-in-case supplies, communicated well with vendors and all members of of the bridal party, and handled with ease every problem that arose. Andréa was wonderful during the planning process as well - no meeting felt rushed and she thought of every possible actuality. She helped me realize things I didn’t even know I wanted. It was so incredible to see her work in her gift and passion for wedding planning. Andréa will get excited with and for you during your special wedding season. I feel a sense of personal gratitude towards this awesome woman because truly my wedding would not have been what it was without her.

Andréa's Occasions was PHENOMENAL to work with! This is now our second event we have had the pleasure of working with Andréa's Occasions. Our entire family adores her and her team! She is attentive and very professional. Andréa and her team comb through every single detail with you and make sure it all goes as planned. She made sure the entire night ran as we visioned, ran on time and that we (the bride and groom) were being served/taken care of! She truly is the best in the business and we recommend her for all your wedding/party planning needs. She goes above and beyond and works behind the scenes so you can be fully present with no stress. Thank you Andréa for being a wonderful person and event planner! We couldn’t have done it all without you! - The Stonerocks

ANDREA IS AN AMAZING PERSON AND VERY PROFESSIONAL AS WELL.
WE LOVED HOW PRECISE, ORGANIZED, & KNOWLEDGEABLE SHE WAS. WE DIDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING BECAUSE ANDREA WANT US TO JUST FOCUS ON OURSELVES AND THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME...
WHEN I HAD A MELT DOWN SHE PUT ORGANIZING TO THE SIDE AND SHOWED ME SUPPORT & COMFORT LETTING ME KNOW EVERYTHING WILL BE OK... SHE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MEANT TO ME. ❤
WE HAD AN AMAZING BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT WE WILL CHERISH ALL OUR LIVES. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT HOW WE WANTED IT THANKS TO ANDREA & THE TEAM. SHE WAS MORE THAN A WEDDING PLANNER BUT A FRIEND AND WE WAS VERY BLESSED TO HAVE BE IN HER COMPANY.
SO ANYONE WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO USE ANDREA'S SERVICES. YOU WILL BE MISSING OUT ON A REALLY GOOD PERSON WHO KNOWS HER STUFF AND WILL MAKE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY AMAZING AND SOMETHING TO REMEMBER!🥰🤗

Andréa was an absolute pleasure to work with when planning all of the details of our special day. She was quick to listen, offer advice, send emails/make calls, and accomplish any task. Andréa stopped at nothing to make sure that all of our desires were met if not surpassed. The amount of detail and intentionality she carries within her role demonstrates that she sees this as more than a job, but a true calling and gift. Anyone blessed to have Andréa as their wedding planner not only has an authentic professional at their side, but a confidant on their team. Come wedding day, Andréa did her best to ensure we weren’t simply taken care of, but were having the best day of our lives! We were honored to have Andréa as such an integral part to our day and cannot imagine what it would have been like without her!

Andréa was absolutely fantastic! We began planning a year in advance then had to change everything with 5 months to spare. She takes her job very serious and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She was extremely attentive and most important for my situation, she was so patient. I can’t thank Andréa enough, without her, our day would not have happened.

Andrea was the perfect combination of professionalism and genuineness. She was always there, never intrusive. She kept the wedding party in line, but with a smile. She made sure that the bride's wishes were followed.
When we realized we had not gotten appetizer plates, Andrea opened her trunk and saved the day with a stack of plates.
I appreciate her so much!

Andrea was so helpful with my daughter's wedding 10/10/20. I had just moved 2 states away when the engagement happened, and was so worried about not being there to help my daughter with vendor selection and all the other steps in wedding planning. Andrea spent a lot of time helping my daughter. Andrea was so organized and full of great suggestions and ideas. She made sure that everything got done according to schedule and was patient explaining things us, When the actual events happened, it all came together beautifully. Andrea was the first one there and the last to leave, calmly providing direction and making sure everything was perfect.

Andréa was a life saver during wedding planning and I'm so happy we worked with her. She always remained calm, cool, collected and organized. I never felt stressed when I was around her. She has a calming aurora which is exactly what I wanted in a wedding planner. She is very experienced in event planning and has seen it all. She was able to help us plan the wedding of our dreams on 10.10.2020. We wanted a small wedding, focused on our love, and she understood that vision. It was great having her come with us to meet vendors because she would ask questions we never thought to ask. Andréa also would review the vendor contracts and make sure everything was right. She was always just a phone call, text or email away whenever I had a question or was feeling worried. I would definitely recommend anyone planning an event or wedding to reach out to Andréa for her experience.

Andrea was such a huge help for our wedding day, and I genuinely could not have done it without her. She calmed my nerves, both before and during, and I had no worries about my very DIY wedding being set up how I wanted and in the time frame we needed it done.
She met with us months prior to help us get all the details worked out, made great suggestions throughout the whole process, and was very easy and professional to work with!
My family, as well as my guests, spoke so highly of her throughout the evening, as well as weeks after. Whenever we talk about the wedding, Andrea comes up!
I would hire her time and time again, and will recommend her to everyone I know needing a Day-of-Coordinator!
Professional, Kind, Prompt, Helpful, Supportive, Organized...Just some of the words I would use to describe her!

Andréa was phenomenal! I hired Andréa's Occasions for day-of planning our 200+ person wedding with a 24 person wedding party. She eliminated any stress of the day and made sure everything went smoothly. We had activities from 6am until our reception was over at 11pm - Andréa supported us through the entire day and coordinated all of our vendors. She made a point to check in with me throughout the day to ensure I had everything I needed and she and her team set up all our decorations exactly as I had dreamed - from getting ready at the house in the morning to the ceremony to reception - all without a glitch! My only regret is that I didn't hire her to plan the whole wedding, the planning process would have been so much less stressful. We were thrilled to have Andréa's Occasions for our wedding day!

I LOVED ANDRÉA she and her assistant made my day go SO smooth and stress free! If I would think about something last minute and say something to her she already had it covered, I swear she was 12 steps ahead(thank God bc I was 13 behind) . I thought about not having a day of coordinator but I'm so happy I did and so is my family so they got to enjoy the day now "work" it. Andréa really was amazing and sooo on top of things she kept everything and everybody in line and on schedule! I cannot thank Andréa and kaylee enough for how great and helpful they were

I recently threw my wife a surprise 30th birthday party. I had no idea where to start. All I knew is it had to be an epic event. I had a guest list of 80 people and a general idea of what I wanted. I cannot stress this enough, This party would not have happened without Andrea. She worked with me to clarify my vision, to gather vendors, to coordinate the guest's travel plans. She took care of everything. The DJ, the caterer, the decor stylists, the bar, the venue, cake. She left no detail untouched. She even helped me with a plan for getting my wife there without her suspecting a thing. If you are planning a wedding or any kind of event, Andrea will be the person that can make it better than you think it could be.

If you are in search of a coordinator who will fulfill every wish you possibly have (within reason!), than you have found your match. Not only did Andrea and her team make my wedding an absolute dream come true, she also kept the calmest demeanor the entire day while doing so.
I contacted Andrea very shortly before my wedding with an extensive list of tasks/wants/needs, and just from her prompt email responses, I knew she could be trusted. She had us set up an in-person meeting (to which she travelled all the way to me!) where she made sure we were on the same page about everything. She made me feel so relieved and even more excited for my big day, knowing that she would take care of everything perfectly. It also doesn't hurt that she is so very sweet and personable!
On the big day, her team arrived on time, with smiles, and with a starbucks drink for me in hand (talk about going the extra mile!). They were hard at work the whole day setting everything up, while also being ready to answer any questions or take on any new tasks at the drop of a hat. They kept guests happy and informed and kept all vendors up to date on the nights festivities.
All in all, if you want a stress-free, professional, and dedicated coordinator, you MUST hire Andrea and her team!

Andrea planned our wedding and it was a dream come true! We're so busy and knew we wanted everything to go smooth for our special day. Our biggest worry was if the expense was necessary considering everything we had pay for all at once, but it was soooo worth it! Andrea put all of our fears to rest and helped us to relax throughout the process. She's also super fun and laid back, even if she hadn't planned our wedding we'd want her as a guest! We will definitely recommend her to our friends getting married because she made our wedding possible, honestly!

Our wedding day was amazing! This was largely due to Andrea Sargent of Andrea’s Occasions being our wedding planner. From the first day we started planning our wedding with Andrea to the day of our wedding; Andrea was truly a blessing in so many ways. Her professionalism and attention to detail was amazing. Her knowledge of the wedding process was very helpful to us as she brought up important details that I had never even thought of. Andrea has many wedding vendor contacts. She was able to help us line up all of our vendors to complete our perfect day.
Andrea worked very hard on our wedding day timeline. We met several times and she made many drafts of the timeline until it was perfect. One of the most important things that we wanted for our wedding day was that all of our family members be able to enjoy the day with us and not have to be involved with any of the organizing details or dealing with issues. Because of Andrea’s detailed planning skills, the entire day went smoothly with no issues at all. It was a very beautiful and memorable day for us and our families. We really can’t thank Andrea and her assistants enough for all that they did to make our wedding day so special.

As the bride, I could not have asked for a better coordinator for my wedding. On our first meeting, I knew she was the person I wanted to be with me on my wedding day. We met few times before the wedding and she helped me a lot with vendors, contracts, etc. She answer my emails or text messages in a timely manner. She was on top of everything and made my day to go by smoothly. I had couple situations that were a little bit stressful, but she took over those and handle them very well. I was stress-free! Very organized, detailed, and passionate about her job. My husband and I can't thank enough for all you did to make our day an unforgettable day.

Andrea was the perfect fit for my DIY wedding! I'm a planner by nature, so I asked Andrea to help me execute and finalize all of my work. She did an amazing job! She was able to expertly display and execute my months of crafting and planning. The reception turned out better than I could have imagined! Also, our ceremony was almost a weather disaster but Andrea was cool as a cucumber and managed to get our ceremony outside in the little window of sunshine we had. The best!
