By Your Side Weddings

Samantha is amazing! Planning a wedding can be stressful, but won't be if you hire Samantha. We hired her for planning and as a day of coordinator. From the beginning she made sure she understood our vision and was super helpful with any questions we had. She is SO knowledgable about the industry and local vendors, she gave great suggestions for everything. She also reached out and handled the communication with our vendors which took such a load off of us during the planning process. On the day of she handled everything from reception set up to placement of small details to vendor coordination! My now husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing and could enjoy our entire day. After our day, our families even raved how great she was with organization, coordination, and questions! I can't recommend Samantha enough. She was organized, great with communication, and all around a complete gem!

I worked alongside Samantha at By Your Side Weddings for a mutual client and she was absolutely wonderful! Samantha was so organized and communicative the months leading up to the big day. She truly cared about her client's wants and needs and ensured everything was executed accordingly on the day of! I could tell her client's had a wonderful experienced and fully trusted her. Can't wait to work with her again!

I would honestly give Samantha a million stars if I could. Hiring her for day-of coordination was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding day. She is professional, organized, and SUCH a treasure to work with! We worked together to make the perfect timeline for the day, and I was so grateful to have her expertise and input throughout that process. She made sure every detail was correct ahead of time and executed perfectly on the wedding day. She handled a lot of the details, allowing my husband and me to be fully immersed in the events of our wedding day. Several of our family members made a point to tell us how great it was to have her to make the day so seamless. If we had to do our wedding day over again, Samantha would hands down be the first vendor we'd call!

Having Samantha as our day of coordinator was an absolute dream!!! I cannot imagine our wedding day and weeks leading up without her! From creating our wedding day timeline and adjusting it to our requests to managing a few wedding day hiccups with ease. Samantha made sure our wedding day was perfect! She was a calming presence in the hectic weeks leading up to the wedding and had quick answers to all my questions. After our wedding I had many family members and bridesmaids comment on how fun and relaxed our wedding day was, Samantha was the reason for that! If you are looking for a wedding planner of day of coordinator, I highly recommend hiring By Your Side Weddings, you won't regret it!

Samantha was wonderful to work with. As a fellow wedding vendor, she made our job so much easier. Great communication leading up to the wedding and a very smooth wedding day. Thank you for your professionalism!

I’m so glad I chose Samantha as my wedding planner. She was with me every step of the way. Samantha went above and beyond what I expected of her and she did it all with a smile. Once covid hit, I became very anxious and she reassured me our day would be perfect and she kept her promise. She made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day, right down to the last detail, and for that I can’t thank her enough!

Samantha was a huge part of our wedding day. We have big families and everyone wants to be involved and Sam was awesome in dealing with everyone’s input and keeping the day on track. It was so easy to work with her and she was professional and friendly throughout the process. We recommend her to all our friends!

I attended a wedding that Sam did. It was absolutely beautiful and Sam thought of every little detail. She is incredibly professional and an absolute delight to work with. 10/10 would highly recommend!

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding Sam did. She was very professional and organized. Booking with Sam will definitely guarantee your wedding day runs smoothly. Plus she has a great personality and is super easy to get along with! You will love her.

I attended one of Sam’s weddings and was blown away by her attention to the guest experience. She coordinated gifts for the guests, planned for late night snacks, and had a photo booth for sideline entertainment. The couple’s first dance to a live jazz band stole the show and made it one of the most memorable weddings I’ve attended! I would recommend Samantha to anyone that needs support planning their special day!

She's seriously one of the best in the business. I attended a wedding she did and it was incredible.

Samantha is a great organizer, foreseeing and solving potential problems before they even showed up.

Samantha was amazing! She helped make our wedding day run so smoothly. She helped ease my stress with a venue that provided a very short set up time before the start of our ceremony. Samantha managed to get everything set up on time and it looked even more amazing than I had hoped! We had a small mostly DIY wedding and she took on some odd requests (announce things over the speaker, run our music playlists and cut our wedding cake) from us and did a fantastic job! We couldn't have done it without her!

Hiring Samantha was THE BEST decision we made during our wedding planning process. I resisted hiring a day-of coordinator for a long time, but I honestly can’t imagine having a wedding without one. Everything was so uncertain in the weeks leading up to our wedding because of COVID-19, but Samantha was there for us in every way possible. She went above and beyond to help us stay sane and actually enjoy preparing for our wedding day. Samantha created a detailed day-of timeline that we followed with ease. She was present at our rehearsal and asked thoughtful questions. She handed out masks at our ceremony and helped seat guests so that we were in compliance with the church’s COVID-19 rules. She set up our decorations at the reception and worked with our vendors to make sure everything happened exactly how my husband and I requested throughout the evening (the reception venue was even more beautiful than we imagined!). Any time we had a question or concern about something, she was on top of it immediately. In short, my husband and I had a stress-free wedding day and we owe most of that to Samantha. I cannot recommend Samantha enough!!

Samantha was super easy to work with! She made our day memorable and enjoyable because we didn’t have to do any work ourselves. Thanks for all your help!

Samantha was more than I could ever ask for in a wedding planner for our special day! We hired her to help coordinate the day of the wedding and we’re so glad we did!!!! We only met a few times and she understood what we envisioned and wanted for our amazing day. She even went far and beyond as to pick up all of our decorations beforehand and flowers we used during the ceremony the week of our wedding, so I wouldn’t have to worry about decorating. Samantha not only coordinated with our vendors during the planning and day of but she also spent all day decorating with our venue too. We are so thankful for her hard work and support during our wedding!!! Again, I can’t say enough how amazing Samantha was during our wedding. We were able to relax throughout the whole wedding , which is every bride and grooms dream!!! Hire Samantha you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you Samantha for everything!!!! Xoxoxo!

Samantha was the wedding planner for my daughter’s wedding and we asked her to help with the “day of the wedding” because I wanted to enjoy the wedding and I wanted my daughter to be worry-free on her wedding day. Samantha was in a word - -phenomenal. She brought her expertise to every part of the wedding asking questions and providing guidance every step of the way from the rehearsal dinner to long after the wedding and reception were over. What makes Samantha so special? She loves what she does and is smiling and passionate about making your wedding or event special for you from start to finish. She’s professional and fun to work with taking care of you, the wedding party, decorations, cake, photographer, food, music, gifts - all with ease and expertise. We enjoyed every minute of Kelley and Patrick’s special day thanks to Samantha. I highly recommend Samantha for weddings or other special events. You won’t be disappointed- she’s terrific!

Samantha was amazing to work with! She made everything so easy on my wedding day- I was able to relax and not worry about anything that was going on. I was mostly relieved my family and bridal party didn’t have to lift a finger on the wedding day and got to actually just enjoy being part of it. If you’re looking for Day Of Coordination you should definitely hire her!

You can't go wrong hiring Samantha with By Your Side. For all the work she does- she is so affordable. Day-of coordination was about $1,000 and included SO much. She does the entire rehearsal, sets up the venue exactly how you'd like, makes sure photographers, DJs, etc. are where they need to be when, and takes down and collects everything at the end of the night. SO WORTH IT.

S - Spectacular A - Amazing M - Magnificent A - Awesome N - Nice T - Thoughtful H - Helpful A - Ambitious Pardon my silly review, but the words above truly capture Samantha and By Your Side Weddings. You will not be disappointed to use her as your wedding planner. She is passionate about her work and will make your wedding day a breeze.

By Your Side was just incredible! Samantha has been doing events for years and it shows! She was extremely detail-oriented and knew the right questions to ask during the planning process- things I didn’t even know she’d ask me or need to know. I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day- contacting our vendors, gathering our gifts, setting up decorations- she did it all!

I went to Sam’s wedding and it was phenomenal! She planned her whole wedding and the reception was the best part. All of the colors she chose, the back lighting to compliment her center pieces, and all of the fine details, came together and made her special day one I will always remember!

Samantha was amazing during my wedding planning! She helped me stay focused and kept our goals in mind with every decision, and was super responsive whenever I needed her. She asked questions I didn't even know I needed to think of! So glad we had Samantha in our corner during what can be such a stressful process.

Samantha is such a hands on planner and really invests in making sure every aspect of your special day is perfect. She takes the time to listen to your wants and needs and does everything in her power to make sure your dreams come true. She has an arsenal of amazing vendors that she can recommend which makes for an easier time deciding who to go with. I would recommend By Your Side to any bride looking for that personalized friendly touch to their wedding day.
