We wholeheartedly recommend Carly Saber for any event or planning needs; she is simply the best!! From the moment we reached out to her, she transformed what initially felt like an overwhelming task into an enjoyable and exciting journey. Before contacting Carly, we were daunted at the prospect of planning our wedding and didn’t even know where to start. However, Carly’s warm demeanor and expertise instantly put us at ease.
Carly worked closely with us, accommodating our busy schedules and making the planning process so much easier. Her ultimate flexibility and willingness to incorporate our ideas were truly commendable. She made wedding planning not just manageable, but genuinely fun, and her enthusiasm only heightened our excitement about getting married.
What impressed us the most was her incredible organization and thorough knowledge of everything that needed to be done. When we were picking out venues, Carly made touring various different locations super easy by organizing site visits to make it easier for us travel through Napa Valley on a tight schedule. Carly is super responsive, often replying to our messages in the middle of the night or on weekends—even while she was on vacation or planning her own wedding! Her attention to detail was exceptional; she thought of everything when it came to our wedding, ensuring that all of our guests were taken care of and that every single detail was handled flawlessly.
Carly provided us with fantastic vendor recommendations, ensuring that everything fit within our budget. We loved every single vendor she suggested, and we know that it all started with the best decision we made—hiring Carly!
On our wedding day, Carly was always there to ease our nerves while also keeping us hyped and excited. We truly don’t know how we would have navigated our wedding day without her support and guidance.
We would absolutely love to work with her again in the future for other events and recommend her to our closest friends and family. Thank you, Carly, for making our wedding planning experience unforgettable!

We were so lucky to have been able to work with Tania, from Carly Saber Events for our wedding. From the very beginning, Tania was so organized and responsive, always there to talk, troubleshoot, and support. She effortlessly coordinated with all our vendors, ensuring every detail was perfect and nothing was overlooked.
Managing a large bridal party + family with many moving pieces can be stressful, but Tania made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. On our wedding day she kept everything running seamlessly, allowing us to fully relax and soak in every moment. Her dedication and passion were evident in every aspect of the day, and we felt so supported and cared for.
We can’t thank Tania (and the Carly Saber Events team) enough for making our wedding dreams come true. They were the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful for their hard work and expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, attentive, and genuinely invested in your happiness, Tania is the perfect choice!

Carly was amazing in helping us design, plan, and execute the perfect wedding. Everything went perfectly as planned. We and our guests had an incredible time! Carly was super passionate about helping us envision our wedding and gave us the roadmap to making it a reality. She was extremely professional, proactive, and responsive throughout the entire process. We could not have done it without her!

Carly Saber Events exceeded our expectations from day 1. From the moment we met Carly and Danielle we felt so at peace with putting our wedding day in their hands. Throughout our entire experience they were professional, organized, timely, and so much fun to work with. Carly blew us away throughout the design process, and created an incredible design board that allowed us to seamlessly receive quotes from other vendors (florists, rentals, etc). All of CSE’s vendor recommendation were stellar, and all of the vendors we connected with were quick to let us know that they LOVED working with CSE. Danielle was our main planner and we could not have been happier with our experience. She created all of the important tools like our budget, vendor trackers, and monthly to-do list which made our wedding so organized. She made our planning experience so positive by taking care of everything, big and small! Not only did she exceed our expectations with her coordination and execution, but her positive attitude made the entire experience so JOYFUL. Whether it was the day of our wedding, or even just a quick phone call / email, Danielle approached each interaction with a smile and calm demeanor. We really appreciated how quickly she got back to me and took care of changes. She developed an incredible timeline for us, and completely took control of vendor communication/updates so that we could just enjoy the special time leading up to our wedding. Even our wedding party and guests commented on how lovely she was throughout our wedding day. We truly owe our entire wedding experience to the CSE team, and we are so sad that our time working with them has come to an end.

Working with Carly and Danielle was incredible. Not only did they help bring our vision to life, they blew away our expectations. Here’s some sparknotes on why to book them:
Communication
Coordination
Design
Organization
Attitudes
Communication - we planned our Napa Valley wedding 3,000 miles from home. Not only was Danielle responsive to all of our questions, but was proactive on sending me invoices, updates on vendors, and things I didn’t even think about goes into wedding planning
Coordination - Danielle outlined our entire day to a T and it was perfect. We really wanted to spend as much time with our guests and they ensured our day accounted for that. They made it beyond easy to pick the right vendors for US, while providing top vendors in a variety of price ranges.
Design - WOW did they nail our vision. We wanted our wedding to feel comfortable, elegant and a giant party. We asked for a disco ball dance floor, tequila shots as our seating chart, and endless food and they delivered and then some. Our family and friends kept saying how our wedding was epic and magical.
Organization - As the Bride and Groom we were so at ease having Danielle at our side on our wedding day. We were able to enjoy our mornings with our families and close friends without any worrying of how our wedding setup is going. We were basically able to enjoy our wedding as a guest which made it so incredibly special to us.
Attitudes - Danielle is the most amazing planner AND person! She and Carly made us immediately feel comfortable from our first conversation. They made it easy to chat through our concerns and had amazing suggestions. If you have the opportunity to work with Danielle, it’s a must!

We cannot put into words how thankful we are to have chosen Carly as our wedding planner! The entire planning process was so seamless and our wedding weekend went perfectly! Carly is very responsive, professional, organized and easy to work with. Carly has felt like a friend to us the entire time we've known her! She has so much knowledge of the Napa/Sonoma wedding industry, its vendors, and other tips/tricks, and she provided invaluable guidance throughout the planning process. We felt so at ease the entire wedding weekend because we knew we were in good hands with Carly leading the way. We received so many compliments from guests and family members about how amazing the wedding was and also how amazing Carly was! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We could not have done it without Carly! You will not regret hiring Carly, she is the absolute best!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle from Carly Saber Events. We hired Danielle for a partial planning package and Carly for design, but with Danielle’s responsiveness, organization, and overall presence since Day 1, it felt like we hired her for full time planning! Danielle was not only a great resource throughout the planning process, keeping us on track with checklists, timelines, vendors and reminders, but she was truly a great friend throughout the entire time. I found myself bouncing the smallest things off her and she never once complained or made it seem like any question or topic was off limits. I felt so comfortable going into the big weekend knowing Danielle was by my side and on top of every detail we had worked so hard on planning for the months leading up. Her personality brightens any room and situation she walks into and her ability to remain calm and positive throughout the day really made a difference when I myself was on the verge of some meltdowns. Danielle and the entire team at Carly Saber are experts in the Napa area and have established great connections with the best vendors. We knew we were in good hands after our initial call, and it was comforting since my husband and I are both transplants to CA and nearly 95% of our guests were coming in from out of town! Danielle brought our vision to life, and we had the absolute perfect Napa wedding weekend with our loved ones. Thank you, Danielle, not only for your professionalism and expertise but your friendship throughout the process. I miss the planning process so much and a lot of that is due to how fun and seamless Danielle made it for us! Don’t think twice and hire Danielle from Carly Saber events!

My husband and I worked with Danielle Ashworth for our part-time planning and Carly Saber for our design. We could not recommend this team more! Danielle's communication was incredible. She made herself available to us whenever we had questions or needs come up. It truly felt like a full time planner experience at times. The day of the wedding, everything was executed so professionally and flawlessly. We had relatively large wedding parties and family and Danielle orchestrated so many moving parts & vendors so seamlessly. It was also very important to my husband & I that we were surrounded by positive & fun energy on our wedding day and Danielle continued to match what we were giving off! I could not recommend Danielle & The Carly Saber Events team more!

We can’t recommend Carly Saber Events enough! We started working with Danielle as our lead coordinator/ planner and Carly as our lead designer soon after our engagement. From our initial phone call all the way through our wedding day (and even after) this team held our hands through the very stressful wedding planning cycle, and made it all seamless. We are beyond grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Danielle- her expertise and connections in the Sonoma/California helped bring our wedding vision to life. It truly was even better than we imagined. We feel beyond grateful to the team for not just making this journey fun, but for helping the wedding day itself go as smoothly as possible.
Carly & Danielle- we are feeling so lucky that we found you and were able to work on our dream day with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

If you are reading this, you should 100% just go with Carly and her team. We just got married a few days ago and we’re writing this review on our honeymoon because she honestly deserves it.
From Day 1 of working together for our wedding, Carly has been responsive, supportive, flexible, and fun! She nailed the design for our wedding (seriously, every event and vibe were on point), she took things off of our plate when work was crazy and we didn’t have time to focus on the wedding, and she dealt with our crazy requests & ideas throughout the process. She executed both our welcome dinner and wedding flawlessly, and we hired her for our welcome dinner literally 1 week before the event because we needed help getting it over the finish line. We honestly couldn’t have done the wedding planning process without her and she is 100% the reason why our wedding weekend was so amazing, memorable, and stress-free. So TLDR is hire her!

My wedding was just a few days ago, and I cannot say enough good things about Danielle. She was absolutely amazing. We chose to do month of coordination, and from the second she started I knew I was in the best hands. Every question was answered promptly, our timeline was detailed and perfectly planned, she communicated with all of my vendors, and really allowed me to relax and focus on enjoying the lead up to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding Danielle was absolutely incredible. She helped with the set up, organized the vendors and deliveries, kept me in the loop on everything, and made sure we were sticking to our schedule. She is flexible, hyper organized, and just overall a joy to work with and be around. I would recommend her to any couple getting married. We can't stop talking about how flawlessly executed the wedding was, and we can attribute a lot of that to her! 10/10!!!

We started our wedding planning with Danielle at Carly Saber Events about a year prior to the official date. From the first meeting with Carly and afterwards Danielle we could tell these were the people we wanted to work with as they were both so kind and welcoming we knew it was a match. Danielle was incredibly passionate, efficient and most importantly for us driven to ensure we had the most beautiful and peaceful day possible without missing any details.
The entire process was broken down into achievable monthly milestones which made the planning so much easier and manageable. Danielle would go through all the fine print with our hired vendors and would offer suggestions and recommendations on how to ensure a flawless event. We could not imagine our wedding planning journey or our wedding day without her! Danielle we are so thankful for you and the joy you brought to every meeting, email and our wedding day! Thank you to Carly Saber Events for having such an amazing team that knows what they are doing and how to create magical wedding days!

From venue sourcing through wedding day execution, Carly made the entire planning process as seamless and stress free as possible. She was very professional, responsive and catered to all of our requests - even the last minute ones. 10/10 recommend Carly as a full service wedding planner - she’s fantastic.

We had the immense pleasure of working with Patricia for our May 2024 wedding, and I can't express enough how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From our first meeting, Patricia's warm and professional demeanor put us at ease. As the bride, I felt completely supported and reassured by her expertise and attention to detail.
Patricia's experience in the wedding industry is evident in every aspect of her work. She anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and executed. Her organization skills are top-notch, and she flawlessly managed all the moving parts of our wedding day.
One of the most remarkable things about Patricia is her ability to make you feel genuinely cared for. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer a calming presence during moments of stress. On the big day, I was able to fully enjoy the celebration because I knew Patricia had everything under control.
Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe a significant part of that to Patricia's hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and supportive, Patricia is the one to choose. She made our special day absolutely perfect, and we are forever grateful for her.
Thank you, Patricia, for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience!

We could not have had a better experience working with Carly. From beginning (selecting venue, vendors, design ideas) to end (day-of coordination, vision implementation), Carly kept us on task, on budget, and organized. When it began to rain as our outdoor dinner venue was getting set up on our wedding day, Carly kept the day dry, moving the reception inside and organizing with all vendors and the venue without us having to worry. She even kept us on time despite the hiccup! We truly could not have done the day without Carly- she allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding and the wedding planning process without getting stressed in the nitty gritty. Thank you Carly for all your hard work!

Working with Carly was an absolute pleasure and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone considering hiring her as your wedding planner. Her attention to detail is second to none and her willingness to go above and beyond for us is when we knew she was the perfect choice.
She is organized, listens, she's trustworthy, and will do whatever you need in order to make your day the most special day it could possibly be.
One thing that stood out to me most was on the actual day of the wedding. Carly took on any and all tasks even though they might not have been her own or were maybe more suited for the venue staff or other vendors. Everything went PERFECT and it was the most fun I have ever had. Everyone was raving about every aspect of the day and our families were especially thrilled with the work Carly did!
Don't hesitate to work with Carly. I know good business and she does incredible business. She receives my highest of recommendations and she will not disappoint!

Our wedding was an absolute dream come true, and it's all thanks to Carly Saber Events. From the moment we began this journey, Carly was our unwavering support and creative genius.
Her ability to transform our vision into reality left us speechless. Our wedding day was chic, intimate, and stunningly beautiful. It was a reflection of our love and style, unique in every way. The guests couldn't stop talking about how flawlessly everything came together, and during dinner, I was almost breathless from the sheer beauty of it all.
But what truly sets Carly apart is her unwavering dedication. She was there for us every step of the way, answering our questions day and night and handling unexpected challenges with grace and professionalism. She made me feel very heard and her reassuring presence made the entire experience feel stress-free, and we felt genuinely cared for.
We wholeheartedly recommend Carly Saber Events to anyone seeking an exceptional wedding designer, planner, or coordinator. They are the best in the business, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had them by our side on our special day.

It was the most perfect weekend. I cannot recommend Carly Saber Events enough.

Carly was absolutely incredible to work with. From our initial call, I immediately connected with her and could tell she was truly wanted to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. We absolutely loved all the vendors she recommended for our wedding and felt like she created the perfect vendor team. We had an Indian wedding and a Jewish wedding in one day, which was a 14 hour wedding day! We used 2 locations within the same property and had 2 meals, 2 completely different setups and colors/design visions, and more vendors than a typical wedding. Carly handled everything flawlessly and was so on top of every detail. She was willing to hop on calls whenever we had questions, and she even took the time to join a call to meet my parents and answer all of their questions! The coordination services on the day of our wedding were impeccable. Carly and her team took care of everything and made sure the day ran smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about anything. I 100% recommend Carly! She is the BEST!

Working with Carly to plan our wedding was an absolute delight. She made everything so easy for us throughout the entire process from finding our venue, to designing the wedding of our dreams, to coordinating day of, truly as easy as possible. Her chipper can-do attitude made it seem like anything was possible. She is incredibly organised, and kindly and gently stayed on top of us so at any point all I had to do was review her checklists to know what I needed to take care. Many of our family and friends told us our wedding was the best they have ever been to, and we never could have pulled it off without Carly. I honestly could not recommend her anymore.

Carly took planning our wedding to a level I didn’t even know was possible. Not only were we not stressed AT ALL —not even for a minute— but the big day was the most fun, beautiful and smoothly run day of our lives. We feel so lucky to have had Carly’s professionalism, poise and promptness with us every step of the way. She is truly a master of her craft and I just wish everyone could experience wedding planning with such ease. Carly responded to every email and text within five minutes, gave us month-by-month check lists which were incredibly detailed so we didn’t miss a thing, and found the best vendors I could have only dreamed of. I couldn’t have done this without her and we will look back on our day so fondly because of her talent.

Carly is an absolute pleasure to work with and played a critical role in making our dream destination wedding come to life! As a couple who lives in NJ and planning a wedding in California, Carly made our lives so much easier. From vendor recommendations, to helping with communications, and keeping us on track with timelines, I'm not sure how we could have done it without her! Not to mention, our actual wedding day itself was FLAWLESS, thanks to Carly's on-site coordination. Some time has passed now and still to this day our guests can not stop talking about how incredible our wedding was. Thank you Carly Saber Events!!

Carly Saber is THE wedding planner for Sonoma. Her suggested vendor list was spot on every time and all her people love her. She is gracious, warm, full of energy and incredibly organized.

Carly is absolutely the best! Always upbeat and helpful, her commitment to make our daughter's wedding beautiful and memorable equalled our own. The day of the event, she was helping setup at 7am in the rain (which thankfully stopped at 10am, with the wedding starting at 4pm) and remained until the after-party began at 10pm. She attended to every detail, large and small, and couldn't have done a better job. Professional in every way!

I cannot recommend Carly more. From the second we started working together, I knew that I was in the best hands to make all of my wedding dreams come true. I truly viewed Carly and I as partners throughout the wedding planning process. She was always available and made me feel at ease every step of the way. Right from the beginning, she immediately knew what my vision was for my special day. She truly understood exactly what I was looking for and did everything in her power to make that happen for me. She helped me make any and all decisions and recommended the best vendors that worked within my budget. And when my wedding day finally arrived, every single detail was executed without a hitch and I was able to truly not worry about a single thing and JUST ENJOY THE DAY! She has a way of making you feel like you are the only bride she is working with and is 110% present and knows every detail like the back of her hand. Everything from her monthly checklists, to her checking in regularly with vendors/the venue, to her immediate responsiveness — Carly could not be better. She is truly the best and I can't wait to work with her in the future! 10/10 for Carly Saber Events!

My husband and I are originally from Minnesota. We decided to have a destination wedding in California. We hired Carly because she is extremely detail oriented and organized. We knew we could trust her to get things done and get it done right; even when we weren't there. She made wedding planning from afar easy. She also is personable, kind, and easy to talk to. Which to us is equally important. We are so happy we hired Carly for our wedding.

Carly is absolutely exceptional and a dream to work with. I cannot recommend her and her team enough. She is incredibly responsive, thorough, organized, and always a pleasure to talk to. For everything there is to worry about when planning a wedding, Carly helps ensure you're calm and confident through it all. I was incredibly impressed with how Carly managed through the pandemic as a business partner. She has built close trusted relationships with tons of vendors, and will always give you the straight talk truth about who to work with and why depending on your goals and vision. Above all else, I am 100% certain you will not find a wedding planner who more genuinely cares for you as a client and human being than Carly does. Do not hesitate to book her services! I truly cannot imagine my wedding happening without her.

I love working with Carly! As a wedding cake vendor I know it's always going to be a fun project in a gorgeous setting. The communication is also great and as a vendor communication about the who, what, where and when is everything and a weight off of my shoulders.
Should you hire a coordinator? Yes!
As a vendor Carly gets my my 5 stars. Highly recommend.

This review is a few months delayed, but we can't thank Carly enough. Our big day would NOT have been successful if we didn't have Carly as our planner. My husband and I haven't really been to many weddings and none of our friends are married so we really didn't know where to start. Carly was so helpful with vendor recommendations in the area and when we wanted to add a few touches that she hadn't worked within the past she found vendors so quickly. Everyone she found was beyond professional and amazing on the day of. Wedding planning is inherently stressful so having her full planning services helped mitigate a lot of that. 2 months later our guests are still telling us it was the most beautiful, well planned, and organized wedding they've ever been to and we have Carly to thank for that because the day of we didn't have to lift a finger. 2021 was a busy year for her (weddings back to back every weekend) and she still managed to respond promptly to even the smallest questions. She was also awesome at taking feedback, pivoting when I wanted to change things and keeping everything on track. She also made sure we stayed on budget and communicated if/when we were going over. She's a true professional and I couldn't recommend Carly enough.

We had an amazing time working with Carly on our wedding. From our very first conversation, when she told us that she “really really loves lists,” we knew we could trust her to keep us on-track through the whole planning process. She was fun and easy to talk to - giving us time, space, and support to navigate all the challenges that come with planning a wedding. She made it clear when we had to make each decision, and she gave us all the information we needed to choose well. In the end, every one of the vendors she found for us absolutely knocked it out of the park. Plus, she ran our wedding day entirely seamlessly - she coordinated everyone and everything so that all we had to do was relax and enjoy. And the results were more beautiful than we could have hoped for! Thank you, Carly!

Carly is the ultimate event planning professional - hiring her is the best wedding-related decision we made. She designed, planned and executed a gorgeous, amazing event that was all set for April 2020, and then had to re-schedule twice as the pandemic just kept going. We actually got married on zoom and had a baby before we were able to have the event, which then of course had to be quite different than the original plan. In spite of it all, Carly rolled with it and had solutions for everything we threw her way. When we were finally able to have the event, it was exceptional and our guests are still raving about it months later. Working with Carly was so easy, and she took so much of the stress out of the process. As a couple we both work long hours at our jobs, and knowing we had Carly to sweat the small stuff for us was a huge relief! If you want a beautiful wedding, and you don't want to cry, stress or panic to get it, hiring Carly is the only way to go! Money well spent for memories that will last forever! Thank you, Carly!

A magical wedding weekend in wine country - thank you, Carly! Our experience with Carly was a long one, due to multiple COVID postponements, and we are SO thankful for her as she stuck with us for the 2.5+ year journey until our wedding dreams became a reality! Carly is dedicated to her clients and made sure any and all of our concerns or questions were addressed along the way. She helped us plan and execute on two events for our spectacular wedding weekend in Napa, and everything went so so smoothly! We cannot thank her enough for her hard work in making our Indian/American fusion wedding weekend a dream come true. It really was magical and all of our guests were raving about how it was the best wedding they've ever been to! Carly is well connected to the vendors/venues in wine country (a BIG reason we selected her) and I cannot say how important having those relationships are (especially during COVID times)!
As a Project Manager myself, I have a high attention to detail, and Carly did not disappoint in this arena. She made sure every detail was in place and to perfection. Details matter!!
Carly was an absolute pleasure to work with - an amazing, down to earth, and sweet person who I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat!

I wish I could have Carly be my life planner! I will surely miss her positivity and can-do attitude now that my wedding is over. Carly was wonderful throughout the wedding planning process. She always had great suggestions fo us, but also always listened to our wants and needs. I couldn't have put together our wedding without her guidance and I am so thankful we had her as our wedding coordinator!

Planning a wedding across the country with an already hectic schedule is truly daunting, but Carly made it easy. She is extremely organized, responsive and helpful, and completely got my wedding "vision." She sourced all of our amazing local vendors, and kept us on schedule with a monthly timeline. Because things were so thoroughly planned out, my wedding day was truly stress free. I can't imagine choosing any other planner for my wedding. Thank you Carly!!

Thank you so much Carly! You were kind, professional, attentive, and on point answering back to emails, calls, changes and concerns -- especially in the midst of a pandemic. Your calm, positive energy was infectious! On the day of the wedding you kept the wedding party and vendors in line and on schedule. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you for making my wedding day beautiful, seamless, and so much more than what I expected! You were incredible :) Cheers!

Take it from a type-A bride thinking she had everything under control - we are SO thankful for Carly!!! Carly was incredibly positive, responsive, detailed and organized throughout the entire planning process - which I very much so appreciated. Additionally, Carly proactively picked up on the level of detail I wanted to be involved in, and made sure she catered to that throughout the planning process and on the wedding day.
Carly has established herself as one of the BEST wedding planners in the wedding industry (other vendors want to work with her) and she has established amazing relationships with vendors in every category. When our photographers cancelled on us a few weeks before our wedding, Carly reached out to all her photographer connections in the industry to secure us a new photographer in just a couple days. Don't think this is going to happen to you? Trust me, neither did I!
Given how insanely organized she is, it was no surprise when we saw the detailed wedding timeline with the schedule for the entire day including arrival times for all of the vendors, what time I needed to be done with hair/makeup, ceremony lineup time, etc. On the wedding day itself, Carly flawlessly orchestrated everything - we never had to worry about a single thing and could enjoy being in the moment with family and friends.
It was evident to us that Carly truly loves what she does and is so incredibly talented and dedicated. Hands down our best decision we made during the entire wedding process was to work with her.

Carly is the best!! Not only is she the nicest person you'll ever meet, she is just so good at her job and was amazing to work with! When we got engaged, we talked to several wedding planners and as soon as we had our first call with Carly, we knew she was the one! On our first call, she listened to everything we wanted and we truly felt like she understood our vision. As soon as we started working with Carly, she immediately made things easy on us. She sent us vendor recommendations, budget spreadsheets and monthly checklists. We were originally supposed to get married in August 2020, but once COVID hit a few months before the wedding, we talked to Carly and made the decision to postpone the wedding to 2021. Carly was there for us every step of the way! She was so incredibly supportive and helped us work with all of our vendors to make sure all of our bases were covered.
Carly was on top of everything, especially leading up to the wedding! She was one step ahead of us the entire time. She was in constant contact with all of our vendors and sent details & timelines to everyone before the wedding. Carly also set up time with us to walk through the timeline and what to expect on the day of, which was so incredibly helpful. Carly was always available and had open communication the whole time. If we ever needed anything, she was a simple text away! On the wedding day, Carly took care of everything! The entire wedding ran so smoothly without anything going wrong. Our wedding was perfect and we have Carly to thank for that! Carly is amazing! 10/10 would hire Carly again!!!

Carly was amazing to work with. She was always responsive when I needed her and listened thoughtfully. She provided guidance and expertise from her years of experience in the industry that were invaluable to the stress of planning. I honestly couldn't have gotten through it without her. Thank you Carly!

Carly is the exact type of girl you want in your corner on your wedding day, hands down.
I would consider myself a Type A, perfectionist, and did not have a crystal clear vision for my wedding day so I wouldn't cal myself the easiest bride to work with because I made a lot of decisions on themes, colors, details as I went along. I knew what I didn't like but not always exactly what I did like. This is where Carly's excellence begins.
She is so incredibly easy to work with, so patient, but also a true expert in what she does. She has experience working with the big vendors in Napa including the venues which made a HUGE difference for us planning our Napa wedding from Chicago, IL. She has done so many weddings that I trusted her completely on vendor recommendations and they did not disappoint.. in fact there were a couple I booked before I found Carly and I wish I had stuck to her list because all of her patterns were absolute rock stars!
Her recommendations obviously stretch far beyond vendors because she also had the most perfect day of timeline, great suggestions on seating, day of event flow, procession details, everything! Anything I threw at her she would give me her best options and why (Important for me to know the why!) and then let me make the best decision.
I truly enjoyed the planning process with Carly, her monthly checklists were exactly what I needed to stay on track, and her expertise is what every bride hopes to have when they are planning their perfect day.
Thank you for everything Carly! XOX

If you are looking for a wedding planner who will melt your stress away, you must work with Carly! I began working with Carly for my wedding in May of 2020 for our May 2021 wedding at Tre Posti, and I am SO so thankful to have found her when I did! Not only did she keep me on track in terms of monthly to-do lists, but she had the most valuable suggestions and advice for each detail and vendor of my wedding. I trusted Carly wholeheartedly, which made the process a breeze. Carly brought positivity and excitement to each step of the process, and was honest with me always on what I needed (and more importantly what I did not need) for our fairytale day without squashing any of my out-of-the-box ideas. I was so thankful that she had suggestions on things I could cut out of my budget, and I don't regret skipping any of those things. She is a total professional in creating a wedding timeline and executing it flawlessly. If there were any hiccups on the wedding day, I didn't even know! Her ability to see my vision and make it come to life was applauded by all of our guests for weeks on end. And most importantly, she made wedding planning so enjoyable with minimal stress. I would recommend her services to anyone and would urge booking her early in your planning process to get the most out of her wonderful suggestions. Thank you for everything, Carly!

Working with Carly was the best decision I made when wedding planning! Carly absolutely blew me away throughout the entire process. It is my understanding that the majority of planners have a limit on communication with them, but Carly had no limit and always made time to answer my questions, recommend vendors and problem solve with me. She kept all of my contracts organized, coordinated with all of the vendors and prepared everyone for the big day perfectly. Carly was always a step ahead of everyone. When it came to the wedding day - Carly absolutely AMAZED ME! How many brides can say not one thing went wrong during their wedding day? I have worked with so many event planners over the years, and I would choose Carly time and time again. Because I have a background in events, I am super detailed and A-type and know when things go wrong/right, so choosing a planner was a big decision for me. Carly did an exceptional job "being inside the brides head" and made my vision come to life so perfectly. Many of our guests mentioned "who is your event planner?! She killed it!". Carly was a joy to have by my side on the big day and it gave my such peace of mind to know she was running the show. I cannot recommend her highly enough for her organization, intelligence, creativity, and on-the-spot problem solving. I am SO thankful we chose Carly for our wedding day!

We started off thinking that we could plan our wedding all by ourselves, but oh were we so wrong. If there are two recommendations that we can give any couples deciding to get married: (1) Get a planner (2) Go with Carly.
Seriously, Carly is a life saver and the best planner/executive producer you can find. We have talked with other planners, but NO ONE could beat what Carly was offering.
She is...
(1) the nicest human being in the world! She is always bubbly and ecstatic and easy to get along with. As a couple, we can be pretty introverted, but being with Carly made us want to open up and we just loved interacting with her.
(2) super well organized and excellent communication skills. She sends out checklists and reminders to make sure that we are on track with all of the busy-ness of creating a wedding. Her emails are direct and full of important information, which was helpful in understanding the communications that were happening amongst the vendors.
(3) the best executive producer!! Can we just say that our wedding was exactly the dream wedding that we wanted!! Like everything went perfectly and literally every single person who attended our wedding couldn't stop complimenting how wonderful and perfect the wedding was. Carly helped with coordinating all the COVID prereq requirements, all the last minute issues that came up (COVID regulations related), was calm and keeping us calm and relaxed, coordinated the entire wedding and guests that we didn't even notice any issues and got to enjoy ourselves, and kept us on schedule to have a great wedding!
We can write about all the various things that came up that Carly and her experience really helped to smooth out and resolve, but we need you to trust Carly that she will do an above and beyond job! She has so many wedding and event experience and we can't say how professional and amazing she has been! So don't give it a second thought and go with Carly Saber Events!

I met Carly in January 2019 after securing the venue for my daughter's wedding. She was on a list provided by the venue. At our first meeting I was impressed with her professionalism and her friendliness but absolutely won over by her knowledge of the vendors in the Napa Valley.
My situation was a bit unique in that I was planning this wedding for my daughter who lived across the country and would only have a few days to visit the Napa Valley to help with the planning. With her schedule as a Naval Officer, marrying another Naval Officer, there was one day all year that they could get married. Additionally, the bride would not be available by phone or email during most of the planning. Carly assured me this would not be a problem,
Carly introduced us to the best vendors! Her relationships with the vendors made me feel very secure in executing the contracts. She created an amazing spreadsheet and budget showing when all payments were due. Any questions I had were immediately addressed and resolved. I realized after the wedding that any worries I had were created in my mind because Carly had control of every detail!
My daughter was able to come out for a few days and Carly arranged a preview of all the table designs, floral designs, signage, as well as a menu tasting, and cake tasting. We even got hair and makeup scheduled in this tight time frame. All of this made my daughter feel that she was getting the wedding she wanted and dreamed of, even though she had so little time to put into the planning.
The execution on the day of the wedding was flawless! Even with the contact person at the venue changing several times in our months of planning, Carly had everything in order. The detailed timeline was a work of art-there is no other way to describe it!
All of the planning created a beautiful wedding and reception! I even think that somehow Carly ordered the beautiful December day. Now, almost 18 months later, people still tell me what a beautiful wedding it was and how much fun they had. Most importantly, the bride and groom got exactly what they wanted. To me, as the mother of the bride, that was the most important aspect and Carly certainly delivered.
I have another daughter and while I'm not pushing her to get engaged, I know that the first person I would contact to tell the news of the engagement would be Carly!
