Sara is the best wedding planner! She kept us on track, helped us plan, gave us options when we weren’t sure, and was so enjoyable to work with. She’s super organized and thought of all the details. I really appreciated that she was with us from the beginning to end of our wedding, and I could not have imagined her not being there. She really loves what she does and handled all the communications and logistics with our vendors. This was our best wedding investment hands down, whether your wedding is big or small. You will not regret it.
Sara’s professionalism and attention to detail were invaluable as our Month-of Coordinator. She created meticulous timelines, worked seamlessly with vendors, and ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding day.
Her ability to handle challenges—like timeline delays and even helping to swap our hotel room mid-reception—was remarkable. While we only used her for Month-of services, her insights and expertise make her full or partial planning services well worth considering. Sara is an absolute rockstar!
Sara was THE BEST. I was super anxious the month of our wedding with ironing out details and making sure the everything would run smoothly on the day. She is totally the reason we were calm and able to have such a beautifully smooth day. She dealt with small changes that came up like it was no big deal and never once made us feel bad. The day was a DREAM and truly was all thanks to Sara. She was always adamant that it was OUR day and we should do what makes us happy.
Any questions?
I truly do not know what we would have done without Sara helping with coordination a month before our wedding. She set up weekly check-ins the month before and helped us think through certain aspects of our timeline. She is incredibly organized and was on top of vendor management. There are so many details that she handled that we didn't need to think or worry about. Sara was setting up our reception, packing stuff up for us at the reception, moving my husband's belongings from one room to another. We also had to navigate a hotel strike and working with Sara calmed our nerves about the entire situation. We really appreciated her bank of knowledge that she leaned on to help us have a successful wedding. I highly recommend Sara, she was such a delight to work with!
Sara was amazing during our wedding planning and as our day of coordinator. She was extremely organized during the whole process, kept us on track day of, and took care of everything we asked and more! She was easy to work with and extremely helpful. Would highly recommend her for any event planning needs!
Working with Sara as our month-of wedding coordinator was an absolute dream and truly transformed our wedding experience at The Connors Center. From the moment she came on board, she ensured everything ran smoothly and took so much weight off our shoulders. Her attention to detail, expertise, and calming presence made all the difference in bringing our vision to life.
Sara’s support during our weekly check-ins was invaluable. She kept us organized, reassured us we were on track, and always provided thoughtful guidance whenever we needed it. She went above and beyond, visiting the venue with us ahead of time, joining calls with vendors, and offering spot-on recommendations for every aspect of the wedding.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Sara made the final stretch completely stress-free. She handled all communication with vendors, ensuring everything was aligned, and offered expert advice on timelines, drawing from her wealth of experience to guide us on what would work best for our day. From setup to takedown, Sara flawlessly managed every detail behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.
Thanks to Sara, our wedding day unfolded perfectly. If you’re a couple looking to enjoy the excitement leading up to your wedding without worrying about logistics, we couldn’t recommend Sara more. She is simply the best!
We hired Sara for the "day of coordination" for our wedding 7/14/24 and had a great experience! She provided a lot more then day of help - Sara met with me over zoom 1x per week for the 4 weeks leading up the wedding, created a detailed timeline for the whole day, made sure to understand my set up vision, took over corresponding with my vendors, and just generally was around for any random questions or odds and ends in final phase. On the day of she was professional, friendly, and attentive. She helped with the set up, sticking to timeline, giving out tips, and generally was always working the background keeping her distance just enough so we could fully enjoy the day but I could find her if I needed anything. It was important to me to not have to think about much on the day of and Sara certainly helped me achieve that goal! I would definitely recommend her service.
Sara was an incredible help while I was planning my backyard wedding, taking a huge load of stress off my shoulders. She handled all the little details that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. The day went by so beautifully, and she was always there, making sure everything ran smoothly. I absolutely loved how my wedding turned out, and thanks to her, I felt much less stressed throughout the whole process. If you're planning a backyard wedding, I highly recommend hiring Sara as your wedding planner!
We loved working with Sara. She’s organized and she thinks of everything. All communication leading up to the day was easy, and she had all of our vendors lined up and ready to go. Our wedding was less traditional and she embraced all the weirdness with an open heart. If you need a day of coordinator, Sara is your girl!!
Sara was absolutely incredible! Our vow renewal went so perfectly thanks to her careful planning and guidance. She asked us great questions and helped us think of every detail during the month leading up to our event. She was so helpful in checking in with our vendors. Once I introduced her to each vendor, she connected with them and took care of all the details and coordination and I didn’t have to worry about it - such a huge help and relief! On the day of, Sara was so helpful making sure everyone got what they needed and the event flowed according to our schedule. I absolutely cannot recommend Sara highly enough! Working with her was the best decision we made!
Sara was incredible! She worked with us for the month preceding our wedding and coordinated the day-of. During the preparation phase, Sara helped keep us on track and was key in negotiations with other vendors. During our actual wedding, Sara's excellent attention to detail and organizational skills brought the day together. We cannot thank her enough! Highly recommend for any couple seeking a wedding planner in the Boston area.
I seriously cannot recommend Sara enough!! We had an intimate backyard wedding at my in laws house and decided to hire Sara for the month of planning services. I wanted my in laws to enjoy the day and to not feel like they’re hosting, and Sara took such a weight off our shoulders. I was able to get my hair and makeup done at the hotel room and not worry about the decorations getting set up right or leaving someone else to handle the vendors. Throughout the entire time planning process she eased our stress and made us feel so comfortable, we seriously had the most perfect day thanks to her! Would highly recommended booking Sara for your special day!!
Sara provided excellent support in the month leading up to our wedding. From the very first meeting, she put us at ease with her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality. With her help, we felt at ease going into the big day, ensuring that nothing was overlooked.
On the day of the wedding, Sara was an absolute lifesaver. She orchestrated everything seamlessly, with a calm, collected presence, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without a single worry. We could not have asked for a better coordinator.
Thank you, Sara, for an unforgettable day!!!
Sara was phenomenal! My husband and I had less than 6 months to plan a small, 30-person wedding. Despite the small size, we had two venues and many needy guests. Sara was instrumental in coordinating everything to get us over the finish line, especially since we were working with informal connections and very few formal vendors. Most importantly, she handled everything from schedule, to guest emotional outburst management, to babysitting toddlers, to weather adjustments throughout the big day. She made the day run without a hitch so I didn't have to focus on anything other than making memories! Best price for the best service in town :)
We had an outstanding experience with Sarah as our wedding coordinator this past spring. From beginning to end, Sarah ensured our celebration was completely stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy our time with family and friends.
What truly set Sarah apart was her exceptional organization. Every timeline was flawlessly executed, and each vendor was perfectly coordinated. Sarah’s meticulous attention to detail kept everything running smoothly, enabling us to savor every moment of our special day without a hint of worry.
Sarah’s dedication and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and We can't recommend her services enough!
Thank you, Sarah, for making our vision come to life!
We loved working with Sara! She kept us very organized at every step. She is very professional and really listened to our wants and needs. On our wedding day Sara was there to keep everything organized and on schedule which was so helpful for us. Leading up to the wedding we had weekly zoom calls to go over all of the little details that made our day so special. We would highly recommend Sara for any party, wedding, get together or event that you might have.
Sara was an absolute all-star!! We were admittedly a bit stressed on the days leading up to our big weekend and Sara helped make sure everything ran incredibly smoothly. She was excellent interacting with every vendor and anyone wedding adjacent associated with logistics. There was no task too big or small that Sara wasn't able to take ownership of so we be fully present to enjoy every moment of our wedding.
Many friends said that "something will go wrong" during the wedding and to stay calm - I can honestly say that we DID NOT have any of those moments during our wedding and Sara was a HUGE part of the reason why.
We can't recommend Sara highly enough!! She will go above and beyond and help make your wedding exceed your wildest dreams!!
We used Sara for our "Month of Coordination" and she was so worth it. We weren't going to use a wedding planner but she helped us stay in track and helped us pace ourself through all of the things that needed to get done the month of a wedding. My entire (very small) bridal party lives out of state and Sara was kind enough to join me at my final bridal fitting and learned how to bustle my dress. On the day of she decorated our venue and managed all of the vendors which prevented a lot of stress on the day of our special day. We would 100% recommend using Sara for your wedding.
Sara was phenomenal! She was on top of everything from the get go and her communication and understanding were amazing. She dove right in the day of the ceremony (5/4/24) and she took charge of all aspects. If there were any problems or issues we were totally unaware. She handled everything. Thank you Sara!
Sara was exactly what we were looking for in a month of coordinator. She was timely in her responses, and attentive to detail. If anything went wrong on our wedding day... we had no idea. Sara took care of everything! We highly recommend her for your parties and events.
I couldn't be happier with Sara as our wedding coordinator. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured every aspect of our special day was flawless. Sara's responsiveness was exceptional, making communication smooth and stress-free. She not only understood our vision but also knew how to bring it to life, surpassing our expectations. Sara consistently went the extra mile, making our wedding an unforgettable experience - at one point in the night, we realized that there was something we had left back in our hotel room, and without skipping a beat, Sara jumped up, asked for our room key, and sprinted back to the hotel to retrieve it for us. Five stars without a doubt! We loved working with you XO!
We hired Sara for month-of planning and she was a huge help! We had weekly meetings where she created a timeline and helped us stay on track with tasks. She coordinated the rehearsal and made sure that everything ran really smoothly for the ceremony. It was so great having her there for the wedding day - she made sure everything was taken care of and setup the place cards, centerpieces, guestbook and card tables. She communicated with us throughout the wedding day about important details and it made us feel confident that everything was going perfectly! We would definitely recommend hiring Sara for any wedding planning needs!
We hired Sara to help coordinate our wedding day (more like wedding month) and she was AMAZING. From day one of meeting her, she was professional, kind, savvy, and thought of all the small, important details I wouldn’t have remembered myself. We scheduled weekly check ins the month leading up to the wedding, she helped coordinate and communicate with all of our vendors, and she made our wedding day flow so smoothly. We wouldn’t have had such a successful day without her. She even went as far as helping drive us to our after party which she did not have to do (lol)! She went out of her way to make our day perfect. Thank you Sara for everything, we would love to work with you in the future and would recommend you for any special event :)
Sara was a joy to work with, and we're so grateful to have had her as our month-of wedding planner. Sara went above and beyond supporting us the month of our wedding. She was a big participant in weekly Zoom meetings with us, our parents, the catering company... and more individuals on our wedding team. She was available via email, text, and phone call whenever we needed her help, and she was extremely responsive when changes came up. Sara was super willing to dive into our project management software and use it to create her own itinerary which she made accessible for all individuals involved in the wedding. She jumped right in and took over the communication with vendors. Even more importantly, Sara brought a calm and organized energy into our wedding celebration, exactly what we hoped for in our wedding planner. She surpassed our expectations in making our celebration go seamlessly, and we were able to fully enjoy our day and be totally present because Sara handled everything for us! I would highly, highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for help in their planning process. I was definitely the type of bride who thought she could do it all and had it all organized ;) and I am SO happy we decided to bring Sara on a few months before our wedding. We couldn't have done it without her!
I hired Sara as a month of planner for my wedding! It was a unique venue because it was at a family property, so vendors were doing everything to turn it into a wedding venue. Sara got in touch with vendors, made a timeline and came to visit the property so she knew what she was dealing with. She thought of things that I didn’t and really kept everything moving smoothly! The day of I was not worried about a thing because I knew she had it all handled. She was seriously there for whatever I needed!
Sara was amazing and I would recommend her to everyone!!
Sara is fantastic at what she does. I had her plan my bachelorette party to Charleston, South Carolina. She got to know my likes and interests and asked about what others in the party would like to see and do. She had all the reservations and activities scheduled. The day before departure, a hurricane was headed straight to Charleston. It did not faze Sara. She planned an entire weekend in another city without hesitation. She came up with things to do and see and you never would have known that it was not the original destination. It was a wonderful time. She’s a true professional.
I also had Sara plan my bridal shower. She took the theme that I liked and executed it beautifully. She took input and suggestions from my mom and created a wonderful event. The menu was perfect and fit a garden tea theme. She handled the day of and worked with the restaurant and guests. I did not have to be involved at all. I had told her I didn’t want to play any games at my shower, and she helped make that happen for me. She also was super organized while opening presents and helped make the thank note process easy. Overall, having Sara plan an event for you takes the stress out of the event. You simply do not have to worry about a thing!
Sara planned not one but two bachelorette parties for me. Initially, she organized a fantastic weekend in Newport, RI, arranging a full weekend of activities for a large group, including attending the Newport Folk Festival. Unfortunately, due to Covid, the weekend had to be canceled. Sara took care of all the logistics of canceling everything and getting everyone their refunds.
Once things opened again, she planned a more intimate bachelorette weekend in Boston. Sara arranged for a yacht with a captain and crew to take us around the Boston Harbor Islands. She also organized brunch and a spa day. It was the perfect balance of fun and relaxation.
As stressful and uncertain as everything was during Covid, if it weren’t for Sara and her stellar organization and management, I would not have even done a bachelorette party. She listened to all my ideas, dialed into what was most important, took feedback and suggestions from all the ladies on the trip, balanced many personalities, and made it easy for everybody.
Sara was exceptional land made my bachelorette weekend one to remember. She took all of my preferences and tailored the weekend to fit my personality. She came up with many different and fun ideas for us to do in the Hudson Valley. We had a big group, with girls living all over the east coast, which made it more complicated to plan with many moving parts, but thanks to Sara the weekend went smoothly. The itinerary was perfect, and she even built in time for all of us to recharge. Thanks to her, all of the girls had an amazing experience. Sara was incredible to work with from her prompt response time to incredible execution. She made my bachelorette party extra special.
