Events By Sorrell

From the moment we first met Sorrell she had a positive attitude and we could tell that she was willing to take on anything we threw at her (and she did so with a smile). We could not have pulled off the amazing wedding that we did without the help of Sorrell and her team. The best part about Sorrell is that she handles everything with kindness and grace. She makes all of her difficult tasks look easy and effortless. Sorrell was not able to make it to our event day of because she took us on as last minute clients, but that did not stop her from working with us. Sorrell sent her husband, Jeff, and assistant, Melanie, to be there on the day of our wedding. Melanie and Jeff did such an amazing job making sure everything went perfectly the day of. I am so happy that we decided to work with Events by Sorrell for our wedding! We could not have imagined the day to be any better. Thank you so much to Sorrell, Jeff, Melanie and the rest of the team for all of your hard work!

oughout the whole process. On the day of our wedding she effortlessly took care of everything, even in the pouring rain! Sorrell and her husband Jeff made our wedding day absolutely beautiful, fun, and carefree for myself and my husband. They truly went above and beyond. We can't thank her enough!

work with. She has a wonderful personality and is easy to talk to and work with. I highly recommend her services.

ation and she was always responsive via email, which I appreciated because I had a lot of questions (first time bride over here) and needed the guidance. She even coordinated borrowing a vintage Land Rover for the ceremony which was very cool! That said, the day of my rehearsal Sorrell was late because she had a hair appointment that ran over. We were all at the ceremony site and waiting for her when she arrived. The actual rehearsal felt a bit messy, possibly because she was a little out of sorts after rushing to get to us. She forgot what time my ceremony started and also started lining up a ton of family members to formally walk down the aisle when we had already discussed everyone being on site and ready when my dad, MOH, and I pulled up to walk down the aisle. After the rehearsal Sorrell had to sprint (literally) into the venue to start setting up for the dinner, which I felt should have been done before we even started. We had an awkward hour of people rushing around to set up tables, them not being set up correctly, the incorrect candles being used, the runner I bought not being cut to the right length or tied off, not to mention my family jumping in to help Sorrell move everything around. I held it together, but really wanted to say something. Ultimately, it was the guests, the venue, and the food that saved the night so I can't really complain. But the experience made me nervous for how she'd execute my wedding the next day and I was upset she did not even apologize for what happened. I totally understand things happen, but as someone who has worked in customer service for over 10 years, I really value when people own up to things like this, and I might not even be writing this review if she had pulled me aside to talk to me. The ceremony and reception ended up going beautifully and Sorrell even threw in some decorations that I didn't bring. That said there were still a few minor hiccups. She sent me, my dad, and my MOH in a vehicle up to the ceremony site before everyone was in place and ready for us. People were scrambling to get seated and in place as we pulled up. My husband said he didn't even see us pulling up. The tables were again not exact to my layout and I had to tell Sorrell this right before my ceremony. Also, because she used the wrong candles the night before she had to fill in with mismatching candles on the tables. Not a huge deal, but as a bride I worked really hard on the details of my wedding and wanted things to look a certain way. There were also candles that weren't lit. Like I said before, my wedding really was perfect. The venue, the food, the people. It was a dream I wish I could do all over again. Maybe Sorrell was having an off day because I know she prides herself in her work. I just wish she had been a bit more professional when it came to my wedding.

inking she had a plan and team in place to make my wedding table dreams come true! Sorrell is organized, pleasant, calm, and has a great eye...very important qualities for the person running your special day. We highly recommend her. Thank you Sorrell and team!

sources. Day of, she was a gem. She went above and beyond for my girls and I. She even got us some pedialite so we were game day ready. She and her team have a way to stay tucked away while conducting the entire day. It’s truly magic. Thank you Sorrell and co! It’s a day Nate and I will never forget.

hings done. Sorrell is experienced and has strong relationships with many vendors in the New England area, so she knew exactly what we needed and who to contact so we could have it. Because we live in MO, most of our planning was done from distance and Sorrell was always available and quick to respond. Sorrell was also a pleasure to met in person, she has great energy and always on the top of her game. Sorrell cared so much that we felt like she was part of the family. Sorrell, thanks for making everything perfect for our special day!

n and work within your budget. As mother of the bride, all of us including, my daughter, her fiancé, mother of the groom, Sorrell and I, began planning 9 months before the wedding. We met according to Sorrell’s well detailed timeline to prepare for a Sept wedding. She produced remarkable picture story boards with updates as needed, in vivid detail to help us communicate on the details. She was invaluable in every respect including the management and contact with all vendors. We had an especially challenging wedding day moving from the church to a cabin on a hill with only a hose for water. On a strict budget, she brought a dream wedding for my daughter & fiancé- Tent, kitchen, parking attendants, electricity, lights, decorations, flowers, dinner, music & dancing & laughter! It was as if ‘Brigadoon’ came alive on this hilltop after asleep for one hundred years. She was ready for all kinds of contingencies. One special rescue: My daughter’s dress was too long/ shortened it with rescue safety pins!!! It brought such smiles to my daughter’s eyes in that nervous moment. It was a seamless day thanks to her planning and creative thinking. She works tirelessly behind the scenes all those 9 months, the week before the wedding. And, on that special day brought harmony and joy. First Class! Five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Invite Sorrell to help plan your wedding.

mfortable taking the lead on our venue search, but due to essentially miscommunication and perhaps bad timing, we saw just one venue with Sorrell in the two months that we worked together. We understood we would likely need to upgrade to a fuller level of service as we were ready to rely on Sorrell for a lot of our wedding planning and design, but I felt that we accomplished so little together that we ended up terminating our initial contract. I do think it's worth sharing that, when we cancelled our contract with Sorrell, we were asked to sign a non-disparagement agreement before we could get a portion of our deposit back. It felt wrong to be asked to sign another agreement after terminating services and she confirmed it was not legally required. I was excited to work with Sorrell based on the reviews here and it is frustrating to find out they may be censored by non-disparagement agreements.

ong relationships with vendors in the area, and know exactly who I needed to hire and what we needed for the day. Sorrell was that and more! I can’t imagine all of the details I would have overlooked if I didn’t have her help and guidance. She did an amazing job helping our wedding come to life, and really emphasized making sure things ran smoothly on the wedding day. I would highly recommend Events by Sorrell for your wedding planning and coordinating! Thank you Sorrell for everything!

eware”. Sorrell was my most challenging vendor I worked with throughout the wedding planning process despite hiring her to ease some of the wedding planning stress, she did just the opposite. Just a few examples: 1. Our first meeting – she didn’t show after my parents driving 3 + hours to meet her. She got a flat tire and sent a message at the time we were supposed to meet (with my parents with me waiting). 2. Rentals – after confirming a rental (an essential part of our ceremony) from Sorrell multiple times, she later advised she the specific rental was not in good shape and couldn’t be used. Leaving us to scramble for another rental. 3. Day of planner – left the wedding around 10pm …. our wedding went to 12:30pm. It just seemed inherent that a Day of planner would stay to the end of the night? She missed the sparkler send-off…. Which unfortunately we didn’t have enough lighters to light the sparklers. A planner would have been a good person to have at that moment, right? 4. She left after haphazerdly tossing out the late night snacks. At the end of the night I randomly met up with my mother by the snacks to find the individually wrapped cookies thrown onto our display. My mom was pissed we spent a lot of money on those cookies! 5. The biggie! She kept messing up the photo check list…. I sent her the list of people in each family photo group. I think her ability to copy/paste is nonexistent. On the wedding day the photographer ultimately utilized Sorrel’s photo list – which caused me to make adjustments throughout the family taking process. I could go on… ...but....honestly, please beware. Of every single vendor I used on our wedding day. Sorrel was by far the most challenging to work with.

t to know! After our first face-to-face design meeting, my now husband and I, knew we had made the best decision we could have made for our wedding planning and day of coordination. Events By Sorrell is an absolute must have for New England weddings.

est decision we possibly could have made was to hire Sorrell. She helped us to streamline the process and went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. She didn’t bat an eye when we had to move our ceremony location to a completely new venue with only weeks to spare! I was completely stress free on the day of our wedding, and this was all thanks to Sorrell and her incredibly positive attitude and insane attention to detail. I promise you this will be the best money you spend!

hen I had time to reflect after the wedding, I realized how important it was for her to not let me see her stressed under the circumstances so I wouldn’t stress. The stress we had was due to another vendor not pulling its own weight and Sorrell was happy to step up and go the extra mile to get the job done. She had a great attitude the entire weekend. Sorrell and her team worked very hard to pull off our wedding weekend and I would highly recommend her services! Sorrell is someone you can rely on to be there for you on the big day. She also has a lot of experience and pointers! I got a lot of helpful tips throughout the planning process even though we didn’t pay for her planning services. Follow her Instagram to see the beautiful work she had done – both day of coordination as well as full event planning. If I could do it all over again, I definitely would have used her planning services as well as day of coordination.

able but then later told me she would actually be attending her friends wedding and would send her assistant for an additional fee. I found working with Sorrell difficult. When we received the "proposal" for decor, not only was is completely out of budget, but the layout for the venue was completely wrong. I wasted a lot of time emailing back and forth to ultimately decide not to work with Sorrell. If you're looking for a wedding planner, I would [seriously] consider someone else.

be with so much information out there. Calling Sorrell was the best thing I did and from day one of meeting Sorrell, I knew our wedding was in excellent hands! Sorrell’s encouraging and personal approach to wedding planning ensured our special day incorporated all of the important aspects we were looking for – elegance, seamless coordination, and best-of beauty and service for our guests. In the countless decision you have to make as a bride, Sorrell guided us through tough budgetary decisions, finding vendors who could execute our complex vision to sheer excellence (we had a secret garden theme), and the sometimes difficult to navigate familial dynamics of our guests. Her ability to be our advocate, trusted advisor, and confidante was bar-none! Sorrell becomes more than your wedding planner, she becomes your friend in some of the most intimate moments of your life! We can’t imagine what our wedding would have been without her expertise and guidance. During our wedding day, we knew we were in excellent hands knowing that Sorrell was taking care of all of the details so that we could focus on the occasion and be in the moment. She truly is also, just the nicest person you will ever work with and has the experience and talent to make your wedding beyond what you could have imagined! To this day, our guests are still amazed at how seamlessly the events were conducted and the attention to all of the details for them. Sorrell ensures that everything your guests see, hear, and do are thought of throughout the entire planning process. Most of all, Sorrell helped me to stay prioritized, organized, and sane! We look forward to working with Sorrell again for other events in our lives and I can’t recommend her enough to future couples!

s and caught on to my theme quickly. Our personalities meshed well together and she was happy to go along with anything I wanted. She also even brought a few items of her own to use and didn't charge me rental fees which was great since everyone in the wedding industry likes to do that. I love that her husband came along with her to help out too. He was very nice. I would recommend her.

with and made our day wonderful!

e star of the show!" So, I contacted Sorrell and she totally understood my wedding plan and gave me wonderful advice for some of the details. I hired her for the "Day of" and it was the BEST THING I DID! She is amazing at making sure my plan remained the way I wanted it and that my guests were enjoying themselves. I sent her pictures of how I wanted all the tables to look on wedding day and she made sure they looked the same way! She helped me out with my apps for cocktail hour and made and emergency beer run. Events by Sorrell really tied my perfect day up. She hit the details I overlooked and she made sure I didn't have to worry about anything. THANK YOU!!!!

cial care she takes to ensure that your day of celebration is successful is exceptional.
