There are not enough words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Sydney! We hired her to help with our wedding as our day-of coordinator and wow, she is simply the best. From the very beginning, she was responsive and reached out about 6 weeks ahead to pull together details, contacted our vendors to put together a timeline and help simplify the coordination. On our wedding weekend, she wrangled our family and friends together to make our rehearsal easier. She took the ideas I had for our decor and set up the most beautiful ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces that looked way better than I could have ever dreamed up. I’m SO thankful to Sydney for making sure our wedding day went on flawlessly (and if anything went sideways, we had no idea). I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator for any event!!

If you are looking for someone who will stay on top of all the details for your event then you want Sydney! Sydney was the wedding planner for our son’s wedding. Her attention to the details, communication with vendors, regular meetings with the bride & groom, visits to the wedding site for the best layout and catering set up, everything was so professionally done. As the mother of the groom I was able to completely relax and enjoy my son and daughter-in-law’s special day. I can’t say enough good things about Sydney. She goes above and beyond. She was such a blessing to us!!

We truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for Sydney. From day one, she was organized, responsive, creative, and somehow always two steps ahead. Every detail ...
of our wedding — from the timeline to the tiny personal touches was handled with care and excellence.
She helped take our vision and turn it into something even better than we imagined. The day-of execution was flawless, and we actually got to relax and enjoy the day knowing everything was under control. She had meetings with us where she thought of everything, she handled our vendor communication and was there to help us with ANYTHING we needed following up and day of. There were a lot of people involved and she handled it all with such kindness and professionalism.
Thank you, Sydney, for helping us pull off the most incredible day of our lives. You’re a rockstar!

She made sure I had my morning coffee before getting my makeup done, and she had a thoughtfully curated box filled with all the wedding day essentials. Sydney’s work was invaluable in ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. We are so grateful for her excellent service and highly recommend Events by Sydney to any couple planning their wedding.
