I highly, highly recommend booking Sarah as your day of coordinator. She was truly a lifesaver the day of our wedding. Whether she was on her hands and knees scrubbing the dirt off my dress or fixing my shoe when it broke, I never once felt stressed because she took care of it all. Not to mention, our wedding day went SO smoothly. So many guests complimented us on the overall “flow” of our entire day and that was all thanks to Sarah and her many years of experience. She is so knowledgeable and was able to provide us with great advice and ideas that I never would’ve thought of throughout the wedding planning process. I was very stressed out a few months leading up to our wedding, but I immediately felt at ease after Sarah and I’s first conversation. I promise booking Sarah will be the best decision you make when planning your wedding!!!
Sarah was the best money we spent in the whole wedding planning process. Before the big day she helped us put together a timeline for our big day and coordinated with all our vendors to confirm our details with them. There was even an issue with a vendor that I didn't even know came up because she was able to find a solution quickly. She helped run the rehearsal seamlessly. Day of our wedding, Sarah was there to manage anything that possibly came up and helped us communicate with vendors, wedding party members, and family. She made sure I did not have to worry about anything, and my bridal party and mom were able to relax and spend the day with me. I could not recommend Heppily Ever After more!!
Sarah was awesome. I'm so glad we worked with her, and could thank her endlessly for everything she did leading up to and during our wedding. She was so supportive, had such fantastic presence (grounding, fun, funny, and kind), and really took the pressure off of us to remember what the heck was going on. Instrumental!! We are both very laid back, and she kept things going without ever once making us feel like there was a schedule. Magic. I also got the sense that if you want somebody to be a drill sergeant about your day-of schedule, she's absolutely capable of matching whatever energy you need. Overall, Sarah was organized, responsive, resourceful, experienced, and genuinely great to work with!
Sarah was amazing. We hired her for month of planning and as a bride it was SO nice having someone in the industry to bounce ideas off of and make sure things made sense, after all I’ve never planned a wedding and this isn’t her first rodeo so her advice was super helpful. I even called her a few times before our month of planning started and she was happy to help. Leading up to the day of she checked in with all our vendors, had an extremely detailed timeline and decor placement list and took care of a lot of last minute stuff for us. Originally we were going to pay our venue to set up our decor / centerpieces since we had a room flip after the ceremony and take down all the decor at the end of the night but Sarah took care of that all on top of being our point person day of. I highly recommend her, she alleviated so much stress and was worth every penny.
Sarah was absolutely amazing! The day would not have run smoothly without her. My husband and I had debated for quite a while about whether we would get a coordinator or not. We finally decided to go with a day-of coordinator. Heppily Ever After got excellent reviews from people so we contacted Sarah and we booked her. She set up everything, made sure we kept to our established timeline, and cleaned up afterwards. We were very impressed and very grateful for all she did. We 100% recommend that you go with Heppily Ever After.
The best decision I made while trying to coordinate a wedding in the middle of pandemic and working long hours was hiring Sarah Heppe. She was proactive with her communications and her timeline creation/suggestions helped ease my anxiety about the big day. She provided the timeline to all my vendors. Sarah showed up to my rehearsal and walked us through what to expect. She even ran to get us toilet paper when the house we were renting was running low. On the day of the event, she was organized and extremely helpful. She coordinate all the setup and take down. She packed up all our table décor and took care of the tips for vendors. She also made sure the day's events ran on time. A total lifesaver. Plus, she is extremely sweet. If you are questioning hiring a coordinator, this is a must. Hire Sarah, she is awesome!
Let me tell you about THE BEST DECISION WE MADE for our wedding day!!
Sarah is not only the kindest and most thoughtful person, she was so dedicated to every big and tiny detail of our big day. There was literally not one thing that was brought up to us or was a concern the day of our wedding because Sarah was there to handle it all! From holding my extremely heavy bouquet (a lot), to helping create our perfect timeline to fit all our needs and vendors,to corralling our bridal party and 2 little groomsmen, to making sure the bride and groom always had a beverage if we needed it, to cleaning up and organizing all our decor at the end of the night! I could go on and on how amazing our day went because of Sarah, and how wonderful it was for our guests, parents and bridal party because of her!
100000/10 if you’re looking for a planner/coordinator you NEED SARAH!!
Sarah is a Godsend. I could not have made it through wedding planning without her. I had her as a month of coordinator, but I was planning for two years and anytime I reached out to her she made sure I could call her and vent and she’d calm me down and help me work through it. She went so above and beyond the day of and night before. She let us fill her car with décor, her and her assistant Katie set everything up exactly how it was needed, she kept everyone organized, she handled tips for us, and she moderated with all the other vendors. I have zero regrets on the money spent, she is worth every penny for her service!!!
Sarah was AMAZING! She was such a help all the way through with timeline and keeping us on schedule. The bridal party was running a tad late so she offered to do bridesmaid hair, she gave up her cardigan so I wouldn’t have to sit on a wet bench for a photo, made sure I ate and drank water throughout the day, and did an amazing job at organizing the sparkler tunnel. I’m honestly not sure how the day would have gone without her. She is such a blessing to have at your wedding.
When first planning my wedding, I initially didn’t know what the duties of a day-of coordinator were , but I knew I wanted a little extra help. Once working with Sarah from Heppily Ever After, I am SO glad I booked her services. She helped keep me on track and organized, which was incredibly helpful. Day of, Sarah was by my side helping me stay on timeline and taking care of the details. After my wedding I had multiple people tell me how helpful and nice Sarah was. I couldn’t have done it without her!
Sarah Heppe was a constant support system for my wife & I throughout our TWO weddings due to COVID-19! She kept in contact for planning through video chats, organized emails & spread sheets, and the weekend of she was a rock! We would recommend her to anyone in Wisconsin.
She was there for us every step of the way! Made my stress level go down so much. Was supportive and knew what she was doing.
I cannot say enough good things about Heppily Ever After! We were on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator for our wedding, but it was by far the best decision we made! From the second we booked with HEA, Sarah made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She thought of every possible catastrophe, every tiny detail, and how she was able to keep our wedding straight is beyond me! She knew our plans better than I did and she executed them to perfection! Sarah was so much more than a day-of coordinator for us and she helped us manage vendors, coordinate details for about a month leading up to the wedding, she ensured our timeline was adhered to, managed small disasters on the day-of, helped with set up and takedown, controlled music for us, this list could go on forever. She was truly my fairy godmother! I cannot recommend Heppily Ever After enough! If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, I'm telling you to just do it. It was the best decision ever, and Sarah was so kind and worked with our very tight budget. She is the best!
She was incredible to work with! I have gotten numerous compliments about how smoothly my wedding went, it was all thanks to Sarah! She was my go to if anything needed to be done! I also can’t tell you how many people asked for her information at our wedding! She has a great personality! She thought of things I wouldn’t have even considered that helped my day go off without a hitch! Highly recommend her, I had no worries or concerns on my wedding day!!
Where do I even begin with how amazing Sarah is. First of all, she is AFFORDABLE. For anyone planning a wedding, this is huge. But, she is so much more. She is kind and down to earth. She has been in the business for many years and knows what she is doing. Even as a very "type A" organized person, I missed some small details that she was on top of. She kept me calm and had advice for me on everything.
Due to COVID-19, we had A LOT of extra stress. She always had ideas or an answer for me. Our wedding changed last minute and we had 13 days to pull off a whole new wedding. She was calm and accommodating and even traveled extra for us. She did all my decorating for me with the help of a few cousins and made the place BEAUTIFUL. She made sure the day ran smoothly and I had nothing to worry about. It was the most relaxing day knowing everything was being taken care of. I knew I was in good hands. She received so many compliments from family and friends throughout the night and she deserves every amount of credit. I would not have survived the day without her (or the months leading up to the wedding!)
She is so much more than a "day of coordinator". She became a friend who helped me pull off the most important day of my life.
Sarah made our day go so much smoother! She helped us create our timeline and helped with everything we were missing. Or pointed out things we never even thought about.
She has amazing suggestions and always very helpful! Our day would not have went as smoothly if it wasn’t for her! I am very thankful we had her!
I was on the fence of hiring a wedding coordinator but I'm so glad I did. Sarah was absolutely amazing and worked so hard to make our day go as planned. She made a detailed timeline of our day and sent it to all of the vendors so we were all on the same page. The week of she took care of final details with the vendors. She made sure to keep us on schedule the day of our wedding and helped with so many little details so our family and friends could enjoy the day. She even helped put roses and candles in our room at the end of the night. I highly recommend working with Sarah!
Sarah was an integral part to making our wedding day magical and perfect! Whenever we had a question leading up to the wedding, she would make herself available. She was able to join in on conversations with our vendors and ensured everyone knew where to go, when. We would definitely recommend her for anyone planning a wedding. There were so many on the spot moments where things were missing or didn’t go as planned and Sarah would jump in and handle them so we didn’t have anything to worry about. All of this allowed us to enjoy our day with no stress.
After a lot of thinking we decided we needed to hire a day-of coordinator. I had done most of the planning for our wedding but I had no one to execute my plans. I am so so so happy we found Sarah.
She immediately took charge and our family instantly took to her, and she put the entire wedding party at ease. She completely eliminated any confusion. Little issues with the venue popped up throughout the day and Sarah just took care of it. There was literally nothing I had to worry about it was amazing. She was completely invaluable to every single aspect of our day. I don’t know what we would have done without her, but I do know that if she hadn’t been there to take care of everything it would have been a very stressful day. I was able to soak up every moment of my day because I was completely sure that everything was taken care of.
She went above and beyond from the second we chatted and I knew I could reach out to her about anything at any time. She was organized, patient and sooo knowledgeable.
If you’re considering a planner or even a day of coordinator, my husband and I would highly recommend Heppily Ever After.
We can not thank Heppily Ever After more! Sarah was such a calming force on our wedding day and made sure everything ran more than efficiently. She was incredibly organized, patient, and helpful with us every step of the way. We felt Sarah went way above and beyond her duty of Day-Of Coordinator. She was reachable anytime we had a question, always had helpful tips or tricks for us to use, and had incredible knowledge about the wedding industry and the best way to go about things during the wedding and reception. THANK YOU AGAIN! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.
Wonderful to work with! Would recommend to anyone getting married!
Sarah is by far the best!!! She is very detail oriented and professional! She does her job with passion and puts her whole heart into it! Having her as a wedding planner completely helped reduce any stress you may have and she really allows you to focus on the importance of enjoying your special day! Her attention to detail and her ability to just take care of your every need is exactly what you will need through the planning process and on the wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone she truly is a rockstar and your special day will be even more perfect with her help!
