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!

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.

e 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!

hat 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.
