Hiring Sarah as our wedding planner was the BEST decision we made for our special day. She beautifully executed our wedding vision with utmost grace, attentiveness, care, efficiency, persistence, patience, expertise, and positive energy at all... times. Sarah kept everything on track from the months leading up to the wedding to the wedding day itself with a comprehensive, constantly updated timeline and to-do list that had every detail and due date accounted for. Even though I (as the bride) am a pretty organized person, it was tremendously helpful having Sarah there to regularly remind my husband and I of outstanding items to work on piece by piece throughout the wedding planning journey. Sarah provided practical guidelines on how to keep our event as safe as possible during a pandemic, came up with the coolest idea of using ribbon wands for the ceremony recessional (especially when the venue was not the biggest fan of confetti), and acted as a wise sounding board to bounce ideas off of and seek general advice from. My husband and I also appreciated her insightful guidance on vendor selection, vendor negotiation during calls, tip etiquette, and more. She helped us swiftly order, stamp, and mail invitations under a condensed time frame while double-checking guests’ addresses for accuracy. Sarah truly went above and beyond for us. A few days before our wedding, Sarah picked up our wedding items (favors, programs, welcome bags, signage, balloons, etc.) to make our trip to the venue much lighter and more manageable. Sarah is extremely detail-oriented and thinks of everything (such as setting up reserved signs for the ceremony, bringing a copy of the invitation suite for getting ready photos, mounting our vows on card stock, and letting us borrow her cake knife and server)! We are so thankful for all of her essential reminders (such as what to pack for the wedding and to remember to bring extra cake home!). Sarah even allotted a few extra days for us to finish writing our vows just before the wedding to allow maximum time for our “creative juices to flow”!
It is clear that Sarah pours her heart and soul into all that she does and deeply cares about the well-being of couples she works with. On our wedding day, she not only checked in on the groom to ensure he had everything he needed, but she also provided lavender aromatherapy to help me, as the bride, relax in preparation for the big day’s events. Sarah remains calm and composed under pressure, is incredibly responsive via email and text messages, and is so flexible that she can quickly adjust the wedding timeline to ensure the day goes smoothly in the event anything unexpected occurs.
We could not have selected a more brilliant, thoughtful, supportive, compassionate, considerate, and talented wedding planner to partner with on this event-planning journey. In the process, Sarah also became a bridal advocate and trusted friend to confide in on a daily basis and on the wedding day itself. All of the vendors we worked with LOVED Sarah as well and appreciated collaborating with such an organized, proactive, upbeat, professional, and friendly person. Just as an orchestra conductor leads a symphony of various instruments and musicians, Sarah gracefully directs vendors, the couple, and the wedding party to play their respective parts in the planning process and wedding day timeline, ultimately creating a harmonious, magical event to remember.
