Hiring Samantha and Plan Our Day for full wedding planning was one of the best decisions we made! Our work schedules did not allow a lot of time to plan a wedding in another state,...
and Samantha made the process so easy and stress-free. Samantha helped us figure out how to incorporate both of our cultural traditions into our wedding seamlessly and helped us hone in on our design vision for the day. On our wedding day, the power went out at our venue an hour before our ceremony and didn’t come back on! Samantha worked with our vendors to compress our timeline to include many key moments before we had to leave the venue at about 8pm: cocktail hour, full dinner service (by candlelight!), first dance/parent dances, our outfit change, toasts, and cake cutting! She also worked to find a bar with space for a large after party so that we did not have to cut our night short, even if things looked significantly different than we had imagined. Without her there is no way we would have been able to readjust our timeline and pivot to having an after party so quickly. Her professional management of the situation kept our stress levels as minimal as possible. Thanks to her, we can truly say that despite the challenges we can look back on our wedding as a beautiful day and fun memory instead of a total disaster. If you need a wedding planner, there is no better choice than Samantha!
As a fellow wedding vendor, I love having the opportunity to work with Samantha and her clients. She has planned some of my favorite events in my 10 years. Samantha has a fantastic...
eye for style, creativity and special touches that are so memorable.
If you need a wedding coordinator…you have found her!! Samantha is absolutely amazing. I interviewed so many different coordinators. As soon as I finished my meeting with Samantha,...
I knew I wanted to work with her. She was the only one that I felt was genuinely interested in helping me and what I wanted on our day. When it came to planning the wedding, she was always quick to answer all my questions (there were many), gave me plenty options of vendors, and talked through everything with us. The program she uses helped organize everything from budget to addresses to designing ideas to vendors to schedules and more. As we got closer to the wedding she was so helpful with talking to vendors. She took away so much stress. Then on the wedding weekend, everything went so smoothly because of Samantha and her team. Every vendor knew exactly what to do. Everything was organized and set up perfectly. If I needed anything, she was right there. I seriously can’t say enough good things about plan our day!!
Samantha is amazing! I am the kind of person who has planned their wedding since they were three, and did not think I needed/wanted a wedding planner. Due to the size and living ha...
lf way around the world, I was convinced to do a 'final touches' package by my mom. Plan Our Day is the only company I found that had a planning session upon hiring, and was willing to answer questions via email throughout the whole year. Once we got 12 weeks away, Samantha stepped in and started handling a lot of the logistics/coordination/correspondence with vendors. She even came to extra meetings with our church, gracefully ran our rehearsal, and made the day of as seamless as could be. She is down to earth, has an assured, calm presence, and the exact person you want to guide your day. I am so grateful to her and her assistant, for her helpfulness throughout the whole process, going above and beyond our package, creating last minute add ons, updating the place settings through the morning of (Thanks Omicron), and her expertise in every detail of this whole process. We wouldn't have had this success without you!!
If you are questioning hiring Plan Our Day- do not hesitate! Samantha (Lead Planner and Owner) was impeccable. She went to all my important appointments with me and answered any qu...
estions in a clear precise way that everyone understood. She handled the logistics of the wedding day perfectly, which made me feel completely at ease. On my wedding day I had no worries at all. I knew that Samantha and her team has everything under control.
I did have a lot of input and we collaborated together well- I had a specific vision and Samantha was the perfect partner to execute it. If I had any qualms, Samantha would be there and give me great reasoning and solutions.
Please do yourself a favor and hire Samantha. You will not be sorry!
Why stress on your wedding day?
Many brides have told me wedding planners can be godsends. To be honest, I cannot speak on the quality of the wedding planning service by Plan Our...
Day as I did not elect to have this for my wedding. We wanted a crew to coordinate the wedding day itself, so that we did not have to. And by golly, I am so glad we did! Things happened when they should and the best kind of the service is the kind you don't see and it just happens!
Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart. It seems like a million moving pieces in this modern age. With COVID and the pandemic, this has been challenged even further. I have planned and planned this darn thing since 2018.
We met with Samantha way back when to go over our big picture ideas regarding the wedding and bullet points we deemed important to us. She set us up with with a wedding planning software (which was amazing!) and we coordinated through this website to make our way through the planning process. She went with us to the wedding venue and even participated in our casual rehearsal. You get more than what you pay for for the wedding coordination package with this crew! She is there to make your wedding vision come to life. Communicate communicate communicate!! She has a calming presence and truly helped smooth out all the nerves and anxiety throughout our chaotic but amazing day.
Our wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more, and Samantha and her team are a large part of it.
Samantha is incredible! I booked Samantha after having worked with two other wedding coordinators (covid bride problems). She helped us quickly pull together a wedding in Houston a...
fter cancelling a large wedding in the Northeast. I did not want for anything the day of my wedding. Samantha is incredible calm and organized. She was a perfect match for my anxiety! We received so many compliments on how smoothly the wedding went. Not a hair, flower, or decoration was out of place thanks to her and her assistant's hard work! I highly recommend her!
Samantha was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing! The whole process ran very smoothly. My emails were answered in less than 24 hours which made communication very easy and ...
consistent. The last month leading up to our wedding day, I didn't have to worry about much. She contacted all my vendors to gather arrival times and to make sure everything was ready for wedding day. She organized the timeline accordingly and I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything went on my wedding day. I can honestly say everything went according to plan, and if it didn't, Samantha did a great job with fixing it. Trust me, you NEED a wedding coordinator. I was one of those people who thought I can do it all by myself but these are things you don't want to worry about leading up to/on your wedding day! Highly recommend!!
I had my wedding back in Oct 2019 and still rave about Plan Our Day. I can't thank Julie and her assistant enough for making my wedding day flawless. POD has extremely fair "day of...
coordination" which if I did not get there would be NO way my wedding could have go on. Julie and her team did all the decoration/setting up exactly how I wanted it and I didn't have to lift a finger. It was surreal to see everything come to life exactly how I wanted it thanks to them. Julie were super attentive to my husband and I the entire night and made us feel like royalty. Thanks POD!!
Samantha is an outstanding coordinator. She was involved in everything from the moment we went with her and she helped provide great professional options for items I had no idea ho...
w to plan. She is way more than a month of coordinator and am so thankful for her help keeping me organized and sane throughout the year leading up to the wedding.
Samantha from Plan our Day, is exceptional! My daughter’s wedding was perfect thanks to Samantha and her staff. She is punctual, articulate kind and easy going not to mention calm!...
Her vendor list for floral, DJ etc served us well. The wedding day was flawless due to her expertise! I would not hesitate to recommend Plan Our Day to anyone. I was able to thoroughly enjoy my daughters wedding day because of Samantha. Cannot thank her enough. Her prices are reasonable for all the effort and service she provides. It was money well spent!
When I first started, I thought I could do this all without a planner and wow was I wrong. Natalie, knew the Texas & Vail/Beaver Creek market (in Colorado) and made our DESTINATION...
wedding a breeze. Even if we had decided on a Houston wedding having a planner would have been necessary. I had ZERO clue how much they do. Natalie helped me negotiate ALL my contracts, kept everything in order/on time/on schedule, suggested different vendors, or would search for the perfect match, communicated with everyone and SAVED us TONS of money!!! Seriously, GET A PLANNER they help they give is PRICELESS. I literally could go on forever, but just trust me, a wedding planner is a MUST.
This company is also the BEST, the owner even offered to help me & go on some interviews with vendors I had in Houston (while my planner in Colorado would call in for everything) just to help make me comfortable with this process. Plan Our Day Houston always goes above and beyond and makes this whole process easy, fun, and treats their clients like family by putting you number one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Samantha was absolutely amazing! Hiring a wedding planner for our big day was the very first thing we did, and I'm so glad we did it! She helped walk us through every step of the p...
rocess, and was always there when we needed her! Her advice and planning made everything so easy, and I can't imagine having planned this wedding without her! On our wedding day, she made sure everything went perfectly, and we had so many compliments from our guests that because everything was so put together and going so smoothly, it was the best wedding they'd ever been to! She was familiar with all our vendors already (having helped us make our decisions on them), and worked with them flawlessly to make our day seamless! Hiring Plan Our Day Houston was the best thing I could have done for my wedding, I'd highly recommend it!!
If you're on the fence between Samantha and someone else (or Samantha and not getting a wedding planner) hire her and don't look back. It is 100% worth the money. I spent a lot of ...
time and met several wedding planners in person before I decided to hire Samantha. I'm a lawyer with a busy and sometimes unpredictable schedule, so I needed someone I could trust to handle details I didn't have time to pay attention to. I also wanted someone I felt would respect my budget, and Samantha definitely did that. She was wonderful the whole year leading up to the wedding. We met about once a month and she was great at listening to my ideas then keeping me on track so that the wedding didn't become too scatterbrained. When we started meeting with vendors, more than one went out of the way to tell me how wonderful Samantha was and how she would be fantastic keeping the show running day of. Samantha adjusted to however busy I was, so if I wanted to handle conversations with vendors she stayed in the loop, but when I decided I didn't want to/couldn't handle the details anymore she would jump in and get things done. In the weeks leading up to the wedding we talked more frequently and she was a calm and steady presence as I decided whether to rent heaters, tents, fans (yay Houston weather) and generally freaked out about everything getting done. As various industry veterans had told me, Samantha kept the ships running on the day of the wedding. I had no idea when vendors were supposed to arrive or who was bringing what and it was perfect that way. All I had to do was show up at the venue and Samantha took care of everything else. When I walked in I had an issue with some of the decor and Samantha immediately handled it. She got the vendor back to make adjustments and sent me to the bridal suite and told me not to think about it again. The next time I came out, the problem was solved. The night before the wedding I loaded up Samatha's car with all my personal touches and she and her team set everything up the way I would have done it myself. When the wedding was over she packed up all my stuff and made sure my mother-in-law had everything to take back to our house. I can't say enough good things, but the take away is if you hire Samantha you will have the wedding you dreamed of, you will have someone to lean on while you plan that wedding, and then the day your wedding comes you will actually get to enjoy it.
Our wedding day would not have been the same without Samantha and Plan Our Day. Samantha did a fabulous job coordinating with all of our vendors and I didn’t have to worry about an...
ything except having a great time with my bridesmaids getting ready. During our first look photos, the bottom of my lace dress got muddy due to the photographer’s placement. Samantha’s assistants worked tirelessly to get the mud out and because of them, my dress looked perfect when I walked down the aisle. I still have no idea if anything went wrong on my wedding day - Samantha’s team handled it all from start to finish!
Our wedding day went off without a hitch and we couldn't have done it without Samantha! Samantha helped us with the day-of details and coordination and worked flawlessly with our v...
endors to make sure they were on the same page and did the entire set up for the reception. It was a BEAUTIFUL set up and the reception truly was incredible. We’ve heard nothing but great things from our family and all our guests about the wedding and we owe a ton to Samantha! As my husband says - "she's the bomb.com"
Samantha and her assistant, Julia, were phenomenal! From the first phone conversation we had, I knew that our wedding day would be perfect. Our wedding had quite a few logistics wi...
th the ceremony at one location and the reception at a different location across town, but she made sure that everyone and everything was exactly where it needed to be! We honestly had so much fun at our wedding and were truly able to enjoy it because we knew Samantha had everything taken care of! Many of our guests and family members commented on how impressed they were with her! Both my husband and I agree that we don't know what we would have done without her!
Samantha was our day-of coordinator! She and her team were sooooo great! I loved that we could customize our own package to fit our needs... not a lot of people offer that at an af...
fordable price! Having her on our team for the big day was the best decision! Wedding day is such a blur and you never have any idea what’s going on! Samantha was always within eyesight, and kept the whole night on schedule. Making sure there was plenty of time for a dance party was my number 1 request and she MADE. IT. HAPPEN.
12/10 recommend her and her team!
My wedding would not have been the same without Samantha and her team. I hired her as a day of coordinator because my venue required one. She worked with me throughout the 7 months...
leading up to the wedding. Multiple emails, phone calls and even met up with me in person. She was able to suggest some fabulous vendors that I ended up using and kept me organized throughout the whole process. She made sure that everyone followed the timeline on the day of the wedding. She accounted for everyone (wedding party and vendors) and made sure everything ran smoothly. Most of all she made sure that myself and my husband were taken care of all day and if we needed anything at all, she was there. Her services were also very affordable. I cannot speak highly enough and recommend Plan our Day to everyone!!!
I worked with THE QUEEN OF PLANNING, Natalie. Y'all she is a DREAM! There was literally no task left undone. Natalie made sure to keep in constant contact with me and all of my ven...
dors. We planned everything down to the smallest detail like a breeze. She was always incredibly professional, very attentive and super sweet in the process. I couldn't imagine my big day without her. Any bride would be so blessed to have Natalie as their planner. THANK YOU, NATALIE! We love you!!
Samantha and her assistant, Julia, were amazing on my wedding day! We had last minute concerns due to the weather being an issue, but Samantha assured me things will work out. They...
both managed everything professionally (including my mother!) and stayed on top of everything! We had a beautiful wedding thanks to their coordination. Samantha is well known in the business so we had great vendors that worked all great together! Thank you so much Samantha and Julia - Melisa & Mario
Our wedding day was perfect! Samantha was a big part of that. She did a wonderful job of keeping everything, and everyone, on track and made our lives immensely easier!
Lesli .... my saving grace. I admittedly can be a little of a control freak and, as I wanted everything to be perfect for our daughter’s wedding, relinquishing that control was a ...
mind game. Lesli made it sooo much easier for me to just sit back and be a mom. She is genuine and it is obvious she not only knows her craft but is darn good at it. From wrangling the “littles” to wrangling the “bigs” ... and everything in between .... she is awesome. The comradery and respect she provided not only our family, but friends and guests as well, was deeply appreciated ... but the additional “I made it home safely” (it was foggy when we left) was, for this mom, comforting. She is that little someone that you didn’t realize you needed but couldn’t have imagined not having ... and I couldn’t be more grateful. Lesli, thank you for reminding me that dreams can come true ~~ you helped make Ben and Ashley’s materialize. As I told Jason and Christy .... Ronnie and I will always have a spot on the back porch swing for you and a chilled glass of wine. Thanks again ~~ for EVERYTHING 🥰
Having Lesli from the Plan Our Day team was beyond anything I could've asked for! She went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly and was even more beautiful than ...
my husband and I could even imagine. I loved being able to relax with my girls, and my husband do the same with his guys. Lesli was incredibly patient and responsive, generous with her time and talents, and SO attentive throughout the entire wedding day. You, and your wedding day, are in good hands with her!

Selecting Samantha and her team at Plan Our Day was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning! Though we chose her month-of coordination package, she truly went abo...
ve and beyond throughout the entire planning process (we had nearly an 18 month engagement) and was extremely helpful with vendor recommendations, tips about the process along the way and pointing out so many little details that weren't even on our radar. She was very responsive the entire process as well, which I really appreciated! In the last month and weeks leading up to the wedding, Samantha seamlessly took over all communication with our other vendors to ensure everyone was in the right place at the right time on our wedding day. Everything went perfectly that day, all thanks to Samantha and her amazing assistant Elizabeth - my entire family and bridal party remarked several times how attentive, helpful and professional they were. I would absolutely recommend other brides select Samantha and Plan Our Day to ensure their wedding goes off without a hitch. Thank you so much, Samantha!
So, I couldn’t of asked for a better engagement / wedding experience with Samantha and her team. When I contacted Samantha, I was probably 4-5 months pregnant with our second baby ...
(2 under 2), plus I was in my last semester of nursing school.
Samantha helped me through it all more than she’ll ever know. Being huge/pregnant, a 1 year old running around, and in nursing school, I pretty much was a little overwhelmed.
Samantha is so sweet, she included my son in every planning aspect, and also helped incorporate ways to include our new baby.
I was 3 months postpartum and breastfeeding on my wedding day. I was stress free. I actually was able to enjoy every aspect of that day. She helped keep me on track all day, and most importantly, stay calm lol
My husband and I are a great team when it comes to our crazy life, but looking back we both have no clue how we would of made it through that day without Samantha and her team.
Thanks for taking our confusion and wedding jitters and creating a clear vision for us. You set us on the right path and for that we are grateful. You are what we needed, thanks fo...
r listening.
Echo all of the other glowing reviews about Samantha and Plan Our Day. We are halfway through to our wedding date, and I am INCREDIBLY glad we invested in having Samantha’s guidan...
ce and horsepower to get us through the process. Working with her is like having a sister who really cares about your wedding, but also just happens to know how to handle vendor contracts, create spreadsheets to price compare, and pick out linen options that all somehow magically work. Samantha has been incredibly patient and responsive, and has gone above and beyond from day one to earn our trust and loyalty. She’s been generous with her time and availability, and made me feel like I have a true partner in this whole crazy wedding planning process. You’re in great hands with her!!!
Hiring Samantha and her team for day-of coordination was one of the best wedding planning decisions I made, and I wish I had made it sooner! She is incredibly organized, offers gre...

From the moment we chose Samantha to plan our wedding the stress was instantly relieved. We did the full planning package and I 100% recommend it. She took care of everything!! She...
went to every vendor meeting with us and even went to some with just my parents when I wasn’t able to go. I was in school and working while planning my wedding and she was so flexible when it came to setting up phone calls in the evenings and was so easy to get in touch with when I had a question or started to stress about things. She not only calmed me down but also took on whatever task I was stressing about. She really feels like a friend throughout this process (I will genuinely miss talking to her so frequently! lol). When it came to the day of, everything was perfect and exactly how I had imagined. If something went wrong I still have no idea and I am so glad that I didn’t have to worry about it! We were at three different locations on the day of the wedding for getting ready, the ceremony and the reception due to getting married at historical sites and Samantha handled the timeline and plan for the day of and it worked out perfectly. She even kept us on track during the reception! She completely set up the reception site too!! I didn’t even see it until our entrance into the reception and it was beautiful! I loved being able to completely relax and trust her on the day of. I was able to focus on hanging out with my girls and taking in all of the small moments instead of focusing on the details of the day. Samantha was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process and she will forever be a part of our wedding memories!!

l details for our wedding and she made sure everything was where it needed to be. In fact our wedding was so well run that many of our guests actually complimented that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. Having a day of planner was probably one of the best decisions we made! Thank you Samantha!
We hired Samantha as our partial wedding planner. They were professional in the beginning but quickly became very unprofessional when we did not just follow what they asked. It was...
like Samantha forgot this was our wedding her and her team are helping plan not their own. It felt like Samantha just wanted us to use the vendors she knew and not even bother doing the research to help us find the best under our budget. When we did our own research we found many great affordable vendors that were much cheaper than what Samantha was bringing forward with no research. She did have some good vendors do not get me wrong but we could have found them via our venues recommend list. We realized we should have just hired them for day of but even then the day of coordinator from their team did not know our floral or decor details . We often had to correct her on the day of. Also, there were some important details that she forgot to inform us on during the night which made the end of the night very hectic. Thank goodness for our amazing vendors, family and friends that helped. I would not recommend them.
I could not have asked for a better coordinator than Samantha! We selected her for our day-of coordinator, but she did so much more leading up to our wedding day. She had a one-on-...
one meeting with us to learn more about our style and helped us pick some vendors that we still needed. She always replied to my emails the same day; I never felt like I was just another customer with her. I was nervous about the timeline and if we would have enough time for all the pictures we wanted, but Samantha calmed my fears. The day of our wedding went perfectly. If there were any issues, I didn't know about them! Everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Plan Our Day to anyone who is looking for a day-of coordinator or full coordinator.
Ammmmmazing!!!!! I got married April 17, 2018. From the moment I decided to invest in “Plan Our Day” and trust them with my day of coordinating, I never had a doubt that I had mad...
e a great decision. Samantha was very friendly, warm, and professional. She made me feel very comfortable and she was so understanding with my vision and budget. She actually went over and beyond to make sure my day was beautiful. Thanks to her and her equally amazing assistant Jocelyn my wedding day was perfect!!!! I recommend them and you won’t regret a day spent planning with them!
They will absolutely exceed your expectations. They were on top of everything from contacting vendors and making sure everyone played their role, to making sure every detail was in place. Thank you both so much as you will always be apart of these memories.❤️
I cannot say enough good things about Samantha! I was hesitant at first to get a planner because my venue had a planner, but Samantha did so much more than I even knew I needed! I ...
always knew I could reach out with any questions and she kept me so organized (the planning website was a HUGE plus for me). When I arrived at the venue for the big day everything was in place and looked wonderful all due to her hard work and coordination of the vendors. In addition to all of that, she kept me sane during the whole wedding. I knew she was always available to me if I needed to ask a question about schedule and she even helped me keep track of my drink a couple of times! I am eternally grateful for her help and know that our wedding would not have been half as amazing without her.

us wedding gown, and the most delicious and flavorful barbecue with incredible service. Her recommendations were spot on, in line with our budget and working toward our vision. We hired her for final month planning, but I’ve seen her full scope of work and see how energized and creative she is. Plan Our Day and Samantha are people you can count on to execute your vision and to put beautiful finishing touches on it.

Everything was beyond perfect. I am really just speechless!! Natalie was flawless from beginning to end and really took the time to give me advice or even bring up things I didn’t ...
even think about. She was always one step ahead of me! From planning to rehearsal to day of everything was amazing. Natalie took charge and was so kind and listened to any questions Ashton and I had. We love her and would reccommend her to anyone!!!
I was thrilled with how our wedding day turned out. Everything was organized and I didn't have to worry about a thing!
I cannot imagine my wedding without Samantha! I hired her as a day of coordinator but I felt like she was so much more than that. She met with me multiple times through the planni...
ng process and even came to the wedding venue twice before the wedding to help me with decor. I loved that she was open to questions throughout my planning process; I definitely had a lot! The day of the wedding I had a issue with my bouquet, she took it apart and fixed it the way I wanted it. Both the rehearsal and the wedding ran without a hitch thanks to her. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Honestly, before I was engaged I hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator. Now, I cannot imagine going through it all without one.
For those budget brides: Yes, we were on a tight budget and this purchase is one of those that is totally worth it!!

Samantha was amazing to work with! Her calming presence is a relief on your wedding day! We had an unusual situation when we lost our reception venue due to Hurricane Harvey less t...
han two months before our wedding, and Samantha helped us reach out to other venues and scheduled tours for us during that stressful time. We were able to secure a new venue and she made the transition very smooth for us. If you are considering hiring a day of coordinator, do your future self a favor and do it, and go a step further by hiring Samantha. You won't regret it.
I am SO happy and thankful to have chosen Samantha and her team for day of coordination for our wedding!! From the moment I first called Samantha I felt a huge weight lifted off m...
y shoulders, knowing she would ensure our day ran smoothly, and that she did!!! Samantha is organized, professional and so sweet and friendly! She strikes the perfect balance between getting things done and feeling like a friend! I live out of state and Samantha was super accommodating of the times I would be in town to finalize our venue details, and really took the pressure off of me in the final week working all of the last minute details and delivery times with my vendors. She goes above and beyond what you would expect for day of coordination, and has several consultations with you leading up to the big day! It really allowed me to get to know her and to feel even more comfortable and calm. I was very particular about the decor for our wedding and Samantha made sure everything was set up EXACTLY how I had imagined and it was beyond perfect!!! She also worked so well with my other vendors and kept the night's events running perfectly smoothly. I can honestly say our wedding was the most fun I have ever had, and much of that I owe to Samantha and her team for allowing me to be stress free!! I never had to worry about the timeline, people being where they needed to be, or things being set up and ready for my guests; I was able to focus on my new husband, family, and friends and having the absolute time of my life in the gorgeous wedding she brought to life!!! Whether you need help throughout the planning process or with day of logistics, Samantha is your girl!!
We live in Alabama and earlier this year we started trying to plan a rehearsal dinner for a December wedding in Houston, TX. I searched for venues myself and for months was tot...
ally overwhelmed by the process. The BEST decision we made was our decision to hire Samantha. She has a tremendous work ethic combined with her use of current technology and networking skills allowed us to book our dream venue within weeks. Living in Houston gives her an advantage of knowing all the nuisances of the area. We also decided to enlist her help in other areas such as transportation, decorations, etc. and she is so prompt to respond with suggestions and ideas. Her high energy and fun spirit has been the icing on the cake!
Samantha was singularly the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding - she is simply a joy to work with! She struck a fine balance of making suggestions while let...
ting us make our own decisions. As a meeting professional, even I was amazed at her organization, professionalism, and knowledge. The day of the wedding itself, Samantha ensured that everything went perfectly smooth - we didn't have to worry about a thing! Simply put, if you don't hire Samantha, you're making the wrong decision!!
Oh my goodness... words cannot express how unbelievably wonderful Samantha Gieseke was for our wedding! Initially we had planned to have an almost 2 year engagement, but later deci...
ded to move the wedding up several months. Samantha was more than amenable, and she made everything work! Just TWO MONTHS before the wedding, our venue closed, and it was a June wedding... And wouldn't you know it, Samantha worked amazing magic and found us a venue that was so much better than the first for the exact same price. I don't know what I would have done without her-- she made the whole process easy and (mostly) stress free. When I had a falling out with my maid of honor, she made it work. When all of the vendors had to be alerted to the change of date and venue, she made it work. When my mother wanted to have a surprise performance at my wedding, she made it work. She always made herself available 24/7, and responded to my tons of texts and emails within the hour. She was extraordinarily patient and professional, and saw to every one of our wants and needs for our wedding. In the end, the event was absolutely magical. The only thing we had to do on the day was show up, get dressed, and try not to fall flat on our faces on the dance floor. Everything was so incredibly wonderful and perfect thanks to Samantha. I cannot praise her more highly and would recommend her to everyone!!! You MUST ask for Samantha for your wedding! You will not regret it! We love you, Samantha! I wanted to have another wedding right after just so we could do it all over again. :) We hope you're still doing this in ten years when we renew our vows!
