Planners on Retainer

eck-ins to make sure we weren’t forgetting anything, she truly made our wedding come together in the best way possible. We constantly got compliments about how well run things were, how meticulously planned out the details were, and how beautifully everything came together. From our own perspective as a couple, the POR team were always there to answer our questions and help us with the smallest of decisions to main vendor selection. They would bring options and do the heavy lifting; all we had to do was say yes/no! The actual wedding day went by so smoothly and she was working magic in the background; we barely even noticed because she gave us the ability to focus on the day and enjoy everything we had planned. So if you are looking for a planner that will bring a sense of professionalism and fun to your wedding planning and take all the stress away of making decisions, you can’t go wrong!

ent ran totally smoothly, and even where there were minor hiccups, Sarah-Jane fixed it before I could even ask for help. We would recommend POR a thousand times!!

so they all knew where to be and at what time. She basically took the reins and I didn't need to be involved unless she needed my input on something. It was very helpful because my anxious brain has trouble turning off! I knew I could trust her and the day of went by so smoothly.

tarted working with SJ it was like a weight lifted off of my shoulders. She and her team were dedicated to finding the right vendors for us, and everyone we worked with was amazing. SJ was incredibly patient, responsive, and supportive, and talked me down from many a ledge. Sarah-Jane made excellent suggestions that really made the day beautiful and we got so many compliments from our guests. She's truly an expert at her craft and I'm so grateful that we found her. I know that without her our wedding would have been nowhere near as amazing as it was.

available to support us from beginning to end. During the planning process, Sarah-Jane, Felicia, and Ciera were communicative, organized, and supportive. They recommended excellent vendors while also helping us to incorporate vendors that we desired. They are clearly knowledgeable and experienced with the ins and outs of the wedding planning process – from reviewing vendor contracts with a careful eye, making suggestions about important considerations with selecting venues and vendors, and so much more that we were unfamiliar with. We could comfortably rely on their expertise to guide us. Leading up to the wedding date, Ciera was an impeccable leader who was responsive, responsible, and caring as she organized the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and entire wedding day, with the additional support from Winnie too! With everything lined up and in place, the unpredictability of the weather made me feel nervous, but wow – Ciera and Winnie were flexible, made thoughtful decisions, and immediately took care of things that we didn’t have to think or stress about. We had planned for a mostly outdoor wedding, and with the magic of Ciera and Winnie, we were blessed to have a wedding that accommodated guests to move between indoors and outdoors seamlessly (as if that were the plan all along)! As another example, during the ceremony, we realized too late that we forgot to bring the cutting cake from home, and I was totally ok without one. When we entered the reception for the grand entrance, there I saw a cake, and later learned that Winnie ran out to the store to pick up a cake for us. It was moments like this like many others from the wedding weekend that exemplified how trusting we were with the POR team to seamlessly execute an incredible day and experience for us and our guests. In moments of feeling overwhelmed, Ciera and Winnie stepped out and helped me to feel calm and find joy in the day, which I was so grateful for. My family, bridal party, and guests were thrilled with the hard work and commitment of POR and they couldn’t stop raving about them too. Thank you for everything, POR. We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you!

r 100 guest! Sarah-Jane was professional, friendly, responsive, and listened to our wishes and executed. Don't hesitate to book her!

new we would need full wedding planning services and someone we could fully trust and work well with. Sarah-Jane is INCREDIBLE! From the moment we talked to her on the phone to hear about her services we loved her professionalism, vibe and interest in working alongside us to create the wedding of our dreams. She was very communicative, prompt and clear in deadlines and any information she needed. She provided excellent vendors! They were all superb and provided the services we wanted and more. Sarah-Jane worked behind the scenes to coordinate meetings with vendors, ask follow up questions for us and reviewed contracts ahead of us to ensure all was in line. We also got to work with the lovely Ciera who helped us in so many ways! From securing a rehearsal dinner location, finalizing invoices well before the wedding and being present and hands on the day of our wedding, we really loved working with her. On our wedding day there were a couple of unexpected things that came up, but Sarah-Jane and Ciera promptly resolved all issues before we even knew there was a potential problem. Our wedding day ran smoothly and was the literally the best day of our lives. Our guests laughed and danced the night away. It was a day we will never forget and we sincerely appreciate Planners on Retainer as they helped our vision become a beautiful reality. I HIGHLY recommend using Planners on Retainer for your wedding or other planning needs. Thank you Planners on Retainer! We appreciate you so much Sarah-Jane and Ciera!

rofession, there is no way for you to know all of the specifics and nuances to planning a wonderful wedding. That is where Sarah Jane came in. She was the ultimate professional. From the very beginning she asked all of the pertinent questions and more. Many things I had not even considered prior to her mentioning. The planning process with Sarah Jane was great. She is super responsive, and her attitude was always pleasant and helpful. She listened fully to all of my thoughts and weighed in with her expertise. She provided very thoughtful insight to all aspects of the wedding. Additionally, she gave great vendor recommendations. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist so it was a relief to not have to worry about the quality of their work. On the actual wedding day, she functioned like a well-oiled machine who made sure that everything was handled and that I, as mother of the bride, did not have to concern myself with the details and could fully enjoy my daughter's day.

family wedding.

e perfect day.

r vendor. I know that when working with them I'm guaranteed to receive payment and SIGNED contracts on time.

ust amazing. Our guests kept asking how we were able to put it all together and it was all thanks to the amazing POR team!!

gs and they truly raved about their professionalism and how seamless the wedding planning was using them. I will continue to use their services as well as refer them whenever I can. Sarah-Jane and her team get it right.

nner

with other vendors, she will help make your day everything you dreamed of. She is an absolute joy to work with and we can't wait to work with her again. :)

und that a lot of things were already taken care of and it took a lot of stress off of us as we prepared for one of the most important days of our lives. Sarah-Jane and are team were on top of everything! Our wedding day was truly magical and everything went perfectly! I would highly recommend Planners on Retainer. They are extremely professional and working with a team of experienced planners is worth every penny! We selected the full-service planning, but probably should have gone with the month-of service. Either package you select, you can't go wrong! My husband and I were definitely satisfied with the professionalism and quality of service provided by Sarah-Jane and her team.

to plan the wedding even though we were 3,000 miles away! Planners on Retainer connected us to amazing vendors and did a great job coordinating vendor visits when we were in town. After two years of planning, we are especially grateful that Felicia closely worked with us as we made many adjustments to safely host our wedding. Everything on our wedding day was absolutely gorgeous!!! We highly recommend Planners on Retainer to have the wedding of your dreams!

day!

of the way. Our wedding was an incredible celebration of over 200 people, many of whom told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The day of our wedding felt more relaxing than even most regular days, because we knew Planners on Retainer had everything under control. I truly cannot stress how happy we are with the decision to hire them, and we would do it all over again!

ing day and wonderful process!

r clothes for the hotel. Her day of wedding timeline kept everything running smoothly. She was always available to answer emails, text, and phone calls. I highly recommend Planners on Retainer, the value far exceeds the amount you spend for her services. Thank you Sarah-Jane for all that you and your team did to ease the stress on our big day. You can really see that she absolutely loves what she does!

ll know how much skill it takes to manage the event details with care and grace throughout the day. Your assistance and quick solutions made my floral set shine. Thank you, thank you!
