Sarah was a clear standout from all the planners we met. My initial impression of her was that she was warm, kind, and professional. She didn’t expect us to have every detail figured out and was incredibly welcoming from our very first conversation.
We hired Sarah as a full-time planner, and she was always available to text, email, or chat about anything and everything. I still wanted some independence when it came to design choices, and she was very respectful of that. She is extremely organized and always came prepared—asking the best questions during vendor meetings. She also served as the main point of contact for all our vendors, which took a huge weight off our shoulders.
Since we’re currently out of state but wanted our wedding in Massachusetts, Sarah went above and beyond for us. She visited all the venues we were interested in and sent us videos so we could make informed decisions from afar.
I met Sarah in person for the first time on our wedding day, and immediately noticed how sweet and endearing she truly is. She exudes grace and came fully prepared with everything we could possibly need. Even though she had never worked with our venue before and the weather was unpredictable, she remained calm and composed throughout.
Since we didn’t do a rehearsal, the bridal party and I felt a bit lost—like herding blind sheep! But Sarah handled it like a pro. She was always exactly where we needed her to be. Her team member Nicole was also incredible—my dress straps broke from dancing, and Nicole stitched them back good as new.
I truly could not have done this without Sarah. This is your sign: book her now!

Sarah was the best wedding coordinator, the one that every couple wishes to have on their wedding day. We hired her for the whole wedding coordination/process around a year ago and she was our right hand for the entire year up to the end of our wedding day on Nov 9, 2024. We had meetings around once a month and she was very responsive via email and text when we had questions. She brought to life our vision, created a design board, helped us a lot to find the right vendors, communicated and worked with them until the last hour of the wedding. She was also very resourceful and even helped in little details before the ceremony such as when my wedding dress got a little dirty, she had everything to save the day in her bag to the point that my dad called it her "magic bag", she had from markers of the right colors to tide to go.
We cannot be more grateful with Sarah because without her, we would not have been able to bring our dream wedding to reality. Organize a wedding is very stressful and overwhelming and we felt that way many times but Sarah was always reassuring us that she was going to be there to help us with everything and she really did!
We recommend Sarah in a heartbeat. Hiring her is the best decision that any couple can do.
Any questions?

We hired Sarah as our day-of coordinator for our wedding on 9/14/24. She went above and beyond our expectations. Since our venue was DIY, there were many different vendors and moving pieces, but Sarah pulled everything together flawlessly.
Leading up to the wedding, many of our vendors heard from Sarah and received a detailed schedule of our wedding day without us ever knowing about it. She also helped facilitate final Zoom calls with our photographer, band, flowers, etc.
On the actual day of, Sarah checked in with us frequently and kept us on (and even ahead) of schedule the entire day. She also handled a medical emergency with one of our guests perfectly by rearranging parent-child dances and providing clear communication that the guest was ok and that we would continue the reception.
All this is to say that Sarah was the best decision we made - she took a huge weight off our shoulders in the weeks leading up to the wedding and allowed us to fully enjoy our day while she made sure everything went to plan.

Sarah was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding exactly what we envisioned. We originally planned on having no day of coordinator however repeatedly realized throughout the weeks leading up and on day of that we would not have been able to do it without Sarah. She was very responsive during the planning process and brought professionalism and expertise to any questions or concerns we had. She had a plethora of tips and advice on how to make wedding day go smoothly down to the perfect dip at the end of the aisle. She paid such close attention to detail and perfectly executed our decorations for rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. She is so organized that our weekend was stress free from arrival to departure. We would recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone!! We would give her more than 5 stars if we could.

Sarah will be the best addition to your wedding day. I truly do not know what I would have done without her! She is easy to communicate with, organized, and calm. She took so much off my plate with communicating with vendors, helping with last minute details, and keeping everyone on schedule the day of. She ran our wedding day timeline seamlessly. Sarah helped make our day absolutely perfect in a major way and I am so grateful we had her.

What a joy it was to work with Sarah! My husband and I gave her only 10 days notice to plan our “elopement “ and she came through. She turned our idea of a simple backyard ceremony into a tasteful and beautiful celebration. Her attention to detail was amazing. We highly recommend Sarah and Rosewood Premiere Events, she is a true professional.

We can't recommend Rosewood Premier Events highly enough. Sarah consistently went above and beyond to help us. She kept us on track and on schedule. She had excellent suggestions when we were floundering. She handled vendor communication and lots of other tasks, which greatly reduced our anxiety throughout the whole process. She gracefully coordinated everything on our wedding day so that we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
Most importantly, she was kind and fun to work with from day one.
Our wedding went off without a hitch, and Sarah is the main reason why. Working with her was by far the best decision we made during our wedding planning process!
Thank you, Sarah!! - Tom and Sofy

My husband and I were married in August and worked with Sarah as our day of coordinator. She was an absolute rockstar, and in retrospect one of my regrets from the wedding is that we didn’t hire her earlier to plan the full thing.
From our initial conversation, Sarah was highly organized, communicative, thoughtful, and clear about how she could support. Because this was her first Indian wedding, she took a deep dive on all the ceremony elements and cadence of the day to bring herself up to speed. (This was very impressive to us bc other vendors glossed over not having Indian wedding experience.)
From the time we started engaging with her more heavily (a little over a month out) we were so impressed. She planned our day of flow, helped us problem solve timing and vendor issues, and took on outreach to vendors so we could have a seamless wedding day. She also went the extra mile so many times — making sure we were not stressed or bothered with logistics on the wedding day and even helping us out at 2 am on our wedding night. If it helps paint a picture of how on top of the wedding she was, my friend told her she’d book her for her own wedding pending finding a fiancé first!
You don’t even have to think about it - if you’re thinking to work with Sarah, you’ll have a great experience.
