Monica was amazing! We had looked at 5 different event planners/coordinators from the Jackson Hole & surrounding areas. From the moment I chatted with Monica on the phone, we knew she was the one for us! Before we had even committed to Monica, ...she was already sending us ideas & vendor contact lists for our spooky themed wedding. She would let us mail decor & wedding stuff to her, which honestly was SUCH a huge help because we were driving up from LA and had max capacity in the car haha.
Prior to the wedding she let me text / email her any questions and her response time was always amazing. We ran into super slow responses from some of our other wedding vendors in JH so it was such a breath of fresh air to have our coordinator be so attentive. Our venue was pretty bad at communication in the months prior to the wedding. My mom passed years ago and we don't have any family who lives near us, so I planned everything on my own, and when the venue really dropped the ball on communication it was a heavy load to take solo. Without Monica I would have been in full panic mode. She was so cool and collected and took care of everything with our non responsive vendors. She was also super organized in following up with all of the missed emails from the venue.
I visited JH 2 times prior to the wedding, and she took the time to travel both times to meet with the Venue contacts and me as well. She and her husband are both super warm people who go above and beyond for you. They also were hosting a separate event for Wind River Brewing in Pinedale thanking the town for support through the pandemic, and invited us to attend. It was a great event and you can tell they just work superb as a team!
Planning a wedding long distance to Jackson Hole was very hard. Jackson Hole is slammed in general with weddings & almost every vendor collectively said they are understaffed in the times of abundant weddings + shortage of labor. I felt for all of them, but at the same time you only get married once & need stuff done. I think back to to all the phone calls I had with other coordinator/planners and was beyond grateful we went with Monica. Personality alone, she was the right blend of "get-it-done" but also so chill, which was everything we really needed throughout the process. Also, she is just a good human haha. Which is really important for event planning. I work in entertainment in LA and there are a lot of monsters who run event planning companies which is why I was hesitant to hire a planner at all. Monica was everything we needed in a planner and had the sweetest demeanor to match.
Both my husband and I got along great with her and enjoyed working with her throughout the process. She made our special day even more special and was a joy throughout the process. We were sad when it was all over to not get to work with her anymore haha. We got a surprise wedding gift from her and her husband and it was such a special touch.
All in all: Monica goes above and beyond and has a knack for detail & special touches. She is lovely to work with and her communication / response time, was the absolute best! (Which my takeaway as a bride was that communication is the most important thing). You will not be disappointed to go with Sacred Rim. More than that, if you are having a Wyoming (or surrounding area) wedding, based upon the experiences I had with other vendors, it would be a mistake to not go with Monica/ Sacred Rim!
