Salt & Sparrow

vent and I felt mislead ultimately in my experience working with Amanda. Leading up to the wedding she was great, in the last two weeks everything took a turn. She did not follow up with vendors, she did not communicate in a timely manner (unlike all the other vendors), she did not follow through on certain things (said she would bring decor, totally ghosted on this) and she ended up causing a lot of stress in the week leading up because of all this. I thought OK, maybe she will make up for it during the wedding....Unfortunately I was wrong. We had 3 nights at our venue, all three of which she was supposed to be there to meet vendors / set up / help with lay out. All three nights, there was some excuse - flat tire, covid emergency, family illness. She ultimately showed up 15 minutes before the ceremony started. The assistant she sent was great, but she wasn't the person we had spent months talking to in preparation. We had a certain vision for certain things, and it ultimately didn't work out because SHE WASNT THERE. I can't tell you how upset this made me leading up the ceremony. Also in the take down, she said we would not have to do a thing the next day. Not true, the take down was a mess; luckily our friends and family were available to assist. The venue told us they had never seen a wedding planner leave the place as she had. The make up artist told me she worked a wedding with her in the past and it was the most chaotic wedding she had been apart of. She just wasn't there for us in the way we needed her to be. I feel bad because again, she's a lovely person. But when your paying good money for a service for a once in a life time event, you should know that ultimately, we felt disappointed with her services. I wish Amanda the best, but please be wary of who your getting into business with. In retrospect, I almost wish we had spent more money to get a planner the venue was more familiar with. Ultimately, we loved our wedding, but the experience with the planner left something to be desired.

ith my second dress and Amanda was ready and prepared to sew me into my dress, it was awesome. My mother said many times to me, during the wedding and after, that Salt & Sparrow made everything perfect. She had great communication with the other vendors and the location and was just lovely to work with. I highly highly recommend.

Most of all, she has an incredible eye for design. Amanda got my vision and was able to execute it. Everything looked absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She also does a great job of making sure your wedding is running on time!
