Sara Reynolds was the best investment we made for our daughter’s wedding. Sara was responsive to needs, mindful of preferences and a true professional. Thanks to Sara the entire we...
ekend went off with a single hiccup. From coordinating the reservations for out of town guests to weekly zoom meetings to make sure that every attention to detail was being met beyond the bride & groom’s expectations to being a liaison between our myriad of vendors, Sara somehow did it all. Not only did Sara alleviate all of the stress from hosting an almost 200 person event she gave us helpful tips on how to manage our budget and helped us save significantly with her insider tips and tricks. 15/10 would recommend. She is truly a five star professional
Sara is amazing! At first I didn't think I would need or want a planner, but I was so wrong! Sara was extremely helpful in sharing her years of experience to make my special day th...
at much more special. She is super organized and on top of everything, which was very appreciated when dealing with our venue and all of our vendors. She is there to make sure your needs and vision come first and not any of the vendors or venue. We also had to make a last minute switch for the ceremony to move inside because of rain, and she seamlessly recreated our outdoor ceremony experience inside. She also was super helpful when our live painting vendor had to cancel last minute to find a replacement. Sara's years of experience and vast network of vendors and contacts are invaluable. What I perhaps appreciate the most is that she stays in contact with you after your wedding to make sure you have what you need from your vendors (photos, video, left over decor from venue) to really be with you from start to finish. 100000/10 recommend!!!
For those with short attention spans: Sara is worth ABSOLUTELY EVERY PENNY YOU PAY HER, I THINK SHE UNDERCHARGES. She helped me (a very stressed bride with two young children, with...
two full time working fiances/parents) plan a beautiful wedding experience that I will cherish forever and look back on fondly.
Longer version:
I completely underestimated what it would take to plan a wedding successfully. I had a vague vision of what I wanted -- a weekend experience in the MD Eastern Shore for our closest friends and family, and Sara took the ball and RAN. She helped flesh out details I didn't even think about, and basically was my mentor/guide/coach through the whole experience. It is surprisingly stressful to plan such a big affair, and there is a lot of pressure for it to succeed. Sara had the technical expertise to plan a flawless experience; she coordinated with numerous vendors so that the wedding timeline was adhered to, she figured out last minute logistical challenges that I didn't foresee, and she connected with me numerous vendors and took the mental burden of who to research/check/vet off my plate.
On top of it all, Sara is a genuinely kind, warm, down-to-earth individual who understands how important this event is to you, your family, and your legacy/start as a family unit. She is an excellent planner, but also makes the numerous meetings go by quickly with her sense of humor and charm.
I cannot recommend Sara enough. She essentially is why my wedding turned out as well as it is.
I know that reviews can be hard to really sort through, and feel self-filtered, but really -- Sara is so so so worth having on your team. Please let this review at least convince you to reach out to her for a phone call/intake. I promise you won't regret it.
I don't think 5 stars is enough! Sara's support for our wedding made for the most amazing day.
When we first met with Sara about a year before our wedding we immediately knew that ...
we wanted to work with her. Sara equipped us with a year long task list of everything that we needed to get done for our wedding with target dates, which eliminated any questions on if we were in a good spot during the planning process.
Sara's check-ins were helpful to keep us on top of our responsibilities and kept her in the loop as well.
A few weeks before the wedding, Sara was on top of all of our final vendor requirements - providing every last detail to the vendors as needed.
Come wedding day, Sara's timeline made the day run as smooth as possible, and there was never a moment of disruption (as far as we know!). Everything from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception ran without a hitch, and when we returned to our hotel room at the end of the night all of the gifts, center pieces, and miscellaneous props from our night were already in our room, ensuring we didn't lift a finger gathering our remaining items from the ballroom.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail - when you choose Sara Reynolds to plan your wedding, you've already eliminated any possibility of failure.
THANK YOU!
Briana & James
Sara is absolutely amazing! She made our wedding weekend SPECTACULAR! From day one she will help you with every aspect of your wedding…she makes sure everything is done and keeps y...
ou on track! We loved everyone she recommended for our wedding, from the photographer to the caterer. She will take your wedding vision and bring it to life! She’s definitely part of our family now!
Our wedding experience with Sara Reynolds was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first consultation to the last dance, Sara demonstrated an unparalleled level of professional...
ism and expertise. Sara not only understood our vision but elevated & executed it to new heights. From the day we met Sara, she made the daunting to-do lists and endless decisions feel approachable and manageable. She thinks of things you would never have thought of and makes sure no detail is missed.
Sara truly excelled in the execution of our wedding. Despite facing unexpected challenges at the venue, she seamlessly resolved issue after issue, ensuring that we experienced the best day of our lives. Her ability to handle unforeseen circumstances with grace and efficiency was commendable. When you choose to work with Sara, you're not just hiring an event planner; you're entrusting someone with the expertise to make decisions on your behalf, when needed and someone who approaches every detail as if it were her own.
Working with Sara was one of my husband and I's best wedding decisions! As a 'Type A' bride I came to our first meeting with a vision and MANY questions. Sara helped to wrangle all...
of our ideas into a beautiful design book that served as our template for the entire planning process and a reference for all decision making. She took our ideas and found ways to further elevate them and most importantly, managed every single detail so we didn't have to worry about it. She always came with suggestions and so much prior experience to build on, I felt confident in every vendor she recommended and knew we'd be in good hands. Looking back on our wedding day, Sara and her team were ON and did not skip a beat. We had last minute weather decisions to make and she pulled everything together seamlessly for us. I couldn't imagine our special day without Sara's expert planning to pull it all off.
Hiring Sara was the best decision my husband and I made. I can't imagine the last year without her. She became a part of our family during the planning process. Not only is Sara SO...
knowledgeable, she is fun to work with, always open to ideas, super organized, and truly brings your vision to life. I already miss my meetings with Sara!! I am beyond lucky to know Sara and to have had the opportunity to work with her on my wedding.
Having a wedding at an outdoor venue like CBMM comes with its own set of challenges, and she made planning a breeze. I knew everything would go smoothly because she was involved. It was a huge weight off of our shoulders.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sara Reynolds during our October 28th, 2023 wedding. She was everything that we wanted and expected and more so. About a month out...
from the wedding we needed to push our wedding start time back by 1.5 hours due to a local event being rescheduled at the last minute to the day of our wedding that interfered with our wedding beginning at the previously determined start time. Sara leaped into action to touch base with all our vendors to re-confirm them for the new start time. Furthermore, due to the later start time we had to quickly design and hire a light vendor as the wedding ceremony was outside and would start after sundown.
She made the whole wedding planning process feel as simple and easy as it possibly could with all the last-minute changes. During the wedding day I felt little to no stress and had complete confidence in Sara that everything we had discussed and planned would go off without a hitch. If you’re looking for a wedding planner/ coordinator, look no further as Sara will ensure that your day is perfect.
Sara Reynolds is a LIFESAVER! We could not have had the perfect wedding we did, without her! From creating a design board that captured our vision, to making the day of flow seamle...
ssly, even with rain that came 30 minutes before the ceremony, she does it all! Sara allowed us to ask tons of questions and talked through various scenarios of the day. We were able to curate a day that screamed "us" and flowed exactly how we wanted. The day of proved to be challenging, as there was a big line of rain headed for us right at ceremony time. She came in with a plan, and made it all happen. Although we had to move everything inside, we still got all of our outdoor pictures that we wanted. The indoor ceremony and cocktail hour turned out to be beautiful, intimate and romantic! We still talk about how working with Sara was the best thing we could have done for ourselves! If you are looking for a professional and fun wedding planner who can get it done, and break it down on the dance floor with you, hire Sara!!
Hire Sara! My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Sara as our wedding planner. From the start, she created a detailed checklist and timeline for us which made the plannin...
g process a lot easier. We knew what we had to focus on for each month and the checklist kept us on track.
Sara is very experienced as a wedding planner and also has a great eye towards detail and design. We threw a lot of different ideas at her, and she was able to take all of that and boil it down to a cohesive design book in order to execute our vision.
Throughout the planning process, Sara was a pleasure to work with - she is funny, kind, and knows how to get the job done.
On our wedding weekend, Sara did an amazing job keeping things in order. My husband and I were really able to relax and enjoy the weekend, thanks to Sara. Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for (and more(, and Sara played a massive role in that!
We have nothing but good things to say about our wedding experience with Sara this past September and highly recommend her to any couple looking to get married. She made the diffi...
cult easy. There wasn’t a detail she missed, or stone left unturned leading up to our big day. She brilliantly navigated all the complexities that go along with arranging a wedding and communicated with us constantly to be sure we were all on the same page. Sara knows all the best vendors, locations, and positively turns your vision into reality. She was phenomenal about walking us through all our choices and keeping us on track as well through timely and firm but kind reminders. The day of our wedding was an absolute dream! We didn’t have a worry at all throughout the ceremony or reception. She kept the church on track, got me (bride) to the altar on time, and kept an abrasive over-eager church usher at bay. Her orchestration of the reception couldn’t have been better either. Everything ran like clockwork, and everyone had a wonderful time. Sara saw everything through from setup to tear down. Her detail-oriented nature covered down on things we didn’t even think about but were noticed and appreciated by us and our guests. Sara made our dream wedding come true and is absolutely fantastic, and you’ll have a delightful time working with her!
I cannot say enough nice things about Sara as a planner. I met her because she planned by brother's wedding during COVID and was a wizard at pivoting plans from a large venue weddi...
ng to a small backyard wedding. For me, we luckily didn't have too many hiccups. My venue was a blank canvas and I would not have been able to turn it into my vision without Sara. She helped me find vendors, vet them, and guide them to my vision. I change my mind A LOT and Sara was always gracious in offering different solutions to things. She also was super helpful at keeping us on budget and offered insights into the best places to cut costs. On top of all of the amazing contributions I already mentioned, Sara's biggest strength is EXECUTING. Our wedding day went off without a hitch because of Sara's ability to coordinate all of our vendors and her truly understanding our vision. We had a rainy day and had to move the location of our ceremony and cocktail hour day of. Sara was able to reorganize while still keeping me calm. Our wedding was beautiful with so many personal touches I wouldn't have thought of without Sara's inspiration and help. If you are having an Eastern Shore wedding, you need her!
Sara was exactly the reliable, knowledgeable, and spunky person I needed by my side while planning a wedding for 150 guests from a few states away! I am borderline obsessive about ...
details, and Sara not only answered my many, many questions about the most zoomed-in details, she really helped me zoom out and think more broadly about the overall experience we wanted for ourselves and our guests. She gave us confidence to cut out the "traditional" things that weren't actually meaningful to us and made sure we were fully prepared and on track for the things that did matter. In the final days leading up to our wedding, Sara helped us put out a few fires quickly, quietly, and with a sense of humor that matched our own. We had so much fun at our wedding and I felt surprisingly calm and present throughout the day, all thanks to Sara Reynolds!
Please do yourself a favor and hire Sara as your wedding planner. I hired her for full-service planning and design from the beginning of the wedding planning process. From our firs...
t conversation, I knew Sara was the planner for me. Before even signing a contract, she was helping answer questions on budgets and venues and her personable, honest approach made me comfortable to dive right into the process with her. While Sara has so many great qualities, the ones that stood out to me were her experience in planning, her eye for detail and design, and her ability to present other quality vendors to work with.
From the start, Sara made a planning timeline that was manageable for me when I was balancing an overfull professional and personal life. She helped prioritize the decision making by what was important to me and my husband and set monthly goals. If I happened to start missing any of the deadlines, Sara was on top of reaching out and nudging me along. Sara’s experience in event management really shined, however, when we had to reschedule the wedding twice due to covid and subsequent restrictions. The original wedding was May 2020 and Sara took a highly uncertain and stressful time and made rescheduling the entire wedding relatively painless for me. She coordinated with all the vendors and found dates that pretty much worked for everyone two different times over 2 years.
Sara was able to reschedule the wedding pretty easily as well because of the quality of the other vendors she knows and has worked with for several years. When making vendor decisions, Sara was able to present several quality vendors at different price points for every wedding need. She had either worked with them personally before or knew of their great reputations from others in the industry. This meant when it came to rescheduling, all the vendors were professional, responded quickly, and they all were able to keep their businesses going during the lockdown. I also felt like the wedding was highly executed because of how all the vendors worked together. We had last minute rain storms pop up right before our outdoor ceremony and it quickly became an indoor ceremony without a hitch. The DJ was set-up and the ceremony flowers and chairs were moved with minimal issues. Our whole wedding night was a blast with excellent food and service and our DJ kept the dance floor full.
Another way the wedding was excellently executed was in the overall feel and design of the wedding. Sara took a few vague wedding inspiration pictures, talked with me about some ideas I was thinking of, which happened to be more of I don’t like these colors and these designs, and put-together a design book I loved. I think we made two slight tweaks to the design book and I was good to go. She helped me focus on high impact items that fit my budget and talked me off the ledge of needing “all the wedding things” by really talking through items that no one was going to miss at the wedding. When I wasn’t liking any of the ready to print invitation suites on the large wedding websites, she helped find a great calligrapher/semi-custom invitation suite that felt truer to my wedding feel without having a fully custom price tag. My wedding had a cohesive, put-together look that I would never have been able to create without Sara’s help.
Ultimately, my wedding day is a day I wish I could live over and over again and that is largely due to Sara.
Sara is a superwoman!
I am a COVID bride with an original wedding date of May 2020, which was postponed not once, but twice -- and with a venue change, too. Throughout this whole ...
process, all my friends and family kept asking me how stressed I was about the rescheduling and COVID, and I honestly can say that I was NOT stressed, despite all the hiccups. And this is because of Sara -- she is insanely organized, great with keeping you in the loop, and has developed a fantastic network of vendors (not to mention incredibly sweet and easy to get along with). I barely lifted a finger beyond picking a rescheduled date (and then another date...), and Sara made sure every vendor was updated about the changes and on board without me having to coordinate anything. When I had to change venues relatively last minute, Sara knew what vibe I was lgoing for and recommended some fantastic options. I also went with her recommendations for vendors, and every one she recommended exceeded expectations. On the day of, because she had meticulously built a detailed schedule, every vendor showed up on time and we were even 30 minutes AHEAD of schedule. All this is to say, I can't imagine having anyone else plan my wedding, and if you get the chance, you should book Sara!
Sara is AMAZING! Despite COVID throwing us multiple curveballs and having to postpone our celebration three different times, Sara was an absolute rockstar and a constant throughout...
the past three years. She genuinely cares about her clients, which made the planning process extremely easy and fun. She was communicative and always there to answer my many questions. We were able to work together throughout the planning process, including on a detailed timeline for the day. I felt for comfortable on the day of because Sara's organizational skills and her thoughtfulness throughout the process.
Prior to her maternity leave, Sara collaborated with Rachel Abell, who coordinated our day-of celebration, to make sure we were all on the same page before our special day. Both ladies knocked it out of the park. They are knowledgeable about the wedding industry, knew exactly what questions to ask, and allowed us to completely unplug on the day of. I would absolutely recommend Sara (and Rachel) any day to any bride looking to plan their wedding.
SARA IS THE BEST!! I cannot put into words how incredible of a wedding planner and person Sara is…but to put it simply, hire Sara! From our first call with Sara we could tell how d...
own to earth, organized, and knowledgeable about the wedding industry she was and we knew she’d be the perfect fit for us. Little did we know, we’d have to deal with a yearlong COVID postponement and then our venue undergoing major construction. Sara went above and beyond to help us navigate these unforeseen circumstances and continuously put us at ease. She made every aspect of our wedding more beautiful, special, and fun than we dreamed of. Sara helped us every step along the way from making great vendor recommendations, reviewing contracts, and creating a design book that brought our vision to life. She quickly understood my style and her timeline of monthly tasks allowed us to stay on track and on budget. It is so easy to get caught up in all of the details and stressors of planning a wedding but Sara’s patience, advice on what to prioritize, and attention to detail made the process much less stressful and way more enjoyable. Over our two-year wedding planning journey, Sara truly became a friend to us and it was so evident she really cared about us. Sara would answer ALL of my texts, emails, and calls at any time of the day even if it was just to vent. On the day of the wedding, we had the utmost confidence and trust in Sara and she again exceeded our expectations and executed everything flawlessly. Sara was on top of every detail and handled all the last-minute stressors for us, which made our wedding day flow seamlessly and allowed us, our families, and wedding party to be fully present and soak in every moment (because the day goes by so quickly)! Our wedding was the absolute best day of our lives and so many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. We are still in awe of how perfect our wedding was and none of it would have been possible without Sara! Sara was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding and we could not have done it without her by our side. Anyone would be so lucky to work with Sara!
Sara helped make the wedding of my dreams come true! From the moment that I met Sara on our phone call, I knew that we would be a great match. She is down to earth, task-oriented, ...
organized and creative. Sara's design skills were vast and she helped my ideas come to life, even after my vision changed throughout my engagement. When life became crazy, Sara was always there to keep our wedding planning on track, help communicate with vendors, and keep us adherent to our timeline. The month of the wedding, Sara could not have been more helpful. She had weekly phone calls with my mom and I, which were a life saver when it felt like there were 1,000 tasks to complete and decisions to make, especially while navigating the ever-changing COVID climate. The weekend of the wedding, Sara was amazing. She made sure that my husband and I ate, drank champagne, and kept the event flowing effortlessly so that we were able to truly enjoy the day.
If I had to go back, I would 100% hire Sara again!
We hired Sara for our day of planner for our wedding in July and oh my gosh she is phenomenal! She did so much more than day of coordination; she was in contact with us every month...
for 6 months before the wedding to make sure that we were on track with everything and fielded any questions or issues that we were having. And, the day of the wedding, she made sure everything was perfect and that my husband and I didn't have to do a single thing besides enjoy our day. I really can't recommend Sara enough; she made our wedding so easy and enjoyable!
Hiring Sara to help plan and coordinate our wedding from start to finish was truly the best investment we made for our big day. She helped facilitate every single aspect of the des...
ign, execution, and communication with all of our vendors and put me and my now husband so at ease. I am a very type A person and originally thought I could probably handle planning the wedding on my own - but let me tell you I certainly could not have, at least not like Sara! Her expertise, experience, and relationships in the industry add so much value, and she prioritizes making sure as much of the wedding planning process is as stress free as possible for the bride and groom. Our wedding day came to life so much more beautifully than I had even dreamed up myself, and it was all due to Sara's planning and design execution. She is a treat to work with personally and professionally and you will thank your lucky stars if you have the pleasure of working with her for your big day!
The best piece of wedding planning advice I could give, no matter your planning expertise or budget, would be to hire a planner and hopefully you are lucky enough to have Sara as y...
ours! Sara was truly amazing and made wedding planning and our wedding day everything we hoped for and more. Sara went completely above and beyond- helping us navigate all the big ticket items such as vendors, to answering my texts at any time of the day, even if I was just texting her to let out some steam. Sara was not only professional, reliable, and wonderful at her job, but she made me feel at ease while trying to plan a COVID wedding that had many curveballs and changes throughout the process. Even during the last minutes stressors leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, I was confident that Sara would make sure everything went smoothly and as we envisioned, and she 110% delivered. We would have been lost without her and I can't thank her enough for taking our vision and bringing it to life. We had the absolute best day and it is all thanks to Sara!
I cannot say enough good things about Sara. If you want someone who will take care of the dirty work and keep the wants and needs of the bride more than satisfied this she is for ...
you.
I am a pretty organized person, but having someone who knows the ins and outs of the business is is invaluable.
If you want peace of mind and someone in your corner, do yourself a favor and hire Sara!!
To say Sara Reynolds is amazing is truly an understatement. Before meeting Sara, we were unsure how to make our dream wedding a reality. After our first meeting, we were confident ...
that Sara could make it happen based on her wedding planning experience and attention to detail. Throughout the entire process, she was always available, patient, and willing to guide me through when I had no idea what I was doing. During the design process she created multiple vision boards so that we could see the exact inspiration we were looking for. She also attended every vendor meeting to assist in choosing design elements, as we could quickly get off track. Sara was an integral part of making sure our vendors kept to our vision and provided a detailed timeline of events for each vendor and made sure that they not only knew what they were supposed to do but when.
Planning a wedding during this pandemic surely complicated things, but she managed to put our minds at ease whenever the stress of it all started to wear on us. Not only did she plan our wedding twice but she did so both times with grace, patience, kindness and humor. When we made the difficult decision to postpone our first date we were left with few options for a second date. So we decided to have it at our parents new home, which was beautiful and wonderful. But it came with so many logistical challenges we never could have imagined. We also went outside the box on some of our vendor choices. Sara confronted all of these challenges head on without ever letting us know how difficult the challenge was.
The week of our wedding everything was organized and the only thing we really needed to do was get ready and enjoy our events, even with the forecast of rain storms rolling in. Our wedding day was our dream come true and more memorable then we could have ever imagined. We received many compliments from our family and friends and it would not have been the success that it turned out to be if we had not have hired Sara. Hiring a wedding planner is a great idea, but hiring Sara is the best idea.
If I could give every new bride only ONE piece of advice, it would be to book Sara as your wedding planner! I seriously have an endless amount of praise for everything Sara did to...
make my wedding (and my life) so much easier, especially during Covid. Initially, I hired Sara for the month-of leading up to my wedding, but when Covid hit in early 2020, things drastically changed. Sara ended up devoting so much care and attention to helping me reschedule my wedding, all of my vendors, and most importantly, trying to calm all of my anxieties and stress that came with wedding planning. Sara is not just a wedding planner, she will be your confidant, your biggest cheerleader, your therapist, your best friend, your biggest support system... and the list goes on!
Not only did Sara help my envision my perfect day, but she made sure to execute it perfectly! Everything from budget, logistics, and details to vendors, family dynamics, and my overall wedding vision... Sara was at the very core of everything, ensuring that her attention to even the littlest of details was taken care of.
My entire family, bridal party, and my guests were over the moon with how beautifully Sara orchestrated our wedding day. She quite literally took all of the stress off of everyone’s shoulders so that my family, friends, bridal party, and guests could be fully present in the joy and excitement of our wedding day, all thanks to Sara and her amazing team.
I could seriously go on and on and sing my praises from the rooftops about Sara. She is the absolute sweetest person I’ve ever met, and she was truly at the center of helping me enjoy the journey as a bride. I would 1000% put my trust in Sara, over and over again. She always brought me true peace and a much needed laugh when I needed it the most. I truly could not have imagined my day without her. Not only was she my wedding planner, but she has become a true friend, and for that I am forever grateful.
Sara was such an amazing addition to our wedding team and helped us through the insanity of a pandemic wedding. She was so helpful and kind and remembered the tiniest details to ma...
ke our day as perfect as possible. We had a beautiful day and attribute so much of the smooth sailing to Sara! We recommend her to anyone who is looking for a planner. She will quickly become like a friend!
Can I give more than 5 stars?
Not shocked that she is 5/5 from everyone, because she is absolutely, without a doubt, fantastic at her job. I am a project manager by day and her at...
tention to detail, organization, and ability to execute puts me to shame.
Short review... Stop interviewing planners and hire Sara.
Detailed review:...
Overview: I had a sense the wedding planning would be a combination of design elements and event execution, but, obviously, had no idea that a pandemic would turn a normally challenging planning endeavor to one that seemed almost impossible. Through it all, Sara was calm, supportive, and patient. At every turn, she either had an immediate, expert answer or went out and found one. She literally re-planned my entire wedding in the course of 1.5 months. Plan H, as we called it, was incredible, and plans A-G would have been just as fabulous, had the state of the world not been what it was.
Style: Sara is so personable and kind. I really felt like I had a friend in my corner throughout the whole process. She is informal and straight forward, will tell you when you're being unreasonable and help you stick to your goals (budget, vibe, etc.) even when you make it difficult on her.
Availability: Sara must not sleep. I don't know if I should advertise this for her but she literally never left a text unanswered, no matter what time of day I sent it. I never had to remind her of a task, never had to follow up on something that was in her corner. As a busy professional, this was a huge plus.
Expertise: Sara knows the best vendors and knows how to organize them. It is a true talent to be able to corral 15+ businesses into the execution of a single weekend. She really shined when it came to the back of the house efforts of timeline, vendor management, and day of quarterbacking.
Design: Sara can execute any design and offers excellent suggestions when asked. She largely let me take the reins and would execute my ideas or shift them to something achievable. She knows who to go to within your budget to actually make those details happen. This is no small feat. If I had to do it again, I would probably stop and ask her to give her opinion on the details more, because everything that was "her idea" was excellent, though she also expertly incorporated "my ideas" into the overall event to make it seamless.
Sara, if you're reading this, you know Sam and I are just so grateful for what you achieved for us. Look forward to hiring you for any event I ever plan and will be recommending you to any friend, family member or coworker who will listen to me. :)
SARA IS INCREDIBLE! From our first consultation I could tell she was the right planner for us. From the beginning Sara was honest and down to earth so I knew I could trust her. A...
s someone who knew NOTHING about wedding planning, it was important to feel like I had a planner that was looking out for my best interest, being honest about pricing, and LISTENING to me (not pushing me to use certain vendors because she liked them, but finding vendors that would work best for me). Before even hiring Sara, she spent a long time going over what I needed from a planner and my vision; that extra time from the get go made me feel comfortable and not rushed into signing a contract blindly. Throughout my time working with Sara she was always available to answer texts/calls/emails. Sara even was communicating with me WHILE SHE WAS IN LABOR!! Sara was willing to help make any of my ideas come to life but also gave me advice in what things were worth the money and time and what details may not be as much of a priority. Sara was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and ready to go to bat for her couples. I hated the planning process but Sara made it quite enjoyable and was very encouraging. Sara was "the best ever" and then some!
We hired Sara as a day-of/month-of coordinator for our wedding in August and are so glad we did! She went above and beyond to make sure the weeks leading up to our wedding and day-...

Sara is the sweetest person and my only regret is not hiring her to do more! I would give her 10 stars if I could!
We hired Sara for our month out coordinator, and the only regret we had was not having her plan the full wedding. She was on top of everything from the start, and made it her missi...

d to be someone we could really trust with the biggest day of our lives and who would be as detail oriented as we are. Sara Reynolds delivered, and blew us away with how smoothly the day went.
We got married on our 100 acre family farm, and had so many working parts to the day, as the entire event was DIY. If I had a dollar for every time a guest, family member or other vendor said "Wow, who is your coordinator, she is the awesome" I may have been able to pay for my entire wedding. Sara and her assistant were the glue that held our big day together, and I'm not sure it would have been the most magical day of our lives had they not been steering the ship.
My wife and I will be referring Sara to any and all brides we come across in our businesses, as that is how much we trust in her being able to deliver utmost customer service!
From our very first call we were in love with her enthusiasm for us. We had not had any fun or success wedding planning on our own & decided to poke around into the world of weddin...
g planners, realistically thinking we'd never be able to swing it. We reached out to a few, Sara being one of them, and were pleasantly surprised at her confidence to be able to execute the vision we had, including her services, all within our budget. We planned nearly our entire wedding while living Hawaii - a 6 hour time difference to the east coast; not an easy feat by any means and certainly would've been impossible without Sara. I flew home last October to visit venues on the Eastern Shore with my family; Sara had neatly scheduled an entire day of site visits & knew all the right the questions to ask. My family was a bit skeptical of why we hired a wedding planner, but they were sold after that first time meeting her. I felt like we already got our money worth just in that one day. From there on, every day she blew us away with her organization and timeliness. Her knowledge of area vendors and recommendations was priceless. She kept us on the ball and her monthly checklist breakdowns made the whole planning process much more palatable & fun! She was always willing to go the extra mile & always was in our corner, reminding us that it was OUR day. Sara's work with our budget was to say the least impressive; she knew the best routes to get the most bang for our buck and we actually were able to do quite a bit more than we had thought! She thought of everything and did not leave a single stone unturned. Aside from her just being an all around phenomenal person, her talent as a wedding planner far exceeds her reputation. We truly enjoyed our monthly Skype calls and really value the fact that we had the chance to work with such a sweet, thoughtful, and caring human. The wedding weekend was FLAWLESS and we only have Sara to thank. Our families were mind blown at how calm we were the months, weeks, and days prior to the wedding. She had everything all wrapped up 2 weeks ahead of the wedding and we were able to just sit back and enjoy this exciting time in our lives. People kept telling us how our wedding day would be such a blur because we'd be so stressed and busy, but we remember & thoroughly enjoyed the whole day - the whole weekend - and were really able to spend time with our family & friends because Sara had the whole thing handled. She not only met our expectations, but far surpassed in every way! Our day would not have been nearly as perfect had it not been for Sara. We cannot recommend her enough & I really hope that you'll give yourself the pleasure of working with her.
I’ve been thinking about how to put into words how amazing Sara is since my wedding. But honestly, I don't know if any combination of words will truly sum up just how outstanding s...
he really is!
From the beginning, I could tell Sara was invested in my wedding. Unlike others I spoke with, she didn’t limit me to a 30-minute opening conversation. She talked with me about my engagement, my work, and just in general how I was feeling. She asked about where I was in the planning process and guided me to what I wanted to see in the end. As odd as it may seem, I didn’t dream about my wedding when I was little and truly wasn’t sure what I thought my wedding day would look like. But with Sara’s help, I can honestly say, it was the best day and I would relive it over and over if I could!
Sara helped me with endless items. She broke down wedding planning into monthly tasks that felt manageable and she would email me to check in each month. She has this amazing ability to instantly make you feel calm when you talk to her. Her balance of seriousness and humor are so perfect in this world of wedding planning. Sara helped with so many items throughout the process from organizing my budget to nailing down my vision for my wedding to putting together timelines for everyone to ensure the day went smoothly.
At times, I can be a control freak and originally struggled with the idea of putting someone else in charge of executing my wedding day. But with Sara, I never questioned it. I had one moment during the wedding day when I got stressed out because I was slightly behind schedule. Sara walked into our hotel room, talked with me about how we were just fine with time and instantly calmed me down. From there, it felt like all of my stress went away and it was the perfect day! And, I will forever be grateful for her having safety pins on hand to rehook the train of my dress after the bustle ripped during our first dance. Knowing I had her in my corner on my wedding day gave me true peace of mind.
If you are considering Sara at all, I cannot recommend her enough! She will do all she can to provide you with the most amazing wedding you could imagine!
Sara was polished, professional and knows exactly what her bride needs and exactly when they need it. Staying cool calm and collected on your wedding day is TOUGH! But Sara reminde...
d me, consistently, that she had this "Maddy, I got this". I let go and let Sara take the wheel. My wedding went off without a hitch, it was perfect even through some hiccups, and Sara handled EVERYTHING with such poise and grace (even things I didn't see, coming she did). It was like she didn't even sweat doing it. If you are looking for a planner to set you at ease, handle your vendors and guests professionally and someone with confidence in what their doing... Sara is your girl!!!
We loved working with Sara and she made planning our wedding incredibly simple. We planned our East Coast wedding from the West Coast, and having Sara reassured us that everything ...
went without a hitch even though we weren´t physically there to meet vendors. Sara made sure to include us in all big decisions but kept it simple for us by recommending a few of her favorites and letting us choose from there. On the day of, Sara stayed calm and collected despite rain and a few other hiccups. She went out of her way on multiple occasions to make sure we were happy. I can´t recommend Sara highly enough.
Hiring Sara to be our "month of" wedding planner and coordinator was one of the BEST decisions we made during our wedding planning process. She's fantastic, easy going, and in addi...
tion to loving her job as a planner, she is also simply a pleasure to work with. She is detail-oriented, knowledgeable about vendors in the DC-MD-VA area, and provided the recommendations for many of the people we hired, including our florist and hair/makeup artists. She is MUCH MORE than a month-of planner, we spoke with Sara via email/phone/text as much as we wanted, and this unlimited conversation was all included in the very affordable price. On the day of our wedding, John and I did not have to do anything but simply enjoy each and every moment. Sara stayed until the end of the night, and even ran all around our 500 acre venue to ensure people/vendors arrived on time -- she truly does it all. You will not regret hiring Sara and her team, they are top notch.
I hired Sara about 2 months before my wedding last night for the month of planning. From my first email conversation with her I instantly knew she was the one I wanted to hire. Ove...
r the couple of months she was in constant communication, was incredibly organized and helped to redo all of my flowers and put me and my fiancé at ease when my original florist I had booked on my own, fell through with only a few weeks to go till the wedding. She went above and beyond month of responsibilities and helped to orchestrate the wedding of my dreams!!!! I cannot thank her enough, and my only regret was not hiring her earlier in the process.
Hiring Sara to be our month of wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is smart, efficient, thoughtful and creative. She answered many questions ...
for us in the months leading up to the wedding and made sure we stayed on track. She made us feel confidence that we would have an amazing wedding day. On the day of, she went above and beyond. She seamlessly coordinated the arrival and delivery of all of our vendors, drove us to the church in her van, and loaded up and took home all of our wedding gifts/stuff after the reception. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further. Sara is amazing.
Hiring Sara as our wedding planner was hands down the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the moment we met her, we knew that she would be v...
ery easy to work with. She is knowledgeable, extremely professional, creative, and very patient. In the course of our planning, our venue was remodeled significantly changing the colors and other features in the ballroom. Sara handled the change with ease and creativity and quickly jumped into action to help us create a new color scheme that we loved. Her expert advice and guidance was invaluable in helping to select our photographer, florist, DJ, transportation, and other rentals and we were so happy with every choice that we made. On the day of the wedding, she was AMAZING! She gently and effectively kept everything and everyone on track throughout the day. She made sure that things were in order down to the very last detail in the church and at the reception. There was not one thing that we would have changed. Throughout our wedding day, we were able to focus on each other and enjoy every moment knowing that Sara was taking care of everything. We trusted her implicitly and she truly exceeded our expectations. She made the day absolutely perfect!! We highly recommend her without any reservation. She is an outstanding wedding planner and one of the nicest people we have ever met. Thank you Sara for making our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be. You are THE BEST! We love you!!
Sara is an excellent wedding planner and we are grateful and happy that we worked with her to plan our wedding. She made sure that we had a wonderful time with our family and frien...
ds, without fielding any questions about logistics or vendors.
We planned our east coast wedding from California, and Sara was instrumental in executing the day to day details and vendor visits. We had some big picture ideas about what we wanted, but did not have strong preferences on smaller details. Sara asked insightful questions that allowed her to understand what we wanted and to fill in the gaps. She also provided an amazing timeline, with manageable monthly to-do lists, and she followed up with us to keep us on track. The weeks leading up to our wedding were not stressful because she made sure we were ready with time to spare. We loved her vendor recommendations - they did wonderful work. When we walked into our reception, the final outcome was everything we wanted.
On the day of our wedding, Sara made sure we only focused on each other and our guests. She made sure our parents were similarly able to relax and enjoy the day. She navigated last minute hiccups and we did not have any stress at all. She made sure we ate, bringing us snacks during our portrait sessions, and she kept the schedule running smoothly all day.
Sara consistently went above and beyond, and working with her was the best decision we made while planning.
Where to begin? Words do not do justice for how perfect Sara made our wedding day. Sara is, hands down, the BEST wedding planner – she took our vision and turned it into a reality....
We mean it – from idea to execution, Sara is the reason our perfect wedding day vision came true. Over the course of planning our wedding, she became as much a part of the family as the bridal party!
From our very first conversation, Sara went above and beyond to visualize and create our wedding dream. Thereafter, she aptly kept up with changing visions, vendors and ideas as our day quickly approached.
In execution, Sara is the most organized and reliable planner – with an extensive list of to-dos starting months away from our date, nothing fell through the cracks. No stone was left unturned in our preparations. She is next level at identifying and anticipating issues needing attention before we even realized an issue.
Sara made us feel like a priority by keeping in constant communication. She was always a sounding board when we needed guidance or a second opinion.
She is THE person you want handling and coordinating your vendors. She is THE person you want if by your side (with your new spouse, of course!) keeping your day on schedule.
On the big “Day Of,” we felt completely relaxed. Sara made it so that we had nothing to worry about and we truly got to enjoy the time of our lives with family and friends.
We enthusiastically recommend you plan your wedding with Sara ¬– we wouldn’t change a thing about our experience. Thank you Sara!
LOVE, JESSICA AND DANIEL

g. She was there every step of the way, even when she had a baby during our time together! I can say nothing but great things about Sara. She's an amazing planner. She knows how to find good vendors in your budget. She attends some appointments with you, even when they are in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. I would go with her again!
I cannot say thank you enough to Sara for everything she did for our wedding. Just after we got engaged we began diving into venues, and I almost lost it! When we found Sara she le...
t us know what all she would help us and guide us through and we immediately felt a weight lift off of us! Instead of having a list of 50 options in a google search, she takes your vision and finds a small selection to walk you through. She has so much knowledge, and experience that the entire process just seemed so easy! I am still in disbelieve that I never had a wedding planning meltdown! If you are even considering a wedding planner, talk to Sara!
Sara was an absolute dream from day one. I knew from the get go that our wedding would be exceptionally complicated, with a full weekend of events, 225 guests, and a cast of very i...
nteresting characters including my wonderful but at times high-maintenance parents (including my dad, who officiated and was therefore adorably overbearing throughout the whole process). A wedding planner was an absolute must - one of the first vendors I hired - and I couldn't possibly regret it less!
I interviewed several planners around the Baltimore area for our wedding in Frederick, and Sara IMMEDIATELY put me at ease. She truly stood out from the crowd. She is just SO real - the perfect balance of calm and boundary-setting - keeping us squarely within our budget (as best she could...LOL) and setting appropriate expectations at every turn. She recommended vendors that fit within our price points and often exceeded expectations to keep our costs reasonable (florist! band! transportation!) She kept me on task even as I moved across the country 3 months before the wedding - no small feat - and never once did she let me let my stress get the best of me. She even won over my mother (who was - in a cute way - slightly offended that I hired a planner in the first place, and filled with a million opinions of varying degrees of sanity). Sara made wedding planning seem like the easiest of tasks, even through my intermittent moments of weakness (and the occasional temper tantrum).
On top of this, Sara went above and beyond behind the scenes to deal with the Jekyll/Hyde that was our venue coordinator. As stunning as the setting was, this person did nothing but create drama and stress for all vendors involved - ugh! Unbeknownst to me, she was suddenly changing answers to important logistical questions less than a week before the wedding, all of which involved details that had seemingly been worked out months before. It created a huge amount of work at the last minute for Sara and her crew, who still managed to take everything in stride, and keep me at an arm's length from anything that didn't absolutely require my participation. To this day I could never fully understand, nor will I ever know, the full extent of the headache - Sara works with the utmost professionalism in every single thing that she does.
AND THEN - the big day. I think we can reasonably say that we gave her a run for her money. We were barely on schedule. There were issues with the ceremony music that almost caused my dad to lose his nerve right before walking down the aisle. The bathrooms clogged and flooded, forcing guests to use the catering port-a-potties. The decorations required an additional hour or two to set up (my DIY was a little over-ambitious, as it turns out...), forcing the crews to work during the ceremony. Sara even had to run out and purchase table numbers because the ones I made were too small to be seen by the guests. Yet somehow, Sara tackled these issues so seamlessly that not a single person remembers a single hiccup from the entirety of the day. In fact, I have had no fewer than 50 guests compliment how smoothly every single thing went from start to finish - all thanks to the workhorse that was our incredible wedding planner!
Finally, I can safely say that Sara is a vendor's vendor. Every single company that we worked with (and it was essentially ALL a la carte) had nothing but compliments and love notes for Sara - the photographer, the set up crews, and the caterer to name a few gushed to me unprompted on several occasions! And the kicker - EVEN THE VENUE COORDINATOR had only good things to say and told me she can't wait to work with her again (lol...)
All in all, NOT an easy wedding - for a variety of reasons - and truly, Sara went above and beyond at every turn and made our logistically challenging day a perfect marriage, literally and figuratively, of people, places, and many, many moving parts. A plus plus plus plus!!!!!!
Hiring Sara was the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding (in fact, I wish I had found her earlier in the process!). We hired her for month-of services and ...
partial wedding planning (she helped us find 3 of our vendors), but she did SO much more than that. She narrowed down the choices for florists, caterers and rentals (lighting, chairs, etc.) and she really knocked it out of the park and made it so easy for us. She had a great rapport with the caterers (Zeffert and Gold), which made planning the menu/reception super easy. We got so many compliments on the food and the flowers (Steelcut Flower Co). Sara was my consultant on EVERYTHING wedding related (invites, decorations, favors) and she even helped us find a baker when we needed a wedding cake vendor a month out.
Most importantly, in the days leading up to the wedding and the day of, Sara completely took over, so that my husband and I (and our families) didn't have to worry about anything and were able to enjoy the day. She coordinated with all our vendors (and my Aunts who were bringing a bunch of decor for the ceremony and reception). She created a detailed timeline for the wedding day, which accommodated both my OCD and my husband's laissez-faire attitude). My dad even said during the rehearsal "I see why you hired her!" BTW Sara was 8 months pregnant on the day of our wedding - she was such a trooper and didn't stop all day! We cannot thank her enough!
As a Type A bride, Sara was the perfect coordinator to ease my worries. From the first time we talked, she took detailed notes and kept a very organized spreadsheet of everything w...
e talked about, which helped her execute our design vision perfectly on the day of. Sara came with us to our final walk-through of the venue with the caterer and was a lifesaver. She asked so many questions that were important, but I never would have thought of. And we weren't the only ones who loved her -- lots of our other vendors raved about how great she was. Our wedding was so stress-free, and Sara had such an important role in making that happen!
Sara was nothing less than outstanding. She has a very easy way about her and I sensed that after our first conversation. In a stressful and busy time, having someone that is cal...
m, organize, efficient was the best support we could have asked for. She got out way of working and pace and adapted to that to incredibly well. All of her suggestions for vendors, officiants, DJ’s and florists were wonderful and we made the right choice at every step. On the day of the wedding, you could see her presence because every that flowed so well but, you never saw her... she is simply outstanding and I could not have asked for a better partner to plan our best day
Our wedding day far exceeded our expectations, and I don’t mean that lightly... it was exactly the feeling we wanted for us, our girls, our family and our friends.
I will be for ever greatful and so thankful that Sara helped us achieve that.
I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am to have had Sara as my wedding planner. I had just moved to the East Coast when my now-husband and I got engaged. Being new to the...
city I hadn't the slightest idea where to begin with finding quality vendors. From the moment Sara and I first chatted on the phone we just clicked. She eased any and all nerves I had and helped make my wedding vision come to life. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail of the day was perfect. Our wedding day went off without a hitch (...and if there was a hitch we never would have known because she was so on top of everything!) I am so grateful for Sara and her ability to be so patient and attentive every step of the way.

nt, fun, and memorable wedding! Sara is young and hip, but also has the experience to ensure that your wedding will be everything you envision it to be. She planned everything perfectly, kept a detailed schedule, provided recommendations for the best vendors (i.e., flowers, music, hair, make-up, etc.), and kept things on budget. She was extremely responsive and available through the whole process. But the day of the wedding was the real test. She worked perfectly with the event coordinator of our venue, ensuring all details were implemented, and seamlessly ensured the wedding events ran smoothly! Timing is everything and all our friends and relatives raved about what a perfect wedding it was. Do not hesitate to put your child’s most important day in Sara’s hands. She’s the best!
