Where do I even begin with this incredible gem of a human!
First of all, we had to reschedule our wedding due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Sarah Ann was incredibly understanding and flexible and didn't even charge us a rebooking fee.
Second, w...e booked her as a "month of" planner and once she stepped in, I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. We had an incredibly personable conversation via FaceTime at the beginning of this process where we went over the details of the wedding-- she was very detailed, jotting everything down, taking mental notes of my vision while also making helpful suggestions here and there. We also took this time to get to know each other a bit-- the conversation was personable, Sarah Ann listened but also shared some of her life story. She was so open and generous with me and by the end of it I truly felt bonded to her. Swiftly, she took the reigns on contact with vendors, making processional and recessional order, etc. and so many other little details that I was too busy to think about. She gave me access to Aisle Planner, which turned out to be an amazingly useful resource in the planning process--truly a life saver, you'll throw all of your planning books away.
Lastly, when the week and day finally came, Sarah Ann made it so I didn't have to worry about a thing and could just focus on being present. As if a pandemic and a gas shortage weren't big enough roadblocks, we found out our ceremony location had gone through an overhaul and our original processional and recessional plan had to be completely revamped. She visited the site on her own time to scope it out and come up with a backup plan. On the day of, Sarah Ann's assistant broke her foot while beginning set up that day, a bridesmaid didn't show up, some guests were divas/late/couldn't be bothered, the list goes on and on...but Sarah Ann must have had some magic fairy dust or something because despite it all, I felt cool, calm and collected knowing that she had everything under control. Truly I didn't see one bead of sweat on her. All smiles and love.
The ceremony and reception were stunning and smooth. My guests raved about her. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. All hail Sarah Ann. Hire her now! You'll have the wedding of your dreams.
