y meeting and helped us perfect the layout, design, and flow of the the whole day. Her years of experience helped us so much- she knew the best vendors and helped us strategize on where to spend our dollars for maximum impact. She was so dedicated to ensuring our wedding day went well that she worked through our reception despite having seriously injured her foot mid day! Best of all, Sarah has a wonderful calming demeanor that puts everyone at ease. If you are looking for someone to help guide you through planning a large event, you cannot go wrong with Sarah Pittman!

ur wedding on a budget of around $15,000. The first thing Sarah did was suggest a new venue which seemed a bit odd since our original venue appeared loyal to her (she was the sole planner they recommended)… but we wanted to save money so we were open to it. Sarah told us she would assist us not only with our day-of coordinating but also wedding planning for a discounted price since we were on a budget. The new venue that Sarah suggested was doing renovation at the time and she told us she would contact us in about two weeks when the venue was available for walk throughs again. So, we waited, & waited for Sarah to contact us. THREE MONTHS went by before we finally contacted the venue ourselves. When we contacted Sarah to let her know we had made the appointment ourselves she claimed to have been emailing the venue w/o a response for a long period of time. It was odd that we were able to make an appointment right away and that Sarah had not reached out to us to let us know she was *supposedly* working on it, or having issues, or both. This was a recurring experience with Sarah the entire time. She would tell us she would look into something for us and let us know in a couple days and then we would wait weeks to MONTHS for a response & end up just doing it ourselves. A few months before our wedding Sarah told us that she couldn’t attend our wedding because she had planned another event for the same day & two of her assistants would be there instead. Then it went from 2 assistants to 1 (Monica). Sarah told us Monica would be there to help & *specifically* that Monica would pick up plates after people ate. My first wedding day encounter with Monica was before the ceremony while I was hidden away waiting for my cue to start down the aisle. She came in to let me know that there weren’t servers and “it isn’t my job to clean up the plates.” We had a buffet, so servers weren’t necessary and, like I mentioned above, Sarah had told us that picking up plates and other such cleaning up would be a major part of Monica’s job. Instead, my sister in law was running around picking up plates amongst other things that you would think the wedding planner and/or her assistant would be responsible for. When the end of the night came Monica was alone in the back room when my mom walked in. She didn’t actually acknowledge my mom and may not even have known who she was but said in a snarky tone that “she (Monica) didn’t know where everyone had gone but SOMEONE needed to take out the trash and it was NOT going to be her”. A little bit later, Monica told my husband that one of the two of us needed to take out the trash. My very sweet husband was going to do it himself when the security guard stepped in and said that people at the venue would take care of that. When we got home on our wedding night, Sarah had sent my husband a long, and rather rude text letting us know that Monica had stayed after and cleaned up plates so we wouldn’t lose our deposit. Sarah’s message said that the “right thing” for us to do would be to text Monica a ‘thank you’ and give her a good tip, followed by a link to her Venmo account. At least one of my relatives DID tip Monica ($50) AND we had paid Sarah $250 over what she had asked. Much more happened that I have to leave out due to the character limit.

t to be. She was the point-person for all of my vendors, family, wedding party, etc. on the day-of and every day leading up pretty much! She advocated for all of my unique opinions and was completely adaptable to every changing detail. I seriously did not have to worry about a THING the day of my wedding because of how on top of everything Sarah was and because of all the planning that she put into the day. She made it a non-negotiable that my husband and I spend a few minutes together alone before reception and eat a little bit of dinner. She brought us into the reception room before anyone else to allow us to take in all of the decorations and atmosphere before things got crowded and crazy. It was one of the most special moments we had that day and I am so grateful to have had someone who viewed the experience as intimately and personally as we did. I absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone interested in a wedding or event planner!
