Satin & Sage Events

th her closely for over a year, and she guided us from start to finish, through some dead ends and false starts, negotiating some off- the wall ideas, dealing with some strong family personalities, and always keeping us on track. Throughout the entire process her patience, professionalism, and resourcefulness never wavered. Satin and Sage is not a one-stop-shop / no decisions necessary / here's the proposal for your wedding design down to every last detail type of service - so look elsewhere if you want a hands off planning experience. However, having direct access to someone who can make quality informed recommendations, prioritize the seemingly endless to-dos, figure out all the logistics, and generally keep the whole thing on track was an absolutely worthwhile investment (measured by incalculable stress, headaches, and time saved). Aly's vendor recommendations were all top notch, and she seamlessly coordinated every last one allowing me to focus on more meaningful and personal elements that made our wedding perfectly 'us'. In the end, we couldn't be happier :).

ce and suggesting vendors, in addition to her amazing work the day of our wedding. Aly made me feel relaxed and at ease that the vision I created for our wedding would be perfectly executed, and she totally delivered! Everything the day of our wedding ran without a hitch, and looked amazing to boot. We had the perfect fun and relaxing wedding day knowing that Aly had everything 100% under control.

were so impressed by her wedding knowledge, experience, and passion towards helping couples make their wedding a dream come true. Throughout the months to come, we met with Aly three times before our rehearsal day. I must have spoken with Aly, either talking on the phone or over many emails literally dozens of times. Aly was always responsive and really did care about her couples and wanting to make sure their day ran perfect. Aly even helped us with redoing our venue contact a couple months before our big day which helped save us some money! Aly is very passionate about weddings and recommended some great vendors to us. Aly created a detailed wedding timeline for us that really made us feel that our day was going to run smoothly. I must say, I loved this part because I felt that Aly knew exactly what we wanted in our day and remembered multiple conversations we had throughout the months leading up to our day! On the day of the rehearsal Aly was front and center to make sure everyone knew what their roles were and how to walk, ect on the day of the wedding. Aly gave some amazing pointers to the venue because she just had so many experience with this before! :-) The day of the wedding came and Aly even texted me in the morning with a sweet message about how she was excited to see me later on which made me feel that her job isn't just a job to her, its a passion! Aly was able to set up all decorations (we had many), table settings, placement cards, and was able to really turn our reception into everything that we planned for. Aly was even checking the weather all afternoon and was making sure that our ceremony was going to be on time because rain was coming and knew that we really wanted to have our ceremony outside. (Amazing attention to detail)!!! Once the ceremony was finished, Aly was greeting us with drinks and was helping direct and keep the entire bridal party together and on-time because the rain was coming and knew how much time we had for photos! During the reception, Aly was catering to us the entire time!!!! She was always near us and making sure that my husband and I were having fun and enjoying each and every moment with bringing us food, making sure our timeline was heading in the right direction, and making sure we had a drink in our hands! After the reception was over, Aly literally packed up all our decorations and gifts and placed them in my car! I am probably missing some details but Aly seriously helped my husband I make our wedding a dream come true. Wedding planning is very stressful and takes a lot of time planning but Aly seriously made it feel so much better with all the stress. If anyone is looking for a wedding planner for their upcoming wedding, you should totally hire Aly from Satin and Sage...you will not regret it! :) Thank you Aly so much for all your help!!!!! :-) Five plus stars!!!!

d a day-of coordinator. Both planners we reached out to via Wedding Wire were booked. Luckily, one of them recommended Aly. From the moment we met her, we knew we would be hiring her - even though we had more meetings lined up. She was relaxed, smart, experienced and kind. She asked all the necessary questions and was able to answer all the questions we had. We were already one year into our two-year engagement and had already booked all of our vendors at that point. We honestly didn’t need a lot of help but she was there for us whenever we asked. The night before and the day of the wedding is when Aly really surpassed our expectations. She made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. When an issue arose with the venue and my wife and I’s food, she immediately made sure it was corrected. She even stopped eating her meal to deal with the problem. She kept everything on time and in order based off our prepared wedding schedule. We can’t imagine our big day without having Aly there for us. If we had to do it again, Aly would be there again, no question. We now truly consider her to be a friend. How cool is that?!

with her! The whole process was simplified by Aly and she made sure I knew all my options and was available at most hours to answer a question or check on something for us. She helped narrow down options and weigh pros and cons of vendor selections. When it came to the day of the wedding, she was our lifesaver. She made my vision of the wedding come to life, in a way that I never could have. I have told and will continue to tell everyone I know to keep Aly in mind for a planner, you want this woman on your vendor team!

I needed, before I even did! She supported me when I was stressed, kept me on my timeline when I was disorganized, and stayed on top of all our plans for the entire year of planning!She made things so much easier for us and helped to create the wedding of our dreams! Aly is professional, kind, outgoing, and creative! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for the ultimate planner. The experience was one I’ll never forget!!

nd really helped me with everything from helping plan, contacting vendors and attending menu meetings with the restaurant and even stepped in when our florist couldn’t come to decorate the venue. She lit candles. Grabbed my drinks. Kept annoying family away ( as absolutely polite and cordial as ever) helped put up my hair (again) as well as bustle my dress. This lady is a wonder woman. I almost wish I could get married again just to have an excuse to hire her! I highly highly recommend Aly!

my own wedding. I knew that our wedding would be held in South Carolina and Aly was excited to take on the task of planning a long distance wedding. She was an asset from the beginning - she helped us venue search, find vendors, and stay in our budget. Aly met with me frequently, as well as had meetings with my now husband and my mom. She even FaceTimed in for vendor meetings that took place in South Carolina. She made our wedding day an absolute DREAM. Having never seen the venue other than through photos or videos, she intricately put everything together like she had planned multiple weddings there. She took care of every single detail that day so I could enjoy the morning with my bridesmaids. Aly even put together beautiful table centerpieces last minute (at 2pm for the 5pm ceremony) when she realized that I had left the planned centerpieces at my home in Charleston - all while keeping me calm. Aly made sure that I kept a full glass of champagne the whole night, and was attentive to our immediate family so that they could enjoy the night as well. I can't put into any real words how thankful I am for Aly, her organizational and creative skills, and her friendship.

Aly was able to make our wedding and the planning process as painless as possible. We talked with multiple planners before choosing Aly. We chose her because she was a rare combination of down-to-earth and outgoing, organized and professional, and experienced in her field. She helped us through every stage in the wedding planning process and was always easy to get ahold of. As PhD and medical students, we both work more than 60hours/wk, so finding a planner who would keep us on track and sane through planning was key for us- and we hit a home run with Aly. Though her planning was indispensable, where Aly really shined was on the wedding day itself where she kept us relaxed, on schedule, and fed. We wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day, and Aly helped make it that way!

making our day perfect. I always appreciated having her as a sounding board for ideas and to help make my crazy ones come true. She also has great style and an eye for design. She works hard, is organized and makes sure things get done, while being a calm and wonderful person to be around -- I am still baffled how she does it. Aly was an indispensable part of our wedding planning process and I could not recommend her more highly.

I am so thankful she was on our vendor team.

nything. She also took a lot off my plate as the event neared. She didn't miss any details and made sure myself and my now husband were well taken care of the night of our wedding (we actually got to eat dinner!!). Aly is brilliant at what she does!

e was the right woman for the job, we just clicked, it was like having coffee with an old friend. She worked tirelessly to make sure that my husband and I got everything that we both wanted from our wedding day. On the day of the wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly, even if that meant that she had to jump in and pass hors d'oeuvres and replenish desserts and do whatever was necessary to make sure that everything was perfect. She was like Visa, "everywhere you want her to be". Her work did not end there. She made sure to get everything back to the necessary people while I was away on my honeymoon, so that I did not have to worry about it. My only regret is that I did not find her sooner!

at needs to be done and when. She made sure my wedding day went without a hiccup. Thanks Aly!

sister with my bridal shower! She is truly a wonderful person both inside out. Aly is very detail oriented and brought up questions and situations I hadn’t ever thought of during meetings and planning sessions. She was always prompt at responding and I could get in touch with her whenever I needed her! On the day of she was very attentive and my wedding went off without a hitch. She also has a wonderful calm personality that kept me calm when I was stressed or freaking out. If you’re looking for someone to help you plan the happiest day of your life, she’s the best there is.

s before our wedding, and Aly not only managed the ongoing problems but she also managed our stress levels. I interviewed a few planners/coordinators and went with Aly because she is approachable, ambitious, organized, honest, real, and fun. I like that she has strong opinions but would wait until I asked for them. She is very very helpful in so many different ways (she basically did half of the caterer's job), she is respectful, and so much fun to work with! Working with Aly to plan our wedding weekend was my favorite part of the process. My husband and I are forever grateful for her!!!

rding how to throw a wedding. She was easily reachable via email, phone and text, and more than happy to help by just meeting and keeping track of action items and helping find and coordinate vendors. Her experience as an events manager at a local venue was very helpful when dealing with our venue. Aly is a wonderful person and truly made our day extra special! We would highly recommend her!

e had to find a way to work her into our budget as our "month of" wedding coordinator! Aly worked with us the entire month leading up to our wedding, coordinating with our vendors, creating a timeline and floor plan and much more. Aly was knowledgeable, responsive and had a can-do attitude that made me, an admittedly huge control freak, comfortable putting our day into her hands. She managed every last-minute to-do item with aplomb and successfully coordinated our beautiful day. I know I couldn't have done it without her, and I would definitely recommend her month-of coordination package. It was a huge help having someone so organized and so knowledgeable about the wedding industry by my side in those last crucial weeks.

of the industry, and provided guidance regarding wedding procedures/traditions. On my wedding day, she managed everything in a timely and friendly manner and everything went very smoothly. I would definitely recommend Aly!
