Seamless Planning

Run, we decided to move forward and paid in full. Unfortunately, our experience quickly raised concerns. Our first call after signing the contract started late because we never received a meeting invite. The timeline she created contained multiple mistakes, including listing the wrong groom. Several emails, texts, and timeline updates also included spelling errors, typos, and inaccurate information. During wedding week, she even texted me using the wrong groom’s name, which added unnecessary stress leading up to the wedding. We discussed terminating the contract after the first week, but since we had already paid in full, we decided to continue. By the time we hired Sam, the majority of our wedding had already been planned. One of the main reasons we hired a coordinator was because my husband’s job is extremely demanding and we wanted help reducing stress and streamlining communication in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. Instead, due to ongoing communication issues and repeated inaccuracies, my husband ultimately took over most communication with her in an effort to minimize additional stress for me. We are both very detail oriented, and we frequently found ourselves correcting inaccurate information sent to vendors or re-answering questions that had already been addressed. The day-of coordination was somewhat better. Her assistant did a nice job decorating the reception venue, and Sam did keep the day moving overall. However, several issues at the end of the night were disappointing. Our vintage ceramic cake topper was placed loosely into a box, multiple glass candle holders were broken, and a vase of water tipped over into the box containing our guest book. Thankfully, my mom noticed before the guest book was damaged. The spill was cleaned up using all the towels in my parents’ hotel room, leaving them without towels when they returned later that night and requiring them to contact the front desk for replacements. Additionally, Sam assured my bridesmaids she had everything handled. Although the contract stated she was not responsible for certain personal items, there was no communication that those items needed to be collected before leaving. Phones, keys, and several important belongings were left behind in the bridal suite, resulting in my mom and bridesmaid having to track down hotel security in the middle of the night to retrieve everything. Overall, we did not feel the service reflected the level of organization and communication we expected from a wedding coordinator.

f our vendors leading up to the wedding, to decorating the entire venue with the exact vision I had, to making sure the whole wedding went smoothly, we can't thank her enough. She made sure that my husband and I were in our own "bubble" all day and had nothing to worry about except having fun and celebrating with our loved ones. Knowing that everything was taken care of that day truly allowed us to live in the moment and be present, and we will forever be grateful for her work. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

very first interaction we had with Sam, she was nothing but sweet and very explicit with her mission as a wedding day coordinator. Her drive is to make the couple feel as though they are in "a bubble" and to ensure the parents are able to enjoy the day without having to run around making sure the day goes off without a hitch. She did just that! From gentle reminders on things not to forget to address/complete prior to the day of, to communicating with vendors on our behalf, to setting up countless tubs/boxes of venue decorations on the morning of! Sam truly wears many hats and does it with such grace! She put my nerves at ease and made us feel so special from start to finish! Sam is family now! If you are looking for a coordinator who puts you first, choose Sam! You'll be lucky to have her! I know we were! Love you, Sam!

he day of our wedding! She made me calm amidst the pre-ceremony jitters and many moving parts. She was great at communicating with other vendors and guided us throughout the day to ensure we were able to include the different elements of our ceremony that were important to us. She was on top of setting up all of wedding decor and we felt we could trust her judgment and expertise on areas we had less opinions about. Thank you, Sam for your amazing support and guidance leading up to our wedding day! We appreciate you!!!
