Sometimes when you see all 5 Star reviews...it perks your spider senses. But we can tell you with great confidence that Merrie and her staff have earned every one of those stars. From beginning to end, Merrie was reachable, responsive, and helpful...making you feel that your special day is going to go off without a hitch. On our special day...Merrie and her staff were there early, and were one of the last to leave. Merrie is familiar with most venues, vendors, florists, DJs, bands, and anyone else that can add to your magic. Her no nonsense, sage recommendations will steer you away from trouble...and put you at ease both in the planning stages, and on your celebration day. She did exactly this for us. Merrie goes above and beyond making informed recommendations, she works with your other vendors coordinating every detail. Having her at your function is a guarantee that things will get taken care of. Would we recommend Merrie and Silver and Sage? Absolutely! You would be lucky if she was available for your date...she is truly a professional! And beyond all this business end stuff...you will find Merrie to be a warm, wonderful and sincere friend.

We are immensely grateful to Merrie and her team for their exceptional support in planning our wedding in November 2024. From the very first conversation, we felt confident in her ability to manage this important event. Merrie’s transparent communication and guidance throughout the process were invaluable. She took the time to ensure we understood every step and provided a detailed day-of timeline, making the entire planning process seamless. Merrie went above and beyond, attending meetings and handling any issues promptly—such as a seating arrangement challenge on the wedding day, which allowed us to focus on enjoying the celebration. Her professionalism and dedication made the entire experience stress-free, and we highly recommend her services. We will always be grateful to Merrie for making our wedding day unforgettable.

Merrie and her team were exceptional! We used Silver and Sage for our Day of Wedding planner and also as our Officiant. For the Officiant service, Merrie wrote the most thoughtful ceremony. We were both so thrilled and moved at how she captured the details of our relationship and put them into words. For the Day of planning services, the team knocked it out of the park. We were able to relax and truly enjoy the day. Any question I had was immediately addressed, and if I even looked like I had a concern or question, someone came right over. Everything was handled and coordinated and we cannot say enough positive things about Silver and Sage.

Silver and Sage Weddings were an absolute lifesaver as our day-of coordinators for our wedding! Merrie stepped into a unique and somewhat challenging environment with grace and expertise. She not only made me feel completely secure as the bride, knowing everything was taken care of, but she also came up with creative solutions to some unexpected issues we faced.
Her calm demeanor, resourcefulness, and ability to keep everything running smoothly made all the difference on our special day. I would highly recommend Silver and Sage Weddings to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and supportive team to help make their event seamless and stress-free!

Where to begin with this review. I've left reviews on Yelp and Google with a lot of detail, so I'll keep this brief: we hired Merrie as a full service planner for our October 2024 wedding. She failed us in so many ways, including lying about what she had or had not done -- easily verifiable claims, such as that my husband had received a text from the babysitter, that she had booked our rehearsal lunch venue (we had to scramble to find one two weeks before the wedding because she never did secure it), that she had sent our timeline/agenda to all our vendors (we called them one by one to see if they had received it) -- she claimed it must have gone to their spam folders. She gaslit and lied and we don't know how much of her excuses were reality and what was completely fabrication. Perhaps as a day-of or month-of coordinator she might be okay, but save yourself the stress and expense: do not hire her for full-service. You will regret it.

I am so sorry you feel this was your experience. I did find 5 locations for your lunch, ...
after the original location stated I had been given misinformation. As for the rest, I spoke to vendors multiple times, confirmed times and sent out the itinerary. With this said, I would welcome a conversation to go over the details. I would never lie to or "gaslight" a client. My business is my life and I take a very caring interest in my clients happiness and experience.

Very highly recommended.
Merrie is truly client centered, clearly loves what she does, stays on top of the vendors, and is 10-steps ahead the entire time.
Despite everything from extreme weather to minute logistical details, to last-minute vendor changes, Merrie quickly adapted, finding alternative solutions that kept our wedding on track.
Merrie, Chris, Georgia, and Marissa were highly proactive, engaged, and efficient on the day of. They ensured everything ran smoothly, even when we faced day-of cooperation issues with the venue. Their calm demeanor and problem-solving skills turned potential stress into seamless execution.
When selecting a day-of coordinator we also wanted to prioritize our guests, ensuring that they were taken care of and could focus on enjoying themselves. Silver & Sage made that possible and went above and beyond to make our wedding an incredible guest experience.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication from Merrie and her team our wedding day was not only beautiful but was simply magical.
I highly recommend Silver & Sage to any couple looking to make their dream wedding a reality, no matter the challenges!

We had the pleasure to work with Merrie at one of our recent weddings at our venue. From the moment she arrived she took charge of the varies preparations needed. She helped with set-up, decorations, ceremony organization, vendor communication and closely worked with the bridal party and us. She made everyone's job easier and she was a big reason why the wedding was a success. We highly recommend her, so much so that we have added her to our vendor list. Thank you Merrie for your amazing help.

Merrie and her team were amazing. I did all the planning for my daughter’s wedding, then Merrie stepped in for DOC, which I am sure is not an easy task. She made it seamless and provided everything I had asked for so I could enjoy the day with my daughter. Thank you Merrie!

Merrie was so amazing and accommodating. She honestly is took so much worry and stress away from me by being the best DOC for my wedding day. I appreciated her help greatly and would recommend her to anyone looking for a calm and directive partner in planning or coordinating your big day!
She went above and beyond for me and my husband, from helping to build us a fort for our special traditions, to picking up our dessert because they bakery refused to move the pick up time for us.
She was really a super hero that day and my special day just would not have happened the way it did without her. She will always have a special place in my heart for her.

I absolutely loved working with Merrie, Kailey, and Ashlyn at Silver and Sage. They are seasoned professionals with so much experience. It was so reassuring to have them by my side in the planning process and on my wedding day. They took on every task with calming kindness, ran the show seamlessly, and were always first to jump in when extra help was needed. I had a very DIY wedding at an airbnb, and they were able to take on so much responsibility with ease. I would not have been able to do it without them. I would highly recommend this company for your wedding needs!

Hiring Merrie with Silver and Sage was the best thing we could have done for our wedding! She was timely, efficient, and so helpful with her day of coordinating for our wedding.
From the start, she was extremely prepared and went above and beyond my expectations. She was ready with questions that I didn’t even know I didn’t know! Her attention to detail made everything run so smoothly the day of the wedding. She was the first there and the last to leave, and did not hesitate to be the “bad guy” when someone/something needed to be redirected or fixed.
We had a bit of a hiccup with our venue (our of our control), but Merrie was calm, professional, and did everything to not only resolve the issue, but ensure us that no matter what, our wedding would still be perfect. Her communication was very quick, and she had many amazing ideas that I would have never considered.
She checked in with us throughout the wedding process and the day of in case we needed anything as little as a glass of water, to as much as changing something at the last minute because we changed our minds.
I would 100% recommend Silver and Sage to anyone looking for wedding planning/day of coordinating services. I can NOT imagine our wedding being as amazing as it was without her help and guidance.

Merrie is the sweetest person you could ask for to be by your side on your wedding day. We initially only reached out to her to be our officiant but hired her as our day of coordinator as well! My husband and I wanted a short, simple, and sweet ceremony without personal vows. Merrie crafted a beautiful and personal ceremony script for us with vows for us to repeat. She exceeded all expectations.
Our wedding was on a hot summer Temecula day, and Merrie always made sure to keep us hydrated while we were out taking our couple photos. She would grab anything we needed from our bridal/groom suite and ensured we were comfortable throughout the day. Merrie has a calming presence and reassured us that everything would be perfect on our special day. She stayed on top of every detail, ensuring that all vendors adhered to the timeline. We couldn't be happier that Merrie was part of our wedding.

From the first time we spoke with Merrie, we knew that she was the perfect match for our wedding. She understood exactly what we were looking for. She gave advice and recommendations that made our special day even better than we imagined! Her tips and tricks from years of experience are what kept the day running soo smoothly! Merrie is an outstanding officiant. The ceremony she wrote was beautiful and meaningful to both of us, and she really took the time to get to know who we are in order to personalize our moment. We valued her opinion and trusted her instinct when it came to making decisions about decor, ceremony, and timeline. The portal we used to plan was very detailed and helpful. She worked well with the other vendors. She was punctual, professional, and confident. Our day was truly magical and we owe it all to Merrie and her assistant Olga 👏 She is a remarkable human being, and a talented coordinator. She went way above and beyond for us. 10/10 I would recommend Merrie to anyone and everyone I know because I would want them to have the fantastic experience we were fortunate enough to have 💕

It was truly a pleasure working with Merrie on a wedding at The Oviatt in January. Not only was she very responsive and didn't miss a any details, she was a team player who works seamlessly with the venue and vendors which ensured for a stress free day for my client. Not only was Merrie amazing but her team was also a dream to work with and provided much needed support for the day. We work with many planners at The Oviatt but Silver and Sage was absolutely one of the best!

WOW! I cannot speak more highly of Merrie and her team. An absolute Godsend to me and my husband on our wedding day. We hired Merrie as a partial wedding planner about 3 months before our big day, and I have to say, I don't know how the day would have been as flawless as it was without her. From the very beginning of the planning process, Merrie was so thorough and detail oriented with every aspect of the wedding. We spoke to her on the phone multiple times before our big day, and it sounds funny, butt she has such a soothing voice that puts you at ease and calms all the anxiety that comes with planning such a large event. Our wedding had 200+ people, and from an execution standpoint, Merrie missed NOTHING. Then of course during our rehearsal, she worked so well with our Pastor to make sure everything went perfectly as planned. Our wedding party appreciated her directness as they knew exactly what to do and when during the rehearsal. Then, on the big day itself, I can't imagine doing any of it on my own or making a loved ones do all that she and her crew did. She came with a couple assistants since our wedding was larger, but from start to finish, Merrie set up and executed on everything we discussed while consistently checking in with me and my husband to see if there was anything else we needed or how she could help. She knew EXACTLY how to support us in the best way, the exact way that we needed and there was no stress at all for us because she handled every little detail. It was a privilege to work with Merrie, and I highly recommend that anyone do so to eliminate any and all stress and to work with a high quality crew. Hailey, her niece, was also part of the crew and for every picture I took, she was right there with me to fix my dress and see if I needed anything. A+ service and some of the kindest people you'll meet!

She is well experienced and it shows with everything she does. I was very pleased with the turnout and her services. She went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical. She has the warmth of a mother and was very calming which I needed and appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a day of coordinator. She was incredible as a day of coordinator I can only imagine all her other services she offers!

We hired Merrie as our officiant and day-of wedding coordinator and couldn’t be happier with our experience. We liked her from the very first phone call and knew that we would be a fit. As our officiant, she did an incredible job in putting together a very real, beautiful, and heartfelt ceremony. As our coordinator, she was organized, communicative, and always willing to help. She often thought of things and presented options that we hadn’t considered and helped us with a lot of decision-making when we would get stuck in a rut. Merrie helped take a lot of pressure out of the wedding planning as she kept us on track, and kept us calm! We would absolutely recommend her to other bride and grooms! Five stars!

Merrie was absolutely amazing. I was so overwhelmed when I started planning and then along came Merrie. She is so knowledgeable about every detail, vendors in the industry and how to make your day perfect whilst still staying in budget.
Every meeting we had prior made me feel so at peace with the day and everything being under control.
The day of I felt so special, from having my food and drinks ready when I sat down, guests attended to, and making sure I was hydrated and fed all night lol. VERY IMPORTANT.
the one thing that went “wrong” in the day was lost cake plates from myself but you know she swooped in before it was too late had them all ready to go and saved the day.
She helped from set up to tear down and I can’t thank her and her team enough. Please book her for your big day so you can feel royalty treatment too!

Where do I start?! Merrie has been supportive since the beginning! We got her a few weeks before the wedding, and she was more than happy to be apart of our special day. She was supportive and patient with me the day of the wedding when things weren’t going as planned. She was so helpful at explaining different types of ceremonies, and made our traditional (yet short and sweet) Catholic ceremony amazing. If you end up having Merrie marry you, you won’t regret it!
