Smooth Sailing Weddings

We brought on Sasha and her assistant, Alta, to help as our day-of coordinators for our wedding in the Outer Banks. Both Sasha and Alta were absolutely amazing, as they were both so communicative, creative in the setup, and intuitive in how to help create our vision - they even climbed a tree for us! We didn't have to worry about anything day-of and that is greatly thanks to Sasha and her team. We cannot recommend Sasha and her team enough!

I booked Sasha as an event planner for a Cinco de Mayo themed party in Corolla I was organizing for the graduating MBA class of Duke University. Working with Sasha was invaluable and she was amazing at helping me bring the party to life and make sure everything ran smoothly. It was a challenging task because we only had like 3 weeks to plan a 300+ person party, and I had never been to the Outer Banks and I was not going to arrive until the weekend of the party, so all the planning on my end was remote. Sasha went above and beyond to bring our vision to reality, took a lot of stress off my shoulders in planning the party, and found creative solutions to allow us to stay within a limited budget. She had great recommendations of vendors such as caterers, decorators/rentals, sound equipment, etc. and they all turned out to be great thanks to her recommendations. Some of the things that made Sasha stand out were: - She met with the venue manager in person and facetimed me so that I could see the venue in real time and we could brainstorm dance floor, tables, catering, and decoration placement together - She helped me with the challenging task of bringing in live plants into the venue - I really wanted to include large live plants into the venue and she figured out how to make it happen and still stay within our budget - She had great taste, so I was able to really trust her in her recommendations of decoration, such as linen colors, hanging dance floor decoration, dessert table design, etc and she helped me pick out many decoration items that really enhanced the feel of the party - She was on all day on the day of the party, handled all vendors, and was able to quickly solve fire drills that I needed help with. This also allowed me to enjoy the party myself, knowing she was there taking care of everything behind the scenes. - She gave me different points of view to what I was originally thinking in terms of floor plan design, etc. and allowed me to come up with a better design that fit the venue better and enhanced the atmosphere and highlighted the decoration. I could make this review longer, but in conclusion, our party turned out great, and my fellow classmates had so much fun! Sasha is a truly amazing event planner and I would highly recommend booking her for your event. You will be in great hands!

Booking Sasha as our day-of coordinator was one of the best investments we made in our wedding! She was easy to work with in advance, being flexible with our schedules and giving us supportive homework. She coordinated well with all our other vendors, gave us some good ideas for how to improve our party, and expertly ran our rehearsal. On the big day, she took care of every little detail - keeping us on schedule and ensuring our day was exactly what we wanted. She had a calm, friendly demeanor throughout the night, which eased any feelings of stress. We can't speak highly enough of Sasha, and her assistant Alta, and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in OBX!

Sasha was fantastic! I met Sasha through Forever and a Day Wedding Planning. Sasha was tasked with being the day-of coordinator for my wedding in Corolla, NC. She was honestly so great! When she showed up she took over managing all the vendors, directing where and when everyone needed to be somewhere and took all the stress off of me so I could get ready and really enjoy the day. She was flexible when we wanted to change the timeline by a few minutes and offered great suggestions to make the day go by so smoothly. She really made our wedding day so stress free and we were able to enjoy every moment of it thanks to her!
