Hiring Samie and Something Perfect to plan my wedding was the best and most instrumental decision I made. My venue, the Mint Museum, included her on a list of preferred vendors and...
Samie and I really connected after our intro call. She helped me through everything including a two year planning process with pandemic-related challenges and changes and made everything easy and fun. I'm a busy working professional and cannot imagine how hard it would have been to do this without her help. Her guidance was invaluable and every vendor she recommended was a 10/10, she is very familiar with all vendors in our region. She gave me and my big day all of her attention (including on my wedding day when she was 9 months pregnant!) and always made me feel like a priority. She was also an expert about budgeting and made sure I stayed on track and only recommended vendors that fit my needs. She also expertly understood my design vision and made it come to life. Samie helped me plan my dream wedding and I could not be more thankful. You will not regret hiring her and her team.
Lauren and Something Perfect were everything we wanted in a Wedding Coordinator and more! We opted for the "Something Coordinated" which had us meeting with Lauren 6 weeks out from...
our wedding to help us hammer out the fine details. Lauren was extremely thorough and organized, ensuring that every aspect of our day was thought of (many things we wouldn't have thought to consider!). On the Wedding day, she was prompt and truly made our day run so smoothly. We would 100% use Lauren and Something Perfect again!
Samie and Something Perfect are behind the success of great weddings. Sammie's experience and expertise guided us through the planning, cancellation (Covid) and re-planning. Every ...
event was perfect, but only because we had Samie behind the scenes attending to every detail. Always with a smile on her face, she truly took on anything and everything to ensure that everyone had an amazing experience. I highly recommend her and her team.
I simply cannot say enough good things about Samie and the Something Perfect Team. I was blown away by Samie and how wonderful she was to work even before her entire industry and ...
every event on her books was rocked by this global pandemic. But even then, Samie didn't miss a beat. She never stopped showing up for us and checking in on us. I truly don't know how she did it, but even in those most stressful days of rescheduling, Samie showed up with a smile and the most positive, calming energy and made everything okay.
The other wonderful thing about Samie is that wonderful people tend to surround themselves with more wonderful people. I would have signed up for a third year of wedding planning just to have a reason to keep hanging out with the incredible group of vendors she pulled together for us. Our photographer, baker, caterer, venue, florist, musicians, hair & makeup team and more all just blew me away with their amazing talents and passion for their work.
The wedding itself was under budget and over expectations. A once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish forever. Do yourself a favor and let Samie help pull off your special day!
Samie & team at Something Perfect planned our wedding and they were incredible to work with! Samie is responsive, professional, and truly knows the business of wedding planning ins...
ide & out. Samie provided lists of recommended vendors, which helped tremendously as we started our planning process. She also reviewed each of our vendor contracts to ensure they were sound, and reviewed our wedding stationary suites for etiquette and accuracy. She answered countless questions I had, and was truly such an amazing resource to have in our corner throughout the planning process. If you are wondering if you need a coordinator/planner - you do! And if you're thinking of booking a wedding planner, look no further than Something Perfect - I can't recommend them highly enough!
Samie made our wedding an absolutely dream. If anything went wrong behind the scenes, she hid it from me well. Everything was perfect! I’m actually sad I won’t have regular calls ...
with her now. She’s so incredibly sweet and thinks of everything. I originally thought I wouldn’t need a planner but it was the best money I’ve ever spent! She made the planning process so much easier and handled every thing on the big day.
Throughout the pandemic, my husband and I had to make several changes as you can imagine. We change our wedding date 2 times. We also had to move venues 2 months before the big day...
. And that's just a few of the changes...Without the help of the team at Something Perfect, I don't know what we would have done. Samie talked to me on the phone as I cried when I had to change my date. Her kindness helped me through one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make. Then, her team helped me pull off a last minute venue change and made our day run so beautifully. We had tons of moving parts and we even had to move indoors due to rain, but they made me feel right at ease. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I am an organized bride and I always thought I'd save money by not needing a wedding planner, but boy was I wrong. I needed them so much and I couldn't imagine my day without them. I will forever be grateful of their services and I cannot recommend them enough. 5 stars are not enough!!
You cannot. I repeat. You cannot. Fully enjoy your wedding day without a skilled, professional planner/coordinator. The ladies at Something Perfect are beyond professional, calm, a...
nd impeccable and execution. I had to reschedule and then fully replan my wedding due to Covid and Samie and Katherine were there with words or encouragement and resources to get me through. My day would not have happened without them and i can not recommend them enough.
Planning a wedding is always stressful, but my wife and I had a global pandemic to add to that stress! Thankfully we had Samie to help us every step along the way.
We unfortunatel...
y had to change the date of our wedding once, and change the venue three times. One of those venue changes came six days before the wedding! But, Samie found a way to not just make it work for us, but to greatly exceed our expectations.
For all of the bad luck that we experienced in the days leading up to our wedding, the day of couldn't have gone any better. The space was completely transformed from a rooftop bar into an elegant wedding venue. Samie worked with the onsite staff to remove anything from the room that wasn't bolted down, and bring in beautiful tables and linens. Everything from the menus to the place cards to the various signs we gave her were perfectly placed and positioned. We didn't have to worry about a thing the day of.
We know that it could not have been easy for Samie either to help us re-plan our wedding multiple times this summer, and we really appreciate her working through this with us. We know if she could plan our wedding four times with a venue change six days out, she can definitely plan yours once :)
We have only positive things to say about working with Lauren and Samie with Something Perfect! They basically helped plan two weddings for us because we decided to downsize after ...
covid restrictions affected our original plans.
Lauren helped take charge, since we knew absolutely nothing about planning a backyard wedding. She helped find us new vendors that we needed to arrange for a tent, lighting and tables. Lauren and Samie were worth their weight in gold when our band pulled out the day before the wedding, and they helped us find a DJ, who was wonderful in every way.
No matter your vision (even if a pandemic changes your vision three months before the wedding), I’m confident that Lauren could help you plan an amazing wedding!
My fiance and I were new to Charlotte when we started wedding planning, and we didn't know many people in the area when we moved, so I was pretty immediately overwhelmed with all o...
f our vendor and venue options. I decided to meet with Samie at Something Perfect to learn more about how they could help and I immediately knew I was in good hands. She welcomed me with a glass of champagne and a friendly smile, and worked with me to develop a custom package that worked within my budget. Lauren Gomez was assigned as my planner and truly become my wedding hero over the many months we worked together. Lauren did an amazing job presenting me with a multitude of venue and vendor options throughout the planning process. She also helped coordinate meetings for me, handled all of the logistics, and honestly kept me sane! She was always available to me when I needed her and never fed into my emotions when I started to feel overwhelmed. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way and I give most of the credit to Lauren and her super planning powers! She kept me unaware of any issues that arose on wedding day and handled them like a pro. I swear she even held back the forecasted rain showers! Lauren has even helped me after our wedding in suggesting a wedding dress cleaner and giving me instructions on how to change my last name. If you are looking for a wedding planner in Charlotte, I cannot recommend Lauren and Something Perfect highly enough!!! I do not know what my wedding would have been without their help and expertise. They have great relationships with all of the major players in Charlotte and are constant professionals through every interaction. I trusted them implicitly to have my back throughout the entire process and I recommend you do the same!
Lauren and Samie are the reason why our wedding ran so seamlessly and perfectly. They both catered to every nuance and need my husband and I had. On our big day, we did not have an...
y stress or any frantic worries. The ladies and their team ensured our day was about what was most important - our love.
I cannot recommend the ladies of Something Perfect enough. They saw our wedding through from start to finish and made our dream come to life. They will be with you every step of the way.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. It is surely a day our families will never ever forget.
Holy moly! I knew I was going to need some coordination when it came to my wedding day - I felt like I had the major vendor bookings under control, but I wanted a second set of eye...
s (and opinion) on making sure all the smaller details of my day were perfect. Enter Lauren - she is incredibly thorough and made sure I had thought of anything I could possibly want or need as it related to my wedding day. She ensured my vision came to life, everything ran on time and smoothly, and made sure my family and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the big day. I can't recommend Something Perfect or Lauren enough. If you are on the fence about needing help planning or coordinating, I would not hesitate!! I would hire Something Perfect 10x over again.
Weddings can be a very stressful time for brides and I can say with all honesty, I had no stress and that is because of Samie's team! We don't live in Charlotte, and had to plan f...
rom another state and her team was amazing in finding us great vendors and locations. I know we could not have enjoyed our special day without them! Knowing I could just live in the moment and enjoy it was priceless.
SomethingPerfect is the best! We alrmeeady knew a lot of the vendors we wanted to use, so we opted for the coordination package. We worked with Lauren & we couldn’t have had such a...
perfect day without her. She was so easy to work with, super kind & accommodating, and always stood up for what we wanted. She did a great job coordinating with our vendors, creating our timeline (amazing), and reminding us of the little things we would have likely forgotten. Our day was perfect & we couldn’t have done it without SomethingPerfect’s help!
This team was OUTSTANDING. We immediately were blown away by their attention to detail and the amount of information they absorbed so quickly during the planning process. They were...
not afraid to be honest with us and guide us towards choices that would be right for our day. On the wedding day, they were on the nose for timing, setup and organization. Another plus - they remained calm and discrete for any curveballs. We even got feedback from our guests that they were extremely helpful! I would book Something Perfect ten times over and I hope many couples get to experience their magic.
We worked with Samie from the very beginning of the planning process and it was one of the best decisions we made. Samie took the time to get to know us, guide us through our budg...
et, and select vendors that made the most sense. Her process for deciding how to spend our budget was great since it ensured that we spent money in areas that meant the most to us. When we were selecting vendors, Samie always presented a quality selection, including many she had worked with before, at different price points near the budget. If we had to do that research ourselves, we definitely wouldn't have ended up with so many great folks around us on our day. Lastly, Samie was absolutely in control on the big day. She kept an extremely detailed schedule that included us taking time as a couple after the ceremony and before the reception. Those moments are some of our favorites from the whole weekend, and we wouldn't have set aside that time if Samie hadn't insisted. I truly can't recommend Something Perfect enough!
I am sooooo glad we decided to hire a wedding planner... more specifically, Something Perfect! My husband and I were new to the city and extremely busy, with no clue how to start p...
lanning something this meaningful and detailed. I found Something Perfect while searching online and loved reading all of their positive reviews. We met with Samie at their office and she was so sweet and patient with us. We ended up working with Lauren, who is amazing! She helped us create a detailed budget and timeline, checked in on us monthly, and was KEY to making our special day flow. As a busy grad student, she was also very flexible and understanding with my schedule. Even with obstacles (rain, last minute added vendors, an insane amount of decor, etc.), she executed everything flawlessly and I never stressed. I highly recommend this team. They truly want to make your special day something perfect! :)
When me and my wife started looking at the average wedding costing $35k in Charlotte, the excitement of our engagement faded very quickly. Our budget wasn’t going to be anywhere ne...
ar that and we weren’t sure what to do. Luckily Samie with Something Perfect has our back. She was so good at helping us figure out where we could spend and where we could save some money. We weren’t always the easiest couple but Samie was always patient with us and kept us sane. Me and my wife had no much went into planning a wedding and how many little decisions we had to make. Samie guided us through every little decision and was a calming presence when the decision making stressed us out.
On wedding day, Samie and Lauren and the rest of the Something Perfect team were amazing. Any problems that occurred they handled with out us or any of our guests even noticing. Thanks to Something Perfect we had our dream wedding and didn’t have to break our budget.
As the mother of the groom It is difficult to know what to do without stepping on toes. With the help of Something Perfect, everyone felt part of the wedding. Samantha Roberts alwa...
ys was willing to listen to my thoughts and ideas; and helped us to understand what we should be doing to make this day special for our wonderful son and his beautiful wife. She and her staff were always kind, professional and there when we needed them. Neither the brides family or myself had to feel stress about if something would go awry. To be able to enjoy the day was a gift we were given by Something Perfect. Thank you again ladies!
Something Perfect sums up our experience with Samie! When first meeting Samie I knew she was the wedding planner I wanted to work with. She was friendly, vivacious, professional a...
nd extremely knowledgeable about all things wedding. She was able to take my ideas and bring them to life. I knew my wedding would turn out great but it was way more than I could have ever expected! Our guests are still taking about how amazing and beautiful our wedding was-- from the band, to the food, to the decor.. we have only heard great things. She made the entire wedding process feel so smooth even with hiccups I would throw her way. She was able to work with us through moments of uncertainty and provide the sense of relief I needed. She was always so reassuring and positive. I can only say great things about Samie and I highly recommend her to all future brides!
As we began to logistically think about planning a wedding, we thought a planner could be helpful. Little did we realize our wedding planner would end up making our process and we...
dding day a complete dream! We worked with Samie Roberts of Something Perfect and her excitement about our day along with her calming presence and organized execution of every task were just what we needed.
We loved Samie’s warm personality from our first introduction and once we decided to work with her she continued to impress us. She gave us a concrete, specific plan based on our budget and priorities. This plan, along with her targeted recommendations based on our style/preferences, led us to our amazing wedding vendors. She constantly set us up for success with an thoroughly helpful (and beautiful) binder and came to so many of our appointments with us as we made decisions. She was always quickly accessible by email/phone and met us after work hours to accommodate our schedules. Until we got started, I had no idea how many moving parts there would be for a wedding and Samie kept us on track and was so organized – making sure we never missed a payment deadline or contract submission date. Samie handled the gritty details with a fun yet professional attitude and let us enjoy the process.
Beyond all the planning, the week of the wedding was a breeze, too! On several occasions during and since, my mom and I have talked about how easy and smooth it was. Samie and her team coordinated all the logistics/details (even bustling my dress and helping with those tiny buttons!) and we just had to show up. It was a wonderful gift to be fully immersed in the day and know what a pro we had running the show. I can’t list everything single thing Something Perfect handled (I’m know I’m not even aware of everything they did on our behalf), but I truly can’t imagine the day without their help. Samie has a gift of exuding calmness while also being so on top of everything. She made the planning fun and enjoyable and our day unforgettable. We’ll forever be grateful we worked with Something Perfect to plan our wedding!
I don't even have the words to express how magnificent Samie and the something perfect team was.
Paying attention to every detail up to the big day is such an understatement but ...
that is the best way to describe it. We had a longer engagement but Samie and team always kept us on task excited for the big day! There was never any pressure when it came to using certain vendors or styles but when we needed advice they were sure to provide us with more then enough options.
When it came to the day of, I couldn't even tell you if something went wrong because Samie was on top of it. The wedding party and our families were where they needed to be due to the play by play schedule Samie customized for each group (bridesmaids, groomsmen, Brides family, grooms family, etc). Something perfect made sure our day really was Something Perfect all the way through!
Samie, thank you for making our day and our experience over the top. We will forever be so thankful for all of your hard work to make our day the best day of our lives. We love you Something Perfect!
I cannot put into words how grateful I am that we worked with Lauren and Something Perfect for our wedding! As soon as we got engaged I became overwhelmed with all of the planning ...
and decisions that needed to be made, of course I wanted our wedding to be perfect and reflect who we are as a couple, so I knew I needed help. I can honestly say that Lauren and the Something Perfect team made our wedding the most beautiful, stress-free day.
Lauren is not only one of the kindest people to work with, she is also the most organized person I have ever met! She truly kept every aspect of the wedding on track and took so much stress off of me, I am incredibly grateful to have had her insight and vision for our day. She was easily accessible, always responding to my emails and many questions timely. The online planning portal that Something Perfect utilizes made it quite easy to visualize where we were in the planning process, what to-dos we needed to complete, and easily communicate with her about vendors, thoughts, and questions. This portal was tremendously helpful in keeping us on track.
The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Every detail, every person, every moment was perfect and I truly thank Lauren and Something Perfect for that. Lauren took care of so many things on the day of the wedding (insuring tips were given to all vendors, tying the bowties for the groomsmen, securing my veil right before I walked down the aisle, helping my maid of honor with my dress, etc) in addition to creating the perfect flow and design of our night. She allowed my husband and I to just focus on each other, and that was one of the best parts of the night. As a bride, there is no better reassurance than knowing that the planing team had everything completely under control- I did not worry about one thing the entire day/night.
Being able to work with Lauren and Something Perfect was one of the best decisions that my husband and I could have made. I cannot say enough how grateful we were to have had her insight, expertise, and kindness throughout our engagement and planning process!
We couldn't have done our wedding without Samie and her team! I was firmly in the "no need for a planner" camp until meeting with her and changed my mind immediately! Her calm deme...
anor, can-do attitude and checklists were so helpful. As planning went on, she kept us on track and helped all the little details flow together. She thought of everything to make the day run smoothly. The team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day even better than we could have ever imagined.
Something Perfect is outstanding! We interviewed several planners before meeting with Samie, and knew her team was the one right away. Samie checked in on us a couple times before ...
we got assigned to Lauren, which was very humbling. Lauren was a rockstar and the sole reason our wedding day truly was the best day ever. We entrusted her every step of the way, and she exceeded our expectations. She didn’t even sigh when our timeline had to be rearranged 2 days before because we decided last minute to incorporate a first look! We have and will continue to recommend Something Perfect!
I have to say that the Something Perfect team did such a wonderful job. I contacted Samie last minute needing a wedding planner and she made me feel at ease from the first time I s...
poke with her. Ashley was our wedding coordinator and I can not say enough good things about her. Ashley went out of her way to make sure everything was how it should be. The big day went so smoothly I thought surely it can't be this easy! Ashely was on it from day one and I am so fortunate that I had her to help me along the way. I HIGHLY recommend this team of wonderful people.
Samie went above and beyond to make our wedding day stress free. During the planning process, she provided great suggestions and made decision-making so easy for me, which was much...
appreciated since I was living in DC at the time. On our wedding day, she handled the small hiccups behind the scenes that inevitably come with a wedding day. But they were so minor and handled so discreetly by Samie and her team, I wasn't even aware that anything had gone awry until the next day! My husband, family and I could not recommend Samie enough. She was a joy to work with and our wedding would not have been the same without her!
Absolutely amazing!! Ashely was everything I never knew I needed in a wedding coordinator, she was always there when we needed her throughout our planning, she was honest and very ...
hard working . I would recommend something perfect to any and every bride. We loved that they had multiple planning options to choose from and something for every type of bride. We went with their day of the wedding coordination package but it was so much more than that, they took the inevitable stress of the big day away, had great advice and experience!
Samie did a fantastic job and we couldn't have done it without her (which is an understatement). I
Something Perfect, specifically Samie, was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. The minute we got engaged I was stressed about all steps of the planning process and d...
etails; I had no clue where to begin! The first time I spoke with Samie I knew that it was the best thing I could do. Words cannot express our gratitude for Samie and her staff. Samie helped us achieve our most perfect day and a beautiful wedding.
Samie is a top-notch planner and we are incredibly grateful to have had her help. She was easily accessible, responding to our emails and our many questions timely. She set us up with an online portal where we could visualize where we were in the planning process, what “homework” we needed to complete, and easily communicate with her about vendors, thoughts, and questions. This portal was tremendously helpful to keep us on track. Samie always made us feel less stressed and she had everything 100% under control. She connected us with great vendor options and we LOVED all our vendors she recommended. Samie respected all our ideas and input along with giving us recommendations and suggestions based on her expertise and experience. Most importantly, Samie is a kind and friendly planner and we’ve enjoyed all our time spent with her. You can tell that Samie and the Something Perfect team is extremely passionate about what they do and that made all the difference. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Every thing, every person, every moment was perfect and I strongly attribute that to Samie and Something Perfect.
There is not a doubt in my mind that working with Samie was THE BEST decision we made and we are so grateful to have had her knowledge, expertise, and kindness throughout the last year! Working with this team will be the greatest thing you do to be able to create your most perfect day and be able to enjoy every moment of the planning process with less stress!
Hiring Something Perfect was the best decision I made! We had the “month of coordination” package and Ashley our coordinator was amazing!! She brought my whole vision together an...
d tied up all the loose ends. Our wedding day was magical and ran so smoothly, which I know she had a huge part in. She was so organized, contacted all of our vendors and made sure they were on the same page (which is the last thing you want to do right before your wedding), and guided me in the right direction when my indecisiveness took over. Ashely was so hands on and even broke down tables herself the morning of the wedding when we decided we wanted a bigger dance floor! She is very easy to talk to and was great with me and my mom which was so important to me. I would recommend something perfect to anyone getting married!!
COULD NOT ASK for anyone better - Samie did a wonderful job and I am so glad we hired her as our day-of coordinator. She was a pleasure to work with prior to the wedding, quickly r...
esponded when I got worried about the weather (it didn't rain, miraculously) and when I ordered the wrong color shirts for all the groomsmen (it worked out fine!), and just generally took care of business. I cannot imagine having my wedding without her - she and her team were worth every penny. She's professional, flexible, and works to make your wedding turn out the way you and your fiancé want it to. If any problems came up, I didn't even know about them - it was like having two of me out there running the show exactly the way I would have wanted it, but I got to enjoy the day with my bridesmaids, husband, friends and family. Thanks so much, Samie!
Hiring a wedding planner was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! We were hesitant at first due to the cost and fitting it in our budget, but it was worth every pe...
nny! We worked with Lauren at Something Perfect and we have nothing but kind words to say. We started working with Samie since Lauren was pregnant with her first child and Samie was AMAZING in getting us up and running and then communicating everything with Lauren once Lauren took over after having her child. In saying that as being a new mother, this did not distract Lauren any bit of all in helping us in any which way possible to make this journey stress free. I am one of the most indecisive people and not creative at all. Lauren put together vision boards for me based off what I told her what my vision was. She then went further and limited my options so I did not have many choices to make and if I was not happy with those options she went out and searched for more. She also made sure these choices/options within our budget!! The portal Something Perfect provides is amazing as it tracks your budget, your contacts, payments, checklists, and sends you reminders. Lauren met with us multiple times before the event, was very responsive via phone and email, and had the ceremony and reception down to the last detail. My husband and I could sit back and relax on the day of our wedding, not worrying about all of our vendors and making sure everyone was in place. She made the most important day of our lives smooth, easy and effortless. We would highly recommend Something Perfect and are so happy to have made this decision.
To say I was overwhelmed when I started thinking about pulling off my dream wedding in 7 months, while working a crazy work schedule is an understatement! Thank god I made the choi...
ce to hire Something Perfect! Samie and Lauren stayed so involved and consistently kept everything running smoothly from day one. When I was caught up in small details, they were working on big picture stuff. When I was worrying about pulling it all together, they were tending to particulars I hadn’t even thought of. They were always available and supportive. I don’t know what I would have done without them keeping me on track with timelines and assuring me it would all work out. And it did! My wedding day was everything I had hoped it would be thanks to Samie and Lauren.
In a word, SUPERB. Lauren quite literally did a perfect job with both the planning and day-of management for our wedding. I was completely without worries on my wedding day know...
ing Lauren had everything in control. Everything went seamlessly! SP does an excellent job of balancing attentiveness with freedom in helping you make design/logistical decisions. Everything would have been 100x more stressful without Lauren's help in managing vendor relationships and finding all the perfect rentals for our big day. Never overbearing, always resourceful and competent. HIGHLY recommend Something Perfect, Lauren and Samie! Thank you! :)
Literally one of the best decisions of my life. If you've ever wanted to just have someone tell you, "It's handled," Olivia Pope style, hire Samie and her team. Not only did they...
guide me and my husband, the two most indecisive people in the state of North Carolina, through the potentially overwhelming wedding planning process, they also helped us put together the wedding of our dreams. Not a single detail was missed. As someone with a very demanding job, Something Perfect helped me stay positive about the wedding planning process throughout it, rather than grow to resent it, which was truly an incredible gift in itself. Everyone keeps commenting about how happy I looked on our wedding day and I definitely credit Samie and her team with a part of that by allowing me to truly just sit back and enjoy the best day of my life. If you're thinking about doing it, do it. Sanity is priceless.
How do I describe our amazing experience with Samie and Lauren in one single review? I'm not sure if I can! They are beyond unbelievable at what they do! When we first got engaged ...
in mid-July and reached out to Samie, she hopped right on board and began providing us with options for venues and other vendors. We live in Charleston and I'm a teacher, so I knew I wanted to get as much nailed down in Charlotte before school started as I could. Michael happened to be starting a new job at the end of July and together we had just a few days of face-to-face time with Samie in Charlotte to look at venues. Once we decided on our venue, there was really only one available date for us- March 17. We had about 7 and 1/2 months of planning time but Samie executed every step flawlessly. She prioritized vendors for us based on their availability and how early she knew we needed to book them. Everyone we met with around Charlotte, from venue owners, to various photographers, to hotel staff members had nothing but kind words to say about Samie and Something Perfect. That's how you know you've got a great team!
I will be the first to admit that I was not the best at balancing wedding planning and teaching (can anyone relate here??), but Samie never once became impatient with me. If I forgot to tell her a decision on something, she would shoot me a message and remind me to let her know as soon as I could. During our wedding planning process, Michael and I had conflicting schedules, so I leaned on Samie for decisions ALOT. The amazing thing about her is, as many times as I REALLY just wanted her to make the decision for me, she knew exactly how to explain all my options and talk through them with me until I realized what was best for me and Michael. Towards the end of our wedding planning process, Samie welcomed a precious new addition to her family and was out on maternity leave for the last few weeks before my wedding. At this point Lauren stepped in seamlessly and continued working with me through every last minute decision that needed to be made. She knew everything about our wedding, and was literally such an incredible addition to my wedding planning process. I can honestly say that I was beyond fortunate to work with Something Perfect for my wedding.
The two weeks leading up to my wedding day were pretty overwhelming for my family. My grandmother passed away on March 1, and my sister and matron of honor was hospitalized and had my sweet nephew six weeks early on Friday, March 9. A specialist in the hospital told her that evening that there was zero chance she would be at my wedding. In the midst of all my emotional Friday night emails to her, Lauren kept me completely calm, reassuring me that we would do what we had to do to make it work. I'm sure there were things that I forgot to do in those last two weeks, but I couldn't tell you what they were. Lauren handled everything and made sure that my wedding day was completely perfect in the midst of the chaos. Everyone says there's always "something" that goes wrong at a wedding, but in my experience, the only thing that could go wrong at your wedding would be if you chose NOT to hire the girls of Something Perfect! They will always have a smile on their face and they will ensure that you always have a smile on yours! They will truly do whatever they need to do to make your day absolutely incredible!! Don't miss your chance to work with the kindest, happiest, most professional team around town!
Lauren and Samie were able to give my husband and I the most perfect wedding day we could have dreamed of. They were there for all of my questions, concerns and worries with profes...
sionalism and an understanding of the stress that brides go through during the wedding planning process. I always felt welcomed and understood when sharing concerns, and Lauren had a fix for every little issue that cropped up along the way! She even ensured that the day of went smoothly by keeping everyone on time and ensuring that our groomsmen snafu was quickly taken care of (somebody may have gotten a glove stuck on their hand minutes before our ceremony)! It is thanks to them that our day truly was something perfect!
Samie and Lauren were both a HUGE help on my big day. I work with timelines and project planning day in and day out, so I knew that on my wedding day I wanted to be zero percent in...
charge. Lauren was my day of coordinator and having the extra help leading up to our day was irreplaceable in terms of reducing my stress. I told her I didn't even want to know what time it was on my wedding day or ANYTHING that went wrong. She delivered with flying colors. I cannot recommend Something Perfect more!
When we first got engaged the thought of planning a wedding was more than overwhelming. Something Perfect made it sooooo easy and on top of it fun! Samie did an amazing job helpin...
g us set up meetings with vendors and keeping us on track to make sure we never missed a step. Lauren made the wedding day a breeze. Everything was amazing and perfect. Better than we ever expected! Thank you ladies for all of your help!
Like a lot of budget-minded brides, I was wary of spending a chunk of my limited budget on a wedding coordinator. Now that everything is over, I can't believe I even questioned it...
. It was the single best money we spent on the wedding, because Stephanie made sure that the day of the wedding was seamless, flawless, and absolutely worry free for everyone involved.
The comprehensive meetings that brought up questions we had never even thought about were so important to making sure the event was well orchestrated and absolutely nothing went wrong on the day of the wedding. My husband and I were able to eat, dance, and enjoy every moment of our day, and then trust Stephanie to deal with all the organizing and packing up of personal items so we could have a restful night. We couldn't recommend Stephanie and Something Perfect more highly.
I truly can't imagine my wedding day without Samie and her amazing team at Something Perfect. Whenever someone I know in town gets engaged and starts asking me questions, I immedia...
tely tell them that they need to call Samie!! We knew we wanted to have our wedding near uptown and had an idea on colors, but after that we were clueless. Samie walked us through each step of our 18 month engagement and made the process easy and fun. There were so many decisions to make and remember. Sometimes we'd be at a vendor meeting and they'd ask me a question. I'd look at Samie and she'd say "you said you wanted x". Our wedding day was an absolute dream and I can't imagine it without her!!!! We met with a number of different planners, but knew from the minute we heard Samie's infectious laugh that we'd get along perfectly!!!
I do not know have the words to express how happy and easy Samie and her team made this process for my and my husband! I was planning a wedding from out of state and really have no...
idea about any vendors in the area and Samie did an amazing job giving me options within our budget to choose from. We were able to travel to Charlotte a few times and Samie set up meetings with multiple vendors for us to meet and she also set up phone meetings for when we were not able to travel there. During the planning process she listened to me and make sure I was getting what I wanted but was also up front with me about what we could or could not afford within our budget. I'm sure I was not the easiest bride to deal with but she was so patient with me and my mother! Samie also recommended we do a test bouquet, which we did 2 days before the big day, and thank god because it was all wrong but she handled everything with the florist and making sure it was right so I would not have to worry about it and it turned out perfect on the day of the wedding. Our wedding weekend was so stress and drama free I am SO thankful for Samie and her team for making it so easy for us! Hiring Something Perfect was the best decision we made for our wedding I would do it again in a heartbeat!
I could never in a million years say enough nice things about Samie and her team. They truly were the backbone of my wedding! My husband and I were feeling so overwhelmed with coor...
dinating small details of the day... it was driving us crazy! From the moment that I spoke to Samie, I knew that she had my back! Unfortunately, there were guests hanging out where they were supposed to be "holding" me before I walked down the aisle. I just wanted a moment alone with my bridesmaids to take it all in. I walked into the holding area and gasped that people were in there. I didn't say anything to Samie.... all I did was make a disappointed face... Within seconds, Samie has ushered everyone out that room! She really got to know me and knew what I wanted without me even telling her! Our day has came and went and everything was truly perfect. It could not have been better and I truly have Samie and her attention-to-detail to thank! If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator, hire Samie! You will not regret it!
I have no idea how to express in words how thankful I am for Samie and all of her hard work throughout the wedding planning process. We booked her two years out from our wedding an...
d she assisted throughout such a long engagement! When our venue was bought out, she helped us every step of the way to solve all of the problems and she was a HUGE advocate for us! We definitely would not have had the wedding of our dreams if it wasn't for her. She had everything taken care of, and did a much better job than I could have ever done. I tell everyone that the best money I spent on the wedding was towards hiring Samie! And I mean it! The day of my wedding was wonderful. I did not have a single thing to stress about, as Samie took care of everything. I just hung out with my bridesmaids and got ready. If anything went wrong that day, I was not aware and still am not. Truly amazed at how everything went and seamless the day of the wedding felt! I would recommend Something Perfect 100%
We do not have enough words for how grateful we are to SP. From the moment we met with Samie, we knew our wedding day was going to be perfect. We used their Day-of Coordination pac...
kage but received help, recommendations, and suggestions throughout our entire planning process. Samie answered emails quickly and thoroughly and made everything so simple. Our day-of planner, Stephanie, was amazing! She took the vision we had planned and made it a reality and we cannot thank her enough for that. She was accommodating with switching up meeting points and always responded to random text message questions immediately. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and it would not have been possible without Stephanie, Ryan, and the SP team. We are so happy that you all were a part of it!
We could not be happier to have had the Something Perfect team apart of our wedding day! We hired Lauren & Amy for the month of coordinating and they exceeded all expectations in s...
uch an amazing way! The best investment you can make in your day is by choosing Something Perfect!
We worked with Sammie at Something Perfect for our wedding last July and couldn't have been happier. Sammie met with us multiple times before the event, was very responsive via pho...
ne and email, and had the ceremony and reception down to the last detail. She made what could have been a very stressful day feel smooth, easy and effortless. We are so happy with our decision to work with her on our wedding day and would definitely recommend her and Something Perfect!
Hiring the Something Perfect team was the best decision I made for my wedding!!! I do not have enough kind words to say about Lauren. When I started planning my wedding I knew I wa...
nted to make all the major decisions myself but I was worried about how all those different decisions would work together on my big day. I hired Lauren as my wedding coordinator and she was amazing. She made sure I didn't miss anything and had every detail planned. From the beginning she provided a portal that allowed me to enter all my contracts, budgets, payments and checklist so I could have all those important details in one place. Once we started working together (6 weeks before my wedding) she did not stop. I am so thankful for the questions she asked me and the details she paid attention to that I would have never thought of - like if my caterer provided to go boxes at the end for all the extra food (which they didn't) or making sure the flowers would be delivered the same time I started taking pictures. These are the details you don't think about and that's what she is there for! I could go on and on about all the things that impressed me with Lauren but basically SHE WAS AMAZING AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AND HER TEAM!
