Spectacular Saturdays Weddings and Events

spot at the park where we had our ceremony) was truly priceless. On the day of the wedding, the weather radar was so unpredictable and we werent sure if our outdoor ceremony would happen. Vanessa kept me updated on how the weather was looking but did it with such an ease that didn’t stress me out. She would tell me the weather situation and give me 2 options of how to move forward - which was so helpful for me as the bride to just pick out of two options instead of over-thinking a solution. Luckily the rain held off and we were able to quickly get our ceremony done outside. I would recommend her to anyone, but out of town brides should definitely consider her!!

he month of and it was one of the most seamless and easiest parts of my wedding. Vanessa was extremely easy to communicate with before the wedding and the weekend of the wedding (and even after) Shannon and Kim were exceptional. I really don’t have the words to describe how much I appreciated working with them. They were professional, friendly, and just all around helped me have a spectacular wedding day. I would book with them again in a heart beat

which is exactly what I would have wanted on my wedding day! She was perfectly direct and sweet at the same time! My day wouldn't have been the same without her!

ct vendors and nail down little details that I hadn't even thought of yet, and I was so thankful for that. I felt very taken care of on my wedding day. Shannon would come by and let me know what was happening next or if we were behind schedule, etc. They made sure I had a drink or food and even held a cell phone light by the seating chart for guests to find their names. I'm so thankful they were there on my wedding day. Booking Spectacular Saturdays is one of the best decisions you can make!

t other vendors to select, to explaining aspects of the ceremony that worried me and what my options were, to keeping me on track with selection due dates and payments, she was SO easy and kind to work with. We had a great day and I was so much less stressed knowing she was in charge and really understood what we wanted from the day.

ng so that all I had to do was be told where to stand and what was next. I could relaaaxxxxxx and truly enjoy my friends, family, and new husband :) All my guests were talking about how perfect my wedding was DAYS after the fact. I credit a lion's share of that to Vanessa.

wedding and we went over all of the details: who the vendors were, what materials were involved (party favors, table chart/seating assignments, place cards, etc - and they were on top of everything! We ended up ordering 120 3-pack mini cupcakes as party favors which were delivered a day before the wedding, and Vanessa helped to coordinate putting the custom stickers we ordered on all of the packages which the team ultimately placed at everyone’s seat. Vanessa also helped us to outline a detailed timeline for the day of and circulated this to all of the vendors (photographer, hair and makeup, etc) so everyone was organized and knew when and where they needed to be. Special shout out to Shannon as we ended up having an emergency issue with the wedding dress. Long story short, we realized the original tailoring was done incorrectly and pins were left in the dress, keeping it held up. The pins were pulled out by the bridesmaids not realizing that doing so made the dress impossible to move around in. We found this out only 30 minutes before cocktail hour began, and we were nervous that we would not be able to do the special dance we had planned and practiced for an entire month leading up to the wedding. Shannon was able to find a bridal shop that closed within 20 minutes, got them on the phone and explained the situation. She worked with our reception venue to get us a car ride over there. The bridal shop finished putting pins back in the dress so that my wife could move around in it sufficiently in order to perform the first dance. We got back to the venue in the car with Shannon with about 10 minutes before the reception started. The dance ended up going smoothly and everyone loved it! Now we will have this as a lifelong memory. It was all due to Shannon’s quick thinking and action that made that moment possible for us. She was cool, calm, and collected under pressure, and executed under time constraints so that everything ended up working out. So again to summarize, we’d like to highly recommend the entire team at Spectacular Saturday’s for all of your wedding needs. Thank you guys so much!!!!

f. I wanted to be able to plan my own day and knew I could take care of getting vendors hired but she was there for everything. If I had questions, she would answer them and offer advice. She also directed our rehearsal which we really needed. My wedding day went so smoothly start to finish. I just had to wake up, stay calm, and enjoy my day. She coordinated with all my vendors and made sure they were all on the same page. She set up my decorations exactly how I imagined and made my day everything it could have been. It rained for 20 mins about an hour before my ceremony and she made sure to wipe off all the guest chairs. I didn't have to worry about a thing.

omehow they even got candles lit on a very windy day! My bridal party and family loved the planners as well and couldn't have been more complimentary!

t as well. Since my event was a little smaller (rehearsal dinner for 68), I originally planned to handle it myself. I am so glad I did not do that! She saved me countless hours planning, and the day of the event was stress free for me. I could not have created an event as beautiful as she did. I highly recommend her!

in carrying 4 bags of decor she didn't even blink! She was happy to make sure everything I brought was set up beautifully. She reached out to all my vendors in a timely manner and reached out when she had not heard from one. On the day of I continually thought I was running behind (because that is just who I am as a person) and was always so happily surprised to see we were right on schedule thanks to Vanessa. I knew she always had my back throughout the day and could not have asked for a better person to keep everything flowing perfectly. I could not recommend her more!

e made sure the timeline was stuck to and everything was where it needed to be! I will be forever grateful that she made our wedding what it was.

il is amazing. She made the wedding planning experience seamless and with her on our sides, I knew we were in good hands. I would highly recommend Vanessa for your upcoming wedding, you will you will be thankful you did.

have booked the Month-Of package or more. However, let me praise them all regardless: Vanessa was awesome. She answered every email I’d send to her from the very beginning, including vendor recommendations, answered any questions, helped me begin a timeline, and then two weeks out, started reaching out to my vendors, establishing contact, touching base and making all arrangements and double checking times/delivery arrangements. We had Shannon help us coordinate our rehearsal, and I cannot say enough good things about this woman! She is so attentive, such a pleasurable person to talk to, and absolutely puts the bride and groom at ease. She led the rehearsal with skill, promptness and expertise— told everyone where and what to do, and had it flowing smoothly! On the day of, Shannon stepped up, with her assistant Kim, and let me tell you, they are ROCKSTARS. She put out fires, ran around and made sure everything happened the way it should— they set out my desserts and cake when I realized the company didn’t, they brought us food and water from cocktail hour during our photos after the ceremony, they brought us drinks and our dinner so we didn’t have to worry about serving ourselves— coached us through the whole day and SAVED THE DAY by climbing under my wedding dress and figuring out that french bustle when MOH and MOB couldn’t. In a heartbeat I would absolutely scream to the heavens, if you don’t do Month-Of coordination, HIRE THEM for Week-Of. The stress that I would have had dealing with last minute vendor problems were ZERO because of Vanessa, Shannon and Kim.

ient with me and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. She checked in on me during the wedding day and kept everything on track. If you're hesitating on getting a wedding coordinator/planner, I highly recommend you get one and that you pick Vanessa.

destination wedding was actually an enjoyable process. Vanessa genuinely cared about my daughter and went above and beyond to help us create her dream wedding. Not once were we overwhelmed with the planning process. From our very first phone call, all the way to packing up our car after the bride and groom exit, we never felt any stress, all thanks too Vanessa. She was extremly responsive and super helpful every step of the way. Vanessa shared her incredible team of vendors with us that are truly exceptional in their fields. I believe her knowledge in the wedding industry and her relationships with the vendors, truly made my daughters wedding day a dream come true. Because of Vanessa's experience, and attention to EVERY detail, we all were able to enjoy every moment her wedding day without worrying, Her timeline was essential to ensuring things went as planned and getting everyone where they needed to be on time. We were so impressed with the professionalism and sense of security Vanessa provided to us throughout this entire process. She was able to take my daughter's vision and fine tune every detail and bring it to life. Vanessa is kind, patient, and a calming force throughout the entire process. Her organizational skills and desire for perfection can't be matched. Our family and friends are still talking about what a perfect day it was :) If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to work with Vanessa, you will never regret your decision. I 100% recommend her services. Vanessa felt like family by wedding day! I am so grateful we found her! Thank you Vanessa for making all of Katlyn's wedding dreams become a reality.

mely accommodating, flexible and above all understanding of our situation. Thankfully we were able to work out a fair resolution for all parties in the end. We are extremely sad we could not work with Vanessa in the capacity we would have liked as just from our limited experience with her it was bound to be a great event. Highly recommend!

and she was just extremely helpful. I highly recommend Vanessa for any event. She will make it stress free and she will be the one taking calls and running around so no one else has to!

at getting everyone organized and on track right down to the sparkler send off. We had an amazing wedding and she helped put it all together!

edding in Savannah from North Carolina and had limited opportunities to actually drive to Savannah to plan in person. Vanessa knew a lot about the Savannah vendors and her recommendations were spot on. She stayed true to what my vision was for the wedding and did everything she could to help us carry it out. The day of the wedding, everything was perfect and my husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing. Even when there was a slight mishap with my bustle, Vanessa was on it right away safety pinning my bustle back into place. I could not have imagined a more perfect day. Thanks Vanessa for all your hard work and helping create our dream wedding!

cked the "week of" package. She took so much pressure off me the final week, rallying vendors, setting timelines, etc. and the day before, setting up the venue, making sure I knew it was all handled. The day of she was such a blessing - as I didn't know where to go/what to do 1/2 the time, she helped move things along, made sure we ate, and worked in the background on things I probably don't even know about. Highly, highly recommend her :)

y had their important elements as well. She swooped in and was able to mediate and seamlessly coordinate all of the moving pieces for us. She was responsive, connected, and truly a joy to work with. She was able to be firm, organized, and still be such a pleasure to us and our guests throughout the stress of the day. We are so so happy we decided to hire her for our day.

inspired to write a review after our wedding together. We have been shooting weddings since 2005 and we love wedding coordinators who not only go above and beyond for their clients which she does, but also love what they do. This is so evident in her attitude and how she communicated with everyone involved. We loved her positive vibe, she is easygoing, and genuinely cared for our couple. Everything ran on time and smoothly and we endorse and recommend her 100%. We really hope to be back in Savannah soon, and we look forward to working with her again.

d, and stress-free throughout the entire process. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, I HIGHLY recommend you pick Vanessa - You will not be disappointed!

ad the best suggestions to make our evening perfect! It was easy working with her and we loved the final product! We could not have been happier!

Vanessa Saturday. She is truly one of the best, world-class professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Vanessa helped me and my husband plan a wedding in Savannah in about 3 months from New York City. It was particularly challenging because we did the wedding at two venues - both of which were completely empty and required us to coordinate and rent everything down to the forks, plates, napkins etc. Given our short time frame, and the fact that we had non-traditional venues AND that there was more than one venue, the wedding was logistically challenging to plan. There were many many moving parts and vendors we had to work with. And, to top it all off, we were not even in Savannah nor did we have any family or friends that could help out locally. Working with Vanessa actually made the process enjoyable. Not only does she have an incredibly strong foothold in Savannah (she knows basically every vendor and so you can ask her for anything, and she has a list of people she immediately contacts), she also always makes you know she is on your side as her client. We had some specific requests - i.e. putting flowers all over our car, creating a marching band parade between venues etc - and each time she would go and figure out how to go forward with logistically challenging plans. I also appreciated her responsiveness. She was truly readily available whenever I reached out to her, which especially towards the month of the wedding was multiple times a day. And what was great about it, was I would call, email or text her and she would pick up already knowing exactly what I was calling about and already handy with a solution or an update to my question. The day of the wedding was honestly 100x better because she was there with her staff member (who though I didn't really correspond with, was there the day of the wedding and was incredibly helpful and kind). We didn't worry about anything other than getting ourselves to the wedding hall. At the end of the wedding, Vanessa brought back all of our items from the venues to our hotel. Truly, I cannot say enough good things about her as a person and wedding planner. If you are even on the fence about hiring a planner or hiring Vanessa versus anyone else, take it from me that you should just do it. It will be the best money you ever spent and it will make your big day much more enjoyable and frankly, just better overall :). I vetted multiple other wedding planners in the area, and trust me, there is no one better.

you (the client) first. There were several things that did not go as planned on my wedding day, like the florist not delivering what was on our contract. Vanessa did not hesitate for even a second before she was in contact with a different florist to correct it. Her and Shannon took over every aspect of our ceremony setup and it was PERFECT. Also, working within the wedding industry Vanessa is every other vendors' dream to work with. Her communication skills and constant peace that she always radiates is one of a kind! The first decision I made after getting engaged (before even deciding on a date) was hiring Vanessa and Shannon. Simply THE BEST!!!

tremendously with other vendors, and always a smiling face! Vanessa met with me on several occasions that catered to me and my time but probably not so much hers and I didn't say it at the time but it was greatly appreciated! The day of the wedding she provided just the ease and comfort that i needed. The weather was a little chaotic, however seeing her confidence and calmness reflected on me! She made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted and was so sweet and gentle the whole way through!!!! Definitely a SPECTACULAR SATURDAY WEDDING!!!!!!

a week and a half before our ceremony/reception and she handled everything! Vanessa truly has it all: she is extremely professional, organized, kind, thoughtful, efficient, and made every detail of her services so personal. She genuinely took the time to get to know me and my husband. Easily the best decision of my wedding. She always made me feel like I was the only bride on her schedule and showed as much excitement about the event as I did! Vanessa you are amazing at what you do and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day/planning experience. Thank you so much!!

ive more than 5 stars! Our day couldn’t have gone smoother.

ve to worry about anything that day except having fun. She truly went above and beyond.

the entire year of planning and would listen to any concern or question we had and would always makes us feel so much better. We only truly met her in person 3 times but it didn't matter, by the time of the wedding we had a close relationship and I knew that she had everything under control. Our wedding was THE BEST DAY EVER. I truly mean it. Not one thing went wrong. It was just SO fun and so lovely and even better than I could have imagined. If you're having trouble deciding whether or not it's worth to hire Vanessa, I'm telling you, it's worth it!

the start. We spoke throughout the planning process and she worked with us whenever we needed help or guidance. From the rehearsal and making sure everything was in line the day before, working with the vendors, making the schedule for the day of the wedding, and keeping our minds at ease was amazing. I cannot thank Vanessa or Shannon enough for how amazing they made our special day!

question and freak out. She let me be my control freak self while still managing me and the entire process. When things came up last minute, she didn't even blink an eye. She was funny and sweet and just extremely comforting to have by my side. I had a million ideas in my head, but wanted to give her creative license because she knew my venue so well. The decorations (and entire day) that I put in her hands turned out better than my dreams. I have told everyone I know that hiring planner is the best wedding gift I gave myself, but I'm bummed for them because they aren't in Savannah to hire THIS planner. She's priced reasonably, extremely attentive, quick with responses, and has an eye for the smallest of details. If you want as much of a stress-free day as possible, I promise you will find it with Vanessa!

erded the wild grooms party. I requested to walk down the aisle at an exact MINUTE and without Vanessa and her team, that would not have happened. You NEED her as part of your day, I promise!

less stressful knowing I had her to take care of everything. She answered all my silly questions leading up to the wedding and gave great advice whenever needed. It’s really helpful having someone who has seen soooo many weddings and getting her advice on what she’s seen other Bride’s do (especially in your exact venue). On the actual day of my wedding Vanessa had 2 of her assistants working with me in lieu of her and they were just as awesome! And Vanessa was there at the end of the evening to see me off and make sure everything went as planned (and it did). Spectacular Saturday’s is worth every penny and then some. If you want to be able to breathe easy on your wedding day then don’t wait and go ahead hire Vanessa!

or that is exactly what is needed. I could not find my veil and panicked right before pictures, turns out it was in my husbands car on the floor under a seat, and I told Vanessa and 5 minutes later it was in my hands! The best decision we made. Thank you again!!!!!! We will be forever grateful to Vanessa!

myself crazy! On top of her professionalism and can do attitude - she's just so nice to work with! I would absolutely recommend her hands down! She will take all the stress off your plate and handle everything perfect on the big day! Thank you, Vanessa!

in all aspects of wedding planning–from the vendors to the timeline to all my random lists of questions. I loved how she provided the BEST suggestions along the way. My day was perfect, and we had no stress on the wedding day thanks to all the work she was doing behind the scenes!! We can’t thank Vanessa enough for all her help! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the most marvelous wedding of all time!

rs. With her at the helm, our wedding and reception was on time, on track, and she kept running smoothly. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.

our big day rolled around. We didn't have to worry about a thing. She was excellent at coordinating with all the vendors and managing the wedding party. I would do it all over again with Vanessa Saturday! Thanks!

my life thus far worry-free in large part because of Vanessa. She is savvy, pleasant, and professional - she knows what she’s doing to arrange the details that make your wedding day go smoothly. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to hire her to breathe easy and simply ENJOY one of the happiest days of your life. 5-stars, A+, essential, highly recommend!

easier and less stressful, bc planning a wedding definitely is! I highly recommend Spectacular Saturdays for anyone who is engaged! They have every type of package from day of to full on wedding planner and everything in between! you wont regret choosing them- Worth every penny! I can't thank them enough for making my day so special!!

everything I imagined plus more! It was the prettiest wedding I have ever been to. Vanessa is the best of the best!
