SRS Events

ll the design options and second-guessing my choices. I reached out to Stephanie and within about three weeks, had a custom design board that included vendor sources or Amazon links for each and every item. We had a call to review everything, which was so valuable for getting her take on how to make my wedding day the most beautiful it could be. She took into account our budget when creating the plan as well. She even built out our rental order AND created a virtual floor plan that I could edit myself as things changed once our final guest count came in. Cannot recommend this service enough!

ot have gone more smoothly! Stephanie worked with me to understand my vision and help make it a reality through vendor recommendations, design support, and making sure everything stayed organized. I highly recommend SRS Events for your big day!

plan the wedding while residing in another state. Thank goodness for her!!Total attention to detail, a visionary with creative ideas, calm demeanor, great suggestions, attention to detail, quick responsiveness....I could go on and on. Truly the epitome of wedding planning perfection. Simply the best!

ect of the wedding, was so attentive to every detail and provided such calmness throughout the wedding planning process. She is an absolute all-star and I can't recommend her enough!

waii and had no idea where to start - both working busy jobs & not going into planning with a vision of what we wanted. Stephanie was organized, thoughtful and punctual from the beginning, all while navigating our 6 hour time zone difference as well as planning during the height of COVID uncertainty. She made the whole process stress free which allowed us to relax and enjoy every party of our engagement and wedding day. Her design recommendations and vision were incredibly helpful, and seeing our room reveal at our wedding was one of my favorite memories of the whole day. Her day of team was also excellent and made the entire day run smoothly. I wouldn't change one thing about our wedding day and cannot recommend her enough!

e start. She made the entire process so easy--including all the prep work in advance, managing the entire team of vendors, all the way though to the wedding day itself. Our day was perfect, and felt completely seamless, so if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we had no idea! We were also so appreciative of how gracious she was with helping us reschedule due to COVID (twice!). She helped alleviate so much stress at that time, and was an absolute life-saver in handling all the added work that came with that. Stephanie was so amazing in helping us make decisions, giving us helpful suggestions on things we didn't even know we needed, and was incredibly responsive throughout. She was also great at sending us reminders about when we should be taking care of different aspects, so we never felt rushed as the final date neared. To top that all off, she had a baby during this process, and communicated with us early so even when she was taking time to be with her family, we never felt alone. I would highly recommend Stephanie to absolutely everyone!

ting one hour before our ceremony. Stephanie literally walked over to the music festival and asked the people in charge to pause it for our ceremony...and they did! In the months leading up to our wedding, we sent her so many emails with question after question and we very much relied on her for choosing all of our vendors. The day of our wedding was so meticulously planned out that we didn't have to worry about anything. Without a doubt, hiring Stephanie was the best decision we made in planning our wedding.

e process seamless. When we finally did have our wedding two years after we started working with her, the event was magical and better than I could have ever envisioned. I loved every second of my wedding day and still smile just thinking about it. None of this could have been possible without Stephanie and her team! She is very responsive by email, timely and reliable with deadlines, and has connections throughout DC to make sure that you assemble a star-studded team of vendors. Not a single detail was missed. I am sad no longer to be working with her, but the memories she helped us create will last our lifetime. Thank you, Stephanie and SRS Events!

s great having her help make decisions. She was easy to work with throughout the process, from choosing vendors, to putting together the design and decor. She also helped us navigate covid - including unpredictable restrictions in Washington, DC. On the day of, everything came together perfectly and ran so smoothly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. We’ve gotten so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and fun the wedding was!

ade it easy for us and took so much wedding planning stress away - I couldn't have done it without her. She was so fabulous as we navigated changing our wedding date, selecting vendors, and especially during the weeks leading up to our wedding coordinating all of the details. Our wedding day was so above and beyond what we had ever imagined, and Stephanie was a huge part of pulling it all together. I was actually stunned with how incredible everything was - thank you Stephanie and the SRS Events team!

y regret is not hiring SRS events sooner! She helped us every step of the way as we navigated the challenges of planning a wedding during a pandemic. Two weeks before our wedding date, we had to scramble to find a new reception venue because of the new COVID gathering restrictions in DC. Stephanie found us the perfect replacement venue that fulfilled all of our requirements. She coordinated with all of our vendors and helped us find last minute catering. She even helped arrange transportation for all of our guests. We literally could not have pulled off the wedding without them. Stephanie and her team are professional, capable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and detail-oriented. They are so on top of everything, and no detail was overlooked. The week leading up to the wedding, she made us a 10 page detailed wedding day schedule. On the wedding day, Stephanie and her team took care of EVERYTHING. The wedding day flowed seamlessly. I was able to fully enjoy the wedding day all thanks to SRS events. My husband and I, and our family and friends are so impressed with SRS events. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

m A to Z. That being said, she is very reachable, easy to work with, and knows how to accommodate. Also, when things went unexpectedly, she knew who to talk to, how to adjust, and gave me a few backup plans, which made me stress-free. And her sweet personality and calming voice were a plus!! As for design, I have to admit that I am very picky with quality and taste, but Stephanie made my special day a very romantic, sophisticated, flawless night. I got so many compliments about how beautiful my wedding was and well-planned. She created a 5-page day-of timeline for me and this tells how much she pays attention to details. She reminded me constantly what I was missing and what to do, which helped me a lot as my husband and I had crazy work schedules. I simply cannot imagine myself planning without Stephanie and sincerely appreciate all the work Stephanie, Megan and Michelle did for us! I strongly recommend SRS events!

planning decisions super easy and took away any stress or nerves I ever felt in regards to planning. I would be lost without her! She has amazing taste, is very well connected within the industry, is super sweet and always very responsive. I cannot recommend her enough!

nt and not be consumed with the unavoidable stress that comes with planning a wedding. We were not a couple that had a vision of what our dream wedding entailed and Stephanie was a pro in putting all of the design pieces together for us and making it truly ours. Our wedding was even featured on Style Me Pretty which was so exciting! There are so many behind the scenes tasks we'd never considered before and I can't tell you how many times we exclaimed "thank God for Stephanie!". She tackled every part of planning with efficiency and professionalism and we never had to question if we were dropping the ball on something. Without Stephanie's invaluable industry knowledge, we would have never been able to navigate through wedding planning so flawlessly on our own. We are forever grateful for her and the beautiful memories she's given us. We recommend her a million times over!

when she rescheduled our wedding to 2021 due to COVID-19. We honestly could not have done all of the planning, coordinating and rescheduling without her. Best decision we’ve made when it came to our wedding. I highly recommend her without any doubts!

o, so lucky to find Stephanie! Our original wedding was scheduled for December 5, 2020 and we brought Stephanie on in August 2019. Right from the start she was incredibly capable, creative, and a happy, helpful presence in our lives. She navigated a few tricky family situations seamlessly, and was ALWAYS our #1 advocate with vendors. Any time I emailed to ask her for a recommendation or advice she replied within hours with something genuinely helpful and informative. Truly her expertise is unparalleled! Sadly, like many brides and grooms, we were forced to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19. As soon as we told Stephanie we were interested in pushing our date back to 2021 she sprang into action with a detailed, manageable plan. Thanks to her quick thinking and hard work we were able to retain ALL of our vendors at the same costs we’d locked in for 2020– which is absolutely not the norm. I couldn’t believe how easy and painless she made what could’ve been a really painful and sad experience!! Stephanie really goes above and beyond for her couples, and that, combined with her events expertise and calm, composed disposition make her a truly invaluable asset to any couple! I am so relaxed about our 2021 nuptials now after working with Stephanie over this last year, and feel confident that me, my fiancé, and our families will really be able to sit back and enjoy every minute of our wedding when it comes— which is such a wonderful feeling!! In short, I can not recommend Stephanie enough. Hiring her will be the very best decision you make during your wedding planning process!

sophistication. She is a pleasure to work with-- exceedingly kind and organized. It is clear that she researches the best vendors and spends a great deal of time perfecting every element of a wedding day. You would be incredibly lucky to have her on your team for your wedding day!

rfect wedding! We hired Stephanie for full wedding planning services, and here are just a few of the many reasons why she is invaluable: ***Relationships with, and knowledge of, local wedding vendors: Stephanie knows everyone in the wedding industry in the D.C. area, and has established relationships with many of them. But the best part is that throughout our vendor selection process, she did not hand us a long list of potential vendors; Stephanie got to know us, and recommended a small, curated batch of highly regarded local vendors that she thought would best suite our tastes and needs. She saved us countless hours of researching and narrowing down lists of vendors. ***Refined taskmaster: Stephanie is the ultimate taskmaster, but not in a manner that is in any way overbearing. My husband and I both have demanding careers, and we needed help knowing where to focus our (limited) energies on wedding planning, and when. Stephanie subtly, artfully kept our wedding planning on track for nearly a year without ever nagging us. Stephanie gave us plenty of advance notice regarding upcoming decision points, did not ping us on things that she knew from professional experience were flexible, and helped us focus on one task at a time by clearly telling us what to prioritize, and when. ***Design expertise: Stephanie not only excels at managing processes, but she also is a skillful designer with exquisite taste. While the vendors ultimately brought our vision to life, Stephanie was the one to give the vendors something coherent to execute. She expertly took our jumbled thoughts and ideas and turned them into a design board with all of the colors and aesthetics we had in mind, all while providing us with valuable suggestions for linens, patterns, flowers, and other details that would fit our vision. Stephanie gave me the wedding I'd always wanted without me having to sacrifice all of my free time to wedding planning for a year. I was as close to a stress-free bride as they come, both throughout the year of planning and on the big day. In the end, our wedding exceeded all of my wildest expectations and was as close to flawless as I could have ever dreamed. Hire Stephanie!

ized and good at project management, I figured I’d easily be able to pull off planning and executing an elegant wedding. However, after being engaged for a full year, my then fiancé and I had made no progress planning our wedding. I didn’t have a dream day planned, and hadn’t given much thought to what I wanted my wedding to be like, leaving me completely lost on the planning process. That’s when we turned to Stephanie. I didn’t have a gown style in mind, didn’t know what type of a venue I saw myself getting married in, much less had any idea of how to answer the seemingly endless number of decisions to be made: Napkin fold? Charger or no charger? Matte or satin paper? Formal addressing? How long should the reception last? How much time should be in between the ceremony and the reception? The list goes on and on. I also knew I wasn’t a typical pink and pastel bride. After our first meeting, and after reviewing some of her work, Stephanie assured me she would help us achieve a wedding that reflected our styles. She did exactly that. She was easy to work with, prompt via email, and never too busy to hop on a call. Most importantly, Stephanie made sure we kept on schedule, and helped me properly prioritize the decisions we needed to make while guiding me towards the best, most practical choices. She was respectful of our budget and also went out of her way to find unique details that would appeal to me. Our wedding was unique, reflected our personalities and who we are as a couple, and blew away all our guests. They are still talking about it. I can not recommend Stephanie enough. If you’re on the fence about hiring her, don’t think twice.

being helpful, was quickly pulling me into an abyss of chaos- did I want blue, no I think neutrals. Do I want modern and edgy but oh, look at this vintage glam, but wait, boho! I had so many ideas but no clue how to organize and execute. And then along came Stephanie. From the moment I reached out it felt like we were already friends! Her energy, optimism, and positivity is palpable! After our first phone call she was able to pull my wedding day vision out of me! The next day I had a vision board and she nailed it! She was there every step of the way, calming my nerves, keeping me and all of my vendors organized, and being the glue that held everything together. She connected us with the most amazing DREAM TEAM of vendors, recommending those she has worked with in the past, that she knew and trusted would do an amazing job. She managed contracts, communication, and seemed to always be a step ahead. And she was SO responsive- text, phone call, email, she always replied quickly. My husband and I say that there is no way we could have done this without her. She alleviated so much stress and truly allowed us to enjoy the planning process and more importantly, have a stress-free MAGICAL wedding day. Stephanie's professionalism, creativity, and passion is unmatched. We're eternally grateful and can honestly say she is the best decision we made! A thousand thank you's wouldn't be enough. LET HER MAKE YOUR WEDDING DREAMS COME TRUE!

chedule was crazy) and she made everything so easy for us. She brought our vision to life better than we ever could have envisioned and made sure that everyone had a fabulous time. I cannot thank her enough!!

praises to her enough. By the month before my wedding I was exhausted, stressed, and just tired of planning. I was panicked I would forget a small detail (who knew charger plates weren’t included??) or that I would make an error on timing for transportation, etc, the list could truly go on. Stephanie not only calmed every possible nerve, but she made our wedding day completely stress free. She came early and helped set up the reception room, and when we walked in it was beyond all expectations. She coordinated every vendor, confirmed every detail, and asked questions I would have never thought of without her. She even returned a rented cake stand for us, taking one major post-wedding to-do off our plate. She was available to me constantly – even before our official 1 month out contract started she was willing to answer completely crazy bride questions, and she made me feel so at ease before I even got to meet her in person. A few weeks before the wedding, she attended a final walk through with me and made sure every single detail was covered. We talked on the phone about general timeline details, and she made a timeline detailing every 10 minutes of the wedding day. Because of this, not only was I more comfortable, but our wedding party and parents all knew what was going on and where they needed to be without me having to lift a finger. She even made a full timeline, and a wedding party specific timeline to help highlight the most important pieces of information. I would not have survived without her. We had the most amazing wedding day, and I can say wholeheartedly that it is because of Stephanie. Full disclosure – writing this brought on tears just thinking about how thankful I am for her! You will not regret working with Stephanie. It was the best wedding decision we made, without a single doubt.

e a fabulous event. I would recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for a fabulous a planner.

the planning process stress free. She has this soothing calmness about her but with that is this type A efficiency, organization, get it together attitude that will make your wedding epic and is the perfect balance. She is amazing amazing amazing you will not regret it EVER if you hire her. Our guests and vendors were talking about how awesome she was. Famous quote from my cousins who were assigned as ushers: "When I leaned back on the door she said pleasantly 'why don't you stand and cross your hands in front of you. See? doesn't that look more friendly?'"

erstood our vision for the wedding, but made it so much better!! Stephanie's creativity, talent, passion, ideas, energy, and overall vibes are everything you want in a planner. She made our day even better than we could've imagined. With Stephanie, we never had to worry about a single thing and when the wedding day arrived, we all were able to really enjoy the day knowing that she would take care of every last detail. If you get to work with Stephanie and her team, you're one of the lucky ones!

but January hit and I realized I needed help desperately. I scoured planners tirelessly to find someone who had the right style and cost, Stephanie was the perfect fit. Her work is sooo versatile, she can do classy, boho, vintage, rustic, elegant, you name it. And the cost was unbelievably reasonable for the quality of work she does. She stepped in four months out from my wedding and took on everything like Superwoman- contracts, communication with vendors, reaching out to the ones I still needed. She was SO responsive and organized, always on top of things. I was struggling with transportation and she knocked it out easily for me in one day. She handled so much, it was a huge weight of my shoulders the final weeks before the big day. She picked the perfect furniture rentals for my boho style, laidback wedding and worked with all of the vendors I had already hired to complete my vision. She had some amazing ideas along the way that I never would have thought of myself and I'm so grateful for her creativity! She's also more than willing to take on the challenges that come with planning, like frustrating last minute changes from the venue staff. Best attitude ever, always positive and optimistic, gets you even more excited for the wedding, which I didn't think was possible. The day of, she was again so wonderful, going above and beyond her duties, running gifts back and forth between the bridesmaids and groomsmen in pouring rain. The day after the wedding, she hand delivered my bouquet to the flower preservation company, saving my mom a long trip. She is so wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend hiring Stephanie. She is truly a lifesaver and your wedding will be 100 times more magical for it.

for my daughter but whenever I had a question or concern she immediately responded and if she couldn't answer immediately she let me know and got back to me before I could even blink. She is reliable, dependable, efficient, on time, thorough, caring, kind and sweet as she can be! The day was flawless and she kept to the timeline, which was so helpful! She packed all our stuff up at the end of the night and not one item was missing, she even delivered the bouquet to the home where it was being preserved. She goes above and beyond and no detail was left undone. Of course her main concern is the bride but she truly was there for everyone and made my daughter's day just perfect! We can't thank her enough, she's a treasure!

ith Stephanie it was a breeze! She had the best recommendations for vendors to go with my budget and she always kept us on schedule. Not only is she professional but she is a sweetheart who really had my best interests in mind. You won't regret making her a part of your team!

oblems that showed up during the day. We loved the fact that she carried a sewing kit in her bag of goodies, that helped a lot with the bride's dress when one of the straps came off.

e the same as ours. The credit for all of this goes to Stephanie and SRS Events. We were overwhelmed with having to juggle planning the wedding and work; and we didn’t know any vendors nor venues. The best decision we made was hiring Stephanie since the beginning (around 9 months before the wedding). Since the first meeting we were immediately relieved. She guided us through the whole process with very detailed timelines and budget milestones. The wedding was amazing; my wife and I were able to focus on the important part…enjoying the day and having fun with our guests. We left everything else in Stephanie’s hands and not only was it beautiful; but it was also flawless. All her vendors were so great to work with and very accommodating. Our wedding day will forever remain as such a unique and cherishing day in our memories and in those of our guests; and we owe this to Stephanie. The best decision you can make is hiring her and her team. They do such a great job! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

e created and executed the entire timeline and reception setup perfectly and seamlessly. She really helped keep me at ease throughout the entire day and don’t know what we would have done without her!

l the deliveries for me, coordinated phone calls, and was basically the wedding expert I needed. She's sweet, professional, and very pleasant to work with. I had a number of hiccups I was dealing with, and knowing I had her in my corner made my stress level so much lower. My husband initially scoffed at spending money on a wedding coordinator when I'm a pretty organized person (and do a fair amount of logistical planning for work), but was extremely thankful for everything she and her team did.

't have to lift a finger or worry about anything. She was super responsive and helpful and the day went off without a hitch!

lp us finalize our timeline and take some of the stress of of us. She came to our rehearsal (1 hour) and afterwards took a lot of our decor items so she could drop them off at the venue to following day. She and her assistant were great in helping to make sure our day ran smoothly and that we had nothing to worry about. We were anticipating rain at our September wedding due to a hurricane, Sara kept on top of weather reports and checked it hourly throughout the day. 2 hours before the ceremony she told us we would be able to have our outdoor wedding and we were so excited. She organized having all the chairs and decorations set up in the outdoor space and everything went off without a hitch! At the end of the night she also loaded our cars with all the decor, leftovers, gifts, and flowers so we didn't have to worry about a thing. She even gave us a card afterwards which was very thoughtful. We would definitely recommend SRS Events for your day of needs. We did our planning ourselves so we did not use SRS Event for full wedding planner services but I have no doubt that they would be equally as good for that as they were with us for just the month leading up to our wedding and the day of.

hat is very helpful for staying on track, and is extremely quick to respond to emails! All of our vendors were amazing and she and her team were making sure everything went off perfectly on our big day from the ceremony to reception!! Highly recommend!!! Thank you Stephanie!

hatever I asked about. She made the whole planning process stay on track by regularly letting me know what to focus on. Best of all, the end product was a perfect day and everything was well taken care of.

re for all my questions and to keep us on track. Stephanie always responded to my emails quickly and provided suggestions whenever needed. We ended up going with most of the vendors she had suggested and they were all great! My husband and I would not have been able to plan our dream wedding without SRS Events!!

situation better than we ever did. Stephanie always stayed ahead of the curve and helped us address every task at hand. She even helped us save a substantial amount of money and helped us avoid pitfalls. If you have second thoughts about hiring a wedding planner, let me assure you that it is the best decision to make. There will be things that you won't think of and problems that can and will go wrong. Stephanie will be there to make sure you enjoy your wedding day. I absolutely recommend Stephanie if you're looking for a planner.

ur full time wedding planner! Our day would not have been nearly as stress free or beautiful/fun without her. She not only took care of last minute changes (hello drape change at 6AM on the wedding day) but she juggled 10 different vendor teams and a lot of personalities. Outside of all of the amazing work she did, she is also someone you would want to just hang out and get drinks with! She is so warm and welcoming, and she really makes you feel like your wedding day experience is her number one priority. If you have any doubts just hire SRS, you won't be sorry.

lly showed how important our happiness was throughout the day and really made us feel taken care of. She anticipated our needs before we even knew them. Well prepared and ready to take on any setbacks with a smile on her face. Never thought we personally needed a planner and we only got one due to our venue requiring one, but after seeing Sara work and how helpful she truly was, I have no idea how anyone could have a wedding without a girl like Sara running it. Highly recommend. We are super organized people and she still helped out immensely with preparation, running of event, executing details, and fast breakdown. She was even there for us the day after the wedding when something had been lost. Go with her for sure!

happen!! All of the vendors she found for us from band to florist to photographer to caterer were perfect and truly I had been dreaming and thinking of my wedding since I was about 5 and it 10000% surpassed my expectations!!! Stephanie was so patient and responsive and postive throughout the entire planning process and really always made me feel like she cared just as much as I did about every detail. She went above and beyond thinking of all the things my parents and my (now) husband (yay!) and I never would have thought of to make sure the wedding at my parents' home could feel just as smooth and elegant as if it were at a venue. She truly was amazing and so sweet and kind and so on top of everything and I truly do not think I can ever properly express my gratitude for just how amazing the day was!! I knew that I was able to totally relax and just enjoy the day because Stephanie was there and taking care of everything!! If you are looking for a wedding planner to make your dream wedding happen SRS Events is the Place to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

e like me could have! She was there for every step of the way in over a year of planning, her vendor recommendations and relationships are simply top notch, and her confidently calm presence is so reassuring. My mother was in tears out of sheer thankfulness to her and her team because the day went perfectly, the decor was set up like a dream, and we all truly enjoyed our big day. I could not imagine it would have gone so well without her and I hope every bride is lucky enough to have someone like Stephanie as their wedding planner.
