Stephanie Teague Events

ok her through the proposed wedding space and she had so many fun and unique ideas I had never thought of, and was very intent on helping the day feel very “us” instead of a day copied off of pinterest. She set up meetings with vendors, provided menu ideas and pricing, and helped this indecisive bride-to-be tie everything together. I cannot express enough how supportive and patient Stephanie was with me through the entire process. Although our wedding was cancelled due to COVID, I hope to pick up right where we left off once it is safe to do so.

phanie was able to do for us. She always had options, knew what questions to ask, provided great input and is extremely friendly and professional to boot. If we get the chance to hold our wedding, we are definitely asking Stephanie to finish planning it. 10/10 would recommend.

us weeks prior to the one month mark of our wedding since we had our venue walk through scheduled two months out. We could tell that she's a highly experienced planner/coordinator. Although my wife and I had thought of a lot of the details of what we wanted, Stephanie still asked us questions that made us realize that there were many little things that we hadn't thought of. And through the entire meeting, she assured us that it was still our wedding, and that we could do whatever we wanted....and so we did! It helped us cut out the parts we didn't care for and create a unique and fun wedding that many of our guests hadn't experienced before. Stephanie also has an incredible eye in design. We had a vague idea of what we wanted in terms of the decor layout, I wasn't exactly sure how it would all come together. Somewhere in my gut, I still felt like we hadn't thought it through enough or that maybe our idea wasn't realizable based on what we had purchased for decor (our venue was a beautiful blank slate, and so we pretty much had to decorate many aspects of the ceremony and reception). We handed Stephanie our boxes of decor, and my chicken scratch of blueprint sketches of where we wanted things to generally be with fingers crossed. When I walked into the venue on the day of the wedding, I couldn't believe how incredibly beautiful Stephanie had transformed that room. It was perfect! Our ceremony, sweetheart table, and dessert bars was more than what we could've imagined them to be. If I already had my wedding photos ready (it's been less than a week since the wedding), I'd post them here for all to see. We couldn't thank Stephanie and her assistant for the work they've done. From texting us heartfelt messages of encouragement the morning of our wedding day to going out of the way to ensure my bar was still stocked (since my friends were drowning themselves in bourbon and whiskey), Stephanie is the extra friend and sidekick you need so that you can truly enjoy the party and not worry about anything else. We had ZERO stress. Because of her, we really did feel like it was the best day of our lives. From the bottom of both our hearts, THANK YOU STEPHANIE!

Compounding these difficulties was that we live in Sacramento. Compounding it, even more, were the constraints that the family placed on us particularly for the Lao wedding. As we began the planning stages ourselves we realized….that we were naive and couldn’t plan this on our own. After a few searches, we came across Stephanie Teague Events. The awards that she won and one of her weddings being profiled on TLC suggested to us that she could tackle these two weddings. After we sent an initial email, she said that she felt confident that she could make our vision a reality. She didn’t hesitate or have concerns with the constraints and parameters we were looking for and that she would encounter. We chose her to be our full wedding planner from start to finish. Stephanie made the entire process so much easier than it would have been otherwise. She coordinated venue visits and brainstormed lists of venues when our first round of venues didn’t meet our expectations. Ultimately, we chose two venues that perfectly fit each ceremony—one of which we would have never considered if we did it on our own. Within two months of contracting with Stephanie we already agreed on the bigger parts of the wedding like location, food, desserts, rentals, décor, and flowers. It truly opened up time for us to focus on the smaller things like paperie, programs, RSVPs, etc. She constructed seating charts and floor plans for each wedding and documented an extremely detailed timeline. She was an advocate for us during meetings between us and family, she kept us on track with our budget, gave us her constructive feedback, and was always always always responsive. He even took multiple hours out to meet with family and patiently put up with the demands of both us and the family—offering compromises and raising concerns wherever was needed. On the day of the wedding, she helped put out any issues behind the scenes and made us feel at ease—checking in on us and giving us options to pivot into different events when necessary. She also dedicated 20 hours of work that day, setting up at both venues as well as helping with take down. She made the vision that we had for the last four to five years a reality. She has tons of experience and now can add Lao weddings into her portfolio of experiences ( we highly encourage Laotian folks to reach out to her!) Stephanie is personable, realistic, organized, and sharp. She will be your advocate when speaking to vendors and family. She has an amazing eye for design and plenty of great connections with vendors in the Sacramento/Davis area. So all that said hire her for your next event or your wedding! Thank you to Stephanie and her assistants for making our wedding day wonderful and relatively stress-free!

dors, and executes quickly and flawlessly. My wedding day came out more beautiful than I could have hoped, and she made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing. For days after the event my husband, family, and friends raved about what a relief it was to have Stephanie on our team. I cannot recommend her more highly!

in storms going through.. Since there was no Plan B for cover/roof at the venue, Stephanie worked very long days and nights on the phone with me as late as midnight entire week before, getting all the changes in place, tenting and timeline changes while still managing to keep my daughter calm. Stephanie, as the rain came harder only worked harder to make sure the details of the cake table, guest tables, sweetheart tables, etc., were done exactly to the original vision of the bride and groom. I cant thank her enough for making it all happen!

what needed to get done. Stephanie kept us on track when decisions came up, but largely took the reins and pulled off the perfect evening allowing us to enjoy a stress free planning experience. She provided us with multiple recommendations for everything including catering to photography. Stephanie and her staff were professional from day one. We highly recommend Stephanie for your event.

make you feel like nothing went wrong." From our first meeting she had so much great advice, asked us things we hadn't even thought about, and helped us get our organization to the next level. She was so responsive to every email and text, advised us on vendors, answered many random questions, and when we got to be a few weeks out from the wedding, fully took over coordinating the venue and all the vendors. The biggest gift you can give yourself on your wedding day (especially if you're already spending a good chunk of change) is to take the load of logistics and coordination off your shoulders so you can stay in the moment and enjoy the day. Stephanie took everything over seamlessly, did things I had forgotten to ask her to do, picked up details that I hadn't even had time to explain, and executed everything flawlessly. She took everything off our shoulders so we could be fully present and enjoy the day with family and friends, without worrying about the tiny details. If you're on the fence about whether or not to hire a coordinator, do yourself a favor and HIRE STEPHANIE! She is the best of the best.

edding that the rental company she had planned everything with shut down. With barely anytime left, she had to start all over. Luckily, I found Stephanie and when speaking to her about the different services she offered, we decided to go with "The Month Of" coordination package. She came in and handled everything to do with the vendors. Fast forward to the day of the wedding- as 1 of 4 girls, I've had to be the sister of the bride a few times and this wedding went so smoothly because Stephanie had a handle on everything. Anytime there was an issue I simply went to her and that was it. I was able to enjoy my sister's wedding and more importantly. my sister was such a calm bride who could enjoy her own wedding. Not to mention, we are Pakistani so this meant Stephanie had to learn and tend to many customs and traditions we have in our weddings and she did great! The second experience was for my own wedding. I decided to hire Stephanie with the "Full Coordination Package". I wanted everything to come together very smoothly so my whole family could enjoy the wedding as it was our last family wedding. Stephanie made sure that was the case. She worked with me from beginning to end- driving back and forth from the Sacramento to the Bay Area to find the perfect venue, helping me find vendors I wouldn't have ever known about, finalizing room blocks, finalizing decor details, working with the vendors (we all know just how much of a pain that can be). And once again, she had to understand and follow through unmanly customs and traditions we have as apart of Pakistani weddings. That included her helping out on the the Mendhi night in addition to the wedding reception. She went above and beyond! Everything went so smoothly and was enjoyable for the whole family. I can't say enough great things and can't recommend her enough!

Stephanie and we set up a time to meet. She was kind enough to drive to Sacramento and meet at an odd time in order to work around my job schedule. When we first met, I knew she would be perfect to help plan my wedding. She was very friendly, organized, and passionate about her job. She went over all of the packages that she offered and did not pressure us at all. Once we decided which package we wanted (we went with her Full Coordination package), the real wedding planning began. Stephanie helped us create a detailed budget for the wedding to help keep us on track which was extremely helpful when looking at different vendors. She provided us information on venues, vendors, and even clothing. She was available by phone or text whenever (and I mean WHENEVER) we had any questions or concerns. She attended meetings with us and even helped coordinate a lot of the meetings. She dealt with the stressful phone calls, contracts, and keeping up the timelines. She helped coordinate colors, linens, invitations, programs, menus, etc. She really understood how stressful wedding planning can be and did not judge me based on my wild expectations for my wedding day. She also was very honest with us and we always knew what to expect. I can 100% say that my wedding turned out PERFECT thanks to Stephanie. She made the day go so smoothly. She handled everything with such grace. Everyone, including my bridal party, loved her. We are so grateful to have met Stephanie and would use her in the future for any other big occasion. Thank you Stephanie!

ight to marry the person they love!" To most people, that may not mean much, but to us, that was huge - to hear a wedding vendor so openly embrace our wedding was so emotional and reassuring - and we knew we found the right person to help plan our wedding. From our first meeting via Facetime, Stephanie was very transparent and communicative. Every text message went answered, every request was followed up on. I was shocked when she would always say, "I'll do that for you," then have it done in less than 24 hours. Her level of professionalism is unparalleled. She made the final weeks of our wedding planning process seem smooth and manageable - our only regret is not hiring her sooner than two months before the wedding! During our wedding week, she was calm, organized, and on top of EVERYTHING. She arranged things I didn't even think of, packaged items I swore I'd forget, and followed up on the littlest details that I honestly didn't even remember because she was allowing us to enjoy our day. Her timeline was on point, her details were beautiful, and she was an absolute joy to celebrate our wedding with. Our wedding day was perfect because of Stephanie. We're so grateful to Stephanie Teague Events for helping make our day so magical. I cannot recommend her enough.

es on EVERYTHING! She was such a good listener and had great ideas and insight as well. The day of, oh my gosh, I don't know what I would have done without her (and her amazing crew). She took care of more than she even had to to make sure I was happy with every detail! Thank you times a million for everything you did and how on top of all of it you were! I will recommend her for ANYONE-your wedding wouldn't be the same without Stephanie!

s. While there were other venders that seemed decent, we learned that these many wedding planners don’t guarantee that they will be the actual wedding planner on the day of your wedding. For example, at the time that you book with them, that person may be available for your special date, but if a larger wedding that requires their attention gets booked after the fact, they will prioritize that wedding and assign you one of their employees/assistants. While they may assure that their staff members were just as good, we wanted to know exactly who we would be working with along the way as well as on the big day. An example that one wedding planner provided was that while she may be available on the day we book with her, if later on, she receives a request to be booked for a larger wedding at a nice venue that may be featured in a magazine, she is going to be attending that wedding instead and will assign us to one of her employees. When we booked Stephanie, we knew that there would be no surprises like this along the way. After meeting with Stephanie, we knew she was the perfect fit. Not only did the services she offers meet exactly what we were looking for, but she came off as a genuine and honest person. After working with her, we know this to be true. We had our wedding at Park Winters, a country estate in Winters, California. Stephanie had done several weddings here before, so she was very familiar with the venue and had great rapport with the Park Winters staff members. When we had meetings with the venue, Stephanie already had a lot of great ideas and suggestions. When we would express to her what we wanted out of the day and the venue, because of her familiarity and experience, she knew exactly how to make it happen. It is nice knowing that your wedding planner and the venue staff have an established relationship and work so well together, though I have no doubt that if this was Stephanie’s first time at the venue, it also would have been just fine. On the day of the wedding, Stephanie was punctual, dressed very professionally, and was on top of everything! If any SNAFUs occurred throughout our special day, we have no knowledge of it because Stephanie handled it. She has great organizational and management skills. Stephanie was the perfect vendor for us! We have two different friends who will be getting married within the next two years and have already recommended that they consider booking Stephanie Teague as their wedding planner. While we booked Stephanie for the “month-of” services, she also offers “partial coordination” as well as “full coordination” services. The “month-of” was the perfect fit for us, but there are different options that should be able to fit your specific needs. Thank you for helping our special day so magical! N&P

s good at managing issues as they came up so that we didn't have to. I highly recommend her for day of coordinator services. It made for a stress-free wedding day!

nd she helped me through every single phase of wedding planning. She is the epitome of organized, professional, badass, and friendly. She will make sure that you throw the wedding of your dreams- and stay in budget! Through every stage, Stephanie helped with budget planning and tracking, made sure payments were made on time, and even handled tedious correspondence with dozens of vendors so that way my life was so much easier. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie and her team managed every single detail. We were completely relaxed and could enjoy our day. It was amazing to not have to rush or wonder about anything the day of the wedding- I knew Stephanie had everything handled. I will try to stay short and sweet so that way more people read this review. My husband I are so grateful to Stephanie and her team!

s clear she wanted to help make our vision possible, but she also was going to give it to us straight. She asked probing questions. Other planners we talked with clearly had a prescribed list of questions we had to answer or focused on all of the wrong areas during the consultation. Stephanie brought a personal touch. Stephanie was definitely worth her weight in gold when she set up a speed dating day of potential wedding suppliers. At the end of it all, we love every supplier we selected. I want to party with my DJ. I want to eat and talk food with my caterer. I want to just hang out with my photographer. Having great suppliers makes a great wedding and Stephanie knows great suppliers. (I never once felt pressure or was worried about kickbacks. She gave her honest critical opinion about each). Our wedding venue was a privately owned 1920s house up in Tahoe. Beautiful, yes. A challenge, definitely. We were able to schedule a site visit with Stephanie to walk through our vision. It really helped. They saw that our vision was crazy and helped guide us toward how to execute it. I am so thankful she took the time to visit the site. I felt much more at ease the day of the wedding. Stephanie also excels at “day of” execution. In addition to the challenges that came with our venue (ie- literally everything had to be brought in from external vendors and pass muster with the HOA), it involved multiple locations and lots of intricate details. At the end of the night, she made sure everything got cleaned up and trucked out, and even spent a little time tidying the staging cabin. All-in-all, we can’t say enough good things about Stephanie. She truly made our [challenging] dream wedding a reality.

ting the day-of schedule, finalizing the transportation details, deciding on decorations and layout, she was instrumental. She met with my mom and I one month before our wedding and asked such great questions and provided thoughtful insight on how to get our big day across the finish line. She promptly followed up with a schedule and made our transportation for our bridal party, family and guests (my biggest stresser) go off without a hitch! She was so calm, polite and focused on the big day. Her and her team made sure all the details were covered and that the day went off perfectly on schedule. If you are toying with the idea of having a coordinator - DO IT. Stephanie was a true professional and I cannot thank her enough for making my wedding day better than I could have imagined.

we had agreed that her assistant could run the show while she went out to work on another wedding for a few hours- with the assurances that her assistant was great. While the assistant was a nice person, she did not have any handle on the day. The bridal party had zero guidance on where to go (eg from pictures to waiting room to aisle), she relied on the groom to deal with the fact that our band didn’t show up, she didn’t line up the wedding party (which led to people walking out of order), and just generally didn’t seem prepared to handle the day. Some of the seating assignments that they were supposed to set up based on my seating chart were messed up and they didn’t guide people to the correct place for cocktail hour, causing many people to miss the passed apps. The biggest value add was their clean up at the end of the night - although I’m sure that was partly the venue and something I didn’t need to pay a few thousand dollars for. Overall, we were disappointed (and everyone in our wedding party who experienced the hiccups said we should ask for a refund)

and then guided us to choices and options that were perfect for us. She thought of all of the things that would not have occurred to us (like corsages for our moms). She also has a voluminous collection of vendors that she has worked with that she can recommend from her first-hand experience, knowing that they will do a great job. We discovered we could completely rely on Stephanie's judgment in helping us decide what details were really important, and what extras were dispensable. On the actual wedding day itself, Stephanie was phenomenal, handling every issue behind the scenes so we could really be present with our guests. If you are looking for a talented, hardworking coordinator who puts everything into her work, I highly recommend Stephanie Teague!

met with them (working around their schedules) called, emailed and texted to find out what was important to them; contacted vendors, worked out problems; juggled numerous food vendors; coordinated timelines with the photographer, videographer, large wedding party and guests.... That was just the tip of the iceberg. Bottom line.. The bride and groom were able to celebrate with family and friends...knowing every detail was in expert hands. Finally, I was able to enjoy the day, too. Thank you Stephanie.

e elements of our wedding that mattered to us the most in order to make sure that they went off without a hitch and sure enough, they did. I would hire stephanie a million times over! Our wedding day would not have been what it was (perfect) without her.

Stephanie on the Knot. Stephanie was worth every penny. Her years of experience shines in her work and through her organization. After meeting with Stephanie we immediately knew she was the perfect person to coordinate our wedding because of her passion for Weddings and care for helping her clients. Stephanie is approachable. I never felt uncomfortable asking her questions via email or text. She always responded within the hour, most times immediately. On the day of, Stephanie and her team executed the set up of the wedding with excellence. We were hit with a heat wave, 106°, and Stephanie and her team efficiently worked through the heat without complaints and all with smiles. They made it look so effortless. The week prior, Stephanie quickly secured a last minute request for additional umbrellas to help shade our guest. She created a detailed schedule for the day of the wedding for our wedding party and our vendors. Our venue was new and had never hosted a full wedding and having Stephanie’s expertise was key to our wedding being successful. Even though we had a few stressful moments of worrying, at the end of the day, we were relieved with the peace of mind that Stephanie was a pro and she would have the solution to any problems. One thing I really appreciated was a personal heartfelt message she sent to me on the morning of our wedding. It comforted me and got me in the right mindset for the rest of the day! (thanks you, Stephanie.) Our wedding was perfect! Everything was pulled together by Stephanie, her team and our vendors so beautifully. It exceeded all my expectations. I absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone.

to my vision (having guests seated in a circle, a non-traditional interactive ceremony) she was open-minded and excited. She gave firm guidance when needed, and helped me manage a huge anxiety-provoking situation -- an outbreak of norovirus at the site -- that came up the day before we were to arrive. The day of, I completely trusted her to manage the many moving parts which she did, flawlessly. The day was a beautiful blur, and I did not see much of her, but it was truly perfect, totally stress-free and so much fun. Thank you Stephanie!

eas for the ceremony and was extremely responsive when I had questions. I enjoyed working with her and all of the vendors she recommended. The vendors were prompt, on-time and extremely courteous. The food was amazing, the flowers were gorgeous and the rentals were beautiful.
