Sydney helped us coordinate a very logistics heavy wedding at The Little Daisy in Jerome Az. We had our ceremony outdoors with the cocktail hour indoors on the first floor and then...
had to move all chairs for the ceremony to the third floor and coordinate all the vendors including violinist, bar tender, and caterer to carry everything to the third floor for the remainder of the evening while always working through complex offsite parking logistics that complied with local fire regulations. In addition, we had to deal with severe wind that caused us to pivot plans at the last minute. Sydney was fantastic at handling all of these components always providing clear communication and helping make our special day truly amazing. If you’re looking for a kind, professional, and detail oriented coordinator or planner for your event we highly recommend Sydney! She will be sure to take the extra time to make your event everything you have pictured and help guide you through the complex event planning process.

Sydney handled every detail with grace, from organizing vendors to making last-minute changes on my behalf without me needing to stress. I completely trusted her throughout the process, both logistically and creatively. We were fully aligned in vision, and she executed the wedding beautifully 💗 beyond what I could have imagined.

Sydney did a fantastic job at my daughter's wedding 10/11/25. Being in the wedding industry it was hard for me to turn over the reigns that day! But I wanted to be present and just...
enjoy the day..which I did.
Sydney was very available during the wedding planning process. Especially the last week when it was predicted for 90 % rain for an outdoor site wedding. We all had a plan A. B, and C for weather. We were able to have ceremony outside with dinner and dance inside. There were some bumps with no fault to Sydney. She kept us informed and I felt comfortable how it was handled.
Sydney also has rental items which were very convenient seeing thus was a destination wedding.
Highly recommend her to help with your next celebration.

m, calm demeanor, and attention to detail truly made our day feel effortless — and I know it was all thanks to her hard work behind the scenes.
Sydney was beyond communicative and always one step ahead. She kept everything running smoothly, from vendor arrivals to timeline shifts, and handled any unexpected hiccups with total grace and confidence. I genuinely don’t know how the day would have gone without her — and honestly, I wouldn’t want to know!
Not only did she win us over, but every single one of our vendors absolutely loved working with her. That speaks volumes. Her positive energy, strong work ethic, and ability to manage moving parts made our day feel magical and seamless.
If you're looking for someone to bring calm to the chaos and ensure your wedding day goes off without a hitch, Sydney is your person. I would recommend her a thousand times over — she’s a total superstar and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our day unforgettable.

My day was just that - warm, inviting, and perfectly coordinated. Sydney is very organized, she thinks of every detail. I also rented hurricane candle vases from her, which I thought were priced fairly and looked beautiful for our candle lit reception dinner. The day ran so smoothly, and I just can't thank her enough! Overall, Sydney is very professional, so easy to work with, great at communicating - made my wedding a dream 🤍

. She knows so much about weddings, vendors, florals, etc... She hand made her farm tables that she rents out as well as the alter we used. Needless to say she really is a wedding one stop shop. We rented tons of furniture from her, she did our florals, she connected us with a DJ in our budget, she came days before to our venue to begin decorating. She called us every couple of weeks to make sure we were completing the things we had to do on our end. Needless to say we we are over the moon with her services and would recommend 100%!

reply and always on point, it feels like we are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about making our day perfect.
What we really appreciate is her ability to think of things we haven’t even thought about. She knows exactly the questions to ask. From the big picture down to the tiny details, she has it all covered.
When it comes to handling tasks, she is fantastic. No task too big or too small, and she makes sure we are on top of all our options and costs. No surprises, no stress – just smooth sailing.
We can't recommend working with her enough. If you want a wedding planner who's not only professional but also someone you know cares and wants to make your day exactly as you imagined, she's the one. Our day is going to be incredible thanks to her expertise and genuine care.
