Three Little Words | Wedding Planning

Sam was fantastic. We wanted to plan our own wedding, and Sam made our vision a reality. She coordinated all the vendors, got all of our DIY items to the venue (and back to our house), and provided invaluable wisdom and insight on day-of logistics. In addition, she has a kind and down-to-earth presence—exactly the kind of person you want by your side on the big day! The peace of mind is worth everything her service costs and more. Thank you, Three Little Words!!

We worked with Sam and Three Little Words for over a year of preparation for our wedding while we were in DC and Sam was in New Orleans, and Sam executed a year’s worth of planning and ideas perfectly! In the month and weeks leading up to the wedding, Sam kicked everything into high gear and absolutely crushed it. She learned our communication styles, she solved problems swiftly and tactfully, and she kept us on track even when we got overwhelmed with decisions. When we think back to the wedding, it felt like everything was flowing perfectly, like in a movie! The energy of some weddings ebb and flow, but Sam curated a high energy and constantly fun celebration for us, which was exactly what we wanted. She perfectly executed ideas of ours that were complicated, and she never told us that an idea or concept was too much or impossible. The most resounding feedback that we have heard about the wedding weekend was that it was magical, and it’s really the only way we can describe it. Sam perfectly weaved the magic of New Orleans, our amazing guests, and our different cultures, and created something spectacular. We are so grateful for her, and for Caroline, Sam/TLW's assistant (who was an MVP in so many ways). Thank you Sam!

Sam is a miracle worker! Our wedding took place across four different venues (if you're counting the hotel) in one day during Mardi Gras. Not only did we make it to the wedding, but Sam came up with a remarkable plan to make sure every single guest made it too! She's a joy to work with and I honestly can't say enough about the magic she made that day. Our day was perfect!

We can't say enough good things about Sam and her team. Having a destination wedding can be stressful enough, but Sam was always there to guide us and make the process as smooth as possible. Save yourselves the time/stress and hire Sam and her team! You will not regret it!

I can not say enough about the amazing experience we had with Three Little Words! I knew immediately after our initial conversation that we had made the right choice. Sam is talented, attentive, professional, highly organized, and creative! She knows her city and procured an amazing group of vendors at R +R- caterer, string quartet, brass band, DJ, florist, furniture/decor, tarot card reader, photographers, hair/makeup, second line, and a Cafe du Monde truck without a single hitch! I can honestly say I was not stressed AT ALL on my wedding day. All of my guests have raved about my wedding and said it was the most beautiful, polished wedding they have been to, adding not a detail was missed! Sam listens to your style and needs and makes your dreams come true. I was such a magical day for us along with all our friends and family. Make the investment and have a wedding planner as a priority! We could not have done it so effortlessly without Three Little Words as we are not from nor do we live in New Orleans.

We had an A+ experience with Sam as our "month of" planner. We were planning our NOLA wedding from afar, which added some complexities. From the start, Sam was super responsive to all of my questions and always helped me problem solve. Leading up the wedding, we held several planning calls to go over all of the details and do handover. Sam was really on the ball with all of the little details and needs and seamlessly worked with the vendors to resolve any issues. On the day of she made sure everything went off without a hitch. I had major anxiety that it would rain, but Sam reassured me every 5 minutes with her radar app. Sam wasn't feeling well but she masked up and toughed it out for us, and was able to employ a back up assistant at the last minute, who was also excellent. When our floral display fell over due to wind prior to our ceremony, I would have been none the wiser because Sam sprang into action and fixed the display with zipties. I really can't recommend Sam and her team enough. We were so happy with how everything went. You won't be disappointed.

My wife and just got married over the weekend and were fortunate enough to have found Sam to be our month of planner. She was so on top of everything! Whenever we had questions she was there to answer them, she was so organized and thoughtful and thought of everything. If there ever moments during our big day when we were asking ourselves a question about "what's next" Sam was there, 2 steps ahead of us with the answer. Such a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend her services! Austin and Sarah

Sam was truly AMAZING! We planned our Feb 2022 destination wedding in New Orleans in 4 months, during COVID, and she was just incredible from start to finish. She had impeccable vendor recommendations, was extremely familiar with our ceremony and reception venues (which helped SO much since we didn't set foot in either until the day of our wedding!), and most of all, she made us feel so at ease the entire time. Sam is calm, cool and collected, which helped me stay calm on my wedding day - if anything did go wrong, I had no idea! I cannot recommend her enough - she was incredible and made our special day as amazing as we had hoped it would be!

Sam and her team saved the day, literally, after another vendor fell out the day of the wedding. She was organized and calm and professional the entire day. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Would highly recommend!

Samantha is the best thing I could have given myself on my wedding day. She is a GIFT! I had very odd, specific needs because I don't like wedding-y weddings and I really hate being the center of attention. I didn't want to relax! That sounded very NOT relaxing, and I think when I explained this to her she was suspicious but the woman came with the absolute best "roll with it" attitude and was so kind, so helpful, NOT your mother's wedding planner. In fact, mine had specifically advised me against it since her wedding planner 35 years ago was such a nightmare! But Samantha is it. You can't be a conductor on your day. Your MOH cannot. Your mom cannot. You need another set of hands, trust me - and you're in excellent hands with her.

We hired Sam for month of planning and it was absolutely money well spent. She was awesome getting all of the little details worked out, things I certainly wouldn't have considered! On the day of, she kept everything together and running smoothly!

Samantha was a very calming presence at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding! She ensured that all the major events went off without a hitch. Closer to the date of the wedding it did seem that she was a stretched a bit thin. I had to prompt Sam for the detailed itinerary the day before the wedding. The wedding item pick-up was also a bit disorganized & we had to reach out to Sam multiple times to figure out how to get our stuff the day after the wedding. Finally, I did note that I wanted to keep my bouquet in the final planning document and unfortunately it was not grabbed from the wedding venue. Overall Sam was easy to work with & I am happy with my decision to contract her services, would just hope she is able to address some of the issues above for her future weddings.

We used Three Little Words for month of coordination of our destination wedding. Sam and her team were so helpful in giving us recommendations on all of our wedding needs. They were very honest and transparent. It was so helpful having Sam and her team on the day of our wedding so that we didn't have to think or coordinate anything. We would highly recommend Three Little Words to any couple looking for a wedding planner to assist with coordination and support!

We elected to have a destination micro-wedding in NOLA and could not have pulled it off without the help of Sam and team. After making contact and having a quick conversation to talk about ideas and goals for our day, Sam helped to shepherd us through all the decision making, kept us on schedule, and on budget. All of the vendors she recommended were perfection, and the day-of coordination was superb (shared online spreadsheets for the win!). Very few people can say that their wedding went off without a single hitch, and thanks to Three Little Words, I can say that I'm one of them. If you're getting married in New Orleans, I cannot recommend TLW and Sam enough!

We hired Sam as a month-of coordinator for our wedding and you should too. Leading up to the wedding she was incredibly helpful in providing us with direction and recommendations on everything and anything we asked her about. Then, when she took over during the lead up to the wedding we had full confidence and trust that she would ensure everything was as we had envisioned and discussed. I cannot recommend her enough.

Sam is awesome, organized and gets sh*t done! We had a destination wedding and it helped so much to have her insight and expertise. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone more smoothly and we couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend Three Little Words!

We started planning our wedding RIGHT before the pandemic and had actually already booked a venue and sent out invitations by the time things began to lock down. Luckily, we had also already booked Sam, as she was a godsend to us as we reworked the wedding multiple times. From moving the date entirely, to downsizing from 150 to 25 guests, Sam helped us every step of the way. We had booked our venue, the Marigny Opera House, specifically for its interior charm, and we ended up having to host the event outdoors. Sam also helped us to make that just as dreamy as we were hoping the indoor celebration would be. Sam has excellent relationships with local vendors and is a great resource for all things wedding related that you might need guidance on! Most importantly, though, she will make your big day go so smoothly! In the end, despite all the changes, the wedding we had was absolutely perfect and we continue to say it was the wedding we always wanted but just didn't know it! We are so thankful to Sam for helping us achieve that!

Every step of the process, Sam was very professional, thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable. I wanted to be pretty hands on in terms of design and planning, so we went with month-of-coordination which was perfect for us. Sam offered trusted advice on vendors and contracts and was a savior when it came to logistics like the timeline, flip, floor plan, and rehearsal. I also loved that Sam rents items like easels and card boxes which saved us time and money. Our wedding day went so smoothly and was an absolute dream thanks to Sam and her assistant! We highly recommend Three Little Words!

Sam is an absolute rockstar. If you are at all debating on hiring Sam, stop reading this and hire her right now. My wedding planning process was a comedy of errors, I cannot even list all of the issues we had — we postponed twice due to COVID, had multiple vendors back out due to COVID rescheduling issues, and we parted ways with a different planner just 4 months prior to our wedding. Because of our initial planner hiccups, various vendors we thought we booked backed out or disappeared as soon as 3 weeks before the wedding. Despite the chaos, Sam fixed it ALL, and she did so while caring for her newborn baby that she had just a week after we hired her! Did I mention Hurricane Ida also hit New Orleans just a few weeks before our wedding? Sam somehow managed to coordinate our wedding while evacuating from NOLA. She cannot be stopped! Sam is a doer - if you want someone you can trust to get things done without you constantly hovering or checking in, Sam is your person. Sam essentially replanned our entire wedding in just under 4 months and somehow kept me calm throughout the entire process. If Sam had bad news to break to me, she always came with potential solutions in hand. Despite the time crunch, our wedding day was beyond perfect - I am still in awe of the experience Sam created for us. We still have wedding guests tell us how unique, gorgeous and “us” our wedding day felt. Sam essentially planned a wedding in 4 months that felt like it was years in the making. She is an exceptional wedding planner and we cannot recommend her enough.

Three Little Words was the very best money we spent on our wedding! We started our journey with Sam in December of 2019 and she saw us through planning long distance (we selected our venue sight unseen), 2 covid postponements, vendor changes, and ultimately a venue change less than 30 days from our wedding due to Hurricane Ida damage. Sam navigated us gracefully through all these changes and helped give us the wedding of our dreams! When the wedding day finally came around in October of 2021, it was perfect, and her hard work was visible in every detail of the day. The vendors she helped us select were incredible and the day flowed seamlessly. Sam's warm personality, and professionalism relieved so much stress throughout the wedding day and entire wedding planning process. We could not have done it without her.

Sam is the BEST!!! Look no further!! My daughter was married on Sept 25, 2021 after rescheduling from April 18, 2020 due to the pandemic. We had many hiccups along the way with the most frustrating one being that we had to part ways with our original wedding planner of two years in late April 2021 (5 months before the Sept. wedding date). We found Sam on the Knot website in May 2021 and did not look back. Many of our original vendors had not received the new date, some moved from the city and a few even wanted to change the original contracts. Sam basically replanned the entire wedding in 4 months finding us multiple new vendors including a great caterer. She is AMAZING!!! Sam had a baby, evacuated from Hurricane Ida and still did not miss a beat. She kept us informed and most importantly she kept my daughter calm. The wedding was PERFECT!! Three weeks later friends are still telling me this was the very best wedding they have ever attended. I am even going to credit Sam for the perfect 75 degrees, no humidity NOLA weather. If I could give her more stars I would.

Sam was amazing. Not only was she sweet and organized but she also helped us organize an extremely unconventional but true to New Orleans wedding. She found the most amazing vendors—including our DJ who was the biggest hit at the wedding and was honestly nearly unobtainable (he travels constantly and has done the met gala, oscar after parties, parties at the burg dubai, et ceter) and convinced him that our wedding was the perfect fun job to do on the side. In addition, she found the best photographer I’ve ever met and wrangled in a design team that turned the crazy vision in my bead into the most beautiful, joyful, and incredible day of my life. Nearly every one of our guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and it would never have been possible with three little words.

Jay A. · married on 06/12/2021 Three Little Words Should be the First Vendor Your Hire It's been a long time coming for me to write this review. My fiance and I hired Sam and her team back in 2019! From my first conversation with Sam, I knew that she got my vision. We worked with Sam through two postponements, several vendor changes, a baby (hers!), and a two year engagement. Through it all, Sam and her team offered a steady hand, excellent recommendations, and top-notch customer service. When Sam told us that she was going to miss our wedding due to the birth of her baby, she assigned Courtney to take over. The transition was seamless and effortless. One of my favorite memories from my wedding day is eating lunch with my mom, sister, and Courtney. Everything was so peaceful and calm. My mom and Courtney handled everything so I felt completely stress-free that day. Courtney has the perfect personality for wedding planning: kind but firm with people trying to interfere with your day, responsive, flexible, anticipates problems, proactive, and so kind. When I decided at the last minute to change the second line, she wasn't even rattled. She made it work and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I am kind of sad I won't get to talk to these gals as often, but I know that the next time I'm in New Orleans, a friend is not too far away. Do yourself a favor and hire Three Little Words before you do anything else.

We hired Sam for month-of-coordination and my only regret was not hiring her for full-service planning! Sam was available and helpful during the whole planning process and always responded to my frantic emails in a calm and practical manner that instantly helped ease whatever concerns I had. We ended up having to postpone our March 2020 wedding, and despite being one of her first couples to do this, she handled the situation with grace and compassion, including contacting all of our vendors so that we wouldn’t have to (a daunting task for us at the time while trying to process postponing our wedding 2 weeks out). She stuck with us through our postponement and continued to be a valuable resource for me as I struggled through adapting our expectations and downsizing our wedding. After 2 long years of wedding planning, I went into the day feeling relaxed and confident that she would handle whatever was going to happen, and my confidence was well placed. When our day finally came, she was fantastic – she was like a little ghost, zipping around making sure that things I didn’t even know needed to be done were getting done. She even tidied up our hotel room so that my husband and I had a relaxing place to return to at the end of the night. It was such a relief, and I am truly so so grateful to have had her there and throughout my planning experience. I would absolutely recommend working with Three Little Words!

Sam was fantastic to work with from the very beginning! I interviewed quite a few planners and ultimately went with Three Little Words because of how warm, punctual and informative Sam was, and I am very glad I did! We had to completely change our wedding due to COVID and I was nervous to reach out to our vendors because of horror stories I heard from friends changing their plans. Sam was the first person I called and she was just as pleasant with that call as she was with the first call. She was so understanding and willing to work with us to make our new day just as special as our original day would have been. Our small backyard wedding went off without a hitch! I would highly recommend Three Little Words, especially after working with them during such uncertain times and having their full support the entire time!

We had quite a few curveballs thrown at us on our day, pandemics, hurricanes, power outages, downed trees, the list goes on. Sam handled every last minute change with grace and calm: managing vendors, decorating the venue, even DJ'ing when the band didn't show up. In anyone else's hands I would've been going into control freak mode, but I knew Sam would make it happen. Our whole experience with TLW was smooth, professional, and responsive from initial conversations, the website and billing interface, to final handoff. I couldn't recommend TLW more.

Working with Sam for the short amount of time that we did was a very satisfactory experience. My fiance and I were planning a destination wedding in New Orleans and Sam was one of the first planners we spoke with. We knew she would be a great fit for us due to her organization skills that planning a wedding requires (especially when the couple lives out of state!). Although we had only signed up for her Month-Of planning package, she was always available to answer my emails/questions or take a look at a vendor agreement. When Covid-19 hit, she helped us wade those uncertain waters and gave us more peace-of-mind than we would have had without her. Unfortunately, I eventually made the tough decision to cancel our NOLA wedding due to the circumstances. I was bummed that I wasn't able to continue working with Sam to see our wedding materialize but I know that if we had had that opportunity, it would have been exceptional thanks to her. At the end of the day, we highly recommend working with Sam and encourage you to check out the rentals she offers which takes a lot more stress out of the planning process.

Sam was excellent. I utilizes her services for a few very specific tasks to make sure my ceremony went off seamlessly and that the reception kicked off on time. She went above and beyond--even delivered decor and other items back to my hotel room.

Most important thing I would say about Sam, is that on the day I didn't worry. I could tell it was all under control and any time I started to feel anxiety, Sam was there and would tell me exactly what is going on. Being from Los Angeles, using New Orleans as our wedding spot was tricky and what I really needed was a day of coordinator, with a little extra help like vendors etc. Great fast communication, easy and to the point. Plus the price was right, and she offered a semi-planning package which is exactly what I needed. Also love the interface of the website, everything in one place. Very happy, no complaints.

We hired Sam/Three Little Words for day-of coordination for our December 2019 wedding in New Orleans. I was born and raise in south Louisiana and I lived in Nola for three years, Today (and for the past several years), we live in Denver, Colorado. We were engaged for almost 2 years and as a result of our familiarity with the city we'd done a lot of the major planning pieces, but wanted someone handling day-of logistics so neither my mother or myself was worrying about anything! Sam was fantastic. From answering/attending to the multiple questions and requests we had over the months leading to the wedding, to the planning/coordinating phone calls we had in the fall, to the weekend of - I know we would not have been as relaxed without her services. It was because of Three Little Words that we were able to just be in the moment and enjoy the weekend. We highly recommend Three Little Words to anyone who is planning a New Orleans wedding in their home town or from out of town for any level of service.

Sam is a one stop shop! We hired her to help with just day of coordination and decor set up. She did a beautiful job and we loved everything when we got to the venue. Thank you for making our day stress free and easy.

Our team has worked with Sam on many weddings and she is always such a pleasure to work with and amazing at what she does! Her attention to detail is top notch and her communication really stands her a part from many others. We strongly recommend Three Little Words to help make the wedding of your dreams become a reality!

We hired Sam to do full service planning and were deeply disappointed by her unprofessionalism, lack of attention to detail, and poor communication skills. We fired her because of these and multiple other issues and she refused to give us any money back. Below are examples of how we felt Sam failed to fulfill her planner duties: Communication: Often took several days, sometimes weeks, to respond to emails or didn't respond at all. Continuously forgot action items, messed up details and let things fall through the cracks. Her lack of communication forced us to micromanage the details and Sam herself. Vendor Selection & Management: Sam didn't always listen to what we wanted and we had to find some vendors ourselves. We felt like she was often only giving us vendors from her rolodex, instead of really listening to our criteria. We told Sam we were unhappy and outlined our expectations of her, including pressing vendors on our behalf. A few days after we had just outlined our expectations, she wasn't able to get our restaurant vendor to do a tasting on the day we wanted. However, after speaking with the vendor myself, they easily accommodated us. We felt Sam misled us, on multiple occasions, to cover up her mistakes and misrepresented vendor information because she couldn't keep details straight, like the pricing for cocktail hour vs the reception. Planning & scheduling: Sam was in charge of organizing our Nola visit schedule to meet all of our vendors (florist, photographer, venue, etc) 6 months before our wedding. We took a week of vacation days and spent a lot of money to fly from SF to Nola for this trip. She assured us she was securing appointments, however, a few days before the trip we learned that Sam had messed up the entire visit, booked things for wrong day, and in some cases never booked any appointments at all. When confronted by us, she blamed our vendors and didn't take any responsibility. However, after speaking with all of our vendors directly, many told us that Sam had not confirmed appointments with them. Additionally, our vendors found Sam confusing and difficult to work with. Her communication style is very unclear, leading to unnecessary confusion and frustration. We had several vendors reach out to us directly to ask what we wanted, because they were so confused by Sam's requests. We had signed up for Sam's full service planning package, but after everything, we felt she did less than the bare minimum, and she was terrible to work with. She seemed to blame everyone else for her mistakes, including us as her clients, and our vendors, without taking any responsibility herself. When we asked for a refund, she didn't answer for 5 days, responding only after we had emailed her a second time, and she refused to give us any money back. Bride to bride - do not book Sam as your planner. She caused an immense amount of stress and almost ruined our wedding. Give your money to someone who respects you as a bride and a person, and will cause happy tears instead of hopeless ones.

My partner and I worked with Sam to plan a New Orleans wedding while living in New York. By the end I wished I was marrying Sam! (Just kidding, but kind of?!) We had the most special, fun, magical wedding night and I shudder to imagine what it would have been like without Sam. Hire her, you won't regret it. I adore Sam's matter-of-fact approach to the craziness of wedding planning, her attention to detail, and her willingness to listen to what was important to us. She provided invaluable recommendations for venues, florists, vendors, photographers, and DJs we never would have been able to find without her. She worked hard to understand our aesthetic and taste and turn the visions in our imagination into reality. Sam transformed an empty courtyard into a gorgeous party setting and scheduled the entire evening in 15 minute increments so nothing was left to chance. She thought of things we didn't (cake stand! tissues!) and was able to provide expert advice on matters where we felt lost or uncertain. Sam was incredible to work with for the months leading up to the wedding but she truly saved the day when a building collapsed down the street from our venue and we had to re-plan everything with a week and a half to go. Sam worked tirelessly to ensure that the backup plan was as good as the original vision and kept our stress levels under control. I am in shock thinking of how she planned two wonderful weddings for us. Sam is prompt, communicative, obsessive, creative, and motivated. She helped us craft a celebration that embodied who we are as a couple and I am eternally grateful to her. Thanks to her, I didn't have to think about any logistics during the wedding weekend and was free to get drunk and dance the night away.

I could not recommend Sam more! As others have said, hiring Three Little Words as our wedding planner was one of the best decision we've ever made. My husband and I don't live in New Orleans, so we were looking for a wedding planner who could help us navigate all of the vendor options and wedding planning timeline to make sure our wedding day was beautiful, fun, on-budget, and stress free. And it worked - our wedding was THE BEST, most fun, and least stressful day. Better than I could have ever imagined! From the beginning, Sam was extremely professional, attentive, and communicative. She helped us find the best vendors and she truly doesn't miss a beat (she knows more about Jewish weddings than we did!), but she also has a relaxed and friendly demeanor which we really appreciated. We were equally impressed with Sam's team -- on the night of our wedding, when my bustle broke on the dance floor, Dani from the Three Little Words team was by my side within minutes with white safety pins. Thank you for everything, Sam & Dani!

My husband and I hired Sam for month-of wedding coordination, to plan the flowers and décor for the wedding, and to fully plan and coordinate our welcome party crawfish boil. Sam was incredible throughout the planning process. Our welcome party had so many moving parts since we had a local band which required several different vendors for backline and other sound items and a food vendor we couldn't get responses from ourselves, and Sam was able to pull it off seamlessly. At every step of the way she was there to keep us on track, and when we didn't know what to do about someone to serve drinks for our ceremony and second line, work security for the welcome party, etc. she had contacts she was able to pull in to help out. I was also able to drop off everything I had gathered for décor, etc. the week before the event and it was amazing to not have to worry about setting up, organizing, or clearing things out that night - this was super important to me so that my friends and family could just relax and enjoy themselves, and Sam made it all 100% worry-free. During the events, she also handled everything without bothering us about minor details and we were able to just sit back and truly enjoy our special day. I don't know what we would have done without her!

Sam (Three Little Words) was phenomenal!!! Truly I can't say enough good things about her. For our wedding, we had Sam help us with planning a Friday night welcome party for all of our guests as well as day-of coordinator for the wedding itself with a different venue for the ceremony and reception. She was always very responsive, kept on top of deadlines, and also was able to find us ways to save money! For the Friday night event in particular, it was an absolute mess trying to get responses from some of our vendors and coordinating everything needed for the band. I tried to do this myself before giving up and asking Sam to step in, and I was very glad she did. Since the food vendor we wanted was not responding, she coordinated a great back up plan and after approximately 5 months of trying, was able to finally secure the vendor we wanted. With the band, she was able to secure a better price than I initially was able to get and coordinated the multiple other requirements needed by them to make it an extremely successful evening. For the evening of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. We ended up wanting a few additional things than initially discussed and she was able to round up some last-minute helpers to assist us with everything. The ceremony was perfect, the second line went off without a hitch, and the reception was perfect. My wife and I both agree we're not sure how we could have pulled it all off without Sam! She made the entire weekend so stress-free and we continue to recommend to her to all of our friends getting married!

Hiring Sam was easily the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. My husband and I weren't local to New Orleans , so we wanted someone who knew what she was doing. Sam was so detail-oriented and gave us so much advice without being too pushy. With every surprise or last minute question, Sam knew the answer or could figure out a solution. She easily was the reason I got to sit back and enjoy my wedding day.

Sam was the second wedding planner we spoke with but we didn't need to continue our search one we realised she was a great fit. We live in Houston so we needed someone with local New Orleans experience. Sam used online/cloud services to great effect so that we could keep track of everything and reminded us when payments to vendors were due, etc. She was also great at scheduling our visits so that we could efficiently meet vendors, view venues and do tastings. She always had vendor options for us so that we could choose price points and service we were comfortable with. On the day everything went brilliantly and we could enjoy ourselves without having to worry about anything. She made sure we got some food and also packed up our belongings at the venue so we could party on. We would strongly recommend a planner, and that you make that planner Sam!

My husband and I received year long wedding planning services from Three Little Words for our wedding in September 2019. Both my husband work and go to school full-time so were desperate for help planning our big day. Sam was SO helpful - basically all we had to do was communicate our ideas and budget to Sam and then sit back and be amazed as our dreams became reality on our wedding! Sam handled everything seamlessly, understood our multi-cultural vision, and executed our ideas flawlessly. She really took all of the stress out of planning and I could not recommend her services enough.

We hired Three Little Words for month-of coordination and it was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. Sam was so helpful during the planning process, making herself available for questions I had, recommending vendors and connecting us to a few for us to hire. Once everything was handed off to her and her team, I knew I didn't have to worry about anything falling through the cracks. Sam actually got the flu right before our wedding and Three Little Words quickly shifted their team around. Danie was with us the whole day and had such a great energy. She took care of things I hadn't even thought of - her kit of day-of necessities is no joke. I seriously cannot recommend Three Little Words enough, they made the day perfect.

Sam was amazing! Professional, punctual, organized, all of those things. I planned a very small ceremony long-distance (I live in Houston). Sam took care of everything, so when I showed up in New Orleans, all I needed to do was get married!

Samantha and her team from Three Little Words were absolutely amazing! Hiring TLW for our month of coordination was the best decision we could have made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Samantha was a joy to work with beginning with our initial meeting over a cocktail. She was easy to talk with and quickly responded to calls/emails. Samantha truly went out of her way to perfectly implement our wedding vision, including creating a day-of- timeline, confirming times/details with vendors, and set up/clean up of our wedding ceremony and reception items. Samantha and her team gathered our presents, decor/belongings, and left over food from the venue at the end of the night; which we were able to pick up from her the next week. We truly were able to enjoy the night; while Samantha and her team rocked all the small details and beyond! Could not recommend Three Little Words enough!

Sam was the most amazing planner ever! She went above and beyond to make sure we had the most perfect wedding weekend ever! If there was any type of bump in the road, she was on top of it to do whatever necessary to correct it. We are still getting comments on how perfect our wedding was and how smooth everything was from start to finish! That is all thanks to Sam! Not only is she an amazing planner, she's a terrific person to work with! We actually had started with another planner, and once I spoke with Sam once, we switched immediately. Do yourself a favor and hire Sam for your wedding, you won't regret it!

Hiring Sam from Three Little Words for my month of wedding coordination was the best thing I ever did. She went out of her way to make sure that our day was perfect, including meeting us at the venue months before the wedding, perfectly implementing my wedding visions, and solving problems so I didn't have to worry about anything. She was always available to answer my questions and was really easy to work with. Everyone has been telling me how smoothly and perfectly our wedding flowed and it was all thanks to her. When we returned to the room after the wedding, she had even brought us left over food and left us a sweet note on our bed, the perfect end to the perfect day. Thank you so much for helping me have the wedding of my dreams! I can't say enough good things!

We’ve worked with Samantha and her team on a number of weddings in the last year and a half and we’re always happy when we learn that Three Little Words is working with a couple as they plan their wedding! Their involvement with planning definitely makes our job as a florist easier. She is involved in the entire process and is always present at the consultation and helps her bride make wise and realistic choices when planning flowers for her wedding. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and is able to assure her clients that she has everything under control.

Three Little Words did a superb job coordinating our wedding, which means my (now) wife and I were able to relax and just enjoy the day without worrying about the little details. We hired them to do our day-of coordinating, which includes a month of planning leading up to the wedding date as well. Sam was organized and efficient in her role as coordinator in the weeks leading up to the Big Day, meaning she got the information she needed from us and didn't worry us with the small stuff. On the day of our wedding, Sam and Danie were there every step of the way to make sure things ran smoothly and without any hiccups... at least no hiccups that we noticed, and that's the point! Because TLW did such a wonderful job, we never really noticed all the work they were putting in behind the scenes. And because of it, we were able to truly enjoy one of the best days of our lives. Thanks again, y'all!

Do yourself a favor and book Three Little Words ASAP! Not only will you have the sweetest people available to you on your big day, but they will relieve your wedding day stresses and work tirelessly to ensure everything is flawless! We had a large outdoor ceremony and reception which required coordination from several local vendors. From start to finish, Samantha and Danie worked with us to answer our questions no matter how big or small! On our wedding day, our cake was delivered with some slight damage, however, we never knew! They handled the situation with grace and worked their magic to fix it without us even knowing! Also, they followed up with us and our cake vendor to ensure we were satisfied even after our wedding was over. We highly recommend Three Little Words because of the excellent service, ability to troubleshoot on the spot, attention to detail, and of course, they understand its YOUR big day not just another wedding or event. Our wedding would not have been the same without Three Little Words! We will forever be grateful for their hard work and dedication!

My wedding was a BREEZE because I hired three little words. They made sure all my vendors and everyone in my wedding was on-time and prepared. I don't think I could have survived with out the help. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo much!!! Maureen Greany 7/28/2018

Three Little Words was the best decision we made for our wedding. Samantha was so easy to work with and I am forever thankful for her for making my wedding planning so easy! First time meeting with Samantha I knew right away she was going to be so easy to work with. I told her my vision of what I wanted and she did everything I asked and more. Through all the months of planning I never once felt stressed and at anytime I had questions or concerns she was right there to answer and ease my mind. On our wedding day I was able to relax with my bridesmaids while getting ready with no worries. I knew that she was handling every little detail. I said many times that day and through the whole planning process “I am SO thankful for Sam” and truly I don’t know what I would have done without her. THANK YOU 3LW for EVERYTHING!!! -Jamie

Samantha was incredible! Once I realized that I didn't have time to deal with "all the details" I called Three Little Words and they put together a custom quote for me. It was definitely worth the investment! They took care of all the details and all I had to do was sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful day! Would recommend them highly to anyone!

Choosing Three Little Words was the first and best decision we made for our wedding. We Worked primarily with Samantha and could not be more thankful for her help. For us, this was a destination wedding and we knew very little about the vendors we were hiring. Samantha assisted with every aspect of our wedding and the time and effort she put into our day was beyond what we could have expected. We literally had very little stress throughout the entire planning process and I cannot even put into words everything she did for us the day of the wedding. As the bride, I did not have to worry about one aspect of the day, it was completely carefree and anxiety free. I did not have to interface with any of the vedors that day and if there were issues, I did not know anything about them and for that we cannot be more thankful. The best decision we made was hiring Three Little Words! - Jen and Andy

We hired Three Little Words with about 7 months from the month we planned to get married. We are not local to New Orleans and would be planning/coordinating from another state. With a slightly reduced timeline, they got right to work. They took the personal touch to talk with us before anything started. We certainly thought they seemed like the right fit for us then. Now, post-wedding it is quite clear that our day would not have been as incredible and stress free as it was without them. They helped and coordinated with us from start to finish (even helping get items back to our hotel rooms after the wedding). They took the time to get to know us and listen to what we were asking for, and specifically tailored the experience for what we asked. They provided well-planned and detailed options for vendors within our taste and price-range. They made it simple for us to make the “big decisions” without any stress. A few weeks before the wedding when I was getting more stressed out, they were extremely responsive answering my questions about any of the small details. Our wedding was more perfect than I could have imagined it could be. Their professionalism, knack for details and personal attention allowed us to fully enjoy, relax and celebrate on our wedding day without stress. They thought of everything and were prepared for everything. Example: The day of our wedding there were severe thunderstorms (A tornado warning in the morning, the power went out at the venue). These amazing ladies handled everything that came their way. Samantha and Dani are phenomenal planners/coordinators.

I don't think I can say enough good things about these girls. They were recommended from a friend and were hands down the best money spent on the wedding- my husband and our families kept saying this throughout the planning process! The moment I contacted them for help planning the wedding, Samantha was quick to respond with advice and how to proceed. Planning a wedding in 6 months from a distance was not something I had ever planned on... But I had always wanted to get married in New Orleans and it was going to happen before starting graduate school in June 2018. The girls reassured me this was absolutely doable with a little bit of hustle! They did an amazing job helping me to put the wedding together and I could not have done it without them! From suggesting vendors to being the liaison for all communication, they could not have been better. They may not know, but they helped me decide to hire a videographer as I was on the fence about needing one. It ended up being one of the best things I could have done. I'm so thankful for that advice as the videos are something I will cherish forever and help to remember a day that flew by, beyond grateful can't even begin to cover it. All of the last minute details are enough to drive you crazy, but having these girls on your side will help to make your day go smoothly. The day of the wedding, I was able to relax with my family and bridesmaids, drink mimosas, and just enjoy the day without having to worry about the venue being set up, putting the programs together (I hadn't even realized that they weren't already folded haha), and answering any last minute questions-- it was wonderful! If you're struggling to decide to hire wedding planners or struggling to find the right ones, know that these girls will absolutely be worth it. They were the best investment for my wedding!

1) Hire wedding planners 2) Hire Three Little Words. I cannot say enough kind words about how incredible they were to work with throughout the whole process--from finding the perfect venue that would accommodate my vision AND be logistically super easy, to coordinating with vendors, to handling the decor, running the whole show, and more. They kept me grounded, kept me sane, kept me just-informed enough so I knew what was going on but didn't have to worry about the minutia, and best of all the day of all I had to focus on was not crying too hard during the ceremony. It is too much to say you love your wedding planners?
