- Rebecca ThomasCeo and OwnerI began my career as a wedding planner in 2007, a few years after planning my own wedding, and completing training through the Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants. My detail-oriented personality and organization skills helped to play big part in discovering this passion. When I am not planning weddings, I am camping by a lake and paddleboarding with my dog. I love traveling to new places, my favorite place I've traveled to is Hawaii. Favorite part of a wedding day: When I fluff the bride's train and send her down the aisle to meet her groom, because then I can take a deep breath and enjoy the moment we have all gathered for; to witness two people's love for each other. Favorite flower: Iris Favorite color: PurpleFun fact about me: I am a pescatarian (only eat fish), and I once had 5 pet rats. Favorite venues: High West Distillery, La Caille, River Bottoms Ranch, Blue Sky Ranch
- Samantha BreseeLead PlannerI have always loved planning, whether it is a birthday, vacation or BBQ. My dedication to the event, the details and organization is so worth it to see it all come full circle. I began my career with the Event Planning program at Salt Lake Community College and joined the Wedding Expectations team in 2019. I am football mom and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Favorite part of a wedding day: Seeing every piece of the planning be put together to make a dream come true for the new Mr. and Mrs. Favorite flower: Peach Dahlia Favorite color: Coral Fun fact about me: I am a beauty school graduate. Favorite venues: Red Butte, High West Distillery, Millcreek Inn, Solitude
- MeghannCoordinatorI'm so happy to join the Wedding Expectations team! Creating memorable experiences that will be remembered fondly by you and your loved ones is my passion. There is no greater feeling than seeing a client completely happy and at ease on their most special day. My background and experience in event planning, from large to small groups, has equipped and prepared me to assist you. I bring positive energy, strong attention to detail, creativity and communication skills to each wedding I assist with. Outside of event planning, my other passions include: traveling and exploring new places, being active (especially in any body of water) and spending time with my husband and two children. Favorite Part of a Wedding Day: I love when the guests see a couple for the first time on their wedding day. Favorite Flower: Peony Favorite Color: Green Fun Fact About Me: I grew up in Louisiana, right down the road from an alligator farm.

Samantha and team did a fantastic job planning our wedding! She was very friendly and organized, kept us on track to complete decisions along the way, and was able to recommend great vendors for everything we needed plus communicate with them directly. We used Wedding Expectations for florals and decor as well, which made it so easy to get so much done in one place and for an affordable price compared to many other vendors in the area. My bridal bouquet was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! Thank you for helping to make our big day so special!

Samantha was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! She was incredibly organized, communicative, and helpful, always staying one step ahead throughout the entire planning process. Her attention to detail and calm demeanor truly set her apart. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond my expectations, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—she handled it all. I couldn't have imagined our day without her! She was not only timely but also made us feel supported and heard every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Rebecca, Meghann, and this company. My wedding far exceeded my hopes and dreams, and I owe all the credit of that achievement to Wedding Expectations. We communicated often and in great detail. Any and all questions I had were answered and any problems were sorted out quickly. The planning leading up to the wedding was an unbelievable amount of work, but these ladies handled it with grace and professionalism. Wedding Expectations handled nearly every aspect of my wedding, from tablecloths and napkin folds to flower arrangements and seating charts. Every single detail was coordinated. They spoke regularly with outside vendors and the venue, often juggling several lines of communication simultaneously. The day-of coordination was out of this world. I have no doubt Meghann would have brought me the moon if I had asked for it. My wedding went off without a hitch. It was the best day of my life, and I owe it all to Wedding Expectations. From the depths of my soul, thank you Rebecca and Meghann!! If you have no idea where to start with planning your wedding, and you're feeling a bit overwhelmed, you've found the right people to help guide you towards your happily ever after.

We live out of town and it was going to be difficult to plan a wedding in Utah from North Carolina. Samantha was such a joy and delight to work with. So professional and timely. Her and her team made it such that we simply had to show up and enjoy our wedding day. I could not say enough good things! Despite not being able to rehearse, everything went off without a hitch. It was a very fun day and we couldn't have done it without wedding expectations!

Skyli was great! We are from out of state and had our ceremony in the Utah mountains. She handled everything pre wedding and the local vendors. She set up the timeline and flow of the night perfectly. Did all the decor set up and break down. Wedding expectations did my flowers and Skyli did my cake! My wedding was stress free and fun because of Skyli! Thank you for all your hard work!!

I’m so grateful for wedding expectations for helping me have the perfect day! They really care about the bride, and were a great go in between with the vendors! They were absolutely essential to having an enjoyable wedding. They handled all the small details from making sure we ate to the timing of events, setting up and taking down decorations. I could not recommend a service more. My sister had just gotten married and used a different coordinator, was so impressed with everything they did for my wedding!

I would absolutely recommend Wedding Expectations to any couples getting married in the greater SLC area. I got the coordination package since I already found my vendors. My coordinator Skyli was literally the best thing on my wedding day other than my husband. Her and her assistant Megan were absolute perfection. They made the day run sooo smoothly and did everything to make our day stress free and beautiful. I cannot say enough about them. They made my dream vision come to life at our gorgeous venue and fixed any hiccups that came along without us feeling stressed at all. The made the whole day flow perfectly. All of the decor we brought was packed up perfectly and put into the vehicles they came in and we could just leave knowing everything was taken care of. Skyli & Megan are two of the sweetest and caring people that make you feel so special and take such good care of you, your guests and your vendors. The communication with all my vendors was done so perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Attention to detail, communication, and just everything was so on point. Rebecca from Wedding Expectations made my floral dreams come true with all bouquets, boutonnières, arch pieces and the most amazing flower crown that made me feel like the most beautiful ethereal goddess. I am just so in awe of this company and highly highly recommend them to anyone. Not to mention they even do rentals which I used for a few things and those were just perfect and easy to pick out on their website. Forever grateful!!!

Wedding Expectations was wonderful! We utilized them for wedding coordination and design & florals. Megan Gadd was our coordinator. She was professional and attentive to detail. I was not stressed at all on the wedding day knowing Megan was there to help! Everything went fantastically.
We also utilized Wedding Expectation's floral service. Rebecca Thomas is amazing! I cannot say how helpful it was to have planning and decor/florals under one roof. Megan and Rebecca communicated frequently and executed my wedding vision perfectly. Everyone was on the same page and I never had to worry. My wedding florals turned out EXACTLY like my inspiration photos.
This company is such a great value! 100% recommend.

Samantha was a fantastic wedding planner! She helped me stay on track with choosing vendors and completing tasks in a timely manner. Always responsive with advice and any questions I had. She did really great at ensuring my wedding dreams came true and communicating all of this info to the venue and other vendors. I also loved their in house floral services which we used. I took forever to decide on what I really wanted, and they were patient and flexible when I made changes. Highly recommend across the board!

Samantha was amazing! I had my wedding in a friend's backyard rather than a venue, so I was afraid there were tons of little things I was going to miss. Samantha was so responsive and open to meeting even before the wedding. And on the day, I didn't have to worry about a thing! Everything ran smoothly and no one came up to me with any questions or concerns - it was like clockwork!
I'm so glad we hired her - It definitely gave me huge peace of mind

Wedding expectations were so amazing from start to finish! We hired them for 3 month coordination and floral as well. They also have decor to rent through them which was a huge help and made things a lot easier. All of our flowers were gorgeous and were exactly what we wanted. Megan, our coordinator, took care of everything for us and everything we didn’t know we needed. She set up all the decor for us and the venue looked better than I could’ve imagined. She helped guide us through the day and everything went smoothly as planned. We didn’t know how much we needed a coordinator and we couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to help us with our wedding!

We were so lucky to stumble upon Wedding Expectations. They were much more affordable than most wedding planners we found, yet provided everything the other companies did. Our wedding planner was Megan Gadd. She was incredibly calm, good natured, and very professional. I honestly didn't worry at all about decorations on the day, because I knew Megan, her assistant, and the florist Rebecca Thomas, had it handled. I trusted them completely. The ballroom looked absolutely gorgeous when we entered for our reception. They took care of things I didn't even think about like making sure we always had drinks during photos and socializing and making sure cards and gifts were safe and sound. If you want a calm, smooth wedding Megan will make it happen!

While some couples decide to go without a wedding planner opting to have one makes things so so much easier. Our original videographer bailed on us last minute and luckily we were able to find an amazing videographer quickly with Rebecca’s help (Wedding Expectations). Not only are they reasonably priced, they are full service. For the most part, we did opted to pick out our own vendors but they had a great list to choose from. We talked over zoom a handful of times and Rebecca was able to keep things organized and even helped us plan stuff we hadn’t really thought through. Ultimately they made the wedding a breeze. People are usually stressed in the weeks coming up to the wedding but everything was sorted out and we didn’t have to worry about things the day of. They have many packages that fit all types of budgets and they have a lot of equipment/decor you can rent. We highly recommend Wedding Expectations!!

What a savior Wedding Expectations turned out to be. We worked with Stacey and we were so impressed within minutes of meeting her. She was the true timeline enforcer we needed and she made sure all of our vendors were in line/ready to go. We attempted to plan/coordinate our wedding day for as long as we could but needed so much help. Wedding Expectations took the weight off of our shoulders and we were able to enjoy our celebration. Only regret is not calling sooner!

If you are thinking about hiring wedding expectations for your weeding…. DO IT!
Samantha was amazing to work with. Our wedding day was perfect and went so smooth all thanks to Samantha. As a bride, weddings can tend to be stressful however, Samantha coordinated and worked with all our vendors to make sure everything was was perfect. She helped me through the entire planning process, gave great advice and was a great support! I am very grateful we decided to go with Samantha and the wedding expectations team. It was a 12/10 experience.

Samantha was amazing! Our wedding went off without a hitch and Samantha was so responsive and helpful with everything, especially since we had to move our wedding (like so many couples) so she helped us navigate that and adjust things with our vendors! They also do flowers and rentals so it was such a relief to be able to have her help with all that and know it was all in-house!

I decided to hire Rebecca pre-covid for my wedding scheduled on 5/23/20. It was going to be a destination wedding in Park City, so I really needed to have a wedding planner in the state to help with variety of things. She was without a doubt so great helping me decide on vendors and all the details. Anytime I called her she made me feel so much better and my anxiety went away, and she was ALWAYS available! Then Covid happened.. and I can honestly say without them I am not sure if I would have gone through with an actual wedding! She stayed with me through every step, from wedding being cancelled to rescheduling a venue and all my vendors she honestly did everything! Also the day of the wedding could not have been more perfect. we got married on 9/4/20, smaller wedding. She decorated perfectly and did our floral which was amazing, people are still talking about it! She made it look like a perfect pinterest wedding! She also made sure every detail was accounted for, and my day was completely stress free from start to finish! hiring them was by far the BEST decision I made. I am so thankful for having such a wonderful day and they played a HUGE role in that! I will forever be thankful!

Hiring Miranda was the best decision of our entire wedding process. She's a month of coordinator, but helped with whatever questions we had way before that. She brought such an ease of mind and took care of details we didn't even think about. Even our other vendors complimented her pristine organization. I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like if it wasn't for her - thanks Miranda!

We are so glad we hired Wedding Expectations for full service planning and floral- Rebecca was great! From the start she helped us figure out timelines, get quotes from vendors, and was always available by e-mail and phone. I had lots of ideas for decorations and flowers but had a hard time putting my "vision" together. She was able to define that vision with some discussion and pintrest images and everything really came together for us exactly how we wanted it! We especially loved our floral arrangements- she came up with multiple different centerpiece ideas and we got so many compliments on them! It was invaluable to have a planner there the day of our wedding and I felt like all we had to do on the day of was show up and enjoy our day! At one point after dancing, a piece of lace on my dress began to come loose and she had a little emergency kit that was able to get the dress back together- wedding dress disaster avoided. We had a wonderful wedding day that we will remember forever. Thank you Rebecca!

Miranda did such an amazing job! I am so happy we decided to hire a wedding planner because it made the months leading up to the wedding so much easier, and I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of. The venue was decorated beautifully and Miranda handled everything that came up - and even sent her assistant back to our hotel when someone forgot to bring the favors. She was so friendly and encouraging during the planning process and made great recommendations for vendors and decorations that fit with our theme and budget. She did this all while planning her own wedding (among other clients) and I never even knew the difference because she was so personal and organized. We had a perfect wedding day and we couldn't have done it without Miranda and her team!

We absolutely loved working with Rebecca! She helped us have the wedding we have always dreamed of!

She also helped us cut cost with our decor and giving great ideas on how to have a beautiful wedding that didn’t cost a fortune!

Rebecca was so so wonderful! Highly recommend! We hired her for day-of-coordination services. She sent email reminders in the months prior to the wedding with short to-do lists. Then a few weeks before the wedding we had a long phone call to discuss all of the details. Rebecca was very thorough and asked good questions in advance. She coordinated with our other vendors as needed and attended the rehearsal to make sure she knew the plan. Wedding day went great, no issues came up that I am aware of, and she handled everything without asking me any questions! The whole day flowed perfectly.
Most importantly, Rebecca provided me with all of the last minute help and the peace of mind that I needed. One example - the week before the wedding we needed a sweetheart table and tablecloth that we initially thought another vendor would provide, I freaked out, then emailed Rebecca, and she just handled it. She was always kind, responsive, on top of things, and a pleasure to work with.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Hiring Rebecca/Wedding Expectations was the single worst decision I made when planning my wedding.
I was initially interested in her company because of the lower fees, but I certainly got what I paid for. She was unorganized & unprofessional. She gave a lot of reassurance (aka “lip service”) that things would come together, but she never came through on her responsibilities. I had my doubts about her abilities, so I literally did her job for her—I typed out every single detail of the wedding decor for her (where the cake should go, how many candles per table, etc.). She blatantly disregarded it all. Not only did it look like she just threw the decor together, but my guests actually arrived before the ceremony was even set up. Having her at the wedding was additionally stressful because I was constantly asking her to do her job and keep things organized.
She did not keep the wedding/dinner/reception on schedule (a timeline that I provided for her). I paid extra for her to bring along “assistants,” though she solicited my wedding party to pack things up and take down the venue at the end of the night. The most egregious part is the fact that she threw away thousands and thousands of dollars worth of flowers (including my bridal bouquet!) despite being told by multiple people that we were saving all the flowers.
I would never, ever recommend anyone to work with this company.
response 02/19/2018
It is extremely upsetting that Jessica is so unhappy, and surprising since I have not hear...
d from her since her wedding 5 months ago. Unfortunately most of her claims are inaccurate, only some of which I will point out. We always create a timeline for our clients, but she chose to create her own. Floral centerpieces were sent home with guests at the end of the night, which was previously discussed. Decor was setup as per her instructions. We were not instrumental in setting up for ceremony, her florist was taking care of that aspect. For anyone reading this I hope you will take into account the many other 5 star reviews from satisfied clients and over a decade of experience. I would also like to mention that it is always best to trust in the professional you hire to do their job so you can relax and enjoy your day.

If I could leave no stars I definitely would. My fiancé and I contact Rebecca via email with our concerns, instead of reaching an agreement with us she decided to terminate our contract. With that being said we never once told her we wanted to end our relationship, she just jumped the gun and did what was best for her, and not us her clients.
response 04/07/2017
This review comes as a bit of a surprise following their last email, thanking me for my pr...
ofessionalism and telling me they would recommend me to family and friends. Unfortunately they did send me an email threatening to terminate services after only two weeks of hiring me. Feeling as though I could not meet their expectations I decided it was in everyone's best interest to part ways. Something I have never had to do before and hope I don't have to do again.

Rebecca was amazing. By far the best money I spent on the wedding. She sent monthly email reminders leading up to the wedding telling us what needed to be completed and if not already completed she had great advice on what to do. She contacted all our vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page in the week leading up to the big day. She was the point of contact and I didn't have to deal with anyone which was such a load off our shoulders. We were all sent a tentative timeline a few days prior to the wedding. She was available for our rehearsal the day before and showed up early to make
sure everyone and everything was in the right place. All I had to worry about was getting down the aisle. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone!

Wedding expectations made my dream wedding a reality! Rebecca was so amazing, I seriously don't know what I would have done if I didn't hire her, she listened to all my concerns, wishes and stayed patient when we changed our minds a million times about certain things we wanted. I could go on and on about how amazing Rebecca is but I'll keep it short and sweet and just say if you want someone to make your dream wedding become a reality wedding expectations is the company for you! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for everything!

Hiring Rebecca as my wedding planner was the best decision I made for my wedding. She not only saved me the money it cost to hire her, but made the day smooth and took away any stress I had. Rebecca is a true pro. She made sure every detail was covered and even added extra special touches that made the day even more amazing than I ever imagined.
Here are some examples of the great service I received: 1) When I was having trouble with my florist, Rebecca stepped in and found discrepancies in the bill, which saved me a huge amount on my flowers. 2) When I couldn't figure out what additional decor I needed, Rebecca again came through with her own solutions. She provided me lanterns, garland, and gorgeous ribbon. 3) When I couldn't figure out how to tie-in our theme, Rebecca had great ideas that added to the day, even purchasing items on her own to make it all work. 4) Rebecca also provided additional items that I never would have thought of that made our wedding even more special. 5) She took my stress away by keeping me focused when she could tell I was going to lose it.
I would hire this amazing woman again in a heartbeat. You'll be glad you did.

Rebecca was fantastic to work with. We were hesitant about spending the money for a wedding planner at the beginning but are so glad we ended up doing it. She took care of everything the last couple weeks leading up to the wedding and ran the wedding day so smooth. She was fun yet very professional to work with.

Rebecca is such a great person and wedding planner! She was always there to answer any questions I had, no matter how silly they may have been. She paid attention to every detail and helped our wedding ceremony flow perfectly! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a party planner!

Rebecca with Wedding Expectations was absolutely amazing! We had a very complicated wedding and would not have survived it without Rebecca. We got married at a venue that required special shuttle transportation of all of our guests, we had a ton of bridesmaids and groomsmen, about 150 guests and all of the traditional activities. Rebecca was there for all of it!
Rebecca coordinated all of the details and worked with all of our other vendors so we didn't have to worry about it.She was well prepared and had everything set up and coordinated before the ceremony and reception and she kept the night flowing throughout the reception. The wedding was beautiful and so much stress was relieved because of Rebecca and her knowledge and efficiency. I couldn't recommend her more! She was fantastic!
