Our wedding in Anguilla was everything we dreamed of and more, and we have our wedding planner to thank for making that possible. From the very beginning, they understood our vision: a true celebration of love surrounded by our favorite people. We wanted to spend our wedding weekend fully present with our friends and family, not worrying about logistics or timelines, and they made that happen seamlessly.
They went above and beyond in every way, treating our family and friends like their own and ensuring everyone felt welcomed, cared for, and celebrated. Because of their dedication, we were able to enjoy every moment and truly feel like guests at our own wedding. We are forever grateful for the most incredible weekend we could have imagined.

I truly don't know how to adequately describe how incredible Sheri Israel and her assistant Sophie Pickman of Weddings by Accomplished were. Hiring them was one of the best decisio...
ns we made for our entire wedding.
I handed Sheri a VERY robust list of asks — our wedding had an almost comical number of moving parts — and they executed every. single. one. perfectly. But what really blew me away was everything they did that I hadn't thought of. The details they added, the problems they anticipated before they could ever become problems, the way they managed our vendors and kept the entire weekend moving seamlessly — it was unbelievable.
My husband works in entertainment and I work in media, and we kept joking that Sheri and Sophie could absolutely crush it in a live television control room. The timeline they created for our wedding was INSANE. You would have thought they were planning a small country takeover. Every minute, person, vendor, movement and detail had been accounted for. They even built an app for us that somehow contained the answer to essentially every question we could possibly have.
And then the actual wedding day came — and there was not a single hiccup. Not one.
Our vendors kept telling us how rarely they had seen a wedding with so many moving pieces run so smoothly. Sheri and Sophie executed the timeline and every tiny detail to absolute perfection, all while being two of the most delightful, calming, FUN people you could ever hope to have around you on your wedding day.
Most importantly, they gave me something I genuinely didn't think was possible: I got to be a guest at my own wedding. I was completely relaxed. I wasn't checking the time, wondering where a vendor was, thinking about what needed to happen next, or worrying about a single detail. I just got to be there, with my husband and the people we love, and experience the day. And that was entirely because of Weddings by Accomplished.
The wedding would have been an entirely different experience without them. They didn't simply execute our vision — they made it better. And somewhere along the way, they became dear friends to us.
If you are lucky enough to have Sheri and Sophie planning your wedding, hand them the reins and enjoy the ride. They are absolute magic.

at she could best support us and guide us in certain decisions, while making sure everything felt authentic to who we are. I can’t imagine not having her there for the final stages of planning and immense weekend-of support and execution. She was such a natural fit with our group, my now husband’s family thought Sheri was my incredibly helpful aunt!! In the best of circumstances, a wedding is joyful, but still can be very overwhelming, and Sheri was such a steady and soothing presence. I knew that she had the logistics sorted out (and was able to make certain needed decisions day-of based on knowing me and my husband), and it really allowed us, and our families and friends, to focus on each other and the wedding and enjoy the moment. We love Sheri!!!

If I hadn't just gotten married, I would marry Sheri. She is a saint, a hero, an angel. I am so glad that we got to partner with Sheri, and I had no idea that wedding planning was ...
supposed to be this fun. From the outset of our very first meeting, it was clear that Sheri's only priority was to create a special event that felt authentic to me and my wife as a couple. She took the time to really get to know and understand us, and that was reflected in every detail of the weekend. Sheri was such an integral part of the event that my cousin asked if she was extended family - and I would say that at this point, she is!

h Sheri and Sophie. And yet, we still felt so sad once the wedding was over that we weren’t going to see them regularly! Our relationship was not only professional but deeply personal. Our wedding was out in Montauk, making it a destination wedding at 4 hours away from our home (and 3 hours away from theirs). Sheri and Sophie still made every single site visit. We wanted a coastal/nautical theme without being over the top and Sheri and Sophie made a huge effort to make sure that they understood exactly how to bring our vision to life. We were incredibly specific about our photography, music, and most everything else, too. They were there for us as full-service planners to not only coordinate essential details such as sourcing vendors and maintaining our budget, but to also keep us calm and relaxed throughout the whole process. Our wedding day went so smoothly and the two of us were stress-free, present and joyful thanks to Sheri and Sophie. Every detail of the ceremony and reception exceeded our expectations. The two of them acted as our personal assistants from the moment we signed the contract, all the way through to the wedding night and our mini-moon after the wedding. We felt so special and supported and catered to, and so did all of our family, bridesmaids, and guests. When asked after our wedding how it went, we could say with complete honesty that it was perfect, flawless, unforgettable. Sheri and Sophie went above and beyond for Adrienne and me, and we could not have imagined planning our wedding with anyone else. If you are considering a planner, stop searching immediately and book Sheri (& Sophie) at Weddings by Accomplished! We can’t wait for them to plan our dream honeymoon once our lives slow down a little bit. We will have to keep coming up with reasons to have events and to travel so that we can keep coming back to them!

oul into her work, uses her vast knowledge of wedding venues, travel arrangements, and event planning to create the most perfect weekend. I have been a bridesmaid 14 times in my life and know that every wedding has some element of drama or mishap. However, from the time our wedding events started (and there were multiple), the entire process went so smoothly I could not believe it. It began with a tequila tasting on the beach with our guests to welcome them, followed by a fantastic boat day the following day, and concluding with our dream wedding. I wish I could relive the feeling of that weekend every day. Thank you, Sheri, for genuinely making me the happiest bride there is.

onversation, it was clear that she genuinely cared about making our special day unforgettable—and she exceeded every expectation. She also brought the experience and infrastructure to ensure an easy destination wedding.
Planning a wedding from afar can feel overwhelming, but Sheri turned it into a seamless, stress-free experience. She and her great team were incredibly attentive to every detail, from recommending stunning venues to coordinating with local vendors who were all top-notch. Their knowledge of the area and local customs added such a personal touch to our celebration, making everything feel authentic and magical.
Communication was easy—every email, call, and message was answered promptly and with warmth. Even with a time difference, Sheri made us feel like we were their top priority. She truly listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined -- from a complex mezcal tasting welcome event to an all-day boat excursion.
On the wedding day, everything was executed to perfection. The venue was breathtaking, the décor was exactly what we dreamed of, and the timeline flowed effortlessly. It was clear that Sheri and her team had everything under control, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our loved ones.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the experience, and many said it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication, creativity, and expertise of Sheri.
If you’re considering a destination wedding, look no further. We will forever be grateful for their role in making our wedding day the happiest and most beautiful day of our lives.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sheri and her team combed through every aspect, details I would've never thought of, and tirelessly advocated for us if the situation arose. If I could give any bride (or groom!) any advice it would be to trust this team with your celebration. The day of our wedding I didn't have to worry about a single thing and was able to relax and enjoy our special day. Everything went off without a hitch!
We could not be more appreciative of all of the work Weddings by Accomplished did and cannot stress how impressed we were with every little detail they touched on.

I normally do not find myself posting reviews and typically only have the urge when I feel like people need to be warned to stay away from a product or service. This review is simi...
lar in that a warning still needs to be relayed, just not against The Accomplished Traveler as you may be thinking. This warning is for anyone thinking of getting married without hiring Sheri and The Accomplished Traveler. Don't do it. Full stop.
Sheri and team are worth every penny and will turn a stressful planning process and potentially stressful event into the wedding of your dreams. You will get your time back and you and your guest and family can simply enjoy the event. Sheri will save your life and your relationships, not just to your betrothed, but everyone related to the event.
Life occasionally introduces you to people who simply excel at what they do. Sheri is one of these people. Right from the start Sheri truly connected with us in planning the wedding of our vision. If you have not yet planned an event or wedding, like I had not, you may not realize just how many personalities and relationships need to be managed at once, not to mention the actual logistics of the wedding. Sheri handed all of this, seemingly with ease.
Without getting into too many specifics the best way I can describe our experience with Sheri and the Accomplished Traveler is through my first hand account of the wedding from breaking ground on planning until brunch cleanup at the end:
I never once dealt with a single complication or situation I did not want to deal with and our remote wedding turned out perfect.

s like l can just do it myself and figure it out, but since it was my bride that would have to do most of the heavy lifting and decision making it really wasn’t something I could be apposed to. I have to say though I am so glad we had Sheri in our corner for the bulk of the heavy lifting. We met Sheri a couple of times prior to starting the process so she could get to know us and vice versa and really tailor the experience to us. She was very professional throughout the whole process. We would give her some basic information and requirements and then quickly would be presented with two to three options that allowed us to be engaged and shape the wedding but not have to do the “grunt” work of tracking down the information. All the venders that we worked with and were presented with were very professional and were highly recommended. Not everything went perfect, it’s a wedding, things happen, whether it’s an extra car needed, more fans needed due to the heat or even a plan B in case it rained, Sheri was always there to get us through it. Everything couldn’t have gone better, from helping book travel not only for us but our family, to setting up the week’s itinerary for the whole trip, finding us the best excursions and finally working with all the wedding team, they all worked as a team to make our day the best day ever. We were so happy with everything and would highly recommend Sheri to anyone that needed her services, it was well worth it. In fact we already made one referral when we got back from the trip…

nd negotiated flawlessly with vendors. The day of wedding experience was completely stress free. I was free to enjoy all aspects of my wedding without having to worry about a thing day of - everything was completely organized and taken care of, allowing me to be fully present and treasure the experience. From the get go, she took the time to understand my vibe, aesthetic, and vision and heard any concerns around budget and addressed these when presenting vendor selections. She then developed relationships with these vendors to communicate my desires in an authentic way. Early on, she earned my trust, and was always open to my input, especially since I was very involved in the design choices, and wanted to curate a particular experience. Since it was a destination wedding, having her coordinate accommodations was essential. Her experience was paramount, as she thought of so many aspects I had never considered. She also always made everyone involved in the planning process, including parents and family, felt heard without challenging options and perspectives. This is one of her most valuable skills - to listen, integrate, and devise a plan that is inclusive yet aligned. Her straightforward nature always gets things done in a way that is very direct and professional, yet welcoming and approachable. Furthermore, she has a unique ability to make you feel special and seen throughout the process. I couldn't be happier with my experience working with her and her incredible team, and would recommend her to anyone, not just for weddings, but for any event planning. She simply nailed my vision and her execution was perfect. Investing in a wedding planner was by far the most valuable aspect of my wedding and I would not hesitate to choose Sheri and her team.

re that we enjoyed planning the wedding even dealing with many personal obstacles the past year and a half. I just can't say enough about Sheri - between changing our wedding dates, dealing with COVID unknowns and many moving pieces - Sheri stayed incredibly organized, calm and positive.
We hosted a full wedding weekend in New Jersey, from a rehearsal dinner and bonfire on the beach to a 265 person black tie wedding at the Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury and a send off brunch the following day. Every single thing was perfectly executed and managed by Sheri, Blaine and the rest of her team. I was able to enjoy every moment of the weekend without worrying about all the details. Sheri became a part of our family and we couldn't have done this without her!

A 5 star review seems inadequate of a rating for the job that Sheri did for our weddings. Yes, that's plural, she helped us plan not one but two weddings a year apart, both in Octo...
ber working with Pandemic Protocols. She is organized, has an amazing attention to detail, always steps ahead, has a wonderful network of people she works with and very professional. She always gave great advice and alternative options on how to incorporate what we wanted to accomplish. With Sheri by our side, we knew she would have our best interest when representing us to our vendors. Those vendors in turn would tell us how great she was to work with. That speaks volumes to me. Her love for event planning as well as her clients comes through in the final product. Our wedding was amazing and we had the best time. The vendors she helped us pick out were all such amazing people. She gave us the wedding we wanted ... twice, and both ran so smoothly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sheri and Celebrations by Accomplished Traveler.

of our family over the course of our wedding planning journey. Sheri is unbelievably organized, diligent, a fantastic communicator and one of the most reliable people that I know. She was exceptional at managing our expectations, being real with us about costs, and helped us make very difficult decisions during our stressful COVID wedding planning period. If we didn't have Sheri, I truly don't know what we would have done.
Sheri is just a special human being and any family would be lucky to work with her during their wedding journey. I truly can't say enough about our experience working with her and her team. You will not go wrong working with Sheri, and you'll gain a friend too.

Hiring Sheri as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our destination wedding in Costa Rica. Besides the obvious...helping us plan a beautiful wedding and choosing ...
all of the details, decor, food, etc., she helped with planning excursions for us and our guests, comps for us, and the most valuable...helping with travel arrangements for our guests. When they had a question (or comment!) we directed them to Sheri. Besides doing an awesome job Sheri was a joy to work with...so upbeat and friendly and positive. Definitely recommend Sheri and Accomplished traveler!

ad it all together and that I could manage it on my own... but I was wrong!!!!!
Sheri came in with such a level of professionalism and knowledge of how to make sure everything ran smoothly and perfectly!!! From the minute Sheri came on board to help with the planning and details of our wedding weekend, everything was so much easier.
Sheri helped to alleviate any stress leading up to the wedding by making sure everyone had the correct information and time lines for the weekend.. All of the vendors were provided with a copy of the detailed timeline to ensure everything went as planned!!! Sheri provided helpful tips and resources that kept me and my husband on track for our big day.
On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Sheri and her team had it covered. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked Sheri to help us through this amazing time.
I would recommend Sheri and her team to absolutely anyone!

e Celebrations team assisted me (and all the guests) with their travel arrangements to ensure everyone’s accommodations and transportation was taken care of. This made planning to attend a destination wedding totally painless. Since we had been in correspondence before the wedding, it was so nice to meet Sheri upon my arrival, and her team couldn't have been more welcoming. The weekend’s festivities consisted of multiple events, in addition to the amazing wedding day, and each event was so memorable and fun. Every fine detail was looked after meticulously. Sheri and her excellent team were not only there to ensure the bride and groom were happy, but they made every effort to ensure each guest was having the time of their life as well. There was an extra level of care and personal touches in each step of the planning and execution. I would highly recommend Celebrations by The Accomplished Traveler’s services!

antly put at ease - that says a lot about a vendor, but even more so from someone whose an expert herself. I already had high expectations for the day-of, but I was truly blown away by the festivities. It made me want another wedding. As someone whose also in the industry, I noticed every detail was thought through and beautifully executed. What was truly touching was the rapport between Sheri and the bride and groom, along with her family. It all felt really personal -- after going through the wedding circuit, it really stood out to me.

oordinator. We had interviewed several coordinators with little to no success until we met with Sheri and The Accomplished Traveler Team. They’re professionalism and attention to detail helped alleviate the stress of planning a wedding. Sheri in particular, helped with providing additional suggestions to help our guests feel more welcomed and comfortable during the event; shawls for the ladies for the cool October ceremony and slippers for the ladies to slip into should they need a brake from their heels were just two great ideas she suggested and we hadn’t considered for our guests.
Sheri and TAT orchestrated our wedding day with such finesse and professionalism neither my husband nor I had to worry about the minor details during the day or the last minute changes that sometimes need to happen during a wedding. We were able to enjoy our day, our family, and our friends without having to worry. We cannot recommend Sheri and TAT enough and they do amazing work.

There are always a lot of moving pieces when planning a wedding and arguably a lot of stress associated with it. A good friend of ours suggested we look into a day-of wedding coord...
inator to help with the burden. While interviewing planners, my husband and I weren’t sure if we would find the right person/group, until we met with Sheri and The Accomplished Traveler (TAT). Their professionalism, insights, and suggestions with décor, flow of the day, and orchestrating all of the moving parts of our wedding removed all the stressed leading up to our wedding and the day off. Sheri’s professionalism is unrivaled; from dealing with all of our vendors to having to manage some difficult situations at the wedding venue, which we didn’t find out about until the day after, Sheri managed it all. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding with our friends and family and not have to worry about the details because we had an amazing team supporting us through Sheri and TAT.
Sheri is a truly amazing individual and in the end, the best way I can describe her work is this: we were able to be guests at our own wedding. We were truly able to be present and able to appreciate everything the day had to offer.
We can not recommend Sheri and TAT enough.

We started our wedding planner search looking for local event planning in the city of our destination wedding, San Antonio, which turned out to be the wrong choice since that reall...
y limited us. Then we ended up using our travel agents who were also in the event planning business, which works out especially well for a destination wedding.
Sheri and the TAT team seamlessly coordinated every aspect of our multi-day wedding weekend, from the budget, venues, hotels, transportation, entertainment, catering, photographer, videographer, activities for the guests, decorations, florist, beauty (hair/makeup/nails), invitations/stationary, gifts, seating charts and more of course. On our wedding day, we knew that we had nothing to stress about because everything was being taken care of by Sheri and her team. We couldn't have asked for a better planner.
The team at TAT also sent us a beautiful bouquet of flowers on our one year anniversary. Our wedding was the most spectacular weekend, we absolutely loved everything! Sheri, Eric and Blaine went above and beyond. We recommend TAT wholeheartedly.

Our destination wedding would not have been possible, as well-executed or as magical if it was not for Celebrations at the Accomplished Traveler. The experience was beyond our ex...
pectations. We want to go back!
We were all over the map picking a place to get married. Sheri at the Accomplished Traveler helped source several authentic destinations and properties.
She listened to our ideas and dreams of our wedding and once we finalized a location, she and her team jumped into cultivating a customized wedding experience for us and our guests!
The ability for Sheri and her team Taylor and Blaine, who were both wonderful to also work with, to organize the entire three days was priceless for us. We were lucky to be able to spread our wedding over three days at a boutique resort buyout, creating a wedding weekend and several opportunities for our friends and family to get to know one another. They covered all communications with our guests as well as the required transactions with the property and local transportation. Everything went so smoothly and we received numerous kind words from our guests on how pleasant the team was to work with.
The Accomplished Traveler always felt like they were working in our best interests. There were several elements of the wedding that because of the distance from where we live (New York City vs. St. Lucia) we had to trust Sheri and the team to hit our goals while coming in at budget. We were not let down!
We never felt the company overstepped as wedding planners and this was contributed to their significant communication and listening. Not only did we love the team - but so did all of our friends and family. The team was a dream come true - and we cannot thank them enough.

ties in terms of sourcing, execution, and helping our vision come to life (which was top top notch) but also her demeanor and incredibly calming presence, which made a HUGE impact on my husband and I. We both agree the smartest and best decision we made through this entire process was hiring Sheri and her team. She was also a huge asset not only for the wedding itself but helping weigh in on everything surrounding it, from the Friday night party to the Sunday brunch. And one of our favorite memories from the whole wedding night was getting back to our hotel room and seeing that Sheri had filled our room with flowers, photos and all the leftover desserts she knew I would want. :) Not to mention, she was one of the FIRST people to reach out with a gift and well wishes on our one year anniversary. Top notch planning because this company is full of top notch people.
