Weddings by Sarah Angelique

d no work product, and ultimately ghosted us. Please continue reading for the details if you haven’t already crossed her off your list. Our relationship started in early January 2022 and she was the first vendor we hired. Our venue required hiring a coordinator and provided a few recommendations. We thought that experience with the venue and relationships with local vendors would serve us well, so we hired her. First signs of trouble occurred in February. Upon us hiring her, we communicated a date that we’d travel to Paso Robles from our home in the Bay Area for late Feb, providing 6+ weeks lead time for her. It’s an expensive trip for us plus we have full lives with work and family obligations, so we wanted to lock in the key vendors on this trip that required in person meetings. We reiterated the importance of this trip multiple times to Sarah. We held weekly conversations as well as emailed and texted with her, so we thought this was under control. About a week out prior to our travel weekend, we started asking about a schedule because there was none. These requests got more urgent as the week proceeded. The MORNING we were driving to Paso Robles, we asked her for details of our first vendor meeting and that’s when we finally got a schedule. Needless to say the trip didn’t go well. We wasted time with vendors that weren’t priority and some were so misaligned with our needs which a quick conversation could have avoided those meetings. But we did walk away from the trip with a couple of leads to move to contract. In March, we started trying to follow up with Sarah on the vendors we liked as we wanted to secure them and avoid the risk of losing our date to other couples. Sarah claimed it was under control but we were never presented with contracts or asked for deposits. Our biggest follow up with was catering given the one Sarah presented to us was a complete mismatch. We undertook the search ourselves and ultimately found a caterer that fit our needs and budget. As we got into late March and then April, we started to hear less and less from Sarah. She would fire off weird updates to assure us she was hard at work but generally wouldn’t return our texts or calls in the timely fashion as in the early part of the relationship. We still had no vendors secured and we started to get nervous and knew we needed to plan another trip. We decided to follow up with the handful of vendors we had contact info for just to see if there was a hold up somewhere. They all universally responded that they were either waiting on Sarah for a go ahead or that they didn’t have our date secured. That’s when we ended the relationship and took the planning upon ourselves. Even in the final 48 hours, she didn’t reply to our urgent requests or even the fact we told her she was fired. To this day, we haven’t heard from her. To say that she overpromised and under delivered is an understatement, steer far clear with your wedding planning needs.

though my younger daughter's wedding was in Southern California (Lake Arrowhead) we couldn't imagine working with another wedding planner. Sarah did such a FANTASTIC job on my daughter's wedding last Saturday! Even though she didn't know the area, or the vendors, she won them over quickly and formed a team which operated like a well-oiled machine -- it was like they had worked together many times before and that's thanks to Sarah! In fact a few of the vendors are trying to talk Sarah into doing more weddings with them in Lake Arrowhead. They've never seen such excellent work and were blown away by her expertise and work ethic (as are we!). Thanks to Sarah my daughter had the wedding of her dreams and we couldn't be happier! Sarah goes above and beyond the usual duties of a planner and works tirelessly to make sure everyone is happy, all the details are handled, challenges are calmly solved (we had a bear at our wedding!!) and everyone is happy. And what makes it even better - she's super fun to work with!! We had many laughs and fun times with Sarah! Thanks to Sarah Angelique both my daughters had the weddings of their dreams and we have a friend for life. We love you Sarah!!

by Sarah Angelique is worth every penny! Sarah expertly planned our wedding and it far exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process she was so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and always had our best interest at heart. From start to finish, Sarah thought of every detail for our big day. She helped execute on our vision and truly brought it to life. Sarah was was always available to talk via phone or email and in the midst of our wedding planning, she became a close friend. On our wedding day, we were relaxed and got to enjoy every moment because we knew Sarah had it handled. We've been to several other weddings this year and have realized the value of having someone like Sarah. Someone who’s thought of everything, truly understands wedding traditions, style and etiquette, and who's there for you in case anything were to happen. We had the best day of our life thanks to Sarah and her expertise in planning the perfect wedding. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

to life! Sarah was so much fun to work with! I would recommend her to any one getting married! I would not want anyone else! Love her!
