Wholehearted Events

she did an incredible job advocating for our wants while smoothly handling many logistics to get them all in place. Hire her! You won't regret it!

ith her thoughts and expectations, which allowed us to relax and have full trust that our wedding day would go smoothly. She went above and beyond and had every piece of our decor set up exactly how we envisioned them- and we asked her to use her creative directive to help improve anything during the set up (such as our head table décor, which turned out better than I could have imagined!) I was very impressed by how neatly and carefully she packed everything up for us at the end of the night, making the clean-up stress free. Sam is a fantastic and detail-oriented wedding coordinator, but she was also a joy to work with as a person! I highly recommend Sam if you are looking for a day-of coordinator!

cking in occasionally, but really kicking it into high gear the month of. She verified all of the details with our vendors, identifying a couple of line items that needed to be changed with our florist (like, that the flowers needed to be delivered to the ceremony as well as the reception!), coordinating with our venue to get all of the liability agreements from vendors, determining the timeline of the day, and working with us to nail down logistics for decoration delivery and setup. She was great working with all of the vendor coordinators and established herself as the key point of contact. Once the ceremony started, the rest of the day was a cakewalk. Samantha made sure we were where we needed to be, when we needed to be, and also coordinated the setup of the reception venue – a task which she had only an hour and a half to setup 25 guest tables, a head table, sweetheart table, and other decorations. During the reception, we realized that there was no good bouquet to toss – Samantha quickly reworked a generic bouquet of flowers we had from the store into a smaller bouquet that was suitable to toss. She also worked with the driver of our limo to locate a cufflink that the groom had lost – the cufflink was found and safely returned in the mail. If you are getting married and are able to book Wholehearted Events, do it. Samantha was excellent in gently steering us away from risky decisions during planning and was absolutely key in pulling off our vision, removing all of the stress from us on the day of our wedding, enabling us to focus on the important thing – each other.

Sam helped us figure out so many last minute details, ran our rehearsal and handled all the coordination the day of. I felt so at ease and was able to enjoy our wedding day thanks to all of Sam’s help. Highly recommend Wholehearted Events!

that there was one person who would handle the MOUNTAIN of details. Samantha was truly the best you won’t regret it 🥰

he best experience. I felt very little stress through out the process mainly because of Samantha and the timeline she gave me and check ins we had. Because of her, I was really able to enjoy my entire wedding day and not stress. She is definitely a stand out point when I think back to the wedding. Hire her—it will be the best wedding decision you will make!!

u so much for your help Sam! You were absolutely amazing and we are so grateful for your help!

p checklist that helped keep us on track. And most importantly, she made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day so that we had nothing to do but show up and have the best day of our lives! Overall, I highly recommend Sam (wholehearted events) and am so thankful that she was there to help with our big day!

y from my daughter. Sam was organized, prompt and has a terrific eye for details. She set up our reception and worked with our reception coordinator to make sure everything was perfect when we arrived. She made sure the entire evening ran on schedule. At the end she stayed late to repackage everything up for us. She shared her ideas with us, she was easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend Samantha and Wholehearted Events for event for planning and day of coordination. Thank you, Sam!!!

e setting of MANY unexpected events! She literally drove to buy more liquor when the bar service decided to end their evening an hour ahead of schedule. She was always ready to step in and help where direction was needed, and she took a lot of initiative rather than waiting to be asked to help with something. She was absolutely fantastic, and you are absolutely missing out by not working with her!

ns to and have on hand was the best piece of mind I could have had for the day. My wedding would not have gone on without Sam!

ommend Sam!

do, the things we didn't even think about and the things we would not have had a clue how to do. As a busy bride, I was so overwhelmed with planning and had no idea where to begin. We had taken care of the more major things but were struggling with the more detailed items. Sam was so organized and laid everything out in easy-to-understand ways. She worked with us on setting a budget and stuck to it as well. She gave us ample amounts of time to accomplish everything we needed to, keeping us right on track with our big day. She was available whenever we needed her and responded quickly to questions, going above and beyond what was expected. If you think you have everything under control, you could still use her expertise and advice. If you have no idea where to begin and are wondering if a "partial" planner is worth the addition to your budget, I PROMISE you, it IS. Thank you x1000000 Samantha!!

rth SO much more than that. If you are asking yourself if you really need a coordinator (like I asked myself time and time again), the answer is YES, YOU ABSOLUTELY DO!! Our day was perfect and seamless, and my husband and I know Sam is the one to thank for that. We were both able to truly relax and enjoy the day. I don't feel like anything went wrong, even though some things did, because she was on it every time. All the nerves I thought I'd feel went unnoticed. Sam handled planning before and during the wedding, took care of all of our vendors, kept us on time, made sure we ate and drank, and SO much more. Her and her husband John felt like lifelong best friends there to support us on our big day. She goes above and beyond and clearly loves what she does. I cannot recommend her enough. Don't walk, RUN to book Sam for your wedding!!

s. Sam was quick to handle any little issue that popped up along the way and even day of to ensure that us and our family had an amazing and stress free day. We would definitely recommend Sam as a coordinator to anyone.

hing went wrong on our wedding day because Sam was always there making sure things went smoothly. I was told by many of my bridal party, family, and guest of how great of a job Sam did! I can’t not thank her enough for everything she has done for us!! This is your girl right here! 5000/10 ⭐️

ially helpful the day before and the day of the wedding to make sure everything went absolutely smooth! This was definitely a stress reliever and I am so happy we booked her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!

ith hardly any direction. She was calm, happy, and professional the whole time. You can tell she is so genuine about the process and just wanted my husband and me to know that everything was taken care of. Hiring a wedding coordinator - more specifically, hiring Sam - was the best thing we could have done to make our wedding day go so smoothly, especially since it happened in a snow storm! If you're having doubts, DON'T! Sam will provide you with everything you need, from the planning beforehand, to pick up after the celebration. I'd hire her again and again! Thank you SO much for doing what you do, Sam!
