Fantastic experience!

My husband and I got married in Sonoma in August 2023, which was a destination wedding for both myself and my husband. We hired Sandy to help with planning/coordination 3 months prior. She helped us organize the wedding in ways we could never have done ourselves. She was incredible to work with and the wedding was perfect and magical just as I dreamed of because of her ! I knew I didn't have to worry about the wedding because I trusted Sandy completely. She was punctual, thoughtful, patient, and coordinated all the vendors professionally. Moreover- she also had to deal with both moms which she did with incredible finesse! I knew Sandy was amazing from our first conversation because she has an incredible ability to anticipate our needs at every step of the planning process. If I could hire Sandy to organize my life - I would! We recommend wholeheartedly! If we got married again, we would hire Sandy again and probably for more of the events!

Best Wedding Coordinator

Sandy was our day of wedding coordinator. She helped us to have our dream wedding. She's professional and very responsive. She helped me with all the questions I had leading to the wedding. Although she is only my day of coordinator, we started working together months prior. She came to the venue walkthrough and rehearsal and helped with the timeline. She made sure that I wouldn't worry anything on my wedding day and reminded me of everything I had to prepare. She helped bring my wedding vision to life. I would highly recommend Sandy :)

Best Wedding Planner and Day of Coordinator!

Sandy was our wedding planner and day of coordinator and a true godsend. I can't even begin to fathom what planning a wedding would have been like without her. She's calm, confident, level headed, and extremely organized. We worked with Sandy for months planning our wedding - she ensured we stayed on track, had access to the very best vendors, and ironed out all day-of details well in advance of the date. We had a few hiccups the morning of our wedding and Sandy handled everything seamlessly - I never once had to get involved. Sandy consistently went above and beyond for us - she brought our entire vision to life and I will forever be so grateful for her. Do yourself a favor and hire Sandy, she was the BEST money we spent across the entire wedding.

Since I can remember I have enjoyed making lists, plan events and bring people together while always having a glass of champagne available for the extra sparkle.

I look at all of the details, find gaps to fill and create a complete experience for you. It's simple and straight forward, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride.

When I'm not planning events, you can find me traveling with my family, out on hikes in Lake Tahoe, at the gym or reading a book with a glass of bubbly. Oh yeah, and on Monday nights I watch anything Bachelore/ette related.

Let me know when you are ready to watch a show with me or talk wedding details. I bring a lot of experience with me, 15 years and counting.

Chat soon,

Sandy
