Samantha was FABULOUS! She is organized and personable. I felt that no detail was over-looked with her on-board. She is more than a wedding planner. It is obvious that she loves her job and it shows in the results. I would hire her again and again and again!!!

Samantha was a life saver! She was able to book all of my appointments around my crazy schedule, and she also gave me ideas on where to get things cheaper so I could stay near my budget. On the day of my wedding, everything seemed to go smoothly. If something happened, I didn't know about it, and that's how I wanted it. I was totally stress-free.

I found Samantha Jackson on the internet. I'm from Chicago and knew that I couldn't plan a destination wedding in Florida without some local help. I knew Samantha was the right one for me when I sent out inquiries well after 10pm and I had an initial response within 10 minutes! Unlike some other planners that I researched, Samantha didn't charge me by minute or by email...she was there for me no matter what time of day and for however long I needed her. We often had 2 hour phone conversations about the wedding planning and we eventually grew to be alittle more than just a client/planner type of relationship. I consider Samantha a friend as well. She never made me feel rushed or out of the loop or like my opinion didn't matter. She handled everything very professionally and promptly.
Samantha helped me navigate thru EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of the wedding planning. I literally only had to take care of myself. Samantha and her staff arranged for EVERYTHING to be handled...ceremony rentals, officiant arrival time, guitarist arrival time, dj set up and services, receiption site location, ceremony & reception decorations, floral arrangements and shuttle services to the ceremony, etc. You name it and she covered it. I've witnessed my girlfriend's wedding days and how stressful it can be for some brides. They obviously didn't hire Samantha. I was as relaxed as relaxed could be. So much so, that the day of the wedding I went parasailing and out to lunch with my girlfriends and wedding party.
The vendors and site locations were outstanding. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The folks at the Culinary Center were fabulous. Mary Beth and Tim Creehan are amazing. The food was absolutely fabulous. Our guests raved about how our wedding was one of the only weddings they'd remembered having great food! East Hill Photography with Rick Schamberger was incredible. Rick is such a talented artist, his showroom of portraits speak for themselves. I'm waiting for the day when his pictures blast the cover of Vogue magazine! And Samantha and her staff were so accommodating and easy to work with.
Should anyone be looking for a great wedding planner to keep your vision, find the best venues and vendors for your "big day", I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Samantha Jackson as your wedding planner. She did a fantastic job from the day I hired her to post wedding. I'm going to ask her to plan my 5th year anniversary party! :-)
Samantha you rock. Our day wouldn't have been as successful without you and your team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful! It went off without a hitch! Initially, everyone was completely taken aback by the very rigorous events timelines that our wedding planner, Samantha Jackson, provided. It included EVERYONE who had ANYTHING to do with our wedding. The day before and the day of proved the timeline to be a perfect idea...it was as smooth as smooth can be. No one had questions as everything had already be outlined. According to Samantha, our wedding was her largest. However, one would never have known this considering the professionalism, attitude and seamless work she put into helping to make our day so very special. Our wedding was spot-on in terms of timeliness and ensuring that everything and everyone was in the proper place. When we walked into the reception hall, we were simply awed by how beautiful it was--it was simply beyond what we had even envisioned. Samantha Jackson certainly went beyond and above the call of duty.

I selected Samantha from an internet search engine mere months before the big day when as I planned my destination wedding it became increasingly apparent that planning a wedding from Texas was not going to happen on my time schedule. I've never been the type to dream about what my wedding would be like and Samantha helped me navigate through each detail. Samantha is extremely conscientious with a natural focus on detail that makes her very good at her job. The day of the ceremony, with the hard work of Samantha and her assistants, things went very smoothly. I felt like my only job was to enjoy myself. I highly recommend Samantha Jackson weddings especially to those less-organized brides (like I was ;-) who want a smooth, well-planned, destination wedding. **Please note that I rated the value 4 stars as Samantha was well within normal/industry standard for cost (I shopped around and looked at 2 other planners one that was exactly the same another that was more expensive) I felt that even standard pricing for a destin destination wedding was not a gteat value for many of the wedding services*

Samantha was an excellent wedding planner she helped me save so much money and helped me plan the perfect wedding. Whenever I had a question, she always got back to be quickly and helped to keep me on top of the endless details involved in planning a wedding. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that everything moved smoothly. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that the wedding was a perfect.
