  Samantha Little- Excellent Wedding Planner

  I am very grateful to have had Samantha as a wedding planner for my daughter’s destination wedding in Vermont. Because of her calm, focused presence I was able to enjoy my daughter’s beautiful wedding. Samantha, with her lovely, calm manner, was there in the background making sure the wedding ran smoothly, safely and as the bride and groom wished. Throughout the process, Samantha provided clear direction and sensible suggestions and solutions. She made sure my daughter’s wishes were at the forefront by scheduling a conference call with her and having her complete a purposeful questionnaire. From this, Samantha was able to help develop and guide the “day of” time line. She easily found solutions to issues such as finding a great spot for the wedding rehearsal with easy access for all. Because we had a family member as officiant it was so very helpful to have Samantha present as she herself is an Officiant. She made sure all the paperwork was as it should be and returned to city hall. She worked so well with all the vendors, checking in with them in the weeks ahead to make sure they were all set. For the rehearsal and for the entire wedding day/night Samantha was 100% available and on task. She was incredibly helpful in offering to bring our wedding accessories to the venue. She made sure all the wedding items were set up beautifully and then at the end of the night she made sure all of the items were neatly packed away for us to take home. She was present early the day of the wedding and was probably one of the last to leave at the end of the night. During the ceremony and reception, Samantha was attentive to all details and knew what to be mindful of and when. She was there, quietly in the background, making sure everything unfolded beautifully. For this especially, I am very grateful to Samantha. I most definitely recommend Samantha as a Wedding Planner. She is highly effective, professional, knowledgeable, a lovely person and a pleasure to work with.

  River wedding

  Sam was so personal, so attentive to the tiny details that were important to me. She made sure that my picture perfect wedding was possible. She made sure that the weight of the wedding was not on me. She was definitely the best!

  Hiring Samantha was the best thing I've ever done

  If you are looking for a perfect wedding planner who will work tirelessly to get you what you're wanting, look no further. We started with a vague idea of what we wanted and Samantha went above and beyond our wildest expectations to make that vision come to life. Even though we were over 800 miles apart, I never felt like she wasn't available.
  From start to finish she was there making sure every detail was covered, including things I never would have thought of.
  Our day wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for her.
  Samantha is personable, punctual and a joy to be around.
  I will forever be thankful to her for making our day perfect and going the extra mile.

  Flexible, hard working, attentive coordinator!

  My husband and I were initially a bit unsure about using Samantha’s services because we’d read mixed reviews. After speaking with Samantha as well as some of her previous clients, we decided to move forward in securing her services as a day of coordinator. I’m so glad we did because we had a great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!
  
  If you are looking for someone to go the extra mile, be flexible, pull up her sleeves and literally do the heavy lifting, don’t hesitate to use Samantha! As a bonus, her services are an incredible value compared to the cost of other coordinators. From our very first planning call about a month before the wedding, to the wee hours of our wedding night Samatha was super helpful at every step. Right away, after hearing that we didn’t have anything to line our outdoor aisle, she offered to bring shepherds hooks and candles for our outdoor ceremony. Leading up to the event, she contacted our multitude of vendors to make sure they were all set and had all relevant details. Two days before the wedding, we’d planned to do our ceremony rehearsal with Samantha but because the caterer walk through went over, we ran out of time. She graciously offered to come back onsite again the next day to do the rehearsal. The day of the wedding, she was there all day long, setting up tables, chairs, and tons of decor, helping us bring our DIY wedding vision to life. Samantha even set aside a plate of desserts so we could eat them the next day - that was literally one of the highlights of the weekend for me because I didn’t get to enjoy any of my carefully selected desserts on my wedding night! There are several other examples I could give but I’m sure there are many others I am not even aware of because Samantha was always behind the scenes that day, making sure things went smoothly. She will undoubtedly make your special day the best it can be!

  Samantha was our day-of coordinator and she was incredible! She was very accessible from the day we booked her up to the wedding; she met with us to talk over our plans and see the ceremony and reception sites; and she came in totally unbiased and ready to make our wedding day into exactly what we wanted. That last is rare- most of our vendors pushed their personal preferences, but Samantha was all about what we wanted. She was there for the rehearsal and all day (I mean ALL day) on the wedding day and she did everything from setup to breakdown while we enjoyed the day with our family and friends. We would not have been able to do that without her! The following are the things that really stuck in my mind, but she did so much more than this!!
  
  She suggested an excellent DJ and got us a discount.
  
  She set up our entire reception area. I was hesitant about handing off the final steps to someone else after doing all the DIY projects myself, but when we walked into the reception area it was exactly what we had hoped for!
  
  She kept our candy bar refilled all night.
  
  She arranged our doughnut table once our doughnuts ("cake") was delivered.
  
  She handled a literal fire/theater lighting explosion while setting up.
  
  She made sure we got food during the reception and left a goody bag for us back at our hotel room.
  
  She got most of our guests to sign our guestbook quilt squares at the end of the reception, when we realized I had forgotten the sign and our guests hadn't figured out what to do (this was SO meaningful to us when we returned from our honeymoon and found dozens of notes and sketches- we thought no one had signed them!).
  
  She drove my great-aunt back to her hotel when my great-aunt decided it was time to go right in between our scheduled shuttle bus trips.
  
  She would have paid all of our vendors, had I remembered to bring their checks, and instead she left me a detailed note letting me know what was settled and what needed to be addressed.

  We used Samantha Little for our day-of coordination. Prior to the
  wedding day, Samantha met with us three times and we communicated
  regularly by email. She was always very professional, knowledgeable,
  and timely in handling all aspects of our wedding. On the wedding day
  itself, Samantha coordinated everything and it turned out perfect. We
  did not have to worry about any decisions to be made, problems to be
  fixed, or bills to be paid. We were going to try and have a
  completely DIY wedding, but now that it's over and I know what a big
  undertaking it was, I would highly recommend using Samantha for her
  services.

  Samantha Little Weddings and Events was our savior! In less than a year we had to plan a wedding, move 3,000 miles away, buy our first home, welcome our daughter into the world and prepare for our 5 yr to start kindergarten. Samantha knew right away what our vision was for our dream wedding. We have yet to meet anyone who was/is as dedicated to their work as Samantha! She met me at my dress fitting. After trying on a few dresses she came to me and asked me to try on a dress even though it wasn't quite what I had in mind. I fell in LOVE with the dress! When we had trouble with bridesmaids dresses she came to the rescue quickly with a solution! She was very helpful with all the decisions my husband had to make regarding the gentleman. She was VERY patient with my husband and I having NO experience in planning such an important event. She helped us find the perfect save the dates and wedding invitations and assembled each one with TLC and mailed them out! She spent endless hours on the phone and exchanging emails with vendors thousands of miles away piecing together our dream destination wedding. We were completely confident with Samantha making very important decisions on our behalf seeing how we were VERY busy with our new home, baby girl and 5 yr old son. She NEVER disappointed us! Whether it be with flowers, linen colors, seating arrangements etc. During our wedding I found myself over whelmed. She was on the floor changing my shoes and helping me out of my dress. Always making sure that both my husband and I were well taken care of. When the other vendors failed to do their part she picked up their slack without question! She did her job to the ultimate extent that my husband and I never noticed the mishaps with the other vendors and held up the utmost professionalism. Now months later Samantha is still involved in wrapping up our loose wedding ends. We highly recommend Samantha Little Weddings and Events!!

  My fiancé and I decided to have our wedding in South Burlington, Vermont this past July 21st 2012. Not being from that city was a big challenge for us as we needed to work with people we could really trust. Samantha Little over exceeded our expectations with her professionalism and went above and beyond her responsibilities to make sure the wedding ran as smoothly as possible. Despite her busy schedule, she was always available to answer questions and reassure us when we needed it the most. I strongly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the city of South Burlington or anywhere else for that matter and can guarantee that you will not regret your decision. I know I have said this already but thanks again for everything Samantha and I wish you nothing but more success in your future endeavors!!!!!!

  Samantha was amazing! I could never have had such a good time at the ceremony/reception without knowing she was there taking care of everything behind the scenes. She is the consummate professional, supremely organized, yet able to command attention when needed in a quietly effective way. I worried when hiring a wedding coordinator that the person might be too overbearing. Samantha is not like that in the least: she will not take over your wedding; it's not about her. It's about you and your family, and her attention to detail helps make it the most special day possible. Two other big plusses she arranges flowers and her rates are realistic!

  We were had our wedding at my aunt and uncles house. They had previously let friends use their property for a wedding and they did not have a wedding planner. A few hours before the wedding the chairs and table clothes were still on the tables the tent company had dropped off and nothing in the tent had been set up. My aunt and uncle had to set up the entire thing themselves, and missed the ceremony to do so. When they agreed to let us have our wedding at their home, their 1st request was that we had to hire a wedding planner for at least the day of coordination. I hired Samantha for the day of coordination. She was way beyond just the "day of" wedding planner. Being from MA and having our wedding in VT we were not familiar with many vendors. Samantha was able to find vendors when we were lost. We were having a cocktail party style wedding so bartenders were very important to us. She found AMAZING bartenders that made our wedding flow great! We were also able to leverage her relationships with other vendors to use her discounts. Our photobooth was a huge hit and our book of all our guests in the booth is one of our favorite keepsakes from the wedding! The day of the wedding went smooth and the little things that went wrong, I was unaware of that day because Samantha took care of it. She was a huge to help us and well worth her cost! Myself, my husband, Aunt and Uncle and our parents were all so thankful for Samantha's hard work and connections!

  I first met Samantha at a friend's wedding the year before mine. When I started planning my wedding my friend highly recommended Samantha's day of wedding coorination service. I can tell you that having Samantha at our wedding made the day so much more relaxing and stress free. Samantha did everything from hand pew bows, to make sure the DJ played the correct songs, held on to my extra contacts, and kept an eye on my elderly grandparents.
  
  What you should also know is that Samantha is extremely professional and is excellent at her job. She is punctual, thooughtful, and knows how to make a wedding run smoothly. I can't tell you enough how helpful it was having her at our wedding, and she even travelled two hours outside of the Burlington, VT area where she is based out of! It was worth the money and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I'm grateful to have had her be part of our special day.

  Samantha completely made my wedding day. She was on top of everything, and made sure our day went exactly the way we wanted it to. She was a huge comfort to me, and I was able to spend the whole day not worrying about anything except having a good time!

  Early on as I planned my Vermont wedding from my home in Virginia, my
  maid of honor suggested we hire a Day Of Coordinator. I am very
  pleased we were able to hire Samantha Little for this job. Samantha
  brings experience, professionalism, and interpersonal warmth to the
  job. As part of our package, we met with Samantha several months
  before the wedding for consultation; she helped us imagine what the
  actual day would be like and how she could help facilitate the vision
  we had-- logistically and aesthetically. On the day before the
  wedding, prior to the rehearsal that she directed for us, we met with
  Samantha again. In this meeting we provided her with more detailed
  plans for the wedding day that involved complex coordination between
  ad hoc vendors. We felt completely confident in Samantha's ability to
  put our plans to action and she did. On the wedding day, Samantha
  directed and coordinated with gentle authority, helping everyone
  understand their places, timing, and roles. Our off-beat outdoor
  wedding and reception went off without a hitch. Thank you Samantha!

  Samantha Little was my wedding coordinator for my wedding event on August 9, 2008. I was nervous about making the big day as fun and special for my family and friends, but also as stress-free as possible for me and my future husband. After the wedding and reception were over, we knew that choosing to have Samantha as our coordinator was the best decision and investment we could have made.
  
  Samantha was an organized and detail-oriented person. She was prompt and professional for our pre-wedding meetings and always willing to take on additional tasks. She ensured that our rehearsal ran smoothly and efficiently. She managed a crew of more than ten service staff hired to provide the various services at our reception, from the waitstaff and chefs to the lifeguard and babysitters. With the help of this team, she prepared our lakeside reception site for our guests. She even handled the negotiations with the DJs for an extra hour of play time for a reduced fee.
  
  I know that our wedding day would not have been stress-free without Samantha’s services. From assembling the flower girl baskets to ensuring the lighting in the tent was appropriate at all times, she kept the entire day flowing smoothly and was attentive to every detail. I highly recommend her wedding coordinator services to you.

  Would 100% recommend

  Samantha is an excellent day of coordinator. Our wedding day was heavily DIYed with lots of moving pieces and "friendors" and Samantha was integral in pulling the event off. She is easy to get along with, super experienced, accommodating, and professional.
  
  Before we hired her we had been unable to find a sound-technician to handle audio for the ceremony and reception and we were getting really worried. After joining our team she promptly found an excellent sound tech who turned out to be wonderful, and she handled all the booking and coordination completely so we didn't have to lift a finger.
  
  We're so so glad we found her and were able to bring her onto our team after having to postpone and re-plan our wedding and losing our original coordinator to scheduling troubles in the process. Samantha was all in, starting really early and staying really late. She did a great job!

  Just one word.. Awesome!

  We hired Samanatha Little for day of coordination. It ultimately was the best decision that we could have ever made for our wedding. She was the ultimate professional and visionary. She took everything I had ever pictured or wanted and turned our wedding into a beautiful, breathtaking event. She came early to set up the entire (185 person event), every place setting, escort table, wedding arbor, you name it - she did it. And then stayed late to break down everything, so clean up the next day was a breeze. She put valuables away and stayed organized throughout the entire weekend.
  
  She worked well with everyone; families, wedding party, and vendors. She was so accommodating and quickly put out little fires. She did things I didn’t think about or even knew would be essential like, cleaning my engagement ring, handing out beers after the ceremony to the groomsmen, and making sure I was had a wine in hand.
  
  Everything, and I mean everything, was beyond perfect due to Samantha’s experience and expertise. I can honestly say without a doubt that our wedding wouldn’t have been so perfect or the same without Samantha Little.

  I am so very pleased with the service that Samantha provided the day of our wedding. It really meant a lot to me to have someone that I trusted taking care of everything so that I could take a breath and enjoy the day. Our outdoor VT wedding in the fall was rainy and cold, but Samantha knew to have the heaters running early to help dry out the space under the tent (especially by the bar!!) and have it nice and cozy for when the guests arrived. She worked with the caterers, florist and DJ and set-up EVERYTHING while I sipped mimosas with the bridesmaids. I felt a little spoiled, but completely trusting of whatever decisions she would have to make. She was on-hand, quick and decisive throughout the night... took care of my broken bustle and sleeping nephew/ring bearer in the family room. She cleaned up after the reception making pick-up the next day seamless and actually pretty effortless. I was most thankful for that. It was a long day for her, but she was professional and so sweet.

  When Sam first started in 2010, she was the perfect sounding board for all of my wedding day concerns and worries. We hired her for day-of coordination, and I would have been a lot crazier without her!

  Ghosted us and stole our deposit

  If you value your time, money, and sanity, please DO NOT hire Samantha. We should have looked back at her reviews here because this has happened to at least 2 other couples.
  We hired Samantha for planning/day-of coordination services around 1 year before our date. After sending the deposit ($500), we had 1 call with her to discuss planning details. We followed up by email a 2 months later after not hearing anything from her to see if she had made any progress, but she brushed us off. Then around 6 months from our date she completely ghosted us.
  We waited a few weeks before asking for another follow-up and there was no response. After over a month of no email response after repeated attempts we tried texting/calling and nothing. We asked her to please just let us know if she was cancelling because we would need to find another planner ASAP and still nothing. Thinking maybe she died or was in a coma, we tracked her down on Instagram and even LinkedIn and saw she was still posting like normal, she was just completely ignoring us.
  I don't know what would cause someone to so blatantly steal and take advantage of other people, but I do know that if you choose Samantha, then you're risking becoming her next target.

  Do not hire! - stole our deposit and completely ghosted us

  Long story short - we paid Samantha a deposit for planning/day of coordination and she did not provide any services and completely ghosted us.
  My husband and I decided about halfway through our planning process that we could really use the help of a wedding planner to take away some of the stress. We found Samantha and spoke to her over the phone before hiring her and paying the deposit of a couple hundred dollars. Shortly after we met with her in person to discuss what still needed to be done and thought we had a plan. 6 months out from our wedding we emailed Samantha to see if she had made progress on the things we had discussed. We only had 6 months to go so it felt like we had to get moving. Samantha had not done anything we previously discussed yet. It took weeks and multiple messages to get a response from her and we only received one more email before she stopped responding completely. We gave her multiple chances to respond or at the very least tell us she could no longer provide her services but nothing. We never heard from here again. I do not understand how someone can run a business where they steal people's deposits and never provide services. Looking back at reviews it looks like she has done this to others. Do not hire!

  I'm not sure what happened, but I booked Samantha to be my day of coordinator months (almost a year) before my wedding date. After we booked and made the deposit, she completely disappeared. Vanished. She didn't respond to emails. She didn't call me back after I left multiple voice messages. She didn't respond to text messages... We ended up terminating the contract with her before our wedding date because she just wasn't there... and even after I left her a message, and sent her a note in writing, telling her we were not comfortable moving forward with her services - NOTHING.
  
  I heard from her only a handful of times (to collect vendor information and she did answer one of my phone calls) so I do know the contact information I had was correct but... it was very bizarre. It's a shame. And please believe me - I am in no way, shape, or form a bride-zilla. I had 3 pre-wedding questions for her: 1. To propose a porta-potty vendor; 2. If she was available to meet in person and 3. To send a proposed agenda for the day-of. That's it. The purpose of hiring a coordinator is to help relieve anxiety - not create more.
  
  Buyer be ware - the whole process felt, and still feels, like a scam.

  I was incredibly disappointed with the service provided by Samantha. I decided to spend the $ on a day of services so I wouldn't have to worry about the little things getting taken care of or put the burden on a family member/guest. All of my other vendors were fantastic, but Samantha was a major cause for stress. She disappeared the month of my wedding and didn't do any of the pre-work promised in our contract. I had vendors reaching out to me the week of my wedding saying they hadn't heard from her regarding a day of timeline and were unsure of how to staff appropriately etc. I was truly concerned that something had happened to her when I couldn't get in touch with her. She finally responded to an email the three days out and didn't even provide a reason as to where she had been. She spent more time on her phone and flirting with the DJ than doing anything day of. I've recommended every other vendor and service provider we used, but would never feel comfortable referring Samantha Little Weddings & Events. She even promised to reimburse me for part of her fee, but I've yet to get a refund and my wedding was in June. Unprofessional, unaccountable, & unreliable sums up the experience. Buyer beware.
