Jackie Sent on 11/27/2022Planner and 2nd Mother all in one!
I would absolutely recommend working with Angie and her Sapphire Celebrations team! I am a Denver native, however, I currently live in Nashville. Angie was so helpful in scouting venues and vendors for us, and be our local eyes and ears for our Colorado Springs wedding. I was a bride with a lot of "ideas". She would listen to each one and help me source it for the wedding with a smile. Having her be on our team from the rehearsal dinner through the following Sunday allowed for all of us to enjoy ourselves, as she handled any and all curve balls. By the end, my family started referring to her as our second mother! Thank you again Angie, your truly helped make our wedding weekend perfect! -

Jessica Sent on 04/28/2025Highly, highly recommend!
Working with Angie and her team was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we started planning to the very last dance, she was right by my side — calm, encouraging, and so incredibly helpful every step of the way.
On the day of the wedding, Angie handled everything so seamlessly — picking up details I hadn't even thought of, coordinating with vendors, and making sure the entire day ran perfectly. As an event planner myself I kept asking "What about..." and Angie confidently reminded me she had it covered and all was handled - keeping me the Bride at all times. I always felt supported and cheered on, and I never had to worry because I knew she had it under control.
Not only is Angie an amazing planner and calming presence, but she also has a fantastic network of vendors, which made the entire process even easier. I am beyond grateful for everything Sapphire Celebrations did to help create the most incredible, stress-free day. Highly, highly recommend! -

Suzanne Sent on 01/28/2025The absolute BEST!
If I could give Angie & her team 10 stars, I would! The planning process is stressful as is, and Angie made it a point to help me break things down into manageable tasks. She was communicative, prompt & professional every step of the way.
We worked so well together, it got to the point where Angie could read me like a book. Day of, she could sense when I felt stressed or needed a moment away from everyone and would act swiftly to ensure the day was everything we dreamed it would be. I would often refer to her as a ninja because whenever I said "I need to talk to Angie" she would literally just appear!
My only sense of sadness is that I don't get to plan more events with her! My husband & I are forever grateful for the magic she created with her vendor partners (who were all A++), and we cannot recommend Sapphire Celebrations enough! We love Angie :) -

Ashley Sent on 11/17/2024Fantastic Planner!
We recently had the privilege of working with Angie Johnston for our wedding at The Broadmoor, and we can honestly say we couldn’t have done it without her. From start to finish, Angie was an absolute dream to work with.
Throughout the entire planning process, Angie was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. She made the often-stressful process of planning a wedding so much easier and more enjoyable. She provided thoughtful guidance every step of the way, helping us make decisions with confidence. What really stood out to us was how available Angie was—she was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns, and we never felt like we were on our own.
With her years of experience in the industry, Angie’s connections with top-quality vendors and The Broadmoor staff were invaluable. She has a network of professionals who truly know how to execute a beautiful event, and we could see the benefit of her relationships in every detail of our wedding.
On the day of our wedding, Angie’s organizational skills and calm presence were key in ensuring everything ran smoothly. She coordinated seamlessly with multiple teams, keeping everything on track and running efficiently. Her ability to manage every aspect of the day while keeping things stress-free for us was something we’ll never forget.
If you’re planning a wedding in Colorado, I highly recommend Angie Johnston. Her professionalism, expertise, and personal touch made our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Angie, for making our dream wedding come true! -

Kelly Sent on 10/23/2024⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond Perfection – Angie and Sapphire Celebrations Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality!
Where do I even begin?! From the moment we hired Angie, the owner of Sapphire Celebrations, we knew we were in the best hands. I had a very unique vision for our wedding at the Broadmoor – from my untraditional green dress to the luxurious, intricate details we wanted to incorporate throughout the day. Angie not only embraced our vision but elevated it beyond our wildest dreams.
Her meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were evident from the first meeting. Angie made every step of the planning process feel effortless, taking away any stress and replacing it with excitement. No idea was too grand, no detail was too small – she managed everything with the kind of expertise that only comes from years of experience.
The day of the wedding, Angie and her team were a godsend. Every moment flowed seamlessly, every detail was perfectly executed, and I was able to fully enjoy my day without a single worry. From coordinating with vendors to ensuring every luxe accent was in place, Angie handled it all with grace and poise. We truly felt like guests at our own wedding, knowing Angie had everything under control.
If you are looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, while making the entire experience magical and stress-free, look no further than Sapphire Celebrations. We would not have trusted this day to anyone else, and thanks to Angie, it was everything we dreamed of and more. She turned our ideas into a masterpiece that we will cherish forever!
Thank you, Angie, for making our day so incredibly special. 💚 -

Choosing Angie and Sapphire Celebrations was the best decision we made for our wedding. Angie is incredibly professional and easy to work with, guiding us through decisions without ever being pushy. Her extensive industry knowledge was invaluable an d eased so much of our stress (and my moms!). Thanks to Angie and her team, our wedding day was the best day ever. We are truly grateful for their exceptional service and would highly recommend. -

Marlo Sent on 03/10/2024Hiring Angie at Sapphire Celebrations was the BEST decision I made!
My wedding was absolutely perfect and magical all thanks to Angie! We could not have asked for a better wedding planner to work with than Angie at Sapphire Celebrations. She is super detailed oriented which really put my mind at ease knowing that I could relax and enjoy the process since she had a handle on everything. She made us feel like we were her only clients even though I know she's hard at work on several projects at once. You can tell that she's super passionate genuinely enjoys what she does. She's also great at wrangling family members, guests, and rowdy groomsmen in a kind yet assertive way! Cannot recommend Sapphire Celebrations enough! -

K V Sent on 11/22/2023Made Our Special Day Perfect!
Hiring Angie was the best money that we spent on our wedding. We needed a day of coordinator for our location and she was the top preferred vendor for our location. Angie was super easy and fun to work with and took so much stress away from us that I wish we hired her sooner to help plan the whole thing. She truly made the entire experience of planning and the wedding day special and we can not thank her enough for all her hard work to make our special day perfect!Sapphire Celebrations's reply:
Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day! It was so beautiful and you were a joy to work with! Wishing you all the best in life and love! -

Caitlin Sent on 07/11/2023My wedding was absolutely perfect because of Angie!
Angie Johnston with Sapphire Celebrations was the best. Handled everything. I didn’t have to stress about anything she was so on top of it. Really made the whole day go by without a hitch. And I think having her as a full planner as apposed to just day of coordination was so worth it. We planned for over a year together and I really felt like she got the vision and knew exactly what I wanted and needed! I cannot emphasize enough how she took the stress out of wedding planning. It was a truly a fun experience. I could not have had the perfect wedding day without her! -

Natalie Sent on 09/29/2022Our reception would not have happened without this team!
Angie and the Sapphire Celebrations team were incredible to work with! I found Angie 6 months before my wedding reception, and I truly wish I had hired her way before then! She helped me with everything, and talked me through so many decisions and conversations that would have been really challenging on my own. She navigated vendor relationships, found us incredible vendors within our budget, and helped keep everything organized. The day of, she made our vision into a reality, and we had the most spectacular evening. She helped with everything, from set up, to guest coordination, to keeping us on our timeline, and clean up. Angie is a wonderful woman, and my wedding would not have been what it was without her help! I will recommend Angie and Sapphire Celebrations to anyone that asks. They are amazing at what they do, they are all so kind, and they know how to make you feel so special on your big day! -

Angie is truly incredible. She was there for us for every second of the day and kept us calm and organized. During the planning process I was able to control the parts I wanted, ask questions where I needed support, and hand it over to her when I was ready! Cannot recommend this team enough. -

Angie and her team at Sapphire Celebrations were wonderful! They are very reasonably priced for the amazing job they do. My husband and I were very impressed with how well they handled the month prior, and day of, details of our wedding. They were truly life savers and reduced my stress greatly. They handled anything that came up that we didn't know how to handle. I would highly recommend Sapphire Celebrations.Sapphire Celebrations's reply:
Thank you so much trusting our team on your wedding day! It was our honor to be able to make all your carefully planned details come to life! -

Jessica Sent on 10/30/2021I knew I was in great hands
As someone who is very controlling, I was worried about giving in and letting someone else manage all the details of my wedding day. But, let me just say, I am SO glad I had Angie by my side throughout the entire process. From vender recommendations to handling all the nitty gritty details/contracts, she helped us navigate all corners of the planning spectrum with ease. She also helped ensure that my vision came life, even though I have a very opinionated and stubborn mother.
Truly cannot recommend her enough - if you are looking for an energetic, organized and knowledgeable planner, look no further! Angie is the best of the best, and I cannot thank her enough for the role she played making our wedding perfect! 💜 -

Megan Sent on 07/11/2019Angie is amazing!
Having Angie as our day-of coordinator was absolutely incredible. After our initial meeting with her a few months before the wedding, my now husband said "I feel better already." She was responsive to all of our asks and make sure that everything went smoothly from the time we hired her to the moment the wedding ended. Her kindness and attention to detail helped keep us calm through the end of the planning process and ultimately helped make our wedding day amazing. Angie is the best, and I truly don't know what we would have done without her. -
Shelly Sent on 02/24/2018Hiring Angie from Sapphire Celebrations was one of the best decisions I made! I was doing all the planning myself and 2 weeks before the wedding, I decided it would be so helpful to have a "day-of" coordinator that can be in charge of the day and help with last minute details. I am so happy I did this! Angie stepped right in and started taking care of everything. It was like she had been a part of it the whole time. And honestly, I wish I would have hired her way sooner. She was so knowledgable and made everything so easy. She did a great job with communication and was just a really fun and awesome person to work with. The actual wedding day went so smoothly and it was all because of her! My parents actually got to enjoy the wedding instead of having to worry about set up and clean up and a timeline and getting tips to vendors. Angie took care of everything and was such a blessing to have! I would 100% recommend Sapphire Celebrations to anyone who is wanting a wedding planner. So stop looking and go book them now!

User369567 Sent on 07/03/2010I was not someone who had spent anytime prior to getting engaged, thinking about my wedding. I had no idea what needed to be done or where to start. The best decision I made was hiring Angie as my wedding planner. While the wedding process can never be completely without stress, Angie made life easier and helped me find vendors that provided the best service at the best price. Angie always provided a good variety of vendors who could meet with us on our time schedule. As a result we had the perfect wedding, my mom got to be involved with out being overwhelmed, and both of our parents got got relax and enjoy! -

I hired Sapphire for wedding month-of and day-of coordination. The team gave us the level of care that exceeded our expectations, particularly in working with the venue, vendors, and other surprises that came along the way. I was grateful to have an expert at the helm with the planning team, and relied on them heavily with questions and suggestions, to which they were very attentive. They were especially supportive and went outside of their “normal” level of service when we had an issue even if it wasn’t their responsibility. I appreciated the truly human nature of each person I interacted with and I never felt like a number. Thank you so much for helping us make our day truly magical and special. We will never forget it! -

Highly recommend Sapphire Celebrations
We had the greatest time, everything felt perfect and looked beautiful. Angie did a fabulous job helping us put together our dream wedding. We are so appreciate of Angie and her team as they provided guidance recommending vendors while planning an out of state wedding. During our weekend, they kept everything moving along seamlessly while also creating magic in the small details… -

Tamara Sent on 03/01/2022Partial focus
To be successful at planning a wedding (or any type of important event), one must give 100% focus to make it successful, be proactive in communicating with the client, and pay attention to every single detail. A wedding is made up of a few big things (food, venue, attendees, etc), and 1000 little things. Sapphire gave our wedding approximately 82% focus, which showed in all the little details.
We entrusted Sapphire Events, and the primary planner Angie, with one of the most important days of our lives. She was warm and confidence-inspiring during our virtual and live meetings, then brusque in emails. Planning a Kosher wedding, in Denver, during the tail end of a pandemic presents challenges of its own, and we were impressed with how she got quickly and fully up to speed and coordinated with the local Vaad, the caterer, and the synagogue. She helped organize and finalize details for our Friday night and rehearsal dinners, and there were many times we said (or thought) “so glad we have Angie taking care of this.” She really shines in providing guidance with turning a vision into reality with decor and linen rentals.
Communication with Angie was great at times and infrequent/terse at other times. We were able to get comfortable after we set up weekly Zoom calls.
When it came down to the last few weeks - the lack of attention to details began to show. For example, we had planned to have 10-person tables, which dictated our seating chart, floral arrangements, linen rentals, and layout. A week before the event, we found out the tables only sat 6-8, so everything had to be changed. Another example is that we had cards on the tables for people to share suggestions for a happy marriage. The pens that we bought weren’t placed on the tables. Desserts were supposed to be served to the elderly guests from the dessert bar, but never were. A plate of food was supposed to be brought out to the bride and groom and a few members of the wedding party at a small Tish/Bedekken/ “first look” a few hours prior to the ceremony. This was never brought out, and the caterer later indicated that Angie told them not to worry about it. Part of our floral decor was supposed to be left at the venue, and the bouquets loaded into SUVs; Angie had no recollection of these instructions and we had to follow up directly with the florist to get our purchased items back.
These are just a few examples of how the details of our special day weren’t handled with the care or attention needed and expected from a professional wedding planner. It’s been over a week since our wedding. There’s been no email or phone call checking in, or asking for feedback on the experience. We considered the 5 months of wedding planning a very personal experience where we shared our lives with an unrelated person. To have zero follow-up on the experience is probably the saddest and most disappointing part.Sapphire Celebrations's reply:
I wanted to respond to complaints and allegations you have made about Sapphire Celebrations in emails to others and your three business reviews.
While I know in hindsight you see some shortcomings in the service provided to you, I know Sapphire Celebrations fulfilled our contract with your mother. This is based on comments from both of you, your family and guests leading up to and on the wedding day.
Planning a wedding from start to finish in under 6 months takes clear and consistent communication. This was provided to you through an online planning portal, in person meetings, countless phone calls and text messages to relieve your concerns, weekly video planning calls, and too many emails with you both and your vendors to count. I made myself available to both of you, your mother and vendors whenever and however possible.
Regarding the catering on the wedding day there are some missing details in your allegations. The timing was confirmed regarding the food for the Tish with the catering staff. My team and I requested it several times while Brett and the gentlemen enjoyed their celebration. However, it was not delivered until after the group had moved on to the Bedeken. During the unveiling ceremony and ketubah signing there is no food, nor was there a table appropriate for displaying it during the ceremony.
When desserts and cake were displayed, I personally delivered cake to the entire head table. I then mentioned to your guests in their seats that the sweets were available. Additionally, I delivered Mr Coffee a cup of hot chocolate to enjoy. I asked the other guests at his and surrounding tables if I could get them anything to which they declined my offer.
At the end of the night I loaded as many floral pieces that would fit in the rented SUV with your four family members and their belongings. Putting more in the car would not have been safe for the driver or comfortable for your family. There was a miscommunication regarding the ceremony trees, however, they have now been delivered to your home by the florist.
I spoke with the livestream vendor directly regarding the unfortunate technology glitch impacting the recording of your ceremony. They went above and beyond to resolve the issue that was uncontrollable. Within 2 hours of you bringing me into the email conversation with the vendor informing you about situation, your response had become explicit and threatening. As per our contract, this behavior is not appropriate and breaches our contract. Inserting ourselves in the conversation once it got to that level would not have been productive.
The recommendation to set no more than 8 guests at a table was in honor of you planning the reception with a COVID conscious mindset. Seating was not finalized at this time and you continued to change it up to the week of the wedding. I worked with the florist to reuse pieces and make the additional tables as little of a financial impact as possible.
The special pens for the cards were set out on tables, however, only 6 were provided for the 11 tables at the reception. When this was brought to my attention during the reception, I provided the other tables with pens from our emergency kit.
I stand behind the service Sapphire Celebrations provided you throughout your planning and on the wedding day. We navigated questions and issues as they arose and ensured that all of your details and guests were well taken care of.
I wish you a lifetime together filled with clear communication, patience, support and love.
