Worth it!!

My husband and I had no idea just how helpful a day of coordinator would be. Spend a little extra money to help take the stress off of yourself and your spouse on your big day. Meeting Natalie at our initial meeting, we knew she was professional and she gave us so much useful information! Closer to our wedding day, we could only have a meeting via phone call to discuss our details and the flow of how the wedding day should go and she still kept this professionalism that's admirable. I loved working closely with Natalie during our process. The day of, we had Caroline as our coordinator and she's delightful as well! She kept us on our timeline and was extremely easygoing and took off so much stress on our wedding day. If you're thinking of hiring day of services, do it! I can tell you from experience that it was probably the best decision we made and worth the expense! I should also note the pricing is reasonable and not something that will break the bank. Leave some room in your budget for this. You'll look back and be extremely grateful!

Best decision we made!

We utilized Country Sugar’s full-service planning for our December ‘19 wedding. Simply put, Natalie and the Country Sugar team gave us a wedding day that far exceeded anything we could dream up.

From the get-go Natalie clearly understood our vision and was able to involve all the right people, and make all the right suggestions, to bring it to life. She was incredibly reliable, responsive, enthusiastic, and decisive when we needed her to be. We ended up trusting her opinions implicitly. At the same time, she made the planning process feel very collaborative and let us be as involved as we wished. There were plenty of tears seeing the reception space, with all the thoughtful details she included. It felt personalized and reflected us as a couple so well.

The day-of could not have been more perfect. Knowing she was running the show, we felt stress free and were able to soak up every moment. She made sure we were where we needed to be, when we were supposed to be there. We didn’t have to think about any logistics! Everyone from our wedding party to our guests kept commenting on how easy and streamlined the whole day felt. That was all down to Natalie.

We cannot thank Country Sugar enough for giving us our dream wedding, and making the best day of our lives possible. We highly, highly recommend their services (in any capacity) for your big day. We couldn’t wait to write this review!! !

Natalie is absolutely incredible. We utilized her day-of coordination services via Queen of Harts. My husband and I said so many times throughout working with her and after the wedding that she was worth absolutely every penny. We were enchanted by her during our initial phone conversation, and I was blown away by her again and again during the process. I would describe myself as ultra-organized, but Natalie tracked down multiple things I hadn't thought of and helped troubleshoot them all! She manages to be kind and lovely while also keeping everyone in line and in tip top shape which is the ultimate trifecta!

Country Sugar & Queen of Harts went over the top to ensure that our vision came to life. They did a wonderful job of getting down to all the fine details and making some (perfect) executive decisions to ensure that everything worked out well. Overall, our day turned out to be way more than I could have imagined. The day of was essentially stress free because Natalie had everything under control and the officiant, Matt, couldn’t have done a better job at our ceremony. Typically after the wedding the bride and groom spend time together further celebrating but honestly for the rest of the night we raved about how perfect everything turned out. I could go on and on but ultimately I will always recommend Country Sugar and Queen of Harts to anyone that is looking for coordination and planning.

My fiancé and I were planning our SA wedding from the East Coast, and to say we were overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin would be an understatement. Natalie listened to our vision, respected our budget, and recommended vendors she trusted to help us narrow down our options. Given the strong relationships she has with vendors, we were able to get better deals than we otherwise would have been able to. I honestly think the difference in what we saved (not to mention the time and stress) more than paid for Natalie's fee. Leading up to the wedding, she totally took over and managed all of the logistics. Not only did Natalie handle all of the details, she was a great sounding board as I debated decor ideas and whether certain additions were worth it. On the day of the wedding I knew Natalie would make sure everything went smoothly and ensure our vision truly came to life. There were some bumps in the road (freezing temperatures in Texas and a broken earring, for example), but Natalie had a plan for it all. She kept us focused and on time, allowing us to truly just take in the day and enjoy every moment. I still can't get over how perfect the day was, and I can't thank Natalie enough for the crucial role she played. I will definitely be recommending her to all of my SA friends.

This was the second wedding that we had the opportunity to work with Natalie and her team. She was the wedding planner for our son's wedding 3 years ago. Our daughter and her fiancee both were living out of state so we felt that we were definitely going to need a coordinator to guide us through the process. We decided on a more extensive package than we had used with our son's wedding. We all felt like it was definitely worth it!! She helped us choose vendors and make decisions that ended up saving us money. I feel like the savings basically paid for her fee. A bride has no idea how quickly the night goes by. You must have a timeline and someone to keep you on track. We were able to enjoy the evening and not think about logistics. it's important to have someone that is calm and able to problem solve. There will be glitches! Natalie is very creative and has a great eye for design. That's coming from a mom who is somewhat OCD about that kind of stuff. I cant recommend Natalie enough!!!

Natalie is the reason why my wedding went as smoothly as it could possibly be! She is truly an incredible person. Both my husband and myself at the time lived in two different cities, neither in San Antonio, and Natalie was incredibly flexible working with our crazy schedules. She was able to pack multiple appointments with vendors so that we could see as much in person on the one or two days we were in town each month. She truly went above and beyond. Not only this, she literally took the dreams in my head and MADE IT HAPPEN. She took the time to understand our vision and through her networking with so many vendors not only in San Antonio, but even bringing talent in from Austin- she brought it all to life. Oh and did I mention she was pregnant and later with a newborn through all of this ?!!? She is a WONDER WOMAN! I found Natalie because she was the wedding planner for my friend's wedding, and so I KNEW firsthand she would do a good job, and she 100% did with ours as well! We are recommending her to anyone we know getting married in San Antonio! She is very organized, highly creative, and overall truly connected with your wedding day. You don't often see wedding planners getting tearful during touching moments! She was truly present, and you can't beat that.

Country Sugar could not have been any better. They made our day perfect and listened to our every request. The whole process was seamless and it truly put me at ease knowing I didn’t have to keep following up.
