Sorrell and her team made the process of planning my daughter’s wedding as organized and relaxed as it could possibly be. She knew when to lock in the vendors we needed—venue, florist, DJ, catering, transportation, etc., and was able to provide great recommendations for each vendor. She showed up in person for site visits, and was always available by phone, text, or email when we needed to check in about some aspect of planning or to quell our occasional flashes of anxiety. When problems arose, Sorrell and her team were there to troubleshoot until we found a solution. She takes care to cultivate her relationships with the vendors she works with, which goes a long way towards making the planning process as smooth as possible. On the weekend of the wedding, Sorrell and her team were onsite the entire time, handling the myriad details so that we were free to be present with our guests and simply enjoy ourselves. Sorrell and her teams’ calm, professional, caring presence was truly a gift. They handled everything with grace and ease and good humor. Choosing to work with Events by Sorrell was one of the best decisions we made in planning this most special event. We are eternally grateful for their help in making the wedding weekend the relaxed and totally joyful event we had imagined.

We cannot recommend Sorrell highly enough. Our wedding took place in the summer of 2024 and was truly a gorgeous, unforgettable day—made possible in large part by Sorrell and her incredible team. Because we were living across the country at the time, all of our planning happened remotely, yet Sorrell was extraordinarily communicative, prompt, and organized throughout the entire process, which gave us complete peace of mind.

While our budget ultimately grew beyond what we initially planned, Sorrell helped us thoughtfully navigate those decisions, and we felt confident and happy with the final choices. When we encountered major last-minute challenges—including a hurricane that heavily damaged our venue (a family home) just months before the wedding—Sorrell was right there, calmly helping us adapt and make adjustments so that the wedding day itself went off without a hitch.

Our guests raved both during and after the wedding about how beautiful and fun it was. Through it all, Sorrell was a true joy to work with: kind, supportive, funny, and someone we would trust without hesitation to do it all over again.

Working with the Sorrell and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in Vermont! From start to finish, they brought an incredible level of warmth, and amazing attention to detail.
Every element—from the timeline, Merri Virtual seating chart, to table decor and the decorations being exactly as we had planned on calls- was flawlessly executed. Their ability to anticipate needs before we even voiced them was amazing. No detail was too small, and nothing ever felt overlooked.
What truly stood out was the calm, grounding energy they brought to the entire process!
Their support was unwavering. Whether it was navigating last-minute changes, coordinating vendors, or simply checking in to make sure we were feeling good, they were always one step ahead and genuinely cared about making our day perfect! We have to shout out, Kim who was our coordinator and truly did such a beyond beautiful job! Our wedding would not have been the same without her! Kim we love you!
If you're looking for a team that combines stunning creative vision with calm, steady support and impeccable attention to detail, I would suggest going with Events By Sorrell. We truly couldn’t have done it without Sorrell, kim and the team.

If you are planning a wedding in Vermont or the surrounding states, Sorrell is the planner for you. She is the calm in what will be a very hectic time in your life. She is WELL connected in the area and has relationships with vendor's across the board (even vendors outside of New England because she attends national wedding planning conferences and networks well). If you are not a creative person, like myself, she will take the disconnected things you had envisioned for your wedding and turn it into a dream. I had the most beautiful wedding at the Woodstock Inn in Vermont and I am so glad I chose Sorrell as my wedding planner. Especially day of, if anything went wrong, I had no clue because Sorrell was on top of any problem before it became a huge matter. I got to have the perfect day that I will cherish for years to come. Special note: I was a bride living in Texas planning a wedding in Vermont and long distance planning is hard. Sorrell made what could have been an immensely difficult process as easy as it could be.

Sorrell is super organized, was so calm and cool on wedding day, and was always personable! A rockstar wedding planner!

Sorrell is incredibly professional, and you totally feel like you can count on her and she is going to do everything she says and then some!! Sorrell is even tempered and cool and collected, exactly what you want from a wedding planner. We highly recommend Sorrell and think the world of her! Photos are available on the Ewings website.

Sorrell and her assistant Amy were amazing. They spent time with the couple and knew the vision they wanted- and paid close attention to every detail. They created a very calming presence for a nervous bride and overwhelmed MOB (me). They confirmed all vendors and oversaw their set ups from flowers, DJ, transportation, signage, rentals, processional, and the venue. At no time during the day did we have to look for them - one of them was always discreetly there if needed or keeping me informed. We did hit a few bumps that day and as soon as I was informed it was either already taken care of or I was quickly given a few options on how I wanted to handle it. The little things like bustling my daughters dress in seconds between pictures and the reception, keeping everything moving on time, to making multiple trips to the bridal suite to make sure all wedding cards were secure. My daughter’s wedding was such a wonderful event of a lifetime and in large part due to Sorrell. My husband and I could not be more thankful!

I cannot say enough about how fantastic Sorrell and her team were throughout this entire process. Trying to plan a wedding in the midst of residency was no easy feat, but Sorrell didn’t bat an eye and helped us to create a wedding weekend that was exactly what we envisioned. She and her team were so kind, so reassuring, and so on top of everything that when the day finally came, we could truly just sit back and enjoy. From the very beginning she understood exactly the energy we were trying to cultivate and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure all our vendors aligned with that vision. We are eternally grateful to her and her crew for giving us a weekend so filled with love and joy. We cannot recommend this team enough!!!

Working with Sorrell was a dream come to true. She is so kind and calming. We had a intricate 3 day Indian wedding with lots of moving pieces, Sorrell and her team were able to see and establish our vision, navigate complexities intrinsic to a big Indian wedding, and help create our wonderful wedding week. It would not have been the same without her. We are so grateful and would recommend her to anyone without any reservations. Thank you Sorrell!!

We can't recommend Sorrell enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing in helping plan and execute our wedding. Her and her teams attention to detail, organization, and ability to keep everything running smoothly allowed us to fully enjoy our big day without any stress.
She was always available to answer questions, offer great advice, gave amazing recommendations for vendors and made sure our vision came to life perfectly.

Sorrell and the EBS Team truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable. If you're looking for a planner who is dedicated, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to work with, Sorrell and the EBS is the one to hire!
