EventsBySarahKY could not have been more wonderful to work with!

Due to some unexpected changes in our lives, we ended up with a 4-month engagement, which was MUCH shorter than we had initially planned. A few weeks into wedding planning, I was in complete panic mode trying to figure out how to plan a wedding on such a short timeline, with a tight budget, and by myself for the most part, all the while having absolutely zero idea what I was doing. With strong encouragement from my now husband (who was growing a little weary from the many meltdowns I was having in the first few weeks of planning, lol!), we met with Sarah to discuss options, and we decided that day-of coordinating would be best for our budget. But "day-of coordination" doesn't even begin to describe how INCREDIBLE her level of service was!

In addition to our initial meeting, Sarah met with us 5 more times over the 90 days leading up to our wedding, usually for 2 hours or more. She helped immensely with decor design and supply (she's got a great personal inventory of items you can use!). She took the time during our meetings to answer my MANY questions and helped me think through things I never would have thought about. She made herself as available as possible to me via email and phone. She was incredibly encouraging, calming, and non-judgmental in her words and demeanor, which meant so much to me in the midst of my stress, overwhelm, and decision fatigue. And at my request, she guided me through the planning process by helping me know what my next steps were and how best to approach them. She gave me her professional opinion when I asked, and she empowered me with the knowledge I needed to make decisions (which I am terrible at doing) and knock out to-dos on my own.

And because of her incredibly intentional preparation, the quality of her guidance to me, and how AMAZING her team executed everything on the day of, we had a wonderful wedding day that truly went off without a hitch! She and her team exceeded expectations at every step of the process, and my husband and I truly don't know what we would have done without them. In fact, even though she went WAY above and WAY beyond in terms of day-of coordination (seriously, she did way more than she should have), my biggest regret is not booking her full package services. We originally opted for the day-of package so we could save some room in our budget, but if you are someone like me who gets extremely stressed by event planning, you know nothing about the wedding industry, you're on a short timeline, and/or you don't have a relative or friend who is able to be heavily involved in the planning process—hear me when I say that, if it's financially feasible for you, it is truly worth EVERY penny to hand off the work to someone else so you can preserve some peace in your engagement season!

In short: DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND HIRE SARAH TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING! My husband and I will always and forever sing her and her team's praises!! They were the biggest blessing of our entire engagement season, and I’m so grateful to have worked with them!

Sarah is amazing! Her foresight, attention to detail, and thorough planning helped me feel so prepared for my wedding day. I am a major planner and very Type A so I was afraid I would still feel the need to micromanage every detail of the day but Sarah made me feel so comfortable and I trusted her completely to execute my vision. On the actual wedding day I didn't worry or think about anything, it all just happened and that was due to Sarah's planning and active involvement on the day of. Sarah is so professional but also made me feel so cared for and seen at every step of the process. She was always easy to contact and every detail was communicated to me and everyone involved with the wedding day. I am so grateful to have had Sarah as a part of my wedding planning process and for her to be a part of my day. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Sarah made the day go by smoothly. A mark of a great event planner is the event going great and not knowing they were there. They were so helpful and kind. They were present in the right moments. As a bridesmaid, I felt that they were able to give the bride and groom the best day ever.

Sarah was so amazing! Every detail that I didn't want to handle or even know about - Sarah handled quietly and behind the scenes so I was not stressed (or my daughter - who was the bride)! She rocked everything from all the vendors to clean up and everything in-between! She is kind and thoughtful! She wants your special day to be the best and she ensures it is! My daughter didn't think we needed a wedding planner but I told her, "Oh YES we do!" We hired Sarah for "Day Of Planner" and it was worth it a million times over! Sarah worked with my daughter in the few sessions leading up to the wedding to make sure it was what my daughter wanted down to the small details! Thank you Sarah for being easy going, not in your face planner, flexible, doing what the bride wants, and overall AMAZING! Do not bother to look for another planner! Sarah is who you want!

Sarah did such a wonderful job helping to plan and coordinate my wedding! I would recommend her a thousand times over! She was not only very sweet and personable, but very knowledgeable about everything wedding related. She helped me to relax and enjoy being a fiancé and a bride. Of course planning my wedding had moments of stress, but Sarah was there to help with everything! On the day of my wedding, she handled all of the details so that I could enjoy the day and spend time with my loved ones. She decorated beautifully and coordinated wonderfully. I cannot thank you enough Sarah!!!

Sarah was a JOY to work with! I am so so glad we had her on our team. My husband (fiance at the time) and I did not have a lot of extra time to spare to plan our wedding, and hiring Sarah was exactly what we needed. She is super flexible on what she offers, and you can add on so many things that you may need help with. She was extremely organized and responsive, and she helped so much with finding vendors, communicating with them, getting our timeline set, etc. Best of all, she constantly cheered us on and encouraged us, and really ensured that we were getting what WE wanted, not what other people wanted!

Would 100% hire her again!

Sarah was the absolute best. She made my wedding dreams become reality. She went above and beyond with every detail in my wedding.

I chose Sarah's partial wedding planning package and she was so helpful throughout the entire process! She has a great eye for making my wedding style come to life. She was also very organized with coordinating communications with my vendors, which was a big help. She's a great wedding planner than I highly recommend!

Sarah was amazing from the start. She listened carefully to me and my daughter (the bride, Alex), had great organization and suggestions and kept us on track with gentle reminders and questions. She also had awesome and controlled flexibility. Alex's wedding was supposed to happen outside on the veranda of our venue, but God decided to make it a RECORD cold March day in North Carolina. Sarah maintained her cool -so to speak! - and adapted and managed along with the venue staff to adjust everything to inside which was no small feat in a 175-attendee wedding. Most everything was smooth and flowed perfectly with her managing the wedding and reception components as well as keeping the timeline. Anything that did not flow smoothly was not under her control. I had dubbed her our CEO, Confusion Elimination Officer, early on and she certainly was that! I would highly recommend Events by Sarah for any event. She is incredible! And as an special added bonus, she is a lovely, sweet person.

Oh my goodness, where to begin with Sarah? What I've told everyone from my wedding planning journey was that Sarah was the best money we could have spent. From the beginning, she was friendly, professional, SO well organized, and perhaps most importantly, undoubtedly in our corner.

While we hired her just for day-of coordination, Sarah did so much work behind the scenes. She worked with us leading up to our wedding day to help get the little details in a row (including making suggestions about things we had forgotten, like lunch on the day-of for the bridesmaids!). We had several meetings discussing preferences, wanting to get to know us well as both clients and friends. Then, when the wedding day arrived, she calmly and proficiently handled everything the day could throw at us - including sub-freezing wind chills and catering mistakes.

Trust me when I tell you that you will have ZERO regrets booking Sarah. She's got your best interests at heart AND she will make sure your event the very best it could be!
