Hiring Sarah Trotter and Lasting Impressions was the best decision we made for our daughter’s wedding. Sarah was an absolute dream to work with and we couldn’t have done it without her.

On the big day, everything flowed seamlessly. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing Sarah and her team had everything under control. Sarah ensured every detail was perfect and we are forever grateful. We would whole heartedly recommend Sarah Trotter and Lasting Impressions for any couple wanting a beautiful and magical wedding!

Flawless!!

I don't even know where to begin on how amazing of an experience it was to work with Sarah! While I have known her for years and trusted her completely, nothing prepares you for the joy of a truly flawless wedding day! When my dad asked what was more important, the date I wanted or if Sarah could be there, it was an obvious answer. I will not have my wedding day without Sarah as my coordinator. From beginning to end, her expertise, poise, communication, and confidence on a wedding day is unmatched. She brings a sense of calm and you know you are TRULY in good hands. If there is any vendor that you absolutely need to book, it is a coordinator, and there is no one better than Sarah.

Great support for the wedding. Totally prepared - really knows what she is doing and the venue respects her.

Would definitely recommend her to use as your planner. Knows what she is doing and recommended top notch florists etc.

Top Tier Planner

Working with Sarah to plan our wedding was the best decision and investment we made. There is a reason Sarah is the best in the business. From the outset, Sarah’s calm demeanor put me at ease during the planning process. As a type-A person, I was anxious to check things off the list, but Sarah balanced my need for progress while reassuring me that we had ample time and could follow the meticulous timeline and checklist she had created.
Planning a wedding out of state was daunting, but Sarah's exceptional communication skills made everything seamless. She was extremely responsive and took the lead in coordinating with our vendors. We managed to meet face-to-face multiple times when we were in the cities, which helped build our trust and rapport with her.
One of the standout benefits of working with Sarah was her vast network within the wedding industry. Her vendor recommendations were spot on, allowing us to assemble an A-team for our big day. The praise and excitement we received from other vendors when they learned we were working with Sarah confirmed that we had made the right choice.
Sarah's professionalism shone throughout the planning process, keeping us on track and answering our many questions with patience and clarity. On the wedding day itself, although Sarah could not be on-site, her lead planner, Gabby, took over and was an absolute superstar. Gabby guided our wedding party and families with ease and a smile, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
In summary, Sarah's quality of service, coupled with her professionalism and outstanding communication, made our wedding planning experience not only stress-free but also enjoyable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a wedding planner. She was a joy to work with and almost makes me want to plan another wedding!

Best Wedding Planner Out There!

Working with Sarah and her team was such a joy. As a surgical resident living in another state, Sarah made planning a wedding a breeze. Every meeting with her was so fun and full of light and joy. She was able to take my ideas and know exactly what vendors to get on board, and how to plan, organize and execute the plan to a T. I had such a stress free wedding day all thanks to Sarah and her team at Lasting Impressions. I could not have done it without them!!

Lasting Impressions is THE BEST!

Sarah is absolutely THE BEST when it comes to anything and everything wedding planning in MN!
I could not have imagined planning our wedding without her! She came up with a new and creative ideas for our venue space that turned out to be some of my favorite things/pieces about our day, and without her none of it would have been possible! She was incredible with getting us connected to the best vendors in town and keeping us organized the entire way. I truly felt like she was invested in our day from the very beginning, and took a real interest in making our vision come to life. I cannot recommend Sarah and all of her staff enough- look no further than Lasting Impressions and you will not be disappointed!

September 17th Celebration

Sarah was terrific to work with throughout our whole experience. She was responsive, encouraging, created a sense of calm and we knew we could count on her to do anything for us. She also gave advice on how to best spend our money and all of the people she recommended to us for various needs were fabulous as well. We are thrilled with our event and highly recommend Lasting Impressions. I will miss working with her…if there is another opportunity for us to need her help we will call her! Thank you Sarah!

Hiring Sarah at Lasting Impressions was the best decision I made!

Hiring Sarah Trotter (Lasting Impressions) was the best decision I made! We hired Sarah to be our day of coordinator, however she was so much more than that. She guided me on vendors, timeframes and the small details we often forget. Thanks to Sarah, I was able to sit back and enjoy every aspect of the wedding weekend knowing she was taking care of every detail day of (big and small). The venue, photographers, florist and bridal party all loved working with her!

Sarah is a great planner to work with. Most planners don't understand or take the time to know each vendors roles they have to make an event special for the couple. I met Sarah before the event for a walk through with the couple and we stayed in communication leading up to the event. It really felt like we were a team serving one purpose, the couple. She's a great listener and has a wonderful creative sense to take the couple's ideas in what they envision for their reception from the colors to the decorations and bring them to life. Sarah is not only a great vendor to work with, she is a "fun" vendor to work with and brings a lot energy, personality, compassion and professionalism to her work to make it a great experience for her couples. I look forward to working with Sarah again.
