Wedding Planner

Sarah is absolutely incredible!! Throughout the entire wedding process, she made the experience feel calm, organized and fun. Planning a wedding can be a very stressful process, but Sarah's amazing attention to detail, honest and compassionate expert eye, and overall fun and warm attitude made the process a breeze. She will forever hold a very special place in my and my family's hearts, and we will absolutely be keeping in touch. I would recommend Sarah to anyone as she is truly the best in this industry!

Sarah is Incredible

I truly do not have the words to express how amazing Sarah was throughout our entire wedding planning process. Sarah's attention to detail, creativity, and execution is actually remarkable. She gave us honest recommendations, worked tirelessly behind the scenes with all of our vendors shielding us from the chaos of creating our custom designs, and ultimately made our wedding weekend everything we could have dreamed of. I genuinely enjoyed the planning process and I owe that entirely to Sarah!! She went above and beyond for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at the Tennis Hall of Fame so special. I truly do not have enough positive things to say about how delightful it is to work with Sarah her ability to truly bring your wildest dreams to life!
