Sarah and her team had brought our wedding vision into a reality at Long Beach Museum of Art on 2/18/2023. For us, it was a magical experience. Early on in the planning process, I was overwhelmed by the abundance of information, but Sarah put our minds and hearts to ease by answering all the questions we have, every step of the way. We loved that she includes the coordination for the Tea Ceremony as well. She is responsive and given us great advice/suggestions throughout the whole process. She had also given us a new perspective on wedding planning and also connected us to amazing vendors! We really enjoyed our time working with her. For any future couples that are considering, please know that you will be in good hands.

Great wedding planner! Our company, National Bartender Staffing have partnered with them many times to do events and plan to continue doing so in the future. Always organized and good with communicating details. Looking forward to doing more events together!

We are so glad and grateful My Wedding Songbird (MWS) was our bilingual officiant and coordinator for our wedding. MWS is so great at what they do that I am writing this review during a flight on our honeymoon. :)

Our event felt very genuine and reflected to us as a couple; we have Sarah to thank for much of it. Sarah is well-experienced, takes pride in her business, has an incredible eye for all the details, and will make your special day feel easy for you!

COORDINATOR PREP HIGHLIGHTS
— You can begin your email communication process with MWS beginning 8 weeks from the day of your wedding. This model is 2x sooner than others’ and allows both parties to get to know eachothers’ styles ahead of time, making the final 4 weeks prior to the wedding even smoother.
— Sarah is prompt and clear with her communication. She is hard to beat when it comes to turnaround time. This applied to both communication with us as the couple and together with other vendors.
— When preparing our site layout, Sarah suggested lawn furniture be placed in an area that could serve as seating for our elderly guests during cocktail hour, while also doubling as a vendor meal area so they could remain close just in case. This ended up playing well in our favor, as one of our vendors were able to quickly respond when we ran behind on our photos timeline.
— MWS provides an invaluable Google Drive folder with template and cheatsheets. It is a lifesaver for getting organized and consulting when you might feel overwhelmed!


COORDINATOR DAY-OF HIGHLIGHTS
— MWS comes exceptionally prepared to the day-of the event. You know how there are some tour guides who amaze their guests by remembering all names in having just been introduced once? Sarah was like that with our decor. I had provided a brief inventory list prior, but had also brought extra items as well— I had assigned a purpose to each item, withOUT labeling them as such, except for one basket. Sarah quickly understood after seeing all the decor in person without explanation, including the extra items I had probably surprised her with, and only asked me about the one purposeless basket.
— Beautiful execution and decor placement. I had printed custom coasters, and gave authorization to just have them placed *somewhere*. Sarah surprised us by tucking them into each reception napkin! This was a wonderful surprise on the day-of, and meaningfully honored two guests who could not join us on the day-of.
— Sarah AND her team were alert and attentive at all times during the event.


OFFICIANT HIGHLIGHTS
— The process is easy. Once you have booked with Sarah, you can fill out a form with thoughtful prompts to draw our the details of your story as a couple. MWS will create a draft closer to the day-of and correspond with you for tweaks.
— Seamless transitions between Mandarin and English with an affable and charming demeanor. We received many compliments about her!


FINAL THOUGHTS
Sarah is an effective communicator who can do it all. She makes for a great balance between leveraging technology while also ensuring the human touch. She provided gold-star customer service throughout the whole process, never making us feel like we were a bother— even in a very busy wedding season.

We had great comfort knowing Sarah was at the helm of directing the pace and vibe of our ceremony, while also being able to provide support to our non-English-speaking guests throughout the event.

Look no further for your coordinator and/or officiant. My Wedding Songbird is it!

Sarah took care of everything from A to Z! I was truly able to enjoy my wedding day as I knew she would take care of it all and it went so much more smoothly than I could have ever asked for.

She kept my frazzled and stressed brain on track and was such a calm and reassuring person to have with me as we planned my wedding within 6 months. Sarah had a great can do attitude and she made me feel so well prepared and I had no anxiety at all, she would take care of it! 100% recommend her for your event planning needs!

Sarah is a phenomenal force to be reckoned with. Not only is she an efficient and effective planner, she can also be your MC, officiant, or singer!

I am amazed by the sheer amount of skills she has to balance all four roles as a wedding vendor. I witnessed firsthand as the photographer for Rosa and Robert's wedding that she amazingly planned, officiated, and MCed all in one day.

As Sarah navigated a Chinese, Western wedding, she switched seamlessly from Chinese to English translations. She was confident in presenting herself in front of a large audience while also effectively translating for both audience languages.

Sarah has a contagious positive energy that emanates in the audience. The guests couldn't help but laugh at her hilarious jokes and energetic personality.

I cannot wait to see where Sarah's business goes, but I know she is bound for success!

Sarah was awesome in planning our wedding! We had our wedding in LA, but we were living in the northeast. We knew planning a wedding from the opposite coast would be difficult and struggled to figure things out from such a distance. Sarah was such a great help and we are so happy we chose to work with her. She introduced us to so many great vendors and was able to put together all the disjointed pieces of our ideas and inspirations into something beautiful and whole. It was an amazing day and we couldn't have done it without her!

Sarah is not just an AWESOME wedding planner but a beautiful person. She did amazing job with planning K&S wedding in Santa Anita Park. Every details was perfect.
Thank you so much for this opportunity to work together.
I HIGHLY recommend "My Wedding Songbird"

Sarah Wang was our amazing wedding coordinator! She was extremely organized and helpful, giving us schedules and objectives to meet monthly so that our wedding day could be more approachable. She was also extremely helpful in coordinating meetings with our caterers, venue hosts, florist, and many others, even going as far as connecting us with people we didn’t know but needed (such as wedding photographer and filmographer, etc.). Sarah helped us communicate well and in a timely fashion with all these different people for the wedding, and is experienced to know what needs to be done to make the bride and groom happy. Thanks so much Sarah! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Sarah performed as the MC at my association’s Lunar New Year banquet (260 guests). She came to a couple of the planning meetings when been asked. She was very responsive, returned emails, texts and phone calls in a timely manner. She was easy to work with, flexible, has good manners, passionate and wanted to see the event to be as successful as possible, she not only wanted to do a good job on her part. She volunteered her time to create the timeline. When been asked about the script she responded “ I like having some creative freedom because being a MC it’s more interesting if you react to whatever is happening at the moment, can’t predict the crowd before hand,..” I have to say that she is right. Sarah is a very experienced MC, not only she reacts to the crowd very well, she also can attract and lead the crowd, the program went very smoothly and on time, all guests had a wonderful time.

She was up on the stage pretty much the whole night, she gave the welcome remarks; introduced the elected officials, VIPs and sponsors. She ran the raffles; introduced all performers and sang a few songs. She had total control of the time, crowd and program, She spoke well and dressed well, she was polite, humorous, funny, lively and vibrant. She worked very hard, kept guests focus on the program. At the end I asked her that have you eaten anything? She replied “No”, that just showed you how engaged and devoted she was.

Anyway, in my opinion, Sarah is a person with a good heart, she is reasonable, she went above and beyond to make sure our event is a successful one. She treated our event as her own event. Always has smile on her fact, behave very appropriately, conducted the event in a fun and professional way. I really appreciated and am thankful for her services to my association.

My husband and I got to work with Sarah for our wedding this past month on 10/20. It was the best experience to have a wedding planner on our side along our wedding planning as we only had 5 months to plan. Right after we hired Sarah, she gave us a great timeline for us to follow through for each month counting down to our wedding week and it helped us with our organization and stay on top of our tasks.

Whenever we bumped into questions or problems, Sarah would always give us helpful suggestions by proposing us other possible options or showing us examples of how others do it. She is such an angel when it comes to contacting and following up with our various vendors because that’s not my husband and my strongest strength!

Sarah is well connected to many big vendors in the LA region and it was such an honor to be able to work with some of the most talented vendors even with a budget. I am a very detail oriented bride and have very specific requests for the presentation of the wedding. Sarah suggested that I do vision boards for all the ideas I have for many of our vendors, and I was very pleased with the result of the vendors. I’m so very thankful for her connections and the vendors she works with.

Sarah is a fun coordinator to work with because of her bubbly personality. More importantly, she is effective and on top of her work and produce quality work, I highly recommend her for wedding planning!! Thank you Sarah for all your help!
