Sandy and team were PHENOMENAL!

Sandy and team went way past my expectations. The whole process was a breeze and Sandy ensures you sit back and relax while they make your dreams become reality!! I had NO worries and was blown away the morning of the wedding when I saw the pergola and reception setup. I can guarantee and preach you will not find better!!

Sandy is the best!!!

Sandy from the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful to have chosen you as our wedding coordinator, Words cannot express our gratitude for Sandy, Alexis and the rest of her staff. It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of you and your team. We came to them with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life. She always made us feel that everything is 100% under control. We knew that we won't have nothing to stress about on the day of my daughters wedding in every little detail and every step until the end. Sandy and her team are phenomenal! She is incredibly organized, flexible, creative, and a wonderful person. We cannot tell you how thankful we are Sandy. We will absolutely recommend Once Upon An Event to everyone! Your day will be more amazing than what you dreamed it could be. We especially love that they are such a combination of passionate enthusiasm and out-of-the-box thinkers. They have what it takes to handle your day with ease and grace and keep you sane and relaxed through it all. They are beyond lovely.

Everyone came up to us after the wedding saying how beautiful the wedding is, the venue, the decor and the design was and honestly the vision came together only because we had you behind us the whole time. If you guys can get a wedding coordinator like Sandy you honestly don't have to stress about a single thing on the day of your wedding. Most brides look back and say that their wedding day was probably one of the most stressful days of their lives, running around, ensuring things are moving according to plan. For us, my daughters wedding day was one of the most fun days of our life. It was completely stress-free and not once did we ever cared about the schedule or even glanced at it. That's really the crux of hiring an awesome wedding coordinator. Once Upon An Event moved seamlessly and effortlessly behind the scenes the whole day and the entire preparation which made the wedding day such a dream! A big thank you two thumbs Up 👍👍 👌🏻 A million thanks to you and to your wonderful staff. It was beautifully and perfectly done...we love it so much...highly recommended...rated 6 out of 5😁😁😁❤❤❤

Sandys team is amazing to work with!

My husband and I hired Once Upon an Event to cater and bartend our wedding on 12.6.19. It was honestly one of the best decisions we could have made! Sandy was super professional and easy to work with. She answered every single one of my questions throughout the way and helped to create a menu that fit within our budget. On the day of, the food was freaking amazing and Sandy's team (ESPECIALLY ALEXIS) was super attentive! Sandy's team went out of their way to make sure my husband and I were having a great time. Alexis literally made sure that my husband and I ate throughout the night and always had a drink in our hand! I seriously cannot recommend Once Upon an Event enough! If you're even thinking about hiring them... DO IT!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
