Our wedding was planned by Sarah A. at Orchard Avenue, and it was one of the best choices we made (and any other good choice we made was made at the assist of our planner.) My fiance and I just had our spring wedding in wine country, and it went so well!

Day of Service: Sarah directed our rehearsal the day before. She ironed out all the details, really helping out our officiant and family members so that all they had to worry about was their individual role, and Sarah managed everything else. On the day-of, Sarah directed all the vendors, gathered up all the items after the event for us, and also found time to take care of me, my bridesmaids and my fiance and his groomsfolk. I really can't say enough good things about Sarah!

Vendor Acquisition: In the months prior to our wedding, Sarah was on call with us to find, vet and hold our hands through the process of working with our different vendors. She helped us find: hotels, shuttles, gifts for our wedding party and guests, a photographer, a videographer, band, DJ, a florist, a babysitter service, cake, and a caterer.


Extras: Sarah was amazing to work with; she is direct, able to advocate on our behalf with all the vendors we interfaced with, (and she had a relationship with all of the vendors). She excels at communication: she was always responsive and had a close attention to detail, be it combing through contracts or ironing out the fine details of our day-of timeline.


Professionalism: as I said before, Sarah was consistently responsive, and excelled at communicating with our vendors. It is clear she draws on her experience as a planner.

OAE and our planner Sarah Aylward were intricate to our wedding planning process. Sarah was able to connect us with all our vendors, who were amazing! She kept us within budget, negotiated with vendors for us and had a plan for every contingency possible. She is extremely responsive and I genuinely believe our wedding would not have been half as fabulous without her.

Brooke takes care of all the details including driving to pick up guests for the wedding ceremony when the shuttle company fails to do so. She allowed my daughter and her new husband to relax and thoroughly embrace family and friends for their special day and not stress about any of the details. Brooke, I can’t thank you enough for making Chloe and Alek’s wedding so lovely. It was amazing!
