Calm Wedding Day

Thank you for helping our families wedding day be fantastic and one that everyone is still talking about! I am used to being in control but on this day Mandi allowed me to sit back and enjoy my daughter's wedding. Her guidance from the first time we spoke all the way through the evening was exceptional. I appreciated her allowing me to give my opinion but then letting me figure out that I could let go. Mandi has wonderful energy while still exuding a calmness that helped the bride and groom be able to enjoy every moment. Mandi is able to take charge while still being relaxed. Thank you for keeping the schedule on task and creating exactly what the bride and groom wanted, a night on the dance floor with their guests. We appreciate all that you did and the incredible memories you helped us create. I highly recommend hiring Sally Oakley/Mandi as your wedding day coordinator.

We had a blast at the wedding because of Sally!!

As a mother of the bride, I would not have enjoyed myself if I did not have Sally. She took over and made sure all went well on a special day. She gave us great advice prior to the wedding—there were so many details I had not considered. But she really was priceless on the wedding day. She kept everyone on schedule, took care of details or any issues, and made the day go smoothly. And what is truly a testament to her skill, even my husband was impressed and would recommend her highly. Even though we got the lowest tiered of her services, she always gave 100 percent.
If you want to enjoy yourself on your child’s wedding day, hire Sally.

Couldn't be happier with Mandi from the Sally Oakley team. She was so easy to work with, understood my vision, kept me organized and on a timeline, and made the day move perfectly.
