It was a pleasure working with Sally Oakley to make our wedding celebration day a seamless event. Sally was so instrumental with connecting with vendors, planning our day, and making our day worry free! On the day of our ceremony, we were able to enjoy our guests and events without having to worry about anything. We are so glad to have the opportunity to work with Sally.

We had the pleasure of working with Sally Oakley for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. As a Type-A bride with a lot of questions, I appreciated how prompt and thoughtful Sally was in responding to my many emails. Her expertise, organization, and calm presence allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. If anything went wrong on the day, we certainly didn’t know about it—because Sally took care of everything behind the scenes with grace. Sally’s experience and professionalism were clear from the start, but what really set her apart was how warm and approachable she was. She made us feel completely at ease and gave us the confidence to let go and enjoy our day, knowing she had everything under control. We are so grateful for her and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

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.

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.

Sally's expertise, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge of Raleigh's wedding scene transformed our special day into an unforgettable masterpiece.

Sally brings knowledge of all the ins and outs of the industry, anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them. From selecting the perfect venue to recommending top-notch vendors, Sally's insights were invaluable. Her meticulous planning and organizational skills ensured that every aspect of our wedding was seamlessly coordinated.

Sally brought a sense of calm to the chaos that often accompanies wedding preparations. Her reassuring presence and unwavering commitment to our vision made the entire process enjoyable. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all of the decisions involved in planning a wedding, but Sally acted as our guiding light and ‘calm in the storm’. A top highlight was my husband and I completely enjoying our month of and day of wedding because we knew Sally just had it all handled.

If you're in search of a wedding planner who not only understands the intricacies of the industry but also brings a comforting presence to the whirlwind of wedding planning, look no further than Sally. She is a true professional, a local expert, and, above all, a genuine joy to work with. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Sally Oakley for making our special day truly magical.

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.

I highly recommend booking Sally to help with your wedding planning needs! Sally made me feel comfortable from our first meeting and was very communicative and willing to answer any questions (no matter how silly the question). She is very organized and professional and handled everything on our wedding day so we could truly enjoy our day.

We worked with Sally to plan our wedding from start to finish and she was absolutely incredible to work with! Sally's dedication, knowledge, organization, and responsiveness made the whole process for me so easy. She attended all the important vendor meetings, made sure we stayed on the timeline, and helped bring my vision to life. She never missed a detail and I am so incredibly thankful we worked with Sally. She is positive, upbeat, and always has a solution. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for assistance in planning their wedding - whether it's the day of assistance or the full planning package.

Sally Oakley planned our daughters wedding in June 2023. She quickly figured out my daughters vison, and helped us make all the necessary vendor contacts (we live in CT but the wedding was in NC). She gave us great advice on all aspects of the wedding, and led all the logistical arrangements. On the wedding weekend she ran the show flawlessly. That allowed all of us to fully enjoy the weekend. Sally is a fun person to work with and the ultimate professional. She is the best event planner we have ever used (we have used many).

Mandi + Sally Oakley were incredible and helped the wedding go off without a hitch. Mandi dealt with anything that popped up with guests or other vendors quickly, calmly and professionally, and included small details that helped us savor the little moments (like having champagne and appetizers ready for me and my husband so we could take a moment and celebrate with each other before going into the reception). I'd 100% recommend working with her!
