We love Samara!

I can't say enough about Samara! I wanted nothing to do with wedding planning and was honestly overwhelmed by the idea of it, but thanks to Samara I not only got through the planning, but enjoyed the day and the planning was manageable because she is so good about keeping you on schedule and helping with decision making during the process. There were countless times I asked her about when a payment was due, or about a specific detail of a vendor contract and she would have an answer for me in minutes because she is just so organized. I had a very broad idea of what I may want the wedding to be like, but I could not have created a full image of the wedding or brought it to life without her help.
We had originally planned our wedding for 2023, but about 6 months before our scheduled wedding we unexpectedly had to postpone it by an entire year. Samara helped us reschedule with all of our vendors and we were able to replan the wedding without much issue because she was so helpful.
She's easy to talk to, responsive, organized, calm and if you're someone like me who has a hard time making decisions, she's a great sounding board. Her and her team handled every detail on the day of and it was truly perfect.
We are so grateful for all of her help and her friendship. All I can say is if you're getting married, you'd be lucky to have her!

Couldn't have done it without Samara!!

We worked with Samara for almost two years leading up to our wedding. From day one she was extremely organized, communicative, and professional. Samara helped to bring our vision to life PERFECTLY. Our venue was a "blank slate" venue that needed every little detail imaginable. Samara and her team coordinated with all of our vendors and made it the dreamiest wedding ever. I can truly say that I was able to enjoy my wedding day stress free because I completely trusted Samara and her team. I would recommend Samara to anyone and will forever be thankful for everything she did to ensure we had the best day ever!

Hire Samara!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Samara and her team! From the very beginning, Samara was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our dream wedding come to life. Every detail was meticulously planned, and her creative vision brought a level of elegance and beauty we couldn’t have imagined.

Samara truly went above and beyond, handling every challenge with grace and ensuring the entire process was stress-free for us. She even sewed (yes, sewed) a small piece of my dress on the day of because it was coming undone. Truly unbelievable. Her ability to combine our personal style with her expertise in design and execution was incredible, and the result was nothing short of magical.

Our guests are still raving about how stunning everything was and how seamless the day felt. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were their own, look no further. We are forever grateful for Samara's hard work and dedication.

Thank you, Samara, for making our special day absolutely perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
