To the coordinator of coordinators!

It'll be difficult to put into words how grateful we are for the incredible work Jonathan did on our wedding. For context, we live in Maryland, and our wedding took place in Virginia Beach, some 200 miles away. Fortunately, having Jonathan in our corner made the long distance planning a non-issue. To complicate matters, we chose to have our ceremony on the beach, while the reception took a place in the attic of a nearby restaurant. The months leading up to the big day are expected to be chaotic and stressful, except Jonathan wouldn't have it. He was with us every step of the way, in constant contact with our vendors (musicians, venue etc...) and readily available to answer any questions on our end. Texts, phone calls, and e-mails were answered within minutes. He set up multiple skype/video chat sessions with us (whatever times were convenient for us) that proved invaluable. He even designed and supplied a number of beautiful artistic pieces to the wedding that truly enhanced the setting of both our ceremony and reception. If you think you've missed or forgotten something, I guarantee he'll catch it and take care of it. The morning of the wedding, he met with our families to help set up, (I felt bad for him here), and both families came back singing his praises. I personally had a small dilemma hours before the event, and he took care of it on the spot. In the days, hours and minutes leading up to the wedding, you truly couldn't ask for a better partner, teammate, and friend to bring everything together. When things are seemingly chaotic and overwhelming, he is a truly calming presence. During the actual event, you may not even notice him, but as per usual, he's pulling the strings and making sure everything is running as planned so that you and your partner can relax and enjoy the festivities. After the reception, we didn't even have to worry about packing what we brought, as he and his team took care of all the packing and made sure everything was accounted for. Most importantly, he's a genuine, patient, calming, reliable, responsible, and good dude and I couldn't imagine our wedding being as successful as it was without him. There's no doubt we'll use him for any future events, and I can't emphasize enough how grateful we are to him.

Will execute your vision with style and swagger

Sante Events has had a great reputation for many years I have known of them. As luck and faith would have it, Jonathan and I got matched up to collaborate on two weddings this year that were basically back-to-back.
Are you looking for an awesome event planner, coordinator, and chaos controller? Maybe you are not even sure what all you need… you just know you need the help of someone with the skills and experience to pull off your vision beyond your expectations. Either way, you are in the right place and this is the right team for you! I am a professional DJ and I’ve had the pleasure of working with this company for weddings/ special events and I can confidently tell you that both the vendors and the clients adore them. They make my life easier, especially during the ceremony and grand entrance time, and they make everything behind the scenes go smoother by solving problems before you even knew there was a problem. Don’t overthink it, book this amazing team today to help make your dreams come through and give you the worry-free peace of mind you deserve on your special day.

Made Our Big Day the Best Day

Jonathan and the Santé Events team did an amazing job on helping coordinate our wedding! Jonathan was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process and was always willing and ready to brainstorm or talk through an idea, while weighing in with his insight and experience. Day-of, Jonathan and his team helped us execute our vision down to every last detail, and provided support in so many big and small ways. I'm forever grateful for all Santé Events did to make our big day the best day!

Absolutely perfect!

Sante Events made my daughter’s wedding all that we had hoped for and more. Jonathan’s ability to prioritize all of the intricate details of the wedding, his genuine care for its success, and his attention to the wedding couple and their desires, truly allowed our family to enjoy one of the most magical moments of our lives. I would highly recommend Jonathan and Sante Events to anyone!

Best Coordinator Ever

Jonathan was amazing from start to finish. With his hands on approach and detail oriented meetings, it made the entire process so much easier than I could have imagined it being. I was totally hands off at my wedding and he made it so I could enjoy the day with no worries. Everything was perfect. He will be the only wedding planner/coordinator I ever recommend.

Santé made our wedding a dream

When I tell you Santé Events made our wedding a dream - I truly mean it. I think without them my *new* husband and I would’ve 1000% eloped. They worked so hard to make our wedding special and a reflection of us and Jonathan was so professional and creative. I just can’t say enough good things. If you’re on the fence about a wedding planner - JUST DO IT & make sure it’s Santé. Love them not just as a business but as people ❤️

Peace of mind on a big day!

I am writing this review as the groom, a type of groom that is not savvy with wedding planning , coordinating, or even having a solicitous opinion. I just don't have the knack for it. So I am not embellishing when I say hiring Santé Events was (behind marrying my wife) the greatest most unequivocal decision we made in regards to our wedding preparations. Santé Events indubitably freed us to truly enjoy our engagement season, a season that was filled with love and joy thanks to them. From their spunky, charismatic personalities to extreme professionalism and punctuality, my beautiful bride and I were able to intimately enjoy our wedding day!

Best wedding planner ever!!!!

Words truly cannot express how amazing Sante Events were to work with. Throughout our entire planning process Jonathan was so helpful, attentive and extremely organized. He helped alleviate so much of the stress that comes with planning a wedding and honestly I don’t know what I would have done without him. He listened to what I was envisioning, and really made sure everything came together so beautifully. Jonathan is the best planner you can find and I feel so incredibly lucky to of had his help. He always made me feel like he had everything under control at all times and made sure everything ran so smoothly. You truly will not be disappointed with hiring Sante Events!!!
