Planner and 2nd Mother all in one!

I would absolutely recommend working with Angie and her Sapphire Celebrations team! I am a Denver native, however, I currently live in Nashville. Angie was so helpful in scouting venues and vendors for us, and be our local eyes and ears for our Colorado Springs wedding. I was a bride with a lot of "ideas". She would listen to each one and help me source it for the wedding with a smile. Having her be on our team from the rehearsal dinner through the following Sunday allowed for all of us to enjoy ourselves, as she handled any and all curve balls. By the end, my family started referring to her as our second mother! Thank you again Angie, your truly helped make our wedding weekend perfect!

Highly, highly recommend!

Working with Angie and her team was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we started planning to the very last dance, she was right by my side — calm, encouraging, and so incredibly helpful every step of the way.

On the day of the wedding, Angie handled everything so seamlessly — picking up details I hadn't even thought of, coordinating with vendors, and making sure the entire day ran perfectly. As an event planner myself I kept asking "What about..." and Angie confidently reminded me she had it covered and all was handled - keeping me the Bride at all times. I always felt supported and cheered on, and I never had to worry because I knew she had it under control.

Not only is Angie an amazing planner and calming presence, but she also has a fantastic network of vendors, which made the entire process even easier. I am beyond grateful for everything Sapphire Celebrations did to help create the most incredible, stress-free day. Highly, highly recommend!

The absolute BEST!

If I could give Angie & her team 10 stars, I would! The planning process is stressful as is, and Angie made it a point to help me break things down into manageable tasks. She was communicative, prompt & professional every step of the way.

We worked so well together, it got to the point where Angie could read me like a book. Day of, she could sense when I felt stressed or needed a moment away from everyone and would act swiftly to ensure the day was everything we dreamed it would be. I would often refer to her as a ninja because whenever I said "I need to talk to Angie" she would literally just appear!

My only sense of sadness is that I don't get to plan more events with her! My husband & I are forever grateful for the magic she created with her vendor partners (who were all A++), and we cannot recommend Sapphire Celebrations enough! We love Angie :)

Fantastic Planner!

We recently had the privilege of working with Angie Johnston for our wedding at The Broadmoor, and we can honestly say we couldn’t have done it without her. From start to finish, Angie was an absolute dream to work with.

Throughout the entire planning process, Angie was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. She made the often-stressful process of planning a wedding so much easier and more enjoyable. She provided thoughtful guidance every step of the way, helping us make decisions with confidence. What really stood out to us was how available Angie was—she was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns, and we never felt like we were on our own.

With her years of experience in the industry, Angie’s connections with top-quality vendors and The Broadmoor staff were invaluable. She has a network of professionals who truly know how to execute a beautiful event, and we could see the benefit of her relationships in every detail of our wedding.

On the day of our wedding, Angie’s organizational skills and calm presence were key in ensuring everything ran smoothly. She coordinated seamlessly with multiple teams, keeping everything on track and running efficiently. Her ability to manage every aspect of the day while keeping things stress-free for us was something we’ll never forget.

If you’re planning a wedding in Colorado, I highly recommend Angie Johnston. Her professionalism, expertise, and personal touch made our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Angie, for making our dream wedding come true!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond Perfection – Angie and Sapphire Celebrations Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality!

Where do I even begin?! From the moment we hired Angie, the owner of Sapphire Celebrations, we knew we were in the best hands. I had a very unique vision for our wedding at the Broadmoor – from my untraditional green dress to the luxurious, intricate details we wanted to incorporate throughout the day. Angie not only embraced our vision but elevated it beyond our wildest dreams.

Her meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were evident from the first meeting. Angie made every step of the planning process feel effortless, taking away any stress and replacing it with excitement. No idea was too grand, no detail was too small – she managed everything with the kind of expertise that only comes from years of experience.

The day of the wedding, Angie and her team were a godsend. Every moment flowed seamlessly, every detail was perfectly executed, and I was able to fully enjoy my day without a single worry. From coordinating with vendors to ensuring every luxe accent was in place, Angie handled it all with grace and poise. We truly felt like guests at our own wedding, knowing Angie had everything under control.

If you are looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, while making the entire experience magical and stress-free, look no further than Sapphire Celebrations. We would not have trusted this day to anyone else, and thanks to Angie, it was everything we dreamed of and more. She turned our ideas into a masterpiece that we will cherish forever!

Thank you, Angie, for making our day so incredibly special. 💚

Hiring Angie at Sapphire Celebrations was the BEST decision I made!

My wedding was absolutely perfect and magical all thanks to Angie! We could not have asked for a better wedding planner to work with than Angie at Sapphire Celebrations. She is super detailed oriented which really put my mind at ease knowing that I could relax and enjoy the process since she had a handle on everything. She made us feel like we were her only clients even though I know she's hard at work on several projects at once. You can tell that she's super passionate genuinely enjoys what she does. She's also great at wrangling family members, guests, and rowdy groomsmen in a kind yet assertive way! Cannot recommend Sapphire Celebrations enough!

Made Our Special Day Perfect!

Hiring Angie was the best money that we spent on our wedding. We needed a day of coordinator for our location and she was the top preferred vendor for our location. Angie was super easy and fun to work with and took so much stress away from us that I wish we hired her sooner to help plan the whole thing. She truly made the entire experience of planning and the wedding day special and we can not thank her enough for all her hard work to make our special day perfect!

My wedding was absolutely perfect because of Angie!

Angie Johnston with Sapphire Celebrations was the best. Handled everything. I didn’t have to stress about anything she was so on top of it. Really made the whole day go by without a hitch. And I think having her as a full planner as apposed to just day of coordination was so worth it. We planned for over a year together and I really felt like she got the vision and knew exactly what I wanted and needed! I cannot emphasize enough how she took the stress out of wedding planning. It was a truly a fun experience. I could not have had the perfect wedding day without her!

Our reception would not have happened without this team!

Angie and the Sapphire Celebrations team were incredible to work with! I found Angie 6 months before my wedding reception, and I truly wish I had hired her way before then! She helped me with everything, and talked me through so many decisions and conversations that would have been really challenging on my own. She navigated vendor relationships, found us incredible vendors within our budget, and helped keep everything organized. The day of, she made our vision into a reality, and we had the most spectacular evening. She helped with everything, from set up, to guest coordination, to keeping us on our timeline, and clean up. Angie is a wonderful woman, and my wedding would not have been what it was without her help! I will recommend Angie and Sapphire Celebrations to anyone that asks. They are amazing at what they do, they are all so kind, and they know how to make you feel so special on your big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
