Above & beyond!

If we could choose more than 5 stars we would! Having Sarah as our wedding planner was the best decision we made! We cannot imagine our wedding day without the time and care Sarah put into it. Each vendor Sarah helped us choose was incredibly talented and professional, just like Sarah herself, and elevated our wedding beyond what we could have hoped for. Sarah’s relationships with our venue and vendors helped everything run flawlessly and are a testament to her expertise. Sarah handled our entire wedding planning process and weekend with grace and we were truly stress-free because of her. She helped us through all of our questions and offered creative and innovative solutions for our most pressing challenges. For example, we wanted a fun escort board so Sarah came up with a brilliant design and worked tirelessly to execute our vision within our budget. She also transformed our tent into a garden oasis for the reception. Our guests were so complimentary and blown away by our wedding and it was truly because of Sarah’s suggestions and attention to detail. We didn’t have to leave the dance floor all night because Sarah had everything under control. We would advise every engaged couple to hire a wedding planner, it is 100% worth it, and absolutely recommend Sarah for an unforgettable wedding!

Highly recommend!

I don't know where to start...we couldn't have executed our wedding without Sarah! Hiring a wedding planner was without a doubt the #1 BEST thing we spent money on! Sarah doesn't let anything get in her way of achieving the vision and dreams you have for your big day. Being a Covid bride required us to postpone our date, change venues 1 month out, and reduce our guest list from 130 to 25 and Sarah handled it all with ease. As a bride you already have so many things to juggle, throughout the planning process, so having Sarah around to take the burden off of our shoulders and help with big and little decisions made it so much more enjoyable and less stressful. She is trustworthy and creative! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can't stress enough how worth it is. Not only for the planning, but to fully be present and enjoy your actual wedding day with no worries.

If she isn't your wedding planner, you are MISSING OUT!

I have no idea where to even begin describing how wonderful Sarah is, but what we can say for sure is if Sarah Duckworth isn’t your wedding planner, you’re doing it wrong!!

We met Sarah right before COVID hit with our initially planned wedding to happen in November 2020. When we inevitably had to delay our wedding to 2021, Sarah didn’t miss a beat. She contacted all of our vendors to make sure they could cover our new date and helped us with the rescheduling at the Ballantyne. She kept in contact with us over the two years we worked with her to see how we were feeling and what she could do to help us.

When the summer 2021 COVID surge hit, she answered MANY tear-filled phone calls with dramatic plans to cancel the wedding entirely and elope. She listened to our concerns and calmed us (mostly me…) down without making us feel like we were a burden. Our venue initiated construction, had us move ceremony locations three times, and we had to massively downsize our wedding; All of these made us stressed, but Sarah handled each change and bump in the road with grace.

As our December wedding date approached, Sarah was even more incredible than I could have ever imagined. She made all of our wedding dreams come true. She truly out did herself with design, events, timeline, and making every moment over our wedding weekend special. Whether it was our Welcome Dinner, reception, or afterparty, she made it PERFECT. When we walked into our reception for the first time, we were brought to tears. Sarah took our ideas and blew them up 5,000-fold while staying within our budget – Something we could never do ourselves and I am guessing few planners have the talent to do what she did for our wedding.

Matt and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. I cannot express our gratitude for this. We were able to remain present and soak up every single moment without worrying about ANYTHING.

Sarah is a force. She had a newborn during the peak of our wedding planning process and didn’t miss a beat. She had a baby on her hip and our documents in the other hand, ready to take on whatever came next. We are incredibly lucky to have met Sarah. Not only is she an amazing wedding planner, but an amazing woman. We feel lucky to have a new friend in her as we leave our two years of wedding planning!
