Sarah Elizabeth Events

In the days after the wedding, the resounding chorus from me and my husband, my friends, and my family was “thank god for Sarah”. Sarah made the entire event seamless, from the early days of initial planning, to working with the vendors to perfect every detail, to anticipating my and my husband’s every need on the big day—and making sure my friend didn’t actually set the venue aflame. There’s no way the wedding would have gone so perfectly if it weren’t for Sarah. If you’re still on the fence, let this be your sign: hire her! You won’t regret it, but you will if you don’t!

Lalita, from Sarah Elizabeth Events, was the Wedding “Day of Coordinator” for our daughter’s recent wedding in Big Sur. A coordinator is one of those things you can’t really see the full value of until you experience it. I entered in having thoughts like, Do we really need this? or I hope it’s worth it! Now that we are on the other side of it, I simply cannot imagine things going nearly as well without Lalita. We had a lot of logistics to consider in Big Sur. Lalita was so detail oriented without being overwhelming. She did not miss a beat and was completely calm and encouraging throughout the process. This put us at ease continually. I can enthusiastically recommend Sarah Elizabeth Events for seamless planning. Lalita won our hearts!

Working with Sarah was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she understood exactly what we envisioned — a warm, rustic vineyard celebration that captured all the beauty of fall. Her creativity and attention to detail brought everything to life, from the golden leaves and candlelit tables to the cozy, romantic touches that made the day feel so personal and magical.
She handled every detail with such grace and professionalism, coordinating vendors, décor, and timing so seamlessly that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly — we were able to just soak in the love, laughter, and the stunning vineyard views.
Beyond her incredible organization, Sarah was such a joy to work with. She’s kind, thoughtful, and has such a calming presence — exactly what you want during wedding planning! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and effortless everything felt, and that’s all thanks to her.
If you’re wanting that extra support, Sarah is the planner for you. Thank you, Sarah, for turning our fall dream into the most unforgettable day of our lives. 🍂💛

The best decision my partner and I made was hiring Sarah as our wedding planner.
At first we started looking for vendors on our own, and we quickly became extremely overwhelmed and did not know where to begin. Our wedding was a destination wedding and although we had visited the area before, we did not know where to find good vendors in the area. After interviewing at least three wedding planners, we decided to hire Sarah for her full planning package. She took all of the stress and pressure of planning a wedding off of our shoulders and our experience was nothing but fun from start to finish. Her expertise and knowledge helped us through every step of the process, creating a wedding timeline with tips on which vendors to book first, and providing us with incredible recommendations for every vendor, from floral to catering that we never would have found on our own! For example, after finding out how much of foodies we are, Sarah recommended the perfect caterer who tailored a custom menu to my partner and I’s vision who we enjoyed working with so much.

When we booked our wedding venue in Big Sur, we did not realize that the remote location would pose a lot of logistical challenges for all of the vendors. Thankfully for us, Sarah was well versed in planning weddings in the area and even the exact venue. She had no problem coordinating with the vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day.

She had so many great suggestions on decor, ambiance, and style all while keeping within our budget and our own personal vision for what our special day could be.

After a year of planning with Sarah, sourcing all of our vendors, speaking with us regularly to check in on our progress, and putting all the pieces together, our day finally arrived and was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. After our incredible journey together, we consider Sarah a friend and we miss not having our regular check-ins to chat and catch up!

If you are looking for a stress-free, exciting, and fun planning experience, we highly recommend Sarah’s full wedding planning package. Sarah will listen, understand your vision, and help you create a magical day that is tailored to you. We cannot imagine having our special day without her.

We hired Sarah's services ("Full Planning package") for our September 2025 wedding in Aptos, CA - she was incredible! My husband and I could not have been happier with how our wedding day turned out; it truly was a dream come true, and in large part that was thanks to Sarah. I finally understand when people say their wedding was the best day of their lives. We felt that deeply.
We are so grateful for everything Sarah did to help us bring the dream to life. Her calming energy and nurturing spirit were absolutely critical. In addition to managing all the details and vendors for the wedding itself, Sarah had to manage my mom and my *big* personalities for 12 months, and made us both feel heard and understood throughout the process. She really was our therapist and cheerleader on top of our planner. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!

Sarah was GREAT! We are a photo + video team and love working with her and her team. They are always so friendly and professional. They make our work so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Would highly recommend! - The Uncommon Weddings Team

Hiring Sarah’s team for month- and day-of coordination for our wedding was definitely one of the best investments we made! Sarah was organized and so lovely to chat with that we immediately felt at ease having her help coordinate our wedding. We worked with Lalita from her team, and she was the absolute best! She took over as liaison for all our vendors a month out, which eased a lot of stress leading up to the wedding. By the time the day arrived, we knew everything was under control, and we were able to have the most beautiful, stress-free day! Lalita handled everything to do with vendors, timeline, and family-wrangling so we didn’t have to lift a finger. Highly recommend Sarah’s team and Lalita specifically to give you the best wedding day experience!

We hired Sarah Elizabeth Events for our month-of wedding coordination, and it was the best decision we made! After my first call with Sarah, I could tell she was knowledgeable and her very calm yet enthusiastic personality would be a perfect match for our needs. Stacey ended up being our assigned coordinator, and when we started chatting a month before the wedding date, she had the same energy as Sarah and jumped right into work! Her communication was top-notch and even when things got extra stressful the week leading up to the big day, Stacey remained so cool. The rain forecast was not looking great, but she continued to advocate for me with our venue to stick to our plan of an outdoor ceremony. Even in all the rain and last minute decision making, Stacey never showed an ounce of worry. On top of all of this going on, she also set up our decor and helped tear it all down, which is definitely not a one-person job. Everything was so beautiful and went as smooth as possible. We could not have done any of it without Stacey. So if you're still thinking about it, just do it! Book Sarah Elizabeth Events, you will not regret it.

Sarah was so great to work with!!! We literally could not have done it without her. She was so kind and positive as well and made everything easier. She helped the months prior to the wedding with timeline and came to appointments with us, and was amazing on the day of! I felt so much better having her there to take care of everything, including a million small things I never would have thought of. She’s the best, definitely worth it!!!

Sarah is the best! We were looking for a day of coordinator for our wedding at Roaring Camp, but we ended up hiring Sarah for more than just day of coordinating! She took two very overwhelmed lovebirds and really helped us through the planning process. She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and positive. On the day of the wedding, she was amazing! We didn't feel one ounce of stress because we knew Sarah had everything under control! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator!
