10/10 Would Recommend!
Seamless, Graceful, Exceptional
We had a big, joyful Greek wedding followed by a 200+ person reception at the The Drake Hotel, so there were a lot of moving parts, traditions, personalities, and logistics to manage. Abigail handled every single moment with grace, precision, and genuine care. She was incredibly organized, proactive, and always ten steps ahead.
What impressed me most was how seamlessly she navigated both the large-scale production elements and the intimate, emotional moments. She protected the flow of the day while still making me and my husband feel fully present. So many of our guests, and even our vendors, commented on her professionalism and expertise. You could feel that she was deeply respected in the room.
Abigail held the entire experience, from our many online meetings to walk throughs to the final day with calm confidence. If you’re looking for someone who will execute your vision flawlessly while also being a steady, reassuring presence, she is it.
We are endlessly grateful. 🤍
Perfect Day-Of Coordinator!
We also brought in a lot of our own décor and did many of the reception florals ourselves, and Alyssa was so helpful in setting everything up exactly how we envisioned it. Knowing she was taking care of all of that allowed us to fully enjoy the morning without worrying about a thing.
Even though our venue included on-site coordinators, their focus was mainly on venue-specific tasks. Alyssa, on the other hand, was with us the entire day and knew every detail that mattered specifically to us. Her calm, positive energy was exactly what you want on your wedding day. She made everything feel easy, and I honestly can’t imagine not having her there.
Because she handled everything behind the scenes, I never had to stress about the small things. I was able to be fully present and simply enjoy the day, which is something I’m so grateful for.
If you’re considering hiring a day-of coordinator, I cannot recommend Sarah Kathleen Events and Alyssa enough. She misses no details, brings a steady and supportive energy, and truly made our day run seamlessly. You will be in the best hands!
The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding
Abigail anticipated our needs before we even knew them, handled any hiccups behind the scenes so we did not have to worry for a single second, and made sure that everything we had envisioned came to life perfectly. She worked seamlessly with our families, bridal party, and vendors, and everyone commented on how smooth and stress free the day felt.
Beyond her skill and attention to detail, Abigail’s warmth and kindness stood out the most. She truly cared about making our day special and personal to us. We can honestly say our wedding would not have run without her, and we are endlessly grateful for all of her hard work and heart.
If you are on the fence about hiring a planner or coordinator, do not think twice. Abigail is the reason our day was as magical and stress free as it was. We could not recommend her more highly.
