About

Hi! I'm SarahFrench, of SarahFrench Events. Most days you can find me in my pretty, admittedly messy office in West Philadelphia (not born and raised ;) ) surrounded by post-it notes, half empty mugs of tea and coffee and a lot of quotes. (One of my all time favorites: Love a Little More, Hustle a Little Less). I believe in love and doing all things with love. (Even if we don't end up working together, I want to be sure you're set up to have the wedding of your dreams!) I believe that every love story is epic. But most importantly, I believe that every couple deserves a wedding day just as beautiful and unique as the love story that got you there.

I love working with couples that are focused on their marriage as well as their wedding day. Couples that are so excited to get married they can't stop grinning on their wedding day. I love couples that email me and text me with questions--because you should have some time to really enjoy your engagement. I can track down the perfect on budget photographer. Promise.

What makes me unique?

Well, I offer payment plans that are based on your budget and needs.

I've been an event planner for..14 years. I like to joke that I've worked in almost every sub-industry possible in my field (It's not that much of a joke really)

I don't believe in the phrase "can't do ______ at a wedding" (Seriously. If you want to do it, short of breaking a law, I'll make it happen.) Whether that be skipping every formality or having a roast style toast--we'll make it happen

I really enjoy meeting with my couples frequently throughout the planning process (regardless of your package) because I want them to feel supported and loved.

I love to travel for work and for pleasure (which doesn't make me *that* unique but does answer the oft-asked question of where I work.) Mainly Philadelphia, but have wedding will travel is my motto.

That all sounds great but...what are your "packages"?

Well, they're all custom based on your needs (no two love stories are the same, so no two wedding planning packages should be). But as a general rule, I offer Month of Coordination (Day of Event Coordination is a complete misnomer), Partial Planning, "Engaged to We Do!" (Full Planning), Research and Wedding BFF!

But the best way to find out the best package for you is to send me an email and set up a call. <3

An absolute dream to work with

As soon as my now-wife accepted my proposal, I knew that we were going to need a wedding planner, and not just any wedding planner, Sarah French Events. Our faith was accurately placed. She was attentive, professional, and took the time to understand our vision for our wedding, making excellent vendor suggestions from her vast connections. There were multiple times we were ready to settle for something and she made us wait, because she knew someone or something better that was still within our budget. When we needed, she interceded on our behalf with vendors, negotiating better rates or making sure they followed through on their contracts. She accompanied my wife when she needed to get a different dress, helping her pick one that took my breath away. She was hands on in vendor meetings, making sure my wife (and I) were heard and that the vendors followed through on our vision, even when it went against their instincts, even if it took multiple meetings to ensure that they understood what was requested. As a day-of coordinator, she had the day of the wedding timed out to the minute, meaning that parts of the evening that normally go long (or so I’ve heard) ran like clockwork, without a hitch. Endlessly creative, she created some of our favorite decor items (like our seating chart) herself. She ensured that every room looked better than we could have imagined when we entered; my wife literally jumped for joy when we entered the dining room of the reception. When we needed to be talked down from the stress of planning, she was there to talk us down. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sarah is the BEST!!!

Sarah goes ABOVE and BEYOND. She was constantly reaching out and checking in and was a vital part of our wedding planning. She uses her knowledge and experience to help you think of all the little details and plan and prepare for anything that comes your way. Not only was she an invaluable part of the planning process, she really really shines day of! We had so many people commenting on how incredible Sarah was all weekend. “She is so on top of it”, “So Organized.” “There isn’t a question she can’t answer”, just to name a few. We even had a little emergency day of and she jumped to action to make sure I was doing okay and was kind, understanding and helpful while getting everything/everyone back on track. I honestly believe that our wedding would not have been possible without Sarah, it was the best investment of our wedding HANDS DOWN!! Not only is Sarah an incredibly wedding planner, she is a great human being and we had so so so much fun working with her over the last year!!!

I had the pleasure of working with SarahFrench on a wedding that was at a quirky location, catered by food trucks, and held on a rainy day. SarahFrench had an actual Rainy Day Plan. I've heard people talk about this before, but this was the first time that encountered an actual plan. The event went off without a hitch, and that is solely because of SarahFrench. You might not think you need a wedding coordinator, but having someone with a level head and a lot of experience will make your wedding day stress-free. I highly recommend her services.
