We couldn’t be happier with the services that Aly Smith provided us leading up to our wedding and especially on our wedding day, she is a true professional! 2020 was a hard year for us all, especially while planning a wedding. The minute we decided to postpone from our date in May to October, Aly was right there with us and provided a calming voice to assure us that it’s all going to be okay! She worked with us to make arrangements to change the date and contact our vendors. She was flexible with our new date, our change of plans, and on the day of the wedding really shined with her expertise. While our new plan probably entailed a lot more work then she had anticipated (because it was truly a backyard wedding), her response that it’s no problem, and her goal is to make sure we had no worries and had the best day ever. We are so grateful to have chosen Satin and Sage Events and loved worked with Aly!

We hired Aly for the month of coordinator services and I should have hired her for the full-service package! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She helped coordinate our wedding at the Gramercy Mansion in June of 2019 and made sure that our day ran smoothly and wonderfully. Our day ended up being magical thanks to Aly.
Leading up to the wedding Aly dealt with every single small detail, she made sure that all our vendors were on the same page and timeline and established a relationship with each point of contact. Aly thought of questions and things that definitely would have slipped our minds. She is an upbeat, friendly, and calming personality which was exactly what we needed on our day. Aly did everything and anything in her power to make sure the entire day was perfect for us and I could not have imaged the day without her. Do not hesitate to hire Aly as your wedding coordinator! She is a lifesaver and ensured we were able to completely enjoy the day and not worry about a thing.

We hired Aly to help us plan our wedding at the Frederick Douglass in August of 2018. She was a tremendous help through the entire process and we could not be happier with her services!

Aly was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. She was detailed, thorough, and on top of everything we asked her to do and even things we didn't ask for. She made sure to check in with us and keep us on track, reminding us of what we needed to have done at each step of the planning process.

During the actual wedding weekend, Aly was incredibly professional and helpful all weekend. She did a ton of the behind the scenes work for us so that we could enjoy our wedding day worry free. From handling gift bags to organizing the photographers to helping with the catering logistics at the venue, she was on top of everything on the day of our wedding!

We used Aly in her capacity as a partial planner, so we can't speak to her negotiating directly with vendors. However, none of our experiences with her would make us doubt her ability to do so effectively.

Aly was everything we were looking for in a wedding planner and would definitely recommend her for anybody looking for a wedding planner in the future!
