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!

Aly was so amazing to work with for my dream of a wedding day. She made sure we had nothing to worry about through the whole planning process and especially on the day of. We hired her for full planning services and she delivered in spades. She was always prompt in her responses, and she really helped me narrow down my choices to book the right vendors and choose the right finishes to create my vision. When it came to the day of she designed and staged every element incorporated in our day. She kept things running smoothly and made sure to keep us all on track. I would highly recommend working with her for planning, she makes life just so much simpler! So thankful for you, Aly!

Aly was an absolute dream to work with. We chose Aly for our day of coordinator, and it was the best choice (besides my husband) that I made! Not only did she take care of literally every detail on our big day (which was riddled with major family emergencies as well as the possibility of snow....in APRIL!) she made it seem effortless and really kept our tightly timed wedding absolutely on track. The day was a whirlwind and thanks to Aly, I never had to worry about a thing. Not even my lipstick!

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service that Aly provided. We had to scramble to find a planner due to a misunderstanding with our venue and the now pressing need to find a day-of coordinator. Both planners we reached out to via Wedding Wire were booked. Luckily, one of them recommended Aly. From the moment we met her, we knew we would be hiring her - even though we had more meetings lined up. She was relaxed, smart, experienced and kind. She asked all the necessary questions and was able to answer all the questions we had. We were already one year into our two-year engagement and had already booked all of our vendors at that point. We honestly didn’t need a lot of help but she was there for us whenever we asked. The night before and the day of the wedding is when Aly really surpassed our expectations. She made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. When an issue arose with the venue and my wife and I’s food, she immediately made sure it was corrected. She even stopped eating her meal to deal with the problem. She kept everything on time and in order based off our prepared wedding schedule. We can’t imagine our big day without having Aly there for us. If we had to do it again, Aly would be there again, no question. We now truly consider her to be a friend (she even partied with us after the reception). How cool is that?!

If I could give Aly more than 5 stars, I would without blinking. As an old friend, I immediately went to her with wedding questions, knowing that I would need her services to plan my own wedding. I knew that our wedding would be held in South Carolina and Aly was excited to take on the task of planning a long distance wedding. She was an asset from the beginning - she helped us venue search, find vendors, and stay in our budget. Aly met with me frequently, as well as had meetings with my now husband and my mom. She even FaceTimed in for vendor meetings that took place in South Carolina.
She made our wedding day an absolute DREAM. Having never seen the venue other than through photos or videos, she intricately put everything together like she had planned multiple weddings there. She took care of every single detail that day so I could enjoy the morning with my bridesmaids. Aly even put together beautiful table centerpieces last minute (at 2pm for the 5pm ceremony) when she realized that I had left the planned centerpieces at my home in Charleston - all while keeping me calm.
Aly made sure that I kept a full glass of champagne the whole night, and was attentive to our immediate family so that they could enjoy the night as well. I can't put into any real words how thankful I am for Aly, her organizational and creative skills, and her friendship.

Aly is absolutely amazing! We can’t say enough great things about her. From helping us find a venue, to booking vendors, to making sure we had a moment to eat on our wedding day, Aly was able to make our wedding and the planning process as painless as possible. We talked with multiple planners before choosing Aly. We chose her because she was a rare combination of down-to-earth and outgoing, organized and professional, and experienced in her field. She helped us through every stage in the wedding planning process and was always easy to get ahold of. As PhD and medical students, we both work more than 60hours/wk, so finding a planner who would keep us on track and sane through planning was key for us- and we hit a home run with Aly. Though her planning was indispensable, where Aly really shined was on the wedding day itself where she kept us relaxed, on schedule, and fed. We wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day, and Aly helped make it that way.

I cannot express how thankful I am to Aly and all of her hard work for our wedding. She was such an incredible resource (and support system) in navigating this insane industry and making our day perfect. I always appreciated having her as a sounding board for ideas and to help make my crazy ones come true. She also has great style and an eye for design.

She works hard, is organized and makes sure things get done, while being a calm and wonderful person to be around -- I am still baffled how she does it.

Aly was an indispensable part of our wedding planning process and I could not recommend her more highly.

Aly was absolutely amazing, I can not say enough great things about her. I used her as my month of coordinator and she really helped make sure I was organized and was not missing anything. She also took a lot off my plate as the event neared. She didn't miss any details and made sure myself and my now husband were well taken care of the night of our wedding (we actually got to eat dinner!!). Aly is brilliant at what she does!
