The best decision you’ll make after choosing your partner is choosing Sara Landon.

We originally found Sara when looking for planners in the upstate New York area, fell in love with her on our phone interview, and then were sad to change our plans to a small and intimate destination wedding to a rural island in the Bahamas. As the coordination logistics in getting guests to the Bahamas became more complicated it was clear we needed help, so we immediately called Sara back and booked her.

Best decision ever. Sara is, all rolled into one, a highly organized planner, a motivational coach, a cruise ship director, an artistic visionary, a therapist, a masterful negotiator, a shoulder to cry on, and a friend to have a laugh with. We hired Sara three days before our site visit fully expecting to go on our own and she showed up to be there with us — an international trip during Covid — on three days notice. We found out there was no florist on the island - no problem, Sara foraged for flowers and leaves and built our arrangements herself. Our band, makeup artist, priest, and entertainment all threatened to no-show - no problem, Sara made secondary and tertiary plans and never even let us know there was an issue. Sara even signed our marriage license when we ran into some trouble with getting our priest to do it.

Probably the best part about working with Sara is that she made us feel like we were the only bride and groom she was handling. Our guests raved about her and her team and she worked tirelessly (literally, 7am to 2am on our wedding day after a whole week of other events) to make sure every detail was perfect.

Don’t think twice about hiring Sara, no matter how big or small your wedding. You won’t regret it!

Sara Landon and her team are absolutely unbelievable to work with. My husband and I got engaged at the tail end of 2020 and knew we wanted to get married within the next 12 months - landing on December 4th, 2021 at City Winery in New York City.

While originally contracting Sara for the month of the wedding, she also supported us with design and my many questions leading up to the event. She created a vision with our florist and venue that allowed us to lean into the holiday season, developing what can only be described as a magic - candles, greenery, pops of red and evergreen trees.

Throughout the entire process Sara was attentive, professional, knowledgable and, most importantly, FUN. She took every ounce of stress out of the wedding day and kept our rather large bridal party (18 people + bride and groom) and vendors (shuttles, florists, bakery, photo booth, band, photographers) organized and on time. I feel like I made a friend for life having had the privilege to work with her and I'm looking for excuses to work with her again. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

I was a bride in California and although Sara is based in NYC she does weddings all over the country. Thank god! She tailored her package to fit my needs and she charged a fair price. From the first conversation I knew she could handle my ocean side dream day and wasn’t worried about my “do it yourself” personal touches. She took me from overwhelmed to enjoying my weekend from start to finish. My husband and I would both highly recommend Sara to anyone planning an event. I am forever thankful for her.

Sara and her SL Events team was top notch! I was able to stay so relaxed and in the moment the day of our wedding because of Sara and her team.

Sara, Stephanie, and Efren took care of all of the details so that my husband and I could just focus on having the time of our lives. Especially the day of, Brian and I were so happy to have Sara and her team there. Efren, in particular, was so attentive and just a true joy to be around. He took care of every detail from my veil and train to my tear-stained eye makeup after the ceremony and kept my husband and me laughing throughout the day. He was also my advocate when I needed a break from pictures or to escape from a conversation.

Sara coordinated with all of the vendors and made fantastic recommendations throughout the planning process.

We don't know where to start except to say that we are soooo appreciative of Sara and her team. We hired Sara for a month of coordinator package, and she stepped in one month prior to our wedding (although she never hesitated at all to get on the phone with us well in advance of the month prior to answer any and all of our questions and assist with vendor recommendations). No question was silly for Sara - she answered everything so thoroughly and confidently. We know that there was a ton of behind the scenes work that she did in the month leading up to our wedding, and we are so thankful for all her organization and instruction, but we were just blown away by how smoothly everything went on wedding day. We felt at ease the entire day knowing that she had everything under control. She took care of requests immediately, made us feel relaxed and calm, and allowed us to feel like guests not hosts. We had the most special night and are thrilled with how everything turned out. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. It was such a pleasure to work with her, and we will be sending her referrals for years to come!!!

I can't say enough about the professionalism of Sara and her colleague. At every turn, Sara made us calm and took care of us like relaxed, honored guests at our own wedding (as we wanted). Sara is the unique, highly skilled expert who never seemed interested in anything but our vision and making it come to life. At the same time, when there were last-minute things we couldn't have envisioned (as there always are), she had the steady hand to guide us. Even more, she made our parents, our families, our friends, all feel like they were at the greatest party without a care in the world. We are a demanding duo, one working in fashion, one working in media, and both used to seeing execution of the highest levels. Sara came through on every detail, even advising us where there were opportunities to get our experience without overspending along the way. If you have dreamed of your wedding, but also of really experiencing it, rather than executing on your own, you could not choose better than Sara. We will never forget the great job she did, as her skills, vision, and patience gave us a day we will remember forever.

What can we say...Sara and her team are absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I live in London and wanted to have a yacht wedding in New York. We started planning our wedding with SL Events a year and a half ago, and Sara was with us every step of the way. Her bubbling personality, knowledge of wedding planning and vendors, and immense professionalism, allowed my husband and I to plan the wedding of our dreams! On the day of our wedding, Sara and her assistant provided unparalleled organisation and liaison not only with our family and friends, but with venue and vendors. This provided my husband and I with a stress free day, and the opportunity to fully enjoy our wedding. We would highly recommend SL Events for your wedding day planning!

While planning our wedding, my husband and I came across a catering company based in Brooklyn and reached out. We were contacted by Sara, and from our first phone call, it was apparent she was going to be amazing. She immediately presented genuine interest in us and our needs - at no point did we ever feel like we were just more 'business' for her. She is a consummate professional, in that she tended to have an answer for questions before we knew we were going to ask them, and is so personable we felt completely comfortable in her capable hands. We came to these conclusions BEFORE we even met her in person at our tasting, where she proved to be all these things and more. She led us through a delightful, charming evening of food and conversation, further concreting our knowledge that we'd chosen the absolute best person to work with. She was really interested in getting to know US and what was going to make our night the best event. There was minimal work on our end because of her commitment, and she was aligned with the catering - we didn't hire her directly as a planner! She took care of so many things that we didn't even realize we'd need to take care of, and it made a drastic difference in how much effort was required on all parts. Cut to the day of the wedding - she met us at the venue, helped us set up our personal decor, managed the setup of the space, managed the team working the event - in short, she made our night go off without a hitch. We could not have had a better experience, from inception to conclusion, had we not been able to work with Sara.

To sum up, Sara's drive and enthusiasm to go above and beyond for her clients and her passion for the work are but a few of her stand-out qualities. Add in that she's a really nice, great person, and you've got yourself the best choice possible. To all who read this - don't be foolish, don't shop around - JUST WORK WITH SARA.

We hired SL Events to provide day-of coordination services for our January 13, 2018 wedding at the Rainbow Room. Sara came highly recommended by family friends who used her for a wedding the previous autumn. Without a doubt, Sara's fee was the best money we spent on the wedding. Sara advertises "day-of" coordination, but she was available for the full six or so weeks prior to the wedding to answer questions and manage all logistics. She was also available even earlier than that -- she happily answered a few planning-related questions and provided helpful recommendations. In the month leading up to my wedding, I was not in contact with any of my vendors -- Sara handled it all -- and I felt completely confident handing over the full extent of the logistical work to her. She is calm, collected, flexible, approachable, and fun. She totally understood what my anxieties were, and she made sure that they were all ironed out perfectly. She put together an EPIC timeline for the whole day of the wedding, but more important than that, I didn't even have to look at it once -- she made sure that everyone knew where they were supposed to be and when. All I had to focus on was staying calm and having fun. At the wedding itself, Sara kept me and my husband on task in a positive, energetic, and un-aggressive way; she made sure the night flowed perfectly, but we never felt like we were being rushed or pushed around. Also, Sara and her assistant Eric did the most marvelous job bustling my complicated, over-the-top dress. They made sure that neither my mother nor any other wedding guests had to be taken away from their party to help with this task; and they did a beautiful job at it. And we laughed a lot while they were at it!
Summary: Sara is a consummate professional. She is incredibly good at an incredibly difficult job. She is positive, upbeat, understanding, and calming. I cannot imagine what we would have done without her. Hire her; you will not regret it.

If you want a wedding planner you can trust, have confidence in, put you at ease and make your dream wedding go off without a hitch....HIRE SL EVENTS! Sara is an extraordinary person who is truly passionate at what she does. We gave her full reigns to execute the wedding of our dreams and she pulled it off flawlessly. Any little hiccup that came up was quickly and quietly handled where my husband and I didn't even have a clue. My family all knew to take ques from Sara on how the day would run and it was a huge relief for us.

At the end of the night, by some miracle (aka Sara!), all of our DIY decor and personal items from the venue made it back with us. We are talking 2 HUGE car loads full. Sara gave us the ability to actually enjoy our special day and not stress about the small stuff. Like the bride, me, totally forgetting to put on deodorant that day. Sara and her assistant were close by with a stick ready to go!

We could not have asked for a more amazing planner for our wedding. We are forever grateful to Sara for all of her hard work and friendship.
