Best decision we made!

I could write a book about Sarah, truly. We hired her because we could tell right off the bat that she knew her stuff, and for her experience working with our venue, Union Mills Public House. Sarah was instrumental throughout the wedding planning process in helping our vision come together and answering any and all questions we had pop up. Whether it was helping me choose the right rugs that matched the venue, to helping us create a ceremony layout that fit our vision, to helping me understand exactly how much of everything we needed. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was extremely communicative with both us and our vendors, ensuring that everything was absolutely in line. I can't event count the amount of times that my husband and I looked at each other and went "we literally could not have done this without Sarah." We had a lofty vision with a ton of details, and every single one of them was taken into account by Sarah and her team the day of. She kept the timeline moving incredibly well - working in step with the caterers, our photographer, videographer, DJ, and even our family members and wedding party.

You can just tell that there is so much passion in the way that Sarah works. It was so easy to develop the level of trust in her and her team to bring together the best day of our lives, and hiring her as our coordinator was by far the best decision we made in our planning process.

Best in the business

Sarah is truly one of a kind. We knew she was our coordinator the second we met her. She made me feel so at peace knowing my details were handled. I loved her flexibility and multiple options for planning and coordination so you could truly customize your experience. She was there for my husband and I every step of the way, and she always had all the answers. My wedding turned out so beautiful, and it was all thanks to her and her team!!

Would recommend to anyone we know!

I cannot express enough how thankful we are that we hired Sarah as our day-of coordinator. On our wedding day, and the weeks leading up to it, she truly went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly.

Sarah was incredibly organized, managing the timeline flawlessly. Every detail was executed perfectly, from the setup of the ceremony to the flow of the reception. It was evident that she had a great rapport with all the vendors, which made communication seamless. Beyond the logistics, Sarah was extremely friendly and made everyone feel comfortable.

We received many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything ran, and we owe it all to Sarah. We definitely recommend Sleeping Bee Designs to any couple planning their wedding!
