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.

Sbd is fantastic!

Sarah and the SBD team were so great to work with!! From the beginning, Sarah established clear communication and really went above and beyond to help us make sure our wedding day was great and help us feel at ease that she would be there with us on the day. We had a unique and clear vision for how our day would go that mixed elements from different cultures and Sarah really helped us shape our ideas into an amazing experience. Seriously -- she helped lead a Baraat!! It was incredible! She asked insightful questions that helped us consider new ideas and REALLY paid attention to all details. We can't say this enough -- Sarah made sure that no detail was forgotten. She was a blast to work with and we would hire her again in a heartbeat! You might not think you need a Sarah but then you start planning your wedding and meet Sarah, and then you wonder how you could go down this road without her! She is the glue that helped keep everything together.

Thank you!

If you are planning a wedding, you must have Sarah and her team included in on the planning and coordinating! From the very start, Sarah has been a sense of calm in the business that planning brings. We instantly clicked with her! It wasn’t easy for us in planning since we had some setbacks come up within the year but she kept us together with communicating with other vendors and on track for the actual date to run smoothly. You can really tell that she has great connections with a lot of vendors in the area! She was responsive to any questions and made herself available if anything popped up. On the day, my mom wasn’t able to help me get into my dress due to health setbacks and Sarah stepped in without any hesitations. A moment that I’m truly thankful for! We didn’t have to worry about the small stuff because we knew Sarah could handle the good and the bad! Many and many thanks to Sarah for playing such a crucial role and being part of our wedding!
