Full Planning Package - Unbelievable Worth It

We truly cannot recommend Sasha enough! Our wedding was super complex, and we used her full All Hands on Deck planning package. There's no way we could've pulled it off without her. From start to finish, she brought an incredible amount of energy, thoughtfulness, and care to every single detail.

One of the things that impressed us most was how well she remembered everything we told her, even the tiniest details from conversations months earlier. We always felt heard and understood, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. She was wonderful about listening to our ideas, offering her own suggestions, and helping us think through possibilities we might never have considered ourselves. Just as importantly, she never made us feel pressured to go with a suggestion if we weren't in love with it. She was always supportive and easy to talk to about any idea.

She took the time to understand what mattered to us and turned our ideas into something even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The day after our wedding, the word we kept hearing from our guests was how "thoughtful" everything felt. That is the best way to sum up (while never being able to say enough) Sasha and our experience. Book her immediately.

You need a wedding coordinator

Sasha was amazing and helped me with all the little details and the last minute planning. She executed my vision perfectly. I am so glad that I hired her as a day of coordinator. I wish I used her for all my wedding planning but honestly just the day of was perfect. She helped with the timeline of everything. The day ran so smooth I couldn’t have asked for it to go better! It was a rainy day so we had to bring some tables inside and everything looked perfect just how I wanted it to! I am so grateful that I got to work with Sasha and would absolutely hire her again even though I plan on not getting married again! She’s that good!

Amazing!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Sasha! I almost didn’t hire a coordinator because I had most of the planning handled myself, and I am SO incredibly grateful that I did! Hiring Sasha was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Leading up to the wedding, she was so helpful, thoughtful, and kind. She even called me two days before our wedding just to calm my nerves because I was panicking about the rain forecast for our outdoor wedding.

And thank goodness we had her, because the weather definitely kept us on our toes! She had everything beautifully set up outside, and then it started raining an hour before the ceremony. Without missing a beat, Sasha rearranged everything multiple times, found a break in the rain for our ceremony, and completely transformed the inside of the house for cocktail hour and dinner. I cannot explain how impressive that was! One minute it looked like a normal house, and the next it looked like the indoor setup had been the plan all along! She even managed to move our reception back outside and adjusted the timeline throughout the evening to fit in our dances, speeches, and sunset photos.

Through ALL of this, Sasha and her assistant handled absolutely everything with so much positivity, energy, and kindness. I never once felt like I needed to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. I was able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding day, and that is something I will forever be grateful for.

Sasha didn’t just make our wedding run smoothly, she made the entire day so much more fun! If you’re considering hiring her, DO IT! I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️

The best wedding planner I've ever seen

You've never seen a wedding planner work as hard as Sasha: for months leading up to the event taking care of everything, and on the day of the wedding she ran every vendor, decoration, and event to a T. I highly recommend Sasha you will have no worries on your wedding day!

Sasha for president

If I could give Sasha a 1000000000/10 I would. I spoke to a lot of planners before I found her and when I met her, it was so clear she was the best. She works so hard to make the planning experience stress free, she understands me and my priorities, she’s funny and nice and hard working. My wedding was a success solely because of her. She cares so much and spent so much time with me through the process. I would get married again just to do this process again with her 💕 anyone would be lucky to have her support and help💕

Absolutely Wonderful to Work With

Sasha was absolutely wonderful to work with! Planning a wedding in Corolla from Charlotte came with plenty of moving pieces, but she made everything feel easy. She was organized, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful about all the little details that made our wedding feel personal to us.

Even with a questionable weather forecast leading up to the wedding, Sasha had everything covered, and made sure we could simply enjoy the weekend. On the wedding day, we were able to be fully present with each other, our family, and friends because we knew Sasha was handling everything behind the scenes. We are so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone planning an Outer Banks wedding!

Sasha is the best!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator in Sasha! From the very beginning, she was always incredibly responsive, answering every question quickly and making the entire planning process feel so much easier.

On our wedding day, she made sure everything ran seamlessly and that every detail was exactly as we envisioned. She truly went above and beyond to make the day feel perfect, special, and unforgettable. Most importantly, she took all of the stress off of us so we could simply enjoy every moment together with our family and friends.

Her professionalism, organization, and genuine care made all the difference. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make their wedding day as smooth and memorable as possible. Thank you, Sasha, for helping make our dream wedding a reality!

Absolutely PERFECT! Thank you, Sasha!! 🙏

I’d be thrilled to recommend Sasha and Smooth Sailing Weddings to anyone planning a wedding. From the very beginning to the very last dance, everything was absolutely perfect, and that is due in no small part to Sasha’s incredible work.

We had never planned anything remotely close to a wedding before, so the entire process felt overwhelming at first. Sasha immediately put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable, confident, and supported every step of the way. She provided us with amazing resources and local vendor recommendations, scheduled regular check-ins to keep us on track, and was always willing to jump on an emergency call whenever we felt stuck or had a last-minute question.

What truly sets Sasha apart is how well she understands not just the logistics of a wedding, but the emotions that come with it. She took the time to get to know us—including meeting us for coffee the week before the wedding just so we’d have that extra level of comfort and familiarity going into such an important day. She understood our vision completely and helped turn it into something even more beautiful than we imagined.

On the wedding day itself, Sasha was nothing short of amazing. There were several moments where I found myself internally panicking, trying to remember everything that still needed to happen. Every single time, Sasha’s calm presence made it feel like she had everything completely under control. She somehow knew exactly what to say at exactly the right moment, helping me stop worrying about the details and refocus on what really mattered: that I was about to marry the love of my life. Those little moments meant more than I can express.

She also handled everyone else’s questions and concerns throughout the day, allowing us, our families, and our wedding party to simply enjoy the experience instead of fielding constant inquiries. Her assistant even smiled and said, “Everything is going to be Smooth Sailing,” and honestly, there couldn’t have been a more perfect description of the entire day.

Behind the scenes, Sasha orchestrated everything flawlessly. The setup was exactly as we had envisioned, and everything looked absolutely beautiful. She kept the entire day flowing effortlessly, making sure we stayed on schedule for photos, our entrance, our first dance, and every other important moment. We could not have pulled any of it off without her expertise.

Beyond being an exceptional planner, Sasha is simply an incredibly kind, genuine, and fun person to work with. Wedding planning can be stressful, but she made the entire experience enjoyable. We always felt like she genuinely cared about us and wanted our day to be as special as possible.

If you’re considering hiring Smooth Sailing Weddings, don’t hesitate. Sasha didn’t just help us plan a wedding—she gave us the peace of mind to be fully present and enjoy the best day of our lives. We will always be grateful for everything she did, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Five stars isn’t enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
