Highly Recommend Sidney!!

Absolutely loved working with Sidney! She is incredibly creative, organized, and thoughtful - always going above and beyond to truly understand our vision. Sidney brought our wedding dreams to life in ways we never imagined, elevating our ideas and connecting us with the perfect vendors. She’s practical yet whimsical, a great listener, and genuinely wonderful to be around. Sidney anticipated our needs before we even realized them, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. While we were, of course, thrilled to be married, it was bittersweet when the wedding was over because it meant we wouldn’t get to talk to her as often. Highly recommend Sidney - you won’t regret it!

Sid is your best bet for a caring, kind, creative wedding planner.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sid both as a bridesmaid for a wedding and as her assistant at a wedding. In both settings, I have seen how she brings expertise, care, and fun to everything she does for her brides and for her guests.

She’s a former nurse, so she brings that level of care, attention, and “do whatever needs to be done” attitude to your wedding. She has an outstanding artistic vision, creates beautiful wedding suites, and thinks deeply about the guest experience at every turn. She always has a smile on, but she still takes everything so seriously and ensures that whatever you want your wedding day to look and feel like, it will.

In short, I can’t recommend Sid enough for anyone looking to have an outstanding experience as a bride or groom on their wedding day.

Game changer and a must for any wedding

I am an extremely Type A person and was unsure if I truly needed a coordinator for my wedding day. However, when I met Sidney, I knew without any doubt I needed her to be part of my special day. This was the biggest game changer and easily the best decision I made which made my wedding day so smooth and enjoyable. She has great attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and great attitude. Sidney is vibrant and energetic, and working with her felt like trusting one of your close friends. I deeply appreciate how she could handle anything and everything. She is professional, organized, and great at communicating. Highly recommend!
