Choose Stephanie, you won't regret it!

If you’re considering whether or not you need a day of coordinator, get with Stephanie at Sweet Gardenia Weddings, you’ll thank yourself later! We could not be happier with our choice and Stephanie was amazing from beginning to end. We felt a good vibe from our initial consultation and that carried through to each meeting and our wedding day.

She was organized, asked all the right questions and took a lot off of our plate. She took care of all of the little details that you don’t have time to think of on your big day and handled communications with our vendors. She looked out for us and made sure our wants and needs were her top priority, we definitely felt catered to as a couple.

As stressful as wedding planning is, we are so incredibly thankful to have had Stephanie by our side through the process. She is an incredible person with a passion to make your big day unforgettable. Our only regret is not having hired her sooner!

Stephanie is amazing!!

Stephanie was so great to work with. I was a very anxious bride and Stephanie helped ease my worries throughout the planning process. I cannot imagine what our wedding day would have been like without her- she worked hard to make everything go very smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to truly enjoy our special day. I definitely recommend working with her!

Forever Grateful!!

Thanks to Stephanie, my husband and I were able to live out our dream wedding. I cannot even begin to describe her amazing work ethic and quality of work without pointing our her wonderful character as a person. Stephanie listened and connected with us in such a diligent way to make sure every detail in our wedding was impeccable. Her endless vendor connections, knowledge, and work ethic created an event that left my family and I speechless. On top of that, Stephanie communicated with us amazingly giving the fact the we lived in a complete different city. To any couple who is looking to have the most fun and beautiful experience during the planning of their wedding and most importantly on wedding day, Sweet Gardenia Weddings is the only best option!!! We are forever grateful for everything that she gave us!!

You Won't Be Disappointed!

Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with! I found her when I felt like I was drowning. She swooped right in and always made me feel like everything was going to turn out perfect (which it did!). I was not an easy client as I procrastinated on literally everything but she was always so sweet and nice and made sure things ran smoothly. If I had to do it again, I'd hire Stephanie in a heartbeat! She's knowledgeable in every aspect and knows how to keep things in your budget.

Book her asap!

Stephanie was the best thing to have happened to me for my wedding. I booked her last minute with a week to spare until my wedding and she executed everything I needed and even helped me make my seating chart because she saw how stressed I was. She made sure I had and wanted everything on my special day. I literally forgot my bouquet and was about to walk down the aisle and she was literally The Flash and ran everywhere to find it for me with the venue staff and they found it!!! Can't recommend her enough. I wish I booked with her sooner!

Hire her. even if you think you know what you are doing

When we started the wedding planning process I was dead set against having a wedding coordinator. Part of my job is to plan events, so I figured that planning a wedding is no harder than planning a robotics tournament. Turns out there is minimal similarities. At the insistence of my MiL and the recommendation at Bridal Connection, we hired Stephanie and she turned out to be the most important person we brought onto our wedding planning team.

She took my handful of jumbled ideas for a non traditional wedding and helped me realize my wedding vision and we pulled off an amazing experience for us and our guests! With her help, we found the balance between extremely nerdy and elegant and turned Star Wars, robots, and dinosaurs into a realistic wedding theme.

Stephanie is so easy to work with! Her checklists are fantastic and cover every detail you can think of, and even more that you didn't think of. She cares about her couples and made our day magical!

I can not say enough good things about her, 10/10 highly recommend!

Hire her!!

Stephanie was fantastic!! She really put us at ease the month before our wedding. She was always quick to respond / get responses from vendors. My husband and I are big planners so we did a lot of work prior to her helping us but she was still able to point out very important things/details we didn’t even think of. We had a catholic wedding and Stephanie was aware of church guidelines/rules and was she was very respectful of them. We had an issue with our reception venue/florist that was unfortunate but Stephanie and her assistant Clarissa were on top of it. We felt like we truly could just relax and have fun the day of our wedding because she was there. She got along great with our family and friends and was quick to address their needs the day of the wedding.

After the wedding Stephanie was sweet enough to reach out and check on us and even gave us a recap of what happened behind the scenes. I really appreciated her transparency. I still wasn’t happy with what happened with the florist and Stephanie was very understanding. She was nice enough to reach out to the florist after the fact to try and assist us in resolving the issues. During the entire process/after the wedding, she truly cared/advocated for us to make sure we were happy. I really recommend that you hire Stephanie and her team for your upcoming wedding you won’t regret it! You want someone like her on your side

The absolute best!

Stephanie is so connected in the community, every vendor knew her name and was excited we were working with her. She was the absolute best planner possible, completely engaged and always going above and beyond. She even perfectly matched out theme for the wedding with her outfit! She also was so wonderful and supportive of us as an trans queer couple. Can't recommend highly enough!

Flawless, creative, professional

I cannot imaging going through the process of planning and hosting a wedding without Stephanie’s expertise and hands-on involvement. She knows the ins and outs of the entire industry and the San Antonio wedding scene, and she executed our plans flawlessly. For a couple planning a wedding from out of town, she provided an invaluable service. The event itself ran perfectly thanks to her hard work and dedication. I recommend Stephanie without any reservations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
