5 stars doesn’t feel like enough! Sam truly was incredible in making our wedding day run smoothly. Not a detail was missed, and we absolutely would not have had such a successful wedding without her. We hired her very late into our planning process, and with only two weeks before the big day, she jumped in without hesitation. When we ended up 20 minutes behind on the timeline during the wedding, she didn’t panic. Instead, she reassured us it wasn’t a big deal, and helped us rearrange the rest of the evening to make sure nothing fell off track. I cannot recommend her enough!

It only allows for 75 characters, so I’ll just say WORTH EVERY PENNY✨🤍 💕✨🤍

WOW! What can I say about The Black Barn Event Planning other than AMAZING! Not only was Sam a true lifesaver- she also became a dear friend in the process. She was available to help with all of my questions and needs- also taking so much off of my plate. WEDDING PLANNING IS STRESSFUL! Let Sam help assist you so you can enjoy your big day!!! 10/10, 5 stars, 100%, A+++!

I couldn’t recommend the Black Barn Event Planning more. Sam was amazing. She made sure every detail was exactly as I wanted it and went above and beyond in every way possible. She made my day absolutely perfect. Thank you, Sam 🤍

We hired Sam as our day-of coordinator for our May 2024 wedding, and I couldn't be happier with our decision! From booking to the day of the event, she was awesome to work with. Her organizational skills and attention to detail were incredibly helpful during the stressful wedding planning process. Having her with us on our special day took a huge weight off my shoulders, and I was truly able to enjoy the day knowing she was there. By the end, Sam had truly become a friend, and I can't thank her enough for everything she did! If you're debating whether to hire a coordinator or planner, my advice is to do it! I highly recommend Sam!!!

Sam and her team were amazing during the rehearsal and wedding day! It definitely took the stress off of me, which was one of the main things I was concerned about.

Not only was The Black Barn Event Planning very professional and great about answering everyone’s questions, but they were also willing to fix last minute mistakes that I had made before the wedding without me even noticing. I am a very particular person, and Sam was amazing and ensured that all of my particular requests were heard. I know it may have seemed like an easy-going day to all the guests, but I know her team was working overtime behind the scenes to ensure everything would go off without a hitch.

I absolutely loved having The Black Barn Event Planning be our day-of coordinator. When I look back on my wedding day, there is so much joy in everything that went right and all the emotions that I felt as the day went on. For all of my friends getting married in Ohio in the next few years, I will definitely be recommending The Black Barn Event Planning, and I hope their company continues to grow and flourish. To Sam, you are the greatest and I will never be able to thank you enough!

From the moment we hired Sam as our day-of wedding coordinator, we knew we were in great hands. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made our wedding day seamless and stress-free.

Sam excelled at managing every aspect of the day. They ensured that vendors were punctual, the timeline was adhered to, and every element of the event was executed flawlessly. Her ability to anticipate and solve problems before they even arose (no problems at all) was truly impressive.

Throughout the planning process, Sam was always accessible, responsive, and full of great ideas. On the rehearsal and wedding day, she was a calming presence, ensuring that we could fully enjoy our special moments without worrying about the logistics.

Thanks to Sam, our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator to bring our vision to life. We highly recommend Sam at Black Barn Event Planning to any couple looking for a dedicated, talented, and caring professional to handle their wedding day. Thank you so much, Sam, for making our day perfect!!

Absolutely lovely planner! Great to work with, great communication, and very organized! Really good at making sure things happen and keep moving and extremely proactive in the planning process! Absolutely recommend!

Do not hire Samantha for your day of coordination. All it has caused is more stress and chaos.
We hired her in February for day of coordinator services for our October wedding. Late July she sent an email to her current clients changing her terms. When I asked for clarification on the terms we had agreed to (set up, room flip assistance, tear down), she suggested I hire a decorator for help. Once I told her I was hiring a decorator, as she suggested, she told me in an email and verbally that I didn't need to hire help and that her team could handle it. The morning after we spoke, she broke our contract to terminate services and left us searching for a new coordinator with less than 3 months until the wedding.

We booked Samantha in 2024 for day of coordination services for our 2025 wedding. The day before our wedding, we recieved an email informing us that since she is closing her business, she would not be completing our wedding as planned. THE DAY BEFORE (and the day that she was set to lead the rehearsal). We noticed the prior weekend that her social media pages and website were gone so we believe that she intentionally bailed on us for another reason, citing the closing of the business as an excuse (because with her social media and website gone, she had probably planned this for days to weeks prior). She is refunding us all but the security deposit. Upon fighting to get greater payment returned, she cites that the contract allows her to maintain the total deposit. But per her contract, she is to seek us a replacement planner and has ignored our request for proof that she tried to find us another planner for our wedding day, which is a breach of contract if she cannot verify. Her communication prior to the wedding was a bit slow and the work that she has put in towards vendor communication and timeline building was limited. The final timeline was riddled with errors and never actually sent to the other vendors despite claiming to have done so. I would not have spent the money at all if I had known she would do this because the few things she contributed were things I could have done myself and ended up having to fix anyways. If you currently have her booked for your wedding, just know that if she hasn't reached out to cancel on you she will. I hope that she does not do it the day before like she did for mine. I wish her the best but pray she never tries to re-enter this industry again in the future.
