The best wedding planners ever!

I do not have enough good things to say about Sari and John. From the moment I spoke with Sari I knew she was the best choice for us. Not only did she work to help bring our dreams to life, she was there to help with any questions or nervous wedding jitters I had. The day of Sari and John made sure everything went seamlessly and everyone who attended not only commented on how incredible they both were, but stated it was the best wedding they had ever been to. So thankful and grateful for Sari and John and would recommend them a million times.

It Never Rains on a Tropical Wedding!

Choose Sari and John as your wedding planning team, take a deep breath, and know that everything will be taken care of. Most of you are new to planning a wedding. We certainly were. My wife and I are accustomed to being in charge of things in our careers. Our initial approach to preparing for our wedding was: sure, we will go through the motions of hiring our wedding planner, but we would still ultimately be the ones to work hard and make sure things are going smoothly. This strategy somewhat worked for the first couple of months. But as the the big day got closer my wife and I realized that we had no what we were doing. Due to all of our overthinking we got stressed. Sari called me (the groom) one day and with a gentle but blunt tone that I have grown to adore and basically told me to do ourselves a favor and take a step back. With many years of experience and an artistic vision at her disposal, she explained in detail how the wedding would ACTUALLY go and that we needed to finally let go and trust that they would handle things.
Sari and John were amazing. They were always prepared to fix any and everything that could possible go wrong most times before it got that far. They were amazing at emotional support and keeping our (read: the bride's) stress low. The wedding day was more beautiful and "perfect" than I ever imagined it being. Thank you both for looking us in the eyes and telling us to trust you! We would highly recommend the Tropical Weddings Team.
