There aren't enough positive adjectives in the world to complete this review. We, like many other couples, had to cancel our dream wedding after a year and a half of planning and on top of that, my husband had lost his father to COVID. We got married in a small backyard ceremony in October as a way to put some positivity into our families' lives after such loss, but it wasn't what I had wished for. At the time, we still thought we'd have our big wedding so I didn't wear my dress or veil, I didn't get my hair and makeup done, and I let so many things slide that took away from my enjoyment of the day. On top of that, the last-minute photographer I hired to capture this day was less than ideal and we didn't end up with practically any good photos. When I reached out to my original wedding photographer about planning a destination elopement to get my "princess" moment in the dress and veil, she immediately recommended we reach out to Sydney. I'll admit, at first I was apprehensive. Why did we need a wedding planner for just one day of photos and a vow exchange? We thought that it didn't make sense to spend the money, and we could figure it out with our photographer alone. I respect and trust my photographer, so I wanted to at least take the meeting and hear Sydney out, so that's what we did. I was immediately taken by her enthusiasm and genuine concern about making this day the redemption we deserved after facing such a bad 2020. She had amazing ideas right from the get go and was more than willing to work within our budget and make sure the day entailed everything we thought we missed out on. When we got to Hawaii, she arranged to go pick up from the florist herself and hair/makeup people were coming to me so I didn't need to worry about a single detail. On top of that, Sydney was already there scouting all the locations and making sure everything was perfect. I am SO thankful she took the time to do this, because it ended up that most of the locations we had picked beforehand were either closed to the public or not ideal for photos. She was up late the night before our shoot working her butt off to make sure the backups she had previously planned (because she's a super pro and extra prepared) were going to be just as breathtaking, and she DELIVERED. We spent the ENTIRE day with her and my photographer driving all around Oahu to the most gorgeous places I have ever seen and getting our dream photos. She was an absolute pro and made sure we didn't lift a single finger, even though it wasn't even our wedding day. My husband and I could not stop smiling the whole day, and when it was all said and done, we were both speechless. I literally could not believe how impressed my husband was. After the initial awe wore off, he couldn't stop talking about how grateful he was that we ended up hiring her and how perfect the day was. Obviously I felt the same way, but to hear him (someone who thinks everything in the wedding industry is overpriced and can be done DIY) repeatedly say it made every cent worth it. If you think a planner isn't necessary because you're so laid back and low maintenance about your day, THINK AGAIN. Never in a million years did I think I would need a planner for my big wedding, let alone an elopement, and I could not have been more wrong. Sydney made that day the best one of my life and I will be working forever to pay the debt I owe her for that. HIRE SYDNEY NOW. DON'T EVEN THINK TWICE.

I don't even know where to start with this review. It honestly makes me a little emotional thinking about Sydney and everything she did for us. The phrase 'above and beyond' doesn't even BEGIN to describe her and how she approaches her work. Not only is she professional and phenomenal at her job (which SHE IS), she is such a kind and caring person, and a delight to be around.

My partner and I both adored her and looked forward to every conversation we had with her. This is because she's a lovely human being on top of being a bad ass boss babe who is outstanding at her job. After laughing and chatting, she'd start asking us questions about the day and our plans, all of which we would look at each other and say "uhhhhh, we didn't think about that." YOU NEED TO HIRE A COORDINATOR, and more specifically, YOU NEED TO HIRE HER. Even if you think you are organized and type A and on top of things, you just need to. She made it so we could truly enjoy the best weekend of our lives. She also helped with our design, which she absolutely crushed - she has such a great aesthetic vision and knows how to execute.

She's organized, thoughtful, sweet, bubbly, effecient, effective, and pretty much every positive adjective you can think of related to what you want in a wedding coordinator - she checks alllll the boxes.

I can't even count the number of times leading up to and throughout the weekend we said "thank goodness for Sydney." Having someone you can trust (and who you enjoy!!!) for this momunental event is key. This is the NUMBER ONE THING I would recommend spending money on.

All I can say is - HIRE HER HIRE HER HIRE HER. You will NOT REGRET IT.

Apologies for all the caps lock. Clearly I feel strongly about Sydney and how wonderful she is.

Sydney was a huge reason our day was so special. Everything was planned perfectly so we always had plenty of time at each location we went to, never felt rushed, but still kept the day moving forward and not getting stale. She had so many great ideas that when all of our initial plans had to be adjusted, we had more options just as incredible as the ones before. Sydney made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the day - we didn't even have to lift a finger the whole time and honestly i felt like a celebrity. Not only is she professional and organized, she was so fun to spend time with and such a nice, hardworking person. I hadn't met her until the day of, but I will be recommending Sydney to everyone I know. Thank you, Sydney, for planning a truly magical day that we will never forget!!

I can’t say enough good things about Sydney! She was very professional, upbeat and uplifting and helped the wedding day go very smoothly. She kept us on time helped with the wedding rehearsal, set up for the day of and in the month prior to the wedding got in touch with all of our vendors to help create a time line for the wedding day. Which I can’t tell you enough how amazing, helpful and important that is. Sydney was always fully prepared, when asking her design ideas she was always super helpful, we did several over the phone and FaceTime sessions to help plan everything out and she was even sweet enough to take some of her time while in town to see the venue in order to be prepared. Sydney goes above and beyond to make you feel fully prepared and comfortable for your big day. She’s super organized which is amazing but most importantly she’s just loves her job and loves helping and creating others visions come true! I have nothing but the upmost respect for this independent, small business owner! If you’re ever on the fence about a wedding planner I’m telling you right now as a bride get one it will make your life so much better and you’ll be able to enough your day without any worries especially if Sydney’s your planner!

Initially I was a bit skeptical in using a wedding planner but Sydney proved me wrong. From the day we started using her, she helped my now current wife, tremendously, planning out the logistics of the day of the event and utilizing her network of vendors that we used for the event. This offloaded a lot of stress for both of us. She was also decisive as well and gave us plenty of options. On the day of the event, when our scheduled location to take pictures was no longer available, her quick thinking and knowledge of the area lead us to an even better location to take pictures at. The day was very memorable and we will not forget it. I would definitely consider using Sydney event for any event.

Prefacing this review by saying that my fiancé (now husband! ) decided to “sign papers” in March 2021, exactly 1 year from the day that he proposed. Our engagement happened right when quarantine started, so needless to say, we did not do any wedding planning with all of the uncertainty around us, for the last year. We are still planning on having a ceremony in the future, but more towards 2022, and this day would be the day we celebrate our marriage just the two of us, and be legally married in an intimate setting. We met Sydney through our photographer who mentioned that Sydney had a lot of great experience with smaller intimate ceremonies and elopements. At first, we were of course, like many of you reading this review now, skeptical about the need to have a planner for a wedding, let alone a “paper signing” event with just me, my fiancé, and our photographer. I will tell you right now that we would not have had a successful day without Sydney there. Sydney isn’t just a planner. She is the designer, the coordinator, the budgeter, the negotiator, the visionary, and the friend that you’ll need in preparation for your day (whether it's a wedding, an elopement, a vow renewal, or even just a special day for you and your partner). You might think that you can do it all on your own- I thought the same thing. In reality, having a confidante like Sydney as part of your team for your special day, will ensure that you will not only have the day you want, but also will give you the breathing room to remember to enjoy the day yourself, which a lot of us forget to give ourselves. Our photographer caught this photo of Sydney and me when we were out in the pouring rain in Washington, D.C. capturing photos of this day and I had to share, because this is truly just a small glimpse of the type of person that Sydney is- thoughtful, genuine, proactive, creative, detailed, and kind- just to name a few of the words that come to mind. If this review made you think an extra minute about looking into a planner, take the time to checkout Sydney and her brand, Wildly in Love. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

HIRE SYDNEY! Working with her for styled shoots and elopements have been one of the best experiences as a floral designer. I have seen her pivot when plans fall through, when rain comes, when timing is off and she pulls off a beautiful event every time without anyone noticing the behind the scenes!! She is incredibly responsive and kind. Her vision is seamless in all the planning she does which is so impressive. Sydney is 100% dedicated to her clients and making their vision a reality. I cannot recommend her services as a planner enough!!

sydney from wildly in love actually planned TWO weddings for us! because of covid and several different variables, we ended up having to plan two totally separate ceremonies. the ceremony and reception we ended up having was absolutely perfect! we had no idea what we were doing, and sydney was totally willing and ready to help answer any question we had. from the beginning, syndey thought of everything. she has such an expansive, talented community that she had a great relationship with every vendor we had which made coordinating the whole team so effortless.

on the day of our wedding, i don't think anything went not-as-planned. if it did, she made sure it was solved before i could have ever stressed about it. it was a dream. i was able to just sit back and soak in all of the joy and excitement of my wedding day. every time i saw a new part of our day (the alter, the dinner table, etc.), my jaw fell on the floor. it was so much more beautiful than i could have ever imagined. it honestly wasn't how i pictured my wedding day at all, but now i cannot imagine having it any other way! we are so thankful sydney made it such a special day for us!!

Stop searching and HIRE SYDNEY!! She's honestly one of the hardest working and most dedicated people I know. Whatever you want, she'll make it happen. I knew her before she officially started her business, and I've always said that her personality is perfect for being a wedding planner. And it is! She really knows how to get things done, make things beautiful, and keep things fun all at the same time. I LOVE working with her and I know you will too!!!

Sydney planned and designed the most magical day for us complete with a picnic in the wildflowers up in the mountains we love so much. She seriously took care of everything, made it all flow so seemlessly, and made us look/feel like absolute rock stars! Cannot say enough good things about the experience, how great she was to work with, and how beautifully everything came together!
