Sammi is a complete planning rockstar in her ability to help us plan our dream wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Kyoto, Japan. There will never be any adequate words that reflect her level of professionalism, flexibility and dedication to us during the entire process.

We started planning our wedding two years in advance as we are from San Francisco, CA, and the Japanese language barrier and customs proved to be a challenge. With Sammi's help, we were able to blend both American and Japanese traditions effortlessly as her wealth of knowledge about the Japanese wedding industry and professional connections with vendors helped us tremendously achieve the dreamiest Kyoto wedding beyond our expectations.

Sammi is an invaluable partner and we highly recommend her for all of your full service planning needs. She is well worth her weight by simply being available, an expert listener and is willing to learn and adapt, there is nothing she cannot do! Her ability to attune to our needs and wishes by being an expert communicator was absolute paramount in planning our special day. Sammi is a gem!

Sammi was an incredible wedding planner. From introducing us to vendors to the execution of the whole event Sammi was there to help make our wedding perfect. While almost everything went according to plan when there was an error with a vendor Sammi stepped in and turned their SNAFU into one of the best aspects of our wedding.

Sammi truly knows the Austin area. This knowledge helped us find some of the best options we did not know about for specific vendors, like a caterer that can pick up food from any restaurant. She helped us pick a venue that worked for our criteria, and she was there for every meeting to make sure all the right questions were asked, and our desires met.

I think what we appreciate most about Sammi was her kind and honest approach to giving us a perfect wedding. After only a few meetings, Sammi knew when we were not completely happy with how a vendor meeting went and would immediately follow up with us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. This thoughtful approach gave us the best and only wedding we’ll ever have, so we’re thrilled that we got the opportunity to work with her. We cannot recommend her more highly as a wedding planner.

We are a hair and makeup vendor that work with Sammi quite often. She is one of our favorite coordinators to work with, especially for our out of town brides. She is always so professional and friendly. Her organization and communication is top notch. We especially loves that she sets up Zoom meetings with clients so we have a chance to meet them with her to discuss their hair and makeup ideas and details for the wedding day. She is excellent with communicating and working out details such as contract information and day of timelines. Every wedding we have worked with Sammi has gone very smoothly and stress free. We cannot recommend Sammi enough and can't wait for more weddings with her!

Sammi was the best day of planner! Everything about our wedding was wonderful, and the day turned out perfect!

I was not originally going to hire a planner but my venue required a day of coordinator and I am so glad they did because I had no idea how much I needed Sammi! She was extremely responsive and very professional. She gave me so much needed advice and made me feel as relaxed as possible on the wedding day. She took so much off my plate by communicating with my vendors and creating the perfect timeline and I loved her assertiveness with my rowdy wedding party. Very highly recommend!

I went back and forth for months on whether we needed to hire a planner but as soon as I started working with Sammi, I knew i had made the right choice.
I felt completely at ease during the whole planning process, thanks to Sammi. She was super responsive and knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. She always knew what questions to ask our vendors especially since I did not and made me feel confident that we were getting the best of the best.
She did amazing at setting up our decor and making our dream become a reality.
If you are thinking of hiring a planner/coordinator do it!!
And Sammi is most definitely the way to

Sammi was awesome!! She was so hands on, very knowledgeable and ensured our vision came to life! She always went the extra mile to ensure our special day went smoothly and helped us keep calm during some very stressful moments in our planning journey. I HIGHLY recommend Sammi, you won't regret it!!

highlights: FULL-SERVICE planned IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS w/ invited guest count >300 for couple both working >70hrs/week. She helped make our DREAM WEDDING. She handled hiccups from COVID SEAMLESSLY, without breaking a sweat. Sammi has become part of our family & we even had her included in wedding portraits. We LOVE her.

My husband & I are super busy medical students and we had two options: Plan a wedding in less than 4 months so we could get married before we graduate, or wait 4 years until both of us finished residency. We are both the first in our families and of our friends to get married, so we didn’t know what we were doing. Our family is large (guest count >300 people) and we didn’t want to sacrifice a beautiful wedding with a strong presence of both cultures. I say all of this to explain the difficult situation we were in & ***how strongly I believe that WE WOULD HAVE POSTPONED OUR WEDDING until after residency (4 years later) IF WE DID NOT HAVE SAMMI. I interviewed about 5-6 wedding planners and all were very sweet, Sammi was the clear choice from the minute we met. There was a very clear change in our lives once Sammi came into the picture — everyone spoke of how calm, happy and excited we were during wedding planning, as opposed to how most couples inevitably are (very busy, stressed, etc.). My husband & I’s schedule is pretty rigorous (full of 70-80 hour work weeks, 14-hour night shifts, board exams). One of my FAVORITE things about Sammi was how understanding & flexible she was about our schedule. She was fine having all of our meetings at 8-9pm when we would get off of work, she wouldn’t let me apologize for forgetting to respond for several days because she understood the demands of graduate/professional school. She didn’t care if I responded to her texts at midnight/1am and if she was still up, she would help me out. I can’t express how much this meant to me. I’m a very frugal person and spending so much money on a wedding made me anxious, especially when I thought about paying more for a wedding planner. However, now that the wedding is done, I would have paid TWICE what Sammi charged with no hesitation. She and her services are worth 2-3x what she charges and I cannot believe how lucky we got with her. Sammi became so much more than a wedding planner or a friend — she became part of the family. I ended up inviting her to my bachelorette and bridal shower. My parents kept insisting we have her over for dinner. I invited Sammi to do cake tasting with me so we could hang out and have a little date. We even included her in our family portraits that the photographer took right after the ceremony. When people ask brides how they feel after the wedding, you’ll hear many say “The day went by so fast” and “I’m so glad the planning is over.” Because of Sammi, I got to enjoy all FOUR MONTHS (that’s it!!) of wedding planning and my husband & I got to soak in every, single second of our wedding day together. You only get married once (hopefully) and I vehemently believe that it would never have been this wonderful of an experience without Sammi. My husband and I love her and are determined to keep her in our lives, through friendship and by convincing all our friends/family to hire her, too.

Your wedding planner is the most important vendor choice you will make. I am more than happy to be a reference for Sammi and will answer any questions truthfully as a recent client of hers.

Sammi was without a doubt one of the best vendors we had. It took some convincing of my husband that we needed a wedding coordinator, but even my husband told me that hiring Sammi was the best decision we could have ever made. I was planning my wedding without any help from family, and she provided phenomenal insight as I thought through seating charts, layout, timeline, etc. She was always one step ahead, thinking of all the things and asking other vendors things I would have never thought of. Our wedding went seamlessly and that is truly due to Sammi. Even our guests commented to us how incredible and on top of everything Sammi was. My only regret is not hiring Sammi sooner!!

We had a quick flip of venue that I was really nervous about, but she made it work and let me know what was feasible and what wasn’t. All of our vendors loved working with her, and she truly made the day stress free. I can’t even begin to imagine what the wedding would have been without her. Sammi is such a MVP and truly the best!!

Sammi was absolutely amazing. My parents are in Dallas and I had no idea how to plan my wedding. When I met Sammi, I knew she was the perfect wedding planner. She is so sweet and her calm demeanor was a perfect match for me as I can get frenzied easily at times. Every vendor I chose based on her suggestions were wonderful. She was there for me every step of the way. Not only did she go to all my appointments, she went above and beyond. She was there for me when my mother couldn't be for special moments along the way. Sammi is everything a woman could want in a wedding planner and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for me. Our wedding was more amazing than I ever expected. She even got last minute decorations I forgot to get that I needed the day of the wedding. She is a wonderful wedding planner that I also consider a friend. Thank you so much Sammi for everything you did, for not only my wedding, but for me. Ladies: If you are looking for a wedding planner, call Sammi!
