We used Saralee at XOXO Bride because, as wedding photographers ourselves we knew she was the best. She took absolute care of the day and made it run as smooth as a baby's bottom. She is sweet, professional, fun, and organized like woah. Honestly we could not have done it without her. Go hire these ladies now! You will not regret it!

I have nothing but the best experience with XOXO Bride. Sonia has been my rock through the entire planning process. She is on point, extremely organized, reliable, full of creative ideas and always go above and beyond! Working with her for a year has not only made me appreciate the value of her skills but I have also learned from her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Sonia is absolutely amazing at what she does and you can count on her to deliver! She far exceeded my expectations and I hope you will have the pleasure of working with her!

You must get Saralee from XOXO as your wedding coordinator! Our vendor required us to have a Day Of Coordinator and one they recommended was XOXO Bride. We quickly had a meeting with Sonia and Saralee and from the beginning we knew we were picking an exquisite team. I can't praise her enough for everything she did before, during, and after our wedding. She helped with everything from the rehearsal, to the setting up of our tables, centerpieces, cake area (she even picked up our cake), 100+ placecards in wine corks, displaying BM bouquets, setting up ceremony props, etc etc. She worked with all our vendors as well. Her attention to detail was superb and her overall wedding knowledge was extremely appreciated!! And she did it all calmly with a smile on her face. What a relief! I wasn't nervous or crazy one bit on my Big Day because I knew Saralee had it all under control. My wedding party really appreciated that too;) She even packed everything up that night and made sure everything left with someone in particular. I can't imagine what we would have done without her! Amazing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I adore Saralee Franchi at XOXO Brides. She is the kind of coordinator who will do anything to make the wedding wonderful. Other vendors love her too and will stand on their heads to accommodate her needs. A fabulous choice for a personal and dedicated approach to wedding perfection!
