The absolute best!

As somebody who has worked on hundreds of weddings with a plethora of planners, it's always a sigh of relief when I find out I get to work with Sam and the Zest It Up team. As a vendor, you know you're going to have all the details nailed down before you even have to ask, and you know your couple is always in good hands. Plus, she's an extremely talented designer, so every wedding she has a hand in is absolutely stunning! I highly recommend Zest It Up to anybody who is looking to not have to worry about a thing during their planning process. She's the best!

Samantha Nason of Zest it Up Made the Wedding Planning Process Actually Enjoyable

Book Her! She will make the whole process, which can be daunting, so much less stressful and actually quite enjoyable. Sam has such a calming and reassuring presence. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the whole process. The others vendors we worked with had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. Sam covered so many details, even all the little ones that we would have never thought of on our own. When it came to the big day, you could see Sam's special eye for details everywhere. We absolutely loved our experience working with Sam at Zest it Up, and the results were a truly beautiful and enjoyable wedding day.

The BEST Wedding Coordinator

Choosing Zest it Up for our wedding coordination was the absolute
BEST decision we made. Going into the planning process, my husband and I were pretty overwhelmed; neither of us had planned an event of this size before. Sam not only helped us develop a clear vision for our wedding, but she helped us execute it beautifully. Throughout the entire process, she was extremely quick to answer questions. She offered much-needed guidance, helped narrow down choices, and kept us on track with our timeline. She never missed a beat. And did I mention this is all while giving birth to her third BABY, who we were thrilled to have as a guest at our wedding. :) Since she was the first vendor we booked, she helped us find all our other vendors, all of which were AMAZING. Then, on our wedding day, she kept us calm and organized so we could actually enjoy the day without having to worry about every little detail. There were also some unexpected touches, including rose petals and cake waiting for us in the bridal suite after the wedding along with a personal note and gift from Sam. While working with Zest it Up, we never felt like "just another client." It felt like we had a close friend planning our wedding - someone who knew us as a couple and whom we could trust. I can't say enough about how professional, efficient, supportive, and kind Sam was throughout the entire process. She gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we will be forever grateful. HIRE HER! I promise you won't regret it.
