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!

I have had the pleasure of working with Samantha numerous times at both of our wedding venues. As a venue manager, I appreciate getting to work with talented professionals like Samantha that plan and execute an event to perfection! I know that when Samantha and her team are managing an event, everything will run seamlessly. She is professional, has a great eye for design, and is simply a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Samantha to any couple planning a wedding!
