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!

One of the best wedding planners of all time!

One of the best wedding planners of all time! Sam is able to work closely with her clients, all vendors and myself (venue owner) showing her ability to navigate multiple interests simultaneously. On event days, Sam is the first to arrive and is always last to leave. Not only is she phenomenal on the day of the event, but she gives countless hours for many months leading up to the big day and cares so deeply about each of her clients. Her work ethic, her communication and her dedication to upholding the highest level of customer service makes her shine. I wish I could steal her away and hire her full time ... she's that good.
