Kimberly C. Sent on 10/12/2023Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Cocktail Party at Montalto
Sarah is absolutely amazing! She is meticulously organized, professional, offers guidance, design advice, vendor suggestions, and managed the events to a precise timeline. We had to “reset” the venue from a dinner setting to a cocktail party in a set 15 minute timeframe and it was done perfectly. We had shuttles on a precise schedule, and they executed beautifully. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Everyone raved about each detail and we were able to focus on the guests and enjoy our event. She was flawless! -

Amazing to work with!
As a photographer, I absolutely love working with Sarah! Sarah goes above and beyond to make her client's experience and also the vendor team experience amazing. She is efficient, detailed, and timely with her vendor communication and sets the whole team up for success on the wedding day with all the details we could need. She is collaborative and a team player, and brings a calm energy on a wedding day. I cannot wait to work together again! -

Kedron C. Sent on 08/03/2023We love and adore Sarah!
My family and I are so endlessly grateful for Sarah, taking us on after our prior wedding planner fell through on us after months of planning. I panicked and emailed Sarah the same day after finding out, asking if she still had availability for our day and thankfully by the graces of all things good she did! She jumped right in, flew up to speed, and got things rolling from us immediately. She designed and orchestrated our day to perfection. Every vision I had came to life thanks to Sarah and her team. From design, to execution, to our timeline, organizing our vendors and leading the team and our day - she blew us all away! She was so thoughtful, kind, patient, and quick to answer and calm my nerves or answer my questions. I feel as though Sarah went above and beyond for us. She gave us a day I will remember forever. I adore Sarah and now see her as a true friend. I can’t wait to see all the other days she will bring to life - I’ll be living vicariously through her photos and pictures. She knows all things Charlottesville and has a hand and experience with so many vendors in the area, which makes her suggestions and expertise so amazing. We love you Sarah! Thank you for our beautiful, perfect, and amazing day! -

Impeccable Service | Seamless Wedding Day
Sarah Fay, Ashley and the whole team Day by Fay team went above and beyond to make the wedding day seamless, and effortless - not only for us as the bride and groom, but for our families as well. Every single thing went perfectly. The Day by Fay team made sure that all of us were not dealing with wedding logistics or questions on the wedding day. We all felt as if we were floating through the day, soaking up the overwhelming outpouring of love + the magical feeling that filled the atmosphere. It is hard to describe just how special, and perfect the day truly was, thanks to Sarah, Ashley and the whole team. We could not be more grateful to have had the opportunity to work with these ladies, and we recommend them with the highest regard and accolades. -

We had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Sarah and her wonderful team this past October. As wedding videographers, our experience is largely influenced by the professionalism and experience provided by the planner. We were so impressed with Sarah and her ability to coordinate an absolutely stunning event. The wedding day featured several moving parts, hundreds of guests, and dozens of vendors, and yet Sarah was able to bring the couple’s vision to life. And while the wedding was absolutely gorgeous, what we really appreciated about Sarah was her talent for anticipating the couple’s needs on their wedding day. Throughout the day, she made suggestions that ultimately enhanced the experience not just for the bride and groom, but for the guests as well. Our favorite of these suggestions was the impromptu receiving line that allowed the couple to individually greet each of their guests as we transitioned to dinner. You could see that taking this time meant so much to each of the guests, and it made a really special memory for the couple, as well. Though it wasn’t on the original timeline, Sarah coordinated this moment with such expertise – she communicated clearly and often to the vendors inside the tent so we were constantly in the know and on the same page. It truly felt like we were all part of one big team. We felt so taken care of and because of this, we were able to do our jobs with ease. But above all else, Sarah has to be one of the kindest people ever. She is truly such a genuine soul and she is so passionate about helping others create beautiful memories. If you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t even think about it – do it!! -

Forever grateful
Thank you so much to Sarah and the team! We couldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without you. Thank you for your patience and thoroughness with answering all of our questions, and for guiding us while still making sure we can celebrate what makes us unique. -

I cant' rave enough about Sarah! She was assigned to us by our catering company as a day of planner. We met her two months before our wedding. The walk through went wonderful and she captured our ideas and made them seem like such an easy reality. Then covid hit.. We had to reschedule and Sarah did everything to help us and made it so easy! She really saved us and made us feel relaxed during a stressful time.
Come to our wedding in October. It was amazing! Everything went great and I'm so glad we had her!! -

Sarah could not have been more helpful or supportive during our planning process. She helped us navigate tricky/unresponsive vendors, provided an impeccable schedule of events, and most importantly, suggested our wedding day favors for our guests-- a gesture so loved by our family, we are still hearing about how thoughtful and cherished they are. Sarah gave us piece of mind that our big day would be seamless, allowing us to relax! -

Creative and Calm
Sarah was such a wonderful addition to our wedding team! She has great ideas, understood the style we were going for and helped communicate that with all of our other vendors. She was great at speaking up with me as I attempted to communicate my vision with others. Sarah and her entire team are a calm presence leading up to and on the wedding itself. As the 30 day mark hit prior to the wedding Sarah kicked it into high gear and sent each of our vendors minute by minute schedules and directions and answered all of their logistical questions. It was a pleasure working with Sarah and her team and I know our wedding was more beautiful and much smoother because of her. -

Look no further and call Day by Fay now!
Sarah was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. She is extremely organized, detail-oriented, personable, and has a ton of connections in the area that made our planning process as stress-free as I could imagine it.
We ended up booking the Day-Of package, but I feel like she truly went above and beyond to ensure the entire planning process went smoothly. As a COVID bride, I ended up postponing our wedding date a full year later and she was gracious enough to help coordinate among all of our vendors.
I cannot recommend Sarah and her team enough - she was so key to making our wedding dreams come true! -

Chloe M. Sent on 01/10/2022Amazing experience!
Choosing Sarah as our coordinator was one of the best decisions we made! Although we chose her as a weekend coordinator, she was communicative and extremely helpful for almost a year and a half before our wedding! Anything we needed - any tiny question we had - she answered right away. As we got closer to the wedding, her organization and efficiency made me feel so comforted. She organized our timeline with vendors so that everything ran smoothly on the day of. Sarah's kindness, positivity, and genuine joy for her work radiated throughout our wedding weekend! We love her, and we wish we could get married all over again just so we'd have another chance to work with her! -

Sarah and the Day by Fay staff were the behind the scenes stars of our wedding weekend. From our initial conversation, we knew that Sarah would be our PARTNER for the festivities, not just a “vendor.”
While we booked her for just the weekend coordination of our intimate wedding, she was incredibly helpful in the 3 months leading up to the event, from making suggestions for other vendors (all of which were excellent choices!) to advising us on full weekend itinerary (not just the wedding day) to her calm and professional approach regarding some last minute hurdles. Additionally, since our event was on the small side, she was able to offer her floral services as well, which turned out great since she was already familiar with our personalities and design approach for the wedding.
As someone who thought we didn’t need a coordinator/planner, I must say that booking Day by Fay was the best decision we made! -

Day By Fay, Sarah specifically, is the absolute BOMB. We are at a loss for positive things to say about our experience working with her. Other than to say, call her, speak with her, hire her, you'll never regret it. We just opened the last packet of photos from a briefly lost disposable camera and found a late night selfie that we both took with Sarah as our silent disco came to a close. Not only was Sarah warm and kind and present and prompt during the lead up (truly, an essential piece to making our big day go off without a hitch), but she was all that and more on the day of, all the way until the bitter end late at night. And more than that, we were glad to have her there with us on a more human level. She was more than happy to customize a plan that fit our budget and needs, too, what with our 15 person wedding being not exactly cookie cutter. Her joy added to our own, nothing less. Thank you, Sarah! -

Allison Sent on 07/30/2020Day by Fay takes your worries away.
We used Sarah from Day by Fay as our month-of wedding coordinator. From the beginning Sarah was professional and and responded quickly to all our questions. We got married recently and there were still many restrictions in place due to the coronavirus pandemic. We needed to make a lot of adjustments and many of them last minute. Sarah was extremely flexible and helped us to tackle all the hurdles in place to make the wedding a success. She was behind the scenes Taking care of all of the details so that my husband and I could truly enjoy our rehearsal routine. Would recommend Sarah to any bride-to-be! -

A Day (we will always remember) by Fay!
Sarah Fay was truly the BEST Wedding plan we have ever worked with or even heard of in Charlottesville! She set us up for success from Day one by already having consistent contacts with our Wedding Venue prior to us getting together. Our Wedding day went off without a hitch and she was 100% to praise for that fact. She was timely, caring, and responsible. She took the worry out of our wedding planning and gave us the peace of mind we needed to live in the moment and enjoy our day! -
