    Celebration of Life for my husband

    Holly and Sarah were on top of everything. Nothing slipped by them and they brought me great relief while planning something so emotional. I would absolutely use them again, I wouldn't go anywhere else and I would definately recommend them to anyone planning a big event. The are calm and confident and for good reason...it's because they really know what they are doing.

    Perfect Wedding - Stress Free!

    One Fine Day, specifically Holly, was the best decision we made throughout our planning. Holly stayed in constant contact with us throughout the planning period and then on the day of (and rehearsal) she made everything a BREEZE!

    She also helped orchestrate a surprise visit by Boba Fett and Storm Troopers thanks to the local 501st Legion. I know it's cliché to say, but it was legitimately a perfect day and that is in no small part due to Holly's efforts.

    DEFINITELY recommend!

    AMAZING experience with Kathi

    We were lucky enough to have Kathi as our day of coordinator- however, she did SO MUCH MORE than just coordinate our wedding day. Kathi was with us from the beginning- we actually picked Oxford Exchange as a venue because she led our tour and we thought "wow, this is someone who is going to take care of us". And she did! She is incredibly knowledgeable, dependable, and prepared. She walked us through timelines, important decisions, family opinions, and advocated for us when we disagreed with our vendors. She was there from the first minute of our wedding day and made sure it ran FLAWLESSLY- even getting stuck in a downpour so we could stay dry. We had family and friends remark to us on how evident it was that she deeply cared that our wedding day was the day WE wanted. If you have the opportunity to use Kathi as your coordinator, DO NOT HESITATE! She is worth every penny and more!!

    Unparalleled expertise and service

    One Fine Day helped my daughter and I plan her wedding. We are both experienced planners and event managers, so one might think we might not need an outside wedding planner. Oh, so wrong. The wedding was flawless and everything we dreamed of, in no small way because of Sarah and her staff. She steered us to good decisions from the smallest details to grandest inspiration. I shake my head when I hear other moms hoping to, "save money." Sarah saved us over and over again from costly missteps. Nothing prepares you for planning a wedding in your own family. Sarah was calm, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, creative, and has unparalleled contacts in our community. The next time we have a family or corporate event to plan, she will be the first person we call!

    Thanks so much Laurel! It was a pleasure working with you and Grace! We made a great team and I wish we could do it all over again! 😊 xoxo

    I owe all of the success of our beautiful wedding day to Carolina at One Fine Day. She is responsive, kind, thorough, and creative. My father (father of the bride) throws events for a living, and let me tell you, he is a tough cookie. Carolina blew him away with her organization and attention to detail. Being an out-of-town bride required a lot of email communication, which she understood and accommodated (she even filmed a video tour for me!) On our wedding day, she drove my best friend to my hotel room to pickup my heartburn medicine when I was feeling too ill to enjoy the evening. That, by definition, is above and beyond. We can't thank you enough, Carolina.

    Sarah was amazing, our day went off without one single flaw! She made the planning process easy, had wonderful ideas and handled my indecisive yet picky personality without even blinking. Sarah's calming demeanor helped me stay calm throughout this very stressful process. Sarah was able to work around my busy scheduled to go to vendor appointments and kept in contact with my mother and I weekly. As every bride knows there are things you forget or don't think of, when I would bring it up to Sarah she already had it handled. The week before my wedding I did not have to worry about a thing, surprisingly it was one of the least stressful weeks of my life. Sarah was able to manage our 20 plus wedding party and keep them in line. She remained calm even when I made changes to the decor the week before and even had some ideas of her own that had a huge impact on our reception. On my wedding day Sarah was by my side the entire time, at least that is how I felt, during the reception I would need something and Sarah was there. I cannot say enough about Sarah and Brooke!

    I'm not sure where to begin! Sarah and her team at One Fine Day, Inc helped turned my vision for my wedding into a reality and wildly exceeded my expectations. Being an out of state bride, I needed a full service planner who could guide me with my design choices and help me choose the best vendors in the area that matched my style and budget. Sarah did all that and more! Thanks to her and her wonderful team, my wedding planning process was seamlessly smooth and I enjoyed every second of working with them! No request was to big. No detail was forgotten about. Sarah readily made herself available to respond to every question I had, and was a wonderful person to bounce my ideas off of and get advice from. On the wedding day itself, Sarah was there from the time I started getting ready until the last guest left the reception. She made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch, and my groom and I, as well as our families, could just relax and enjoy the special day. Her and her team went above and beyond and truly provided 5 star service. I would highly recommend Sarah and One Fine Day. At the end of the wedding planning process, she became not only my planner, but one of my friends.

    I can't say enough good things about Sarah and One Fine Day. They helped us have an absolutely perfect wedding night and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. She was adaptable, extremely professional, and made sure everything went perfectly throughout the night. Thank you so much!

    Sarah is absolutely incredible. Everything was perfect. We had a destination wedding and you only get one shot to get it right. The vendors she recommended performed flawlessly and the events were choreographed down to the minute. Of all the money we spent on our wedding, and it was substantial, Sarah and One Fine Day provided us with the best value for the simple reason that without her guidance, it would not have been the overwhelming success that it was. Choose OFD and listen to her recommendations.

    Sarah was amazing!!!! Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are that Sarah was our wedding planner. She was able to meet all of our needs and understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding. I was able to have the wedding of my dreams because of Sarah. She was polite and extremely professional at all of our meetings. She went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was truly the best day ever.

    Sarah was wonderful in planning all aspects of my daughter's wedding! She has a great group of vendors and she works hard on every detail. The day of the wedding was flawless and she seemed to be everywhere…from setting up in the tent to getting my daughter into her dress to coordinating the reception.
    Sarah is very friendly and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone who needed event planning!

    We recently worked with Sarah at One Fine Day and she did an amazing job! She coordinated with all of our vendors, and was there from the morning to the very end of our wedding. The entire day of was SO much less stressful because we knew the Sarah would handle any issues. She anticipated so many things throughout the day, and anytime I needed something she just happened to be right there. She has one assistant with her, and he did a great job as well. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend her. Our wedding went incredibly smoothly and perfectly and we know the reason why is because she was there behind the scenes for us!

    Our wedding was in Sarasota but we live out of state, so we needed someone who knew the area and local vendors well and could help us do some serious 'leg work' in planning our wedding. We came to Sarasota only twice before our wedding, and Sarah was able to coordinate meetings with vendors when we were there and keep things moving along when we weren't. She did a great job of matching us to the right vendors and understanding our tastes and budget, so much so that I was completely comfortable approving some details sight unseen if she suggested them (table linen colors, for example). Being several hundred miles away, this was hugely helpful.

    One of the main reasons I chose to work with Sarah was her personality. I spoke with a lot of gushy, bubbly, 'it's your day, you're the princess' kind of planners and vendors, which does not fit my own personality at all. Sarah's calm, genuine, softspoken nature was a refreshing change, and proved to be the best type of person to have around on a day when nerves are running high!

    When I first met with Sarah the first thing that I noticed was how CALM she was - while I sat there all nervous and anxious, worring about literally everything - she was completely calm and understanding. I didn't have my mom's help at all for planning my wedding and having never been involved in a wedding like this before - had no idea what was typical or expected of me. She provided me with so much guidance on what I needed to be doing and what she would handle too. To make planning this wedding even more complicated, I travel to another state each for work and am only available for vendor meetings on Fridays or weekends. To try to touch base and keep me on track - I would e-mail Sarah long winded lists of what I was working on for the wedding, questions and worries I had, and asked for statuses on where she was with items she was handling - I have no idea if this is normal for brides to do but she went with it and helped keep me from going completely insane while planning the biggest party of my life. She helped us with the budget and although we went over - I feel sure that we got the best vendors that we could. Our band decided to break up 2 months before our wedding and Sarah was able to contact the band members and find a resolution so that we didn't end up with a true problem on our hands - the band got a new lead singer to play during the reception and the old lead singer played during cocktail hour - a nice resolution that prevented us from having to find a new band. It is so hard to envision what your reception will look like but Sarah was able to help my vision come together and I'm so thankful. I know that given my worrying ways and perfectionism that I'm not the easiest to please and Sarah still managed to help us coordinate a beautiful day. I have had countless friends/family tell me that it was the by far the best wedding and reception they'd ever been to! Thank you so much, Sarah!!

    Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are to have hired Sarah to help plan and coordinate our wedding day. I met with Sarah almost a year before our wedding. She was there to guide and recommend me to the best vendors that the Tampa has to offer. Sarah is extremely organized, has great communication and always made me feel like I was her 1st priority even though I know she has other clients. Sarah provided me with the gift on my wedding day, that I didn’t have to worry about anything other than having the wedding of my dreams. Thanks again Sarah, I can’t say enough positive things about you and your assistant.

    Make your special day really wonderful for you and your parents. Hire Sarah Fairbairn to help you with your wedding. Our Florida wedding was on an island with the bride & groom in New York City, the bride’s parents in Illinois and the groom’s parents in another part of New York. All 140 guests were from out of town. Difficult…YES. But Sarah was fabulous. And to make it even more difficult, just as we were to start taking pictures it started to RAIN (after 10 weeks of perfect sunny weather). But Sarah handled it all with calm and efficiency. Sarah worked with the florist to hold the cost of flowers down and covered most of her fees in doing so. She was fabulous in everything from organizing, filling and distributing all the Welcome Bags to helping us decide on an additional tent for the ceremony to holding the umbrellas for us as we entered the venue in the rain. She could not have been more wonderful and efficient.
    After the hours of celebration, we arrived home and here comes Sarah and her assistant Natalie with the bride’s bouquet, a vase to put it in, the rest of the cake and other flowers from the reception to decorate our home. Sarah coordinated 3 events for us for wedding weekend; a Welcome Dinner for 124, the Wedding Ceremony and Reception for 140 and a Brunch on Sunday for 100. And the rain didn’t fluster her in the least. Five stars are not enough for this lovely, unflappable woman. Sarah, many thanks for the most wonderful day of our lives.

    I just recently got married and one of the best decision about the wedding beyond the dress and the groom was Sarah! She is fabulous, a live saver, calm, and friendly. Do yourself a huge favor--involve Sarah in your day. She caught every detail, helped things run perfectly on the day of and for the rehearsal. Sarah was so on top of things that on the day of the wedding I didn't have to worry because I knew that she would take care of everything.

    For example, the day of the wedding also happened to be my now husband's sister's birthday. I had ordered a special cupcake to be delivered along with the wedding cake, so that the my husband and I could give it to her. MY first mistake is I forgot to tell Sarah about the cupcake. So when the cake vendor didn't bring the cupcake and I did not realize this until during the reception. Sarah sprang into action instantly found a little cake, candles, lit the candles, and signaled the band to sing happy birthday all in about 5 minutes. It was downright AMAZING!

    Sarah helped bustle my dress, orchestrate the schedule, calm my mom down--she did everything. She helped find linens for the reception and glasses for the cocktail hour. She did the last minute coordinating with all of the vendors and helped the reception turn into the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. She had awesome suggestions about the order events to keep the reception flowing, decor ideas, and was spot on about everything. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone. According to my mom, "Sarah is worth more than her weight in gold."

    I can not say enough about Sarah! Sarah has such a warm and calm personality that really makes you feel at ease and its this trait that makes her such a great wedding planner. Her creativity in transforming the layout really had a huge impact on our reception. It was amazing! She is a true lifesaver with the amount of detail and work that was put in and for that I am so grateful to have had her there. Sarah and her assistant made our wedding day go so smoothly and they are so great to work with. One Fine Day, Inc. is a must on your wedding day!

    I hired Sarah at One Fine Day as my Day of planner and I definitely received more than I could have ever dreamed. Sarah is an amazing coordinator and really helps the Bride to feel at ease on such a stressful day. Sarah is prepared for any and all situations that may arise on the day of your wedding and helps to make everything run perfectly. Although I only hired Sarah for the "day of" she made sure that I knew if I had any questions or needed advice for the months leading up to the wedding that she was always available. Everytime I emailed her, I would get a response in a very timely manner. I don't know what I would have done without her for my wedding and I highly recommend her to every Bride!
