  Calm Wedding Day

  Thank you for helping our families wedding day be fantastic and one that everyone is still talking about! I am used to being in control but on this day Mandi allowed me to sit back and enjoy my daughter's wedding. Her guidance from the first time we spoke all the way through the evening was exceptional. I appreciated her allowing me to give my opinion but then letting me figure out that I could let go. Mandi has wonderful energy while still exuding a calmness that helped the bride and groom be able to enjoy every moment. Mandi is able to take charge while still being relaxed. Thank you for keeping the schedule on task and creating exactly what the bride and groom wanted, a night on the dance floor with their guests. We appreciate all that you did and the incredible memories you helped us create. I highly recommend hiring Sally Oakley/Mandi as your wedding day coordinator.

  We had a blast at the wedding because of Sally!!

  As a mother of the bride, I would not have enjoyed myself if I did not have Sally. She took over and made sure all went well on a special day. She gave us great advice prior to the wedding—there were so many details I had not considered. But she really was priceless on the wedding day. She kept everyone on schedule, took care of details or any issues, and made the day go smoothly. And what is truly a testament to her skill, even my husband was impressed and would recommend her highly. Even though we got the lowest tiered of her services, she always gave 100 percent.
  If you want to enjoy yourself on your child’s wedding day, hire Sally.

  12/10 Experience

  Couldn't be happier with Mandi from the Sally Oakley team. She was so easy to work with, understood my vision, kept me organized and on a timeline, and made the day move perfectly.

  Sally is more than a planner, she is your wedding whisperer with the comforting presence of a best friend!

  Sally's expertise, attention to detail, and extensive knowledge of Raleigh's wedding scene transformed our special day into an unforgettable masterpiece.
  
  Sally brings knowledge of all the ins and outs of the industry, anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them. From selecting the perfect venue to recommending top-notch vendors, Sally's insights were invaluable. Her meticulous planning and organizational skills ensured that every aspect of our wedding was seamlessly coordinated.
  
  Sally brought a sense of calm to the chaos that often accompanies wedding preparations. Her reassuring presence and unwavering commitment to our vision made the entire process enjoyable. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all of the decisions involved in planning a wedding, but Sally acted as our guiding light and ‘calm in the storm’. A top highlight was my husband and I completely enjoying our month of and day of wedding because we knew Sally just had it all handled.
  
  If you're in search of a wedding planner who not only understands the intricacies of the industry but also brings a comforting presence to the whirlwind of wedding planning, look no further than Sally. She is a true professional, a local expert, and, above all, a genuine joy to work with. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Sally Oakley for making our special day truly magical.

  Fabulous Planner

  Sally Oakley planned our daughters wedding in June 2023. She quickly figured out my daughters vison, and helped us make all the necessary vendor contacts (we live in CT but the wedding was in NC). She gave us great advice on all aspects of the wedding, and led all the logistical arrangements. On the wedding weekend she ran the show flawlessly. That allowed all of us to fully enjoy the weekend. Sally is a fun person to work with and the ultimate professional. She is the best event planner we have ever used (we have used many).

  Incredible Wedding Planner!

  We worked with Sally to plan our wedding from start to finish and she was absolutely incredible to work with! Sally's dedication, knowledge, organization, and responsiveness made the whole process for me so easy. She attended all the important vendor meetings, made sure we stayed on the timeline, and helped bring my vision to life. She never missed a detail and I am so incredibly thankful we worked with Sally. She is positive, upbeat, and always has a solution. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for assistance in planning their wedding - whether it's the day of assistance or the full planning package.

  A superhero!

  Mandi + Sally Oakley were incredible and helped the wedding go off without a hitch. Mandi dealt with anything that popped up with guests or other vendors quickly, calmly and professionally, and included small details that helped us savor the little moments (like having champagne and appetizers ready for me and my husband so we could take a moment and celebrate with each other before going into the reception). I'd 100% recommend working with her!

  Amazing wedding planner!

  I highly recommend booking Sally to help with your wedding planning needs! Sally made me feel comfortable from our first meeting and was very communicative and willing to answer any questions (no matter how silly the question). She is very organized and professional and handled everything on our wedding day so we could truly enjoy our day.

  10/10 for Sally!

  We worked with Sally to plan our wedding and she was absolutely terrific! Sally's knowledge, organization, and responsiveness made the planning process as stress free as it could be. She made sure to prioritize all that was important to us, and ensured that everything happened on schedule (e.g., vendor selection, tastings, etc.). On the weekend of the wedding, Sally took care of every little detail which allowed us to enjoy time with our guests to the fullest. Would highly recommend Sally to any and all.

  Beautiful Baby Shower

  We had our first grandchild's baby shower at The Umstead with Mandi Degnan, from Sally Oakley, in charge of everything. We know nothing about party planning but did have a few ideas that we weren't quite sure how to plan out but Mandi reassured us that we were in good hands. Her attention to detail was simply amazing! From the directional/seating chart boards, name place cards, picture taking area with balloons and greenery, the flowers were beautiful, the food and service were outstanding, and the entire process was so simple knowing Mandi was in charge. We were beyond thrilled with the way everything turned out!

  Hands down the best investment for our wedding@

  We had Kathy as our wedding planner and she TRULY went above and beyond. I cannot imagine having this day without her there through it all. She was a gem to work with from the initial stages of planning, through reviewing contracts and coordinating with vendors- she was phenomenal. If you are deciding between whether or not to hire a planner, or deciding between planners/ coordinators- you cannot go wrong with Sally Oakley Weddings & Events- specifically Kathy. She was a true professional who was clearly respected in the industry and knew it inside and out. Hiring her was the best use of our money for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her enough. As the bride, she made my wedding day easy and there was never a time I was wondering what I needed to do, or where I needed to be. The best decision we could have made!

  Highly recommend Kathy!!

  Kathy was fabulous to work with!! Imagine your dream wedding without all the stress and that's what you'll get with Kathy! She is very attentive, experienced in the industry, and fun to work with! We live out of state so needless to say we were worried about planning from afar. I expected to feel very stressed but I never really did which I fully attribute to Kathy. I could relax the whole time knowing that she was keeping everything on track and had it handled. She made our wedding vision come to a reality and I cannot tell you how many compliments we received from our guests! We are forever grateful and cannot recommend her enough!!

  Can’t say enough good things!

  I used Sally and her team as my day-of coordinator and couldn’t have been in better hands! Sally was so supportive, helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process whenever I had a question, but I could not have done my wedding day without her! It’s so nice to have the peace of mind that she is following up with all of the vendors and making sure everything and everyone is on time and that I didn’t have to focus or spend time doing that on my wedding day. She was super helpful with providing the timeline for my wedding day and helping me figure out when vendors needed to arrive, when we needed to be dressed, when photos needed to begin, etc. Her experience and expertise is so evident and she was always such a calming presence. You will not regret choosing Sally!

  Sally Oakley

  It was great working with Sally. The venue I used required for us to have a coordinator. Sally and I met a few times. Exchanged a couple of emails here an there. Made sure that things ran smoothly on the big day. She is a great value for her services.

  As a wedding planner myself, I knew Sally was the perfect planner for our big day!

  Being a bride who works as a wedding planner, everyone assumed I would simply plan my own wedding - but I knew from day one of planning I would want Sally Oakley to be a part of my big day. Her warmth exudes in each meeting, every interaction, and especially on wedding day. Her years of experience keeps the calm during inevitable chaos of a wedding day. I would not have done our day without her support!

  Amazing Day-of-Coordinator

  Mandi, with Sally Oakley Weddings & Events, was the day-of-coordinator for our wedding at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, and we are so thankful for her help and her hard work!
  
  Mandi was super easy to work with, easy to reach, and she was able to answer any question that we had. A couple months before our wedding, she helped us nail down details for how our wedding day would flow, and she created a detailed timeline for our day to keep everyone organized. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Mandi really took everything off of our plate, and she organized all of our vendors. She also ran our rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what to do for our ceremony!
  
  On the day of our wedding, Mandi worked with our venue coordinator at the Inn to oversee set up and make sure everything ran smoothly so that my husband and I could focus on each other and our guests. She was also super calm and professional when we made a last minute switch in ceremony locations due to weather! We were genuinely impressed at how quickly and efficiently everyone was able to pivot!
  
  We loved working with Mandi, and she really made our wedding day so wonderful and memorable.

  Amazing work!

  Sally did an exceptional job helping us plan for our wedding. The week of the event, I was not feeling overwhelmed because Sally handled all of the leadup and timelining communications with our vendors. In addition, Day-Of, my mom and I were able to enjoy ourselves while Sally took care of EVERYTHING. She is truly wonderful--I cannot recommend her enough!

  The best- look no further

  I am beyond thankful for Sally Oakley Planning- in particular with our planner Kathy. We were a postponed wedding from COVID and Kathy made sure to help and comfort us along the process. Kathy is so kind and so knowledgeable. She has worked in multiple services throughout the wedding industry (rentals/ catering/ planning), which made it so helpful for vendor recommendations and relations.
  Kathy is extremely quick to respond to emails and really helpful with the knowledge she brings. I was planning the wedding from another state, so she was always willing to do things by zoom/ help me with things that were local.
  
  Kathy was so organized on the day of the wedding! I was really grateful because she only came to ask me two questions the entire day. It made things less stressful and she really just took care of everything.
  
  Kathy is an amazing person and planner, and our day went so smoothly thanks to her! I would highly recommend her!
