    Superwoman

    To say that Sarah made our wedding absolutely exceptional would be an understatement.

    Sarah has now become family to my entire family.

    She took me and my husband under her wing to make sure that our day was unforgettable.....which OF COURSE it was!

    We booked Sarah almost two years prior to our actual wedding date and she was truly a blessing during our entire planning process. Her attention to detail and attitude made planning a wedding so much easier. She helped plan every last detail of our wedding from start to finish. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her!

    If you're reading these reviews narrow down a wedding planner, stop your searching right now and book with this superwoman! We promise that you will have an incredible and extremely special wedding if you do!

    Sarah is Amazing!

    Sarah did a phenomenal job from start to finish! After planning 1 wedding and then postponing it 6 months later, Sarah helped us get across the finish line and have fun with the entire process. She was very resourceful and created a fantastic vendor team that made our wedding day so special. Sarah is very flexible and beyond patient with us during the entire planning process. She offered a variety of resources, tools and insight to set up the weekend for success. I cannot rave more about how great she is and how she is able to help you execute your vision. During these uncertain times, Sarah found joy and fun in the planning process when most found it to be stressful. I would highly recommend Sarah!

    Sarah made everything run so smoothly!

    Sarah was so lovely to work with! She is so kind and patient, and she made our day run absolutely smoothly. She was fabulous about giving people gentle directions and keeping everything running without being intrusive. We had a strolling reception with stations and cocktail style service, which is extra challenging to keep on track because by design it has a lot less structure. We were really impressed with her ability to adapt to situations as she anticipated them. For example, she asked us if we wanted to do our first dance earlier than we had planned to do it, because people had all sat down to eat and she thought it would be a good idea to avoid disrupting the flow later. Her instincts were right on! She also went above and beyond in so many other way, like assembling the centerpieces, steaming my dress herself, and organizing all the cleanup/load out which was the last thing on my mind at the end of the night. She kept everything absolutely stress free on our wedding day and was just such a sweet and soothing presence to have helping us. We just enjoyed her as a person so much, which I think is really great dynamic to have with any vendor you spend a bunch of your wedding day with! Hire her!

    She's the best!

    Sarah was gifted to my husband and I from a friend. She was very understanding of what I was looking for from the get go. We were on a tight budget and she helped me stay in that budget without having to lower my expectations. On our wedding day she made me feel like an absolute queen! I had no idea of mishaps going on until after the night was over! My husband's shirt was ripped from under his arm all the way down to the bottom and she managed to make it work for the wedding. While putting the ceremony and reception together, she never stopped making sure I was okay and comfortable. She is amazing and will make your day a DREAM! It felt like she was more like a friend than someone who was hired to help us.

    I hired Sarah Anna to help plan and coordinate my daughter's wedding. It was the best decision I could have made! We luckily were able to work with Sarah Anna for a full year prior to the wedding making our big day perfect! Sarah Anna was able to provide us with the best vendors, found us the best deals and had amazing ideas. Sarah Anna was easy to talk to, easy to get a hold of, always ready to get what we needed and answer all of our questions. We could not have had the wedding we had without her! Highly recommended!

    I reached out to Sarah in the final planning stages of my wedding. I was a ball of stress, trying my best to pin down final details and make sure my vision became a beautiful reality. After my first meeting with Sarah, I quickly realized that she needed to fully take the reins. She stepped in 100% - pinning down details with the caterer, finding amazing rental deals (if I remember correctly she saved us over $3,000) and she was great at keeping everything focused and efficient. She was consistently available, and made me feel super comfortable even when I thought I was asking the silliest question and made me feel totally validated even when I thought I was being especially finicky. My only regret was not going to Sarah sooner! She is amazing!

    Sarah Anna absolutely made my entire wedding day go more smoothly! We hired her with the day of coordination package and she went above and beyond answering questions ahead of time, providing assistance, and attending the weding rehearsal. Sarah was a wonderful, calming presence on the day of the wedding and I cannot thank her enough for her thoughtfulness and consideration for our wishes!

    Having known Sarah for many years and now using her planning service for my wedding I can say she was born to do this! She is very organized, informed, and responsive. My husband and I currently live in California, but we were having our wedding in Jacksonville. Planning a wedding is difficult, but being across the country and planning a wedding was even more difficult. Sarah was able to lead us in the right direction for great vendors and would answer all our questions within hours, but usually just a few minutes (even with the time difference). She was always available to contact and would immediately contact vendors if we had a question or service need. The day of the wedding would definitely have been way more stressful and busy had we not decided to use Sarah's services. She arrived mid-morning for our late afternoon/evening ceremony and reception. She immediately started to set things up, get my ideas on decorations, and coordinate with the vendors. She really helped me, my mom, and bridesmaids sit back and enjoy the day instead of being stressed with getting everything done. It was truly a blessing to have her there the day of the wedding for all the little questions and help us sort through some of the unknowns. She helped the catering staff, photographer, and DJ stay on schedule. Looking back it was naive and silly of me to think that we would have been able to do it by ourselves. I highly suggest you look into Sarah Anna Events to help coordinate and plan your wedding. With Sarah your planning experience and wedding day will exceed your expectations and most importantly you will be able to relax and be "in the moment" on the day of your wedding instead of running all over the place. Thanks Sarah!!

    I write this review not as a client, but as a Dj who worked a wedding with Sarah Anna Events. As a client you should know what other vendors think too. So, the communication leading up to that day was great: quick responses to email and calls. There was a misunderstanding (caused by my mistake) about when I would arrive to set up. When she realized I wasn't there when my sheet said I would be she gave me a call, not to chew me out for being late, but to make sure I was ok and everything was still ON. There was a kindness and genuine concern in her voice which I appreciate. She and her assistant rocked it! They helped me when I needed it, and the three of us along with the photographer had amazing chemistry the whole night. She kept the bride at ease when we had to make adjustments to the plan, and in my opinion the event was flawless. Call Sarah Anna Events with no hesitation. They are super professional!

    I could not have imagined planning our wedding without Sarah Anna! We met with a list of experienced wedding planners but Sarah was by far the one for us. When we spoke with her about our vision for the wedding, she understood exactly what we were looking for. She also was excited about our farm-to-table theme and had lots of great ideas from the beginning!

    We were married at the Ribault Club in February 2016. We hired Sarah in June of 2015 & chose to have her handle the entire wedding planning process. Sarah involved us as much as we wanted to be involved. There were many things that we (my mom, husband, dad & I) wanted a lot of involvement with (especially our design, food & music) and other things we did not care too much about. Sarah was wonderful at updating us weekly in the planning process. We met as frequently as we wanted to meet and she was available any time for questions as we had them. She was truly a valuable resource for any questions I had and was quick to respond. She coordinated appointments for dress fittings and even helped with things most wedding planners don't care to do.

    Sarah has a host of connections in Jacksonville with wedding vendors. She was able to recommend vendors she had previously worked with which was super helpful to us. She took care of the behind the scenes work with the vendors and let us handle the fun stuff (cake tastings, color choices, etc). The vendors she recommended were not only incredibly talented but they were experienced. They knew how to pull off every detail without failure. Our band, photographer, videographer, florist, catering, rentals & lighting were all vendors Sarah recommended & loved.

    Sarah ended up paying for herself time and time again. She saved us over $4,000 with our food by negotiating with the catering company to lower our per plate price. This is just one example of many where she was not afraid to negotiate a better price on our behalf. Sarah was VITAL to our wedding!!!

    One of the first things I did post-engagement was hire Sarah to be my wedding planner, and it the best decision I ever made! She made the process extremely easy, enjoyable, and most importantly, left ME stress-free! The months leading up to my wedding were fun and exciting because I knew she had everything under control. Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to her! Sarah genuinely cares about her clients and wants your special day to be just as perfect as you do. Hire her and you won't be disappointed!!

    Sarah was a joy to work with. She helped keep everyone on task, made sure all of my little details were done, and went above and beyond what was expected of her. She made sure everything was perfect for us and still allowed herself to have some fun. I would highly recommend her to anybody!

    There couldn't have been a more perfect wedding planner for our event than Sarah. She heard the vision my wife wanted and made it happen. Every detail was flawless and there was absolutely zero stress on the bride which was another gift in itself. She heard our budget and worked with it perfectly - even helping us discover new ways to cut costs. I would absolutely recommend Sarah to ANYONE looking for an event planner. Organized, detailed, friendly, productive, THE BEST.

    Thank you Sarah for giving my wife her dream day.

    We honestly cannot describe how much of a blessing Sarah was for our wedding. A first we wanted to try to do the whole planning thing on our own until we heard about Sarah. When we met up with her we fell in love. She is very organized, compassionate, and has an eye how to make things just the way you want it. While working with Sarah she won't only feel like your wedding planner she'll feel like one of your closest friends. We are so happy that we had Sarah help make our Wedding Day everything and more than we imagined. We just so happened to gain a friend along the way.

    Sarah is an amazing wedding event coordinator. We did all the planning and preparing for a wedding I DJ'd at on March 1st and she had each vendor in order. She has a very sweet spirit about her. I would highly recommend her for any of your event planning needs.

    Sarah has always been a dear friend of the family. She has the uncanny ability to put everyone at ease- which is so very necessary for weddings! That being said, she was very responsible and took charge when needed. She set up a beautiful reception for my husband and I, and we trust her completely with any and every event. She is sure to make anyone's day absolutely beautiful and amazing- even better than what you dreamed of!

    We had a great experience working with Sarah for month of coordination! Looking back on our wedding day, she and her assistant, Jessica, truly delivered; and did it with such ease and professionalism! She made sure that our 'vision' came to life, and had everything under control. Sarah also has a wonderful relationship with several vendors in the area, so seeing her get to work her magic, while orchestrating the day of details with various vendors throughout the day - proved that she and her team have what it takes to make for an unforgettable event. As many brides probably encounter at some point in the planning process, I was definitely stressed/anxious at times - but Sarah was always calm and receptive, pointing out a more simplistic way of thinking and handling everything. She guided me through what the priorities should and shouldn't be at certain dates leading up to our day, and offered to take on several details for her and her team to facilitate. She really encourages her brides to enjoy the planning process and leave all the stress behind. Looking back at it all, I would encourage you to do the same as well. Brides tend to hold themselves accountable for every single detail, meanwhile, that is what your coordinator or planner is for. I think its important to point out that these coordinators/planners do this professionally weekend after weekend, and have the experience to take on everything that you, as the bride, should let go of (mentally and physically). Let them help you, it will all turn out beautifully!
