Leeza M. Sent on 04/08/2024Best decision we made!
I could write a book about Sarah, truly. We hired her because we could tell right off the bat that she knew her stuff, and for her experience working with our venue, Union Mills Public House. Sarah was instrumental throughout the wedding planning process in helping our vision come together and answering any and all questions we had pop up. Whether it was helping me choose the right rugs that matched the venue, to helping us create a ceremony layout that fit our vision, to helping me understand exactly how much of everything we needed. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was extremely communicative with both us and our vendors, ensuring that everything was absolutely in line. I can't event count the amount of times that my husband and I looked at each other and went "we literally could not have done this without Sarah." We had a lofty vision with a ton of details, and every single one of them was taken into account by Sarah and her team the day of. She kept the timeline moving incredibly well - working in step with the caterers, our photographer, videographer, DJ, and even our family members and wedding party.
You can just tell that there is so much passion in the way that Sarah works. It was so easy to develop the level of trust in her and her team to bring together the best day of our lives, and hiring her as our coordinator was by far the best decision we made in our planning process.Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Already replied on TK but you're the BEST, a total wedding planning PRO, and I will miss working with you SO MUCH! -

Working with Sarah was a dream come true. Right from the beginning I knew I had made the right decision. I knew I was going to need help throughout the planning process and Sarah immediately reassured me that she would be right there with me throughout. Sarah provided us with an amazing welcome package as well as a planning checklist, and budget sheet to keep us on track. She was always available with suggestions for vendors we still needed and to read over all the contracts. Sarah met with us every month and kept us so on track that planning was a breeze. As we got closer, Sarah made sure we had everything we needed and that all the vendors were on the same page. On our wedding day Sarah coordinated with the help of two of her SBD teammates and everything went smoothly. I honestly can’t recommend Sarah and her team enough. They truly are spectacular!Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Ahhh the PICTURES. Theresa - you and Dan were a JOY to work with and I thank you so, so much for adding me to your vendor team and giving me some creative freedom. I am so happy that my processes worked well for you and that you enjoyed your wedding planning process. It's always a part of my ultimate goal! -

Brooks G. Sent on 01/18/2024Highly recommend sbd!
Sarah & the SBD team were absolutely amazing! They all went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Very timely responses, professional, detail-oriented and you could tell they want the best for their couples, which we felt and really appreciated! My wife and I are in the industry and thought we could plan and execute our wedding...Boy were we wrong, we hired Sarah and she took over and absolutely crushed it! If you're thinking of hiring a planner, think no more and just book them!Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Thank you, thank you, Brooks and Angie! I am so happy and honored to have been a part of your team. Christine and Emily enjoyed working with you and being their on your wedding day. The emo hour was a 2023 highlight. -

Angela S. Sent on 07/04/2023Excellent, flexible, and FUN!
Sarah and her team were amazing, I don't know how we would have gotten married without her. We planned our Indian fusion wedding at the Howard County Conservancy with Sarah's help, and she was the perfect addition to our vendor team. We were planning our wedding from outside of the state,and I am not a type A, super organized person, so wedding planning was a struggle for me. Sarah always had thorough check-ins with us and told us what we should be focusing on when. She handled our shuttle bus completely and got the schedule down perfectly for our after party and two hotel blocks. She knew the venue inside and out and all the rules that come with having a wedding at a nature center. Admittedly, there were some complicated cultural differences that came with our wedding, and Sarah navigated them with ease and was sensitive to any differences. On our wedding day, we just got to relax and enjoy the day. If there were any problems, I honestly didn't know they happened. We got the wedding day we dreamed of! I would highly recommend Sarah and her team!Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Ahhh you guys are the BEST! Seriously I am so thankful that I got the chance to work with you both, AND your families. Your day was amazing and your guests had so much fun. Genuinely enjoyed working with you both during each and every step. -

Kevin H. Sent on 05/07/2023Sarah made our day happen!
We were so grateful to have Sarah at Sleeping Bee helping us coordinate our day. Her expertise was invaluable - we were a DIY couple, and were so grateful to the checklist of details that Sarah provided us to make sure our day went smoothly! And Sarah had lots of experience with all our vendors, which meant that she and our other vendors all had answers to questions we didn't even know to ask.
In the early planning with our venue, we also had a small snafu with the scheduling for our rehearsal dinner, and Sarah went above and beyond to help us coordinate a great solution with the venue even before she was officially "on the clock" with us.
Sarah made sure on our wedding day that we were able to relax and enjoy the day since the details and logistics of the day were all organized and in great hands.Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Thank you so much K&E! Your wedding was such an elegant DIY and your families were absolutely amazing (and I heard the margaritas we delicious). Your personal details and work were absolutely perfect in every way. You ROCK. -

We booked Sarah as our Month-of Coordinator and it was probably the smartest decision I've ever made! Not only did Sarah smoothly execute my vision for the reception and ceremony decor, but she really made sure the day ran smoothly and I trusted her completely. She was prepared and on hand for anything we needed... including sewing me into my reception dress when the zipper broke beyond repair.
I highly HIGHLY recommend Sarah for your planning and coordination needs!Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
You're the SWEETEST. Thank you so much - you looked amazing in the reception dress so I am so relieved we were able to sew you in :) -

Katie T. Sent on 06/22/2023I'd Hire Them Again in a Second
Sarah & her Sleeping Bee Designs crew were everything I could have ever asked for. I'm a very DIY person, so I thought "hmm, maybe I don't need a coordinator." Spoiler- yes you do, everyone does, don't do it yourself. I promise it's worth every penny.
We first met Sarah at a wedding expo in Downtown Frederick, and immediately loved her personality. We emailed several months later, and were so relieved she was available on our date. The second you book her, she'll give you things to start thinking about. Like, things that never even crossed your mind, but duh!
Organized doesn't even begin to explain SBD. Our wedding timeline was planned perfectly, down to the minute. Sarah was on top of rallying the other vendors, and even joined me for a couple calls with them, leading up to the wedding. All our vendors said the similar things- "Wow, she's on top of it." Or "Holy bananas, she's the most organized coordinator I've ever worked with."
The day of the wedding, we felt so taken care of. You need a drink? Don't worry- Sarah or Christine already know, and it's probably on the way. We blinked and the decorations were all packed up and in our car. Vendor tips? Handed out. Card box? Very, very secure. Something not matching up with a different vendor contract you signed? Not on SBD's watch. As we were leaving the venue the night of our wedding, Sarah gave us the best piece of advice: "Eat your wedding cake for breakfast, open all your cards in the morning, and just take it all in." We did exactly that, and it's one of my favorite wedding moments.
I don't think our wedding would have been half as successful as it was, if we hadn't hired Sleeping Bee Designs. It's been 8 months since we've been married and Sarah is still helping us with things- can you say newspaper feature? Looking back at our whole experience, I'd honestly pay double what we did. 💕Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
UGH I AM CRYING. I love you and Patrick so much and I am beyond thankful for you (and Dino Bandito). You are an absolute gem, and I will remember working with you and Patrick for a very, very long time.
Drinks soon, please!? -

Alexis B. Sent on 12/26/2022Absolutely amazing.
Working with Sarah and her team at Sleeping Bee Designs was the best decision we could have made for our big day. We hired SBD to be our month and day-of coordinator, though Sarah was available via email/phone prior to that time. She made it a point to touch base with us often en, frequently giving reminders if we needed to talk to this person, or hire that person, which was SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. Both my husband and I have full-time jobs, but we didn't have the budget to hire a full-time wedding planner, so this was a great option. We also knew we weren't the most versed in "wedding speak", and were unfamiliar with many things that happen throughout a typical wedding day. We knew we wanted to represent both American and Eastern European wedding traditions during our day. Sarah would make suggestions, and we would take them into consideration and change things if wanted. It was great to have someone so knowledgeable yet so willing to accommodate new things.
Sarah was very patient with us and our vendors, and did a great job following up with and and with them. She created the schedule, executed it, and was flexible the day of. For example, we asked if we could do the cake cutting outside on our venue's patio instead of inside, and her team made it happen in twenty minutes. It was amazing.
SBD will go above and beyond to make sure your day goes smoothly and will help navigate the inevitable bumps that happen. Sarah's professionalism if top notch, and I highly recommend this vendor to everyone.Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Thank you SO MUCH Alexis & Vlad. Your wedding was an absolute joy, your families are precious and FUN, and your wedding party was an absolute blast. Special shout out to Tyler for being one of the best officiants ever! A great highlight of the year for me and I am so happy we met at Big Fake Wedding Baltimore -

Sarah and the SBD team were absolutely wonderful. Professional, organized, on top of every detail. My husband is a program manager and very detail oriented. No pressure for the SBD team. We didn't have to lift a finger. Every detail was accounted for, even ones I hadn't considered. I HIGHLY recommend the SBD team for your event.Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
You guys are the BEST! Thank you so much :) You handled the unexpected that day like total experts and working with you and your families was an absolute fun adventure.
Give those puppers a hug from me! -

Honeywood R. Sent on 09/03/2022Organized + Well Communicated Planner
We had the opportunity to work with Sarah from Sleeping Bee Designs on a wedding this weekend. After working with her, we have nothing but amazing things to say. From the start, Sarah was very communicative and leading up to our rental delivery, she made sure everything was communicated to all of the vendors in an extremely organized manner. Sarah will make sure your wedding runs smoothly between all of your vendors and any other moving parts. We would highly recommend Sarah if you are looking for a wonderful planner.Sleeping Bee Designs's reply:
Thank you Cori and team! I LOVE working with you and cannot wait to work with you again. Thank you for your flexibility and going through all of those proposal changes with me. -
