    Absolutely Incredible!

    Absolutely incredible! Sarah and her team are so professional. I could never have thrown my wedding without her. She kept me sane and made sure to ask all the right questions. She reminded me of details that I hadn’t thought about that were a game changer! If I were to do it all over again, I’d pick SoHo every single time!

    We could not have done it without her!

    From the time we first met with Sarah through the day of our final event, she was there with great ideas, advice, and solutions! She was always a call or text away, giving peace of mind to myself as the bride and my mother! Sarah planned two events with two separate dates: the ceremony and the reception—and each was flawless.

    And all our guests noticed! After our reception our family and friends continually stated, “best wedding we have been to.”

    Bottom line: Sarah Cook is a pro and we could not have done it without her! She made our events and this year truly memorable.

    Amazing experience with the SoHo team!

    Working with Kasie and Sarah for our wedding last month was a dream! They were so easy to work with, extremely professional, and are experts at what they do! From Vendor coordination to answering small questions leading up to our wedding, they made the process so smooth. When our wedding weekend finally came, they made everything so easy and allowed us to truly enjoy our big day! Could not recommend their services more.

    The Perfect Planner

    Sarah was literally our saving grace throughout the entire process! She designed and executed our dream wedding, all while making each aspect of the wedding specific to our story! From the very first call we had with her, I knew she was perfect for our wedding! Sarah is the most responsive and attentive person you will ever meet, and it is so apparent she loves and cares so much about her brides, grooms, and their families. She went above and beyond throughout the planning process, and followed through the same during the execution! I truly cannot express how grateful we are to have had her on our team for our perfect wedding!

    Absolute Perfection!

    Sarah is hands down the best decision we made for the entire wedding and planning process. Her creativity and attention to detail are incredible. She put me at ease throughout the entire planning process (which is a challenge for this admittedly anxious bride) and I felt 100% worry free on the day of the wedding. She flawlessly coordinated numerous vendors with grace and was always available for my impromptu calls and emailed questions. She is such an advocate for her brides and an incredibly kind woman. She is truly a professional in her field, balancing active listening with creative recommendations and professional guidance when needed. She seamlessly brought my wedding vision to life and I could not be happier with how the day turned out. She is an absolute super-star of a wedding planner and I am so thankful for her passion - I truly cannot recommend SoHo Event Design & Planning enough!

    Stress Free Experience!

    Sarah put us at ease and allowed us to have a stress free weekend! In the months before our wedding, Sarah managed vendor coordination and we never had to think twice if something had been handled. On the big day, we never had to worry, and just had a blast with family and friends! Not to mention, all the details were beautiful! You will not regret hiring Sarah as part of your team.

    Best in the Business!

    Sarah's dedication to us as a couple from the moment we hired her was apparent. She was easily reachable and highly responsive, while always giving her honest opinion. She alleviated so much stress in the months leading up to the wedding giving us all peace of mind going into the biggest weekend of our lives. Going out of her way to speak with vendors, order additional supplies, etc. She was hands-down the best and most important vendor we could've chosen!

    Best planner ever!

    Sarah was a tremendous help for us in planning our special day. Her connections across town and ideas for how to make our event great all contributed to a perfect day! She was very communicative and always responded any time of the day, bringing us the peace of mind needed in preparation. She was also a superstar on our wedding day and didn't miss a beat or allow us or our families to lift a finger.. we didn't have to worry about a thing because Sarah and her crew took care of every little detail. Our wedding wouldn't have been possible without her, and we cannot recommend her enough!

    SoHo Events made wedding day SO easy

    As a bride at the wedding, it can be easy to get caught up in the celebration and friends/family. Sarah made sure that we tracked along with the itinerary so that we were able to do all that we wanted. She made sure we were well fed and always had a drink (if we wanted one). If anything went not according to plan, I would have never known because Sarah handled it all. I know for a fact that my wedding day would not have been as smooth without her! You rock, Sarah!!

    Sarah put us at ease on our special day!

    Sarah @SoHo Events was very helpful and always quick to respond to any questions. Sarah's confidence put us at ease that everything would run smooth on our special day and it did. The bridesmaids and groomsmen said she was fun to work with as well. We could not have done it without her!!!

    The best of the best!

    Where do I even begin? Sarah was the most amazing wedding planner of all time. As soon as my husband and I had our first phone call with her, I knew she would be our planner. Sarah is on it and is one of the most responsive and organized people I know. She is efficient and gets things done. She also does a great job of staying calm and keeping us calm during the very hectic months of wedding planning. Sarah went above and beyond in everything and helped with our decision making when we had decision fatigue. On the day of, Sarah and her wonderful assistant Kasie EXECUTED! I couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything turned out. My family, husband, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I recommend Sarah Cook and SoHo Event Design to anyone looking for a planner. Thank you for everything, SoHo!

    Makes you feel at ease from planning to the weekend

    Sarah is absolutely amazing. She is my kind of girl -- on top of it, attentive, and the perfect, quick-moving personality for this kind of job when there's a lot to get done. She's extremely organized. As a plus, her current assistant, Kasie, saved us day-of with my sister's veil and bustle as she used to work as a wedding dress stylist consultant!

    Perfect September Wedding - Stress-free day thanks to Sarah!

    Sarah and SoHo planned our daughter's wedding in September 2021 and we are a family that is all about being organized and timely. Sarah was all that, and then some! Everything in the wedding flowed seamlessly and exactly to the timetable. It made our daughter's wedding literally stress-free on the day of, so we could all enjoy it morning through evening. A wonderful and beautiful experience and we highly recommend SoHo and Sarah to anyone considering a wedding planner in the Charlotte region.

    The Absolute BEST!

    There are no words to describe my appreciation for Sarah and her team! From the beginning of my planning process, Sarah was someone I could go to for any questions, concerns and all my random thoughts. I cannot thank her enough for the countless calls, texts, emails and meetings. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not an easy task. She really made my whole planning process SO much easier AND more enjoyable. It was just great to have her by my side through it all! She understood our budget and helped us decide where our money would be well spent. She also gave me creative ideas that I never would have thought of for our decor. She was beyond patient with me and my mom when we had billions of questions the weeks leading up to the big day. :) When I had the idea to create menu cards two weeks before the event, she volunteered to turn them into something even better with gold grommets and ribbon tied in the corner - SO BEAUTIFUL! I also wanted a disco ball over our dance floor but realized quickly it was out of our budget. She surprised us on our wedding day with mini disco balls on the cake table with flowers and greenery around them. I almost cried when I saw them! She is the greatest example of truly caring about your clients and wanting their wedding to be the best day of their lives. Her and her team did everything imaginable that day to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. They were the calming presence we needed in many moments throughout the day/night. I will be forever grateful and cannot recommend SoHo Events enough!

    Sarah was a dream come true! She was beyond helpful and truly went above our expectations with planning, details, timing and organization! I can’t stress how much help she was for the rehearsal and wedding day.

    Fantastic Wedding - No Detail Left to Chance

    We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah and her team. Every detail was covered, every recommendation was spot on and she was able to maneuver seamlessly last minute changes. I was planning my wedding in Charlotte, NC from New York and knew very few vendors. Sarah was able to provide her sound advice on whom we should use and she arranged every detail with every vendor. She also had excellent problem solving skills and a great deal of patience, which is key in planning a COVID wedding. We highly recommend her for future events!

    Best Vendor of the entire wedding, HANDS DOWN!

    The BEST vendor of the entire wedding, HANDS DOWN!
    My venue recommended Sarah Cook to me and I was blown away by how much we didn’t even know we needed her until she was taking everything off of our plates and handling every detail of the wedding on our behalf! It was AMAZING! The amount of stress that fell off of my shoulders was worth every single penny and more! She is highly experienced, extremely professional and oozes confidence, skill, and dedication! She has a beautifully designed and easy to navigate software program for the couple, the venue, and the vendors to have a master timeline of the day, a seating chart with guests names, a layout of the ceremony and reception, and EVEN a rain plan. She handled everything from the timeline to the dress code for the staff to the decor set up and tear down! She was the first person there and the last person at the end of the night. She worked tirelessly and relentlessly to ensure that no detail was overlooked. She was diligently orchestrating the biggest day of our lives and she executed it PERFECTLY! It was the most incredible, magical, and beautiful day of our lives! It was truly the wedding of our dreams in fact, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Sarah! She was always there for me to vent to, had a solution for any problem or challenge that arose, and kept me organized, calm, and balanced! She is absolutely incredible and while I could go on and on- I’ll simply say: HIRE HER! It’s the best decision you’ll make for your wedding & you won’t regret it!

    Best Wedding Planner


    I cannot say enough about how INCREDIBLE Sarah was! She made the process enjoyable and smooth. Hiring Sarah was hands down the best decision we made from the start. She experienced 2 postponements with us due to COVID. Sarah supported me while we re-planned my wedding to a different venue & state. She handled our contracts, as well as all of the small details that came up during the last few weeks before the wedding. I could go on and on about the day of our wedding. Not once did I, the groom, or my mom stress on our big day. She coordinated so many different things, and had the ceremony and reception set up perfectly! I know as a bride you fear being so stressed out and not once did I feel that at all. We even had a pop up rain shower right before our ceremony, but the Sarah handled the logistics of it amazing. Also, the compliments I received from my vendors, venue coordinator, family and friends about Sarah were phenomenal. She was so organized and on top of everything at all times! I couldn’t of had a better planner by my side to help me make my dream day so special.

    If you are considering booking SOHO EVENTS don’t think twice about it!

    Outstanding from Design through Execution - Highly Recommend

    Being a Type A control-freak, the idea of choosing someone to help me with the end-to-end planning of my sister's bridal shower was terrifying. Given the fact that I live in CT and my sister in Charlotte, plus the fact that I'm the only member of the bridal party, I didn't see any other way to pull off the perfect shower for my lovely sister. I can across Sarah and her events company in my searching. Her instaphotos and website really grabbed my attention so I reached out. Her near immediate response to my email and our crisp, to-the-point follow up discussions made it clear to me I could end my search. I shared with her a very rough idea of what I was thinking as well as my sister's and my Pinterest boards so she could get a sense of the bride's style. We worked through venue ideas/options and she was really helpful and flexible with me as we explored options and narrowed the list down. Once we selection the location, she quickly pulled the design board together and WOW, it was SPOT ON. I don't have that creative part of me so I was really intimidated by turning my crude ideas into something beautiful but Sarah did it! She brought in top-notch local vendors, all of whom she'd worked with before and was very comfortable with. She managed all of the contracts and payments on my behalf. And then, when the day finally came, she was there to set everything up, stayed to make sure the day ran smoothly, and then cleaned everything up at the end. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. She was amazing in her work and, as it turns out, she's also a lovely person! I wish I had another event to plan and/or that I could clone her and bring her to CT with me! THANK YOU SARAH! And to anyone on the fence....HIRE HER. You will NOT be sorry you did!!

    Most Valuable Attribute

    SOHO Events was paramount in uniting my and my wife's very different taste into one perfect vision.

    Sarah understood our vision and walked us through options and suggestions making our decision-making process easy and fun and kept a lot of stress off of us. Their knowledge of procedures, schedules and options kept us on track and prevented any last minute rushes.

    The end result was an enjoyable experience in planning our special day and a wedding that left both my wife and myself speechless. This absolutely would not have been possible without Sarah and I PROMISE you will be glad you went with SOHO Events.

    Where do I begin?! Incredible!

    If I could offer Sarah more than 5 stars, I would! Her eye for detail, flawless taste, and overall positive and professional attitude made her a complete joy to work with! From start to finish, Sarah was proactive and such a great listener-- she made sure our event was exactly what we had in mind (and more!). Plus, she clearly has loads of experience and a great reputation with vendors that set us at ease right away. She was such fun to work with and allowed for us to really enjoy the planning process while she handled every little detail :) We couldn't be happier with our experience or rave about her more! Thank you, Sarah!!

    Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    As the Mother of the Groom, working with Sarah Cook on the rehearsal dinner was simply a delight. Sarah is a true professional....calm and confident of her knowledge of vendors and options and creative ideas for the event. Sarah's attention to each and every detail was amazing. She is extremely organized and executed her plan accordingly. Sarah offered such great comments and insights from the beginning to the end from the smallest detail to the overall grand plan. Sarah saw our vision our made it become a reality....to every detail.

    Flawless Execution

    AMAZING - Sarah is out of this world. Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Food, Reception, you name it everything was simply perfection. She was friendly, professional, went above and beyond, and she executed EVERYTHING just right. I simply can not say enough positive things about SoHo Event Design and Planning.

    Waste of time and money

    A month after signing with Sarah, we were still without a cohesive vision or a single signed vendor. Despite our direction, her suggestions remained consistently off-base.

    When we finally pushed for the personalized, professional recommendations we were paying for, she abruptly canceled our contract, citing a difference in 'philosophy.' Turns out her “philosophy” is that you hire her friends, no questions asked. Her inability to deliver cost us thousands of dollars and weeks of irreplaceable planning time.
