  The Best Decision for Our Wedding!

  I could not imagine my wedding day without Steph Saunders! From the day of booking, to after our reception, Steph managed everything with a smile and pure professionalism. Steph was attentive to our questions and requests, managed every detail and issue that came up, and was so calm through the entire day. She genuinely was one of the highlights of my entire day. All my family, bridal party, and other vendors were telling me about the positive impression she left. Booking with Steph was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

  THE BEST Wedding Planner

  I cannot describe enough how incredible Steph was. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. She made our wedding stress free, I didn't even have to think about anything on our wedding day. She walked me off a ledge multiple times during the planning process and she did it with such grace and love. She is so kind, organized, and respectful. Think no longer, you've found your planner!

  Flawless Wedding Weekend

  Steph is easily one of the most personable, communicative, and caring planners out there. She puts her heart into what she does and goes above and beyond for ALL. We had a HUGE wedding party and she managed all of us and our chaos seamlessly. If anything went wrong on wedding day, I never noticed because she made sure everything kept flowing perfectly and that every single little detail was special. She may or may not have climbed several sets of stairs several times for me for shoe changes, dress changes, you name it! If we could do it all over again, we’d choose Steph 10 times out of 10. ❤️

  Steph is the best decision we made, immensely helpful & supportive, and a joy!

  Hands down - hiring Steph was the BEST decision we made in preparing for our wedding day. Steph is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, responsive, organized, thorough, easy to work with, adaptable, kind, and she has such a way of making you feel at ease throughout every step of the process.
  In the early stages, she supports couples in identifying next steps and in helping to connect you with necessary resources & context to identify priorities and make decisions. Her vendor coordination leading up to the wedding is a lifesaver. There are so many questions (big and small) regarding insurance, day-of timelines, specific contractual needs, etc. that Steph handles easily and with grace--and not having to personally navigate as many unknowns is a relief to say the least. She was able to alert us quickly when we needed to pivot or provide additional information to get a ball rolling. And finally, her coordination the weekend of the wedding was just perfect. Whether you are a very details-oriented person with a specific vision to be enacted or someone who has a more abstract idea that would prefer deferring much of the nitty-gritty to the insights of a professional (or anywhere in between!), Steph is your person! She is genuinely happy to meet each couple where they are and support their needs. As part of her wedding coordination, she also facilitates the décor setup and take-down, which was SO GREAT. She has such an eye for detail and somehow manages to make everything happen seamlessly--so on the day of, whether she is helping the florist set up flowers, checking in with the DJ before an entrance, carrying the train of a wedding dress before the walk down the aisle, overseeing the timeline, or anything else, she is right there making sure the day goes as planned so couples can be present the day-of. Though she was available in so many ways for us personally, one thing I'll mention is that we needed to pivot and make back-up plans the weekend-of due to a forecast of rain, but Steph made it so easy, ensuring everything ran smoothly and we could pivot without stress. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

  Amazing work ethic and professionalism!!

  Steph is amazing!! To give a little insight about our wedding, it was at our family's property about 50 minutes outside of Richmond. This meant that we had to rent tables, chairs, bathrooms, and a dance floor, as well as have food vendors come to the property, and we provided transportation for our guests from Richmond. So there were many pieces that had to be organized in order to make our wedding day special. While we took care of a lot of the initial planning, Steph was there to make sure everything stayed organized and on-time, as well as arriving on site the weekend of the wedding to make sure that everything was perfectly executed.
  
  Right from the start, Steph answered our many questions about vendors and tiny details months before the wedding. She was attentive to emails and worked around our busy schedules. We received positive feedback from the vendors we worked with, which is not surprising because she’s delightful to work with. Steph took care of all communication with vendors related to the timeline and even stepped in to help when vendors were being difficult or unhelpful.
  
  On the wedding day itself, Steph and her husband Ben worked harder than anyone else to make our vision come to life. They came early to help us finish up tasks and make sure everything looked exactly as we wanted. And they stayed late to clean up because Steph understood that we wanted to take some of the chores off my parent's shoulders since we were hosting the wedding on their property. The rentals team even mentioned how easy our pickup was after the event, all thanks to Steph staying late to ensure the cleanup was done correctly. There was a hiccup with the music at one point during the day due to the DJ and when we let Steph know she immediately worked to rectify it. Never once did she complain about any of our expectations and was always working with a smile on her face.
  
  We had an AMAZING wedding and we owe a lot of it to Steph!! We are forever grateful to her. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it- she’s simply the best!

  Month of wedding planner for a wedding in Charlottesville, VA

  Steph was excellent to work with. She had the knowledge and experience which put me at ease that my event would be well-managed throughout the process. Month of is deceiving because Steph was available to answer questions and consult well before that. Once we were 30 days out , she kicked in to high gear with event management, monitoring the contracts and details so I was not weighed down by that. The weekend of the event was seamless. Steph was calm and in control, showing no stress despite our horrible weather and resulting changes we were forced to make. The feedback from my other vendors was very favorable as well. They found Steph to be easy to work with and unobtrusive during the whole event. I confidently recommended Steph Saunders Events!

  Steph is amazing!

  Steph did an incredible job. She was hit with some challenges during our wedding and she persevered through it all. She is also the sweetest! It was so easy working with her, it felt like we knew each other forever. Thank you Steph for making our day everything we envisioned it to be! Couldn’t have done it without you.

  Steph is a lifesaver!

  Steph is an absolute lifesaver when it came to planning my wedding. I purchased the 30 days prior package, however, Steph and I were in contact 6 months prior to the wedding because she was willing to begin the initial planning process to ensure I felt comfortable and reassured throughout the planning process. Steph was always extremely responsive, extremely approachable, and willing to jump in at all times to ensure I was able to capture my wedding the day the way I always envisioned it. Her attention to detail, friendly personality, and take charge attitude gave me the warmth and comfort that my day was going to be flawfless because she was running the show! I cannot say enough great things about Steph, as she was the ideal wedding planner and also was very light hearted throughout the process, making the planning process a breeze. If you book with Steph, you will not be disappointed! Thank you, Steph for making our day everything that I imagined it to be plus so much more. It was truly the happiest day of my life and a large part is due to your confidence, organization, and attention to detail!

  Best Wedding Ever

  My daughter's wedding would not have been the wonderful perfect day that it was without Steph. Steph was very organized, available for any questions we had and most of all kind. The day ran smoothly from the church to the final sparkler send off. We hired Steph for day of planning but she was so much more, great communication, kept all the vendors organized and ensured that we had a stress free and magical day. Many thanks to Steph and her professionalism. Teresa T.

  Steph is a pro!

  Our only regret is that we did not hire Steph to assist us with our wedding planning sooner! As our day-of coordinator, Steph took total control of the day and made sure that the train stayed on the tracks. She was super professional and organized in her coordination with the vendors in the days leading up to the wedding as well. Absolutely recommend her services for your big day!

  Smartest thing we did

  Surely like other couples, you think of ways to “save” on your wedding. Unequivocally, we were able to save time, stress, and many headaches. Hiring Steph was the smartest decision we made for our wedding. Her ability to coordinate, go above and beyond, and unload all the stress from the bride & groom on the wedding day cemented the fact we made a good decision.

  hire Steph immediately!!!!

  We could not recommend Steph enough! Not only was she professional, communicative, and organized, but she might be one of the purest, sweetest people we’ve ever met. We hired her to coordinate our wedding at the cavalier yacht club with around 200 guests, including our 21 person bridal party, and she did it with such ease and grace 🤍 we have been in bridal parties before and a priority of ours was to hire someone that not only we loved, but that our family and bridal party would trust and love, too. She seriously surpassed all expectations. She listened to the things we wanted and executed them seamlessly! 10000/10 recommend her for any event you’re planning!

  Steph is a fantastic coordinator and a joy to work with!

  I would recommend Steph as a coordinator for any wedding or event - she was our coordinator for our wedding in Charlottesville and she made the whole event - esp the day of - SO much easier. She promptly answered every inane question I asked (and there were a LOT) and worked her magic to somehow make a pretty hectic event completely stress free for us, even managing all the decor and racing back to my apartment from the church when we forgot the rings just before the ceremony! Thanks again, Steph for all you did!!

  Exceeded all expectations and made our night unforgettable!

  Steph was awesome! She was super responsive and did everything in a timely manner. She was able to adapt on the fly and keep things moving in the background seamlessly. She grouped everything together for us and made sure we didn't have to worry about anything! She even had the guts to tell us to leave certain things alone because she would take care of them for us. She even cleaned up for us after our event! She worked great with all the other vendors and made sure to answer all of their questions so we didn't have. She was very knowledgeable and thought of everything we couldn't think of. You won't regret having coordinate your wedding/event!

  Invaluable

  I have to echo another review on here - hiring Steph was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. She made EVERYTHING- from finding and hiring vendors, to managing costs and budgets, to detailed decorations- a breeze.
  
  She went above and beyond for us, and you can tell immediately upon meeting her that she does for every one of her couples. She is an utter professional, with tons of experience planning in the Charlottesville area.
  
  We received so many compliments on her specifically from our parents and friends. She was an absolute angel to have during the almost-year planning our wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

  You two were such a fun couple which made this process even more fun! This was such a great and unique wedding to plan, the best 363 days spent together! :)

  I wholeheartedly recommend Steph for everyone. She's amazing!

  Steph is absolutely amazing. When I first began planning my wedding, I didn't really know what a wedding coordinator was and I wasn't sure if I needed one. Several vendors kept recommending that I hire a coordinator, eventually I complied. I can honestly say that hiring Steph was the best thing I did for my wedding. I'm so happy I decided to hire a coordinator and that I hired HER instead of any other coordinator I found. I hired her for the month of my wedding but she was helpful all throughout the planning process, the month before the wedding, the day of the wedding, and even after the wedding.
  
  All of the married folks I had talked to gave me the advice of ignoring any issues that arise on your wedding day and focus on enjoying yourself. Because of Steph, I did not need to take that advice since there was not a single issue for me to deal with. Her hard work allowed me to fully enjoy my wedding and be present. She coordinated all of the other vendors, helped us decorate (which she has a fantastic eye for!), kept me and my guests/family calm, helped set-up and clean-up, gave me recommendations and advice, caught any mistakes I made or items I forgot along the way, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on of everything she did for my wedding.
  
  Steph was hands-down the best money I spent on my wedding. She was more valuable than the food, the dress, the cake, etc. because she allowed me to enjoy my wedding. Because of her, I was able to cherish and enjoy every moment with my husband and guests. I never felt stressed or anxious because I knew she had everything under control. She also worked so incredibly hard -- I don't think I ever saw her sit down or take a break. Her fee is nothing compared to all the work she did....her clients make out like bandits.
  
  This is a long review, but I just can't stress it enough how amazing Steph is and how much she did for our wedding. If she is available on your wedding date, book her immediately!

  Amazing Coordinator!

  Steph was amazing to work with! We hired her for day of coordination and it was one of the best decisions we made. Not only did she make sure everything was perfect day of, but she also spent time a couple weeks before our wedding contacting all our vendors and creating a timeline so that everyone was on the same page. On the day of, Steph was on top of everything that needed to be done from start to finish – I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She really made it possible for us to be in the moment and enjoy ourselves. We couldn't have pulled off the big day without her and I would highly recommend her to any bride! Thank you, Steph!

  Lifesaver, Innovator, Ninja--Steph is the Complete Package

  There is no way around it--wedding planning is stressful. Do yourself the ultimate favor and hire Steph Saunders. She is worth a million times her weight in gold but is super affordable. Steph is also highly professional and quick-thinking...honestly she is just freaking amazing. Our getting-ready site didn't have any full-length mirrors and she took her own mirrors off the walls of her house and brought them to our venue--that's just a tiny peek into the level of dedication you will get if you book Steph Saunders. A lot of our wedding decor was DIY and she was there to help every step of the way. She had also worked with most (if not all) of our vendors before which was a total coincidence--this just goes to show just how experienced she is. We were at a venue with multiple sites for cocktail, dinner and dancing (kind of spread apart) but she put together an amazing timeline and everything was exactly on-time. We got compliments from our guests about her, who were super impressed to learn she is a one-woman operation. There are some people who really can do it all and Steph is one of them.

  Totally Worth It!!!

  Hiring Steph as our week of coordinator was THE BEST decision we could have made for our March 2019 wedding!!
  
  I plan events for a living so the planning part we had a grasp on, but we decided early on we wanted someone week of our wedding and day of the tend to last minute details, ensure things run smoothly, and deal with any of the chaos. Finding Steph was a lifesaver! From the get go she was easy to work with, prompt in responding to questions and day of the wedding an absolute lifesaver!! Steph helped to make our wedding day an absolute fairytale!

  So helpful and amazing!!!!

  Choosing Steph to help with the weekend of my wedding was by far one of the best choices I made. She made everything 100% smoother and allowed me to take it easy and enjoy the weekend. She helped with all the small details I would have definitely forgotten about in the moment to the logistical things I just couldn't figure out. She is amazing, kind and so helpful! You won't regret hiring her for your special day!!

  Only happy memories!

  That's what Steph gives you, only happy memories! I have no complaints from working with her and am so happy that I went with my gut after our first meeting and put my trust in Steph to help make our day so special. We had a very different wedding in terms of having to complete all set up and diy decorating for the ceremony and reception, Steph jumped in and helped with everything we needed. I was comfortable explaining situations to her that I was worried may play out with anxieties due to the venue, guests, and general wedding craziness but nothing seemed to phase her!!

  I cannot speak enough about how awesome Steph is! She is so professional, responsive and helpful. Thanks to her the day was perfect and ran so smoothly. She made sure every detail matched my vision and accepeted my last minute changes with a smile and grace and made them happen. She communicated with all of our vendors with kindness and professionalism to make sure everyone was ready to go.

  There are not enough words to describe how great Steph is! Any bride that is wanting wedding planning services should definitely reach out to her. Steph was my day of coordinator for my September 22nd wedding at Madison at the Mill in Orange, Va. She took the time to understand what I wanted and helped tweak little details that I wasn't so sure of. If at any point leading up to the wedding I felt lost, Steph was able to guide me in the right direction and always had suggestions when I needed ideas. I wasn't stressed at all on my wedding day thanks to her thoroughness, and everything ran smoothly and according to plan. I had multiple vendors and members of my bridal party come to tell me how much they enjoyed working with her and had so many nice things to say. She is incredibly sweet, talented, and organized, and I cannot imagine what my day would have looked like without her. I cannot recommend her enough!!

  You will not find anyone better than Steph. I booked Steph as my day-of coordinator with little-to-no knowledge of what that actually meant, just that a recently married friend recommended I find someone to provide this service. I could not be more grateful that I stumbled upon Steph's profile! She was so organized and positive the entire weekend. If we had questions, she had answers. If we wanted to change something, she made it happen without question or pause. I didn't worry about anything on my wedding day, thanks entirely to Steph! My venue only allowed for 1.5 hrs to set up prior to our ceremony. Steph got everyone organized and on task; they were done with time to spare! Seriously, other than marrying my love, Steph was my favorite part of my wedding day!
