Alison Sent on 08/04/2019We LOVE Sarah Angelique and recommend her whole-heartedly!
Sarah expertly planned and coordinated my oldest daughter's wedding two years ago at Zaca Creek Ranch in Buellton and even though my younger daughter's wedding was in Southern California (Lake Arrowhead) we couldn't imagine working with another wedding planner.
Sarah did such a FANTASTIC job on my daughter's wedding last Saturday! Even though she didn't know the area, or the vendors, she won them over quickly and formed a team which operated like a well-oiled machine -- it was like they had worked together many times before and that's thanks to Sarah! In fact a few of the vendors are trying to talk Sarah into doing more weddings with them in Lake Arrowhead. They've never seen such excellent work and were blown away by her expertise and work ethic (as are we!).
Thanks to Sarah my daughter had the wedding of her dreams and we couldn't be happier! Sarah goes above and beyond the usual duties of a planner and works tirelessly to make sure everyone is happy, all the details are handled, challenges are calmly solved (we had a bear at our wedding!!) and everyone is happy. And what makes it even better - she's super fun to work with!! We had many laughs and fun times with Sarah!
Thanks to Sarah Angelique both my daughters had the weddings of their dreams and we have a friend for life. We love you Sarah!! -

I’m gonna make this short and sweet. Sarah made my life so much easier! Everytime I felt even a little stress with anything she was right there to save the day. In fact my whole family liked her so much they hired her for my sisters wedding for fall 2019!! Thank you for all you do Sarah! -

Sarah Angelique is the absolute best wedding planner! She gave me the wedding of my dreams and made all my dreams come true! She understood my vision and really made it come to life. I can’t imagine what that day would have been like without her handling everything and making sure everything was going well. I didn’t have to stress or worry at all on my special day because I knew Sarah was on top of everything! I can’t recommend her enough. She’s the absolute best there is!!! Not to mention she has also become a lifelong friend and is planning my sister’s wedding right now!! We love Sarah Angelique! -

Wonderful experience working with Sarah
I am very grateful for Sarah Angelique for handling our wedding in Paso Robles. From the moment we met Sarah, there was no doubt in our mind that our wedding will come together beautifully. I got Sarah for the "month of" coordination, as i thought the small wedding we had planned wouldn't require a lot of work. Of course, i was wrong! No matter how small the wedding is, the amount of work is just the same! Sarah graciously kept in communication the entire time (not just the month of!) and made sure things are going according to plan. And on the day of, of course she thought of all the beautiful details that i didn't even think of! She really gets to know the couple she is working with, and makes sure that the day of the wedding goes on without a hitch.
Sarah, we can not thank you enough for our beautiful day!! We are hoping to see you next time we are in Paso, and grab a cocktail! :) -

I can definitively say that my wedding would not have happened without the talent, patience and network of Sarah Angelique.
I needed someone to help me pull off my dream wedding. But we had a lot of specific requests that needed to happen, and we lived out of town. I needed someone who understood the vibe we wanted to create - that we wanted it to be fun, romantic, relaxed, and fun but across several different locations with specific timing. I talked to many people before my brilliant photographer recommended Sarah Angelique - once I met her, there was no turning back!
From Day 1, Sarah was on the ball. She helped me find vendors. She contacted the ones I had already booked. She prepared the timeline. She noted all the picky asks for the event (grand entrances, surprising my husband with a groom's cake, setting up the various bar booze, transitioning guests from various locations in the venue) and ensured all the necessary vendors/venue folks were involved. She ran the rehearsal. She kept us on track. And she really cared about us as people and making sure we were happy.
She also was AVAILABLE. Even though she has many clients, she never made me feel like a number. She always answered my calls and texts and emails, and handled all my needs promptly. I never had to follow-up with her and beg for help. She even proactively found ways to reduce costs!! Since we were planning a destination wedding, we needed someone local who knew the area and could handle the random issues that popped up, and she nailed it. Last minute need for margarita machines? She found a vendor, booked it, coordinated deliveries, and made it so seamless. (Everyone LOVED those frozen drinks… so clutch).
I had high expectations for wedding weekend – and she exceeded it. When a last minute medical issue prevented my father from attending, Sarah went out of her way to help my mom and make sure she was okay until I arrived. When the weather wound up being 100*, she helped assemble our vendor team - IN LESS THAN AN HOUR – to move cocktail hour so guests wouldn’t burn in the scorching sun. She guarded our sweetheart table so we could eat dinner undisturbed. When I wanted certain pictures, she made sure the areas were cleared to efficiently get our pics done. They’re pretty epic.
Ladies, I know it's tempting to just find a "day-of/month-of" person. But I had no idea how much I needed a full planner. Even though I wanted to book everything myself. Sarah kept me in line, kept me on budget, and ensured that I was considering ALL my options. The amount of time, money, and energy she saved me was beyond worth it. To not be stressed on my wedding day? For problems to be proactively solved and never know about it? To be able to eat my full meal and all desserts? PRICELESS.
TRUST IN SARAH. I can't recommend her more highly – she was worth every penny. She really is an angel and a miracle worker! -
Alisa Sent on 11/28/2017There are not enough words to say how amazing Sarah is! We live in Houston, and had no idea what vendors to use or what all had to be done. Every vendor she recommended was the BEST, and they all LOVE her! They worked amazing together along with Croad Vineyard. Such a peace knowing everything was being taken care of and done right! She is by far the BEST, as a person and a Wedding Planner. My MIL wanted to take her home with her!!
You can not go wrong with Sarah, in fact I don't know how I would have done it with out her. :)
Thank you Sarah!!!

Crystal Sent on 03/07/2008PERFECT! Is the only word! ABSOLUTELY perfect! Sarah was amazing! Want to know why? Because I, the bride, did not know about any of the vendor issues and any issues for that matter. She handled everything! Everything went smoothly and perfect. There was no hitch, no issues, and no problems that I could see, which means she did an excellent job. Without her I would have or the MOTB would have had some issues to deal with. PERFECT! -

Rachel Sent on 12/14/2018"Let Go And Let Sarah"
Sarah is amazing!!! Her motto "Let Go and Let Sarah" fits her perfectly. We hired her VERY early on, like just under 2 years out, and she was responsive and helpful along the way even though I know she was super busy with weddings that were actually like soon :P I would send her texts and pics of ideas as I was trying to narrow my theme and she was always quick to give me her input. She also helped keep me in line with some of my crazy ideas and helped me with all the wedding details and etiquette I was clueless about. She set up all our vendor meetings and went to most of them and knew the right questions to ask that again, we were clueless about. And can we talk about how FUN she is?! Sarah has an amazing personality and is a riot to be around, but she also knows when to crack the whip and get stuff done! She helped make my vision of a colorful cactus wedding come true and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'll sum up my review with an example. I texted her the afternoon of the wedding, whilst in the middle of getting my hair/makeup done, to let her know that when I placed the beer order I didn't tell BevMo where to go...her response "Already handled." As a super planner/organizer type person myself it was hard to let go of control, but Sarah handled everything and after that text I knew I could truly just relax and "Let Go and Let Sarah." -

In October of 2022 I had the unfortunate experience of working with Sarah Angelique as my wedding planner, and I feel compelled to share my honest review to help others make informed decisions. In the beginning, I was filled with hope and excitement as Sarah made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. We had chosen Tooth & Nail Winery as our venue, and things started off on a positive note.
Initially, our phone meetings and vendor visits went smoothly, and I genuinely believed we were in good hands. However, as the wedding date approached, the situation took a drastic turn for the worse. Sarah began missing deadlines and became unresponsive to my messages and calls. This lack of communication and organization reached a point where I discovered that she had not even confirmed the photographer, despite my assumption that it had been taken care of.
The stress and anxiety I experienced during this time were overwhelming. Tooth & Nail Winery's team also grew frustrated with Sarah's lack of responsiveness, causing additional strain on an already challenging situation. Despite my attempts to address the issues with her, Sarah continued to apologize half-heartedly and failed to rectify the situation.
Things escalated to the point where she completely blocked me on all communication channels, leaving me in a state of panic just a month and a half before my wedding. In desperation, I had to find a new planner and redo significant aspects of the preparations. The entire ordeal was incredibly hectic, and I am immensely grateful for the support and professionalism of the team that helped me salvage my special day.
I held back from writing this review for a long time, not wanting it to be a complete condemnation of Sarah. However, it's crucial to be transparent about my experience. I strongly advise against entrusting your wedding to Sarah Angelique. Find a planner who will genuinely be there for you, uphold their commitments, and provide the support you deserve on such an important day. -

Isela Sent on 08/06/2022Steer Clear of this Wedding Planner!
In the strongest possible terms, we recommend looking elsewhere for your wedding planning and coordination needs in the Paso Robles area. We lost our deposit to Sarah, she delivered no work product, and ultimately ghosted us. Please continue reading for the details if you haven’t already crossed her off your list.
Our relationship started in early January 2022 and she was the first vendor we hired. Our venue required hiring a coordinator and provided a few recommendations. We thought that experience with the venue and relationships with local vendors would serve us well, so we hired her.
First signs of trouble occurred in February. Upon us hiring her, we communicated a date that we’d travel to Paso Robles from our home in the Bay Area for late Feb, providing 6+ weeks lead time for her. It’s an expensive trip for us plus we have full lives with work and family obligations, so we wanted to lock in the key vendors on this trip that required in person meetings. We reiterated the importance of this trip multiple times to Sarah. We held weekly conversations as well as emailed and texted with her, so we thought this was under control. About a week out prior to our travel weekend, we started asking about a schedule because there was none. These requests got more urgent as the week proceeded. The MORNING we were driving to Paso Robles, we asked her for details of our first vendor meeting and that’s when we finally got a schedule. Needless to say the trip didn’t go well. We wasted time with vendors that weren’t priority and some were so misaligned with our needs which a quick conversation could have avoided those meetings. But we did walk away from the trip with a couple of leads to move to contract.
In March, we started trying to follow up with Sarah on the vendors we liked as we wanted to secure them and avoid the risk of losing our date to other couples. Sarah claimed it was under control but we were never presented with contracts or asked for deposits. Our biggest follow up with was catering given the one Sarah presented to us was a complete mismatch. We undertook the search ourselves and ultimately found a caterer that fit our needs and budget.
As we got into late March and then April, we started to hear less and less from Sarah. She would fire off weird updates to assure us she was hard at work but generally wouldn’t return our texts or calls in the timely fashion as in the early part of the relationship. We still had no vendors secured and we started to get nervous and knew we needed to plan another trip. We decided to follow up with the handful of vendors we had contact info for just to see if there was a hold up somewhere. They all universally responded that they were either waiting on Sarah for a go ahead or that they didn’t have our date secured.
That’s when we ended the relationship and took the planning upon ourselves. Even in the final 48 hours, she didn’t reply to our urgent requests or even the fact we told her she was fired. To this day, we haven’t heard from her.
To say that she overpromised and under delivered is an understatement, steer far clear with your wedding planning needs.
