Willow Hill Designs is the BEST OF THE BEST!
If you are considering Sophia from Willow Hill Designs to be your wedding planner, no need to look any further—Sophia is your gal! I cannot say enough about Sophia and her team!
After looking at fancy wedding venues, our daughter decided she wanted to get married at a sleep away camp. I panicked. A sleep away camp? How were we going to pull this off?
We both agreed that the most important decision was hiring the perfect wedding planner. We needed someone special that could throw an amazing wedding at a sleep away camp. We interviewed a lot of party planners. When we interviewed Sophia, she had an immediate calming effect. She understood my daughter’s vision and was excited about it. She told us that her niche was taking a blank canvas and creating a beautiful wedding. My daughter and I both agreed, without hesitation, Sophia was our wedding planner.
Sophia is professional, kind, and genuinely a delight to work with. From the minute we spoke to her, we adored her and loved her throughout the entire process. We are sad the wedding is over because we had so much fun planning everything with her. We miss her!
Sophia is extremely organized—she kept us on task hiring vendors, kept a thorough to do list, managed all the vendor contract deadlines, orchestrated every timeline for the entire weekend, and throughout it all, she was kind, understanding, extremely helpful and most importantly, she was accessible.
She has wonderful vendors she works with, and great ideas for décor, flowers, escort walls, tents, etc., and remembers all the tiniest details like bathroom necessities for guests at the reception. We had detailed to do lists after every call, and she helped us source even the smallest items.
My daughter’s wedding was a huge undertaking-- a 4 day weekend beginning with providing buses and boxed suppers for all the friends coming from NYC to the Adirondacks on Thursday. Festivities began with a Welcome Party and Bonfire on Thursday evening. Friday—breakfast for everyone and then lakefront opened with water skiing, banana boating, canoeing, paddle boarding, and more. After Lakefront, a Barbecue lunch and Color Wars. Friday night was the Rehearsal Dinner and Bonfire. Saturday morning Soccer Cup, Tisch, Ketubah signing, Wedding, Reception in the Dining Hall, Bonfire and after party. A final Sunday brunch before the buses loaded to head back to NYC. Phew…. Who would want to take that on?
We had to have a rain plan and sun plan for all events (including board games, boozy bingo, karaoke, beer pong, a tent, etc.). We had to crane in air conditioning for the dining hall and so much more.
When we arrived on camp on Wednesday before the wedding weekend began, Sophia told us to relax and enjoy. She and her team were “on it”.
Sophia was AMAZING!!! She was in constant communication with us via text and golf cart whenever there was a decision to be made, a guest needed something, or we had a question. The weekend brought pockets of rain but no worries, Sophia and her team took care of everything. Thirty minutes before the outdoor wedding ceremony began a huge storm hit but somehow Sophia managed to not only have all the chairs dried off, but each had a program, fan, kippah, and umbrella. The sun came out right as our daughter walked down the aisle. It was INCREDIBLE!!! My daughter and her now husband had the time of their lives and enjoyed every single minute from beginning to end.
The weekend was perfect because of Sophia and her team! Thank you, Sophia (and Eyliese!) for everything that you did and for keeping us calm and enjoying every part of the planning.
We LOVED WORKING WITH WILLOW HILL!!!

Where do I start? Sophia from Wink & Willow made our wedding absolutely INCREDIBLE!! If you're in the VT/NY area, this is who you'd want as your Wedding Planner/Designer etc. Sophia is a true gem and so great to be around. She not only helped put together an AMAZING team to help plan/design the perfect wedding, but she is also an awesome human. As every bride/groom knows, trying to attempt to plan a wedding can be a stressful process, but having Sophia as our wedding planner, truly took all the stress away. I never once worried about anything during the planning process (and the wedding was in VT but we live in NJ) or on the wedding day. She is beyond organized, assertive, creative, professional, talented, fun, a good listener, problem solver! I mean the list goes on and on. If i could give Sophia and Wink & Willow 10 stars, I would! I am so grateful for her and recommend her to EVERY bride/groom to be!! -

I cannot overstate how glad my partner and I were to have Sophia and her team at Wink & Willow plan and execute our wedding in June 2019. There are SO many choices to make during the wedding planning process, and hiring Wink & Willow was -- by FAR -- the best one we made. Sophia has the experience, organization, and excellent taste that you look for in a wedding planner. She really got to know us and understand what we valued and wanted on our special day, and provided pitch-perfect suggestions and recommendations to make the planning process enjoyable (not just bearable). When friends and family ask how stressful it was to plan our wedding, they're usually shocked when I say "it was fun!". And that's all thanks so Sophia.
Sophia and her team also provided day-of execution support during both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and we couldn't believe how professionally and efficiently every detail of both days was orchestrated. No detail went overlooked, from each day's thorough itinerary (complete with contingencies), to the beautiful styling of furniture and floral arrangements. Sophia completely understood the "vibe" we were going for, and turned our outdoor setting into a truly memorable experience for all of our guests. (More than one guest commented that they felt like they were experiencing something out of a magazine, and trust me, that wasn't MY doing...).
If you're on the fence about hiring W&W, do yourself a favor and just pull the trigger. Best decision we made. -

The most memorable day
Choosing Wink and Willow as our wedding planner proved to be hands down the best decision we made throughout the process. What Sophia brings to the table that is so unique—notably for a Lake Placid wedding—is her connection with so many exceptional vendors from both near and far. We would have never found our caterer or baker, both of whom are based out of Vermont, without Sophia’s guidance and previous experience working with them.
And from the big decisions on venues and vendors down to the tiny details, Sophia knocked it out of the park. She took time to understand our vision for the decor and vibe of our day and came up with beautiful and thoughtful designs that were beyond our expectations and still within budget. When we started feeling the temptation to DIY many of the little details, Sophia guided us in the editing process without being pushy and remained eager to implement any project that we had our heart set on.
When it came to our actual wedding day, Sophia and her staff were masters at controlling the flow of the day, so that we were both able to really be present and enjoy every moment. As we celebrated into the night, she was tactfully behind the scenes making it all happen and smiling the entire time! -

So Much More Than Your Average Wedding Planner!
There are not enough "stars" or "key words" words to adequately rate our experience working with Sophia Morton (aka Wink & Willow). Aside from being an amazing person, Sophia is amazing at her "craft"! Some people may think money spent on a wedding planner is a waste, but I can tell you first hand that Sophia saved us money in the big picture. She was very skillful in negotiating contracts, getting incredible "bang for our buck," and equally important she was extremely thoughtful in helping our daughter and now son-n-law achieve their vision of this once in a lifetime event. I have had many friends tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever experienced. So if you will be planning a wedding, I suggest your first call be to Sophia Morton. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed! If you have specific questions regarding our experience, Sophia can provide you with my contact information. -

Sophia is absolutely amazing! Her decorations were so stunning that I cried when I saw them. She worked with our vendors to make planning a breeze and completely understood our vision from the very beginning. Our wedding looked exactly like my Pinterest board dream!! She worked so hard to make our beautiful, intimate, romantic wedding a reality. We were able to plan our entire Vermont wedding while living in California (with no visits!). Sophia put us at ease, took care of vendors, and decorated beautifully. We had guests who said it was the most elegant wedding they had ever attended. Sophia we can not thank you enough - you are serious proof that a wedding planner is a worthwhile investment! -
