    Excellent planner with a fun personality

    Sammi was an incredible wedding planner. From introducing us to vendors to the execution of the whole event Sammi was there to help make our wedding perfect. While almost everything went according to plan when there was an error with a vendor Sammi stepped in and turned their SNAFU into one of the best aspects of our wedding.

    Sammi truly knows the Austin area. This knowledge helped us find some of the best options we did not know about for specific vendors, like a caterer that can pick up food from any restaurant. She helped us pick a venue that worked for our criteria, and she was there for every meeting to make sure all the right questions were asked, and our desires met.

    I think what we appreciate most about Sammi was her kind and honest approach to giving us a perfect wedding. After only a few meetings, Sammi knew when we were not completely happy with how a vendor meeting went and would immediately follow up with us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. This thoughtful approach gave us the best and only wedding we’ll ever have, so we’re thrilled that we got the opportunity to work with her. We cannot recommend her more highly as a wedding planner.

    We cannot recommend Sammi enough!

    We are a hair and makeup vendor that work with Sammi quite often. She is one of our favorite coordinators to work with, especially for our out of town brides. She is always so professional and friendly. Her organization and communication is top notch. We especially loves that she sets up Zoom meetings with clients so we have a chance to meet them with her to discuss their hair and makeup ideas and details for the wedding day. She is excellent with communicating and working out details such as contract information and day of timelines. Every wedding we have worked with Sammi has gone very smoothly and stress free. We cannot recommend Sammi enough and can't wait for more weddings with her!

    Thank you so much Amber for the amazing review and kind words! I absolutely love working with you and Brooke as well! I can't wait for our next wedding :)

    Sammi is amazing!

    I was not originally going to hire a planner but my venue required a day of coordinator and I am so glad they did because I had no idea how much I needed Sammi! She was extremely responsive and very professional. She gave me so much needed advice and made me feel as relaxed as possible on the wedding day. She took so much off my plate by communicating with my vendors and creating the perfect timeline and I loved her assertiveness with my rowdy wedding party. Very highly recommend!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much Kayla for your outstanding review! I am so happy that I was able to take away stress on your wedding day! I had a blast working with you and Tom and I so thankful that you hired me as your wedding planner!

    Amazing Panner!!

    I went back and forth for months on whether we needed to hire a planner but as soon as I started working with Sammi, I knew i had made the right choice.
    I felt completely at ease during the whole planning process, thanks to Sammi. She was super responsive and knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. She always knew what questions to ask our vendors especially since I did not and made me feel confident that we were getting the best of the best.
    She did amazing at setting up our decor and making our dream become a reality.
    If you are thinking of hiring a planner/coordinator do it!!
    And Sammi is most definitely the way to

    HIGHLY recommend!

    Sammi was awesome!! She was so hands on, very knowledgeable and ensured our vision came to life! She always went the extra mile to ensure our special day went smoothly and helped us keep calm during some very stressful moments in our planning journey. I HIGHLY recommend Sammi, you won't regret it!!

    Life-saving; made wedding planning FUN; she's now part of the family

    highlights: FULL-SERVICE planned IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS w/ invited guest count >300 for couple both working >70hrs/week. She helped make our DREAM WEDDING. She handled hiccups from COVID SEAMLESSLY, without breaking a sweat. Sammi has become part of our family & we even had her included in wedding portraits. We LOVE her.

    My husband & I are super busy medical students and we had two options: Plan a wedding in less than 4 months so we could get married before we graduate, or wait 4 years until both of us finished residency. We are both the first in our families and of our friends to get married, so we didn’t know what we were doing. Our family is large (guest count >300 people) and we didn’t want to sacrifice a beautiful wedding with a strong presence of both cultures. I say all of this to explain the difficult situation we were in & ***how strongly I believe that WE WOULD HAVE POSTPONED OUR WEDDING until after residency (4 years later) IF WE DID NOT HAVE SAMMI. I interviewed about 5-6 wedding planners and all were very sweet, Sammi was the clear choice from the minute we met. There was a very clear change in our lives once Sammi came into the picture — everyone spoke of how calm, happy and excited we were during wedding planning, as opposed to how most couples inevitably are (very busy, stressed, etc.). My husband & I’s schedule is pretty rigorous (full of 70-80 hour work weeks, 14-hour night shifts, board exams). One of my FAVORITE things about Sammi was how understanding & flexible she was about our schedule. She was fine having all of our meetings at 8-9pm when we would get off of work, she wouldn’t let me apologize for forgetting to respond for several days because she understood the demands of graduate/professional school. She didn’t care if I responded to her texts at midnight/1am and if she was still up, she would help me out. I can’t express how much this meant to me. I’m a very frugal person and spending so much money on a wedding made me anxious, especially when I thought about paying more for a wedding planner. However, now that the wedding is done, I would have paid TWICE what Sammi charged with no hesitation. She and her services are worth 2-3x what she charges and I cannot believe how lucky we got with her. Sammi became so much more than a wedding planner or a friend — she became part of the family. I ended up inviting her to my bachelorette and bridal shower. My parents kept insisting we have her over for dinner. I invited Sammi to do cake tasting with me so we could hang out and have a little date. We even included her in our family portraits that the photographer took right after the ceremony. When people ask brides how they feel after the wedding, you’ll hear many say “The day went by so fast” and “I’m so glad the planning is over.” Because of Sammi, I got to enjoy all FOUR MONTHS (that’s it!!) of wedding planning and my husband & I got to soak in every, single second of our wedding day together. You only get married once (hopefully) and I vehemently believe that it would never have been this wonderful of an experience without Sammi. My husband and I love her and are determined to keep her in our lives, through friendship and by convincing all our friends/family to hire her, too.

    Your wedding planner is the most important vendor choice you will make. I am more than happy to be a reference for Sammi and will answer any questions truthfully as a recent client of hers.

    You won't find a better wedding planner than Sammi

    Sammi was absolutely amazing. My parents are in Dallas and I had no idea how to plan my wedding. When I met Sammi, I knew she was the perfect wedding planner. She is so sweet and her calm demeanor was a perfect match for me as I can get frenzied easily at times. Every vendor I chose based on her suggestions were wonderful. She was there for me every step of the way. Not only did she go to all my appointments, she went above and beyond. She was there for me when my mother couldn't be for special moments along the way. Sammi is everything a woman could want in a wedding planner and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for me. Our wedding was more amazing than I ever expected. She even got last minute decorations I forgot to get that I needed the day of the wedding. She is a wonderful wedding planner that I also consider a friend. Thank you so much Sammi for everything you did, for not only my wedding, but for me. Ladies: If you are looking for a wedding planner, call Sammi!

    Perfect Coordinator

    I cannot recommend Sammi enough. She was very communicative and responsive from the very beginning and kept the entire night and wedding party on track. She was super helpful setting up any person requests/ decorations that I needed and contacted all of my vendors to make sure they were on time and knew where to go. Literally a saint. Thank you so much!

    Hire Sammi ASAP!

    Sammi is the best and I cannot recommend her enough! I still can't believe our luck that Sammi was free and able to help us when we frantically reached out to her just 3.5 weeks before our wedding. As soon as we hired her I felt so much calmer about everything. She made the last month of wedding preparations go smoothly and had so many helpful tips on wedding planning. She was also super outgoing and friendly and had no problem dealing with my big and chaotic family. I really enjoyed working with her!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your awesome review! I am happy that I was available as well! You and Sean are such wonderful clients! I am glad that I was able to help your wedding day run smoothly and offer helpful advice! I really enjoyed working with y'all too!

    Couldn't have done it without Sammi!

    Sammi was without a doubt one of the best vendors we had. It took some convincing of my husband that we needed a wedding coordinator, but even my husband told me that hiring Sammi was the best decision we could have ever made. I was planning my wedding without any help from family, and she provided phenomenal insight as I thought through seating charts, layout, timeline, etc. She was always one step ahead, thinking of all the things and asking other vendors things I would have never thought of. Our wedding went seamlessly and that is truly due to Sammi. Even our guests commented to us how incredible and on top of everything Sammi was. My only regret is not hiring Sammi sooner!!

    We had a quick flip of venue that I was really nervous about, but she made it work and let me know what was feasible and what wasn’t. All of our vendors loved working with her, and she truly made the day stress free. I can’t even begin to imagine what the wedding would have been without her. Sammi is such a MVP and truly the best!!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much Mandy for your glowing review! I am so happy to hear how much I was able to help you two and make your wedding day stress-free! You and Zac are the real MVPs because you two are such a marvelous couple!

    Best purchase for the entire wedding!

    Prior to Sammi, I had a day of coordinator who wasn’t up front about pricing and we had to let him go. I was scrambling a month before the wedding to find someone and my sister found Sammi on the knot. When I reached out to her, she got back to me quickly, was up front with her very reasonable pricing, and she was so on top of everything. I was working nights and she flexed to my schedule for meeting times that worked for me. She coordinated everything with the vendors, she met with me and my mom and vendors as many times as she needed to in order to have everything set up. She handled the rehearsal and the wedding day flawlessly, and she even stayed to assist with clean up when we were having a hard time with it, even though we hadn’t paid her to do that service. When I went through wedding gifts, she left me a card and a gift card. All in all, Sammi was the best thing we invested money into for the entire wedding process. Thank you for everything Sammi!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your amazing review Abby! I am honored to hear that Wishful Weddings was the best investment you made during your entire wedding process!

    Amazing, flexible and so understanding!

    We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Sammi was unavailable on our new date. She was extremely responsive and flexible while we were figuring things out and was so gracious to refund our deposit when we realized it ultimately wouldn't work out. I'm very sad to not have Sammi coordinate our day! Prior to canceling, she had been very helpful for finding vendors and determining logistics for the day. While I can't speak to the day-of-coordination experience, everything up until this point was fantastic. Thank you, Sammi!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review Jamie, I really appreciate it! I am so disappointed and sad that I won’t be able to be your day-of coordinator next year, but I am so happy that I was able to help you find some of your vendors! Take care :)

    Absolutely wonderful experience having Sammi as our day-of coordinator

    Sammi was absolutely wonderful as our day-of coordinator for our May 2021 wedding! We are fortunate enough to be Sammi's first wedding in the Austin-area and she did such an incredible job. Sammi was very responsive and met with us multiple times before the wedding to clarify details. We hired Sammi for her Stunning Silver package as we had most everything planned. She took care of ensuring the vendors knew where and when to show up at the day of the wedding, had a detailed and thoughtful timeline planned, and made the entire day stress free. If you need a day-of coordinator for your wedding I highly recommend hiring Sammi. Thank you again Sammi! Jordan & Jacian

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Wedding planning made easy!

    Sammi is AWESOME! Not only is she an excellent point of reference for all these things I know nothing about, but she's also creative and just an all-around pleasant person to work with. We live out-of-state but wanted to get married back home. Sammi was our 'boots on the ground', and trust me, we sent those boots everywhere!

    My wife and I are planners, which sometimes makes it hard to work with others since we mostly know what we want; but not Sammi. She had a plethora of recommendations on hand, and if we still couldn't find the right vendor, she went out and found more. Sammi scheduled the interviews and guided us through choosing the best ones for us. She showed up in person to every meeting for us, and kept track of all of the bureaucratic (adult-stuff), so we were always on the same page. Sammi was always prepared with her own set of questions to ensure we had the answers to things we hadn’t thought about. She debriefed us each time and reassessed our priorities. At one point, when we were having difficulties getting in touch with Hair and Makeup Vendors, Sammi drove to their locations to speak face to face with them.

    If that's not enough, I want to point out that we got married right in the middle of COVID! We were literally planning 3 weddings at once since we were never sure of what was going to happen. Sammi never flinched and made sure our backup plans had backup plans. In the end, our day was wonderful. Everything went off perfectly and Sammi coordinated it all from behind the scenes. She was so great and we're incredibly grateful to have found her when we did. Planning a wedding is hard, but Sammi makes it much easier. Thank you so much, Sammi!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much AJ for your incredible review! I absolutely loved working with you and Aubrey! Planning a wedding in 2020 had its many challenges and I am so grateful that I was able to help you overcome those challenges and help you have a wonderful wedding!

    So thankful!

    I really wanted a day of coordinator to just help the day go smoothly so I wasn’t worried about last minute things coming up! I already had everything planned so really didn’t need a lot of help. I am SO GLAD I hired Sammi and Felicia. I got so lucky and they were both able to help at my wedding. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without these girls. They set up my beautiful donut walls, helped decorate and keep us on time. I would 100% recommend them to anyone!!! So worth it and so helpful. Thank you guys so much :)

    A Super Teammate!

    We cannot say enough positive things about Sammi! She was a huge supporter and confidant throughout our wedding planning and postponement due to COVID-19. She responded promptly and thoroughly to emails, texts and calls, and she always maintained a positive and encouraging attitude no matter how frequently we reached out. We felt completely supported by Sammi and consider her to be a friend rather than a business partner. Hire her!

    Sammi is simply amazing!

    Sammi is simply amazing! I could probably write a book about how thankful I am I had her by my side through my whole wedding planning process, but here are some highlights as to why everyone should HIGHLY consider hiring her as their planner!


    Prompt
    - when I initially reached out to Sammi she got back to me so quickly. We were able to schedule an initial consultation and start planning right away. Throughout the process anytime I had a question, comment, request, moments of anxiety/stress I would reach out to Sammi and she would always get back to me in a timely manner.

    Professional/organized
    - Sammi was always very professional. She’s always on time (or super early) and she does a great job of keeping track of everything! Sammi helped me create a budget spreadsheet to keep track of spending and payment due dates. She provided me with a wedding planning timeline so I knew exactly where we were in the process, she kept track of and scheduled all of my appointments with vendors, had great vendor recommendations and gave great and honest advice along the way.

    Flexible
    - I am a nurse with a crazy schedule and Sammi was amazing! She was super understanding of my schedule, especially when I would take hours or sometimes days to respond to some messages. I also live in Atlanta, GA and I was planning my wedding in Madison, WI. Sammy was great with keeping up with the time differences for FaceTime meetings and she attend all my vendor meetings for me.

    Advocate
    - Sammi made sure I got the best deals and helped guide me in making good financial decisions for my wedding. There were times when I would be in town unexpectedly and Sammy would work hard to ensure I got to see all my vendors while I was there.

    When COVID happened and I was super stressed Sammy was there for me the whole way and supported me fully when I decided to cancel the big wedding we were planning and have an intimate micro wedding.
    She truly wants what is best for clients and it shows through every interaction you have with her. She’s the best!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much Jay for this incredibly sweet review! I had the best time getting to know you and helping you plan your wedding! I wish I was able to celebrate you and Mishac here in Madison, but I am so happy that you two will be getting married in February in Atlanta! I wish you and Mishac nothing but the best! Thank you again for these kind words!

    No brainer!

    Sammi is a great wedding planner! She is knowledgeable, professional and great to work with. We are sad we’re weren’t able to have our wedding due to covid-19, but if we were to do it all over again, we’d choose Sammi. Definitely recommend her!

    Thank you so much for your outstanding review! I had so much fun working with you and Earl! I am beyond sad that you were not allowed to have your big wedding in May, but I am so happy that you will be able to marry Earl in June :)

    Loved working with Sammi!

    We found Sammi off of Google, and to be honest it was fate that we found her! She was so organized, and she was able to handle tough situations for me. There was one of our vendors that was being difficult, and instead of me stressing over it she took it over and made it right. To have her knowledge and coordination behind us on our wedding day was amazing! I would recommend Sammi and Wishful Weddings to anyone who would need her. Thanks Sammi!

    Thank you so much for kind review! I agree, it was fate! You and Paul are so nice and fun to work with! I am so glad that I was able to help alleviate stress!

    Great Day-of Coordinator!

    When we started planning our wedding, everyone told us we needed to have a day-of coordinator! My husband and I are so pleased that we went with Sammi and Wishful Weddings. Sammi was completely on top of everything! It gave us such peace of mind to know that she was handling all the coordination on our wedding day. The day-of coordination package really was a great value. Sammi set-up pre-wedding meetings with us and came with us to see the venue ahead of time. She also ran the rehearsal and managed all the vendor coordination in the last couple weeks. The questions she had made us think through details we might otherwise have overlooked. It was also fun and reassuring that so many of our vendors had worked with her previously and were excited to work with her again! We kept hearing from our vendors "Your coordinator is Sammi? We love working with her!" Overall our experience with Sammi and Wishful Weddings was excellent! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator!

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kindhearted review! It makes me so happy to hear that I was able to help give you and Joe peace of mind about your wedding day coordination! I am also overjoyed to hear that many of your vendors love working with me! Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding! I absolutely loved working with you and Joe!

    Great Planner!

    Hiring Sammi was easily the best decision we made for our wedding. When we started working with her about a year before our wedding, we didn't even know where to start with planning. We knew generally how we wanted the wedding to look and approximately how many people we'd have, but Sammi really helped us get organized and find vendors to make our vision happen. Most of the vendors we ended up settling on were ones she recommended, and they all turned out amazing! The couple of vendors we used that she hadn't worked with before, she seemed to communicate with seamlessly, and she left us with very little to worry about. Throughout the entire planning process she gave us her honest opinions on vendors and helped us consider details that we never would’ve thought about without her. She was also super responsive to our emails and texts about anything wedding-related! On the day of the wedding, she had all of the decorations and vendors coordinated. She prepared schedules for every vendor and a separate one for us and other people in the wedding. We had a couple little hiccups come up the day of, but none of them were a big deal because Sammi had solutions immediately. We followed all of her suggestions on the schedule of events for the day (time of dinner, speeches, etc.) and we got so many compliments on how nicely everything flowed! We would definitely recommend Sammi to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

I am so glad that I was able to alleviate stress during your wedding planning process and on your wedding day! I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to be your wedding planner! It was such an incredibly fun and beautiful wedding!

    A perfect day made possible by Sammi

    We originally had planned to coordinate our wedding ourselves and realized very quickly we were in over our heads. After meeting with a few wedding planners, Sammi was a clear stand out and made us feel like she could make our special day come together. One of the things that we appreciated most, was her willingness to work with vendors that were gay friendly. In a market that is advertised toward straight couples, we wanted to be sure that our vision of love and family was kept at the forefront of any vendor we hired. We hired her for full service. My husband and I are not good with rejecting vendors and are both pretty bad procrastinators. Sammi was able to coordinate everything with vendors for us (as well as rejecting the ones we didn't want). She also made sure that we were making progress on things by sending friendly reminders and making time for meetings at our local coffee shop. She was available to us the entire week of our wedding and coordinated our rehearsal as well. We were so happy to have her there since we had no idea what we were doing. She was thoughtful about placement of people and timing so the photographer and videographer could capture everything of our wedding day. The biggest relief was having her there for our day of ceremony. Sammi created a minute by minute schedule for all of the vendors, as well as, the wedding party. Sammi and her assistant Felicia helped set up our entire venue while we were out getting ready and taking photos. She made everything run smoothly and kept the vendors on schedule so that my husband and I could enjoy our special day. It was honestly better than we could have ever imagined and Sammi is a huge reason for that. She is very kind and fun to work with. We would highly recommend getting Sammi if you ever have the opportunity. Thank you Sammi!

    Thank you so much for your amazing review! You and Nik were the first full service clients that I booked and you both showed me how to be a great wedding planner! I always looked forward to our coffee shop meetings because you made wedding planning so much fun! Thank you again for the beautiful review! I am so grateful that I was able to be your wedding planner!

    Highly Recommend!

    We are so happy we had Sammi on board to handle the million little details and logistics those last few weeks before our wedding and the day-of. She worked with all of our vendors and put together the full day-of timeline, and even made timelines specifically for the bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. - I so appreciate that level of organization! It rained on our wedding day and we had to make some last minute changes, and Sammi took care of everything that day behind the scenes - I am so grateful that I didn't have to worry about anything and I could truly enjoy the day. Thank you, Sammi!

    Thank you very much for your glowing review! I am so glad that I was able to help you and Austin with a lot of your wedding details, timeline, and logistics! I had a lot of fun assisting you plan your wedding!

    Day of Coordination

    We hired Sammi for Day of Coordination and it was awesome. I really enjoy planning and having control so I knew that I did not want full wedding planning services, but when I initially looked for Day of Services I realized they were way overpriced. Sammi was affordable and provided so much support for the month leading up to the wedding. Sammi took care of the timeline and coordinating our vendors. Felicia worked with us for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and it made everything so much easier. Felicia was very hardworking and fit right in amongst my family and friends. She went with my vision and pretty much set up the decor in the tent singlehandedly. I would definitely recommend Wishful Weddings for Day of Coordination.

    Thank you so much for this very kind and thoughtful review! Felicia and I loved working with you! We are so glad that we were able to help and support you through your wedding day!

    So glad we worked with Wishful Weddings!

    Working with Sammi was great! I knew going into the wedding planning process that all the phone calls, emails, and potential rejections involved in working with vendors would be anxiety-inducing for me, so that was what led me to hiring a wedding planner. I am so glad that we went with Sammi for full service wedding planning - she really knows her stuff. I loved meeting with her and hearing the pros and cons of each vendor and how she saw what they could provide as fitting in with my vision and personality. She would also be real with me about what was worth spending money on and what wasn't. She always pointed me in the right direction and in the process, helped us be under budget. So many vendors told me how much they loved Sammi also. Getting coffee and planning with her was always reassuring and productive.

    Wishful Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for these kind words! I am so glad that I could help you find the right vendors for you and help you stay under budget! I absolutely loved getting coffee with you as well :)
