Absolutely AMAZING!!!

I don't think there are enough adjectives in a thesaurus to describe how much we loved working with Sarah!! Responsive, always available, organized, super creative, friendly, well-connected, never said no, always pleasant, soooo easy to work with are just a few that come to mind. She does it all, from the moment you hire her until the wedding weekend concludes (and even beyond that!!) From storing many, many wedding and after party items, to helping out with every last minute detail. We came from out of town for my daughter's wedding in Newport and when we arrived every single thing was taken care of and perfect. Sarah is extremely professional and I think she has a relationship with every single wedding vendor in the area. I can't recommend her enough--Sarah went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding absolutely perfect!!!

Exceptional!

What a pleasure it has been to work with Sarah; she made me feel comfortable immediately! A master at her craft; we simply could not have organized such an epic wedding weekend without her! Sarah is extremely organized, reliable, easily available, responsive, thoughtful and kind! Sarah provides a stress free, collaborative experience. She was absolutely instrumental in the seamless planning, unparalleled attention to detail at all the beautifully orchestrated events. She covered all the bases implementing back up plans for every scenario while maintaining her calm equanimity! It would be an honor to work with her again!

Hurricane forecast worked out great!

Sarah is an amazing wedding planner, she knows how to manage the vendors, the wedding party, the venue and day of event activities. Sarah is professional and responsible. I love Sarah's creativity and her excellent vision. I loved all the vendors that Sarah had recommended. We had a beautiful, fun and personal wedding in Newport! The day of the wedding, there was a hurricane forecasted and Sarah coordinated the entire backup plan and she kept everyone calm and organized. Thank you!!
