Sarah is Incredible

I truly do not have the words to express how amazing Sarah was throughout our entire wedding planning process. Sarah's attention to detail, creativity, and execution is actually remarkable. She gave us honest recommendations, worked tirelessly behind the scenes with all of our vendors shielding us from the chaos of creating our custom designs, and ultimately made our wedding weekend everything we could have dreamed of. I genuinely enjoyed the planning process and I owe that entirely to Sarah!! She went above and beyond for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at the Tennis Hall of Fame so special. I truly do not have enough positive things to say about how delightful it is to work with Sarah her ability to truly bring your wildest dreams to life!

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!
