Beautiful wedding would not have been possible without Michelle

Michelle planned and executed our 25 person wedding in Mar 2023. We planned it in 4 months (fast!), and it would not have been possible without Michelle. Michelle excels in aesthetic design, digging into preferences with clients, and tailoring a wedding to the client's vision. All of our guests told us over and over again how beautiful our wedding was. Based on our input she worked with vendors to design our flowers, our signage, our table setting, etc.. it was stunning. She also is pragmatic when it comes to budgeting and logistics, and is excellent at sourcing and managing vendors, locations, etc. We are extremely grateful for Michelle's help, and it would not have been possible without her. We highly recommend.

A wonderful experience!

Michelle from Sampaguita Lane was super great to work with! The day was seamless. The couple was overjoyed. She went out of her way to be helpful to myself and all other vendors. It is clear that Michelle puts 110% of herself into her work and her craft. And everything was beautiful!
Someday when I get married I'll hire Michelle to be MY planner!

Incredible planner!

Michelle is AMAZING! Our wedding couldn’t have gone any better. She has been with us through it all, from planning during a pandemic to handling all the vendors when we need to postpone our original date. Her organizational and contract negotiations skills are exceptional. She had a personalized timeline drafted months before our wedding as well as a thorough budget list to keep us on track during the process. For each vendor, she always presented to us a variety of options for the styles we like and highlighted the pros and cons for our top choices with our budget limits in mind. She would try to get us the best package deal and negotiate for our best interest. I love this about her.
When we talked to our vendor, they couldn’t stop raving about how detailed oriented and helpful Michelle is in navigating all the coordination for the wedding day. We had our wedding in the hottest month of the summer but it wasn’t a problem for her. Michelle showed up with her team bright and early, ready to go. They executed the day seamlessly from prepping for our ceremony to flipping the space for reception in 100F weather within an hour. We didn’t have to worry about anything, and truly enjoyed every moment with our friends and families. Both of our families are still talking about how they love our wedding. It was dreamy and personal like how we envisioned it. She turned our Pinterest board to life, and added our personal touch to it. I love how she incorporated little design details from both of our cultures into a western style wedding. Overall, 100% would recommend Michelle to our friends and families.
