I am posting this review in response to the previous review by Ted L. I assisted Susan on this wedding, but to be clear, I am an independent contractor and not an employee of Save the Date Events. I was so taken aback by Ted's nasty comments, that felt it necessary to share my third party opinion of the evening. While driving up to the event, Susan mentioned the way she'd been treated by the couple. She expressed that their communications had been exceptionally terse and critical, but we gave them the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up to pre-wedding nerves. The day of the event I noticed they would get quickly and blatantly frustrated at Susan for things outside her control (the warm temperature in the venue for example, in spite of AC on full blast). As for the fact that she asked questions and "identified problems", it was because Ted and his wife had been so unkind and made her so nervous that she and I both felt it to be a "better safe than sorry" situation and prudent to check in with them as to their preferences. Their wedding was a blast, and a number of their guests even approached us asking if she still had availability for the coming year. It was a logistically challenging event due to the fact that the only way to and from the venue is via gondola (which never stops moving). Susan busted her butt hauling all the decor, etc up and down the gondola - and then the couple even insisted that she transport the CAKE down the gondola at the end of the night! It breaks my heart that there are people out there who are so ready to tear down another human being who put their heart and soul into helping them. We both jumped at their every command the full eleven hours we worked the day of the event. It was nearly 1:00 am when we delivered the rest of their decor, etc the their hotel room. I have worked many weddings and also hired a planner for my own wedding a year ago. Based on those experiences, I can say that Susan did a fantastic job with this event.

Working with Susan at Save the Date Events to plan our wedding was the best choice we made. We planned our wedding in Estes Park while living in Lexington, KY and the only reason our wedding went as successfully as it did was because of Susan. She helped us with everything, from finding venues and other vendors that fit our style and budget all the way to all the help during the actual day of the wedding. She's super organized, has a lot of experience under her belt helping plan weddings, helped reduce the stress of planning a wedding (which is so important), and is just an all around awesome person.

Susan was great to work with! I hired her to be the "day of" coordinator for my wedding in Vail, CO but she got involved about 6 weeks prior to the wedding date and started taking care of the little things that I didn't realize I needed to do. She had me fill out a planning form which really helped me think through all the small details of the day, many of which had not crossed my mind! She was very knowledgeable and so helpful during the process. She took care of everything for me on the wedding day so that I didn't have to worry at all. We were almost rained out but she didn't let on that anything was wrong, which helped me to stay calm, and everything worked out perfectly in the end. I would highly recommend Susan for wedding planning - she was so great and helped this bride have a worry-free wedding day!
