    Great all around

    My brother and his wife hired Sandy for their wedding on May 25, 2024. Sandy was great. She always answered any of our phone calls. She was very organized and detailed with her notes.
    She even helped me! I wanted to check into my hotel room at 8am. I called the hotel and they basically told me no chance that’s not going to happen. After one call to Sandy, I was able to check into my hotel room at the venue at 8am.

    The wedding day went very smoothly and we 100% recommend Sandy as a wedding planner/coordinator. All of our vendors were happy and she took care of every single detail so that my whole family could sit back and enjoy the day stress free!

    The Perfect Planner

    I’ve followed Sandy for years on Instagram and I always knew I wanted her to be apart of my special day. As soon as I was engaged I met with Sandy and I instantly knew I was making the right decision. Sandy is organized, attentive to detail, and truly so creative. My Husband and I had attended 12 weddings the year we got married and ours was last of the bunch. Sandy really made sure our wedding wasn’t the same as everyone else. She added her touch on things that really had our guests talking. Sandy goes above and beyond for her clients. I truly am grateful I had the opportunity to actually enjoy my wedding because I knew everything was in good hands. After working with Sandy, I am instantly able to tell if she is the wedding vendor or not. Her attention to detail and organization is unmatched. We really built a friendship along the way and I am truly so grateful for Sandy. I don’t think a day went by and I wasn’t able to call Sandy to chat. She really is the best, I will always recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event.

    Best decision ever made

    I had the pleasure of working with Sandy Nissou for my daughter’s first communion party and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment we met for our first appointment, it was evident that her attention to detail and creativity would make for a memorable event. Every aspect of the party, from the decorations to the entertainment and catering, was handled flawlessly. Our guests were raving about party days afterwards, and it’s all thanks to the incredible work Sandy did. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to host a truly exceptional event.

    High School Prom

    My experience with Sandy was my first time working with an Event Planner, and I was blown away! I was Senior Class President of my High School, so it was in my hands to plan the Senior Prom with an Event Planner. It is safe to say I cannot be more thankful I made the right choice. She never overstepped her position, while making sure I was fully aware and understood the whole process in depth. She spent extra hours over the phone, and in person, working with my team and I over the course of several months. Being as inexperienced as I was, Sandy made the whole process a breeze being easygoing, efficient, and supportive. She has a constant determination to get things done the right way, never backing down. She always made sure to go above and beyond my expectations, I would highly recommend her services for any occasion.

    The best decision I made!

    The best wedding decision I made was hiring Exclusive Planning!! It took all my stress and worries off my mind having their help. Sandy was there for me every step of the way to make sure my big day went smoothly. I’m forever grateful for her and her team and recommend her to everyone I talk to!

    Top of the line experience!

    To start, Sandy is AMAZING. If you want someone to help relieve some of the stress from wedding planning Sandy is your girl! I was referred to Sandy, by so many people that it only made sense to work with her. She had a lot of recommendations, tips, and references. Her professionalism is top tier as well. It was so nice to work with someone that had really great communication. She was very helpful is communication with the venue and the vendors. I could keep going on how great she is but I recommend booking a consultation and see for yourself!
    Thank you for everything Sandy!! 🫶🏽

    THE best of the best

    Sandy brought my dream wedding to life and everything was absolutely perfect. She's phenomenal at what she does and I'm beyond glad that I chose her to take on my wedding. One of the most important things when you hire a wedding planner is that you get along and feel comfortable working with them and Sandy and I hit it off from the start. Although she remained professional, I see her as a friend rather than someone who was just in charge of my wedding. She is detailed, organized, strong, responsive and always has an answer/solution for everything. One of the things I truly appreciated was her communication and flexibility throughout the process. Whether it was 12:00 PM or 12:00 AM, if I needed Sandy, she was always just a phone call away. There is no one that could compare to Sandy and her amazing talent and if I could give her more than five stars I would. Thank you x1,000,000

    The Best Event Coordinator

    Only one word can truly describe Sandy and that would be WOW! Sandy is amazing at what she does! Our wedding was in November 2022 and we had a crazy agenda, nothing is too much for Sandy though. She walked us through every step of the process and made sure that we got everything we wanted. My husband and I had a very detailed image of what we wanted our wedding to feel and look like and Sandy made sure we got it! Without Sandy our vision and dream would of been shattered. Any and every hiccup we had Sandy went above and beyond to fix it. Sandy is truly a strong, responsible, communicative, and most importantly a beautiful soul. We have connected not just on a business level but on a personal level. We are honored to have worked with her and to have built a life time bond. We will forever be greatful, she truly is the best.

    Nissan wedding

    There are no words to describe the dream that Sandy and her team made come true! Unfortunately we had a planner who quit two months before our wedding. Sandy came in and not only save the day but presented an event that no one could’ve put on but her. She went above and beyond and always insured we receive the best deal possible.

    The day of our wedding everything was on time which is quite rare. She also made sure I guess and our families were taken care of while also ensuring our venue handled things professionally and more than adequately. I cannot recommend her enough for any event. She has become family to us and our event was what it was because of her.

    You get what you pay for stands true with Sandy

    The subject line should say it all without you having to read another word.
    However.. For everyone else...
    From the get go we were told:
    - exactly how things were going to unfold.
    - The time frames needed for each action item
    - what to expqct from her
    - what to expect from her team
    - what she expected from us.
    - she had FULL... I repeat FULL KNOWLEDGE of what to to and how to do it.
    -she knew who the good vendors were and who to avoid like the plague.
    - she orchestrated things that she didn't have to.. Like the violinist that I hired jumped ship 48 hrs before thr event.. She called one of her peeps and came through.

    Listen.. If i were to do it all over again.. I would put everything into her hands and not have to think about a thing.

    So stop scrolling through who you should hire. It's the best you want... It's the best you get.

    Amazing work!

    Sandy was very detail oriented and helped us every step of the way. Once we booked our vendors, they communicated with her directly, saving us time & energy. After the wedding, our guests raved about Sandy & her team for their professionalism and quality of work. Very thankful we chose to go with Sandy, her help was worth every penny! - Rosan & Samantha

    Amazing experience!!

    Sandy was very helpful throughout the whole process of wedding planning. She did not only help with vendors and set up but also made great recommendations like the DJ, Cake, etc. We were truly happy with how everything turned out and cannot recommend Sandy enough. She will take care of all your wedding needs and answer all your questions. We were lucky to have her be apart of our special day.

    Seamless Wedding Day

    Sandy made our wedding day perfect! Planning was a breeze once she was involved. She listened to what we wanted and executed it seamlessly. She had SO many connections to vendors that we needed/wanted & communicated with them for us! Her response rate was so quick in whatever we needed. Her confidence and knowledge made us feel so at ease the day of the wedding that we knew it would be perfect!

    Sandy is the BEST

    Look no further than Exclusive Planning and Managment. We hired Sandy for Day-Of Planning after our first consultation; it was a no brainer that she would provide exceptional work. She exceeded our expectations, from the organized to-do list, to handling vendors, to guiding us outside the scope of the job. Highly recommend!
    Sandy, thank you for such detailed, organized, and punctual work!

    The most amazing wedding planner!

    We hired Sandy to be our wedding planner when we first started the wedding planning process 1.5 years before our scheduled date. She was phenomenal in every sense of the word. She worked with us and helped keep every wedding task organized, especially during our busy work schedules. She was readily available when we needed any assistance and communication with her throughout the process was effortless and so easy. During the wedding reception, she was making sure everything occurred seamlessly and kept everyone and everything on schedule. We couldn’t have trusted a more kind, helpful and amazing individual to organize our special day than Sandy. Be sure to hire her for your upcoming wedding, you won’t be disappointed and we cannot recommend and thank her enough!

    Outstanding, stress free and effortless

    Sandy, first I want to start off by saying THANK YOU. You not only made our wedding day a day we will never forget but you also made the whole experience so effortless and fun! As you know, I was the type of bride that had absolutely no idea where to start or what I wanted. But, with that being said, you held my hand through the whole entire process and we’re always only a phone call away. From our first meeting to the day of you always made me feel so calm and stress free. You have this energy and passion about you that is truly contagious. Planning a wedding is stressful in general but having you as our wedding planner is the reason our wedding day was such a dream. When we walked into the ballroom we were truly speechless. It was absolutely stunning and it was because of you and your teams hard work and dedication to making sure every little detail was perfect. I honestly don’t know how anyone plans a wedding without having a Sandy by their side. Everything went so smoothly and we had no challenges. If there were any you had resolved it so quickly we had no idea! You are extremely hard working, professional and organized. Your attention to every little detail is insane and you’re so creative. You made our day perfect and we could never thank you enough! You are one of our favorite parts of our wedding and would do our wedding all over again just to work with you. Thank you for not only being our wedding planner but also becoming our friend. Thank god for you Sandy! You’re a brides dream.

    Sandy is a Lifesaver!

    I don’t even know where to begin. Sandy went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went as smoothly as possible. She did more than what was agreed upon because that’s how much she cares about her work. No matter what time or day, Sandy was available to answer any question or concern. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and knows how to handle any vendor no matter how difficult they can be. I can’t even imagine what planning would’ve been like without her, the wedding probably wouldn’t have happened lol jk. Thank you Sandy for all you do. We love you and only wish the best for you!

I could not recommend her enough to anyone hosting a special event, you will NOT be disappointed!

    SANDY NISSOU > All wedding planners

    Thank god for Sandy. Working with all the vendors that are involved in a wedding is a nightmare. We were constantly getting phone calls asking about deposits, money, scheduling and the lost can go on.

    Once we handed Sandy the keys to planning our wedding, all that stress went away. She coordinated with all the vendors, made sure everyone got paid, and help make our wedding incredible.

    Sandy is the only person you need for all your events!

    Amazing and worth every penny

    Sandy was the most unbelievable wedding planner. We could not have asked for anyone better. She is extremely organized and very precise with everything. You can trust her to get everything done on time and the work is incredible. We had multiple issues with our wedding that Sandy was able to help us handle. Just as an example, our DJ quit 1 week before the wedding. Sandy was able to find us a new DJ and book them within 24 hours. It was incredible. She takes a lot of the stress of the planning process off of you. She also really cares about her clients and wants to make sure their one and only wedding day is the most incredible day of their life. At our wedding, I had friends and family congratulate us constantly throughout the night over how beautiful and fun our wedding was. A lot of that was due to Sandy and we are so grateful to have had her. If you choose to hire her, you will get someone who is extremely invested in her clients and will always be available to you.

    The BEST Decision!

    My husband and I do not even know where to begin to express our appreciation and gratitude toward Sandy! All I can say is WOW!! If you are searching for a wedding / event planner there truly is no one like Sandy. From our first meeting until the very last second of my wedding, Sandy was available any time of day if I ever needed something. She was so responsive, detail oriented and ORGANIZED! There is so much that goes into planning a wedding and you just want every part of it to be perfect, she really makes sure that happens without any hiccups. All of my close friends and family members that have gotten married have also used Sandy and we all RAVE about how amazing she is! I will never forget how organized and well-planned the entire day was from beginning to end; and the best part about it, was I was worry-free the entire time! Sandy took control and relieved every ounce of stress from my shoulders and took control of everything. I cannot stress enough how important it is to hire someone who knows the industry inside and out, and that is Sandy! I also got my dance floor, draping, lighting and sparklers through her and it was seriously the BEST decision ever!! She works with top notch vendors and handles all communication with them so you don’t have to! She really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and how we wanted our day to fan out. From that point on, she took it upon herself to contact all vendors to ensure everything was absolutely perfect, and it was! People still reminisce on my wedding day and I make sure to tell them, that none of it would've been possible if it weren't for Sandy. Anytime I know someone is getting married or planning an event I make sure to tell them to hire her. It seriously was the BEST decision my husband and I made. I've been to countless weddings and it's clearly evident when the coordinator and his/her team is professional and has the right experience; and I can tell you not only from my own wedding, but as a witness to Sandy's other work in comparison to others, that she is the best of the best! She is respectful yet firm, making sure the job gets done and everything remains on schedule; which is so important. I would plan my wedding again in a heartbeat if I had Sandy by my side.

    Sandy is the BEST!

    The second we got engaged, we knew we needed Sandy! We can’t thank her enough for everything she did. There was not a day that went by where we felt stressed or overwhelmed because Sandy was there to help! The best decision we made for our wedding was to hire Sandy. She is not just a coordinator, she is WAY MORE than that! She made our special day stress free and so smooth. From her service to rentals, tuxedos, and invitations, everything was absolutely perfection! Again, thank you so much for everything!!
