Abigail was the most fantastic coordinator for our wedding! Everything felt so smooth and organized, and we had a super-relaxed and enjoyable wedding day. Leading up to the wedding day, she went the extra mile to correct issues with vendors, show up at all our venue meetings, and she was always available for questions or issues. This day 1000% would not have gone as well without Abigail, she is absolutely our MVP and we cannot thank her enough for how well she did. My husband wasn't sure at first if a wedding coordinator was strictly necessary, and the day of the wedding, he said he did not know what we would have done without one. ❤ We recommend Abigail 11/10, could not have had our dream wedding without her. 🥰 -

Amazing Wedding Planner!!!
We had an amazing experience thanks to our wedding planner, Luis Reveles. His communication skills ensured that all our needs were met, making the planning process easier for both the bride and our entire family. As the maid of honor and sister of the bride, I appreciated how he treated me with just as much care and attention. Luis created a fun and friendly relationship while maintaining his professionalism, which is exactly what every couple should have in a wedding planner. Whenever issues arose with the venue, he was right there to help us resolve them. He also captured wonderful behind-the-scenes videos and photos for us to cherish. His kindness, energy, and dedication truly made my sister’s wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Luis!

I met the staff of Sarah Kathleen events during a tasting at Hotel Baker. At this time, I had found all my vendors and felt confident that everything was set, and I didn’t need anything else. My now husband realized I was becoming overwhelmed just by a tasting and suggested that I go back to Kris to continue conversations. The moment that Kris said to me of course you can handle your own wedding, but do you want to work your own wedding? This was the moment that I knew I needed to hire this event company for day of coordination. Things only got better from there. She helped me to meet deadlines. Provided emotional support for issues that brides unfortunately go through. She heard my earing drop right before I walked down the aisle and then gave me her own earing backing so that my something barrowed wasn’t ruined and saved me from an exploding bruschetta w/balsamic with tide wipes! Between Kris and my MOH I had all the support a bride could need the day of and best of all we had fun! I can’t wait to have another reason to hire Sarah Kathleen Events. -

We couldn’t be more grateful for our amazing wedding planner, Abigail! From start to finish, she made the entire planning process a breeze. Every little detail was handled with such care, and our wedding day was truly flawless because of her dedication. Abigail’s expertise in the industry shone through as she provided excellent recommendations and guided us through every step. Our families felt so well cared for, and the entire day had such a calm and joyful atmosphere, like one big, beautiful celebration. If you’re looking for a planner who listens and turns your vision into reality, we highly recommend Sarah Kathleen Events. Our day was perfect, all thanks to Abigail’s incredible work! -

Luis was phenomenal! We could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary to make all of our dreams come true. He always responded to all of our questions in a timely matter and was extremely organized. I loved using the Sarah Kathleen Events organization tools and the rendition of our reception room was spot on! Luis brought such positive energy during the whole wedding planning process and always made us feel important. He had great attention to detail and made sure we never missed anything. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I did not worry about a single thing and got to completely enjoy our special day as we knew Luis had our backs. From holding the rings to setting up every place card in our reception, Luis did it all! The team was so outgoing and friendly, our bridal party loved working with them too! Everything was set up so beautifully. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a wedding planner! -

Luis went above and beyond to help plan and make our wedding run as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend him as your wedding planner! He helped coordinate our vendors on the special day and was willing to attend multiple meetings with individual vendors to help coordinate the entire timeline and responsibilities. Choose Luis to help make your wedding stress free! -

The best part of my wedding day (besides marrying the love of my life) was working with Abigail from Sarah Kathleen Events.
Planning a wedding is a lot of work. It involves coordinating with so many vendors we've never had to hire. As a couple totally new to the wedding industry, but we were able to rely on Abigail to guide us through every step of the journey.
Although so much work happened during the planning phase, having Abigail on our big day was the reason everything went so perfectly. The night before, she lead us through our rehearsal. The morning of, she was there to help our entire bridal party. As we had our photos taken, Abigail was making sure all our vendors were aligned and had the details they needed.
But the most memorable part of having Abigail there was the atmosphere she created. Our wedding day went by fast, but Abigail ensured we were relaxed enough to truly take it all in. She kept us calm and allowed us to appreciate each moment.
If you want the very best wedding planner, then choose Sarah Kathleen Events! And thank you for our perfect day, Abigail!! -

I met Hannalori on an event this past weekend and...the quality of both her work and everyone's experience was exceptionally stunning.
I've been DJing events for several decades now, and she may be the best I have worked with. Nothing was too much, and she made it all seem effortless (in spite of the complexity of the event). Thorough, communicative, detail oriented, flexible, and a joy to work with. Do not hesitate to ask for her! -

We were referred to S.K.E by my husbands brother and sister in law who had used her services in August of 2023 and were very happy with the services they received from Luis Reveles. We had most of our wedding planned/vendors selected but decided we needed the help secuirng our final vendors in addition to day of coordination. We reached out to SKE a few months before our wedding and purchased the sweet pea package. Ironically, we were matched with the same planner, Luis Reveles!
We knew from our previous experience with Luis Reveles that we had nothing to worry about. Luis went above and beyond what we could have asked for. He was always available via text, and provided as many recommendations and suggestions as we needed. About a month before the big day I ran into a serious issue with my makeup trial and Luis jumped in to help negotiate a full refund/contract cancelation with the vendor I had booked. He quickly rebooked me with another vendor from his contact list, and assured me I would be happy with the results. In doing this, he not only saved what could have made my day an absolute disaster, he saved us over a thousand dollars. Not to mention he was right, my makeup and my bridesmaid's makeup were stunning come the day of. Outside of the makeup trial disaster, Luis helped us secure our remaining vendors and worked on getting quotes/price matching from our venue saving us even more money!
Luis Reveles handled everything prior to the wedding, coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, and ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and when. The only thing I needed to do was confirm and agree with his proposed timeline. When he sent us the 3-D renderings of our reception, my husband and I squealed with excitement!
During our first meeting with Luis, I expressed the reason I wanted a day of coordinator was so on the day of I could be fully present in wedding day bliss - head in the clouds - only needing to be told where to go and what to do. I also wanted my MOH/family members to share the experience with us and not have to worry about anything! Luis delivered on my wish. Me and my family were able to be fully present without concern about anything come the day of.
Come the day of, Luis Reveles had everything ready. I felt like a princess being catered to, and when I asked for something to be changed at the venue, Luis jumped on it. Whatever I needed, Luis made sure I had it. If anything went wrong that day, I will literally never know because Luis took care of it. Not to mention, Luis was snapping the most amazing content all throughout our rehearsal and wedding day. He caught some amazing moments. I could go on and on about Luis, but this review is already long enough LOL.
If you are a bride considering S.K.E - I highly recommend utilzing their services, they are affordable and deliver luxury services. Request Luis Reveles if he is available! He will be your best friend and will go to bat to ensure you have the most incredible wedding day that you deserve. He truly cares about making his brides feel like the queens they are!

Mary F. Sent on 12/11/2023Excellent experience. Lois Reveles and his assistant Catherine were more than we expected
I am the Mother of the Bride. We were so grateful to find this agency that was suggested by The Drake., for our venue. We were extemely blessed to have Lois Reveles take such good care of the whole day. From dress situations and first look changes.
The room was beautiful but Lois and his assistant Catherine took it to a new level and created a magical experience putting candles and greenery everywhere. I truly don’t know what we would have done without them. Not only were they efficient they were a pleasure to work with. At any moment if he thought I had a problem he rushed over to take care of it. I highly recommend this company and if you have the chance to get Lois you hit the jackpot!! -

Working with Abigail Anderson of Sarah Kathleen Events was truly like working with one of our best friends to plan our wedding. My wife and I booked the mid-tier package that included partial planning and day of coordination (Sweet Pea Package), but we felt like we got so much more!
Abigail helped us navigate finding the best vendors for our big day including finding us a hair and make up team (Bridal Brigade) that could tackle two brides with full wedding parties, a photographer we plan to use for the rest of our lives, and a dj that not only hyped our friends up on the dance floor, but hyped us up in the weeks and days leading up to our event.
The mid-tier package also came with Sarah's CAD renderings of our venue which allowed us to easily coordinate the details of our reception between our venue, planner, florist, and dj. The 3D drawings definitely helped us catch details we missed and imagine our space with all our loved ones.
Finally, not only were Abigail's pre-planning services spectacular, but day-of she was very much a life saver. When I cut my finger, Abigail had band aids and tide to go, when my bride forgot to eat all day Abigail had snacks, and when our daughters (7 & 9) were too busy busting moves on the dance floor Abigail brought them water and basically doubled as childcare. Abigail and her team navigated us through rain on our wedding day, all of our printing and signage needs (at a great cost!), and delicately managed the different personalities of our family and friends and even me when I admittedly became a bit of a Bridezilla.
There is so much more I could say, but if you're on the fence about booking a coordinator or SKE specifically I can personally guarantee that you'll be very thankful you did.

We worked with Luis Reveles for our wedding at the Brix on the Fox. We booked him a little over a year before our wedding date, and Luis was attentive throughout the entire time. He was extremely responsive, helpful, and on top of everything. His timeline for the day of our wedding was very well thought out and executed. He made our wedding week stress free and we could not have done our wedding day without him. I highly recommend! -

Amazing!!!
My son’s ceremony was a memorable moment for not just me but the rest of the family as well. In order for it to go as smoothly and swimmingly as it did, all praise and gratitude go to the wedding planner Luis Reveles! With his contribution and distinct eye for detail, the venue thankfully while already beautiful, was given a breath of life that without would of definitely have been missed! Luis’s determination and keen sense of task mastering, allowed for the Bride and Groom’s vision to come to life like no other; it was apart he didn’t take this daunting challenge lightly and we are all grateful for his assistance and service. Once underway, seeing the venue in full swing really showcased Luis’s handywork all allowed the rest of us to take in its splendor. -

My sisters wedding was a dream all thanks to wedding planner, Luis Reveles. He was just amazing! He was organized, sweet and thoughtful.

My family felt so happy to have him there and he speaks Spanish too so I loves how he was communicating with are whole family and making them feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend Luis for any upcoming special events. Thank you Luis for all your help! You’re the best!
