made our wedding perfect & 100% stress free

I don’t even know where to begin. There isn’t a single thing I would have changed about my wedding day & it’s all thanks to Val. She was absolutely phenomenal! We hired her as our day-of planner, so she picked everything up about a month out & smoothed out every last detail for our big day. I’m a HUGE planner & my husband was skeptical regarding our need for a planner, but Val found things I never even would have imagined needing & she gave me invaluable vendor advice months before she even took over for me. She is hands down the best & most passionate at what she does & I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt that our wedding would have been a stressful disaster without her.

My biggest praise of Val was she did absolutely everything in her power to make our special day about US & her absolute number one priority was making sure our day went exactly how WE envisioned it. She was okay with being the “bad guy” (very politely!) when I didn’t want to be with other vendors & family members that just didn’t want to cooperate. She spent the entire day ensuring that everything flowed seamlessly & that we were blissfully happy.

Everyone always told us that our wedding was going to be this huge blur & before we knew it, it was going to be over & that was my biggest worry. But that wasn’t the case. If we wanted to take a few minutes extra minutes to just sit alone to talk or laugh or cry or eat together, she made it happen & that meant the world to us. On our wedding day, we were 100% stress free & it allowed us to really soak everything in & enjoy it. No amount of money can buy that kind of experience.

Let me start off by saying I was stupid and did not hire Sarah Day/SAS Weddings from the start. After a not-so-good experience with another wedding planner I had to make the decision to part ways and that is when a co-worker and friend referred me to Sarah Day. Once my now hubby and I met with Sarah, she became our Queen-in-shining-glittery heels! She had to come into a somewhat planned wedding and pick up the pieces which was no easy task. Sarah did so much behind the scenes amazing work that I can't even begin to tell you how much and what she tackled. She is a professional, hard-working, dedicated, beautiful-souled woman that I know I could not have had the wedding I wanted without her. She has the best taste that I could (and did) leave most of my decor for her to decide. Seriously, her taste is impeccable. Sarah was beyond organized and really takes the time to meet with and understand her clients' needs. (Believe me when I say you don't get that type of service with all wedding planners). You can and should breathe a sigh of relief with Sarah. Even if you think it is quiet and nothing is happening, Sarah is working her magic behind the scenes. Don't stress out and know she has your back. She referred me to some of the best professionals in the business and was super patient with everyone involved. I can't say enough about how wonderful, talented, and amazing Sarah Day is. There really are no words to express how happy I am to have trusted Sarah with our wedding. Her assistants Ginny & Stacy were also AMAZING. They felt like friends I've had all my life. They do all the stressing (while smiling) so you can enjoy your day. Do yourself a huge favor and book SAS Weddings; it will be the BEST decision you make. Just make sure your bridal party and guests treat her well. She is special and doesn't deserve to deal with rude and stupid. (I know since I owe her the biggest apology for the prankster groomsmen in my wedding - not cool). We are forever in her debt.

SAS Weddings was fabulous! We met and planned ahead of time and any questions we had were addressed and discussed to all of our satisfaction. When we discussed budget they adapted to what was important to us and had suggestions that were practical and realistic. The vendors they recommended were excellent! On the day of the event we didn't have to worry about any issue, they handled it all, we just got to enjoy the day! It even rained as we came out to the church ceremony, Val collected the rainwater and it's now available for a baptism, how special is that! Their response to phone calls or emails was always prompt, the planning meetings were well organized and on the wedding day they handled everything so we could just enjoy the event, what more could you ask! We were all so pleased with all that was done, we can't thank them enough for making it the "perfect day".

I highly recommend SAS Weddings to help with your wedding planning. VAL was our coordinator and she was FANTASTIC! Everyone that came into contact with her loved her! I honestly can't say enough. The wedding day was more MEMORABLE and ENJOYABLE than we could have ever hoped for....and we could not have done it without her! She took charge, made great suggestions, was available when we needed her and kept us on track. Also hats off to Ruthie who was there to help on the day of the wedding, and also did a wonderful job insuring everything went according to plan! They were a GREAT team, and one you can't live without if you're planning a wedding!

Aside from a little hiccup with our transportation service and logistics, Val and Ruthie were fantastic!! Our goal was to not have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day and that was a success!! That day/night was truly an incredible event neither one of us will ever forget; thanks to the efforts from both Val and Ruthie. I wish we can relive that moment over and over again.

Thanks again for everything!!

We had the pleasure of working with Val for our month of coordination for our wedding. We had chosen the vendors we needed and signed their contracts, and then met with Val about 3 months out from the wedding. She was AMAZING. She organized all of our contracts, set up vendor meetings, firmed up details, and made the most detailed timeline for our wedding. Our wedding day was so perfect and I have to believe it is partially due to Val's work! There was some issue with our transportation service and I was not even bothered with it. Val handled it all and made sure we had the best time.

I cannot stress enough how valuable a wedding planner is! It is 100% worth the additional cost (even if you think otherwise before, you will be SO glad that you did). As a super organized, detail oriented person myself, I could not have achieved the wedding of my dreams without the help of my wedding planner, Valerie Kaplan, because there are so many little details (and big ones) that go into making the day a success. Valerie was super easy to talk to and share ideas with. Never once did I feel pressured to do something a certain way. She kept me organized and managed all of my vendors (something that is not fun to do the week of your wedding when you should be relaxing). Day of the wedding, we were running behind due to hair and makeup and she made sure that we were still able to get everything accomplished without feeling rushed. They truly run the show and make sure everything is going as planned (from bustling my dress, helping the groomsmen with bowties, setting up the favors, making sure people don’t get lit on fire during the sparkeler send off, collecting our belongings and delivering them to the hotel, and best of all- packing up reception meals for my groom and I to eat after our after party in our hotel room). My parents and guests raved about her. Totally worth having a wedding planner, especially one as wonderful as Valerie!

Without a doubt, working with Sarah was the best decision we made for our wedding- and the best money we spent.

Initially my husband and I were just looking for someone to help with month-of logistics for our downtown New Year's Eve wedding and to provide some design advice. Our venue referred us to Sarah, and we immediately clicked. Sarah completely understood our vision- something that held true throughout the entire process. I felt so comfortable turning to Sarah for her opinion in decision making, and trusted her to make last-minute decisions for us. As a self-confessed control freak, I can't tell you how amazing that was.

Sarah introduced us to several other vendors, all of whom provided excellent, seamless service. She took over vendor communications for us in the weeks before the wedding, which meant we could focus on our vows, learning our first dance, and all of our pre-wedding jitters :) She also offered several services a la carte- we had her send our invitations and manage RSVPs, as well as create her signature glittered champagne bottles as our wedding favors.

As for our wedding day, Sarah and her team went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and that my husband and I were able to focus on each other and our guests. Sarah and Val were there through our first look and wedding party portraits to fluff trains and reapply lipstick. She coordinated the entire day and every detail flawlessly. We've had so many guests compliment and ask about Sarah- I know that cannot be true for everyone in the industry.

Sarah is a true professional. She is thorough, detail oriented, and committed to bringing your vision to life- all while making sure that you are having the best day ever. I can't say enough about her- thank you Sarah for making our day absolutely perfect!

Valerie Kaplan was our wedding planner and she was AMAZING. We absolutely could not have done it without her. She tied up all our loose ends about 60 days before and that's when you start freaking out about the million little things you still haven't taken care of plus a million extra things you forgot to take care of. She was beyond on top of all those things and kept in touch daily on what she had finished up for us. The day of she was calm and cool and made sure everything ran on time. We hate going to wedding where you wait for an hour plus for the ceremony to start or the reception to start. We told her it was very important to us that everything run on time and we ran on time to the minute. We had a large wedding party and everyone fell in love with her including the parents of bride and groom. She never said no to a request but always it's already done, no problem, I can do that, and with a smile. She is so bubbly and upbeat but still very professional. Never has a negetive word to say about a crappy vendor you might have chosen but simply says she will be in touch and take care of it. After the wedding wrapped up we came up to our room and she had our toasting flutes and cake cutting utensils clean and boxed up. Our gifts and cards were all there and she even had our cake topper in the fridge for us plus a piece of each flavor cake waiting for us in case we didn't get any during reception. We didn't have to worry about any clean up or anything being left behind. She truly loves her job and she makes you feel like she really loves you and wants the best for you on your day. I felt like she really had my best interest at heart and it's not an "I've got your money I don't care anymore" situation. If your struggling with the decision of who to choose as a wedding planner PLEASE stop here! We are sooooo picky and expect a level of service every where we go. Val exceeds that times 10! It felt like St Regis or Ritz Carlton experience. She's amazing!!!!

Valarie Kaplan from SAS is the absolute best wedding planner there is. Period. The most professional and organized person i have seen. You do not realize how important a good wedding planner is until it's crunch time. I've been to many weddings and seen wedding planners sit around or try to give direction to vendors, wedding party members and guests. They cannot control a crowd, stay on schedule and have an i don't care attitude. Valarie is the sweetest, nicest person that gets the job done in an impeccable manner. Anything you need she says without hesitation "It's already taken care of, sure, no problem, I will do that right away" and so on. Her communication and follow up skills are top notch. She just went above and beyond in every possible way and actually cares. It shows this is her passion, her craft and she is unbelievable at it. Our entire wedding party actually complimented us on Valarie. That's how good she was.
From the bottom of my new wife's heart and mine I want to thank Valarie for providing us with the best wedding planner service possible. No one could ever be any better or more likeable:)
Thank you Valarie,
Amy & Joseph Brown

This is from a groom's perspective btw... Don't hesitate. If you're trying to cut costs, I get it; but this is not the place to get cheap. Before we booked SAS I really had a hard time understanding "why" we needed a planner. My wife thought she needed one, and I was fine with that if I could understand exactly what they do. I even made her talk to me on the phone and give a sales pitch of sort. The answer to my question of "What exactly do you do?" was answered pretty intently that they do EVERYTHING. This seemed a bit over the top and I was hoping for specifics, but it was pretty clear we were going to get a planner. It wasn't until wedding day that I finally figured out the specifics of what "everything" was. From finding lost ties after the reception, fixing pocket squares that were completely wrong (something that would have taken us guys hours to figure out) minutes before pictures, organizing rehearsal, pictures, etc., to having some toothpicks on hand after dinner. They seriously do everything, and I'm sure I don't even know about most of it. I've been a part of weddings where after the reception all we want to do is go out and party, however first we had to help pick everything up, stack chairs, pack up gifts, gather decorations, flowers etc. At our wedding SAS handled all of this and then some. My wife and I, our family and friends, and our bridal parties were able to leave knowing beforehand that SAS would be there to handle all of the after party chores. It made the night truly enjoyable for everyone. Our wedding was amazing, and the little things that went on behind the scenes are what made it that way. Do yourself a favor and don't underestimate what SAS could do for your wedding as well.

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She is extremely detail-oriented and organized which immensely helped take the pressure off me during the 30 days leading up to the wedding. She also made sure that everything we wanted on our wedding-day timeline took place, and she can bustle ANY dress! Thank you for an amazing experience!!!

Sarah was wonderful to work with and made my wedding day go so smoothly! She and Val took care of every last detail from hotel welcome bags, vendor coordination and set up, wedding party timeline, transportation coordination and I'm sure a lot of other things that I didn't even know about :) they allowed my husband and I to be able to truly enjoy our wedding day and cherish every moment. Everything went perfectly and I could not have pulled it off without the SAS team! They are professional, organized and fun to work with. I would highly recommend!

Sarah and her team are top notch!! We came to Sarah having only selected a venue and she took care of all the rest! She knows everyone in the business and was able to hook us up with the best vendors. Everything went so smoothly and the end result was more than we ever expected! Sarah's passion for weddings truly shows in everything she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for perfection and professionalism.

Sarah and her team did an absolutely amazing job as our "day of" wedding coordinator! Everything from planning out the timeline perfectly to sewing up my dress flawlessly! She made the wedding day stress free and so much fun! She is professional and knows anything and everything there is to know about the wedding world, which was super helpful in the weeks/months leading up to the wedding. I would recommend her to anyone getting married. She will make your big day the best day and you will wish you could do it every weekend!!

Thank you Sarah! You're the best!!

Sarah and her team did an absolutely amazing job. From the beginning, Sarah really listened and understood our style and vision for the day. She did an amazing job hooking us up with vendors we would have never known about. She was always very quick to respond and incredibly well organized. On the day of the wedding, I could have sworn she was in 3 places at once. Hiring SAS weddings was absolutely one of the best things we could have done for our wedding.

First of all Sarah and Valerie were AMAZING!! They were thrown so many curve balls on my wedding day but they were swinging like pro's! They were both very responsive, very attentive and present for everything I needed them to attend. My sister's bridesmaid dress zipper broke minutes before the ceremony (can you imagine)??? I was so overwhelmed I had mentally checked out at this point LOL! Buuuuut Sarah saved the day! She was on her knees sewing my sister into her dress!!! She was a godsend on the most important day of my life and I will forever be indebted to her for that! I would recommend SAS Weddings a thousand times over!!
