Timothy P. Sent on 06/24/2024Sean Dempsey 5/5 Wedding Coordinator
Wow it is hard to explain just how great of a job Sean did for our wedding. He is incredibly responsive and helpful when it comes to both suggesting and coordinating vendors. Sean is amicable and always ready to help with any problems. Having Sean as our wedding coordinator made the whole process of planning a wedding run incredibly smoothly and reduced the stress on us during wedding planning considerably.
Sean is a veteran planner and, although he could easily charge way more for his services, his rates are extremely reasonable. It was clear to us that he does his work with a lot of passion, exactly what you want in the person helping you plan your wedding day!
Our wedding may be the first I can think of where everything ran perfectly and nothing 'went wrong.' This can be mostly attributed to Sean's great work. I cannot recommend him more highly! -

Sean Dempsey is a consummate professional. He went above and beyond his normal duties as wedding planner to ensure my wife and I had the absolute best experience possible. He succeeded with flying colors! One of the things that makes Sean so great, is how rapidly he responded to all of our wedding related questions. Sean has a solution for every potential issue that can arise. For instance, when we forgot an important piece of wedding property at our rehearsal dinner, Sean went the extra mile and personally traveled to the restaurant (about 20 minutes from the wedding venue) to retrieve the item for us! Sean's vast experience coupled with his affable personality assuaged our concerns and simplified the entire process for us. My wife and I really enjoyed the process of wedding planning due to Sean's efforts. He zealously advocates on behalf of his clients and truly cares about everyone he helps. Our lives have been very much positively impacted from our experiences with Sean. As attorneys ourselves, we understand the importance of providing excellent customer service. Sean demonstrated exemplary customer service. In fact, he inspired us to improve our own customer service skills. Sean has a special place in our hearts. He is one of the most kind, talented, and down-to-earth professionals with whom we have had the pleasure to work. Our lives have truly been enriched by our interactions with Sean and the time we have spent with him. He was instrumental in making our Napa Valley wedding an absolute success. We highly recommend Sean to anyone! -

From the moment we began this journey, it was clear that he was dedicated to making our special day perfect in every way. His commitment, attention to detail, and genuine passion for his work were evident throughout the entire planning process.
From the outset, Sean made us feel at ease with hus warm and friendly demeanor. We were touched by the effort he put into understanding our vision for the wedding. His willingness to go above and beyond by meeting us at the event rental store and accompanying us to the dinner tasting truly showcased his dedication to ensuring every aspect was flawless.
The event rental store visit was such a valuable experience, and his expert guidance in choosing the right decor elements was invaluable. His eye for design and creativity made the decision-making process enjoyable and stress-free.
The dinner tasting was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our wedding planning journey. Sean arranged everything seamlessly. His involvement in this process demonstrated his commitment to crafting a memorable culinary experience for our guests.
Throughout the entire planning process, Sean was incredibly responsive to our questions and concerns about the venue. His prompt and informative replies put our minds at ease, knowing that we were in capable hands.
As the big day approached, he flawlessly orchestrated every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. His presence on the day of the wedding provided us with peace of mind, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joyous celebration.

Sean Dempsey is a 5 Star Wedding Planner!! When my daughter and fiancé chose V Sattui Vineyard for their destination wedding venue the first thing we said was get a wedding planner. Being that we are from Tampa Florida and not knowing anyone in the Napa Valley area we felt confident in our choice of selecting Sean Dempsey to help guide and plan my daughters wedding. Sean is a perfectionist just like my daughter so we knew we hit a home run with him!!! Sean was extremely resourceful and knew all the vendors in the area. Any questions he had the answers!!! Sean took the time 2 months before our weddings to meet with my daughter and myself to go around and meet the vendors and make-sure we made the correct decisions. As the mom of the bride I was super impressed!!! After meeting Sean in person I knew we selected the best wedding planner and my daughter’s wedding day would be a success as it was!!! Sean kept the rehearsal and wedding day spot on!!! It was so nice knowing my husband and myself had no worries and Sean would keep everything on a perfect schedule!!! Look no further when you need a wedding planner!! Sean Dempsey is is the perfect choice, professional, organized and resourceful!! Thank you Sean!!! -

A true professional – Sean did a first rate job as our wedding planner. My wife and I live on the East Coast, and Sean made it seamless to plan details for all parts of our West Coast wedding out in Napa Valley. We had several zoom calls with him throughout the process, and Sean was very responsive, replying back to all questions and comments within hours after every text, email, or call. He would provide recommendations for any vendor or service we wanted to include in the wedding – if we didn’t want to move forward with the vendor due to price points, Sean never pushed; if we wanted to move forward with the vendor, Sean pulled the strings and made it easy. During the wedding itself, Sean did a terrific job organizing all parties and keeping everything on cue and on time. Regardless if you’re trying to plan your wedding in person or virtually from afar, we highly recommend Sean. -

Wonderful Experience!
Sean did a great job as our wedding coordinator! From the first inquiry I sent, he was very responsive and professional. He responded to every email quickly and provided helpful suggestions and ideas while also being very responsive to any feedback or changes from us. He made it so easy for me to plan an out of town wedding and even allowed me to ship a few things to him ahead of time. Everything went so smoothly on the day of our wedding and Sean is certainly to credit for this - I’m sure he did more than I even realize because it all went off without a hitch. He was calm when I was not (even when the groom was on the move and hard to track down at our large venue), kept everyone on a timeline without making things feel rushed, and even helped play music since we didn’t have a DJ at our micro wedding…this was so incredibly helpful for us! We highly recommend Sean. -

We couldn't have asked for a better planner to help us execute our wedding vision. Sean was very responsive, always on time, and had lots of ideas for how to get the wedding of our dreams. My husband and I are still amazed by how smoothly everything went. It felt like we floated through the night with absolutely no challenges. So many guests complimented us on the flow of the event and how seamless everything was. Sean and his team are excellent. 10/10 recommend. -

READ THIS: Sean is Amazing! Pandemic? Wildfires? NO PROBLEM!
We were having a small wedding (15 people) at Brix (Yountville, CA) in October 2020 and they required a wedding planner from their preferred list. I was a little annoyed that I had to hire one when I thought I could do it on my own, but it was the absolute best decision that was ever made for me. After contacting a few wedding planners that wanted an exorbitant amount of money to plan our tiny wedding, Sean came through. He gave us the most reasonable quote that included everything we needed and wanted. Throughout the 12 months of planning he responded to every miniscule question we had within 24 hours and made sure we were getting everything we wanted. If we changed our mind on something meager? No problem! He was so organized remembering every detail we asked for. A MONTH before our wedding, COVID-19 was still not improving and Brix was unable to accommodate our wedding. Sean instantly found us a gorgeous private estate that was outdoor in wine country. He organized everything we would need in addition (caterer, bathrooms, tables, tableware, etc.) and we were excited for the new venue. FOUR days before our wedding wildfires raged in northern California and the air quality wasn't acceptable enough to have our wedding outdoors. We were devastated! We asked Sean what we could do. He said that he would work with the vendors to get as much money back for us as he could or he could move the date a couple weeks into the future. We asked him if there was an indoor option somewhere and Superman did it again! He found us the absolute most beautiful resort for our wedding. He moved everything AGAIN and got us refunds from the previous vendors. Also, this may not be Sean's doing (who knows though?), but the air quality improved so much that we were able to have the ceremony in the vineyard at the resort! Not only did Sean's pre-wedding role impress, but so did his active wedding role. Sean was everywhere telling all the vendors what to do to make our day go as smooth as possible. He even drove our moms in his OWN car to the reception when the shuttle wasn't able to make it up the hill to the ceremony! Planning a wedding across the country (I live in PA) during a pandemic and wildfires was super stressful, but Sean was flawless. You will not regret a minute of your decision hiring him. I definitely didn't! -

Working with Sean was one of the BEST decisions we made during our entire wedding planning process. We hired Sean for our June 20th, 2020 wedding at V Sattui back in 2018 with his partial planning package. Well, the world had other plans and we ended up having to postpone multiple times. Throughout the entire process, Sean was always there for us- handling the date changes with vendors, keeping us updated on the ever changing requirements and plans, and being supportive to us!
During the course of planning, we had many phone calls with Sean to go over both the big picture and the details of our wedding. He made sure every little thing was taken care of- even stuff we didn't think about, like song selections, timeline, etc. We discussed our vision and budget, and Sean was able to recommend trusted vendors that could deliver exactly what we wanted. He attended any vendor consults we asked him to, providing valuable input on things like flowers and decor as well as food and wine selections! He was also very helpful in finding us areas to save money or stretch our budget, such as re-using our ceremony flowers for centerpieces or forgoing decor that wouldn't make a big impact on the overall appearance. All of the vendors that we booked through Sean (florist, cake, officiant, DJ, rentals, and hotel block) were amazing- he has a great network of vendors that all exceeded our expectations.
We appreciated how efficient and responsive Sean was- he was always available by text or email and stayed on top of everything for us, such as contract signing, deposits, etc. Sean ran our rehearsal and collected all of our items (guest book, place cards, etc) the day prior to our wedding. On the day of our wedding, we were truly able to enjoy every minute because Sean had everything handled! Sean went above and beyond our expectations. We couldn’t imagine going through it without him. All of the details came together and our wedding ran so smoothly, it was perfect!
We can't thank Sean enough for all of his assistance, guidance, and kind words throughout our wedding planning process. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a wedding or special event!Sean Dempsey & Associates's reply:
Thank you for the wonderful words Sara, I truly appreciate you and Greg. As a wedding planner, I could not have been more blessed than to have you as my clients, I'm so happy to have been on the journey with the both of you and I'll always consider you lifelong friends! Love to you both! -

In February, my daughter was married in V.Sattui winery. There is not one thing I would change from that day, and I am eternally grateful to Sean Dempsey for helping make that night magical. Coming from Florida, it was difficult to coordinate all the vendors necessary to put a wedding together. He made it happen with just one visit to California. In two days, we chose the flowers, cake, party favors, chairs, tablecloths, napkins, music, officiant, etc. He is Super Man. Sean also went beyond in helping out together activities for the entire weekend. I am 100% certain the wedding would not have been so perfect without Sean. -

Wedding planners are a necessity and Sean is the best! I was very picky when it came to choosing a planner but Sean was so genuine and understanding of my needs/wants that I had to go with him! From day one, he helped me get on the right track and he was always there when I needed him! Even if I just had a quick question, I could text him anytime and he would respond almost immediately! He helped me immensely and made sure I wasn't forgetting any details! My wedding was absolutely perfect and I couldn't thank Sean enough for all of his help! -

Sean was pure joy to work with. His experience and calm/thoughtful demeanor made everything so easy. I can honestly say I had zero stress from 1 year out to the day of our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better, and I doubt you’d find better out there! Thank you for everything Sean - everything was very much appreciated! -

Given that putting on a wedding is not exactly a frequent event, I was unsure what to expect when we hired a coordinator. Sean Dempsey was recommended to us, and all I can say is WOW!! I don't know that I have ever met someone so attentive, caring and thoughtful. Sean was not good; he was AMAZING!! I want to encourage my single friends to get married, just so they can use him. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but the point is made: Sean is the single most thoughtful service provider I have ever dealt with, bar none. Just exceptional.
