Jamie R. Sent on 06/16/2024Sam was absolutely amazing!!
I cannot say enough about Sam - she really was the glue to our day being so stress-free and smooth. You can tell she really cares about the couples she works with and made everything feel personal (versus just another wedding). She included little touches like celebrating our 6 month out date and helped us coordinate all the small details a few months out. On the day of, she ran the day and seamlessly. She pivoted to ensure everything flowed when we had rain during our family photo & cocktail hour, moved dinner up to ensure folks weren't sitting too long and likely made more calls that I'm not even aware of to ensure everything was perfect. Her direction for rehearsal and even things like the grand entrance was so appreciated, we never had to worry because we knew we were in good hands. My husband and family still talk about how awesome Sam was, and as an event professional myself, I can honestly say she was one of our best hires. She was just on top of it and always so calm. I am so grateful to have her be part of our day and would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about hiring her. Thanks Sam!! -

Sam was an incredible help for our wedding, and really set our minds at ease with her day of coordination services. She has a calm and capable presence that I'd recommend to anyone. We had a backyard wedding with a lot of vendors to juggle and she did an incredible job advocating for our wants while smoothly handling many logistics to get them all in place. She was able to get our chaotic family in order for the rehearsal too- not an easy feat. Hire her! You won't regret it!Wholehearted Events's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Yours and Keenan's wedding was SUCH a blast, I'm so glad to have been a part of ensuring its smoothness! If the rest of your marriage is half as lively as your wedding day, then you're off to a wonderful start. Wishing you both all the best! -

You’re reading this review because you have decided to go with a day of coordinator or wedding coordinator. Good choice. We hired Samantha as our day of coordinator.
Samantha worked with us through the months leading up to the wedding, checking in occasionally, but really kicking it into high gear the month of. She verified all of the details with our vendors, identifying a couple of line items that needed to be changed with our florist (like, that the flowers needed to be delivered to the ceremony as well as the reception!), coordinating with our venue to get all of the liability agreements from vendors, determining the timeline of the day, and working with us to nail down logistics for decoration delivery and setup.
She was great working with all of the vendor coordinators and established herself as the key point of contact.
Once the ceremony started, the rest of the day was a cakewalk. Samantha made sure we were where we needed to be, when we needed to be, and also coordinated the setup of the reception venue – a task which she had only an hour and a half to setup 25 guest tables, a head table, sweetheart table, and other decorations. During the reception, we realized that there was no good bouquet to toss – Samantha quickly reworked a generic bouquet of flowers we had from the store into a smaller bouquet that was suitable to toss. She also worked with the driver of our limo to locate a cufflink that the groom had lost – the cufflink was found and safely returned in the mail.
If you are getting married and are able to book Wholehearted Events, do it. Samantha was excellent in gently steering us away from risky decisions during planning and was absolutely key in pulling off our vision, removing all of the stress from us on the day of our wedding, enabling us to focus on the important thing – each other. -

Sara Sent on 09/27/2023Amazing!
It was so great working with Samantha and her assistant Emma from Wholehearted Events! We hired Samantha as a day-of-coordinator to help us out during the last month or so of wedding planning as well as the day of our wedding and it was 1000% worth it! I truly believe we didn't have any issues on our wedding day due to Samantha taking care of everything and being so organized! She helped with contacting vendors the week of our wedding, setting up all of our decor, helping us build a wedding timeline, and so much more! We are so grateful for her and her hard work and dedication and highly recommend her services to any couple! -

Samantha was the best decision I made for my wedding. She was so beyond helpful, calm, organized and just so kind. I promise if you think you don’t need a day of coordinator, you do. It was the best with all of the craziness of the day knowing that there was one person who would handle the MOUNTAIN of details. Samantha was truly the best you won’t regret it 🥰 -

Alyah C. Sent on 10/25/2022Best coordinator ever!
Sam was a perfect day-of coordinator! She was always very helpful & responsive via email/text, super detail-oriented, and very organized. She thought of so many details that I hadn't yet considered. She provided an extremely helpful wedding prep checklist that helped keep us on track. And most importantly, she made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day so that we had nothing to do but show up and have the best day of our lives! Overall, I highly recommend Sam (wholehearted events) and am so thankful that she was there to help with our big day!Wholehearted Events's reply:
Ahh! Alyah! Thank you so much for your kind words! You and your ~husband~ are seriously so beautiful together and I couldn't be more honored to have assisted in streamlining such a beautiful day! -

Where do I start? First of all, I was given 2 huge tips for my wedding planning. Hire a day-of-coordinator and get a good photographer. I was, like most brides, trying to save money and wasn't sure if a coordinator would be worth it. She was worth SO much more than that. If you are asking yourself if you really need a coordinator (like I asked myself time and time again), the answer is YES, YOU ABSOLUTELY DO!! Our day was perfect and seamless, and my husband and I know Sam is the one to thank for that. We were both able to truly relax and enjoy the day. I don't feel like anything went wrong, even though some things did, because she was on it every time. All the nerves I thought I'd feel went unnoticed. Sam handled planning before and during the wedding, took care of all of our vendors, kept us on time, made sure we ate and drank, and SO much more. Her and her husband John felt like lifelong best friends there to support us on our big day. She goes above and beyond and clearly loves what she does. I cannot recommend her enough. Don't walk, RUN to book Sam for your wedding!!Wholehearted Events's reply:
Thank you so much, Kat!
I cannot even begin to describe how much of an honor it was to be a part of your day! You and Ben are so incredibly perfect for each other. It was beautiful to experience such a perfect match choosing forever :)
Though it was toasty, we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather and we are so glad you both were able to enjoy the day completely! As you both have said, and your family echoes, you two were truly meant to be, and I couldn't be happier for you both!
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

Had my sisters' wedding during COVID and as expected we had to very flexible throughout the wedding. Samantha was great to work with and understood that our wedding was not going to be traditional. She adapted to the circumstances and was especially helpful the day before and the day of the wedding to make sure everything went absolutely smooth! This was definitely a stress reliever and I am so happy we booked her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator! -

Where to begin! Sam went over and above our expectations for our wedding. She is extremely organized, helped us with our vendors, and was excellent the day of our wedding. I was completely stress free for the day of. I couldn’t tell you if anything went wrong on our wedding day because Sam was always there making sure things went smoothly. I was told by many of my bridal party, family, and guest of how great of a job Sam did! I can’t not thank her enough for everything she has done for us!! This is your girl right here! 5000/10 ⭐️Wholehearted Events's reply:

Wishing you and Derek the absolute best!!
