My husband and I are so grateful we had the opportunity to have S.D events assist with our wedding day! Sara and her sister were extremely professional and worked so hard to get the job done! Sara was so much more than a typical day of planner! She made sure she was well informed every step of the way! Sara was very quick at answering ALL my questions! Sara helped keep the wedding process as fun and stress free as possible. My husband and I were able to enjoy every minute of our day ( and our days leading up to the wedding) because we knew Sara had everything under control we trusted her completely ! Most importantly, Sara & S.D Events made us feel apart of their family, and made sure we were taken care of. We have already recommended S.D Events to our friends!

Sara and Alli were the two most amazing women I have ever met. I was planning a wedding that I had no idea how to plan. These two ladies helped me and my Mother EVERY step of the way. From the biggest items to the smallest (that I would have never even known to plan), they were extremely knowledgeable, had so many great ideas, and went above and beyond what we even agreed to in the first place. From the very beginning, we had everything down on paper and timelines. Throughout the process, if I had questions, they responded right away. We had many in person meetings where they took my ideas and put them onto paper so I could see how everything was going to look. They checked in frequently to make sure I was okay and not freaking out. They came with their own items to decorate with which were all SUPER cute. The day before, they were out in the heat setting up, sweating their butts off! Then a big storm came and they were out in the rain taking care of the fact that our tent had fallen during the storm. Come the day of, they again were sweating their butts off setting up, keeping me calm, making sure myself, my husband, my parents, and the rest of the bridal party had nothing to worry about and made sure that we had the best day. Sara and Alli are not only amazing at their job, but they are also funny, kind, smart, and beautiful from the inside out. I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day something I could never forget. These girls are incredible and you would be stupid not to hire them for your wedding!!!

Sarah and Alli of SD Events were absolutely LEGENDARY to have as wedding planners for our special day! My partner and I are both “planners” ourselves having experience in organizing large-scale events and thus, never thought we needed a wedding planner. And in fact, we accomplished a lot of the big tasks way in advance, and were feeling pretty confident as we moved toward our wedding….until, that is, about a month before the big day – when we realized that there were so many tasks to accomplish and coordinate in those final few weeks/days leading up to the event, we had a panic moment! Throw in thinking about actually how we’d “run the show” on the day of our wedding when we needed to focus on getting married and enjoying the company of loved ones (including during the after party when essential breakdown needed to happen), we realized we were in desperate need of a coordinator! After some research online, we luckily happened upon Sarah and SD events. From the very first inquiry, Sarah was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with about the various needs in front of us. Meeting with her in person to discuss our needs in greater detail, we immediately knew this was a perfect fit! Not only did Sarah quickly pick up on our vision, she was proactive in a constructive and genuine way by offering advice and connections with her network in the industry/area that were invaluable! Seriously, she thought of EVERYTHING! In those final and critical days/hours leading up to our wedding, Sarah was willing to meet our every need and spearheaded the final logistics in a way that put us at ease and confident that she would go above and beyond to coordinate our wedding, which was nothing short of perfect! The same can be reiterated for her coordination on our big day, pulling off the larger task of seamlessly moving our big day from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, etc., but also honing in on smaller, yet thoughtful details – such as making sure to bring some hor’dourves to our bridal suite so that my new spouse and I could have some food and enjoy the choices we made (which we probably would have never thought to eat otherwise!). Sarah also took the lead on figuring out how to hang a neon sign on a historic brick wall built in the 1800s when the team realized last minute that there were no nails to hang it from! We didn’t even know there was a problem until the next day because Sarah jumped into action without ever bothering us!!! The sign was hung by wedding time and looked amazing over the dancefloor. By the way, Alli is a pro at re-gluing false lashes on brides when they come off moments before the ceremony ☺ Finally, after it was all said and done, Sarah was a valuable asset in assuring that all the loose ends were tied up and resolving any post-wedding tasks that needed to be accomplished. As demonstrated before the wedding, her follow-up and communication in wrapping everything up was essential – because we were exhausted by the end! Beyond how amazing they are at planning and implementing a wedding, Sarah and her sister, Alli, are genuinely nice and cool people! They always made us feel at ease and like we were talking with friends. Although they are extremely well organized and on top of everything, they also take a “go with the flow” attitude/approach, which is an awesome trait to having in a wedding coordinator that helps you feel at ease! Many wedding guests commented on how calm my partner and I were throughout the whole day (side note – to be clear, we are typically very anxious people), which we 100% attribute to Sarah and Alli’s preparedness and personality. Thank you so much to Sarah for being such a great wedding coordinator! We would hire her 10/10 times again if we ever need coordinating for other events and truly know that without her and Alli’s assistance, our wedding would not have been the LEGENDARY event that it was! Thank you!
