JOIN OUR FREE ONLINE WEDDING PLANNING WEEKEND! FEBRUARY 20-22, 2026 Go to our website for more information and to register for FREE! ********************* ✨ Your Fire-Fighting Fairy Godmother of Weddings, Proposals, & Special Events ✨ For over 15 years, I’ve helped couples and families celebrate life’s biggest moments through beautifully planned weddings, proposals, private events, and conferences. As the Fire-Fighting Fairy Godmother, I make dreams come true while quietly solving the challenges that arise behind the scenes—so you only see the joy, never the stress. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, allowing you to laugh, dance, and enjoy time with the people you love. Event planning doesn’t start on the wedding day—it begins with the proposal! For many men, creating the perfect setting for that once-in-a-lifetime question can feel overwhelming. I design and coordinate romantic, tailored proposal setups—from intimate Hudson Valley orchard picnics to luxury Hamptons beachside moments—so all you have to do is ask. I’ll handle the logistics, styling, and timing, while you focus on the most important part: getting down on one knee. Based in the Hudson Valley, Eastern Long Island, and The Hamptons, I create elevated, modern-luxury celebrations—from vineyard proposals and seaside weddings to celebrations, retreats and conferences filled with meaning. Alongside me is an exceptional team of assistants, who bring care, precision, and warmth to every event, ensuring every detail flows seamlessly. Services Include: Full wedding planning, proposal & engagement setup and styling, event styling & design, day-of & month-of coordination, micro-weddings, private parties, Christian retreats & conferences, Christian wedding ceremonies, baptism & confirmation celebrations, and Jewish wedding ceremonies. ✨ Weddings Planned with Grace. Celebrations Lived with Joy. ✨

Hiring Sarah as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions that we made when planning our wedding. We had a very casual ceremony and reception at a park pavilion, and I originally didn't think that we would need a coordinator. But when I started to get overwhelmed with coordinating all of the moving pieces of a wedding reception (even a casual one) myself, I reached out to Sarah. From our first phone call, I immediately felt better about the entire wedding process. While we hired Sarah just as a day-of coordinator, she was there to talk me through all the details of decor and vendors in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding as well. And on the day-of, she was exactly the calm and organized presence that we needed. From beautifully decorating the pavilion, to ushering us and our wedding party to exactly where and when we needed to be for the ceremony, to bringing us plates of food and drinks and checking in with us because she knew how overwhelmed we would be, Sarah was undoubtably the driving force in ensuring our wedding day went off without a hitch. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her for any wedding or event!

Hiring Sarah was the best decision I made throughout my wedding planning journey. The way that she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to execute every task makes her a gem. Sarah and Laura truly made my wedding possible and I couldn't be happier that I chose them to be by my side. Please give With Bells On a try, you will not regret it.

What a beautiful wedding day Andrea! The Thayer was incredible to work with as we needed to be flexible around the weather. I am so happy that your day was so wonderful and that we were a part of it. Many blessings to you and Zachary!!

Wonderful experience with Sarah here at Rustic Ridge View Farm (Kerhonkson). She’s super professional, relaxed, thorough and if you are thinking of using her services, it’s a good move:)
