Seamless Support from Start to Finish
We were very fortunate to have had a wedding planning guardian angel that supported and guided us throughout our journey to 'I Do', and her name was Sharon!
From the beginning of our working together, Sharon was helpful with ideas, respectful of our budget and thorough in her communications. Our engagement was not long (just 6 months), and our jobs did not allow a lot of time for taking on the planning process ourselves, so we were looking for a moderate level of logistical support and creativity. We spoke to several planners in the area, and Sharon stood out immediately because of experience level, clear communication style and professional enthusiasm aka we knew she'd be fun to work with, but she'd also get things done! Plus, she respected our budget, and worked with us to find a proposal that was fair for both parties, so we knew we were in good hands with someone we felt we could trust.
Sharon's years of experience means she has built an incredible network of vendor relationships, so she was able to quickly connect us with her network - particularly our florist Julie Stevens (who we also recommend!). If we found a vendor on our own, Sharon was fair in reviewing them and giving an unbiased assessment.
Sharon is also talented creatively, and helped us come up with several guest experience perks that made the day special without having to break the bank.
However, where Sharon really excels is communications (and patience!). She is incredibly thorough, so she kept us on track. She also navigated constant questions from our family, even taking extra calls with parents to help ensure everyone felt comfortable with the plan. She also worked tirelessly as an advocate for us with our venue regarding gift bag logistics, wedding block needs and overall set up details. Without her, we don't know how we could have tackled it all.
Needless to day, the day was a success, and our wedding was a dream come true for us. It was seamless, and everything went smoothly like a well-oiled machine. All of that credit goes to Sharon. She made it possible for us to focus on the moment, ourselves and our guests while she made the magic happen - truly like a guardian angel. Plus, the cherry on top of the sundae was our other vendors telling us after what a tremendous job she did to keep them coordinated (and family members of ours also in the event coordination business sharing how mind blown they were by her service/professionalism).
We can't speak highly enough of Sharon, and can't thank her enough for the tremendous job she did making our wedding the best day of our lives!
Note: It should be noted that our wedding was at the Silverado Resort & Spa. Sharon would be an excellent planner regardless of venue, but if you have booked that venue/or are considering it, Sharon is a expert at navigating the Silverado! She has both worked there previously, and done tons of weddings there afterward, making her the absolute go-to for the venue. She knows it like the back of her hand, and it made all of the difference when it came to the final touches regarding day of logistics!
