The Best Decision for Our Wedding!

I could not imagine my wedding day without Steph Saunders! From the day of booking, to after our reception, Steph managed everything with a smile and pure professionalism. Steph was attentive to our questions and requests, managed every detail and issue that came up, and was so calm through the entire day. She genuinely was one of the highlights of my entire day. All my family, bridal party, and other vendors were telling me about the positive impression she left. Booking with Steph was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

THE BEST Wedding Planner

I cannot describe enough how incredible Steph was. I would recommend her with my eyes closed. She made our wedding stress free, I didn't even have to think about anything on our wedding day. She walked me off a ledge multiple times during the planning process and she did it with such grace and love. She is so kind, organized, and respectful. Think no longer, you've found your planner!

Flawless Wedding Weekend

Steph is easily one of the most personable, communicative, and caring planners out there. She puts her heart into what she does and goes above and beyond for ALL. We had a HUGE wedding party and she managed all of us and our chaos seamlessly. If anything went wrong on wedding day, I never noticed because she made sure everything kept flowing perfectly and that every single little detail was special. She may or may not have climbed several sets of stairs several times for me for shoe changes, dress changes, you name it! If we could do it all over again, we’d choose Steph 10 times out of 10. ❤️

Steph Saunders
Owner & Operator

For the past 12 years, Steph has worked in several areas in the event industry including professional and collegiate sports, hotels and resorts, outdoor recreation and non-profits. Steph quickly found her passion for wedding coordination when she moved to a destination wedding location and was able to use her diverse professional experience to help bring each couples' dreams to reality.

One of Steph's favorite things about weddings is the ceremony. Over the years, she has been pleasantly surprised by her non-traditional couples choosing to do something totoally THEM during the ceremony; Best Dogs, whiskey barrelling ceremonies, and even the Jurrassic Park theme song for the processional for not one...but TWO spereate ceremonies.

In her free time, Steph enjoys playing soccer in her local league, spending the afternoon in a coffee shop her caffeine-obsessed hubby Ben, listening to her fave podcasts or stuffing her face with popcorn at the movie theatre.
