    This is your sign to book Plum & Poppy

    I met Sarah at my best friend's wedding in 2021 as her day-of coordinator and I knew - even before I was engaged - that I wanted Sarah as my future wedding planner. After getting engaged, the first thing I did was schedule a call with Sarah and the rest is history. It truly takes a village to put on a wedding, and Sarah and her team made my dream wedding a reality. Sarah was quick to respond to my texts/calls/emails (this was HUGE for me), genuinely listened to and cared about all of my (sometimes crazy) ideas, and I felt as if she treated my wedding as if it were her own. Plum and Poppy helped give me the wedding of my dreams and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

    seamless and amazing

    PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire the wonderful team at plum and poppy for your wedding. As an out of state bride, they were an absolute lifeline in helping plan our wedding from thousands of miles away. We cannot thank them enough and highly recommend them to any in or out of state bride and/or groom :)

    Through a rollercoaster of an engagement season (COVID), Sarah made my dream wedding happen!

    I truly do no have words for my gratitude for Sarah and her team. From a postponement due to COVID to county regulation changes, Sarah went ABOVE AND BEYOND to not only make our wedding happen, but make it happen how I originally envisioned the day. She is such a calming presence (which trust me - has been much needed during this season!) and knows how to handle every curveball the process brings. She handled vendor changes, last minute supply issues, and my mom's extreme attention to detail like a champ which is a feat in and of itself. Our wedding day was everything I dreamt of and more, and I know that wouldn't have been possible without Sarah. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    During a time (COVID) of uncertainty, Sarah made a dream wedding happen.

    I don’t think a review will cover what Sarah and her team did for me. As a COVID bride you’d expect endless amounts of stress or sorrows but Sarah made everything so much easier for me, she became a true friend and confidant during a time of uncertainty and fear. Every PIVOT we experienced felt so smooth and she intimately helped me plan three different weddings, including decreasing our headcount from 150 to 50 two weeks before our wedding. I still get emotional thinking about the journey that brought us to our DREAM of a day and it was all thanks to Sarah. She went beyond her typical day of coordinator and I am so grateful for who she is and what care she provides for each of her brides. Thank you so much Sarah!!!

    So grateful!

    Choosing to work with Plum & Poppy was one of the best decisions that we made during our wedding planning process. We can’t thank Sarah enough for all she did for us. From the pre-wedding preparations, to guiding us through a 5 month postponement due to COVID, Sarah was on top of everything and relieved so much of our stress and anxiety. Our two day celebration was condensed to a one day celebration that Sarah and her team seamlessly guided us through. She anticipated our needs throughout the day, and even helped sewn on a button that popped off one of the groomsmen’s shirts! I can’t say enough what a pleasure it was to work with Sarah and her team. We’ll always be grateful for the memories she helped us make!

    Perfect at handling everything!

    Sarah and her team were amazing! Leading up to our wedding, she recommended numerous venders, all of which we loved! I am forever keeping my makeup artist that she recommended to us and our DJ was amazing! She helped take care of all the small details. Until 3 months before our wedding, I was fine managing that. But once I started school I did not have the capacity to remember everything we decided on! I was so happy she did because she made the day of so easy! She was there to help with everything, from sewing my mother in laws dress back together to redoing a majority of the flowers since our caterer froze them. She was always available for questions and was great at lining everyone up for the ceremony. One thing I was really concerned about on our wedding day was having my anxiety kick into overdrive with all our family in one location. Sarah and her team made it so that I really had nothing to worry about! It was such a perfect day, aside from melting in 102 degree Indiana heat! I cannot recommend her enough to brides out there! She is amazing with design and execution!

    Incredible support when you need it most

    Having worked in the Indianapolis wedding industry, I knew from the moment I got engaged that I was going to work with Sarah, as her professionalism and keen eye for detail are well known throughout the area. While we went with the day-of package, Sarah was a resource for me throughout the entire planning process, offering insight and suggestions while guiding me down the right path on every issue. Once we fell in the home stretch, Sarah became a lifeline. Knowing that she was managing vendor communications and timelines in those final weeks lifted a weight I hadn't even known I was carrying. Then finally on wedding day, Sarah kept everything running like a well-oiled machine. She looped me in on questions that she knew I'd care about, but made executive decisions on the rest, which - for this Type A bride - was such a gift. Her team made every transition happen with ease, so much so that guests commented on the "magical elves" transforming the space. If you're debating getting a planner, DO IT - but if you want the best planner, hire Sarah.

    We planned our wedding in Indy while living in LA and I can't imagine doing it without Sarah! I found Sarah through The Knot and after reading all the glowing reviews, I knew she'd be the perfect planner to work with for our big day. We booked the wedding coordination package with just seven months until the big day and Sarah was incredibly thorough and detail-oriented from our first phone call. I knew from that first call that I could count on her to pull all the final details together on the day of our wedding. Sarah's also established a solid network of wedding vendors in the Indianapolis area and I was so grateful for her recommendations (floral and pie) since we weren't as familiar with local wedding vendors. My mother-in-law also hired Plum & Poppy to help run our huge rehearsal dinner and we're so glad we had someone from her team there, too!

    I'm so grateful to Sarah and her team -- they made our day incredibly fun, stress-free, and special. Thank you so much, Sarah and the rest of the Plum & Poppy team!!

    Beyond, Beyond, Beyond!

    Sarah was BEYOND WORDS! She is so cool, calm and collected. She took the pressure of me and my mom for the wedding day and had our backs the entire way. Her organization and attention to detail are exactly what you want on your wedding day, I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing on our busy wedding day. Hiccups on your wedding day are expected and Sarah intercepted them and problem solved before I knew they were even an issue. I cannot recommend Sarah and her team enough, they are the dream team!

    Plum and Poppy was the best investment we made for our big day! Sarah and Beth were so wonderful to work with throughout this entire process. They both really made us feel comfortable with everything we were planning for this special day.

    Sarah went to all of our vendor meetings and tastings. She helped us stick to our budget and when we did want to splurge on something else (like more flowers) she tried to tell us where we could adjust the price somewhere else.

    Sarah and Beth have amazing knowledge and skills in the wedding industry and I am so thankfully they were able to guide us through this process. When my friends and family asked how my wedding planning was going I always laughed to myself because it was a breeze. Never once was I stressed out and that was all because Sarah and Beth. My fiance and I will forever be grateful for them (and so will our Mothers haha).

    Sarah and her team were a huge help with my wedding. Pakistani weddings can get complicated with the amount of people invited as well as the amount of events leading up to the big day. Sarah took special care that every event was perfect and always made sure that my husband and I as well as our families had everything we needed. We were taken care of by Sarah and her team and couldn't be happier with her services. Highly recommended!

    Beth with Plum and Poppy was amazing! I wanted a day of planner and she was that and much more! From making sure the wedding party knew where to be/what do to, to handling all the vendors, to taking care of last minute details, she was on top of it! Extremely friendly, personable and was a joy to work with. Thanks for making our day run so smoothly and one we will never forget!

    I can't say enough good things about working with Sarah and her team. My husband and I were planning our wedding from across the country and hit quite a few road bumps with our venue. Fairly close to the wedding, we found ourselves in a position where we needed to bring in an outside coordinator. Luckily for us, Sarah and her team were still available for our wedding day.

    She jumped in right away and was extremely responsive - even when she wasn't available, there was always a message letting us know she was at an event and she would get back to us so quickly every time. She took over the coordination of details with all of our vendors, which was a lifesaver so close to the wedding when our heads were exploding with too many details. She had also worked with many of our vendors before and had such a great rapport with all of them - when we mentioned our coordinator, our other vendors had amazing things to say about working with her.

    Having her support with the final details leading up to our wedding was such a weight off our shoulders, but having her day-of was probably the best decision we made. Sarah is so calm, organized, and prepared for anything. We had an unexpected day-of vendor change, which she completely handled. We ended up being short a boutonniere and she crafted an extra from our table flowers. Then when someone stepped on my dress and ripped one of my bustles, she pulled me aside and sewed it right back together in 30 seconds.

    Because of her, our wedding day was so relaxed and flowed so smoothly. It was the only day I was home that my head wasn't spinning and I'm so thankful she was there to lift the load of that day so we could be fully present and truly immersed in the celebration with our friends and family.

    Sarah and her team are amazing and truly helped make our wedding day so fun, special, and memorable. Think of her team as an early wedding gift to yourself - you will be so thankful to have them there to make your day perfect!

    My fiancé and I were engaged in January 2017 and set a wedding date for June, where we planned to host 300+ people in Indianapolis; we were in dire need of help with our planning as we only had 5 months! After just one phone call with Sarah, founder of Plum & Poppy, my mom and I immediately felt at ease and confident that Sarah would bring the professional input, support, and organization that we needed. Sarah was willing to meet with us as often as we needed to work through details and always gave us her honest opinion about various aspects of the wedding. Our wedding required a unique level of security and Sarah's involvement was instrumental in ensuring all logistics played out very smoothly.

    Everything was absolutely PERFECT on the day of our wedding. Sarah was present at the reception venue day-of to ensure the set up at the Scottish Rite was exactly as we had planned, while we were getting ready for the wedding ceremony (held at St. John's). Sarah and her team are extremely well connected in Indianapolis and the surrounding area, which worked very well for us as she was already familiar with many of our vendors. Her input was irreplaceable and each day we worked together she brought her fun, supportive and patient demeanor with her. We are so grateful to have had her help and highly recommend her team to anyone looking to plan a gorgeous wedding!

    Sarah was extremely helpful and quick to respond whenever my daughter or I needed her! She let us take the lead when we wanted to, but was very resourceful when we needed it without being too overwhelming. Given the 5 month timeline, she was exactly what we needed!

    When it hit me (and my parents) that I’d be planning a wedding in less than 6 months in an unfamiliar city, I knew I’d need someone timely and organized to help. I’m so happy to say that Sarah has been that and so much more. She made herself available to us from the very first email sent. She is both organized and professional, and yet friendly and easy to talk to (even my husband, who only talks sports and science, and my parents agree). Sarah was careful to help my groom and I plan the wedding that we dreamed of, while being able to offer her own unique insight and connections to help us reach the feel that we wanted to. On the day of the wedding, Sarah’s sense of confidence in how the day would go really soothed my nerves. She was both amiable and prepared with everything, including anything that I asked of her the day of. Choosing Plum and Poppy to help plan and coordinate our wedding was by far the best choice we made in planning our wedding day.

    Sarah was AMAZING and the best money spent on anything for my wedding. My mom and I reached out to her about 6 months before my wedding date with the original intent to hire her as the day of coordinator. After meeting with Sarah, we quickly realized we needed her assistance right away and ended up hiring her for full planning. She was so organized, knowledgeable, and gave such great advise in that very first meeting. She knew what we should spend time and money on and what we should not focus on. She was quick to put a timeline together and really got us re-focused on everything that was still outstanding. I am the first and only daughter in my family, so my mom and I were walking into the whole planning process blind. We quickly became overwhelmed and were clueless with a lot of things. Sarah took the stress away and made the last few months of planning so easy and smooth. She attended all appointments and was available whenever we needed. She was constantly checking in and always reminding us that everything would be taken care of. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. I had been told by friends and co-workers that the day of would never run smooth and that things would go wrong. I prepped myself the week before to just roll with whatever the day brings. I can honestly say, not one thing went wrong in my eyes. The day ran beautifully and I was able to enjoy every minute of it. My mom and I tend to be control freaks and want to get involved with everything, but that day we both enjoyed ourselves and did not worry about a thing. When I walked into the church and the reception venue, it was exactly how I pictured it to be. Sarah kept my entire (large) crew on schedule and I was able to do everything I wanted to that day. It was honestly a dream! Sarah and her team were super organized, friendly, and so calm. They were the perfect people to be around during such a crazy day. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Sarah for your big day. You will not regret it!!

    If you want to enjoy your wedding, use Plum and Poppy. Beth McHugh is wonderful. As a professional DJ, I have been involved in countless weddings good and bad. Beth has now coordinated both of my daughters weddings and they were both magnificent. I always tell my clients to expect something to go wrong, because it usually does. This weekend at my daughter Morgan's wedding I know that there were at least 2 big problems brewing and Beth shouldered the burden and fixed them without my wife and daughter ever knowing about it. I have had many friends and family members tell me they plan on using Beth when their time arrives for their daughters weddings.
    Thank you so much for making sure nothing interfered with making Morgan and Michael's wedding perfect!

Her passion and love for her work just shines through the day. There is no one better. She found her calling and I'm so glad she was here for us.

    We found Sarah via our photographer because they are best friends. From the moment we spoke with Sarah on the phone, the connection was immediate. We hired her that same evening before we ever met her in person. Once we met her in person, it only confirmed our decision to hire her for day-of coordination services because she came with a list of things we hadn't even thought of yet. Sarah was always responsive to any sort of question or concern. She met with us and our florist to make sure everyone was on the same page in terms of the overall look for the ceremony and reception. She created a timeline for our wedding day and communicated it to all of our vendors. She was always timely and courteous. At the rehearsal, she corralled everyone and kept us on track (even though we ourselves were running behind!). She intervened on our behalf when the invitation/printing vendor incorrectly printed items the week before the wedding. The day-of she and her team set everything up and helped our florist make everything look beautiful. All the decorations turned out even better than we anticipated in our imagination, and a large part of that is due to Sarah. We handed her boxes of stuff and just said, "Use your best judgment on where to put things." She knocked it out of the park. Truly, a wonderful experience and worth the money. We were a little hesitant in hiring a coordinator because it is an extra expense; however, after meeting Sarah, we wished we had done it sooner in the process. We honestly can't say enough good things about Sarah and her team. She treated our wedding day as if it were her own. So glad we met her! We give our highest recommendation and would not hesitate to hire her for any type of celebration planning.

    The ladies at Plum and Poppy are amazing! Seeing that I work in the industry, I know how critical a planner is on the big day, so it was a no-brainer for me to hire Sarah and her team to help execute my vision. They were quick to respond to all of my questions, and helpful with suggestions when asked. They made my day as stress-free as possible and I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else as part of my wedding day dream team.
