A little About Sarah....

Most of my brides know me as just their planner, the person they come to to get wedding answers and assitance. So I thought it would be fun to give you an idea who I am when I am not planning weddings!

Favorite Part of Being a Wedding Planner
I LOVE the wonderful couples that I get to work with. There is no better feeling in the world than someone enjoy the Best Day of Their Life. I love knowing that I am saving the couple time, stress and worries. I will do everything in my power to make sure that they are taken care of and that the day and the planning process goes smooth!

Favorite Activities
I love Summer... Everything that has to do with it. I love boating, the hot weather, taking my puppy on walks, sitting on my patio with my husband, and Margaritas! I love being active, which is probably why I love running around on wedding days! I love shopping, Traveling,celebrating, going to movies, and just being with my friends and family.

Unique Wedding Ideas

One of the reasons that couples are finding the need for a wedding planner is that we do this for a career and we are good at thinking of ideas! One of the services I offer my couples is a "List" that I have compiled over the years that points out some fun ideas to really customize your day!

Here are a few:
o Predinner Predictions- Guests found a card asking them to make 10-year predictions for the couple. It is a great way to get your guests to laugh and mingle!

o Table Numbers- Do something more creative than just using a number. Some great ideas are using photos of places where you have traveled, names of your favorite restaurants, favorite movies, places you have went on dates, etc.

o Place Trivia cards or questions about the couple at each place setting that way when the guests are waiting to get their meal they can learn some fun facts.


o Consider using your favors as escort cards; use your favors as centerpieces also. Consider doing potted plants and tie a little note to the plan explaining that guests are welcome to take it home when they leave.

o Send off snacks are a fun way to leave your guests with reminder of your special day. If you are not doing favors this a great alternative. Treat your guests to popcorn, cones of French fries, ice cream, donuts, warm chocolate chip cookies, etc.

o If your venue offers valet considering asking your valets to place favors in your guests dashboards when they retrieve their cars.
