Reviews of Sara Michelle Weddings and Events (Event Planner)

Alexandra McClean

Wow! Sara is amazing! When my husband and I decided to get married in September we had 40 days to create our dream ceremony at the Sparks Lake Meadow in Bend, Oregon. Sara knew exactly what we should focus on and made planning the event a breeze. As for the decorations, I had no idea where to even begin. Sara gave me ideas that blew me away. The resulting look was simple and striking against the smoke cloaked mountains. My color scheme of plum and orange came through in muted yet beautiful ways that tied everything together. Sara also planned our reception in July. Held at the Aspen Hall in Bend, Oregon. She took my travel theme and fit it perfectly into the venue. As a bride who did not want to be involved in the decorative details I knew I could tell Sara my vision and she would deliver something even better than I could have imagined. And that is exactly what she did! When I walked in to the venue after she set up I was shocked and overcome with emotion. She perfectly encapsulated myself and my husband with the decorations and the feel of the room. The guests were equally impressed and at the end of the night when we told everyone to take anything they wanted we were left with almost nothing! As for planning she helped with our timelines, finding and handling vendors, and was our day of coordinator for both events. I can honestly say I experienced absolutely no stress during either day! Sara was amazing at problem solving for anything that came up and the events went off without a hitch. I am so grateful for everything that Sara did, and I would definitely recommend her as your wedding planner for any level of help you need!

I hired Sara with only 5 months to spare before my wedding! She was super flexible and so much fun to talk to, she had so many ideas to add to my very nebulous theme! With her it became elegant and most importantly, concrete. I had this idea of having gold flatware for dinner, I was even prepared to buy sets of it but she helped me track down someone to rent it from! She traveled all the way to McCall Idaho to help with set up the night before and early the day of. Her team arranged breakfast for us and made sure I (the bride!) ate and stayed hydrated. She stayed until we had finished partying and it was like we were never even there after she and her team cleaned up! I am still in love with the vendors she helped me pick, no complaints whatsoever. Sara Michelle weddings and events makes me want to do it all over again every year!

Hiring Sara as our day-of coordinator was absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. It was a special blessing to be able to spend precious time with our families before our ceremony and know that Sara and her husband/team were setting up and making sure every detail was in place. She helped us with some last-minute fixes and even added thoughtful extra touches that coordinated with our theme and color scheme! We were so glad to have her there to discreetly guide us through our reception when we were in a happy fog; we wouldn’t have known what to do without her there. Sara's passion for weddings combined with her organization and attention to detail make her worth far more than the rates she charges. We would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding; with her help, our wedding was the smoothly-run success we dreamt it could be!

Sara's services were one of the greatest investments my husband and I made for our wedding! She took all of my half-baked ideas and made the most perfect wedding I could have dreamed of. Throughout the planning process she was super responsive, very organized, so so nice, and made sure to keep me on track with everything. Whenever I had a question or asked for a recommendation for vendors she did all the research for me and gave me referrals to some really great services (DJ, hair & makeup, etc). She created the design plan for the ceremony and reception and did an incredible job. When the day of the wedding came it was absolutely perfect - she took care of all the small details I didn't even think of and overall made the wedding day just perfect. Everything great about our wedding was great because of Sara. I could not recommend her services more. She's the best.

Sara is the most attentive, detail oriented, caring, loving, hard working wedding planner there ever was. We could not have asked for a better person to help us create and execute our perfect day, nothing went wrong because Sara was soo organized and on top of everything! We have made such a great friend through this whole experience, we are forever grateful for Sara! I couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her!

Sara and her company made my wedding day the easiest day of my life. My wife and I had given her a rough outline of what we wanted done and she took it and ran with it. We had zero problems and so many magical moments. We recommend her to all of our friends and family. They are absolute pros at what they do!
