We cannot say enough about how fantastic Sarah is - hiring her to plan our fall wedding at Willow Hill was the single best decision we made during the planning process. From our first call with her a year out to the wedding weekend itself, we felt completely at ease knowing she understood our vision for an intimate, family-centric weekend and was on top of every detail. She is an expert listener and communicator, was quick to grasp what we wanted for certain elements of the weekend and effectively conveyed that to all vendors involved. She also regularly kept us on track with the activities we needed to complete and served as a thoughtful advisor as we finalized decisions, clearly noting tradeoffs and ensuring the things that we had said were most important to us were always centered in the decision making. Meetings with her were always something we looked forward to - her passion for her work, genuine care for people and positive energy always shone through and made the planning experience really fun for us.

The wedding itself was the best weekend of our lives, in large part due to Sarah’s flawless planning & execution. Sarah’s design for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding was perfect and even better than what we had envisioned, bringing together details that felt personal to our style, relationship, and families and transforming them into our dream space. We’ve gotten feedback from so many of our guests commenting on how beautifully she put everything together and how authentic the entire weekend felt to us, which is exactly what we’d hoped for. Logistically, the weekend ran smoothly and was timed so efficiently that we felt like we could truly enjoy every minute of it. If anything went wrong throughout the day, we were oblivious to it, with Sarah and her lovely team handling everything calmly. They brought a joyful energy to the day and we felt completely taken care of from the minute we arrived at the venue through the end of the weekend. Every team member & vendor that Sarah brought in was excellent - professional, collaborative with each other, and delivered an outstanding product. These are all people we would want to work with again. We have nothing but wonderful memories of the year-long planning process with Sarah and would recommend her to anyone!

5 stars is not a high enough rating to describe how incredible it is to have worked with Sarah and her team. She curated every moment with so much attention to detail that perfectly reflect my husband and me.

From the beginning she was a there to help learn about what makes us what to help define our design. She was able to provide amazing recommendations for vendors and more that fit our needs. She listened and incorporated all our ideas and eliminated any concerns we had. Every crazy idea that I brought Sarah didn't bat an eye. We truly don’t know how we could have the destination we did without Sarah by our sides.

Sarah is detailed, professional, talented, honest and truly a blessing. There aren’t enough words available to explain how grateful we were to have found Sarah and now call her a forever friend. No matter the location, we highly recommend Sarah for all your event planning DREAMS!

I truly don’t have the words to fully capture my gratitude for Sarah and her incredible team. As someone who is a perfectionist and struggles to relinquish control, I never imagined I’d be able to fully trust anyone to bring my wedding vision to life, until I met Sarah. From the moment we began working together, she made me feel seen, heard, and at ease. She is, without a doubt, the most beautiful soul—kind, genuine, and so supportive, while also being an absolute powerhouse of a planner. There were moments when the stress felt overwhelming, but Sarah was always there as my rock, handling every challenge with grace, precision, and a smile. Her warmth and calmness are truly unmatched, and I am tearing up as I write this, trying to express just how grateful I am to have had her by my side.

Her attention to detail is out of this world. When my candy bar vendor canceled, Sarah didn’t just solve the problem—she became the solution, crafting a beautiful candy bar that my guests raved about. She goes above and beyond in every single way, incorporating the latest trends and the most thoughtful touches to make your wedding feel uniquely you. Her adaptability and creativity transform any space into something magical, and her deep network of top-tier vendors ensures that you’re working with the absolute best.

Sarah and her team are simply unparalleled. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will pour her heart into your special day while ensuring it’s executed flawlessly, look no further. Sarah is truly an angel, and I am so grateful to call her a forever friend. Thank you, Sarah, for turning my dream wedding into a reality and for being the light I needed throughout this incredible journey.

As a professional wedding photographer, I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah from Sarah Brehant Events for her planning & design services. From start to finish, Sarah's expertise and attention to detail is seamless throughout the wedding day, without a detail overlooked.

Sarah has exceptional organizational skills. She works with the whole vendor team throughout the planning & design process, ensuring everyone feels confident and prepared going into the wedding day.

What truly sets Sarah apart is their remarkable design aesthetic. She can transform any space into a breathtakingly beautiful wedding venue, just like an artist would transform a blank canvas. Each element, from the decor to the floral arrangements, to even the napkins & place cards, perfectly reflects the couple’s vision and personality. Whenever I walk into a complete design on the wedding day, I am floored by the transformation.

Sarah's calm demeanor and problem-solving skills truly make her a joy to work with. I know having her at the helm, the day will run smoothly & it will be fun too!

I can enthusiastically recommend Sarah & her team to any couple seeking an exceptional, white glove wedding planning and design experience.

Working with a planner is easily one of the best decisions a couple could make, and having Sarah as that planner is the epitome of a no-brainer. Sarah and her team are professional, detail-oriented, kind, creative, and genuine. As a wedding photographer I was so impressed with the entire teams' composure all day, and for the fact that not only were we on-time, but we were ahead of schedule. From your initial meeting to your final hug on the wedding night you will feel so elated with your choice to hire SBE. And as a vendor, you'll want to work with her again and again and again! What I appreciated most was her coordination in making sure I got all the detail photos I needed, she assisted in clearing the reception space for a wide shot and went around for final touches before tablescapes were photographed. As a photographer who loves the details, this was a huge help. So, let this be yet another rave review and your sign to go ahead and book with Sarah for your gorgeous wedding!
