Testimonials

“Samantha and her team are absolutely amazing. If it were not for them and their constant help before and during my wedding, it would not have been half as wonderful.

I recommend Samantha's services to anyone with good taste and high expectations!”

“From the moment that I contacted Samantha, the remainder of my wedding planning process was seamless!

With only 6 months to go until the big day, I was struggling with putting things together.
Samantha took the time to meet with us, figure out exactly what we still needed to do and put us in a timeline so that we did not miss anything.
She put us in contact with our Florist, Invitation printer, lighting vendor and even took the time to piece together our favors!
I will never forget the moment when we walked in our reception room and saw all of Samantha's hard work put together. Other then the day itself, it was one of the best moments of my life!

Looking back on our wedding day, I cannot imagine what our wedding day would have been without Samantha!

She will always have a special place our hearts!”

“Samantha was a great pleasure to meet and work with. She made our wedding day seamless and fantastic.

My vision for the reception was very specific and she brought it to life for me.

I would recommend her again and again!”

“I Love her!!! She made my day as beautiful as I had visioned, she brought to life my ideas so perfectly.
Samantha was very energetic, detail oriented and was on top of things, her being that way was the reason for me to hire her...

I needed someone like me and someone who would execute even the smallest detail or else I knew I would be stressing the whole day.

She knew exactly how to calm me down and knew exactly what I wanted and visioned for my day to be.
She even design my centerpieces which my guests raved so much about.”

“From the first moment we met with Samantha, her approach was filled with integrity, honesty and professionalism. We found that we were going over our agreed-upon budget.

Samantha was able to get us back down to the number we had in mind and even found a florist who could create our bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces for only $300.

She definitely made our wedding day vision become a reality. We asked for was simplicity with elegance and that’s exactly what we received.

Not only did Samantha get us the best possible deals, she also managed to keep me stress free during the whole planning process.

From the beautiful arrangements of black magic roses to a sparkling candlelit reception, everything was more than what I dreamed of.

My initial estimate was $30,000. My fiancé, at that time, told me not only was I crazy, there would be no way we could be able to afford such an event.
After many long talks and convincing, I came to terms to cut my wedding budget in half. So I pulled myself together and started searching for a wedding planner that would fit my goals within our means.

That’s where Samantha and I crossed paths.
On our wedding day, I felt so proud and relaxed because I knew Samantha would do everything possible to make our day completely memorable.
Every time we look at our wedding pictures, we are amazed as to how we were able to pull it off and share a beautiful day with our friends and family.”

“Samantha worked closely with my Mom and I to put together an amazing wedding. She listened to all of our ideas and made us laugh at the crazy ideas while adding her own touch to the things we wanted the most.

She introduced us to a number of great vendors who also made my wedding way more amazing that I thought could happen.

Samantha saved me a ton of money. When I showed her my list of must haves, she helped me start to budget everything and see where my money was well spent or wasted.

There was so much stuff from my friends' wedding that we skipped yet we didn't miss a thing. We even saved enough by working with Samantha to get a better hotel for our honeymoon.

I was a pretty low stress bride, but Samantha and her team were so good to me as my wedding approached. By tracking our schedule, I didn't get crazy about what would be done by when.

She was readily available to me by phone and calmed my one "outbreak" by lending a shoulder.

I don't know how anyone plans something as stressful as a wedding without a planner.

I never could have thought through every last detail.
I would have spent my wedding running the event rather than enjoying things as the guest of honor.”

“While I was leary to hire any planner, I decided to interview several in NY and NJ. When my finace and met with Samantha, her knowledge along with a very genuine personality sold us almost immediately.
We had some very original requests that not many would understand. She never made judgement or asked or to reconsider our ideas. I have to say the only thing about Samantha is that she is VERY busy and has several things going on besides planning. Sometimes she may not get back to you right away, but she does call.

That was enough for us. Our best advice to anyone that uses her, you have to be laid back and trust she will get the job done. Our wedding was beyond our expectations.

What we liked most about Samantha is her ability to help us cut back in areas to afford items that were a better fit. We had a decent budget, but never spent our maximum.

She had an amazing check list of things that we would have completely blown off.

Samantha and her team addressed our needs when we asked them to do so. I am a very low key laid back person so I did not not have any stress at all. However, I am sure if I did, she was always there with a chat to explain things in better detail.
She was able to create our vision. The most important goal was for our guests to walk away happy.

The venue she choose at the Pleasantdale Chateau was absolutely amazing, Cindy The Floral Gallery made our room so lovely, DJ Mike Navarez was accomodating and great, lighting with Visions lighting created an unbelivable ambiance, Stephen Taylor Photography was excellent and whatever else she suggested, was again A+.

All I can say is you would be lucky to have Samantha on your side. She is a gem!”

“Love them!!!! Very nice office!!! Everyone Samantha had working with us was extremely professional.

I would DEFINITELY recommend them for any occasion!”

“Samantha and her team are absolutely amazing. If it were not for them and their constant help before and during my wedding, it would not have been half as wonderful.

I recommend Samantha's services to anyone with good taste and high expectations!”

“Samantha and team, thanks for all your hard work, help, thoughts, support over the last week/year! The wedding was awesome!! We had SO much fun!

The phone calls/txts/e-mails have not stopped...everyone is telling us it was the best wedding...everyone really enjoyed themselves. We really soaked it up, the day went by fast but we enjoyed every minute. Our only regret is that we wish we had more quality time to chat with people (but there just isn't enough time in the day) and I REALLY wish I took pictures with my own camera (Michael & I both had our cameras). But the day is too crazy to think about it at the time. We can't wait to get the pictures from the photographer. (The only thing is the photographer had us do so many kissing pictures that I had no lipstick left on during our formal pictures b/c I left my lipstick in the limo..oh well.)

Again, I can't thank you enough for EVERYTHING over that last year...all the plans, e-mails, phone calls, meetings, etc... our wedding was exactly how we wanted it. And we couldn't be happier. You threw a great party! Our band was unbelievable too!”

“Samantha was a great pleasure to meet and work with. She made our wedding day seamless and fantastic. My vision for the reception was very specific and she brought it to life for me. I would recommend her again and again!”

“Hi Samantha,

We fully intend to send you a proper thank you note shortly - I took the next few days off just to reflect and spend some quality time on my thank you cards :), but wanted to send you an email as soon as I could to just say THANK YOU. We had a blast yesterday and have already started to get the emails and phone calls, on top of the compliments guests shared with us last night about how great the day was. We really could not have pulled it off without your help and guidance.

The decor was everything we wanted and dreamed of, the rehearsal dinner, the gift bags, the grooms cake...I won't attempt to name them all, but I really can't think of anything that we would have changed. Please also extend my thanks to the girls - Chavonne and Dana for their support. They were both so friendly and sweet! Again, thank you for EVERYTHING!!”

“Samantha,

I wanted to tell you that my wedding was everything I could ask for and more! I was so happy and everything was so beautiful.
