Sarah and her team are absolutely incredible! We were fortunate enough to work with her for both our wedding and our rehearsal dinner welcome party. She had incredible vendor recommendations, knew how to help us represent both of our styles into each event and created the most gorgeous florals I have ever seen. Sarah is so genuinely passionate about her art, and it is truly an art, and knows how to exceed your vision from day one.

When we first met with Sarah, I told her that I wanted our reception to be a party while still maintaining classical elements in design. Sarah's suggestions, from tent draping to the band selection were perfectly in line with the atmosphere that we wanted to create for our big day. With her knowledge and know-how, we were able to create a once in a lifetime experience. We have heard from numerous guests that our wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. I have no doubt that all of the planning on Sarah's end contributed to this. I had full confidence in Sarah and her team.

"Where to begin? Sarah Oakland was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made when it came to wedding planning. We were so impressed with her steadiness and organization (in a pandemic, no less!) and it allowed us to relax more and enjoy the process and anticipation of marriage. In particular, her creative eye and floral designs were remarkable. To find a wedding planner who can ALSO provide stunning florals -- was such a gift + financial savings. Truly don't think twice and hire Sarah. You'll love her services and find yourself wanting to be friends with her too."

"I will start by saying I had two daughters marry within four months and only 5 months to plan for each. Sarah was a lifesaver. She was lovely to work with, paid attention to detail and available 24/7. She kept us on task and budget. The second wedding was held in a different state with a planner familiar with the fiancé’s family. Both daughters got the wedding of their dreams, but the glaring difference was Sarah never forgot it was the bride she was working with.

"Sarah Oakland was such a dream to work with! We went from plan A to plan F by the end of it (COVID-19 lolz), and Sarah stood by my side through all of the emails, reschedules, and refunds. She was so thoughtful with the florals and details in our space. I trusted her creativity from the beginning and it made for such a beautiful event. She's a great communicator and will keep you any of your loved ones (for me, my mom wanted to be involved the whole way) in the know and will reach out with updates and to-do items throughout the whole process. I could not have asked for a better person to plan our day with."

JAYA, Bride
"Because of Sarah, I had the wedding of my dreams. Her warm heart and sweet demeanor helped the process of planning a wedding become a joyful, stress-free experience. She listened to me and my husband patiently so that she could make our vision for our once in a lifetime day a reality. She is a tour de force of talent, vision, and experience. She truly values the people she serves, and was always there for me if I needed to ask or talk about something along the way. Having her plan my wedding was one of the easiest and smartest decisions I have ever made. I truly cannot recommend this amazing woman enough. Our day was perfect thanks to her hard work and expertise.

"If you are planning a wedding you would be crazy not to use Sarah! To say she was amazing, doesn’t do her justice. She helped make our special day literally PERFECT. When I walked in the door I knew it was exactly what my bride had envisioned!

"Sarah is the BEST! I had a million questions and she helped me with all of them! She was so helpful in this whole process and helped our vision of this day come to life! We would have been lost without her! And our installation was to die for! Thank you, Sarah!

"If you are looking for a wedding planner, this is who you want to use!! Every single detail about working with Sarah was hands down WAY more than I ever could have dreamed! She planned our entire elopement ceremony in a month’s notice and kept it totally stress-free and fun. Throughout the entire process of working with Sarah, it felt like working with a best friend, not just a wedding planner. I have never felt so heard and understood. Sarah completely captured our entire vision for our special day, down to even the tiniest little detail. I can’t recommend her enough!!"
