"The first time we met Samantha we felt like she was someone we wanted to hire for our wedding. She was responsive to our questions, whether it was phone or email. She was always willing to meet with us during the planning process. We knew in general what we wanted (a brief ceremony in the same venue as the reception, food stations instead of a sit-down dinner, etc.), but we didn’t have the details of the day thought out. She was great in walking us through the options and talking through the details. Also, in terms of the decorations, she was the reason it looked as beautiful as it did. We are not artistic or creative people and her vision of the tables, lighting, etc. turned out to be ‘stunning’, which was a term I heard used by more than one guest. We cannot say enough about how beautiful and tasteful the venue looked on that night." -- Lisa, Bride, November 2007 

“Again, a HUGE thank you for everything!! You did a wonderful job. I especially appreciated your organization and attention to detail. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding and are absolutely thrilled with how the day went.” 
-- Jennifer, Bride, April 2007

"You were such a joy to work with. I will do everything I can to send work your way! You have a great personality and you are perfect for this line of work. You helped turn our dream day into reality. We truly appreciate your time and your dedication to make this possible." -- Michelle, Bride, June 2007 

"You were wonderful to work with and I felt that nothing was left undone - you truly went above and beyond."  -- Shannon, Bride, October 2006

"I wish I would have hired wedding coordinators earlier. I thought I could plan a wedding and go to school at the same time, and in retrospect I caused myself plenty of undue stress. I think that having a wedding coordinator upfront could have helped me avoid some of the pitfalls I made, like not having a realistic grasp of what certain vendors would cost and not knowing certain customs such as how to word invitations."  -- Sara, Bride, November 2006

"That was the best money I spent! Knowing you were there to take care of all the last-minute details enabled me to truly enjoy the ceremony and reception. The arrangements you did on the tables were exactly as I had envisioned, and I loved your idea of strewing petals on the brick walkway. As Corie's sister told me, it looked magical as Corie walked down the aisle with her father. It was also so nice to have everything packed up and put in the car while I was able to enjoy the last few minutes of the reception. You were so helpful and professional, making the whole process a totally stress-free experience." 
-- Vickie, Mother of the Bride, June 2006

"During the planning process, Sam guided us through options, negotiated vendor contracts, and maneuvered through swarms of details so that we didn't have to. That weekend, my family members commented how easy and enjoyable the festivities were (thanks mostly to the Emma Grace team). Some said it was the first wedding that they thoroughly enjoyed because it was planned with the guests in mind. I really can't thank Samantha enough for the guidance and help!"
-- Allison, Bride, May 2006

"I want to especially thank you for everything you did for me over the past year. It has been so wonderful and fun and much of that was because of you! You were my rock and my friend and I couldn't have done it without you."
-- Jennifer, Bride, October 2005

"Samantha was constantly coming up with creative and unique ways to do everything I wanted and more, while still sticking to my budget. Her genuine care and concern for my wedding showed through in everything she did. She thought of everything, and handled the event with a professionalism that made the planning process go smoothly from the moment we set the date to the day we tied the knot." 
-- Kasey, Bride, October 2004
