“From the very first meeting, Sarah made myself feel so supported, understood, and excited about the wedding planning process. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but she truly took that weight off our shoulders. She listened to every detail of our vision, offered thoughtful guidance when we needed it, and brought so much creativity and professionalism to the table. On our wedding day, everything flowed so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and soak in every single moment — something we will always be grateful for. Behind the scenes, she was making sure every vendor, timeline, and detail came together flawlessly, yet she did it all with such calmness and grace that we never once felt stressed. What really stood out was her genuine care — not just for the event itself, but for us as a couple. She celebrated with us, encouraged us, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was not only beautiful but also truly ours. We are forever thankful for her dedication and heart. Because of her, we had the wedding of our dreams, and we will never stop recommending her to anyone searching for a planner who is not only amazing at what she does, but also an incredible person to have by your side through it all!!! Thank you Sarah!!!”

What People Are Saying:
“To put it simply, our wedding day would not have been possible without Sarah’s hard work. And to not put it simply, Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with from the very first message we sent her through our wedding day, and in every step in between. From the start, Sarah brought a calming energy and a clear sense of confidence and professionalism that immediately put us at ease. Her expertise truly shines through in everything she does, from her thoughtful communication and attention to detail to her proactive problem-solving and ability to navigate every twist and turn that comes with planning a wedding. Sarah was always one step ahead, helping us clarify our vision and execute it in a way that felt authentic and true to us. She was consistently reliable, supportive, and fully present, which meant the world to us as we navigated this process. We never once had to question whether we were in good hands; we knew we were. She seamlessly connected with all our vendors, managed timelines, double-checked the details we hadn’t even thought of, and ensured the entire day flowed beautifully. Her presence allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day without stress, knowing everything was taken care of. If we could go back and do it all again, the only thing we’d change would be finding Sarah sooner. She lifted a weight we didn’t even realize we were carrying and made it all look effortless. We truly can’t imagine our wedding without her, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side. Thank you for helping make our day more than we ever dreamed of and for being such a kind, talented, and trustworthy guide through the whole process. You are a gift!”

“We cannot say enough great things about working with Sarah as our wedding planner and coordinator. From our very first meeting, she understood our vision and offered invaluable recommendations and guidance throughout our wedding planning process. As a type A, detail oriented person who was unfamiliar with Portland and wanted to be able to enjoy my own wedding day, I knew I would need someone to help me out, and Sarah was the perfect match to help me bring our wedding to life. Because Portland was a destination wedding for us, we relied on her heavily for recommendations of local vendors, and she nailed it with every single one. She also graciously let us ship decor and accessories to her home that she then stored for us until our wedding day. From our first visit to Portland, Sarah bent over backwards for us: she gave us a tour of Portland when we were in town for the first time following our venue site visit, sourced welcome bags at the local outlet mall, met us at our hotel to exchange decor and picked up and dropped off rentals for us in order to give us more free time during our wedding week. She made sure our wedding week was stress free, and let nothing slip through the cracks. We worked together closely to craft the perfect timeline, and then Sarah handled all of the confirmations and coordination of the vendors in the final lead up to the wedding, making sure they were confirmed and knew where to be and when, since our wedding and reception took place at two separate venues. While Petal & Pine is still a fairly new solo venture for Sarah, she has over 10 years of experience in the wedding industry, and it showed. Every single one of our vendors had nothing but great things to say about working with Sarah in the lead up to, and on the day of the wedding. From the vendors who have worked with her over and over again praising her as one of the best, to some of our vendor’s first time working with her, everyone was raving about how amazing Sarah was, and we wholeheartedly agree. We are so lucky that we found Sarah, and we could not recommend her enough! She was like our wedding fairy godmother- pulling together all the details and giving everything a dash of magic to create the most perfect day. I’d plan another wedding just to work with her again!”

“I don’t even know where to begin. I felt as though we hit the jackpot when we hired Sarah for day of coordinating for our wedding. From the jump she ensured that the planning process was on track and sent me reminders during the months leading up to the big day. When it came to the wedding day, I had not a single worry. Sarah’s calm demeanor and confidence convinced me that she had everything under control - and she sure did! Our entire day was seamless. Not a single issue. When the night came to an end, Sarah had already handled the entire breakdown of decor leaving us with nothing to take care of but pack our cars up. We are still raving about her every time we talk about our wedding- even our families can’t even get over how great she was! Her years of experience is evident. Couldn’t recommend her more. If you’re looking for event planning of any kind - Sarah’s the answer!”
