“I had no idea when I started planning my wedding how much help, and what a relief it would be to have someone be there to bounce ideas off of, help me know what I should be working on when, and even go to appointments with me as another set of eyes and ears.  With my family being out of town, it was nice to have that help right here.  And not just anyone - SARA O'SHEA - who somehow was able to anticipate many of my needs, stay calm when I was maybe not as calm as I would have liked, and handle things with grace if they did not go exactly as planned.  It meant so much to me to know that someone was handling the details on the day of my event, and I could just relax and enjoy one of the most important days of my life.  Furthermore, my FAMILY could relax and enjoy it, too, and not have to worry about doing a lot of extra tasks.  The service Sara offered was invaluable, and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“I have to be honest, when my fiancé told me that she had hired a “wedding planner,” I had my doubts.  After all, I’m a guy and I figured, “how hard can it be?”  Not to mention, I had always heard that wedding planners were only good in big cities and at the biggest budget, most extravagant weddings.  However, several months into the planning process, my fiancé was constantly telling me just how great it was to have Sara there helping with some of the decisions and making sure nothing was forgotten.  I never really got to see for myself until the big day finally came around and it is an understatement to say that Sara was completely and totally prepared for everything, including the unexpected!  From letting all of our guests know that the pastor was going to surprisingly be 45 minutes late to the ceremony as they sat in a non-air-conditioned cathedral (all the while keeping my fiancé calm about the ordeal) to getting the tux shop to bring me a new jacket because the one they altered was two inches too short in the sleeve.  Sara was worth every penny of her very modest fee… I would recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding.   Each of the hundreds of details that I never even realized existed will be handled with the same care as if it were her own wedding.  She truly delivers a relaxed, stress-free, joyful day that you won’t forget!!”

“I want to thank you so very much for all you did for the planning, preparation and execution of Rachel's wedding.  You are a wonderful person to work with in all aspects of the wedding process.  You were prepared at each meeting.  You took wonderful notes and had great input into the planning of everything.  It is so nice to have someone who can think ahead of you and know the timing of everything so well, so that nothing is overlooked.  Then, of course, we could not have done this without your presence on the day of the wedding.  You were going from place to place checking on things so that no one had any worries about the fact that everything was being taken care of.  We could enjoy the day and not worry about the details.  You had a very calming effect on the bride and all of the family.  I really cannot tell you how very much we appreciated everything.  Wow!!  You are just the best!!  I really don't know how to say thank you!!  You are simply an angel!”
– Connie, Aunt of the Bride

“I truly thank you and again appreciate your professional conduct in the ceremony and all the details. I enjoyed meeting and working with you and your staff. Best of everything. May our Lord bless and watch over you.”
-Rev. David Brown, “Your Special Day, In a Special Way”

"We cannot thank you enough for all that you did to make our wedding day so wonderful. I don’t know how I would have gotten through the planning and the wedding day nerves without your services. And we all know my mom would have lost her mind without your calming presence and constant reassurance. Of course we talked about how amazingly helpful you were throughout the planning months, but it was after the wedding in particular when we all looked at each other and wondered how we would have pulled off such a perfect day without you. What you do truly makes a difference in the outcome of the event. You are professional and patient, but still personable and understanding. You were easy to talk to, accessible, organized, and you tolerated our craziness very lovingly! Your attention to detail and the way you took care of all the “little things” we didn’t even think of truly impressed us. We sincerely respect and we are grateful for your commitment to us and our special occasion. You have an amazing business and we will definitely recommend So Chic to our friends and family and we wish you the best of luck in the future.
Much love, Brad & Sarah Jarrard"
