We truly cannot say enough amazing things about the Sugarplum & Co. team. If you're looking for a…read morewedding coordinator or planner, we highly, highly recommend working with this team! We had been engaged for over a year before we really started planning and honestly had no idea where to begin. We had all the basic questions -- How do you set a realistic budget? What do things actually cost? Is the wedding we're envisioning even feasible? We spoke with several planners, and Abby immediately stood out. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly helpful, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us. Even before we officially started working together, there were so many green flags. Choosing Abby and her team was a complete no-brainer. We planned our wedding in under a year, and Abby, Amanda, Kat, and the entire Sugarplum & Co. team were incredible every step of the way. They gave us the tools, resources, guidance, confidence, and reassurance we needed to bring our vision to life. You may know what you want your wedding to look and feel like, but having experts by your side who know what works, what's realistic, and how to bring it all together is invaluable. Their expertise also goes far beyond the creative side of planning. From budgets and vendors to reviewing contracts, asking the right questions, and making sure we were setting ourselves up for success, they were an incredible resource. There are so many things you simply don't know to look for when you've never planned a wedding before, and we always felt like we were in such good hands. Most importantly, they genuinely care. They helped guide us through decisions big and small while always making sure the wedding felt like us. We had so much fun working with them -- from the planning calls and walkthroughs to mock-ups and the wedding weekend itself. With their help, we were able to truly enjoy the process and ultimately bring such a special weekend to life. The Sugarplum & Co. team is knowledgeable, talented, smart, savvy, and genuinely some of the sweetest people to work with. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you, Abby, Amanda, Kat, and the entire Sugarplum & Co. team, for helping us create such an incredible and unforgettable wedding weekend. We are forever grateful! xo

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

Also, she was great about working around our budget to deliver everything we asked for. We reached out to Erika after meeting with several florist, she immediately replied to our inquiry and sent over a proposal with all the items we asked for and stayed within our budget. We met with her twice, during our first appointment she went over all the flowers for the bouquet, arrangements and boutonnieres. She showed us pictures of he flowers we selected and gave recommendations and her expertise advice. On our second appointment she provided a sample of the arrangements and finalized details. She kept me updated through the process and was super easy to get a hold of her via email and text. The day of the wedding she was on time had the bride's bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, and all of the boutonnieres and pinned corsages ready. All of the arrangements were ready on time and we were able to start our ceremony and reception accordingly. The flowers were intact, looked beautiful and stayed alive the whole day. Erika is truly a pleasure to work with, she really cares about her work and loves what she does! She delivered exceptional and beautiful arrangements.

Best of all, she was willing to work with our budget for florals! I was a bride on a tight budget and I just needed "normal" flowers that look nice. I wasn't looking for exotic varieties of flowers at all, and so many other florists I contacted really insisted on using more "high end" flowers. Erika was able to pull together beautiful arrangements that looked just as nice as the more expensive arrangements I saw at other florists. I'm so glad we found her. During the initial appointment, Erika made sure to get all the details of what I was looking for and provided a beautiful sample floral centerpiece. She gave a lot of good input and suggestions for which flowers (within my budget) would go well with the look I would like to achieve. She's also super easy to contact - email and text! During the morning of my wedding day, she was kind enough to have my bride's bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, and all of the boutonnieres and pinned corsages delivered to my house in the morning because we had traditional ceremonies in the morning before heading off the the venue in the evening. Needless to say, all the flowers stayed beautiful for me to walk down the aisle, and even lasted for over a week! I had forgotten to request a toss bouquet, and Erika was sweet enough to gather up "extra" flowers to tie something together for me. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, artistry, and expertise.

Here's the thing: either you save your money and DON'T get a coordinator or you spend the money and…read moremake sure you get a REALLY GOOD coordinator. That's what I tell all my friends now because having Cindy on our big day was one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding! We booked Cindy for flowers and reception day-of coordination services and when I tell you I could actually turn off my brain as a bride, I really did. I did not once check the time. Cindy followed through and delivered what she promised us--that we could relax and be in the moment and leave all the logistics and cueing to her. After experiencing a really poor coordination service for my ceremony, trust me when I say that this service alone is 100% WORTH IT. Beyond that, Cindy worked beautifully with my photographer team and the kitchen staff. I know that if things are running smoothly and I don't notice the errors, it means she's doing her job. SOMEONE is back there managing all the craziness lol. I say this because during my ceremony with another coordinator, I noticed ALL the problems.... Moreover, when I got my photos taken and Cindy was present, she made sure my hair and dress were always photo-ready. I love her attention to detail and ensuring the bride looks good at all times. Cindy's attention to detail and strong organization skills were evident throughout our preparation 2 months out and in the flowers and reception decor. Everything came together so beautifully and the reception looked straight out of Pinterest. I couldn't believe that my own wedding looked like what I see online. Though we didn't book Cindy for our ceremony (our venue came with one), she did drop by at the end of the ceremony just to transfer the flowers to the reception, and even then, one thing stood out to me--I was getting my group photo taken and Cindy quickly went up to fix my dress that I knew wasn't laying down properly. It is exactly the little things like this that I seek from a coordinator--to be looked out for!! All in all, my husband and I both felt entirely taken care of during our reception. Our only regret is not having her for our ceremony also. Selfishly, I wished that Cindy charges by the hour and not by separate venues so that I could've had her for both ceremony and reception since my reception itself was pretty short. Thank you Cindy!!!!

From the very beginning, Cindy was organized, calming, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but Cindy's guidance, attention to detail, and incredible work ethic made the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. She was always quick to answer questions, offer thoughtful advice, and help us navigate every decision with confidence. On the wedding day itself, Cindy was an absolute rock star. Knowing she was there overseeing everything allowed us to fully relax, be present, and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and everything flowed so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. Our wedding was absolutely stunning. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were and how impressed they were with every detail of the day. I loved being able to tell them that our amazing wedding planner was also responsible for all of the gorgeous florals. The flowers exceeded anything I could have imagined and brought our vision to life perfectly. Every arrangement was elegant, timeless, and beautifully designed. One of my favorite details from the entire day was my bouquet. It was absolutely beautiful, and even now I still find myself looking at it and smiling. It perfectly captured everything I had hoped for and is such a special reminder of our wedding day. Beyond her incredible talent, Cindy is simply a wonderful person. She truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel supported throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is organized, talented, kind, and genuinely passionate about creating beautiful weddings, Cindy is the absolute best!

While we were based a bit further away from her and her team, distance never felt like a hindrance throughout the planning process. We always felt cared for and seen with our vision for our wedding day. From her organization to her demeanor, Vidhi's calm, considerate and patient presence made us feel so comfortable in sharing our thoughts, goals, and visions for each and every detail. Even when neither of us had a clear vision for certain aspects, Vidhi carefully guided us through our thought processes to perfectly execute more than what we could have dreamed of having. For a traditional South Indian wedding, navigating the intricate nuances and details for the big day takes special care. With a venue-only property as well, there was an additional layer of organization and planning that needed to be done in order for the wedding day to seamlessly come together. From the set-up to operational flow to take down, Vidhi and her team carefully thought of everything to ensure that each and every detail was meticulously thought about and cared for, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better experience on our wedding day! Each and every vendor was an absolute pleasure to work with! Whether it came from the preferred vendors list or from elsewhere, Vidhi ensured that everyone worked seamlessly together throughout the wedding weekend. From negotiating to designing each and every detail, we absolutely fell in love with the care and love in each moment. The thought and intention with each and every detail was so important to us and not only did Vidhi and her team deliver, but it felt so effortlessly us in the most beautiful way. Working with Vidhi and the Marigold Company has been an absolute pleasure! We will miss our regular communications with her and meeting her throughout our planning journey but will forever cherish the memories and of course keep in touch! We could not recommend them enough!

She made sure everything stayed on schedule and kept all of our vendors and both venues on the same page. She handled everything so smoothly and was always one step ahead.

Stephanie was by our sides the whole day - running around for setup, putting boutonnieres on, communicating with the DJ, letting us know exactly when to walk out for the ceremony and grand entrance, and being a personal bodyguard for us so we could eat dinner without guest distractions. She anticipated what we needed to do and what we wanted before we even thought about it. It felt like having a highly organized friend who was helping with your wedding. She is very easy-going, organized, and funny. She made sure to keep us on track and run us through all of our family photos and table photos as quickly as possible, but also let us film our Tiktoks in-between the important stuff. We also had Sam help out for the first half of the day and she was also very helpful keeping us hydrated, carrying my wife's dress around, and bringing us cocktail hour food. We found Stephanie through referrals from my wife's coworkers and she also was on the preferred vendor list for the Grand Gimeno. One of those coworkers said "I would get married again just to have Stephanie help me plan (and coordinate) my wedding." We were sold! We reached out about 9-10 months before our set wedding date and inquired about day-of-coordinator services. Stephanie was very personable from the start and organized, sending us a lot of the spreadsheets/worksheets after we signed the initial contract. Before the month-of prep meeting, we just sent her info of all of our vendors as we booked them and emailed back-and-forth. Once the month-of started, Stephanie started ramping up - she created our timeline and reached out to all of our vendors. She walked through exactly what we needed to do leading up to the big day and she was very communicative/available. We met Stephanie in-person for the first time during our 1-hour rehearsal slot at the venue during the week of the wedding. She was very friendly, talkative, but also detail-oriented and professional. Her timeline and guest seating chart templates were very helpful and I am glad she made us complete them early. I'm sure she did other behind-the-scenes work to alleviate some of our tasks and for that I am very thankful! We really enjoyed working with Stephanie and highly recommend her to any other couples getting married in the area!!
