Without a Hitch made our wedding day such a beautiful success! Our wedding planning was plagued with constantly changing COVID regulations and I was full of anxiety about how our big day would go. Allison and Sarah could not have been more comforting and proactive. Over email, phone, and video call, they put my mind at ease and I felt so prepared the day of my wedding, no matter what restrictions were in place. Allison could not have done a better job the day of. She built a great rapport with my family, bridal party, and the venue's event manager to ensure the day ran smoothly. She knew the schedule and set up like the back of her hand. When the timing of certain day-of activities changed last minute, she made sure to let me know of the changes and the night went on without issue. If it were not for COVID and my anxieties around how it would affect our wedding I likely would not have looked for an outside coordinator- our venue did provide one that began to work closely with us (and Allison) in the month or so before the wedding and I truly believe she would have done a comparable job in the day-of execution. But it's the long term commitment to the planning process that makes Without a Hitch special. And while our venue did not host many weddings during COVID, Without a Hitch planned so many, and had the experience and suggestions that made the wedding feel as normal as it possibly could. For any of my friends planning weddings at a less conventional venue or just want more support, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Without a Hitch, and more specifically Allison! read more

Think you don't need a coordinator? Think again. As an event planner bride myself, I knew I had most of the planning covered but needed support leading up to and on the big day. Sarah and her team are there every step of the way, providing advice, guidance, support, and everything you could possibly need. We are so grateful we could rely on Amy to support our special day. It would not have gone nearly as smoothly without her professionalism, organization, and precision. I would turn to Without a Hitch for any major event and know I can trust them to care about the details as much as I do. read more

We had such a great experience working with Without A Hitch and especially Jessica. She was patient, attentive to our needs and anticipated what needed to happen next. Everyone kept remarking on my calmness during this weekend and it was in large part to Without A Hitch and Jessica. I really enjoyed the festivities and felt every detail was under control. We are so pleased we hired Without A Hitch and would highly recommend to all! read more

Molly & Sarah at the Without A Hitch team were so wonderful to work with. I called Sarah in a panic 1 month out from my wedding thinking I could do it all on my own. After the first initial kickoff call Sarah and Molly immediately took a weight off my shoulders. The timeline they put together is so thorough and detailed it eased my anxious brain and made me confident everything would go to plan. On the day of my wedding I truly was hands off and trusted Molly to execute my vision. It exceeded my expectations and brought me to tears. I'm forever grateful to the Without A Hitch team for jumping in to be my partner and get me to the finish line. I highly recommend hiring them for you day of planning, you won't regret it! read more

We worked with Tracey Sharp Rezendes, and she was a phenomenal powerhouse. There was no way that our very DIY wedding would have gone smoothly without her making sure all the many moving parts came together seamlessly. She worked miracles with the coordination of the (tight!) space, vendors, and the guests. Tracey was warm and friendly the whole time, even while breaking down furniture to transition spaces. We felt completely supported, understood, and heard while she helped to make the wedding unfold the way we hoped it would. Tracey was able to translate our dreams and plans into something real, and we had so many people coming up to us telling us how much fun they had, and love they felt in the room. Tracey was able to not only help us with the logistics of the evening, but also the core emotions we wanted our guests to feel. That's a rare and wonderful skill, and we were very lucky to have been able to work with her. read more

Tracey was the day of coordinator for our backyard wedding last month, and we're so glad we decided to work with her and Without a Hitch! She was our most responsive vendor, often replying to our emails leading up to the wedding within minutes. Before our wedding day, she put together a detailed timeline for us, answered random questions that came up, and did a site visit. Of note - they do stick with the contract pretty closely, so it will cost extra to have more meetings/support (which makes sense). On the day of, Tracey took care of everything - organizing all the vendors, pinning my bustle when nobody else could figure it out, making sure we stayed on track, and problem solving on the fly. We weren't even aware of most of what she fixed/dealt with until the next day because she protected us from it. Because of her, we were able to be fully present, relaxed, and have so much fun on our day. (seriously, we had a blast) We initially thought that we wouldn't need a day of coordinator since our wedding was small (about 50 people) and we're pretty organized/punctual people. I'm so glad we changed our minds! Weddings are stressful (especially backyard ones where you're bringing in a lot of vendors), and I can't imagine having to do it without Tracey. In sum - highly recommend Without a Hitch - they're worth it! read more

Hiring Sarah of Without a Hitch was probably the smartest investment we made for our wedding. In starting our planning process, she provided so much useful advice and tips, particularly when picking vendors. On the day-of, she was superb! She kept us calm and cared for, constantly checking-in and informing us of what was coming up next. She allowed us to truly focus on the moment and not worry about tiny details (all questions were directed to her, and we knew they would be handled expertly). She was a delight to work with from start to finish, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I have already suggested her to fellow friends who have gotten engaged and they've also loved working with her!! Once again, of everything we decided for our wedding, hiring Without a Hitch was by far the smartest and best decision we made. read more

Without A Hitch - Sarah was behind the scenes all day and made everything run so smoothly! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

I hired Without a Hitch to help with my wedding planning process and it was the BEST decision I made for the wedding. Ashley and Sarah were extremely helpful in helping my husband and me create and stick to a timeline and helped us work through so many little details that I never would have thought of on my own. On the day of the wedding, Ashley made sure everything flowed seamlessly and provided me comfort and assurance any time I got stressed. A true life saver! Could not recommend them enough and wish I could give them 10 stars! read more

Having gotten engaged right before the pandemic began, we were unsure of where to begin or what the world would look like in a year. We reached out to Sarah about her day of coordination company after seeing how friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with she was. Jillian was our day of coordinator and she was amazing! She was so detail oriented, even down to the minute of sunset. There were so many details that we never would have remembered on our own. The recommendations we got were also incredibly helpful. We ended up booking catering, photography and the DJ from their lists; all of whom were amazing. Jillian kept us on track and gave us tasks to accomplish every month. Walking up the stairs and seeing the finishing touches put together by the team and all of the vendors gave us such a sense of calm on a whirlwind of a day. Throughout the wedding, Jillian checked in and updated us on the timeline to keep everything moving smoothly. Jillian jumped right to help while I struggled with bustling my dress for pictures. She really made sure our wedding was seamless and went off without a hitch. We cannot recommend Without a Hitch enough! read more

My husband and I hired Without a Hitch for our fall wedding at the Whittemore Robbins House. After hearing about the benefits of having a day of wedding coordinator from several newly married friends, we decided that we wanted to make our day as stress-free as possible. We found Without A Hitch on Instagram and noticed they had a HUGE following in the Boston area and had even coordinated weddings at our venue! After speaking with Sarah, we were sure that Without a Hitch would help us feel much more in control of our day. We were able to meet with Sarah and Jess in person, and they provided us with a super detailed timeline of our wedding and numerous practical tips for choosing vendors and general logistics. This meeting made us feel good to know that someone would be available for guidance over the next few months. We appreciated how Jess and Sarah regularly checked in to see how the planning was going and provided us with vendor recommendations (flowers, desserts, table template) when we needed some suggestions. They also asked us questions that we never really thought about until they brought it up (i.e., what time will items be delivered, what is your clean up plan?). We also decided to extend our contract to have Jess help lead the clean-up process (which was completely worth it!). On the day of the wedding, Jess took the lead and helped the day/ night to run smoothly. This allowed my husband and me to be fully present with our guests and enjoy one another. We cannot thank Jess and Sarah enough for all their support! We recommend this service! read more

Mandy helped us out so much throughout the entire process and especially on the day of the event. We could not have had such a great day without her and Without A Hitch because they made it so we didn't have to do anything besides enjoy our big day.  The name really does say it all for them as our entire wedding day went off without a hitch. Would absolutely recommend them if you need assistance! read more

We used Without A Hitch for our wedding day of coordinator, and were extremely impressed with the results. Our process started by meeting with founder Sarah and were ultimately assigned Allison as our coordinator, and we were very pleased with both. Each of our meetings with them in the lead-up to the wedding were easy to schedule and very informative, as they carefully laid out the services they could provide, and helped us schedule each and every hour of our big day. In the lead up to our wedding, they asked all the right questions, had an answer for everything we asked, and thought of suggestions and items that never even crossed our minds. The paperwork and itinerary they provided aided in the planning process immensely helped ease our minds in the weeks and months leading up to the big weekend. Come wedding weekend the level of service was elevated to an even higher level. Allison was willing and able to meet at virtually any time that weekend, helped walk us through the rehearsal, answered any questions we had, and provided dedicated service on wedding day. Her navigation of the wedding day logistics was flawless, and without her, we surely would not have had such a smooth and easy to attend wedding for guests. She was right there with us every step that day, meeting and greeting vendors, helping out the bridal party and families, and wrapping up and cleaning up at the end of the night. Overall we cannot recommend Sarah and Allison at Without A Hitch enough, they were fantastic to work with. read more

We couldn't have done it without Sarah and Mandy at Without a Hitch! My partner and I got engaged in July and decided to get married some time the following summer--I switched jobs, the holidays came and suddenly it was February and we had almost nothing planned beyond a date and a tentative venue. We contacted Sarah in the hopes she might have hope and guidance for us--and boy did she and her team come through. Our first meeting with Sarah and Mandy was invaluable--we went in knowing almost nothing and left with a check-list and action plan for the months ahead. Even though they are "day-of" coordinators, they were absolutely instrumental in helping us plan everything leading up to the big day. They gave us tools and checklists and contacts... you name it. They were always available when we needed them and checked-in regularly to be sure we were on-schedule for getting everything done when it needed to be done (those helpful nudges we needed as to avoid compromising by having to rush things later). When it came to the big day, oh man, let me tell you I'm still in awe at how perfectly everything came together! We were actually able to REALLY enjoy our wedding (and I'm a super control freak, so being able to actually be hands-off that day was something I don't even think I really expected). In the end, we had probably ten+ different vendors all from different places and Mandy pulled everything together like they were an in-house team. I sit here today two weeks after our wedding and am still in awe at how absolutely perfectly everything went. I can't recommend them enough! Do yourself a favor--enjoy your wedding, hire Sarah and her team. read more

Sarah & Jessica were such an awesome team to work with. We actually had plans to wed in June but had to pivot due to COVID to late September. When we made the shift we thought that this was going to our main battle when additional outdoor restrictions cut our guest list in half and our venue canceled on us the day with only a month away. We were devastated but had decided would be best for us would be to have a small gathering in our backyard. This incredible team has been through the wringer with us and were able to give us some helpful advice on what to keep in mind when planning a backyard reception. We are so incredibly grateful to have the Without A Hitch Team on our side as we celebrated our big day! read more

We reached out to Without A Hitch when we found out we would not have as much assistance with our wedding day as we had originally thought. And we are so so grateful for stumbling upon Sarah and this company. She introduced me to Jessica, my day of coordinator aka the literal beacon of light on our wedding day. My day would not have been 1/4 of what it was if it was not for Jessica Pires!! She was the most supportive not just for the day of the wedding, out for the months leading up to it as well. Not only do they schedule multiple calls with you, they create a seamless timeline for your special day, get your vendor contacts, and takes everything OUT OF YOUR HANDS from then on! She was organized, thoughtful, and most importantly she had me and my husband's best interest in mind all night long. I never once had to worry about a lull or a hiccup, those did not exist on our day! We could not have dreamt of a more perfect wedding and we owe all of that to Jessica, Sarah and all of the Without A Hitch support! 10/10 recommend!! read more

I was lucky enough to work with Jessica and Sarah from Without A Hitch for my wedding last month. From the very beginning, they were responsive, easy to work with, full of ideas and recommendations, and incredibly organized. Jessica helped keep me organized and thinking ahead during the planning process and took the reins to make my vision come alive at the wedding. She handled every detail with professionalism and care and really made our wedding day absolutely perfect. I would recommend Without a Hitch in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a seamless and amazing day of coordination for their wedding! read more

We can't say enough good things about Without a Hitch and specifically Jessica Frey. Jessica and team were outstandingly organized, and helpfully kept us on task not just on the wedding day but in the months leading up to the event. We received a lot of helpful planning tools and advice, as well as regular reminders on where we should be in the planning process (we didn't have a wedding planner). Also, worth noting we had our wedding during Somerville's Annual Fluff festival, which meant lots of road closures, weird vendor requests, and overall moving pieces. Jessica didn't miss a beat. It was a relief having her there day of to manage details behind the scenes and troubleshoot, all with a wonderful sense of humor. If there was a problem at wedding, we had no idea. Really, really can't recommend Jessica and Without a Hitch highly enough. A MILLION STARS! read more

I was on the fence with hiring a day of coordinator but decided last minute to go for it as we didn't have a wedding planner, and I wanted to ensure the day went smoothly. After talking with Sarah of Without A Hitch on the phone, about 2 weeks before our wedding, I KNEW she would be a perfect fit. Such a blessing to have been introduced to Sarah's services! She came highly recommended by my caterer who worked with her a week before. Sarah is big picture and small picture at the same time. Right away she asked me all the right questions and went above and beyond the expectations I had. A couple times she surprised me with offering to take on more than I even asked her to. We first met in person the night before our wedding day, about an hour before our rehearsal, which Sarah led. I was appreciative because I didn't need to be the director and the bride to our closest family and friends. Sarah has an easy going way about her that put everyone at ease and we had a fun night. For the ceremony and reception, I wouldn't consider my vision easy- a lot of DIY décor and set up. We rented a space and had to bring in everything. Sarah led the setup team as though I was able to be there myself. She followed my diagrams, timelines and requests and achieved my vision perfectly and flawlessly, with a great attitude. Sarah is extremely genuine as well as a hard worker, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Without A Hitch to any bride or groom. read more

I have to agree with the other reviews here. Sarah was enormously helpful in not only the day-of coordination (which is what we paid her for), but also the weeks leading up to the big day. My fiance's stress level dropped significantly once we brought Sarah into the mix. Sarah seemed to just "get" what my fiance was envisioning for everything, and the day-of would have been a disaster without her! Especially if you're doing a DIY wedding, HIRE SARAH. She's a commando. read more

We planned our wedding from out of state and working with Sarah and Allison was the best decision that we made! The email correspondences and in person meetings prior to the wedding day were immensely helpful and kept us organized and on track with planning. On the day of the wedding, Allison was organized, calm, and ready for everything. She even made sure we had food on our plates! Having Allison there on the day of the wedding is the reason we were able to feel SO at ease. We would highly recommend Without A Hitch - it's money very well spent!! read more

Without Sarah, we would have been completely lost. Really we don't know how you could get married without Sarah actually :) She goes just above and beyond, and puts in all her energy. Extremely responsive. Super organized and quick. Somehow always seems to understand what you're talking about. Always on your side and always friendly. She managed all the vendor contacts, put together a dynamite timeline, and kept everything (and everybody) on point. It was especially critical because we hired a non-traditional wedding band without any formal MC experience. But she worked with us closely to make it all happen... without a hitch! We wouldn't have been able to enjoy the day at all if it wasn't for Sarah. You can't even imagine how much there is to do the day of (and the days leading up). We're so glad we hired her and would recommend her a thousand times over! read more

Hiring Without a Hitch was the best decision my wife and I made when planning our wedding. We had heard from our friends that hiring a wedding coordinator was a must, but weren't 100% convinced. In the end, I'm so so glad we did. I work full time and my wife is a medical student, and while we are both very organized, we got married during the school year when neither of us could take time off. I knew we had to go with Without a Hitch from the first phone call when they asked if we had a noise permit for our backyard wedding - something I never would have thought of on my own. It was invaluable to have Rebecca's help in the months leading up to our wedding to bounce ideas off of, help us find vendors, and develop our timeline. We also designed our entire ceremony ourselves with my brother-in-law as our officiant and would have been completely lost without Rebecca's help. However, as great as Rebecca was leading up to the wedding, she was even better in person. It was such a weight off my shoulders to show up at our rehearsal and know that she would be in charge of running the show. The day of our wedding she was a complete life-saver! We had a significant delay between the salad and entrée courses of our dinner due to a catering mishap, and Rebecca skillfully switched around our toasts to fill the time. We had several other small issues throughout the night that she expertly navigated--I simply cannot imagine what we would have done without her! I would recommend Without a Hitch to anyone getting married in the Boston area - they will take a huge weight off your shoulders and most of all make sure that you enjoy your wedding while letting someone else worry about the details. read more

Working with Sarah and  Allison at Without a Hitch was the best money we have ever spent! We were blown away with the responsiveness, flexibility and most importantly kindness. Navigating life and planning a wedding during a pandemic is impossible to put into words and without their help and expertise I don't  think we would have gotten it done. Our wedding day was better than we could have imagined. Our experience  and wedding day would have never gone as smooth as it did without having Allison to keep us on track. Our day was mapped out by a well detailed timeline, organizing wedding vendors and keeping us on schedule so we didn't miss one moment of our day or forget anything during the daunting planning process leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding Allison also helped set up the space and our vision. Allison graciously moved us throughout each moment while , allowing us to enjoy every second of our time together with each other, family and friends. We had issues with our bus transportation and Allison handled it all with professionalism. All I had to do the day of my wedding was show up. I would highly recommend Without a Hitch to any brides. read more

Jillian was absolutely incredible to work with and plan our wedding! She was patient and understanding as I slowly provided the details needed for our wedding and helped me immensely stay on track. You were also the best go to for any ideas that needed to be bounced off of. Your vendor recommendations throughout the planning were so helpful as well! Even on the day of the wedding, I started to panic about a few details and you listened and calmed me down. I have other vendors quote and compliment that your timeline and details were in the top 2% with organization and detail. The outlined timeline had everything it needed for each vendor, the venue and the entire bridal party in addition to us. I can't thank you enough for everything you and without a Hitch did to make our wedding a dream come true! During Covid there were so many factors to one decision that kept preventing us to stay on track, but Jillian was beyond patient, understanding and extremely helpful to keep us best on track. I would recommend any future Boston Bride to Without a Hitch in a heartbeat!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for everything you did!! read more

Jessica from Without a Hitch was an absolutely incredible help while planning our wedding. We dragged our feet about hiring a coordinator and didn't end up hiring Without a Hitch until a few months before our date. Jessica jumped in and really helped get everything in order. She answered endless questions and helped fill in lots of gaps we didn't know we had. She was also incredible on the day of. We had a vendor that was a mess and she handled it perfectly. She resolved issues so quickly and cleanly we didn't even know there were any until after the wedding. Can't recommend them enough. read more

Jessica and Sarah were a critical part of making our wedding a flawless event and we could not recommend them more. I can't say enough about Jessica's calm presence on our wedding day- I couldn't have been more thankful to "hand the reigns" to her to manage all our vendors. Our venue had someone to unlock the doors and turn on the lights, but other than that we were DIY and Jessica really oversaw a flawless day. We would not have been able to enjoy our wedding if we didn't hire Without A Hitch. While they are not wedding planners, they were instrumental in helping us plan and organize our event. From our first meeting with them 5 months before our wedding to our rehearsal the day before, Jessica and Sarah were incredibly helpful in helping us create the minute-by-minute-run-of-show for our wedding day and asking us the questions that help frame our to-do list. One thing to note- their typical contract is 8 hours long. If you want them onsite before to help oversee set-up and to stay later to oversee clean up, it will be extra. They provided us with the right questions to ask of our vendors and gave us instructions on how to make sure clean up goes flawlessly without them there. We were incredibly impressed with their professionalism and expertise. If your site doesn't offer a coordinator, if you're a busy working professional who's never planned a wedding before, you need Without a Hitch. read more

Without a Hitch was fantastic! We worked with Sarah and Jessica leading up to our wedding, and they were responsive, wise, and fun the whole way. Our venue was completely DIY and had no staff, so Sarah and Jessica provided us with a VERY detailed and comprehensive to-do checklist. They checked in periodically to make sure we were on track - they were so encouraging but also shot us straight and told us how and what to prioritize. The were professional, but also gave us insider tips about how to work around certain logistics. Not once did they say "no" to any of our ideas - they just explained why certain things would be difficult, and always provided alternative ways to execute them. We've never thrown am event like this before and they gave us SO many pro tips - many, without which, we'd have been totally screwed! Jessica was with us day-of and was excellent. She seamlessly stepped into the scene and ran the timeline and flow, which was not easy since we had to corral our guests to 3 different spots on the venue property throughout the night. She paced the ceremony and was the point-person with all of our day-of vendors and guests. Everything went so smoothly (I literally didn't lift a finger the day- f). We had one scafu with our bartenders, and Jessica took care of it so quickly that we were barely aware. Special thanks to Jessica for keeping tabs on our less mobile guests to make sure that they were comfortable and taken care of - and for easing us into cocktail hour at a point where there wasn't a line for the bar (so we weren't mobbed). Hire them!! read more

Having an off-site ceremony, a hotel room block, transportation, etc called for a day-of-coordinator. We were referred to Without A Hitch from a competitor - and we are so glad we hired them. You should enjoy your wedding day and be in the moment - hiring any coordinator of some sort ensures they will do the worrying and organizing for you. If something goes wrong or falls behind - you AND your parents shouldn't be the ones to deal with it - the coordinator will already be on top of it with their experience and professionalism. Now let's talk about WIthout A Hitch specifically and the amazing Michelle and Sarah. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, I worked with and updated a massive timeline that Michelle & Sarah helped us design. So as time went on and things changed, we made updates. Now I have to also highlight the incredible pivoting these two women did during our wedding weekend. Due to an unfortunate emergency - Michelle could not make it to our rehearsal last-minute and Sarah quickly jumped in and made it to our rehearsal [before me!] and lead the rehearsal and passed the notes onto Michelle that night, who showed up the next morning completely filled-in and ready to go. As a bride this was at first a bit stressful, but all that mattered was the way they handled an unexpected and uncontrollable incident. Things happen and I couldn't have been more thankful we went with them vs someone else! Michelle was an absolute ray of sunshine in the months leading up to our big day and on the day of course. Couples can often end up in "decision fatigue" after planning such an important event for a year or more, that it helps to have someone experienced help you make big decisions. Michelle was an incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy coordinator and has a plethora of experience in weddings. She made me so happy and made me feel so special day-of. She reminded me to take deep breaths and be in the moment throughout my day and worked wonderfully with our other coordinator that was on-site at our reception venue. I can't leave a review without mentioning the fact that my bustle broke during the first dancing at the reception. This is common with Greek dancing with all the feet near each other, but I was totally horrified! Michelle re-bustled my dress with safety pins in less than 10 minutes which proceeded to hold for the rest of the night. It was truly a miracle and I'm not sure what we would have done without her! I didn't want to miss anymore dancing than I already had to. If you have a wedding day with lots of moving parts, don't hesitate to hire Without A Hitch! read more

Everything was fantastic! The planning sessions ahead of time kept us organized, and they were incredibly friendly. They were always positive, fun, but also pragmatic. They were willing to execute on whatever plan we wanted and had plenty of recommendations to make sure all our plans ran smoothly. They had worked with some of our vendors and our location, which made planning remotely easier -- they could run the show during the final planning meeting! We got to spend the whole time talking with guests and enjoying the day. Kait and Elaina handled all the random things that came up perfectly and had great communication with us. I really felt like they listened and were absolutely ready to roll with all our crazy gambles in terms of the ceremony and all the moving parts. We really appreciated that they asked us about the important calls and made a bunch of calls on the small stuff for us. They had back up plans for the back up plans! We really got to enjoy our wedding day! read more

My partner and I weren't sure if we needed a coordinator for our wedding. On the day of, we were glad to have Jessica to help us. She was an absolute delight, and it let us focus on each other instead of on the planning once the big day arrived. I highly recommend Jessica and the whole Without a Hitch team. read more

I really recommend Without a Hitch for Day of Coordinator services! I am very 'type A'/planner type, so I knew I did not need a full blown wedding planner, but all my friends said I should still have a 'DoC', and they were right! I worked with Allison from the Without A Hitch team and she was amazing. The year leading up to the wedding she helped me build a timeline, provided advice when asked, and most importantly was there for us throughout the big day. She was so responsive throughout the year which I really appreciated. The DoC position was important as she was the only person besides me and my now husband who really knew the full plan end to end for the day, including all vendors involved. I was so much more relaxed and able to be in the moment knowing that Allison was double checking everything was perfect. She was also amazing helping me sort through last minute lighting decisions at the venue. Our day was so smooth and perfect and I know Without a Hitch and Allison were a big part of that. Thank you!!! read more

Without a Hitch is definitely a business to stay away from. They do not treat their customers with respect and compassion. The individual planners are fine, and we received some helpful service namely building an initial timeline at first. But the business manager Sarah, was difficult and argumentative from the start. It started with them threatening to charge us extra for an initial meeting that was in our area since we could not drive out to their location, despite advertising that they served the Boston area. Sarah feel back on the contract in that case and we acquiesced since it was stated in the contract, although easily overlooked as it was never mentioned. We ended up being lucky that they had an appointment near us and we took advantage of that, although we should have recognized at that point this is not a customer friendly business. Then the pandemic hit and our wedding originally planned for July of 2020 had to be postponed. We set a tentative date in 2021, all our vendors agreed. Without a Hitch reluctantly agreed, trying to get us to still pay them thousands of dollars for a small backyard wedding. We had a small backyard ceremony in 2020 but still wanted a wedding ceremony when the pandemic was over. We did not use, we did not need Without a hitch for the small backyard ceremony. As 2021 came the summer date in 2021 was still in question. The date in the summer is the only time of year we can have all our family available. The pandemic was still a problem and new variants were rising and there were problems with vaccine distribution initially. It was too much of a risk so we again postponed the wedding party to 2022. All our vendors agreed readily except Without a Hitch. They said we would have to pay them as if we were starting a new contract, only caring over 20% of our down payment which was half the total cost in 2020. And the increase in fees would completely eat up that 20%. None of the other options were viable options for us and we told them this. We could not move to a later date in 2021, and we told them this spring of our final decision. They claimed that they turned away business for us, yet could not cite a single case of this happening. And the fact that the original date was 2020 means that they were not turning away anyone. They claim to have helped people with smaller covid friendly events but to claim that we should have spent almost $5,000 for a small backyard ceremony is outrageous. They continually acted without good faith, ignored the facts of the situation and showed no willingness to act in our best interest and "lawyered" up with each interaction sticking to the letter of the contract despite the realities of the world still in the midst of a pandemic. read more

We hired Without a Hitch in the last couple months before our wedding and were so grateful for their careful coordination of our vendors and all the details on the day of. Sarah and Jessica F. ensured that our timeline was rock solid and then delivered an impossibly beautiful day for both us and our guests (not sure they can be credited with changing the weather but the clouds literally parted!). Jessica checked in with us regularly to ensure we had thought of everything and planning was moving along smoothly. We had Jessica do her walk through for our rehearsal so we could practice the ceremony processional and recessional, and she did a fantastic job wrangling our family and friends to get them ready for the big day. Once the ceremony got started, we didn't have to worry about a thing beyond being present and enjoying the ride, which is the best testament to how well Jessica kept things on track. We would hire Without a Hitch again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for peace of mind leading up to their wedding! read more

Wow. We worked with Sarah for the last few months of our wedding planning, and she is absolutely stellar. My husband and I were living in Denver, in the process of moving to Seattle, and planning a wedding in Maine and were feeling very overwhelmed. Sarah helped us organize our thoughts, run through our minute by minute schedule, and was quick to answer any and all questions and concerns we had about the big day. And the name of her company "Without A Hitch" is EXACTLY how our wedding day went off. She was directing what vendors should be doing, where guests should go, and helped my husband and I navigate our way through the ceremony and reception. If anything went wrong during our wedding, we still have absolutely no idea because Sarah handled everything with such professionalism and tact! Thank you again so much Sarah, you were such a pleasure to work with and you seriously saved me and my mom's sanity, you made the day feel easy and carefree, and we couldn't have been more happy with how everything went thanks to you! read more

Sarah and Without a Hitch were one of the best decisions we made about our wedding, other than the decision to marry each other! From the moment we met Sarah we knew that we were in good hands and that she really understood the kind of celebration we wanted to have. She was detail oriented, extremely organized, and a pleasure to work with. She thought of so many things that never would have occurred to us in the planning process and made sure that all of our decisions were made beforehand so that on the day of our wedding we were able to relax and just enjoy celebrating with our families and friends. Having Sarah there made all the difference and we are so grateful! read more

My wife and I hired Without a Hitch for wedding day-of coordinator services for our June wedding, and we cannot thank Jessica and Sarah enough for their tremendous effort. We were especially impressed at our first meeting, during which Jessica and Sarah dove right into the nitty-gritty wedding details to hammer out a timeline, consolidate our vendor list, and identify gaps (and due dates) for the remaining items on our list. Week after week, Jessica checked in to gauge our progress, keep us on track, and answer our numerous questions. On the day of the wedding, Jessica shepherded us, our families, our guests, and our vendors to help things run unbelievably smoothly. We had assembled detailed plans for the reception venue layout and decorations (e.g., guestbook photos of wedding party and family members, lawn games, etc.), which Jessica expertly executed to make the evening memorable and beautiful. We especially appreciated Jessica's openness to extend her contract by an extra hour to help us round out the celebration and oversee cleanup. Overall, our experience with Without a Hitch was fantastic, and we highly recommend their services to anyone getting married in the Boston area! read more

If you are looking for a day-of coordinator, look no further. In every element of the wedding planning we could think of, Without A Hitch nailed it and they were the single most important contributor to our wedding. Our wedding has several "unusual" elements: we are a long-distance couple; my family lives in Korea; most of our guests came from out of town and even out of country. So, we were looking for a coordinator who is on top of things, great with emails, and open to new ideas that suit our guests. Without A Hitch was the one! After the initial call with Sarah (founder), we were assigned to work with Alisha. We met up a few months before the wedding to discuss general ideas and to-dos and then communicated via email. Alisha created a detailed timeline, which we constantly co-edited to suit our needs and preferences throughout the planning process. Alisha would highlight the important things to keep in mind at different stages of the planning, and put together all the relevant details. She also gave us a timely reminder to keep us on track. About 1-2 week before the wedding day, Alisha reached out to all the vendors to update them on timelines for each vendor. At that point, we were already 100% confident Alisha would do a great job on the day of. And came the snowstorm on both our rehearsal day and wedding day even though it was early April! Alisha impressed us even more during these two days with her completely peaceful manner and smooth coordination despite the undesirable weather. We ended up having a lot of fun and an awesome wedding thanks to her help! We felt like Alisha was coordinating the wedding of her family member or her best friend -- that's how caring, thoughtful, and dedicated she was. Even my mother who speaks very little English felt completely comfortable with Alisha and kept thanking her for her exceptional professionalism and kindness. Alisha and Sarah, we are forever grateful to you for making our wedding the best day ever (so far)! read more

I hired Sarah Basch of "Without A Hitch" as a Day of Coordinator for my son's wedding. Even though it was my son, our family was responsible for virtually every aspect of the wedding. Sarah not only met my expectations, she far exceeded them. If I was to rate Sarah on a scale from 1 to 5, I would give her a 10. We were on a tight budget but my gift to myself was a Day of Coordinator. I am so happy I did that. If you're on the fence about hiring a Day of Coordinator, do it. If you've decided you want one - smart move. Either way, hire "Without A Hitch" - Sarah's well worth every penny you'll spend. As a result of Sarah's organizational skills, her attention to every detail - major or minor - and her friendly, calm and personable demeanor on the day of the wedding, I was able to be a guest and truly enjoy the event. Let me give you a little background. I am a very detailed and take charge person. But after the initial meeting with Sarah, myself and my DIL to be, I felt confident that I made the right choice in planners. What really sealed the deal was after I saw her Day of Event Timeline. That's when I knew I could let go of all details and that everything would be taken cared of as if I was in charge. Trust me when I say this is no easy task. Let me get into specifics. We didn't choose a venue where we had the basic vendors - hotel, florist, band, and photographer. We were responsible for managing 12 vendors, ranging from pianist, custodians, valets, to bartenders - the day of the event. When I say we, I mean Sarah. From being in touch with all a week before to making sure they had directions to the venue, to making sure they knew what time they were supposed to be there, to managing them the day of, to suggesting what were appropriate tips and paying them at the end of the evening - Sarah was on top of it all. Day of Event Timeline - Sarah asked us to fill out a questionnaire with all our vendors and details of the event. First pass produced a 3-4 page timeline. She kept in constant email contact with my DIL to be, adding, subtracting - fine tuning it so it was exactly what the Bride wanted. The day went like clockwork, "Without a Hitch," yet it flowed so seamlessly and natural. By the time the event took place the Day of Event Timeline document was 6+ pages. It was even updated the day of. I thought I had a good handle on all the details until I spoke with Sarah. She thought of things that I would never had thought of - like to make sure to tell the caterer not to collect plates when the Best Man made the toast so the room would be quiet, or specifying who fixes the brides train and who holds her flowers during part of the ceremony. These are things I would have taken for granted and not thought of in advance, but not Sarah. She had detail after detail on the timeline. It was great. Several of my good friends who knew I hired Sarah commented how easily and nonchalantly she moved around the room making sure all went well and fixed small mishaps before they became major issues. Since I didn't think there were any mishaps, she did a great job. I can't say enough about what a wonderful job "Without A Hitch" -- Sarah did. She made my son's wedding a tremendous success. A day I will never forget and neither will he. Thank you Sarah. read more

We simply can't thank Allison enough. She was such a phenomenal support to us. Having her there made us so much more relaxed - we knew we were in great hands. We really appreciate all she did for us, from set up, to clean up, to dress bustling, and rain plan adjustments. It was so wonderful walking into our hotel room at night to find all of our things. And on top of all of it, she was just a great calming presence. We'll be recommending her for years to come. Many many thanks. read more

Sarah exceeded our expectations! Her ideas were fantastic and made the entire day a pleasure for us. Thank you!!
