"Hiring Steph Saunders was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Steph was incredibly attentive, genuinely listened to every idea, and understood our vision. Steph's attention to detail is unmatched—she anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had and handled every moment with professionalism.

What impressed us most was how Steph brought our dream to life so effortlessly. Every detail—from the décor to the timeline to the little personal touches—was executed flawlessly. Our guests were blown away, and we were able to fully enjoy the day knowing that everything was in the best hands.
If you want a planner who cares deeply, works tirelessly, and turns your vision into something even more magical than you imagined, Steph is the one. We are forever grateful!"

"Hiring Steph was easily the best money we spent on our wedding.
She made EVERYTHING- from finding and hiring vendors, to managing costs and budgets, to detailed decorations- a breeze.

She went above and beyond for us, and you can tell immediately upon meeting her that she does for every one of her couples. She is an utter professional, with tons of experience planning in the Charlottesville area. We received so many compliments on her specifically from our parents and friends. She was an absolute angel to have during the almost-year planning our wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"Steph is amazing!! ...Right from the start, Steph answered our many questions about vendors and tiny details months before the wedding. She was attentive to emails and worked around our busy schedules. We received positive feedback from the vendors we worked with, which is not surprising because she’s delightful to work with. Steph took care of all communication with vendors related to the timeline and even stepped in to help when vendors were being difficult or unhelpful. On the wedding day itself, Steph and her husband Ben worked harder than anyone else to make our vision come to life. They came early to help us finish up tasks and make sure everything looked exactly as we wanted. And they stayed late to clean up because Steph understood that we wanted to take some of the chores off my parent's shoulders since we were hosting the wedding on their property. The rentals team even mentioned how easy our pickup was after the event, all thanks to Steph staying late to ensure the cleanup was done correctly. There was a hiccup with the music at one point during the day due to the DJ and when we let Steph know she immediately worked to rectify it. Never once did she complain about any of our expectations and was always working with a smile on her face. We had an AMAZING wedding and we owe a lot of it to Steph!! We are forever grateful to her.If you’re thinking about booking her, do it- she’s simply the best!"

"Amazing work ethic and professionalism!"

"I don't have enough good words to describe Steph and her ability to execute a perfect event full of joy for hundreds of people. Steph is extremely organized, professional, and above all - pleasant no matter the level of stress and chaos happening around her. She has incredible contacts in the Virginia area (and I'm sure elsewhere as well) to plan the perfect wedding. From florists, to DJ, to lights, to desserts. She will answer any question you have at any hour of the day with the most calm and joyful demeanor that makes you excited about your wedding day throughout the entirety of the planning process. We truly would not have had the experience we did without Steph. She became a part of the family - answering every person's question on the day of and ensuring the most effortless execution. She will go the extra mile (quite literally!) to make sure the day goes smoothly and takes so much pride in her work. Her attention to detail is unrivaled - she will never forget a single detail you tell her and she is able to adjust with any last minute changes. I have grown to truly love working with her -- so much so that I cannot wait for the next party we plan just to hire her again."

"Exceeded all expectations!"

"The Best Decision for Our Wedding!"

"I could not imagine my wedding day without Steph Saunders!
From the day of booking, to after our reception, Steph managed everything with a smile and pure professionalism. Steph was attentive to our questions and requests, managed every detail and issue that came up, and was so calm through the entire day. She genuinely was one of the highlights of my entire day. All my family, bridal party, and other vendors were telling me about the positive impression she left. Booking with Steph was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!"
