Kimi pulled together so many different design elements into a cohesive vision we could finally visualize for our dream day. The written concept honestly brought me to tears — it was the first time our wedding started to feel real. Everything that was pulled together felt like more than a mood board and more like a it was a wedding vision we could actually feel.

When I first started Sage Events, I offered full service planning. I had so much fun but quickly discovered that I THRIVE in the actual coordination of the event. The day-of rush, getting to bring your vision to life, being able to experience so many different wedding vibes since they were all planned by different people!! I officially made the switch from wedding planning to solely month-of coordination and haven't looked back! Sage Events is perfect for the couples that have done the tough work of finding the vendors and designing the day the way they want it. All that's left is to let me & my team take over for the last stretch.

We absolutely loved our experience working with Sage Events! Camryn is incredibly organized, knowledgeable about the wedding industry, and supportive. Camryn went above and beyond to ensure my wedding weekend was completely perfect and stress-free. Throughout our year and a half of planning, Camryn continuously communicated with us- answering all of our questions, providing advice, and went above and beyond working with our vendors. She is incredibly creative and detail-oriented. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of everything, allowing me to fully enjoy my wedding day. I am so incredibly grateful to Sage Events, and could not recommend their wedding planning services more!

I’m so happy you’re here! I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2022. While there, I studied Business Administration which led me to finding an interest in event coordination. The hopeless romantic in me found that my passion lies in the wedding portion of the industry. Please reach out with all of your questions, I would love to chat! I absolutely cannot wait to get to know you and help you create a beautiful day!

If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, just do it! My now husband and I were trying to plan a wedding from across the country and really didn’t know the first thing about wedding planning. Kaitlyn was amazing from the start and we knew that we would be in great hands. Her communication was great, worked a lot of behind the scenes efforts and thought of all the small details that we never would have on our own. She truly put in so much to make our day so beautiful!

Hi! I’m Steph, owner and lead wedding planner of SC Signature Celebrations, and your personal stress reliever. I’m a former educator turned wedding planner. I love balancing my creative spirit with my logistical expertise to make peoples’ dream days come true. After 8 years of event planning, I decided to focus on weddings because I’m passionate about creating lifelong memories. I’m here to collaborate with you on creating your dream wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started planning almost two years before our wedding, Steph completely understood our vision. She never tried to steer us toward what a wedding "should" look like—instead, she encouraged us to create a day that felt authentic to us, even when our choices were a little unconventional. Having someone who genuinely supported what *we* wanted made the entire planning process so much less stressful. She also somehow managed to talk me through every single one of my little wedding planning menty b's. Whether I was spiraling over tiny details or showing up with what felt like completely unhinged ideas or last-minute thoughts, she never made me feel like I was being ridiculous. She listened, reassured me, and somehow always found a way to make me feel calm and confident again. Having someone who could balance professionalism with that level of kindness and patience made all the difference. The greatest gift Steph gave us was our wedding day. I can honestly say I have no idea if anything went wrong, because if it did, we never knew about it. My husband and I were able to be fully present with each other and soak in every moment. We never left each other's side, and at one point we even snuck away during the reception for a little nap because we were feeling overstimulated. Instead of worrying about timelines, logistics, or putting out fires, we got to experience the day exactly as we had hoped: together. It wasn't until days and even weeks after the wedding that we learned some guests had opinions about a few of our non-traditional choices, like not taking formal photos with every single guest or taking time for ourselves during the reception. The fact that we didn't know any of that in the moment is a testament to Steph. She protected our peace and made sure we stayed in our own little magical bubble all day long. Looking back, that's what stands out the most. Our wedding wasn't perfect because everything went exactly according to plan—it was perfect because we got to be completely present with each other, free from stress and outside expectations. That is an incredible gift, and one we'll always be grateful for. Steph is so much more than an amazing wedding planner. After nearly two years of planning together, she's become a friend, and I can't imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else. If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, advocate for your vision, calm your anxieties, embrace your wild ideas, and make sure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day, Steph is the person you want by your side.
