THE BEST EVER!!!
If I could give By Samantha Santos 10 stars, I would. I went into wedding planning fully prepared to lose my mind and somehow came out the other side calm and more hands-off than I thought I'd be. I wanted a very over-the-top, fun wedding, but also wanted it to feel intimate, which sounds like a contradiction, but Samantha made it work seamlessly. She took that vision and ran with it. She listened to what we wanted, never tried to push her own ideas, and brought in vendors that made me wonder where she's been hiding these people! From florals to catering to entertainment, everything felt curated but never overdone. Samantha handled our families so smoothly. Dealing with all of our personalities could be overwhelming, and she made it all so stress-free. She has this way of keeping everyone happy without anyone feeling sidelined. I still don't know how she did it. Day of, I actually got to enjoy myself. I wasn't checking my phone, and I wasn't running around. The best thing about our wedding was not the flowers or the venue, but actually being present for your own wedding. If you're looking for a luxury wedding planner in South Florida, I can't recommend By Samantha Santos enough!!!
