    We highly recommend!

    Where to start?! Sarah made us feel as though we were her only clients (but don’t be fooled because she’s booked and busy!), she was wonderful at communicating with us and our vendors, and she was able to think on her feet really quickly while also keeping in mind our preferences. She would even remember things that we forgot throughout the process and the wedding day itself. On the wedding day, the weather ended up being windy and rainy, and we didn’t hear a single complaint or negative comment from Sarah and her team. She accommodated for the weather while also making sure we were still satisfied. The bride is someone who has a tough time trusting people to get things done when she can’t do them herself, but she fully and completely put her trust in Sarah and her team from the beginning, and there is no doubt she’d do it time and time again without hesitation. 10/10 would highly recommend working with Sarah for all your wedding needs! We love you so much, Sarah!!!

    The best planner a bride could dream of!

    Hiring Sarah was easily the best money spent on our wedding. She helped us find a venue, florist, DJ, and hairstylist all within our budget without compromising our vision. The day of, Sarah was everywhere ensuring the wedding ran smoothly, but also had a subtle presence- you could not ask for a more organized, professional, personable, patient, or kind coordinator. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a helping hand in creating their dream wedding- she made our day better than we could ever have imagined! Thanks again for everything, Sarah!

    The best day of coordinator ever!

    Working with Sarah at I Got A Love Jones Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From day one, the communication was crystal clear. She kept everyone on the same page and wasn't afraid to set boundaries when vendors or the venue tried to veer off course. What really impressed us was how she handled the chaos behind the scenes. The caterers showed up late, but she managed to set up our entire reception for 100 guests in just two hours without breaking a sweat. She also navigated our difficult venue with such professionalism, staying firm but kind while making sure our vision came to life exactly as we wanted it. By the end of the day, we felt like we'd gained a friend. She was energized from start to finish and made everything look effortless, even when things could have fallen apart. Honestly, we couldn't have done it without her!

    Sarah is great

    Working with I Got A Love Jones Events took so much stress off our shoulders leading up to the big day. From our first conversation, the team made us feel heard and included us in every decision, even when we wanted to incorporate our family traditions into the ceremony and reception. They were calm and patient through the entire planning process, which helped us stay relaxed even when we hit bumps along the way. On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a single thing because they had thought through every detail and made sure everything ran smoothly. Every penny we spent with them was worth it—their dedication to making our day special showed in everything they did. We can't recommend I Got A Love Jones Events enough to couples looking for planners who truly care.

    Working with Sarah was AMAZING!!!

    Working with Sarah was one of the greatest blessings of our wedding day. From the very beginning, she brought such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care to every step of the process. What makes her support even more incredible is that she was able to pull everything together for us with only one month of planning runway. In such a short amount of time, she made the entire process feel calm, organized, and seamless. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond as both our coordinator and officiant. She handled every detail with grace, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy each moment without stress or worry. Our ceremony was heartfelt, beautiful, and deeply personal—so many of our guests commented on how meaningful and touching it was. Beyond her incredible talent, Sarah has a gift for making everyone feel comfortable and cared for. She treated our family and friends with kindness, patience, and joy, which meant so much to us. We truly felt supported every step of the way. If you are looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, organized, and passionate about making your day special, we cannot recommend Sarah enough. She played such an important role in making our wedding unforgettable, and we are forever grateful for her.
