    McKenna is the best!

    Sage & Lace Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was informative, helpful and clear, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. They were incredibly organized, timely and caring in their approach, and were able to expertly navigate any stressful situations that came up. On the day of our wedding, Sage & Lace made sure everything ran smoothly and jumped in to address any timeline issues that arose. They were so friendly, personable and genuinely seemed to care about making our special day as wonderful as possible. We were blown away by how they went above and beyond for us as the bride and groom.

    Exceptional Wedding Planner! Detail Oriented

    5 STARS!!! AMAZING. I recently had a small outdoor wedding in Cave Creek, AZ, with about 65 guests. I could not have asked for a better experience thanks to Sage & Lace Weddings. McKenna was my point of contact & she handled every aspect of the event flawlessly, from setting up the venue to coordinating with vendors. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were outstanding. Sage & Lace Weddings took care of invitations, tables, photography, food, dessert, and made sure we had a well-stocked bar (which was a priority for us!). Everything flowed smoothly, and she was always available to address any crazy last-minute requests (seating changes). Thanks to Sage & Lace Weddings, our wedding day was stress-free and perfectly executed. I highly recommend Sage & Lace Weddings to anyone looking for a dedicated, positive, happy, lively, detail-oriented, and reliable wedding planner!

    HIRE THEM NOW.

    Sage & Lace Weddings are simply the best wedding planners we could have hoped for. Their communication style is meticulous, caring, and genuine, with an unparalleled attention to every detail. The quality of their work is flawless - they expertly handled every aspect of our wedding with incredible skill and effectiveness. Even to this day, they continue to contribute to making our special day feel truly magical. I've never experienced such caring, personalized attention from a vendor before. Sage & Lace are not only fantastic planners, but a wonderful couple themselves. I would recommend them 10/10 without a moment's hesitation - they are the Tom Brady of wedding planning!

Yes, I do have a background in cybersecurity, and it’s surprisingly relevant to my work in wedding coordination! In my cyber role, I often encounter high-stress, high-pressure situations that require quick and accurate remediation. This experience has trained me to think on my feet and remain calm under pressure, which is essential when unexpected challenges arise during wedding planning.
I decided to become a wedding coordinator because it allows me to combine my passion for love stories with my expertise in planning and organization. While working in cybersecurity, where I developed skills in coordination, problem-solving, and maintaining calm under stress, I realized that these abilities could translate beautifully into the world of wedding planning. I love the idea of helping couples bring their unique visions to life, creating unforgettable moments that reflect their personalities and journeys together. The joy of being part of such a significant milestone in people’s lives is incredibly rewarding.
Yes, I’m happy to work with your budget, especially if you have a lower guest count than a traditional wedding. I encourage you to reach out to me so we can discuss your budget and specific needs in detail. I’ll do my best to create a package that fits your vision while ensuring you have a memorable and meaningful celebration. Let’s chat about how we can make your dream wedding a reality!
No! The industry is actually evolving towards a more accurate term: "Month-of coordination." While my primary focus is on ensuring everything runs smoothly on your special day, I believe in maintaining open communication throughout the planning process. I’ll meet with you in the weeks leading up to the wedding to discuss your vision, finalize details, and create a comprehensive timeline. This way, I can ensure that your expectations are met and that your day is as stress-free as possible. On the wedding day, I’ll be there to manage everything, allowing you to fully enjoy the celebration with your loved ones.
While an on-site coordinator at your venue can be incredibly helpful, having a day-of wedding coordinator can still be beneficial. Venue coordinators typically focus on the logistics specific to the venue itself, such as setup and catering services. However, a day-of coordinator will be dedicated to your entire wedding experience, managing all aspects of the event, coordinating with your vendors, and ensuring that your vision is executed seamlessly. Having both allows for clear communication and a smoother flow on your wedding day. Who wouldn't want a personal assistant for a day?!
While having supportive bridesmaids and family members can be incredibly helpful, hiring a day-of wedding coordinator is still advisable. Your loved ones may want to enjoy the day as guests rather than managing logistics, which can be stressful. A day-of coordinator brings expertise in handling unexpected challenges, coordinating vendors, and managing the timeline, ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
A typical elopement day is a beautiful blend of intimacy and spontaneity. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, often starting with a leisurely morning as you prepare for the day ahead. The focus will be on the meaningful moments-exchanging vows in a location that resonates with your love story, whether it’s a breathtaking mountain view, a serene beach, or a cozy hidden spot. After the ceremony, there may be time for a private celebration, such as a picnic or a quiet dinner, allowing you to savor the experience together. I will handle logistics, ensuring everything runs smoothly, so you can fully immerse yourselves in the joy of your marriage.
The cost of an elopement can vary depending on several factors, including the location, the services you choose, and the number of guests. Key expenses may include permits for your chosen location, officiant fees, photography, and any additional services like flowers or catering. The process typically begins with a consultation to discuss your vision and budget. From there, I’ll help you select a beautiful location, secure necessary permits, and coordinate details such as the officiant and any vendors you may want. On the day of the elopement, I’ll be there to ensure everything runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on celebrating your love.
