About Sleeping Bee Designs
Sleeping Bee Designs
Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!
We really focus on the couples' concerns and want to make sure that we work within the planning method that makes you the most comfortable. The work we do with you for coordination starts 3 months out because in order for us to be experts on your epic day, we need to talk to you and your vendors about it while also helping you close out the last things on your list of to-dos. Based in Frederick, we specialize in Frederick-based weddings and vendor selection.
In three words: Collaborative, Efficient, Positive

Hire Sarah ASAP!!
From our first conversation, Sarah and her team at Sleeping Bee Designs felt like the right fit for our wedding. She was responsive and down to earth throughout the entire planning process, always ready to answer questions and work through ideas with us. Sarah's organization is outstanding. She handled all the details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to relax and actually enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a single detail. Her thoughtful approach really shined when it came to designing our centerpieces and helping to craft the overall vibe of the day, which turned out exactly how we imagined (perks of both being obsessed with the purple vibes). Sarah brought professionalism, care, and attention to detail to every decision, making our day truly flawless. We would absolutely recommend Sleeping Bee Designs to any couple looking for a wedding planner.

Seriously the Best Decision We Made!
Hiring Sleeping Bee Designs (SBD) as our Day-of Coordinator was easily one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. They bring untold experience, professionalism, excitement, excellence, and positivity to the process. An Incredible Team ("The Sarahs"!) We had the pleasure of working with both Sarah (the owner) and the "other" Sarah (our day-of lead). Both of them are just wonderful human beings. They are kind, bring the absolute best vibes, and are extremely experienced professionals. They went above and beyond to ensure from our first meeting to the planning process itself, and most importantly the wedding itself went smooth and was the perfect representation of our vision. Going Above and Beyond Their coordination and meticulous attention to detail are unmatched. What truly sets SBD apart is their flexibility and genuine willingness to help with so much more than what their job description states. They did everything with a smile, which is a true testament to professionals who deeply care about making a couple's biggest day special, flawless, and completely memorable. They kept everything running perfectly, allowing us to actually relax and enjoy our day. Sleeping Bee Designs comes with the highest recommendation we can possibly provide. If you want a stress-free wedding day, hire them immediately! -Chris and Michele

Sarah is the BEST!!!!
Hiring Sarah as a wedding coordinator and design consultant was hands down the best wedding decision we made. She is amazing. Right from the beginning, she put our minds at ease. Sarah sent so many helpful documents to help us as we began planning the wedding and was always around to answer a quick question or lend her expertise. We got married at Union Mills Public House in Frederick, MD. Sarah knew the area, venue and available vendors like the back of her hand and guided us through the entire process.She had answers to every question and helped us quell any worries. As we got closer to the day, our minds were at ease knowing Sarah had all the logistics down. Her team really is incredible. My husband and I were able to enjoy every second of our wedding because we knew Sarah and her team had everything covered. There were a few times during the night when things didn’t go exactly according to plan (because of guests, weather, etc.) and each time, Sarah had it figured out before we even knew what was happening. The saddest part was needing to say goodbye to the Sleeping Bee team at the end of the wedding. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!!!

Sarah was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I booked day of coordinator services with her, but she was involved much earlier to ensure day of details would be absolutely perfect. Sarah and her team do absolutely everything in their power to ensure everything goes PERFECTLY for bride and groom, but also for the entirety of the wedding. I cannot recommend enough, Sarah and her team go above and beyond, and we are SO GLAD we went with them.

Wedding Wizards!
Sarah and her team coordinated our November wedding and did such a wonderful job! I would recommend them over and over. Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional throughout our entire experience. From last minute rentals, to late night (night before) texts, a day of rehearsal, to random day of chaos, SBD handled it all with grace and efficiency. In addition to being lovely, Sarah is incredibly organized and detailed oriented, she is really exactly what you need. We are so thankful that we hired SBD, it really was the best day ever!
