Mikaela & JC – 3rd July

Photographer – Alyssa McElheny Photography

This Michigan couple dreamed of a Wine Country wedding for 36 of their closest friends.

Absolutely 5 stars all around!

Samar is amazing! We planned our wedding from a distance – living in Michigan planning for a wedding in Sonoma, CA. Samar help to create a beautiful wedding down to the very last detail. She provided tons of recommendations of vendors to use in the area and even went out of her way to meet with vendors that we found who were not on the list of recommendations from the venue to ensure their quality and work!

Planning a destination wedding is hard (and may I say stressful!!!) but Samar made it painless and almost too easy. The timeline flowed smoothly, every detail came together  perfectly and not a thing went wrong on the day of the wedding (or at least if it did she did a great job at covering it up from the bride!!).  As the bride, I was so worried about all that I would have to do once I arrived In California for the wedding week but really aside from last minute arts and crafts, Samar helped to console my worries and stresses that the day would be perfect as well as ensure that the vendors all came together to do just that and make it a dream come true. The day prior and the day of the wedding our families and ourselves did not do a thing for the wedding, instead we left it up to Samar and took her up on some of her local recommendations and went out wine tasting instead of stressing!

I could not have been more grateful to fall upon such a wonderful panner. She made the day (and ALL the days) leading up to the wedding easy, painless as it could be and fun! She has such a fun and loving personality that she blended in perfectly with our guests and seemed like one of them herself!

We cannot thank you enough Samar (and team!). You and work work are absolutely beautiful!!
