Sally was amazing. She knows what she's doing and how to get it done! Sally was very responsive to all our questions in person and over email, and on the wedding day, she worked with all of our vendors to make sure the day went seamlessly. All of our guests have told us how smooth and effortless every transition was! I definitely recommend Sally!
Sally made sure our dream wedding came to life! My husband and I worked with Sally to plan a wedding at my parents' home. We had to basically start from zero, turning the whole yard into a venue for 100+ guests. Sally handled this effortlessly. She helped us select the best vendors, and the day before the wedding, we watched a wedding venue come together (bathrooms, tenting, dance floor, etc.) right before our very eyes! We are so grateful we chose Sally to help us plan the wedding, and we recommend her to everyone!
I cannot recommend Sally enough for your wedding day. She made everything absolutely perfect. My husband and I got married on a day with unpredictable weather, and Sally handled everything with such calmness and confidence. She coordinated all the moving parts flawlessly and helped keep me grounded the entire time, which made the whole process so much easier. She was incredibly efficient during rehearsal, wonderfully organized, and always responsive to my communication. I truly couldn’t have imagined the day without her. She was my day of coordinator, but I’ve heard amazing things about her as Wedding planner as well. 10/10 would recommend Sally!
We love the whole Sally Oakley team, but we especially love Kathy! We worked with the team for our September 2025 wedding. Kathy was just amazing from start to finish. From the second we met Kathy she just completely understood us! She saw our vision and helped us execute it perfectly. She was also amazing helping us work within our budget to get what we wanted. My wedding day was completely stress free and I owe so many thanks to her for that. My family and I always looked forward to our calls with Kathy because she is just such a positive light. Our wedding would not have been the amazing party it was without her! We highly recommend Kathy and the whole Sally Oakley team!
We worked with Kathy for our May 2025 wedding and were so pleased! She was such a calming presence throughout the planning process and we knew we were in great hands for the wedding day! She was so organized and made sure that every detail of our timeline and wedding logistics stayed on schedule and according to plan! This allowed my mom and I to be completely present on the day and we are so grateful!
