Wow - where to start with Sam. She is professional, kind, stylish, and OH SO ORGANISED. When I approached her about our wedding -in the middle of Covid- she managed every change with ease. She provided her opinion where I asked, but managed to create an event that perfectly defined us as a couple. We added in vendors, dealt with restriction changes, and had several guest cancellations, all last minute, and Sam handled everything in stride. I also opted for her styling help, and WOW, she nailed it. She has an eye for style, incredible organisation system and excellent communication. If you're

Sam and team were extremely organised, helpful and professional. They made sure our home wedding ran smoothly and exactly to plan. I can't thank them enough for helping us in the lead up to and on the day. All the guests and family were amazed at how smoothly the entire day ran. Having Sam on hand meant we could fully enjoy the day. Thank you again :)

Sam Burke saved my wedding! She is warm, kind and an absolute professional. She was both supportive and honest through the whole planning process and worked like a maniac on the day. I had 1000 DIY items and Sam made it work for me, regardless of how many times the plans changed. I'm so thankful that I chose Sam to coordinate my day, I could not recommend her enough. She is a super star!

Sam helped with my wedding last September and what an absolute life saver she was - her and her team were absolutely phenomenal!!! Since my ceremony and reception were in two different places, I wanted a day of coordinator to help everything ran smoothly on the day. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and also had some great planning tips leading up to the day. My only regret was that I didn't hire her from the day I started planning my wedding. Thank you SO much Sam!!!
