Empathetic, positive and hard-working.
We were unsure who to go with when it can to a Wedding planner.. I cannot imagine anyone being better than Sam! Sam organised for my wife and I to get married. The weather prevented our original plan on the day - however Sam managed to get stuck in and really made it all ok! She had a great ideas of local suppliers. Empathetic, positive and hard-working. I can't think of a safer pair of hands for your event. Highly recommend, it’s a five stars from us!

she is on top of everything
I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Sam, as a photographer, at a recent wedding. Having her there just made the day flow! Not only is she a joy to work with, and great fun, but she is on top of everything - her attention to detail and organisational and problem solving skills are second to none. The day ran smoothly, making my job so much easier - plus we had fun! I’d highly recommend South Coast Weddings to all my couples.

Such a delight to work with
I’ve worked with Sam from South Coast Weddings many times and she is such a delight to work with. Sam is very professional, polite and hard working and always makes sure her couples have the best day! I’ve created wedding stationery for a few of Sam’s couples and always dealt with Sam directly instead of the couples, and she makes every job straight forward and easy. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, Sam is the one!

Book Sam for the peace of mind
I love working with Sam! Each wedding we’ve worked at together has been super organised and planned down to the finest of details. Sam has a special ability to put you at ease and is incredibly approachable. Her years of experience in event planning mean her contacts and wealth of knowledge can bring your vision to life. Book Sam for the peace of mind that it will be absolutely perfect with her on board!

She went the extra mile
Sam was utterly excellent with a Full Plan service. She helped us to pick the venue, the suppliers, the guests and even got our photos, videos and thank you cards sorted after the wedding whilst we were on honeymoon! She went the extra mile to make sure we got what we wanted and was always happy to help. We could truly relax on the day and just focus on each other. We strongly recommend her to anyone who’s considering a wedding planner!

I’d love to work with her again!
It was great working with Sam on Craig & Samantha’s wedding at Sopley Mill! Such a lovely, down to earth lady that was an asset to the wedding day and I’d love to work with her again!

Unbelievably amazing!
Sam was the wedding coordinator for our wedding in August and she was unbelievably amazing! She was so lovely and made sure that everything thing on the day ran smoothly. We had to postpone our wedding because of COVID and Sam was so helpful with contacting the venue and keeping us in the loop with what was going on. Before the day of the wedding she contacted all of the suppliers to go through timings to make sure the day ran smoothly. On the morning of the wedding Sam was fantastic and did all the little jobs that we were worrying about. This meant that the morning of the wedding was relaxing. Thank you so much Sam, you are such a lovely person and helped us to make our day perfect. We couldn't recommend Sam enough!!

Stress free wedding day
What a lady!!!!! Sam was absolutely amazing from the minute we booked her. Due to the pandemic our first wedding got cancelled in 2020. Sam was very supportive and caring, She stayed in contact throughout and made myself the bride have hope!! When our day finally came in July 2021, she was outstanding everything went smoothly and nothing was too much for Sam she was happy to help in every way!! She was a life saver!! I highly recommend Sam at Southcoast weddings!!! We got married at Sopley Mill and she knows the venue like the back of her hand she works very well with all suppliers! If your looking for a stress free wedding day she is your lady!

Amazing!
Sam was amazing!!! We booked South Coast Weddings for on the day but she did so much more. From the day we booked her, until the end of our wedding day Sam was a total gem. She was there for every little question and down the line, every Covid wobble. When we had to change our date she was able to recommend new suppliers, and her recommendations proved spot on. On the morning of our wedding she helped us to set up and she did a fabulous job when eventually we just had to leave her to it! On the day I didn’t have to worry about anything because Sam was always there ahead of me and the day ran smoothly thanks to her. It really felt like we had a friend there, and we really couldn’t have done it without her. A total star and one of the best!!

Thanks for everything!
Ollie and I would like to say a huge thanks to Sam and her lovely sister for their on-the-day help with our wedding. We had a festival style wedding, with quite a relaxed vibe, however, whilst our guests were relaxing and lapping up our free bar, Sam and her sister were working super hard behind the scenes to make sure all was running smoothly so that all of the bridal party could enjoy the day without any worry. We'd all been working very hard in the run-up to the weekend, so the fact we could let our hair down on the day and night was such a relief. Any random task, Sam was happy to help - from first-dance confetti cannon blasting to beer-holding during photos, plus everything she helped with in the evening (I'm not too sure what that was because I wasn't made aware of any issues, nor was I needed for anything - and that's all I could ask for really!).x
