Six Stars
Working with Marshall and The Wedding Coach was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They were attentive and to the point in their communication, ensuring we were always on the same page. The quality of their work and the value they provided was great - they were a pleasure to work with. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond, restocking our drink supply without us even asking and bringing us snacks to keep us fueled through the hustle and bustle. Eight years later, we're still grateful for their exceptional service, which is why we were happy to write this review at Marshall's request. We highly recommend The Wedding Coach to any couple planning their special day.
Best officiant ever!!!
Working with The Wedding Coach, Sanford, was such a personalized and meaningful experience from start to finish. His communication style was personal, funny, and really helped us reflect on what was most important for our special day. The questionnaire he sent us was so thoughtful - it helped us plan an intimate, fantastic, and fully customized wedding celebration. Sanford gave us an unforgettable experience, and by the end of the night, our guests were asking how we met him because he felt like our best friend. We couldn't recommend The Wedding Coach more highly for couples looking for a truly special and customized wedding planning experience.
Best Decision We Made!
Hiring Sanford Marshall, The Wedding Coach was by far the best decision we made for our wedding! He consistently went above and beyond to ensure all details of our vision were actualized. He took the time to get to know us on a personal level and incorporated what he had learned into a magnificent ceremony that encapsulated the tone we were striving to convey perfectly. He was responsive and unflinching amidst changing requirements, even in the weeks preceding the wedding. We are certain to use his services in the future for planning additional events and know they will turn out just as well.
Everything You Need in a Wedding & Event Planner
The Wedding Coach is an excellent wedding and event planning company! Sanford and his team go to great lengths to make our vision into reality. His team is meticulous about every planning detail, efficient with our time (we're busy people and he maximizes every planning moment!), and the Wedding Coach makes the entire process of event planning fun and enjoyable without any stress! We have hired him for over 10 years and will continue to do so! Weddings, graduations, birthdays - we trust The Wedding Coach with our most important life milestone events and the team always delivers in creating memories that last. Our vendors love him, our guests love him, and my family and I are happy to give The Wedding Coach our highest recommendation!
