Stephanie and her team at Sweet Gardena were incredible to work with. After seeing her coordinate a friend’s wedding, hiring her was an easy decision. She guided us through the entire year-long planning process and was there every step of the way—offering thoughtful vendor recommendations and answering all of our questions.
On the wedding day, I was able to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment without worrying about setting up, logistics, or the timeline. That peace of mind was absolutely priceless. She is the sweetest!

Stephanie went above and beyond for us. She was there bright and early making sure everything was handled and running smoothly. She kept me fed and hydrated. She played the music for our first dances. She helped me find amazing vendors to work with. Over all just incredible.

Stephanie was the first wedding planner I ever looked into, and after talking with her, I just knew I didn’t need to look for anyone else. She’s so sweet, fun, and charismatic, and from the beginning she made us feel like we had known her for a long time, not just like we were working with a vendor. That meant so much, especially during a planning process that lasted about 2 ½ to 3 years for us.
She was there through everything—from helping me pick out my dress to going with me to alteration appointments—and always made sure I felt supported. While Jr and I were both in school, she took so much stress off our shoulders and kept everything organized and moving forward. Anytime we felt overwhelmed, she would step in and just handle things, which means more than I can explain.
On the day of the wedding, everything came together so smoothly, and we were actually able to be present and enjoy it because we trusted her completely. She truly made sure everything we had envisioned came to life, and it was all beyond beautiful. Stephanie went above and beyond for us from beginning to end, and I’m so grateful we had her through it all. I honestly couldn’t imagine doing this without her! 🩷

If you’re feeling overwhelmed planning your wedding, stop what you’re doing and hire Stephanie with Sweet Gardenia Weddings immediately. Working with Stephanie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. She was incredibly responsive and helpful—always just a quick message away with answers, ideas, or reassurance.
There were times when we were stressed or stuck, and she seamlessly took the reins and got shit done. She just handled things, and did it with such calm, confidence, and care that we could actually relax and enjoy the process.
Beyond her professionalism, she’s also just a genuinely kind, thoughtful, and fun person to have on your team. We had some hiccups with vendors, and she didn’t flinch—she stepped in, took ownership, and resolved everything quickly and gracefully.
We can’t say enough good things. 1,000/10 recommend—especially if your girly is overwhelmed. Stephanie was our secret weapon and truly made our day unforgettable.

Thanks to Stephanie, my husband and I were able to live out our dream wedding. I cannot even begin to describe her amazing work ethic and quality of work without pointing our her wonderful character as a person. Stephanie listened and connected with us in such a diligent way to make sure every detail in our wedding was impeccable. Her endless vendor connections, knowledge, and work ethic created an event that left my family and I speechless. On top of that, Stephanie communicated with us amazingly giving the fact the we lived in a complete different city. To any couple who is looking to have the most fun and beautiful experience during the planning of their wedding and most importantly on wedding day, Sweet Gardenia Weddings is the only best option!!! We are forever grateful for everything that she gave us!!

Words cannot begin to describe the amazing experience that I had working with Stephanie. My son and daughter in law had hired Stephanie after a recommendation from Bridal Connection. Stephanie went above and beyond her duties working with an autistic couple who had definite ideas about how their Star Wars themed wedding would be. Stephanie worked with them and truly heard what they wanted their special day to be. Throughout the planning she was gracious and accommodating to their dreams. The wedding was amazing and beyond our imagination in large part because of her hard work. We even had one guest who said that it was the most elegant theme wedding that she had ever attended. You can absolutely count on Stephanie to make your day magical.

I don't even know where to start.. Stephanie made what could have easily been the most hectic and stressful day a wonderful experience. I do not know what would have happened had we not had her in our corner, and I am so happy we never had to find out. She truly stepped up and showed out for us, we were supported from the moment we had our initial meeting to days after the wedding. Absolutely fell in love with her personality and huge heart, you can really tell that she loves her couples and gives it her all for their special day. Our family and friends absolutely adored her! We have had multiple people sing her praises to us, despite only meeting her in passing. We could not have done it without her, she truly helped us get to that 'I do'.
If you're not letting Stephanie take care of you on your big day, just cancel the whole thing!

Stephanie did an absolutely phenomenal job on our special day!! I’m so happy and lucky to have had her as my coordinator for the weekend. She took the reines and led the show flawlessly. No request was too big! When my bridesmaid wanted another bottle of champagne from the venue, one of my brides maids took my phone to text Stephanie to inquire for another bottle. All she did was heart the message and shortly after, she came with the champagne to keep the party going! Our families and wedding party spoke so highly of her after the wedding and what an amazing job she did. After this experience, I can’t recommend hiring Stephanie, even for the weekend, so that you can sit back and relax. We did not feel stressed at all on our wedding day thanks to her! Can’t recommend her enough!
