Testimonials:
We found Sooz through a friend’s wedding we had attended that she had been the planner for and done a beautiful job. We began working with her about a year in advance of our wedding because we had a very ambitious plan to plan (3 day summer camp, Jewish wedding weekend). Sooz was so adaptable to the ways in which we wanted to hold the planning process, with monthly check-ins and decision making together. She brought a great balance of creativity/thinking out of the box and a can-do, practical spirit. In the end, we pulled off our dream wedding and Sooz was a key part of that, even bringing other wonderful team members with her for the weekend of. She was also a great liaison when needed between our venue and us, and during the wedding weekend was a totally present super hero, bringing her skills in team leadership, physical design, and sticking to the schedule- all with a smile on her face. Anyone would be blessed to have Sooz for their wedding planning needs, and is welcome to contact us if you want to hear more.

Sooz was amazing. She helped us go from big vision to concrete reality. During the planning phases, she came with creative solutions to every meeting. She helped us get our shuttle, drivers, dj, baker and music options. She was great with communication and helping us during the most stressful parts of the process. When my partner and I would have different opinions on something, she had an incredible way of making us both feel like we were right, and then suggesting the sensible option forward.
During our wedding weekend, she brought so much infectious positivity and hard work ethic. Our friends and family loved her. The venue said, in all their years of doing weddings, they’ve never seen a wedding coordinator work harder. She put so much into the weekend and created our magical wedding festival. If you’re looking for a coordinator, look no further.

I hired Sooz to be our day-of wedding coordinator for our early March wedding at Green Valley Farm + Mill in Sebastopol. She was instrumental in making it what our friends and family called “The BEST wedding ever!” As a former event planner myself, I felt comfortable sourcing vendors and pulling together the details of catering, floral, music and ceremony, but knew I needed to hand them off to someone I could trust for the big day. We had 3-4 phone calls in the months leading up to the wedding. Two weeks prior, life started to unravel. My husband’s mom had emergency surgery and wouldn’t be able to fly, nor would the rest of his family be able to attend due to illness. We were crushed. We also had a job loss that necessitated scaling back our photography, Shabbat dinner and brunch plans. I called Sooz to bounce ideas and for moral support. She offered suggestions for a DIY dinner and brunch, and left me feeling confident that our capable community could support us in such a shifting and difficult time. She was right!
She arrived Friday afternoon to assist with setup and running the rehearsal, and was with us all day Saturday. She even stepped in to take some photos, which I really appreciated since we had to cancel our photographer to save money. Sooz is calm and collected, which had a ripple effect on me and all of our wedding party. She kept our timeline and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Our wedding was positively epic!! We couldn’t have done it without her!

I feel so lucky to have met Sooz at the right time!
Sooz was organized and kept me focused on different projects. Our wedding included a lot of DIY and friend/family help and she was able to help keep it all straight.
Sooz is fun, charismatic and composed. She will take your ideas and turn them into your dreams!
My husband and I had our dream wedding, in fact many guests remarked it was the most fun and most beautiful wedding they had every been to. That wouldn’t have been the case with out Sooz. She has the smarts, contacts and the resources to have made our wedding the dream day it was.
Thank you so much.
We now consider you so much more than our wedding coordinator, we consider you our friend
xoxo

My husband and I had decided we were going to plan our own wedding. How hard could it be? A few weeks in we realized there were more details than we could think of or had the bandwidth to figure out. After all when preparing to get married you want to be able to relax and get pampered a little.
As soon as Sooz stepped in to be our wedding planner I felt like I could take a deep breath. She handled every detail with grace and ease. Sooz was a friend, a guide and a deep support to my husband and myself. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a worthy wedding planner.
Thanks Sooz!
