    Sydney is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

    was so nervous hiring a planner to begin with because it feels costly up front, and as someone who is already a type A person I didn’t want anything to not go my way. When I say that Sydney took every thought into consideration, for planning and designing my wedding I am not exaggerating. She created a mockup for everything for me to look at and took all of the stress off of my plate. I know most brides stress during the planning process but I never felt anything but excitement literally. She brought everything we wanted to life and I cannot thank her and her coordinators enough. If you’re unsure if you should book, I’m telling you it’s worth every penny if not more!!!! My husband and I could not recommend her enough!

    The best wedding decision we made!

    We truly had no idea how much of a blessing Sydney and her team would be when we made the decision to hire a day of coordinator. It was absolutely the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding journey. Sydney took care of us thoroughly and completely from start to finish, from the suggested timeline, the vendor recommendations, the venue walk through, the planning session, tip recommendations, patience & grace with texts and questions, the rehearsal coordination, decor transportation & set up, vendor coordination to handling EVERYTHING that was in her control (including crazy heat), the day of the wedding. We were able to be completely in the moment and soak in one of the most special days of our lives. Her contributions were priceless and she quickly became a trusted friend. Thank you so much!

    Professional and fun to work with

    Working with Sydney was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Sydney stayed organized, professional, and truly cared about making our vision come to life. She made sure every detail was thoughtfully planned and her communication was excellent. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Sydney's creativity, dedication, and attention to detail/design exceeded our expectations by a long shot. We are incredibly grateful for all of her hard work and highly recommend the company to anyone looking for a wedding planner who genuinely goes above and beyond. Thank you for making our special day absolutely perfect Sydney!

    The best part of our wedding day

    On the wedding day itself, my husband and I didn't worry about a single logistical detail. If there were behind-the-scenes hiccups, we never knew about them because everything was handled so proactively. You can't put a price on actually being fully present to enjoy your own wedding, and they gave us that gift. If you are on the fence about booking, stop looking and hire them immediately.

    The best planner there is

    Choosing Golden Hour Weddings & Events as our planner was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, our planner took our scattered ideas and transformed them into something beautiful, all while keeping us calm and organized through the whole process. The biggest lifesaver was how she handled our reception room flip, we had a super tight window to transform our ceremony space into the dining room, and she coordinated the vendors like clockwork. She's so much more than just a planner; she's a rock under pressure and knows how to navigate every moving part of a wedding day without stressing you out. Her quick communication, helpful attitude, and availability made all the difference when obstacles came up. We honestly can't thank her enough for making our day so special.


For full-service planning, we recommend reaching out 12 to 18 months before your target wedding date. For day-of coordination, most couples secure their date with us 6 to 9 months in advance.
This depends on your package! Full-service clients enjoy regular, continuous collaboration throughout the planning lifecycle. For coordination clients, we typically kick off our official planning phase about 4-6 months out with a deep-dive consultation, followed by venue walkthroughs and final timeline reviews.
All weddings will always have 2 coordinators on site the day of the wedding. Depending on size of the wedding we can always bring in more coordinators as we see fit.
Our packages are tailored to the scope of your event, guest count, vendors needed, and design needs. We offer flat-fee pricing for our core coordination and planning packages. Reach out via our contact form to request our detailed investment guide, or send us a message.
Yes! A 50% deposit is due at the date of signing the contract, to secure your date. The remaining 50% of the total amount, is due no later than 1 month before the wedding.
