    Samantha's the best!

    Working with Samantha on our wedding was an absolute dream. She’s responsive, organized, warm, and incredibly easy to work with. She was always quick to respond, and no task ever felt too big or too small. I also loved being able to bounce ideas off her - she always gave thoughtful, honest feedback and helped us make decisions with confidence. Since we live out of state, having Samantha as our boots on the ground was invaluable. She helped put together all of our little details and accessories, picked up things we needed locally, which made the entire planning process much easier. And on the wedding day she truly went above and beyond. She handled last-minute decor changes, battled the wind to make sure everything stayed in place, and took care of so many little details behind the scenes so that we could just enjoy ourselves. Everything came together beautifully, and we felt so well taken care of. If we could do it all over again, we’d hire Samantha a thousand times over. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone planning a wedding in Utah. She’s the best!

    I worked with Wedding Expectations for both planning and floral services for our wedding in Park City, UT and had a great experience across both services, I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in Utah! Planning - Samantha was fantastic at helping us plan and execute our wedding. She was timely in her communication throughout the entire process - she always responded to my emails within 1-2 days and was always available to jump on a call to talk about whatever I needed to discuss. I also thought all of the vendors she recommended were very high quality, which was critical for us because we were planning this wedding from out of state. She is also detail oriented and calm, which are two qualities that are critical for this job! On the day of our wedding, Samantha took care of everything in terms of vendor arrivals, set up, and tear down. She even handed out blankets to our guests when it started to get chilly in the evening! Floral - I was extremely impressed with the florals that Wedding Expectations did for us. The style that I requested was somewhat unique and was a bit different from most of the pictures that Wedding Expectations had on their website (less greenery than normal and somewhat whimsical, for example). Despite the more unique design, the W.E. team really listened to what I was looking for and executed wonderfully. Rebecca also made some suggestions during the design process about certain flower types to add and remove which also really improved the outcome. Lastly, when it was raining during our wedding day set up, the W.E. team ensured the outdoor flowers were not damaged.

She was professional, experienced, and super dialed in to the details, communication, and flow on our wedding day. She helped us handle issues that came up in the planning process with a sense of urgency and great recommendations. Forever grateful to Samantha and her team for making our day so magical!
