Savoir Faire Weddings

We hired Stephanie and her assistant Jordan to be the hostesses for our reception at our daughter's wedding. They were a fantastic team! As soon as they arrived, I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding. I didn't have to think that the all the food would be beautifully displayed, the ice cream bar set up and maintained, and all the dishes cleared and washed. They were wonderful and was so thankful to have found them to serve at our reception!

We worked with Jordan since Stephanie was already booked for another wedding. Jordan kept everything right on schedule while being incredibly sweet and helpful. She was also able to take charge when we had a couple of incidents with the HOA manager. She was very professional and did a fabulous job representing the company!!!

Stephanie is an amazing coordinator! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We were trying to plan a destination wedding from St. Louis, MO, and there is NO way I could have done it without her! She took care of all the vendors and details, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing on our big day (which was worth it's weight in gold)! Thank you Savoir-Faire Weddings!!!

The Savoir Faire team (specifically Stephanie and Yumi) is amazing. I used this company as my wedding coordinator for my "day of" needs. I did not have to lift a finger on my wedding day...I did not have to worry about a single thing for that matter. Yumi met and directed the venue event coordinator, pastry chef, florist, and photographer. Further, she took all of my decorations and center pieces from my hotel room and set up the wedding site. She also made sure everything, to include wedding gifts were returned to my parents' room at the end of the evening. Again, I cannot recommend Savoir Faire Weddings enough. They truly made my day spectacular!

Stephanie and her team were great to work with through my planning process. She was so quick to respond to all my questions and made planning a destination wedding so much fun. The day of my wedding I didn't worry about a thing because I knew she would take care of everything! Thank you Savoir Faire Weddings!

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT STEPHANIE!!!!! The only thing is that we didn't get to spend enough time with this awesome lady because we live in Ohio. Stephanie handled it all and we showed up for our special day and everything was on autopilot and what a beautiful wedding it was!! Guests still call it a "Fairy Tale Wedding" ~~ Thank you Stephanie for making our special day run so smooth and be everything and more what we expected!! :)

Stephanie was excellant! She was very professional and great with suggestions. Since we live in Kentucky, my daughter's wedding in Destin FL was a destination wedding. Stephanie was our contact with all the other vendors and did a wonderful job. She was so very helpful the day of the wedding, we could not have done it without her. She remained calm and accomodating throughout the day. She was so easy to work with and really saw to it that my daughter's vision of her wedding day came true. She's a real gem!

Stephanie Tate is wonder woman! We couldn't have pulled off our beach side, carnival themed wedding with out her. She went above and beyond the call of duty through the whole planning process. From negotiating with vendors to stringing ribbon through our chair backers and setting up the candy table. It would be impossible for me to list all the amazing details she helped us pull together. If you are looking for a wedding planner full of passion for your event with a dash of sweetness and a zest for organization Stephanie is your girl!!

Stephanie was amazing and my wedding day was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. We were on a tight budget but no one could tell with the way that Stephanie used her professionalism and excellent connections to bring our big day together. All the vendors that she recommended were great to work with. Flowers gorgeous, food excellent (our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and how beautifully it was displayed), great DJ, etc. The day was so flawless and organized, we truly couldn't have done it without her.

People may view hiring a wedding coordinator as an added expense, but hiring Stephanie saved us time, money and a lot of stress!!

I dont even know where to start to tell you how AMAZING Stephanie is. From the moment we first talked on the phone I felt like I was talking to someone I had known my whole life about planning my wedding. You just click with her. She was with us from the very beginning and we could not be more thankful and appreciative of everything she did. She is very dedicated to your wedding and responds almost immediately to any email, text or phone call. From helping choose a florist to holding your bouquet while you fix your hair she was right there for everything. The wedding night was so smooth and perfect due to her organization of everything that happens on a wedding day. I TRULY enjoyed every second of my wedding planning with Stephanie and was very sad when it was over :( If you choose Savoir Faire weddings you will not be disappointed. She is the best of the best 100%!!!

Stephanie was fabulous !! Very organized and worth her weight in gold. The bride and groom could not have done it without her. She had us right on target for everything. Even on the beach for those sunset pictures at the right time. The mother of the bride did not have to worry about a thing. Book her if you can get her !! She is the BEST !!!!!!!

I truly don't know what I would have done without Stephanie for our wedding which took place on November 13th, 2010 in Blue Mountain Beach, Florida. Her easy-going nature, fantastic contacts, vendor negotiation skills and personable style helped me remain relatively stress-free during the tightly packed 6 month engagement period until the big day. And on our wedding day, she blew me away with how efficiently things were run. I am a Project Manager by profession and had 2 other project managers who attended my wedding and both of them said this was the smoothest run wedding they've ever witnessed. It was extremely smooth from my standpoint as well so that all I had to worry about leading up to the moment of walking down the aisle was when I should saunter up from the beach and start putting on my wedding dress! All else was taken care of by Stephanie and her fantastic team. Highly recommend.

Stephanie was a wonderful planner and I recommend her to anyone.

I have to say that Stephanie is great at what she does. She just made my life so much easier. She contacted everyone for me and gave me so many great ideas. When planning a destination wedding it can get overwhelming, but with Stephanies help everything went so smoothly. She also returns every call and every email in a timely manner.

On the day of the wedding it was raining so hard and I had no back up plan for my beach wedding what so ever...Stephanie called me several times to make me feel at ease about everything and to let me know my options. The day cleared up and my wedding was beautiful.

I would highly recommend anyone planning a destination wedding to get a planner and Stephanie Tate is the only way to go:)

Planning a destination wedding is not the easiest task, but with Stephanie's help, she made it a seamless process! She recommended the best vendors in the area and everyone I talked to reinforced how lucky I was to have her as my planner - I could not have agreed more! Throughout the entire planning process, she always helped answer my questions right away and gave me the best advice. On the day of, she went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect and went according to plan, down to the smallest detail of making sure the restrooms were equipped with decorative paper towels! I do not know how I would have managed without her that day and I will be forever grateful to her and all the work she did for our wedding.

I am so fortunate to have retained Stephanie at Savoir Faire Weddings for my wedding! She is worth EVERY penny of her cost! Knowing that we were worried about the budget, she was able to save us money where we could, but not once did we sacrifice anything that was important to us. She went above and beyond to make sure that my wedding was exactly as envisioned...down to the details of the kids' table and fire pit.

Finding Stephanie was a true miracle! Planning a destination wedding is no easy task but with Stephanie’s help our vision of a dream wedding became reality! Her impeccable attention to detail, passion for her work, and boundless energy were directly reflected in our beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. From the services she provides, to her overall responsiveness, professionalism, value, and flexibility, Stephanie is nothing short of amazing!

Stephanie was great. She was an incredible resource for me as I planned my wedding from 3000 miles away. She responds to emails and phone calls very quickly and always makes you feel like a priority. She was great when we came into town for a planning weekend a few months before the wedding and brought our entire family, she didn't ever seem frazzled by the meriad of ideas being thrown at her (none of which were relevant). She made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch and I can't thank her enough. During the process of planning she makes you feel like a friend and it was so awesome to work with such a wonderful person during a time that can be rather stressful at times.

Stephanie went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day would be flawless. She did such a wonderful job and was on top of everything the entire day! I can honestly say I don't know what we would have done without her!!! The communication in the months leading up to the wedding was great. She would answer her phone any time of day and respond to emails incredibly fast. You made our wedding perfect :) What a blessing you were, Stephanie. Thank you so much!!!!

I loved working with Savoir Faire Weddings planning my big day - Stephanie helped me with "day of" services, but she went above and beyond to make sure my wedding day was just as I wanted and that I didn't get stressed the week before! She is fabulous!

We rented benches through Stephanie at Savoir Faire Weddings and everything was perfect with their service. Quick quote, ease of payment and the benches were there as expected and they looked like new.

During the planning process we hired Bella Flora Flowers Everywhere, Carillon Beach, for our flowers and planning in July 2008 for our wedding in May 2009. I would not recommend using them for anything. They were unresponsive and extremely disorganized. Once we finally did get in touch with them in January, we found out we no longer had a planner. Having paid for this service already, we began searching for a new planner. Stephanie came highly recommended and we see why. Hiring her was the best and most important decision we made. She is extremely organized and did more work for us in the three months in hiring her than the seven months of working with Bella Flora. Stephane responded to all emails and phone calls immediately. She is knowledgeable and willing to offer advice and suggestions during the process. She and her assistant worked so hard the day of our wedding to carry out every detail. Several of our guests commented on how organized the wedding and reception were. Thanks to Stephanie, it all come together with ease. We appreciate her work for us and highly recommend her services. It was well worth the cost, the best investment we made.

Stephanie's husband Bill Tate was our officiant. He was on time, friendly, accommodating, and overall good guy. They allowed us to write our whole ceremony script and provided ideas of how to best do it. I didn't use Stephanie for the wedding planning, but I have been told by my other vendors that she is amazing. Really great prices too. I would highly recommend that you use Bill as your officiant.

I have to just say Stephanie Tate surpassed all of my expectations for our wedding day. We decided with a destination wedding, it would be really beneficial to have a coordinator and I can tell you now it is absolutley ESSENTIAL! Stephanie had such great connections with the local vendors from our photographer, dj, caterer, florist, cake baker to the hair/makeup artist. She really knew our personalities and matched us up with all the right people. She was able to save us money with various vendors so it really is worth the expense of hiring a coordinator. I do not think there is any way I could have done it without her. She had such a great vision of what we wanted, I would send pictures via the knot and facebook and it gave her an idea of what we wanted. When I walked up the day of my wedding to walk down the aisle, I was blown away by how it all came together so beautifully, it was everything and more of what we had envisioned! And on the wedding day, it was so helpful to have her there to coordinate the ceremony and reception to let us know what we were doing and where we needed to be.
Stephanie took so much time out to meet with my us on weekends when we would come into town the year leading up to the wedding and she was always just a phone call or email away with any questions or concerns. I hope that when you are choosing someone to plan your special day, you will choose Stephanie and let her make your dream wedding come true. She's just great at what she does and I promise you'll be so happy with the outcome!

Thanks!

The only reason Stephanie did not get a perfect score is that she was not present when the vendors started arriving at the reception site to set up and this caused us some problems. However, that being said, the wedding would never have been the wonderful event it was without Stephanie's contacts, ideas, listening skills, insight, and professionalism.

These Girls are on their game and you cannot give your self a better wedding gift than to hire them to coordinate your wedding !

I am so pleased and honored to have worked with Stephanie and Jordan on several events. These Girls are on their game and go way above the call of duty to make certain that each bride's wishes are met and exceeded. Hiring these girls is the best wedding gift you can give yourself.

Stephanie is fun to work with and will ensure all your details are taken care of on your wedding day.

We've worked on numerous weddings of every variety, size, and budget so we've experienced many styles in wedding coordination and Savoir Faire is one of the best we've ever worked with. Stephanie is highly organized and incredibly detailed with beautiful creative ideas for your wedding! I have a very select list of the best professionals that I recommend for wedding coordinating and Savior Faire is at the top! Highly Recommended!

As a photographer, time management and organization during a wedding are invaluable tools. When I shoot a wedding with Savoir Faire Weddings, I know they will provide that. This is so important as it insures that all vendors can work more efficiently for the couple!
Stephanie and her professionals are on the job nonstop from before the wedding all the way until the couple leaves the venue. They provide the other vendors with accurate and up to date information and gently glide the day so that the bride and groom are able to enjoy their wedding.
Don't try to do it yourself. If you want to truly enjoy your day, allow Savoir Faire to provide you peace of...

Stephanie is a top notch planner whose organizational skills are amazing! I really enjoy working with her and since we work in the same building, I can attest to the fact that she's a great person who really takes care of her couples.

I just had another bride tell me how great Stephanie was to work with---it was the 3rd one in about 2 months now. Apparently this bride flew down from the West Coast and hired Stephanie on Friday morning. By Saturday evening, she had met with florists, photographers, caterers, venue, and scheduled her trial run for hair and makeup with us before her flight out on Sunday. The bride and her fiance were impressed with Stephanie's professionalism, sense of urgency, and coordination skills. I have to say that I hear that from all of her brides. I don't think you can go wrong with SFW!

We have worked with Stephanie several times in the past year, and each event was beautiful and went off without a hitch. We look SO forward to working with her again this year!
