What the-e-list had to say:

I had tons of help planning the-e-fair, and plenty came in the form of the unflappable event planner, Sarah True owner of True Event.  While it never occured to me to use a wedding planner for my big day twenty something years ago (did they even exist?), a few things may have turned out differently.

I wouldn't have punched my dad or had a screaming match with my sister an hour before the ceremony. The bridesmaids bouquets would have been pink and lavender instead of yellow. My hairdresser managed to coif all the bridesmaids but ran out of time for me. My dress would have arrived sooner than the day before. My photographer shot hundreds of gorgeous photos, but not one of my grandmother and I don't think she ever forgave me. You get the picture. If I had to do it all over again (egads), I would hire an event planner to sweat the details while I enjoyed the day. Whether you've got a wedding, bar mitzvah, big birthday or other large fete looming on your calendar, event planners are not just for celebrities anymore. Sarah shared some of her secret sources with the-e-list.

So, why hire an event planner? Sarah is well acquainted with every venue, caterer, photographer, florist and stationer up and down the Shoreline (and farther afield). The value of a planner comes from the ability to match your personality with a vendor that suits your style AND your budget. She'll build your team based on your budget (and she works happily with any size) and your vision for the party. Overwhelmed by myriad options? She'll help you define your event and create a vision board for inspiration.
