“Samantha is an absolute dream, and was the blessing we didn’t realize we needed. In the midst of the pandemic wedding planning craze, Samantha came into our lives and instantly made them better. Samantha’s organization was key to everyone’s success in our wedding. Her timelines, check-ins, and patience all allowed for our vision to be brought to life. When hiring Samantha, you get so much more than a planner. She genuinely cares about all aspects of your event, from every fine detail to each big moment, and cares about your love as a couple. She is the professional every couple needs behind them on their big day. We truly had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, and just got to enjoy the day as it unfolded, and it was a dream all thanks to Sam! As at most events, issues arise but Samantha is your woman to problem solve and take on any and all challenges with grace and professionalism. Being a To Be Loved couple is an experience any couple would dream of! Samantha has truly become family, and will leave a lasting impact on any relationship she works with. To Be Loved by Samantha as a couple means your wedding is in the best hands, and will be cared for just as you had hoped. Hiring her was single handledly the best decision we made across our wedding planning process. We couldn’t have done it without her!”

“I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Hiring Samantha and To Be Loved as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. She was always there when we had questions, needed advice on vendors, and really just guided us through everything. She read all the fine details in our contracts that we overlooked, and communicated this with us clearly and concisely. She really was ESSENTIAL to our wedding being so perfect. On the day of, she was attentive to every detail and worked so seamlessly with all of our vendors. For all the work she did, her rate was a complete bargain. If you're getting married in SoCal, Samantha and her crew at To Be Loved will make it truly perfect. 1000x recommend!”

“Sam was everything we were looking for in a wedding planner - calm, supportive, and super organized. We can’t even count the number of times we said the wedding wouldn’t have happened without her. As two extraordinarily busy people, we knew we needed a wedding planner to help pull it together. With the wedding at a private residence, literally every detail had to be picked and brought in, and Sam made sure it all happened. She understood our vision and helped bring it to life. Throughout the year we worked together, she always brought us a couple options for vendors (but not too many :)), gave us her advice, and answered any questions we had to help us make the right choices. On the day of, I can’t even count the number of details she and her assistant paid attention to that we didn’t even think needed tending to, but that really made the event a level above and beyond elegant. Sam really was our rock throughout the process and we couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with her!!”

“Samantha is truly made for this job! Not only were we impressed, but so many of our guests and especially our family and bridal party haven’t stopped talking about how amazing she is. We were both so calm the day of our wedding because we knew she had everything under control. Every detail was thought out and executed perfectly. We quite literally did not have one single hiccup on wedding day because of how well everything was planned so meticulously in the months and weeks leading up to our big day. Samantha will always be the best decision we made and we are so lucky not only that we chose her but that she also chose us!”

“Samantha worked with us a couple months out from our wedding and did all of our day-of coordination. She was so sweet, so quick to respond to our messages, and we loved that she used Aisle Planner and her (very extensive!) timeline to keep everything incredibly organized throughout the planning process. When the day of our event finally came, she did a truly amazing job coordinating all of our vendors and making sure everything went smoothly - the event went off without a hitch and our bridal party still comments on how organized the event was! We're so thankful for her help answering questions and managing logistics for what can often be a very complex and overwhelming process. She handled every step with class and professionalism and we couldn't have pulled off the short planning process without her. Highly recommend her!”
