Sapphire Celebrations

Angie was very great to work with! She has great relationships with excellent vendors and was able to help book the very best! She helped create and plan not only the wedding we had in mind, but way beyond it!!

Angie provided excellent planning and advice for my daughter's wedding. She carefully determined what our budget was and helped prioritize our goals. She directed us to potential vendors. Angie was always available to us by telephone or email. She arranged a detailed schedule for the week of the wedding and the wedding day. On the wedding day she was amazing...completely organized and in control. As the mother of the bride I had the most wonderful time because Angie took care of me and the bride!I would completely and unreservedly recommend Angie!!

I was not someone who had spent anytime prior to getting engaged, thinking about my wedding. I had no idea what needed to be done or where to start. The best decision I made was hiring Angie as my wedding planner. While the wedding process can never be completely without stress, Angie made life easier and helped me find vendors that provided the best service at the best price. Angie always provided a good variety of vendors who could meet with us on our time schedule. As a result we had the perfect wedding, my mom got to be involved with out being overwhelmed, and both of our parents got got relax and enjoy!

Sarah was fabulous and I am not sure how I would have done this without her. She was full of helpful suggestions, adjusted to my style quickly. She was fun, dealt with situations professional and quickly as they occured and was responsive to me, my family and friends. She was fantastic and helped with the changes related to the rain.My one comment related to Pam, she appeared to be very worked up. Since she did not know the players, she told the Groom to get out there and start seating the guests. Then she tried to get my Mother out of the way as she was walking my down the isle. Be careful of who you are demanding duties of or who you are telling to get out of the way.

As a person (and as a bride) I have extremely high expectations. I am a control freak and organizational queen. With that said, it is extremely hard for me to hand things over to anyone else and especially my wedding. However, I gladly did when it came to working with Pam and Tinny. I instantly trusted them from the start, they have that calming, warm "mom" feeling... not in a bad way, more of like "everything is going to be okay" kind of feeling. I trusted that everything I asked of Pam would happen. And it did. I didn't worry for one moment if something would get handled or if it would be there when I turned around. I just simply knew it would be exactly as I hoped and planned because I knew Pam was the one handling it.Pam and Tinny are the team to have. Aside from the fact that they are so much fun to work with, they are true professionals and they get IT done. My hubby and I had a wonderful time doing a weekend of walk-throughs with them and everything in between leading up to our big day. It was their first time working on our wedding venue in Aspen and it was as if they'd "been there, done that", no problem. It really was an easy process and I recommend them to anyone. I/we have absolutely NO complaints, just a big smile when I think about what an awesome experience it was!

We worked with Angie Johnston from Sapphire Celebrations. We could not have asked for a better planner. During the planning process we came across several bumps in the road. Angie handled each one in a timely fashion, and solved every issue with the utmost professionalism. Come the actual wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a more smooth process. She helped everything stay right on schedule, and made sure our day was absolutely perfect! We would recommend her services to anyone in need of a wedding planner.

Thank you for your help. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect. From the very first day of planning to the end of the reception, Sapphire Celebrations was involved in making sure that all was in order. They worked with us through the hundreds of details and was there on the "day-of" to make sure the wedding matched our vision. They have a passion for what they do and we are grateful that they were a part of our big day.

Although I wish that I could give this vendor the glowing review that they seem to have received from previous clients I cannot, in good conscience, do so. I received a phone call from them along with Villa Parker (who was amazing!!!) in regards to a wedding that would be at relatively no cost as they were offering me and my (then) fiance the opportunity to be involved in "Marry the Military". I feel that from the beginning there were promises made by Pam that were not even close to being followed through with. I feel that it is possible that because we were receiving a $5,000 value service for zero dollars that we were treated as if we were asking the world and did not deserve it. My mother and I spend a good deal of time planning the wedding on our own due to complete lack of communication between ourselves and Pam. Thank goodness for the wonderful people of Villa Parker and their great ability to help out because if it was not for them we would have had a disaster. We felt as if the TRUE planning for the wedding (On Pam's part) was not even started until a month ahead of time. There were issues with things that we had requested that were not given to us until weeks out. It was a horrible time trying to find centerpieces that matched what we wanted with only a few weeks to go. We constantly were wondering if we were going to have what we had really wanted. It seemed that cost was an issue, when to us this was not the case. Especially if we were to have the wedding that we dreamed of. When the big day cam there were tables on the dance floor (not sure how this works?) There were other issues and again had Villa Parker not been so extremely wonderful we would have not been able to pull our vision off. I must caution people when using this vendor. Although, from the reviews it looks as though if you are a paying customer you'll get the world.

Imagine getting in a major car accident before your wedding rehearsal and missing the entire run through. Would everyone know what to do? Would it be what you envisioned even if you weren't there to help put it together?That's what happened to us: an accident right before rehearsal that caused my hubs and I to miss nearly the entire thing. We had just gotten the totaled car towed away, then made our way up to the event site 3 hours late to find that everything was running ...perfectly.Pam, our coordinator from Sapphire had handled everything. Showing the large wedding party around the grounds, practicing with the ring bearers and flower girls, giving instructions. Pam was beyond helpful. She was professional, calming, and went above and beyond to take care of the guests, the wedding party, our family's and us. Pam did everything from bringing water for guests on our warm summer wedding, to creating our centerpieces, to meeting with Jon and I multiple times to ensure that everything was running on point. The night before my wedding I was going to finish tying programs together, and Pam took them from me stating "that tonight is about your friends and family, not tying programs". She tied all 200 of them without a second thought. On our wedding day Pam and her assistant were working harder than I could have ever imagined. It was a hot day, but they fluidly set up the venue, organized our wedding party, our DJ, our cake cutting and our guests. The entire time she was responsive, flexible, creative and kind. If it were possible to give her more stars I would. Thank you Pam, for EVERYTHING!

The day of the wedding was super stress free. They took care of everything!

Thank goodness I hired Sapphire Celebrations for my daughters wedding. Twenty-four hours before the wedding our venue was closed by the fire department. Sapphire Celebrations immediately found us a new location and organized all of the vendors involved with a new plan. The morning of the wedding I received emails from Sapphire Celebrations with the new itinerary. Tamara had worked through the evening and was able to calm my daughter down through all of the excitement. We felt like all vendors involved had gone the extra mile to make the wedding seem like this was the original plan. It was a wonderful wedding and a wonderful day thanks to Sapphire Celebrations.

Angela at Sapphire Celebrations was a doll! She made sure every detail was taken care of during the planning process and during the day of. She made our vision a reality, which is the tagline of the company and exactly what they do. Angela is caring, thoughtful and creative--not to mention organized and punctual. I was new to the area, and knew that I needed a planner. We spent a long time looking for exactly the right match, and Angela and Sapphire Celebrations truly were that right match. We're both very thankful for how beautiful she helped our special day to be.

I worked with Angie, I planned my wedding in Colorado while living in Iowa. She was such a great help and was always there to give advice and was very flexible and had great ideas. I highly recommend her, she was my angel on my wedding day and everything ran smoothly.

As many brides can confirm, weddings can be very stressful and hectic. Weddings are a strange blend of beauty and glamor with stress and chaos as we attempt to plan, schedule, and organize all things "wedding". I owe my entire wedding success to Pam at Sapphire Celebrations. Not only did she provide exceptional wedding experience and knowledge, she also became a close friend of whom I felt I could discuss wedding matters with openly and honestly. She listened to my ideas, provided great suggestions, and worked harder than any other vendor in my wedding. She even ran back to my room to grab all the forgotten bouquets (while wearing heels)!!! Simply put: if you want incredible, professional, personable gals to HELP you with your wedding... look no further Sapphire Celebrations is who you want to pick!

Tami from Sapphire Celebrations was our Day of Coordinator and after 4 months I'm still talking about how amazing she was. I originally wasn't sure I needed to hire a wedding coordinator, but it was one of the best decisions I made.Tami handled several unplanned things that came up and truly saved my wedding day. She definately knows wat she's doing and made everything flow perfectly, I absolutely couldn't have done it without her. Thank you Tami and Sapphire Celebrations!!

I could never have planned my long-distance wedding without all the help from Pam at Sapphire Celebrations. She was a treasure... helped me stay on top of what I needed to do (oh, you have to PAY vendors?)... and full of great suggestions, recommendations and ideas. She took care of so many details, helped us find the perfect location for our wedding, and made our wedding day a dream. I didn't worry about anything, because I knew Pam would take care of all of it! She did a great job, and if one single thing went awry on our wedding day, we were none the wiser because she took care of it without incident! To top it all off, she's a pleasure to work with... and someone I really enjoyed sharing my wedding day with.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how wonderful Pam was to work with. I hired Pam at the beginning of my decision process (11 months out). She was always on the ball and new exactly what was going on at all times. She kept me cool and collected so that during the day of the ceremony, there was nothing for me to do except be relaxed and enjoy the day. She always had the answer to everything. She has also helped with a vendor issue 14 months afer the wedding. The best money that I spent.
