Testimonials

"I would absolutely recommend working with Angie and her Sapphire Celebrations team! I am a Denver native, however, I currently live in Nashville. Angie was so helpful in scouting venues and vendors for us, and be our local eyes and ears for our Colorado Springs wedding. I was a bride with a lot of "ideas". She would listen to each one and help me source it for the wedding with a smile. Having her be on our team from the rehearsal dinner through the following Sunday allowed for all of us to enjoy ourselves, as she handled any and all curve balls. By the end, my family started referring to her as our second mother! Thank you again Angie, your truly helped make our wedding weekend perfect!"
   - Jackie and Andrew

"As someone who is very controlling, I was worried about giving in and letting someone else manage all the details of my wedding day. But, let me just say, I am SO glad I had Sapphire Celebrations by my side throughout the entire process. From vendor recommendations to handling all the nitty gritty details/contracts, they helped us navigate all corners of the planning spectrum with ease. They also helped ensure that my vision came to life, even though I have a very opinionated and stubborn mother. Truly cannot recommend them enough - if you are looking for an energetic, organized and knowledgeable planner, look no further! They are the best of the best, and I cannot thank them enough for the role they played making our wedding perfect!"
   - Jessica and Dalton

Sapphire Celebrations was so professional and attentive during the entire planning process. They eased so much of the wedding planning stress, and I completely trusted that they had everything taken care of!
