  • Three Little Words was the very best money we spent on our wedding!

    We started our journey with Sam in December of 2019 and she saw us through planning long distance (we selected our venue sight unseen), 2 covid postponements, vendor changes, and ultimately a venue change less than 30 days from our wedding due to Hurricane Ida damage. Sam navigated us gracefully through all these changes and helped give us the wedding of our dreams! When the wedding day finally came around in October of 2021, it was perfect, and her hard work was visible in every detail of the day. The vendors she helped us select were incredible and the day flowed seamlessly. Sam's warm personality, and professionalism relieved so much stress throughout the wedding day and entire wedding planning process. We could not have done it without her.

  • Sam was truly AMAZING!

    We planned our Feb 2022 destination wedding in New Orleans in 4 months, during COVID, and she was just incredible from start to finish. She had impeccable vendor recommendations, was extremely familiar with our ceremony and reception venues (which helped SO much since we didn't set foot in either until the day of our wedding!), and most of all, she made us feel so at ease the entire time. Sam is calm, cool and collected, which helped me stay calm on my wedding day - if anything did go wrong, I had no idea! I cannot recommend her enough - she was incredible and made our special day as amazing as we had hoped it would be!

  • Sam is an absolute rockstar. 

    If you are at all debating on hiring Sam, stop reading this and hire her right now. My wedding planning process was a comedy of errors, I cannot even list all of the issues we had — we postponed twice due to COVID, had multiple vendors back out due to COVID rescheduling issues, and we parted ways with a different planner just 4 months prior to our wedding. Because of our initial planner hiccups, various vendors we thought we booked backed out or disappeared as soon as 3 weeks before the wedding. Despite the chaos, Sam fixed it ALL. She cannot be stopped! Sam is a doer - if you want someone you can trust to get things done without you constantly hovering or checking in, Sam is your person. Sam essentially replanned our entire wedding in just under 4 months and somehow kept me calm throughout the entire process. If Sam had bad news to break to me, she always came with potential solutions in hand. Despite the time crunch, our wedding day was beyond perfect - I am still in awe of the experience Sam created for us. We still have wedding guests tell us how unique, gorgeous and “us” our wedding day felt. Sam essentially planned a wedding in 4 months that felt like it was years in the making. She is an exceptional wedding planner and we cannot recommend her enough.
