Above and Beyond Events

ail-oriented, and made the entire process feel seamless. I wasn’t sure if we needed a day-of coordinator since our venue, the Madonna Inn, already includes so much in their wedding package, but hiring Sophie was one of the best decisions we made. I completely underestimated how stressful a wedding day can be, and because of her, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She handled everything behind the scenes so we could be present and enjoy every moment. Sophie is so sweet and just an absolute joy to work with. I would recommend her over and over again. Even if you don’t think you need a coordinator, trust me, you do. Not only was she so helpful but also a delight to spend our wedding day with. ❤️ Thank you so much, Sophie! We LOVED our wedding day, and owe so much of that to you. 

ous person, and Sophie was so easy to work with, on top of everything, and encouraging.  Sophie, and her team, reduced so much of the stress and logistics involved in planning a wedding, and really cared for us and our big day. Absolutely hire her, you will not regret it. 

very tight-knit and focused team. On site, Cassie was calm, in charge and creative in troubleshooting anything as needed.

until she stepped up! While her help during planning was crucial, her teams real magic shined the day of the wedding. Sophie and her team showed up bright and early and took control of our family property venue and turned it into our dream. Every folded napkin, spaced chair, piece of décor, heavy tables/bars, and setup had professional thought and planning written all over it – we couldn’t believe how great of a job she did turning our vision into a reality. Where Sophie truly separates herself from the competition is the thought she puts into the couple and making their day perfect. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention something my wife and I reminisce on months later - In the joyous aftermath of being announced as a married couple for the first time, Sophie had a private high top table setup for us with our favorite cocktails, hours d’oeuvres, and marriage license (including pen). It’s the little things like that which make Sophie and her team so great at what they do – they nail the big stuff and are lights out on all the things you could have never thought of. My wife and I cannot recommend Above and Beyond Events enough and we feel indebted to Sophie for the work she did for us and the way she made our vision come to life.

where I even had multiple guests ask me who she was and complimenting how hard she was working. Case in point: Sophie arrived around 9:30am on the day of our wedding to help with set-up, and before we knew it, she was outside -- in the rain, and totally alone -- setting up tables before anybody even noticed. Throughout the entire morning and afternoon leading up to guests arriving, Sophie was an incredible help, and we constantly leaned on her for her expertise on how to best organize things and get things done. She had so many brilliant tips, but one I especially wanted to call out was how she salvaged our flower arrangements. We had a pretty DIY wedding, and all of our florals were purchased in bulk and then organized into small arrangements for the tables. Unfortunately, the weather the morning of the wedding was pretty nasty, and the wind was too strong for our little mason jars of flowers. Sophie suggested we collect rocks from around the yard to put into the bottom of the jars for extra weight; it proved not only to be an amazing solution that kept all of our vases on the table during the event, but it looked really cool, too, and I got several compliments about how unique our floral arrangements were with the black rock at the bottom. Thank you, Sophie! During the event itself, there were several times where I had planned to ask Sophie if she could do something for us, only to head over to her spot to find that she had already done it without being asked. It was pretty incredible, and I truly have no idea how we would have managed the crazy day and the many obstacles without her help and guidance. I remember when we were selecting a day-of coordinator, we figured we'd go with the absolute cheapest option since our reception was just at my parents' yard and we didn't need any wedding planning help. I met with probably 7 or 8 different options, but immediately after talking with Sophie, I told my wife I didn't care how much she cost, I really thought we should go with her because of how prepared, organized, and enthusiastic she was. She ended up somehow being a thousand times better than even my highest expectations. If you're planning a wedding in the Spokane area, you can not do better than working with Sophie, and I truly hope that everyone who reads it decides to make their wedding a billion times less stressful by having her on your team. She's simply the best.

ut us at ease. They handled every detail with professionalism and care, ensuring that our vision was fully realized — all while keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. They coordinated with our vendors, kept the timeline on track, and took care of all the little things we hadn’t even thought of. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy our day without stress or distractions.

nough.

checked in with every detail in between. So happy with our choice!

th of fresh air! They were friendly, well-organized, super helpful, and made the day fun as well as memorable for us and everyone involved! I highly recommend them and actually hope I have the opportunity to work with them again very soon!!

with seamlessly and professionally. I purchased the "month of" package and she was flexible with dates and our schedules as my wife and I lived far from where the wedding was in in Spokane, WA. Sophie was very thorough with her planning and asked me questions that I was not even aware about. It was easy to communicate and plan with her. She also recommended vendors to us that we were happy with. Her documentation was thorough and impressive with information needed for me to input. She created a timeline and seating chart as well as communicating with the venue and vendors for me. The day of the wedding, I was able to focus on my wedding day and it was magical. Sophie and her team handled everything for us, even down to little thing like holding our water bottles and helping us move the leftover cake and presents downstairs to our car from the venue. I highly recommend hiring Sophie and her team for your wedding.

made both events unforgetful for the vendors and the couples that she works with. From the first initial planning stages to the final moments, Sophie and her team were incredibly supportive and accessible. She has incredible professionalism and warmth to create an atmosphere where vendors feel comfortable to thrive. If you are looking for a wedding planner that has genuine care for her clients and vendors alike, I wholeheartedly recommend Sophie and her team!

est day is amazing to see. My staff and I always enjoy working on events with her and she goes above and beyond for everyone involved. I always recommend her to any clients looking for a planner! She is the standard!

volved. She remains courteous and kind to our team throughout the process as well, that is important to us. Highly recommend! (PRO TIP - listen to your vendors recommendations as they see more weddings than anyone!)

THE BEST day of coordinator I could have ever asked for. She helped set everything up exactly how I imagined and she ensured the entire day was absolutely perfect. I don’t think a lot of brides can say this but: I truly mean it when I say my wedding day was PERFECT, I was not stressed at all. I was able to focus on enjoying myself, not worrying about anything because of Bri! She was truly amazing. She really was there for me and I am incredibly grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend their services.

g beautiful events were unmatched. From the first meeting, Sophie made us feel confident and cared for. She listened to our ideas, offered creative suggestions, and went above and beyond to ensure every element of our day was perfect. Her calm demeanor and ability to handle even the smallest hiccups with grace and efficiency allowed us to enjoy every moment without stress. On the wedding day, Sophie orchestrated everything seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to ensuring the timeline flowed effortlessly, we were in awe of how smoothly the day unfolded. Every detail, from the décor to the flow of events, was executed flawlessly, and it was all thanks to her expertise and dedication. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning and well-organized everything was, and we owe it all to Sophie. She truly made our vision come to life and created memories we will cherish forever. If you are looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and a joy to work with, Sophie is the one. She exceeded all our expectations, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of our special day!

when it's stressful. Our first wedding together, it was 100+ degrees outside and even with the heat, she kept everything running smoothly. I highly recommend hiring her for your event! I'm looking forward to working with her again at future weddings.

o during the reception and helped us keep on track the day of! She went above and beyond what I expected, contacted all our vendors and officiant prior to the wedding and coordinated their deliveries and timelines into the master timeline that she made. Sophie decorated items that we didn’t have the time to decorate, she ensured flowers were delivered to the appropriate parties as well as hand delivering gifts. Sophie really kept everyone in line and made sure everyone was on time. She was such a blessing even transferring all our items from one room to another and helped clean up afterwards. I am so incredibly happy with hiring Sophie and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

life without any snags or issues! I couldn’t have asked for a less stressful and more smooth day, thanks to Above and Beyond! If you are considering hiring them for anything- that will one of the best decisions you could make for your wedding! :)

ly worth it. With Sophie, you get what you pay for!

ily friend or someone make sure everything got done. As the day got closer I realized how nice it would be to not be in charge of all of that and have it just get done. I also wanted to make sure that my family and wedding party weren’t spending the whole day working and got to enjoy themselves too. That’s exactly what happened for us. Leading up to the wedding I worked with Sophie to come up with a timeline and what was going to need to happen with setting up. Hailey arrived in the morning and knew just what to do! The way she set everything up looked like it came straight from my Pinterest board it was amazing. She was always there when we needed her but also somehow got everything done behind the scenes. It was like magic haha! I couldn’t imagine our big day without these two. I would 100% recommend Above and Beyond events.

ponsive and made my wedding day stress-free. Sophie took care of everything I needed during my wedding day. I would highly recommend her. My family was very impressed with her. Having her as my wedding planner was one of the best money I spent for my wedding!

e wedding but also for what she would be completing ahead of time. During the rehearsal and wedding day I was able to completely enjoy myself and Sophie handled it all behind the scenes. Everyone came up to me after and told me how amazing she was. I cannot recommend Sophie and her company enough.

edding was 100% DIY. This meant we needed to provide Sophie with a slue of weird directions; everything for setting up and managing the audio equipment for our event to helping to build the outdoor kitchen our caterer needed to use for our event. Sophie truly went above and beyond at every step of this process. From visiting the audio rental store a few days before the event to learn about the technology, to calling our DJ what seemed like 57,000 times before getting a response; Sophie was an amazing worker and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We could not believe how easy Sophie made things at every turn. Sophie did not stop working for our ENTIRE event, solving problems, being proactive, and just being so positive and uplifting to everyone in every moment. Sophie is a gift to her clients and really made a world of difference during our complicated wedding. This review and "5 stars" does not even come close to capturing our gratitude for Sophie. Please do yourself a favor and book this baddie for your event. You will be grateful you did. THANK YOU, SOPHIE!!! <3

throughout the planning process. If you're in need of a wedding coordinator or planner, I would highly recommend her!

, GET ONE. Sophie did EVERYTHING from setting up tables, decorations, helping with questions, helping the groomsmen with final looks, helping with the DJ, caterer, photographer, videographer, event venue owners, EVERYTHING. Even CLEANUP!!!! She was so sweet, understanding, and caring too. They helped with seating, some family issues, and when it started raining before the ceremony she calmed us and quickly moved the seating to the covered area. She helped answer our questions. She eased our anxieties. Above and Beyond Events was the best purchase of our entire wedding. Again, if you are debating getting a coordinator, get one! And get this coordinator, you will NOT regret.

wedding planning experience. She makes the wedding planning experience seamless and enjoyable….without the hassle and stress out of planning it by yourself. I’d love to work with her again!

vents ran smoothly, and went above and beyond her contracted duties to make sure the day was a success. When our florist did not set up the flowers, Sophie stepped up and did it all herself as well as much of the other decor. She can do it all. She was patient, professional, thoughtful, and helpful. Our parents loved her and the venue raved about her as well. We recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a planner or coordinator.

as so on top of EVERYTHING! She was communicative leading up to the wedding, the moment we talked on the phone I knew she was our day of coordinator. She was so kind and did not appear to be stressed at all! She was so incredibly calm and organized, I did not hear about a single thing my entire wedding because of her. Our venue only allowed an hour for set up and Sophie was on top of it, she set everything up with time to spare. Everything was more than I imagined because of her! There were things I didn’t have instruction for like our dessert table and pictures and she set it all up beautifully! She even took our dog the entire night, made sure he was fed and had water. I highly recommend Sophie, you can tell she’s experienced and passionate about this job. She made us feel so special and like we’ve known her forever. Hire her today before she’s booked out for your wedding date!

dding unforgettable, despite some unexpected rainy weather challenges. She seamlessly adapted to the circumstances, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly. One of the many great qualities that stood out about Sophie was her willingness to communicate and ask questions. She wanted to make sure our day was taken care of exactly how we envisioned it. Her experience and knowledge of wedding logistics was evident as she effortlessly guided us through the entire process. (And we had a massive wedding party!) Throughout the day, Sophie was a calming presence, providing reassurance and support to both us and our guests. She coordinated with all the vendors flawlessly, making sure everyone was on the same page with our timeline. We were able to fully enjoy our day, knowing that Sophie had everything under control. She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we hoped for. Thank you, Sophie, for being the MVP of our wedding day and for making it a day we will cherish forever!

rdination and she made the best day of our life run extremely smoothly. She is calm, proactive and was able to problem solve quickly when small challenges with venders took place. She jumped right in and did an incredible job organizing all the moving pieces that take place on a wedding day. We were able to immerse ourselves completely into our wedding day and Bri even saved us a bunch of dessert so we could snack post wedding! So grateful to Bri and Sophie and we definitely recommend Above and Beyond Events to other couples on their big day!!

er magic! We were truly able to step back and enjoy our wedding day knowing Sophie had everything under control. Her attention to detail, communication and ability to execute sets her apart from other vendors we worked with. A pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend Sophie for a wedding or any big event!!

teracted smoothly and professionally with the wedding venue and other vendors. Working with her allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the wedding day, knowing that she was able to handle any surprises that came up. After our event, the manager of the band said he had never seen a wedding coordinator do such an amazing job of keeping the ceremony on track with the schedule. She played a significant role in making our event a success and I would strongly recommend her.

the day of the wedding completely seamless and I (the bride) did not have to answer a single question or worry about anything. I was truly stress free which is the best gift I received! She also took on responsibilities such as being MC as we had a band and not a DJ. Everybody says something will go wrong on your wedding day but we cannot think of anything that went wrong and we have Sophie to thank for that! Thank you Sophie for all of your help and for being so detailed and resourceful - you made the day one we could enjoy from start to finish with zero stress!

g day when she is such trying to enjoy the day. Sophie came in and was organized, calm and ready to get things done. She was patient, she worked well with vendors to figure out issues, she did great under pressure and she stuck to the schedule. She was enthusiast and she was willing to help with anything and everything. She went completely out of her way to make the day extra special for me and my husband. I will always be grateful I hired her for my wedding and I highly recommend her for anyone looking!
