We wanted big and bold and wow did she deliver!! Everything was absolutely gorgeous. We could not recommend her enough - We have photos displayed in our house and people still compliment how beautiful the flowers are!! Her team was promptly on time and efficient setting everything up, even in the San Francisco wind! She also suggested that the centerpieces for the dinner table be used outside to line the aisle which worked perfectly! The doorway to the venue wasn't quite big enough to bring the arch through but that was no problem for her and her team, it's almost as if it magically appeared inside which I know means her team worked hard and deconstructed and reconstructed the complete arch after the ceremony inside right on time for dinner - amazing professionals!!

From the initial consultation, we were drawn to Sachi & Maja over other planners because Lisa…read morebrought a lot of excitement about our concept. Then we got linked with Maggie who was a dream to work with. We got married in May 2026 and opted for full planning as our wedding idea was a bit out of the ordinary with the dance floor being replaced with bunch of other entertainment, meaning coordinating with a bunch of separate vendors. It also narrowed down which venues would fit our needs, but Maggie found a bunch of options for us, finding even more until we were 100% sure. That was basically how all of the vendor picking went and it was really easy to be able to choose from a filtered list of solid picks. Maggie really helped turn our concept into reality. We basically described the vibes of the vision we were going for and Maggie showed us a design deck that was 90% there. We discussed a few tweaks and then showed up to our wedding exactly as it was imagined in our heads! Maggie was also our day-of coordinator and the day was completely stress free (not an exaggeration - if anything was going wrong, we never knew about it). She had put together a full schedule for all the vendors and us which was easy to follow even when we weren't together (Maggie was at the venue super early to coordinate set up while bridal party was doing beauty). Everything went exactly as planned and we had a really great time!

TLDR: S&M may be better suited for smaller events with fewer vendors and simpler design. For our multi-layered event in May 2026 requiring proactive management, detailed coordination, and high-level organization, we found the services did not meet the standards promised in our contract. Pros: Our assigned planner was personable and willing to help. She coordinated vendors, created 3 layouts for our wedding weekend (only 1 was required), ran rehearsal & venue/showroom visits, picked up a birthday cake outside her scope, folded napkins the night before, and was receptive to feedback and improvement during the process. Cons 1. Design services were delayed and not fully delivered Our contract included event design services and a completed design plan. We had our first design meeting in mid-July, but did not receive a design presentation until late October (~3.5 months later). We were shown a partial design deck, but we never received the deck itself (partial or final) despite asking for it. The client dashboard link to the deck also remained broken throughout. 2. Vendor sourcing support was limited and delayed I sourced ~90% of our vendors and only requested help with florals and ceremony sound. After a planned leave, the planner gave us floral quotes in mid-November (over a month after her return). Of 3 options, one florist was unavailable and another did not provide delivery or on-site setup (both non-starters). Further, sound options were not provided. We ultimately had to source both florist and ceremony sound ourselves. 3. Guest flow and cocktail hour were not effectively managed Guest flow was within the planner's scope, but guests were not guided to the cocktail lawn after the ceremony. Multiple guests reported confusion and went directly to the reception area. The oyster vendor also confirmed guests bypassed the cocktail space. As a result, expensive key elements--an oyster station and floral arrangements--were largely unseen. Oysters had to be discarded and guests later expressed dismay at missing it. 4. Décor execution failures Weeks before the event, I provided detailed written décor instructions, especially for pieces that I had spent months sourcing. I asked the planner several times to confirm that my directions were clear, and I asked about her plan to execute. Despite her reassurances, key items were never used. Discovering these high-effort, expensive elements still unused after the event was heartbreaking and a waste of significant resources. 5. Communication and organization issues There were recurring delays in communication and there was apparent difficulty tracking information already provided. Emails were oftentimes delayed or noted as being "stuck in outbox." We received little proactive guidance on vendor & rental timelines and had to determine many milestones ourselves. I gave her full access to emails, contracts, and other key information, yet I was asked for information already provided. For example, I shared a Google Sheets seating chart (w/ guest counts, dietary restrictions, table assignments), yet she later asked for RSVP counts. In another case, I provided a detailed rental revision list to her, and she forwarded incorrect revisions. I scrambled to review her email to ID all required corrections. I gave her feedback, and she made efforts to improve afterward. 6. Weather and guest comfort planning felt reactive For our outdoor daytime event in Sonoma, we repeatedly raised concerns about shade and umbrellas, incl. warnings from the rental company about limited availability in May. The venue also recommended renting umbrellas. By the time the planner tried to add them, inventory was limited, requiring time-consuming substitutions. We ultimately had to purchase an umbrella and stand ourselves to avoid further delays. We had a frank conversation with S&M post-event. Out of the $11,800 fee we paid for the partial planning package, Lisa (the owner) initially offered to return the tip I had given to the planner plus $450 from her personal account as the refund. I shared with her that $450 was not sufficient given the scope/degree of the issues and that the tip shouldn't count towards the refund. She later sent me an additional $1,350 (for a total refund of $1,800). Lisa told me she wasn't involved in the process, so no real supervision had taken place. We chose S&M to help alleviate the stress of a complex event. Unfortunately, we felt like we had to supervise and check the planner's work and proactively dedicate the level of attention to our event that we didn't feel we were getting. While the planner was receptive to feedback, execution on the day of the event did not reflect the level of management and organization that we expected based on our contract. To couples out there, best of luck in deciding. And congratulations!

From the moment we walked in on our wedding day, the florals were nothing short of stunning and dripping with the elegance we had always imagined. What set Ashley and Katie apart was their extraordinary attention to detail. Every arrangement was thoughtfully crafted, but what really blew us away was that they customized each table arrangement to match the theme of its individual table card. Guests loved it so much that they made it a mission to see what each and every table looked like. It's that level of care and artistry that elevates florals into something truly unforgettable. Ashley and Katie's quality, professionalism, and creative talent speak for themselves. They listened, they understood our vision, and then they exceeded it (and even came in clutch for a last second arrangement for the bridal shower)! Six months later, people still talk about how they have never seen flowers as beautiful as they saw at our wedding. If you are looking for a florist who approaches their craft like a true artist, we cannot recommend Ash + Oak highly enough.

When it was my turn to get married, I asked for a quote but couldn't get myself to spend thousands of dollars on flowers, so I ended up using another florist for my COVID wedding ceremony. Almost a year later we had our delayed wedding reception and after planning one wedding, I decided to spend money the second time around on things I loved - the top being flowers. I hired Ash + Oak this time and I was SO PLEASED. Not only did they provide beautiful flowers for us on our wedding day, but they were also extremely professional leaving me with little to worry about outside of telling them the color scheme I preferred. They worked with my day-of-coordinator for arrival time and when I arrived at my reception, all the flowers were in place. I had seen many photos, so I trusted their design and gave them little instruction. I asked them for a summery feel with a romantic color pallet with blush, mauve, accents of yellow/blue and they delivered! I couldn't stop staring at the wedding bouquet when we were taking photos!! I received so many complements (including from my grand-aunt who is extra picky about flowers). I am so thankful for their craft, design, and eye. Looking back at the photos of the flowers makes my heart so happy! Thank you Ash + Oak!
