"Sally was an absolute life saver when it came down to the last minute details of wedding planning. We were engaged for 18 months and really did not procrastinate on any of the details of our wedding - we felt like we had everything completely ironed out and were actually unsure of whether we would even need someone to help with the final planning and day of coordination! Fortunately, we met Sally and decided that we wanted to work with her if only for the peace of mind she would bring on the wedding day. We were absolutely thrilled by how much more she offered than simply coordinating the wedding day. After a couple meetings in the months before the wedding, Sally truly knew every detail that we had planned and I completely trusted that she understood the vision I had in mind. In the couple weeks before the wedding, Sally contacted all of our vendors to go over final details and to iron out any kinks. She traveled to our wedding site (Elizabethtown) and our reception site (Louisville) so that she would know the venues beforehand and meet with the staffs. She also was able to sit in on a planning meeting with our photographers and we were so appreciative of her helping us to think of any small details we may have overlooked.

For the wedding weekend, she arrived early on Friday to pick up programs, baskets, favors, menus, candles, guestbook etc. so that we would not be worried with managing those on the wedding day. She ran our rehearsal with poise and efficiency while allowing everyone to completely enjoy themselves. Though we had planned out the wedding day to such precision, we could not anticipate a vehicle wreck on I65 that would close down the interstate for over 6 hours. Musicians, transportation, guests, etc. were traveling down that highway and Sally made them all aware of this issue early in the morning. Simultaneously, I was completely unaware that any of this was happening - My family, bridesmaids and I were able to have a relaxing morning preparing for the wedding without stressing about unforeseen circumstances. Sally was able to intercept all the problems before they reached us and handle them appropriately.

My mother has told countless people that the best money we spent on the entire wedding was Sally. It was such a completely perfect day totally devoid of any stress or tension. We were SO grateful to Sally and her intern, Whitney, for all their help, patience and positive attitude! -- Laura (2011 Wedding)


"Where should I even begin? Planning a wedding can be fun, but it also comes with a ton of stress! Sally was able to take away all of that stress! After all of the big planning was finished and all of the details were left, this is where I needed Sally the most. She made all of the phone calls, worked out all of the details and made my job for the day as the bride very easy! I just showed up, did what I was there to do and didn't have to worry about anything! Sally is priceless! I am so thankful to have had her with me on such a big day! I would recommend her to everyone!" -- Alison (2011 Wedding)


"Sally was the absolute best!!!  She always had a solution when we needed one.  Her capacity for patience is inbelievable.  I don't think our wedding would have gone nearly as smooth if we didn't have Sally.  If t here were any problems, I didn't know it.  She was thorough and professional.  Sally was the best investment of the wedding...aside from my dress of course!' -- Jennifer (2011 Wedding)


"The services that Sally provided were invaluable to me; I really cannot say enough wonderful things about her! My mom says that hiring Sally was the best decision we made and that the cost was the best money we spent and I could not agree more. When the church representative didn't show up at the rehersal, Sally took over and did a great job handling it. The day of the wedding, everything was taken care of without me (or my mom) having to say a word or lift a finger. At the reception, Sally made sure that we knew where to go and what to do but also allowed us a lot of freedom to dance, have fun, and enjoy our guests! Sally is energetic, kind, accomodating, responsive, thoughtful, and organized. I highly recommend Urbaniste!" -- Tiffany (2011 Wedding)


"Weddings are so stressful and there are just a million details that need to be done and eventhough I thought that I was organized and almost would doubt when other people would use wedding planners because it seemed like a waste of money, I have to say that I am now a HUGE advocate of have a wedding planner and that is due to the service that I received with Sally at Urbaniste. She is helpful, creative, punctual, thoughtful and most important VERRRRY patient! She saved me from so many train wrecks and made it so that I didn't have to stress about the little things. She is extremely resourceful and I felt so comfortable leaving the details of my big day in her hands. Sally was not only a fantastic wedding planner, but she also excels in wedding stationary (programs, invitations, escort cards); she has so many great ideas and she knows how to implement them, she truly was such an integral role in our wedding that I would recommend and encourage you to book her for your wedding as well!"  -- Ashley (2010 Wedding)


"Sally is INVALUABLE! She was recommended to me by a friend and I would definitely say that she would be at the top of my list of advice recommendations "I" would have for any bride-to-be. Sally is very personable, professional and most of all organized. I hired Sally for her wedding "day of" services. She took care of all the last minute things that needed to be done the day of the wedding leaving me "stress-free". She developed a detailed timeline and had the entire wedding party very comfortable with the agenda and when/where they needed to be at any given time. She also helped me through a wedding dress situation that could have been an absolute nightmare. Somehow, minutes before the wedding, one of the bridesmaids noticed a pretty significant stain on the back side of my gown. When it was obvious that the stain could not be removed with a stain stick--Sally, in a calm, collected voice, asked me if she could cut a piece of the underside of gown to do some "patchwork" over the stain. I told her to do what she needed to do. Her handywork was virtually undectable!!! It was actually undectable to anyone that didn't know what had happened. Other than the dress incident, if anything else went astray, I was totally unaware of it. Both my husband and I would highly recommend Sally for your wedding coordination needs." -- Laura (2010 Wedding)


"I am so thankful and proud to have had Sally Foster of Urbaniste helping me with the lead-up to this all-important day! As a bride who was working a full-time job, running my own business on the side, and planning a small-budget destination wedding with no coordinator at the destination site, no family in town to help, and only a 5 month engagement, I was in a constant state of panic over whether or not my wedding day would be all I'd dreamed. Sally Foster provided the calm, creative support I needed to bring my vision to beautiful reality. Though she was already booked with another wedding on my wedding day, she provided invaluable assistance in the lead-up, from shopping with me for decorations to going over to-do lists to creating the most adorable invitations for a shower that coordinated with my wedding invitations and colors! And she was fun to spend time with! I can't imagine how I would have done it without her--it wouldn't have been pretty. I highly recommend her for planning, decision-making, invitation design, and any assistance you might need with preparing for your wedding!" -- Christine (2010 Wedding)


"Sally was by far a blessing on my wedding day!  I am already an organized person, but Sally far exceeds even my organization. She never complained or rolled her eyes when things didn't quite go as hoped. She saw everything through beautifully and I cannot thank her enough! She was fabulous and I am so thankful that she played a part in my special day! THANKS Sally!" -- Taylor (2010 Wedding)


"Organization with grace" is the way I would describe Sally Foster/Urbaniste. She provided a valuable service with great attention to detail, guiding the wedding party and family smoothly through the rehearsal, wedding, and reception. I would recommend Sally without reservation!" -- Susan,  Mother of the Groom (2010 Wedding)   


"Simply put, Sally was wonderful! She did our day-of coordination, and I was very impressed with her kind, calm, professional demeanor, and her amazing organizational abilities. She thought of everything! Due to timing of our wedding we were unable to have a rehearsal before the wedding day. Sally actually performed our rehearsal a few hours before the ceremony with our wedding party while we had our wedding pictures made. I am very grateful to Sally for taking care of the little details so that our families could truly enjoy the day! I highly recommend her and would invite her to be a part of our wedding again in a heartbeat." -- Rachel (2010 Wedding)


  "When planning our wedding, I knew that I wanted someone to coordinate the day-of events and the rehearsal. Being an organized person myself, my husband somewhat questioned this decision, but we both will agree that it was the best decision made (other than marrying one another)!

Sally was extraordinarily professional and knowledgeable from our initial consultation and right away I knew she was the right fit for us. From her experience dealing with a variety of weddings, I knew that our interests and "style" would be her priority. Although our wedding was fairly simple and small, there were many non-traditional elements that Sally had no problem navigating. Sally was extremely available the week of the wedding, helping coordinate last minute details, communicating with vendors, managing our rehearsal and assisting our wedding party. The day of our wedding, I felt entirely comfortable putting everything in Sally's hands, knowing she would make the best decisions and ultimately had our interests at heart. 

As a bride, in many cases the last person you will see before walking down the aisle is your wedding coordinator. I HIGHLY recommend Sally Foster of Urbaniste to be that person for you!" -- Faith (2009 Wedding)


"As my wife and I were planning our wedding -- she doing more planning than I -- she mentioned getting a well respected acquaintance of hers to handle all the wedding planning.  Being the guy I am, I immediately thought, "waste of money".  But on the contrary, Sally proved to be an amazing asset to our wedding day.  All my groomsmen would certainly agree, we never felt pushed around or talked to like children --- which has been the case in one too many weddings we've been in previously.  If something was needed; directions to the men's room, answers to questions concerning the wedding line-up or even pinning flowers, Sally was there and an absolute joy to have involved. Members of my family and other close friends have since remarked on multiple occasions that Sally did such an amazing job, getting everyone in place and making it all go off without a hitch, all while maintaining her cool and being helpful.  The wedding flowed from start to finish.  My wife and I both agree that we have Sally to thank for her planning.  If you are in need of a hardworking, friendly and classy wedding planner, look no further than our new friend, Sally Foster."  -- Lewie (2009 Wedding)
