Keith Banning - Sisters,  Oregon

Suzanne was instrumental in planning and coordinating my wife’s surprise birthday party. If you’re looking for someone who is an outside the box thinker and who takes their commitment to the client seriously, please look no further than Suzanne!  She honestly exceeded my expectations in every area. From venue selection and vendor coordination to detailed planning to wildly creative ideas…it was so fun to have her help. I can’t recommend Suzanne the Party Girl more strongly.

Sincerely,

Keith Banning

I luckily stumbled onto Suzanne The Party Girl after reading and liking her blog. I wanted someone warm, laid back, and easy to work with — a tall order! But Suzanne fit the bill perfectly and understood my specific taste and vision right from the beginning. Considering I hired her at the last minute (2 weeks before me wedding) to help me pull together all the last minute details, of which there were many, she could not have been more calm. She and her team did a fantastic job — I could not have been happier with the results. My reception was very funky and down home, but I found out that a few weeks later she did a friend’s cousin’s country club wedding that could not have been more traditional. She can do it all and she is a warm, wonderful person to boot.

Lisa Brooks Stein, bride
I hired Suzanne because we had worked together in the past and I had experienced her exquisite taste level and professionalism first hand. Suzanne was able to pull together the perfect Wedding in 3 months time. Our wedding was everything we wanted, a festive soirée’ set in a contemporary venue with beautiful details that created a warm, friendly and gorgeous setting. Suzanne and her team took my vision and executed the evening flawlessly with added details transforming the ambiance into a magical memory. The flowers, candles, lighting, tray-pass appetizers, food, signature cocktails, service staff, table setting, music, furniture, flow, reception ambiance and even the restrooms had the 5 star resort feeling that we wanted. The entire day was organized and special. I didn’t have to do a thing! Suzanne’s relationship with every vendor was specific and her professional communication and follow through makes the statement “every I dotted and T crossed” an understatement. She is extremely budget conscious and creative. She is very resourceful and finds solutions to make things happen. A wedding should be what the bride and groom envision and Suzanne delivered the PERFECT wedding! If we were to go back and make any changes there wouldn’t be one thing we would change and that speaks volumes to Suzanne the Party Girl!

Suzanne The Party Girl was wonderful! Suzanne took care of everything so that the wedding and reception went off without a hitch. It was so nice to have Suzanne there to add her special touch and to made sure the wedding was all we had hoped for and much more, she is so giving of her time and talent, I don’t know what we would have done without her!

A great wedding planner to work with!
What was the best thing that the wedding planner did to make your wedding day better?
Hi! I am actually a photographer. I photographed Suzanne’s wedding back in 1999 and she called me last year when she needed a photographer for a celebrity wedding. I worked with Suzanne on Scott Baio’s wedding for his reality show: Scott Baio is 46 and pregnant!!! This was a very demanding wedding because of all that a wedding usually entails, plus a 21 cameras t.v.crew and a bunch of celebrities involved!!! Suzanne was unbelievable at making things run smoothly the whole day. She was prepared and whenever somebody needed something, no matter how ’surprising’ the demand, she was ready! She had a smile on her face and made people feel happy and comfortable.

“Suzanne was the wedding coordinator for Scott Baio’s ceremony and reception. I played harp for the ceremony. Since the wedding was televised, there were so many details for her to take care of - and everything had to be perfect! She and her assistants were always close at hand to help me with everything regarding my music. I noticed things were going very smoothly, and I believe it was largely due to Suzanne’s excellent work and attention to detail. If she could make an event of that magnitude go so well, I would definitely suggest hiring her for any wedding or party!! ”

Johnny RK, composer
I am a music composer, I occasionally will write music for couples as a wedding song, dance song, music for wedding videos, etc… I have attended two weddings that Suzanne planned and both were well-organized and fun! She even had a great 11-piece Cuban band (and I’m very picky about live music, it’s my job) which was great. There are not many wedding planners that can make any even feel like a real party but Suzanne can, and does, on a consistent basis. Suzanne rocks!
