NEED HELP CREATING YOUR WEDDING TIMELINE?👇🏼

Honestly, one of my absolute favorite things about planning is helping my couples create their timelines. Here are some practical tips to help you create your timeline:

1. The time of year you get married matters. In the fall and winter you want to aim for earlier. In the spring and summer starting later!

2. Try to get all of your dances done right after you are announced into the reception.

3. Keep speeches short and sweet OR do them at the rehearsal dinner.

4. Eat a private dinner with you and your fiancé so you can spend the dinner time talking with all of your guests.

5. Do a first look! (Obviously if YOU want!) It can be beneficial to ensure you fit in ALLLL the pictures y’all could want!

Follow along on Tik Tok (Sage Event Co) with me with my wedding timeline series!

Save for later or send this to someone who may need the help!!

I WANT A TO HAVE A DESTINATION WEDDING BUT DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START.👇🏼

This sound like you? Listen, destination weddings always sound so enticing right?? Getting married in Italy on the Amalfi Coast - YES PLEASE! But is it right for you?

A destination wedding isn’t just getting married in Italy, it could be getting married in Florida when you live in Pittsburgh, PA (shout out to all my PA friends🥹)

There are added stressors - travel, packing, organization, logistics, lodging, and everything in between. I was a bride getting married out of state and I did NOT have a planner and man do I regret it!

Here are your first steps to having a destination wedding:
1. Determine your budget (don’t forget to plan for travel, rental cars, lodging, meals, etc.)
2. Hire a planner to help you manage that budget and to create the wedding of your dreams!
*HINT: hire me!! Based in Greenville, SC but take. Me. Anywhere. PLEASE!

Where are you dying to travel to: Mine is Amalfi Coast, Italy!

POWER PLANNING! What is power planning you ask??

This is perfect for the couples who have NO idea where to get started OR have no idea if hiring a planner is the right next step.

Big city vibes ✨ 3.31 was a day to remember

Overwhelmingly grateful for the couples who continue to trust me with their big days. I put my heart and soul into every wedding I work. I still have open dates in July, August, September, October, and December! 🤍 If you haven’t booked a planner/coordinator, this is your sign. Link to book is in my bio!!!!

BRIDES: It’s not your photographers job to manage your timeline! WHAT? Yes, you read that right… It’s not their job to make sure your vendors are time, it’s not their job to make sure everything is set up and ready to go. Their job is to show up and make sure they get the pictures you want! Well who’s job is it?? You guessed it… The wedding coordinator/planner! Having (at least) a coordinator is so important. Let your family, friends, and guests enjoy the day and leave it up to the professionals to stress so you don’t have to.

Do your photographer and YOURSELF a favor and hire a wedding coordinator, you wont regret it! Did you hire a planner/coordinator??? Are you happy you did??👇🏼

What’s the difference between a wedding coordinator and a venue coordinator? 👇🏼

1. A wedding planner/coordinator that you hire for yourself is working for YOU.
2. Venue coordinators make sure everything runs smoothly from a venue prospective. (Event layout, clean up, venue staffing, etc.)
3. It’s not their job to make sure your vendors are on time, your tables are set, or your photographer is on schedule.
4. It’s not their job to create your timeline or run your ceremony!

If you aren’t hiring a wedding planner/coordinator because your venue comes with one, I would reach out and get clarification on what their scope of work is.

A wedding planner/coordinator you hire is there for you and whatever you need. They are your biggest cheerleader, hype man/woman, and your best advocate for everything on your wedding day. 🤍

We work together with the venue coordinators to ensure a seamless, perfect day for you and your love! ✨

Engaged couples always ask “what do I do first?” Well.. it’s your budget!! Here are 3 budgeting tips to help you get started:

1. Determine your overall budget! This is SO important. This helps you manage expectations.

2. Break your budget down into sections - i.e. Venue, Florals, Photo+ Video, Planner, etc. this helps you determine which vendors are within reach. There’s nothing worse than falling in love with a vendor that’s WAY out of your budget.

3. Create a budget spreadsheet. Tracking your budget helps keep you within your means. This allows you to have everything you want without going overboard!

Also, these details are to DIE for. is an unreal photographer. Please hire her and me for your dynamic duo 😉

Tis’ the season to support small businesses and have a new bestie 😘

•1• whole year of Sage Event Co. | gratitude is the only word I have.

When I first started this business I felt lost, overwhelmed, and tired. I was tired of not knowing my passion, tired of feeling unfulfilled, all of it.

Last November I made a decision that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I took a chance on myself, pushed myself and I have grown in ways I couldn’t even imagine. I can finally say: THIS IS MY PASSION.

To my past, present, future couples: you are the backbone of who I am. You took a chance on this first year wedding planner and made me into the best version of myself and for that, I am FOREVER grateful. I love each and everyone of you so much.

To my vendor friends: thank you for guiding me and teaching me through this season. Learning the wedding industry has been so much better with you - i feel so grateful I have gotten to work alongside all of you!

Sorry for the long post: I’m just sitting on my couch crying and writing this. My heart is overflowing and I feel so honored to be able to do what i do 🥲🤍✨

YEAR 2 LET’S DO THIS 🍾

✨Wedding Tip Wednesday✨
•Pick your vendors wisely! Not every vendor is the right fit for you! These people will be working the biggest day of your life. Be sure they see the value in that. Cheaper is not always better! Read reviews, get recommendations from people you trust, and ALWAYS have an in-person meeting or phone call with them to be sure they’re a good fit!

The right vendors will support your dream, cheer you on, and feel more like friends than vendors 🤍

One of my favorite weddings to date!🤩

🚨IT’S HERE🚨 Ally Stein Weddings and Events has grown unbelievably in this past year. Part of my 1 year business anniversary is doing a complete rebrand: meet the new me - Sage Event Co. 🥰🤍🤩🎉

Sage Event Co. is going to be a destination wedding planning company. That’s right - I’m going GLOBAL 🌍 I’m going to be focused on travel in the 22’-23’ season! 🤍

Lastly and certainly not least, MAJOR shoutout to for creating the brand of my dreams ☁️ Not only did she take everything I was thinking about my brand and make it reality, she is the KINDEST soul I’ve ever met. If y’all need rebranding, Abbey is your girl!!!

Thank you always supporting me, friends! I’m so grateful for this blessing and what an honor it is to serve the couples I have already worked with and those I have yet to work with!

National coming out day was not too long ago and in perfect timing I get to share this picture of the SWEETEST couple I’ve had the privilege of working with.

I feel like it’s important for everyone to know that Ally Stein Events supports love that comes in all shapes and sizes. We stand behind, support, and LOVE those who may not always feel accepted by those around them 🌈🤍

Also, I need to brag on the sweetest soul and an UNREAL photographer.

One of the best days with Paige + James 🤍
