Most of our couples book us 15-18 months before the wedding date. However, we have planned some incredible celebrations in 5 months or less!

You don't need to pick a venue before reaching out! We have strong connections with top venues and can help you find the perfect location that fits your vision and budget and perfect date (with some serious Sarue Event Design exclusive perks!)

We specialize in planning and designing weddings throughout New England, New York, and the Hudson Valley. Our passion for travel also leads us to create unforgettable celebrations in the Midwest, West Coast, and Europe.

While venue coordinators are great for managing the logistics of the venue itself, the fact is they work for the venue and focus on the operations of the space rather than the vision of your wedding. On average, most venue coordinators have a client list of 60+ weddings and events per year they manage and meet with the client 2-3 times prior to the wedding. At Sarue Event Design we work for you. We limit our client book to just 10 weddings each year with unlimited meetings for all clients so that we can truly get to know you as a couple and understand your vision. Our comprehensive 50+ page design plan covers every detail, with backup options for any situation (Plan A, B, and C), complete with custom illustrations of your venue so you’ll know exactly what to expect before you arrive. Throughout your wedding events, our team is by your side—arriving first and leaving last—ensuring you’re free to fully immerse yourself in every moment, surrounded by your loved ones, while we handle every detail to create a flawless, luxurious, and stress-free experience.

You’ll have as much control as you want over the planning and design process. Our role as planners and designers is to translate your vision into professional visuals that reflect your unique style and story. We’re here to collaborate closely with you, ensuring your ideas and preferences are at the forefront. We’ll help assemble a team of vendors that aligns with your personalities and ideals, and we’ll handle the logistics and execution, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—celebrating your love. Together, we’ll create an event that beautifully weaves together your shared histories and tells your love story in a way that feels authentically you. Your vision guides every step of the process!

We offer 3 Month Coordination and Design Packages with our associate planners on a limited basis. Please inquire at info@sarueeventdesign.com for information and availability.
