My Wedding Songbird -

Stacey Yi

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sarah Wang and her team from My Wedding Songbird (MWS) for our belated marriage celebration. From start to finish, Sarah’s expertise, dedication, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the planning process.

We had three events planned over the course of three days, all at different venues, so it was a LOT of coordination with many, many vendors. Sarah and her team absolutely crushed it at each event and made sure that all of our vendors were set up for success before and during each event. We were under no illusion that opting for full planning service meant zero work for us, because we certainly still had a lot to do and coordinate on our end due to the nature of our events. But one thing's for sure - we never could have pulled off what we did without Sarah and her team. I cannot even begin to list all the ways in which Sarah saved us time, money, headache, labor, and stress. Each of our events were better than we could have imagined, and all the vendors that she recommended were fantastic. In addition, it was very apparent that vendors loved working with her, which made our lives so much easier.

We opted for the full planning service, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Sarah helped us secure the perfect venues, coordinating with and visiting our venues with us or on her own when we couldn't go. She had an incredibly detailed and helpful workbook that she would guide us through in each of our monthly planning meetings, and she provided exceptional vendor recommendations. Her communication and coordination with us and with vendors were impeccable, and she ensured that everything ran smoothly and according to plan.

On the day of our main reception, Sarah truly shone as our bilingual English-Chinese emcee, and her two other staff members, Kim and Chanel, did a wonderful job as day-of coordinators. Sarah's, Kim's, and Chanel's professionalism and warm demeanors made everyone feel at ease, and their ability to seamlessly manage the day's events was remarkable. Sarah’s bilingual skills were an enormous asset, allowing all our guests to feel included and engaged. They also took care of all the logistics of vendor unloading/loading, communication, etc., and really made sure that we didn't have to worry about event logistics on the day of. Truly a gift to be able to fully focus our time and attention on our guests throughout the weekend.

Sarah and her team at MWS went above and beyond to make our celebration weekend perfect. Her creativity, organization, and unwavering support turned our vision into reality, and we are forever grateful for her hard work. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is not only highly skilled but also deeply passionate about making your day special, look no further than Sarah Wang and her team at My Wedding Songbird.

Thank you, Sarah, for making our weekend a dream come true!

If you're looking for a wedding planner/coordinator who is dedicated and on top of everything, you can stop looking because Sarah is your girl.

We're from Chicago and wanted to have a destination wedding. We still wanted to include our traditional tea ceremony, (even though we knew it wouldn’t be super traditional due to the travel), so we wanted to find an Asian wedding planner who would have experience with fitting that into the wedding day. After speaking with Sarah on the phone and seeing how she was super personable and experienced, we decided to book her.

During the whole planning process, we conducted all our meetings over Zoom and Sarah was very accommodating with the time difference. She was super patient and flexible with us throughout, even when we had to change our destination 3 times due to personal reasons (I was freaking out but she remained calm and told me everything will work out, which it did). Sarah was also very responsive over email and texts so we always knew what was going on with vendors and whatnot. Since I'm very indecisive and wasn't too picky about details, she was always willing to offer her advice/input, which I appreciated. We had our wedding on the island of Oahu and everything turned out so beautiful.

Prior to the big day, Sarah accompanied us on our venue and some vendor visits in Hawaii. She also helped us by picking up and transporting our signages and other miscellaneous decorations from LA to Hawaii. On the day of, Sarah and Chanel, her assistant, made sure all the guests and vendors knew where to go and did their best to stay on schedule. Sarah and Chanel also helped decorate the chapel for our Chinese/Vietnamese tea ceremony. Chanel did the Cantonese translation for the ceremony and I heard she did a good job (I only know Vietnamese so this is based on what my husband and guests told me haha).

The wedding was a BLAST and dreamy and we couldn't have done it without Sarah. I really wish I could relive the day. We're so grateful and happy to have worked with Sarah and her team.

We hired Sarah to help us plan and execute our unique wedding. I am Chinese and my Husband is Korean. We eloped in Kauai last year so for the wedding in Los Angeles, we wanted to incorporate our cultures instead of having a Western Wedding.

Our vision was inspired by the movie "In the Mood for Love" for its esthetic and 1960s Hong Kong vibes and Shanghai Nights. So we wanted to incorporate those esthetics with our wedding. We also wanted to incorporate Korean culture too. So Sarah really helped make our vision come to life.

She is very professional, organize, and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. She gave many recommendations to help us create our perfect wedding. She found vendors that worked with our budget and found vendors to create the perfect backdrop.

The outcome of the wedding was better than we ever envisioned. Her team was very professional, and everything went smoothly. Our wedding was not the easiest to plan. The restaurant we chose only gave us a 3-4hour window to set up, and Sara and her team were magicians. They turned a mediocre restaurant into a 1960s Shanghai Nights Theme Wedding, felt like we were in a movie!

Our friends, family, and the restaurant owners raved about our wedding, saying it was the most unique wedding experience they ever been a part of.

My husband and I got to work with Sarah for our wedding this past month on 10/20. It was the best experience to have a wedding planner on our side along our wedding planning as we only had 5 months to plan. Right after we hired Sarah, she gave us a great timeline for us to follow through for each month counting down to our wedding week and it helped us with our organization and stay on top of our tasks.

Whenever we bumped into questions or problems, Sarah would always give us helpful suggestions by proposing us other possible options or showing us examples of how others do it. She is such an angel when it comes to contacting and following up with our various vendors because that’s not my husband and my strongest strength!

Sarah is well connected to many big vendors in the LA region and it was such an honor to be able to work with some of the most talented vendors even with a budget. I am a very detail oriented bride and have very specific requests for the presentation of the wedding. Sarah suggested that I do vision boards for all the ideas I have for many of our vendors, and I was very pleased with the result of the vendors. I’m so very thankful for her connections and the vendors she works with.

Sarah is a fun coordinator to work with because of her bubbly personality. More importantly, she is effective and on top of her work and produce quality work, I highly recommend her for wedding planning!! Thank you Sarah for all your help!

We planned our wedding in Arcadia, CA all the way from Boston, MA within 4 months and having Sarah and her team was key! They helped with recommending and finalizing our reception venue (a Chinese banquet hall), narrowing down and booking several of our many vendors, keeping our plans organized and of course ensuring that the day run smoothly! Sarah also helped with specific Chinese aspects of our wedding like providing resources for the tea ceremony and even reviewing a written translation of my maid of honor's speech. I can't recommend them enough!

Sarah and her team had brought our wedding vision into a reality at Long Beach Museum of Art on 2/18/2023. For us, it was a magical experience. Early on in the planning process, I was overwhelmed by the abundance of information, but Sarah put our minds and hearts to ease by answering all the questions we have, every step of the way. We loved that she includes the coordination for the Tea Ceremony as well. She is responsive and given us great advice/suggestions throughout the whole process. She had also given us a new perspective on wedding planning and also connected us to amazing vendors! We really enjoyed our time working with her. For any future couples that are considering, please know that you will be in good hands.

Sarah from My Wedding Songbird was a literal Godsend for our wedding - our Lady Savior from above! I would start a church in her name if I could.

We first booked Sarah as our officiant and day-of coordinator in 2019 from a word-of-mouth referral (yes, she was that popular). From the first meeting, she came off as someone who cared deeply for her clients and made us feel very comfortable, even though we were in way over our heads by trying to plan our own wedding & didn't know any better. Thankfully, she was always happy to offer expert advice whenever we needed a nudge in the right direction. When we had to postpone due to the pandemic, Sarah was happy to move our dates no questions asked, and even sent us a lovely gift on our would-be wedding day.

While our big day drew close, her team started engaging us 6 weeks prior and laid out very organized & detailed spreadsheets to document every minute detail of the event.

As an officiant, Sarah was hilarious, charming, and incorporated a ton of personal details into the script that not only made our ceremony extra memorable, but also kept all the guests laughing and entertained. Not to mention her Mandarin & vocal skills were both on point. I lost count of how many guests had told us how great of an officiant she was after the wedding!

For the day of coordination, I won't go into everything she and her team of 3 wonderful assistants (Demi, Patricia, and Anna) did because they did so much, but I would say a good way to tell if your coordination team did an amazing job is if you (bride/groom) had a great time and didn't have answer a single question from the vendors the entire evening. And that's exactly what happened. We had a blast and didn't have to worry about a thing! Well, we did have to put up with vendors constantly pestering us about how great a job Sarah and her team did throughout the night 😛

A few things worth noting:

1. We had a ton of DIY decors that needed Sarah's help to set up, and she did an amazing job, especially with our dessert and welcome tables where we left her very little instructions.

2. We actually ran out of bottled water a few times throughout the evening, and her team went out and got multiple cases for us right away.

3. Her entire team stayed all the way until the very end - I'm talking shutting the place down and turning off the lights - to diligently help us take down and pack away all the decors, and to make sure every last vendor cleanup goes smoothly.

4. Every single one of our vendors sang high praises for Sarah & her coordination team. That speaks for itself.

So, if you're looking for the officiant & day of coordinator of your dreams, look no further. If you don't think you need a day of coordinator, do yourself a favor and schedule a meeting with Sarah, ASAP.

Lastly, a huge THANK YOU to Sarah and My Wedding Songbird for everything you've done to help make our dream wedding become reality!

My Wedding Songbird (Sarah and Kimberly) were day-of-coordinators at one of the weddings OurStrings4You provided live music services at. Sarah and her team were very friendly and accommodating to us. I received all the needed information from her before the wedding day - a playlist of the requested songs, timeline and other needed information. The ceremony processional went smoothless due to great communication and coordination between us. I love working with caring and responsible planners. Sarah is one of them! I saw how kind the laddies of My Wedding Songbird were with the guests while their arrival. Sarah and her team will take care of you, your family and guests through out the whole celebration with ease. I'm looking forward to making more couples' weddings one of the happiest days of their lives together!
