Megan and Riley’s Mt. Rainier elopement was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The couple shared a private first look before exchanging heartfelt vows in a secluded spot beside the Ohanapecosh River.
Jordyn and Anthony had a vision for a bright, light, airy wedding with tons of eye-catching color and small, precious details. They brought us on board for day-of event coordination to ensure that everything stayed true to their vision, and everyone had an amazing time.
As their day-of coordinators, we managed timelines, coordinated vendors, and kept everything running smoothly so Canaan and Gabe could enjoy their day to the fullest.
Like so many couples recently, Emmy and Scott had to completely pivot their wedding plans due to COVID. But they didn’t let that get them down–instead of waiting or eloping, they opted for a microwedding at Deception Pass beach.
Tori and Stephanus are California-based, so they were planning their wedding from a few states away! But, being from the area, Tori knew that she wanted her wedding to have the timeless, romantic feeling that you can only find in the PNW.
An outdoor wedding has an added layer of unpredictability, but we couldn’t picture Liz and Brian’s 70’s-inspired wedding happening anywhere but Leavenworth.
“We hired Sage for day of coordination for our wedding in Mount Vernon.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Katelynn offered a ton of support and guidance as I worked my way through the various stages of the planning process.[...] Notably, Sage has a questionnaire that they have you fill out two months before the wedding that helps you think about all the details you didn’t even realize that you needed to think about. This was incredibly helpful!
On the day of the wedding, Katelynn and Paityn did literally everything. They were there at 9:00 on the dot and didn’t leave until the venue was spotless. They set up all of my decorations (don’t even get me started on how perfectly they set up the tables), flipped the room from ceremony to reception, and cleared all of the tables of dishes and garbage. [...] I was so relaxed and was able to enjoy my day without worrying about anything.
I am so grateful I found Sage Event Co!”

THE PROJECT
The colors and aesthetic that Jordyn & Anthony chose
The floral perfection
Their kind and thoughtful guests
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
The couple lives out of state, but when they saw the local Christianson Nursery venue online, they fell in love. Since they aren’t familiar with the Mount Vernon area, we made sure that they were connected with all of the vendors that they would need. Additionally, we coordinated with their vendors to keep their wedding on track and on time and built their day-of timeline around the venue guidelines.
Because they’re from out of state, all of Jordyn & Anthony’s guests were from out of town. Which adds the challenge of making sure that everyone is comfortable, and able to get to and from the venue. Despite a few late shuttles due to unexpected traffic, we were able to keep everything on time and all guests happy.
“Megan did such an amazing job with our wedding! My husband and I are based in Chicago so planning a wedding in Washington was a challenge. She made the planning process fun! Megan helped make sure our day was a success and we are so grateful!”

An outdoor wedding has an added layer of unpredictability, but we couldn’t picture Liz and Brian’s 70’s-inspired wedding happening anywhere but Leavenworth. We mixed the couple’s laidback retro style with the Bavarian history of Leavenworth by pairing colorful wildflowers and fresh local fruit with vintage postcards, signs, and other knick-knacks. The event itself was a colorful blast with plenty to do including lawn games, an ice cream stand, and pizza!
THE PROJECT
The couple’s ability to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere
The fun and unique decor
The relaxing, laid back approach to their wedding day
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
Liz and Brian are based in Chicago, we are based in Mount Vernon, and all of their vendors were based in Seattle. All we can say is thank goodness for Zoom meetings! During our initial planning meeting, we discussed their priorities and vision for their wedding day, which the Sage Event Co. team turned into a design blueprint and personalized vendor list to guide us throughout the entire planning process. We then made a game plan for booking vendors, sourcing decor and floral, and determining the logistics.
Megan and Riley’s Mt. Rainier elopement was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The couple shared a private first look before exchanging heartfelt vows in a secluded spot beside the Ohanapecosh River. Afterwards, they retreated to a cabin with their closest family and friends for an intimate dinner celebration. Against the breathtaking backdrop of the surrounding mountains, the newlyweds shared their first dance and raised a toast to their lifelong commitment. It was a truly unforgettable day filled with love, joy, and stunning natural beauty.
THE PROJECT
Our lead coordinator Megan got to marry them!!! When we say we’re equipped to do it all, we really mean it…
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
Megan and Riley reached out for coordination less than a month before their wedding, so we dove right into our planning process. With distance keeping us from touring the locations in-person, we made all of our decisions based on photos and Google maps! Thankfully, we were able to coordinate with their photographer who was in the area a few weeks before the wedding to have them scout out that beautiful ceremony location. Luckily, everywhere we chose ended up being as breathtaking in real life as it was in the pictures.
Rea and Shawn had a perfect wedding, built entirely around them. The couple held a formal ceremony at their church and then partied the night away in Pioneer Square. The vibes were modern and industrial with a touch of romance, which fit perfectly with their venue’s exposed brick walls and steel beams. Instead of signature cocktails, the couple had signature coffees for their guests to enjoy.
THE PROJECT
Right from the start, we felt like Rea and Shawn were our friends. We were so sad when they’re wedding was over because we wouldn’t get to talk to them all the time anymore.
We loved that they didn’t feel the pressure to provide a bar at their wedding knowing that it didn’t feel right to them. The added personal touch of the coffee cart made their big day feel so much more like “them.”
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
We worked on Rea and Shawn’s wedding for just under a year. Almost immediately, we were drawn to the industrial vibe of their venue, AXIS, but knew that we wanted to soften it with touches like vintage furniture, gold accents, and neutral florals with pops of soft pink. The venue itself is rather dark, so we added string lights across the dining space and used lighter colors in the decor like white, dusty blue, and pinks. Since most of their guests don’t drink, Rea and Shawn opted for a dry wedding with the personal touch of a coffee cart in lieu of alcohol.
We’ll say it: traditional bridal shows are… boring. Big Fake Wedding puts a fun, innovative, and exciting spin on the stale show model. Instead of walking from vendor table to vendor table and attending a few panels, Big Fake Wedding puts on (you guessed it) a BIG FAKE WEDDING. Complete with a theme, an actual married couple, and a dance party reception.
THE PROJECT
Meeting all of the amazing vendors! We made some of our best connections to date at Big Fake Wedding.
Getting to know the Big Fake Wedding team.
Creating a tablescape with a theme that we’ve never worked with before. We always love a creative challenge
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
As the day-of coordinators for the “Cigarette Daydreams” themed Big Fake Wedding, we created the schedule for the day and coordinated the rehearsal, getting our couple down the aisle, and the ribbon wand send off. We also designed two full tablescapes.
Canaan and Gabe were planning their Washington wedding from out of town, and DIY’ing a lot of their tablescape details. Naturally, they turned to us to help them handle the day-of coordination so that they could enjoy the day they worked so hard to perfect. We are obsessed with everything about the day–down to the detail.
THE PROJECT
Their dreamy tablescapes complete with cement and gold candlestick holders, and Royal Coupes from Cort!
Their garden seating area.
Canaan’s Bowie tattoo (if you know, you know).
The aesthetic Ahhas ice cream cart they had for dessert
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
As their day-of coordinators, we managed timelines, coordinated vendors, and kept everything running smoothly so Canaan and Gabe could enjoy their day to the fullest. Like most wedding days, theirs wasn’t without minor issues–the sparklers for the sendoff didn’t arrive on time, and one of their cement candlestick holders broke. But we did what we do best and solved those problems before Canaan and Gabe even knew they existed. By the way, sticky dot tape works wonders on broken candlestick holders.
THE PROCESS
“I booked Prudence + Sage for my day of wedding coordination and could not have been more pleased. Katelynn & Paityn did an amazing job with the setup and smoothing out any mishaps. Katelynn made us feel so at ease and completely removed all of our stress on our big day. We had the most amazing time thanks to our team. The only thing I would have done differently is book them for full wedding planning! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone getting married!”
Like so many couples recently, Emmy and Scott had to completely pivot their wedding plans due to COVID. But they didn’t let that get them down–instead of waiting or eloping, they opted for a microwedding at Deception Pass beach. We’re so glad they did, because it was breathtaking.
THE PROJECT
It was an intimate and memorable event.
They never let the constant change and uncertainty get in their way or ruin their mood. They were truly just happy to be together, celebrating their love
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
This wedding came together in a snap! But even though we were on a serious time crunch, everything came together beautifully. We helped them bring their beachy boho chic vision to life, and coordinated everything on the day of. This includes hauling everything around in a little push cart to set it up exactly how they wanted it and ripping out clumps of grass by hand so they could have a clear aisle. What can we say? We’ll do just about anything for a happy couple.
THE PROCESS
“We loved working with Katelynn and her team for our wedding! Getting married in 2020 was a challenge and they not only made our wedding day super smooth, but also were very flexible with the changes and state requirements prior to the actual day—which took major stress off of us so we could simply enjoy our big day! So with logistics they crushed it, but also with the aesthetics of the wedding. All the decorative touches Katelynn designed and executed was just what I wanted and felt right out of Pinterest, but meant just for me and Scott. It was the best day ever and we couldn’t have done it without them!”
Tori and Stephanus are California-based, so they were planning their wedding from a few states away! But, being from the area, Tori knew that she wanted her wedding to have the timeless, romantic feeling that you can only find in the PNW.
THE PROJECT
We filled a fire pit with baby’s breath to create an elegant lounge area.
Having the lush, evergreen PNW as the background to their event.
Seeing all of the moving parts come together for a perfect day (we had a staff of four for this event, because so much went into it!)
Tori’s two gorgeous dresses!
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
Since they lived in California, we had to make the most out of our time together whenever they would visit. And, with a ton of vendors and moving parts, our planning process was jam-packed. We helped Tori and Stephanus source their venue and their vendors, and managed all of the timelines and coordination on the day of.
Kelsey and Matt had a vision for a chic, timeless, and classic wedding day that perfectly complemented their lush outdoor venue. We pulled together a neutral color palette with white, tans, and grays to really let the flowers take center stage.
THE PROJECT
Kelsey is our owner Katelynn’s sister! With Katelynn being the MOH, our team all got to pitch in to make it the perfect day.
Seeing how much fun all of the guests had!
Kelsey’s dad giving an emotional, unexpected speech before giving her away at the end of the aisle. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place!
OUR FAVORITE PARTS
As their full event planners, we managed pretty much every single detail for them–from sourcing vendors to running the dress rehearsal to maintaining the timeline on the day of. On the actual day, we oversaw setup and breakdown including moving the guests to a different space for the cocktail hour so that the ceremony space could be switched over into the reception area.
THE PROCESS
“Sage event co. Made my wedding day run so smoothly I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Katelynn helped me stay organized leading up to the day and recommended vendors to me and Megan was there day of for everything we needed. I’m so thankful they were there to greet all of the vendors and do set up and take down. We had to do a room swap because of a smaller venue and everything looked perfect like it had been set up all day!”
Katelynn saved my sanity! We were only a few weeks out from our intimate wedding and all of the details were overwhelming me and ruining any joy. Sage Event Co was recommended by our photographer, and I reached out with a desperate plea for help.[...] Katelynn was there for the loose ends and for day of. Money well spent and I’m so grateful for all she did leading up to the event and in the day of. Thank you Katelynn.
"From our first call with Katelynn, my shoulders relaxed..."

“Where to even start! This was hands down the best decision. [...] Megan and Paityn were there for me every step of the way. Every detail was put in place exactly as planned. I never felt rushed in our multiple meetings. They listened and gave their professional input! Would do it all over again.”

LOVE NOTES FROM OUR FAVORITE COUPLES
“My coordinator from Sage Event Co. was Megan and she was truly an INCREDIBLE coordinator. I was extremely stressed and overwhelmed with wedding planning and she always remained calm and optimistic with everything. She was like a breath of fresh air. A few days after my wedding I found out about some hiccups that happened the day of that I never would have known about because Megan took care of it and handled any issue that arised. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her and all of her amazing work. I highly recommend hiring Sage Event Co. (specifically Megan!), they knocked it out of the park! Thank you, Megan, for everything!!!”

As our Day-Of Coordinator, Megan and her assistant Paityn made sure that our day went SO smoothly. She did an incredible job with the set-up and decor, fielded any and all questions, and made sure that I didn't have to think about my phone or the logistics of the day at all. I didn't wear a watch or check what time it was because Megan was all over our schedule. Leading up to our wedding Megan always had vendor suggestions, answered every question I had, talked me off of every ledge, and was just a joy to work with. She has an easy smile and calm demeanor and if you need someone to make sure you have "the best day ever" Sage Event Co has you covered. Our wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and more because of her help in the planning and the flawless execution. We will forever be indebted to Megan and her team!”
"WOW DID WE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN HIRING MEGAN + THE SAGE EVENT CO. TEAM"

One of the best decisions I made was hiring Katelynn from Sage Event Co. for my day of coordinator! I cannot even begin to describe how much Katelynn helped make sure everything went as planned.[...] We had a few meetings including a venue walk through prior to our wedding on 10/22/22 and it was so comforting knowing that she was there to handle the day. Katelynn was super organized and calm and took over managing my vendors about a week prior which was so reassuring. [...] My family made so many comments about how great and hard working they were and what a relief it was to have them present. Everything came together so well and I know that would have not happened without Katelynn and Paityn. They set up everything and helped with the clean up and I cannot express how amazing of a job they did.
"I definitely cannot recommend Sage Event Co. enough!"

We hired Sage Event Co. for our big day in August. Katelynn exceeded our expectations. I was in awe when I walked out before the ceremony that what I was seeing was my wedding. Sage Event Co. listened to everything I wanted, and produced just that! Her whole team is amazing! You will want to hire them for your big day!
"You will want to hire them for your big day!"

I hired Prudence and Sage about a month and a half before my wedding and am so glad that I did. I worked with Katelynn throughout the entire process to finalize all my plans and she was absolutely fantastic. Everything flowed seamlessly and she even brought in a crew for set-up and clean-up. I could not imagine my wedding day without her. Every detail, down to the smallest thing, was completely covered and my day was stress free.
"Thank you so much for allowing my husband and I to enjoy the most beautiful day of our lives."

When we started to plan our wedding last July I knew I had to get Katelynn on board to help me plan our special day. We have known each other for a few years now so I trusted her to help coordinate our day. She is so organized and professional. She made sure our day went smoothly and beyond. I highly recommend reaching out to her and her team so that your day is absolutely perfect! We love you Katelynn and we are so very thankful for you!!
