Vanessa | Owner, Spectacular Saturdays Weddings & Events
Hi, I’m Vanessa, a Savannah based wedding planner with over 12 years of experience. I’m passionate about helping couples create unforgettable wedding celebrations that reflect their unique love story.
Before embarking on my wedding planning journey, I studied hospitality, cultivating a deep appreciation for the industry. When I’m not bringing wedding dreams to life, I’m enjoying the simple pleasures: spending quality time with my husband and three energetic boys, whether it’s at the beach, in the park, or having backyard barbecues. I also cherish my friendships and enjoy recharging with good company and delicious meals. I believe in creating stress-free and joyful wedding planning experiences with a focus on personalized details and exceptional service. Let’s work together to bring your dream wedding to reality.
