About Occasions by Sandy Perla

Occasions by Sandy Perla

Bilingual Wedding & Event Planning services in Loudoun County, VA & beyond.

Occasions was born from my passion of wedding planning, a decision I embraced when I left my 9-to-5 to follow my true calling. With over a 12 years of experience in the wedding and special events industry, I offer a comprehensive understanding of event logistics and vendor management. Supported by a network of wonderful clients, family, friends, and industry peers, I am committed to delivering the highest level of professionalism. My goal is to ensure that every aspect of your event is executed flawlessly, making the planning process not only enjoyable but also completely stress-free.

I was the proud winner of Best of Loudoun in 2023. It was validation that my love for weddings and my experience has paid off. Having an extensive network of wedding professionals really helps my clients choose the best fit for their vision and budget. I was born in El Salvador and raised in Northern Virginia. Being a fluent Spanish speaker is has helped me connect with many couples that require communication with vendors and family members. I offer decor rentals, decorating services and staffing services, which my clients love. I’m truly a 1 stop shop. Together we can come up with a design plan and bring your vision to life.

My wife and I can’t say enough good things about Sandy and her team. They understood the vision for our wedding and listened patiently, provided helpful recommendations, and were always clear and effective in communicating with us as well as with our various vendors. This is the team that you would want in your corner from start to finish, and our perfect day could not have come into being without the hard work of Sandy. I promise, she can make your wedding dreams into a reality that’s even better.
Sandy was our best decision

I truly cannot say enough great things about Sandy! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Every detail was flawlessly executed, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was handling everything behind the scenes. Sandy was actually recommended to me by my best friend, and choosing her was one of the best decisions we made. From the beginning of the planning process to the big day itself, she was organized, calm, and incredibly supportive. She made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m so happy we had Sandy as our wedding day of coordinator she made our day everything we dreamed of and more. I was speechless when I entered my reception room I was emotional because everything we planned turned out beautifully, If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and will make your vision come to life, Sandy is the one. Highly, highly recommend!

I have worked with Sandy directly on many different kinds events during the past 8 years. I highly respect not only her level of knowledge and experience but the high level of professionalism and organization she demonstrates during the planning and execution of events. I confidently refer my clients to Sandy for coordination of their events because I have seen her in action and trust her competency. You want a wedding coordinator that can handle the problems that sometimes occur quickly and professionally so that your event proceeds smoothly and according to plan. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Sandy and her team to you for all of your event planning needs. Cynthia P. Klebonis, Owner, CPK Floral Designs
