10/10 would recommend!
We hired The Social Camper for our 200-person wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From day one, she was fantastic—incredibly organized, creative, and completely dedicated to making our vision come to life. Every detail, from vendor coordination to the flow of the day, was handled flawlessly. Guests are still telling us how smooth and beautiful everything was, and we owe that to The Social Camper. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, this is your planner!
Huge thanks to Steph!!
Steph made our big day stress free! We were so lucky to have her be our day of coordinator. From helping our guests find our ceremony site to setting up our reception and handling the vendors. She did not let us worry about anything and we could not be more happier with the outcome. If you are looking for someone who anticipates your needs, goes above and beyond and wants you to enjoy your big day, then hire Steph!
Best Wedding Panner Ever!!!
Choosing Steph, with The Social Camper as your wedding planner is the best possible decision you could make for your wedding!

The quality of her work is top-tier - Steph kept my wedding planning organized and helped me bring my vision to life by researching examples and materials to execute the plan. She made the stressful planning feel fun and organize, plus she has great taste and ideas to contribute to making your dream wedding happen!
