"Sara has a wealth of knowledge about local resources. In planning our daughter’s wedding, we were able to tap into that knowledge and stay local. Sara also has a number of items that can be used and reused for weddings which not only saves on resources but saves money as well. Plus, her wedding ideas are fabulous and her planning is meticulous. A joy to work with! "

Susan Leeman, Wilmington, DE, MD

"Our wedding is Green, literally. Sara has helped us find all the coordinating elements – alot of which are not only the color green, but also are environmentally sensitive. We are doing fresh local herbs, local flowers, using local vendors and choosing a menu based on locally produced Eastern shore cuisine. Luckily with the rebound in the crab population in the Bay this year, our crab cakes at least are not environmentally detrimental! CTD can really guide you through making the right choices for minimizing the carbon footprint for your wedding."

Julie Spencer, New York, NY

"Sara does an excellent job using local resources! I could not be happier that my hometown wedding is just that, all from my hometown. We need to take a page from her book and rediscover everything Chestertown has to offer, it’s more than you think! She is thoughtful, resourceful and never fails to keep everyone in mind, including the environment! "

Jessie-Lee Williams, Lynchburg, VA

"Congratulations on another great idea, concept and flavor! You have so many beautiful colors in your paint box! "

Robin Wood Kurowski, Rock Hall, MD

"Sara continues to share her wealth of practical ideas and quality contacts for our family’s July “backyard” wedding. We didn’t consider our local vendors to be “green” at the time we made them, but now we quite delighted with our sustainable choices and have every confidence that things will go well as the big day nears. Thanks for spotlighting this great local company. We are very pleased with CTD! "

Linda Dutton, Chestertown, MD

"It doesn’t have to be a wedding or a graduation or a christening or an engagement or a promotion or the completion of a project or a retirement party, or ANY other occasion – it will be lovely and more green if Sara is holding the collective hand of the hosts. "

Connie Godwin, Chestertown, MD

"Sara always has great ideas for making the wedding greener, from non-flower centerpieces to books full of ways to be more eco-friendly. Her help making our wedding environmentally friendly has been invaluable! "

Mallory Martin, Chestertown, MD

"Best of all – the receptions, parties, or weddings Sara plans have no rivals – you could be in Paris, New York, Rome – it is the thoughtfulness, creativity and desire for excellence that are the underpinnings of all her events. Brava!!"

Carla Massoni, Chestertown MD

"To the best wedding planner a girl could ever hope for, thank you...for all of your effort & love that you have poured into this wedding. I trust your vision 100% -- you are so talented! I am very lucky that we have you Sara."

Megan Rich, New York City, New York

"We have attended quite a few other events arranged by Sara, from dinner parties with a personal chef cooking and hands-on participation by the guests, to themed book club gatherings, to poolside barbeques. Whatever the occasion, I would recommend Connect the Dots to anyone interested in hosting a truly memorable and quality event."

Loretta & Cabot Lodge, Chestertown, MD
