About Sleeping Bee Designs
Sleeping Bee Designs
Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!
We really focus on the couples' concerns and want to make sure that we work within the planning method that makes you the most comfortable. The work we do with you for coordination starts 3 months out because in order for us to be experts on your epic day, we need to talk to you and your vendors about it while also helping you close out the last things on your list of to-dos. Based in Frederick, we specialize in Frederick-based weddings and vendor selection.
In three words: Collaborative, Efficient, Positive

Caitlin & Joey
Sarah was absolutely incredible from start to finish. I booked day of coordinator services with her, but she was involved much earlier to ensure day of details would be absolutely perfect. Sarah and her team do absolutely everything in their power to ensure everything goes PERFECTLY for bride and groom, but also for the entirety of the wedding. I cannot recommend enough, Sarah and her team go above and beyond, and we are SO GLAD we went with them.
Wedding Wizards!
Sarah and her team coordinated our November wedding and did such a wonderful job! I would recommend them over and over. Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional throughout our entire experience. From last minute rentals, to late night (night before) texts, a day of rehearsal, to random day of chaos, SBD handled it all with grace and efficiency. In addition to being lovely, Sarah is incredibly organized and detailed oriented, she is really exactly what you need. We are so thankful that we hired SBD, it really was the best day ever!
Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality
Sarah is an absolute rock star and a walking Excel spreadsheet (in the best way possible!) You can tell she truly loves what she does for a living. She radiates positivity and gave us complete confidence that our wedding day would be perfect no matter what, rain or shine. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. Sarah was always available, responsive, and happy to answer any questions we had. She also had existing relationships with many of our Frederick-based vendors (venue, photographer, florist, linens), which made coordination seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t recommend her and her team more—no one else could have matched her level of organization, professionalism, and care throughout the entire year we worked together.
The Best Decision We Made
Working with Sarah from Sleeping Bee Designs was an absolute joy from start to finish. From our very first conversation, she brought such calm, positive energy that immediately put us at ease. We hired her for wedding coordination, and she went far beyond what we ever expected. Sarah has an incredible gift for organization and attention to detail, but what really makes her special is the heart she puts into her work. She took the time to understand what was important to us and made sure every part of our day reflected that. She was always thinking ahead, handling every change or challenge with complete confidence and care. When our plans shifted and we added more guests, she kept everything perfectly on track. She worked so smoothly with our vendors and made sure every timeline and detail fell into place. On the wedding day, she ensured everything looked beautiful, especially our ceremony space, which she made absolutely stunning. One of the funniest and most memorable moments of the day was when she helped coordinate a surprise first look between my husband and my brother. It was such a fun, lighthearted moment that everyone loved, and Sarah handled it perfectly. She truly brought everything together in a way that let us fully relax and enjoy every second. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel so supported. She treated our wedding as if it were her own, and it showed in every detail. We are beyond grateful for Sarah and her amazing team at Sleeping Bee Designs. She is talented, thoughtful, and absolutely wonderful to work with. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more because of her. If you are lucky enough to have Sarah as your coordinator, you will be in the best hands possible. She is simply the best.
