Hello there!

I’m Samantha Rotter, owner, designer, and planner here at

The Perfect Moment

To me, ‘the perfect moment’ is about so much more than a one-day event. My goal is not just for you to look back on your wedding as a joyful experience, but the entire planning journey as a time of excitement, anticipation, and wholehearted support. I’m so excited to help bring your Colorado wedding to life!

I was born and raised in Longmont, Colorado, then spent four years in New York City, where I worked with some of NYC’s most notable venues including The Plaza Hotel, Kleinfeld Bridal, and Madison Square Garden. I bring 10 years of diverse event experience to wedding planning, working with all budgets, styles, and guest counts. No matter how your wedding day unfolds, I am here to make sure you enjoy it like a guest.

When planning your wedding with The Perfect Moment, you work with me from right now until you exit the venue and hop in that getaway car. No one else to contact, no limits to our time together, just full, committed support.

“I was one of those brides who “didn’t need a wedding planner” because I wanted to be in control of everything from start to finish. I thought I could handle the workload in addition to my full time job. Three months before our big day, I broke down when I realized I had no clue how I was possibly going to manage this event while trying to actually enjoy it. My planning would be worth nothing if a vendor didn’t show up, if the flowers weren’t fresh, a bridesmaid backed out, the chairs weren’t lined up properly, or guests didn’t make the shuttle etc. So many logistics, I couldn’t keep up. I had spent nearly my entire savings on this event and had no clue how to ensure everything went according to plan. It was at this point I contacted Sami. Her immediate response: “Send me your vendors and your timeline”. It was like music to my ears, I had no idea how badly I needed the help. She took so much of the pressure off. We were able to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about logistics for the months leading up to our big day. She went above and beyond our expectations and without her I honestly don’t know what would have happened. She stepped in when friends who were supposed to get there early to help with set up bailed. She set up our entire arbor without a trace of hesitation just hours before the wedding. She facilitated all the vendor set-up without me even knowing it on the day of. Our wedding day was everything we could have possibly dreamed of and more, and hiring Sami just sealed the outcome for us! It was the best money we spent and 100% worth it!”

“We hired Samantha as our day-of-coordinator. We interviewed many other planners before choosing her. Samantha has a very practical and straightforward personality, to the point and prompt. Exactly what you want from a planner. She maintained all the details leading up to the wedding and made sure everything was squared away well before our special day. She was a great person to contact when we had any general questions about...really anything wedding related! Samantha was flexible with logistics and willingly took on some requests that made our day that much easier. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of EVERYTHING, including correcting the caterers on some decoration mistakes, helping with my wife's dress, and making sure our timeline ran on the dot! We highly recommend Samantha for any couples looking for a reliable day-of-coordinator. Thanks so much Samantha!”

“We couldn't have been any happier with our decision to work with Samantha for our big day! Samantha helped us throw the biggest party of our lives while creating a stress free environment for us and our families. As much as we could write about the coordination of the wedding alone, the execution of the days and months working up to our "i do's" were just as impressive. Samantha worked great as our wedding team leader with the Venue, Caterer, DJ, Florist, Baker, Photographer and Videographer from start to finish. We should also mention that not only was our wedding was in Longmont, CO while we live in Indiana, but I was six months pregnant too! Thank you for everything, Samantha!”

“There are so many moving parts of planning a wedding even if you are the most organized person, but I can't say enough good things about Samantha and The Perfect Moment team. She not only worked with us on our planning timeline and vendor appointments, but she made sure our decorations and set up were completed exactly they way we envisioned. It was the most amazing and special day and Samantha was a big part of helping that day all come together. Highly recommend her to help with any and all needs when planning your wedding!”

“My husband and I were hesitant in hiring a wedding coordinator. We were convinced we could tackle it all ourselves but when it really came down to planning every little detail we realized we just needed that extra help. We searched for day-of wedding coordinators online and came across Samantha, owner of The Perfect Moment. Her amazing communication and desire to meet in person to gather our expectations and vision for our wedding was appreciated. We had to change our plans three times (during COVID) and finally were able to get married in our best friends backyard. Samantha listened to our ideas and brought our vision to life. We were able to enjoy our day without the stress of wondering if everything was set up correctly. She kept our timeline flowing and I honestly do not know how we could have done it all without her.”

“Samantha is the best! She’s got it together and from our first meeting inspired confidence that she’d be strong and confident enough to manage our wedding guests to ensure things ran on time and smoothly. We really enjoyed working with Samantha and would highly recommend her to any couple planning a wedding!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Samantha as my Day-of Coordinator for my October wedding in the mountains. She was very thoughtful when we originally spoke on the phone and I knew immediately it was a good fit. Our ceremony and reception were at two different locations about 30 minutes apart and her help setting up, organizing everything, and managing other vendors was incredible. She made sure that all the details were set and if there was anything that might have gone wrong, I still have no idea. Throughout the day and into the night we were able to be gracious hosts and spend time with all our friends and family without a care in the world. In a word: invaluable. Thank you!”

“Samantha did an excellent job. She had a lot to do on our wedding day: set up decor, handle a 19-person wedding party, and deal with a 45-minute delay and change of ceremony venue (super bad rainstorm). She was on time and very efficient. I didn’t get to set up any of the decor, nor did I give her any direction. When I came out, I was SO happy to see how everything looked. She did everything how I would have, and I’m so thankful we hired her! It was super convenient to drop off decor with her prior and pick it up after (along with cards + gifts). She was technically our Day-of Coordinator but she worked far beyond the day of and was always very calm and collected. Without her the day would have been a huge mess!”

“Having Samantha's assistance during the weeks leading up to our wedding and the day of our wedding was so amazing! We had a venue change a week prior to our wedding day and she helped us get in contact with our vendors and move things around as needed. I wouldn't have survived the day of the wedding without her helpful hand! She decorated centerpieces, hung decor, and took care of all of those last minute things that come up on your wedding day. Thank you for everything, Samantha!”

“Samantha was absolutely the best! Organized, efficient, and met all of our needs along the way. She is timely in responding to any questions and was on top of it during our big day. She is extremely professional, fun, and made us feel like guests at our wedding without any worries.”

FAQ’s

Here are some common questions you might have for me.

Don’t see the answer you’re looking for? Let me know what’s on your mind.

What’s the difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator?

I love venue coordinators and I am not here to step on their toes. I work with them to ensure your event runs smoothly. However, the difference is simple—they work for the venue and I work for you. I will monitor your needs throughout the event, make sure that your voice is heard and ensure that everything you planned is executed exactly the way you want it to.

Why should I hire a professional wedding coordinator instead of just having a friend help me?

Hiring a wedding coordinator ensures that your friends and family are relaxed—filling themselves with good food, tearing it up on the dance floor and celebrating you—instead of setting up tables or making sure the speeches start on time. With a professional wedding coordinator supporting you behind the scenes, you, your family, and your friends can experience this incredible day together. My job is to make sure that you feel like a guest at your own wedding and YOUR job is to enjoy the day!

I'm getting married in Colorado, but I don't live there. Can I still work with you?

Of course… Colorado is such a popular destination wedding location! If you live out of state I will spend a lot of time talking with you over the phone and video chatting but we will meet up when you are in town. I can also be your boots on the ground here in Colorado—attending vendor meetings, venue visits, etc.

When in the planning process should we hire you?

Whenever you are ready! It’s helpful if I can be involved at least 60-days prior to your event to ensure all your ideas come to life. That said, I’m ready when you are, whether that’s a few months before the big day or a year in advance.

Do you plan other events like rehearsal dinners and bridal showers?

Absolutely.

I am happy to be involved with as much of your wedding experience (or other event needs) as you’d like! Please reach out to discuss pricing and availability for any other events!

Do you travel for weddings/events?

Yes. I love to travel all over the state and country! I do not charge for weddings/events within the Denver-Metro area, but would request some mileage fees and possible hotel accommodations if traveling over 50 miles.
