“They kept everyone in line (especially the groomsmen) but stayed cool and collected during the rehearsal and wedding day. I know for a fact my wedding would not have been my perfect day if they weren’t the ones running the show. Cannot recommend these girls enough. My husband, bridal party, family, and I all had nothing but compliments to say about this dynamic duo.”

We’re Abby and Blair — two sisters who fell in love with weddings, details, and the magic of Deep Creek. Savage Sisters started when our family purchased the Red Barn Inn and we saw a need for something different in the Deep Creek wedding market. Named after the Savage River that runs near our venue, what started as planning our own weddings turned into a full-blown (occasionally savage) sisterhood of a business — and we’re just getting started.

Abby Bernhardt

Abby Bernhardt

I’m Abby — wife, sister, daughter, Ironman finisher, and happiest at home. I live in Annapolis with my husband, who is an airline pilot, and life is always keeping us on our toes. We’re currently designing and renovating our new home, which has quickly become one of my favorite projects.

Savage Sisters is my fun, creative break from my “real job” and one of my favorite things I get to do with my sister. I love taking an idea, figuring out all the little pieces, and watching it come together.

When I’m not working, I’m probably training for my next Ironman, working on our house, traveling with my husband, or dreaming up where we’re headed next.

Blair Bernhardt

Blair Bernhardt

I’m Blair — wife, boy mom, sister, creative, and the person who is always dreaming up the next project. I love creating things, making old things feel new again, and finding the little details that make something special.

Savage Sisters is one of those projects that started with my sister Abby and a love for celebrating the people we love. Somewhere along the way, it turned into a business, and now I get to combine my creative side, my slightly obsessive love of details, and my favorite person to work with — my sister.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me playing with two little boys in Spider-Man costumes, crafting something, planning our next adventure, or convincing everyone that this is the project we absolutely need to take on next.

“Our decision to hire Savage Sisters Events was the best decision we made during our wedding weekend. From the very beginning, Abby & Blair provided invaluable advice that saved us valuable time, effort, and money. We initially thought we could plan a wedding ourselves, but that would have been a huge mistake on our end! Their expertise, attention to detail & impeccable taste helped us to create a beautifully styled and incredibly fun event that we will always cherish.

It’s easy to work with people who love what they do, are good at it, and care about their clients—and that is exactly what Abby & Blair provided for us. They brought passion and joy to the process that made us look forward to our monthly meetings. They eased our stress by always being accessible and offered solutions in areas where we were unsure. Their work ethic is unmatched.

Our wedding was gorgeous and went off without a hitch because of all their work! Words cannot fully encompass the gratitude we have for Savage Sisters Events and we 1000/10 recommend them to any and all upcoming brides! We cannot thank them enough for helping to give us the best weekend of our lives.”

“We hired Savage Sisters Events a little over a year out from our wedding and they immediately were so helpful and so amazing! Abby and Blair are so kind, organized, caring, but were also not afraid to share their knowledge and expertise to make sure you are making the right decisions and staying on track for your big day. They were everything and MORE when it comes to wedding coordination.

On the day of, they went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect, and with their help, everything was. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how amazing and professional they were, but were also so fun and easy to get along with.

I have said it time and time again to my friends and family who ask — hiring Abby and Blair as our wedding coordinators was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough! They will help make all of your wedding day dreams come true! Thank you Abby and Blair for everything!”

“If you need a wedding planner, book The Savage Sisters right now! We hired Blair and Abby for our daughter’s wedding, and it was the absolute best investment we could have made.

During the months of prep, they spent endless time working through every single detail. They were incredible at steering the bride and groom exactly when decisions needed to be made, while always remaining available to work through changes or answering questions. Their deep industry expertise and vast network of vendors ensured every choice aligned perfectly with the budget, look, and feel. Most importantly, Blair and Abby took the time to truly get to know Ally and Mason. By understanding their personalities, they paired them with a photographer, hair stylist and florist who turned out to be an absolute dream match. In fact, all the vendors they put us in touch with treated us like family.

They also put an immense amount of time and thought into developing comprehensive rain plan options, presenting them clearly to the bride and groom well in advance. When the unfortunate decision had to be made to change plans on the wedding day due to the weather, the execution was flawless. They seamlessly handled all vendor coordination and venue logistics. Thanks to their meticulous preparation, the transition went off without a hitch and the entire day ran perfectly on schedule.

Blair and Abby also helped plan the rehearsal dinner, day-of lunch, and farewell brunch. Having them manage everything made a massive difference for us as parents; we were able to thoroughly enjoy the entire weekend completely free of stress. They took care of every single detail so we could just focus on celebrating with our daughter and son-in-law.

We loved working with them so much that we hope to use them again for our son's wedding, and next time would also love to use their venue, The Red Barn Inn. 10/10!”

“Blair and Abby were the “sisters” I never had but quickly found out that I needed when planning our wedding. Their constant advice, open ears and hearts, and informativeness about the Red Barn Inn and vendors in the Deep Creek area are the three things that stick out to me most. They are also part of such a friendly, loving family that was just the cherry on top.

Blair and Abby got me through body image issues when dress shopping, gave the most precious advice when it came to in-laws, and never failed to remind me of the things that were most important for our day, which was simply me and my now husband. They also were extremely accommodating when made aware of my father in law’s accessibility and health issues, and remained patient through it all.

Blair unfortunately could not be at our wedding, but stayed killing it behind the scenes. She constantly updated our timeline and checked in on us. Abby was our saving grace when outside stressors made us lose sight of our day. She went off book and suggested my husband and I do a first look. In that moment it made everything better. She knew exactly what to say and what to do and I will be forever grateful for her kind heart. She asked me every hour “what do you need? Is there anything I can do?” while she was running around solo, decorating, and coordinating with our numerous vendors which was no easy feat.

Even after meeting Abby for only a few hours, our friends and family soon caught a glimpse of how fortunate we were to work with an amazing gal, and I know they would have felt the same about Blair too.

These two will give you their honest opinions, keep you organized and sane, and be your body guards when you need one. We are forever indebted to them and their entire family and we can only hope that the couples after us can gain a fraction of the experience we had with them.

Thank you Blair and Abby!”
