Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Sarah Montgomery Events (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides wedding planning and design services based in Long Beach Island, New Jersey. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through www.sarahmonty.com and related inquiries about our services.

Information you provide

When you complete our inquiry form or contact us, we collect the information you provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, event date and venue, guest count, wedding budget, vendors, services of interest, referral source, and any other details you choose to share. We also receive information you provide while discussing or planning your event.

How we use your information

We use inquiry information to respond to you, discuss availability and services, prepare proposals, plan and coordinate requested events, communicate with you, and maintain related business records. We do not sell your personal information, share it for targeted advertising, or use website inquiries to add you to marketing mailing lists.

Website hosting and analytics

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. When you visit, Squarespace receives technical information such as your IP address, browser, network and device details, referring pages, and pages viewed. Website analytics may also record interactions and visit times. This data supports website operation, security, and improvements, and helps us understand website traffic. Squarespace also handles some visitor information for its own purposes, as explained in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

We also use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use our website and to improve its content and performance. Google Analytics processes information such as pages viewed, visit times, referring websites, browser and device information, and approximate geographic location. When you allow analytics cookies, it uses cookies such as _ga to distinguish visits and measure engagement. We do not send inquiry form contents, names, email addresses, or phone numbers to Google Analytics. Automatic site-search and form-interaction tracking are disabled.

Google processes this information on its servers, which may be located outside your country. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Cookies and your consent choices

This website uses essential cookies for core functions and to remember your choices. Optional analytics and performance cookies are restricted until you consent. Use Accept All to allow optional cookies, Decline All to decline them, or Manage Preferences to choose categories. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using Cookie Preferences on the website. Declining optional cookies does not prevent you from browsing the site or contacting us.

Our Squarespace integration communicates your analytics consent choice to Google through Consent Mode. When analytics consent is denied, Google Analytics does not read or write analytics cookies, but may receive limited measurements without cookies, such as consent status, page information, time, and browser details, for basic measurement and modeling. Declining cookies therefore does not necessarily stop all technical requests to Google.

You can also manage, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings, or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on where supported. Blocking essential cookies may affect how some features work. Learn more about the cookies Squarespace uses.

When we share information

We use service providers, including Squarespace for website hosting and forms, Google for website analytics, email and communication providers, and Aisle Planner for client planning tools. These providers receive information needed to support those services. We may share relevant event details with venues or vendors as needed to carry out the planning services you request. We may also disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights.

Our Client Portal connects to Aisle Planner. Its handling of information is described in the Aisle Planner Privacy Policy. Other external websites, including social media and photographer websites linked from this site, have their own privacy practices.

Retention and security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including providing services, maintaining business records, and meeting applicable legal obligations. The retention period depends on the type of information and our relationship with you. No method of online transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights. We may need to verify your identity and retain information required for legal or business obligations when responding to a request.

Updates and contact

We may update this policy as our website or practices change. The date above shows the latest revision.
