Love team ama!

We LOVED working with Chanda, Alejandra, and Syrhonda! The entire AMA team is kind, professional and create beautiful weddings. We heard from many of our guests that they were impressed with how smoothly the wedding day went. Throughout our planning process, we were able to see how respected team AMA is in the wedding industry. We received a list of preferred vendors from team AMA. Everyone we interacted with, from the DJ to potential caterers, all had such great things to say about team AMA. It made us feel really happy about our decision to work with them.

The absolute best!!

We had the best experience working with A Monique Affair to plan our dream wedding. Chanda kept us on track with our wedding vision and our budget and she was an absolute joy to work with. On the day of our wedding, her entire team was extremely polished and professional and the whole day went so smoothly. Even my bridesmaids were impressed by the direction they got from the AMA team and one said that our wedding was the first one she's been in where she actually knew where to be and what to do. We requested some challenging layouts and turnaround times between the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, and AMA executed everything flawlessly. She also recommended excellent vendors, from cake to bands to photography! 10/10, would recommend A Monique Affair to everyone.
