Natural, easy, and stress free!

Amanda helped us throw the wedding of our dreams after several times of rescheduling throughout Covid! Amanda helped us get organized months before our wedding day, and offered many services that went beyond the day of. Not only did she help us brainstorm unique ways of doing things, she also helped us build a timeline and organize our signs around the venue. Both my husband and I had little concept of the work it took to throw a wedding, and while he was skeptical of paying for a day of coordinator at fitst, he was quickly charmed by Amanda’s easy going personality and organization! I did not want a traditional wedding and Amanda definitely got the vibe we were going for! We would highly recommend Amanda’s services to any couple! Her outgoing and easy going personality made he great to work with.

Amanda rocks

Amanda and her sister are a big part of why we had a successful wedding--we were lost until we found them. She helped us determine exactly we needed for our wedding and then managed all communications amongst vendors. She met with us multiple times to design the reception, including several meetings to discuss thematic, artistic, stylistic, and logistic elements related to the wedding day. She designed and choreographed our ceremony, while making room for every element and nuance we wanted to include. Amanda also worked on creating and managing many of the physical decorations we used in the ceremony and reception. The day of the wedding was amazing, and wouldn't have gone nearly as smooth if it weren't for Amanda keeping everyone moving, and in the right place at the right time. Plus, Amanda is so warm, cheerful, and full of energy (such good energy); and she gets things done! Ultimately, Amanda not only created an amazing experience for us, she became a part of that amazing experience by bringing her own celebratory energy to the party. 💜🤘

Above and Beyond!

I hired Amanda to be my wedding planner for my September 2023 wedding at Skamania Lodge. When my husband-to-be and I started planning for this out of state destination wedding, I knew I needed someone who could help me on the day of the wedding, but I had no idea how badly I needed help for so much more than just day-of coordination. Amanda was the key component of making our wedding day exactly what we wanted. We would meet about monthly, and more frequently as the day got closer. Our calls were so fun, talking about ideas and getting to know each other. Any idea I had, she supported it and would help to execute. She coordinated vendors, timelines, chased down responses when I couldn't.

I ended up renting most of my décor from Amanda which was a saving grace. I felt environmentally responsible using these items knowing they wouldn't go to waste, and she took care of all set up and take down. She even purchased additional items to add to her inventory so I could have the look I wanted.

The day before the wedding, at the rehearsal, she went above and beyond: arriving earlier, bringing supplies, and offering to help set up the rehearsal even though that's not what she was hired for. She even requested that the venue change table linens when she saw a few of them were dirty!

On the wedding day, I swear she was 8 places at once. Tracking down vendors, getting all reception and ceremony sites set up, getting the wedding party in line, and having a drink and a plate ready for me when I walked into the reception.

I would love to find an excuse to work with Amanda again. She supports your ideas, she will stand up for you and always has your best interests in mind, she's creative and can execute your vision, and most of all - it feels like having another friend at your wedding!

My passion for wedding planning started in my early 20's. My obsession with weddings started as a little girl. I love everthing behind planning and cultivating a wedding from start to finish. I thrive on making any obstacles in the process of planning basically non-existent. I approach all weddings with a open mind and an open heart, making sure each wedding is specifically in line with the couples vision. I am honored when couples put their trust in me, and I take that very seriously. Taking the stress off of you is my main focus. My hope is that you can be at ease during your engagement, and truly enjoy this time, as it is a very happy special occasion that you will remember for the rest of your life to come.
