Amanda, Our Hero

There are truly not enough words to describe how much my husband and I loved working with Amanda. From the very first call with her (1 hr), I knew she was the planner for us. Planning a wedding is not easy, especially on a budget, and she made our year of planning so easy. Unlike other brides, I did not feel stressed because I was able to put my full trust in Amanda's recommendations and planning process. Amanda is kind, professional, assertive, and compassionate. She is the reason we had the best DAY or our lives. Amanda is truly special and we feel fortunate to have worked with her:)

Wow is all we can say! We were truly SO lucky that we met Amanda while touring our venue! Before we even booked her she gave us advice and knowledge to ease us into wedding planning! Amanda more than proved the first impression she made on us with how talented and caring she really is! Amanda genuinely cares about her couples and is on your side from day 1 every step of the way! She helped us assemble an all-star team of vendors, supported us instantly with any questions, and advocated for us and our vision all along the way! We felt more than confident on wedding day because we had Amanda! Everything ran smoothly and was executed flawlessly! Do yourself a favor and book Amanda because she will go above and beyond for you always & exceed your expectations! We love Amanda so much as a rockstar vendor and an incredible person!

The wedding planner who’s got it all!

Where do I even begin? From the moment I met Amanda, I felt as if I had been speaking with someone who I knew for a very long time. She definitely has a way to make a nervous bride feel at ease, no matter the occasion. As a bride who chose Saint Augustine as a destination wedding, I needed someone who was highly organized and responsive, and who could help me last-minute decisions at a moments notice. Amanda not only checked all the boxes but by far exceeded my expectations in her recommendations and in her guidance throughout the planning process. Not only does she know how to make a brides dream wedding come to life, she also has a special way of reminding you to capture all the special moments leading up to your day!
