Amanda is Amazing!

We were so fortunate to work with Amanda for our big day. From the moment we met her we got the best vibes and she was so fun to work with! She made our day completely about us and went out of her way to make it great. We even got compliments from guests on how sweet and nice she was. There were a few hiccups on our big day (nothing related to her) and she pivoted and handled everything amazingly! We can’t recommend her enough!

10/10 Recommend!

Amanda was amazing during the process of planning our wedding. When our venue advised us that hiring an event planner was mandatory, it shocked me. That is not something we planned on having as I frequently plan events myself and have a large support group that was willing to help out.

However, that was a blessing in disguise. I needed her! She took so much off of my plate. She was patient, responsive, and always knew how to calm my nerves. I had trouble receiving communication with a few vendors and Amanda facilitated that for me, she met with me on numerous occasions to discuss changes I wanted to make, kept the unruly groomsmen in line, and never made me feel like a bother. She should have charged for therapy sessions too. haha Without her, I honestly have no idea what I would have done.

Absolutely Incredible!

Amanda is truly the best ever. As soon as I got engaged, she was the first vendor I called and secured as she had done my sister's wedding a few years back and blew us away with her services. Having Amanda as our coordinator alleviated every bit of stress from our wedding and we could truly just enjoy the time leading up and the weekend itself. She is everything you would hope for in a wedding coordinator/planner - professional, organized, prompt, kind, and gets things done!! I have nothing but the best things to say about her! Thank you, Amanda, for helping make our wedding weekend absolutely perfect.
