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.We LOVED working with Chanda, Alejandra, and Syrhonda! The entire AMA team is kind, professional and create beautiful weddings.

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.We had the best experience working with A Monique Affair to plan our dream wedding.

Whoa! Wedding experience was waaaay better than we could have imagined
First, huge thanks to Chanda and team for helping us every step of the way to create a beautiful wedding. Part of me feels like a guest in awe of a beautiful wedding, the other part feel like the queen and king of a major event. Because of their attentiveness and organization, we both were able to be fully present the whole weekend really. I don’t know how A MONQUIE AFFAiR put it all together, we gave three photos for inspiration and vague words like ”dreamy” “vibes” “joy”. I have to breakdown our experience:
Planning- we met monthly but Chanda and team always made themselves available between meetings or clarification and reminders. Chanda and the team are genuinely sweet people who care. I would not have known she was actively working with other couples. They made us feel heard and special. They have a system that helps with reminders, communication, and seating and all that. They set-up all the meetings to meet with vendors and creatives. We were never pushed and always provided options on who to select. All of our vendors were amazing!
Wedding Day- OMG, I’ve never had concierge /assistant support. We both had a dedicated assistant. They helped in ways that I didn’t imaged needing help. Our families can get overwhelmed pretty easily, it was so nice having someone right there helping us along the way. I was hungry Syrhonda brought me a breakfast sandwich and coffee, my feet were hurting she was right there my my flats, I needed to communicate something to my dad- she sent the message, when I got nervous- she played soothing music . I didn’t touch my phone the whole wedding. I am so grateful! The week leading up to the wedding I was so relaxed, I felt like I should be stressed, but everything was handled.
In review, our wedding was a cry fest…so much love …so much drama-free joy…all the parts in place..and thanks to A MONIQUE AFFAIR ! We were blessed to celebrate our union in a way that felt authentic and heartfelt not only for us but our guests.
Thank you!!!

A True Professional with Excellent Taste
Working with A Monique Affair was an absolute JOY. From our first discovery call through to our wedding day, the process - what to expect, when to get to work, when to relax and who was responsible for what was made so explicitly clear - we felt eternally well represented and supported. Chanda and her team worked with us to put together a package that was right for our unique situation and went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. They are so incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and were instrumental in helping us navigate what ultimately was most important to us - family, friends, a weekend long event we could settle into, and a design aesthetic that was beautiful, vibrant, and laidback. We were working with a tight budget, but had a real vision for all the details and they would fit together. AMA and Chanda helped us deliver in every aspect including managing the day so effortlessly that we were able to really live in the moment and enjoy everything we had put together. On top of Chanda's taste and professionalism, she is warm, funny, down-to-earth and a joy to be around. As a queer female couple, she always made the tradition of a wedding feel accessible and inclusive to us and we were never left apologizing for not fitting into a standard mold. We warmly refer to her as our Queery-Godmother and wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We cannot recommend A Monique Affair enough!!Working with A Monique Affair was an absolute JOY.

Exceptional & Outstanding Wedding Coordination
I still remember when called Chanda crying, burnt out, and feeling overwhelmed. My venue in Big Sur required a day of wedding coordinator - and EVERYONE I called for weeks in Monterey County was booked. Now, I am not a well known person or a celebrity - but I desperately needed help to feel supported, guided and represented. Once I spoke with Chanda, I felt taken care of, heard and most importantly, seen. Syrhonda, our coordinator, was utterly phenomenal. Each logistics meeting, design meeting and vender referral made me feel calmer, trust them more and feel that they understood my vision. EVERYONE, including Kristy, my personal day of support woman and our additional location coordinator made my wedding day absolutely exceptional. Because of A Monique Affair, I truly had the wedding ceremony of my dreams in Big Sur, California. Mere words cannot express how much gratitude I have for this company. I will forever be grateful for the process that brought me to them. Simply put, thank you.I still remember when called Chanda crying, burnt out, and feeling overwhelmed.

Exceptional service!!
Chanda made the experience of planning our wedding as fun and stress-free as possible! She’s creative, organized, patient, and did a wonderful job of making our ideas and vision for our wedding come to life. Chanda pays attention to the details, really listened to us, and had fantastic ideas to contribute. She beautifully balanced guiding us when we needed guidance and letting us take the lead when that’s what would be best. And on top of her and her team’s incredible service, they were all lovely humans to work with! We couldn’t recommend Chanda more - you’d be so lucky to have her help you plan your big day!Chanda made the experience of planning our wedding as fun and stress-free as possible!

Top Notch Planning and Execution
Chanda and her team were amazing. Chanda helped my daughter and her bride-to-be all through the planning and design process, and was always enthusiastic, informative, and helpful. She didn't blink when informed that the ladies wanted a "chic geek" wedding--and went on to help them bring that vision to life. The wedding was full of personal elements that reflected the "Kingdom Hearts" theme, but never strayed from being tasteful and elegant. My 94-year-old aunt thought it was the most beautiful wedding she had ever been to.
Chanda helped us find many of the important vendors--flowers, invitations (and signage), DJ, pie (no cake for these brides), and more. Our monthly zoom meetings and regular emails kept everyone on track (no easy feat with my ADHD daughter), and the team on the day of the wedding was amazing--no detail was overlooked, no issue (there weren't many) wasn't resolved smoothly and immediately.
I found "A Monique Affair" via the internet, and I am so glad I did!
When my daughter and her bride made that first call, the connection was immediate, and lasted throughout our time together. The fee was well worth the peace of mind Chanda and her team gave us--we could just enjoy the wedding, and we did!Chanda and her team were amazing.

Chanda is the best!
We hired her for my daughter's wedding and she exceeded our expectations. She's calm and cool at all times, full of great ideas, and very detailed oriented. My nephew is getting married next year and we plan on hiring Chanda as soon as he sets a date.We hired her for my daughter's wedding and she exceeded our expectations.

They made our day joyful and worry-free!
Our daughter selected A Monique Affair because Chanda is experienced and our daughter and son-in-law felt great chemistry with her from the beginning. Syrhonda was our wedding day director and was amazing from beginning to end! Our daughter and son-in-law chose all the venues and vendors, we contracted them together, and A Monique Affair had a system for us to upload all the contracts. My husband and I don’t live in CA, so it was so convenient to able to look at all the contracts on our phones and not drag my huge wedding binder with me when we were in town. Syrhonda reached out to all of our vendors and made sure she knew who the contacts were in preparation and on the wedding day. She dealt with my MOB nerves and concerns and gave us complete confidence that she had a handle on everything and would be able to tackle anything that came their way. When I was anxious, she was calm and joyful. The ceremony was at the UC Botanical Garden and the reception was at the UC Faculty Club. Syrhonda was particularly helpful because she works on the UC campus and has detailed knowledge of parking requests and university requirements. A Monique Affair has done many weddings at the garden, so they have a great working relationship with them. Syrhonda orchestrated our rehearsal beautifully. She even had contacts at the Graduate Hotel, and they made us feel so welcome, accommodated and celebrated!
A Monique Affair has another system online that helped our daughter track RSVPs, drag and drop guests into table assignments, and a checklist to keep us on track and make sure we weren’t forgetting anything. This system had a timeline for the rehearsal and wedding day. It was so convenient for us to check it on our phones / computers for reference and then communicate to the bridal party, family and friends what was happening and when.
On the wedding day, A Monique Affair had event techs at our two hotels and both event venues, and Syrhonda was supervising everything. We had Kimi with us all morning as we got ready. She was fun and ready to help whenever we needed her. There were unforeseeable issues, as there will be, that came up - timing of food delivery while I was getting my hair done, one lost bus driver, a last-minute parking request, and even scissors to cut off tags at the ceremony. I never had to worry because the team handled it all with grace. They had smart watches and phones to communicate with each other all day. They were never flustered and I could be present and completely enjoy the day. Bailey was at the Faculty Club all day from event setup to cleanup. They made sure we knew where and with whom everything was going after it was all over.
I don’t know how we could’ve done it without the whole team. They were extremely professional, genuinely nice and really fun to be with. Thank you for making our day special and so memorable in all the good ways!

Best decision!
Chanda, Syrhonda, and their team were a complete life saver. They were such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. They were timely, professional, and extremely efficient - making sure to bring our vision to life. Oh, and they're so incredibly kind!
I was more on the indecisive side, and if left to my own devices I would have pushed every decision to the very last minute :) But the AMA team kept us on track with the most gracious attitude. My parents in particular were apprehensive about pretty much every detail, all of which was alleviated by Chanda and Syrhonda's expertise and calm demeanor.
I got so many compliments from guests on how smooth the evening felt - they noticed that all the details had been handled with care. All of our decorations were set up and perfectly in place. Guests were guided to the right places at the right times. Everyone was well fed and enjoyed the evening without worrying about logistical things. I was even thanked for greeting each of our guests individually -- a plan the AMA team helped us prepare for and execute!
I am forever grateful to this team! Without them, I would not have been able to enjoy my day as much as I did.Chanda, Syrhonda, and their team were a complete life saver.

A Monique Affair created a timeless and elegant wedding that our guests still are raving about!
A Monique Affair is a life saver! I am someone who is always prone to stress and planning a wedding was an overwhelming experience. We were so happy and grateful to have discovered A Monique Affair; a company that prides itself on creating impeccable, timeless weddings. Chanda took the time to understand our personality and vision for the wedding. She wanted to know everything about us from our favorite song to the type of personality our parents had. This extra step of truly getting to know us made the wedding planning experience very enjoyable. We really didn’t want the overall experience to end, but Chanda is such a warm and caring spirit that we have continued to be friends with her even after the wedding!
The wedding day was flawless! Chanda is probably the most punctual person we have ever worked with and it showed the day of the wedding. All the vendors were on time and knew exactly where they needed to be. The day ran so smoothly. Four months later, our friends and family are still saying that it was THE BEST WEDDING they have ever attended! Chanda surpassed our expectations and we are thankful that she was a part of our milestone.A Monique Affair is a life saver!

Wonderfully Personal and Professional
Chanda and A Monique Affair did a wonderful job supporting my spouse and I through the wedding planning process. We felt sooo cared for the whole time! Chanda also connected with our wedding vision and executed it with grace and care. She also took the time to make a personal and professional connection with all our vendors!

Chanda and her team are ABSOLUTELY amazing! Chanda is very professional, organized, and timely. She has a sweet and humorous nature but is also realistic when it comes to budgeting.
She is very supportive and is an expert in the emotions that can run wild in the wedding process. She has a great eye for design and detail.
We loved her enthusiasm about weddings and everything to do with them. It's amazing working with a company that loves what they do.
Our guests gave many compliments the day of the wedding on how organized, smooth, and gorgeous our special day was.
I'm so happy we chose A Monique Affair.

Our wedding, to put simply, was perfect and this was because of A Monique Affair. Chanda and her team were able to help my now husband :) and I create a vision for our wedding that fit us as a couple. She then was able to find vendors that could execute that vision without any flaws. Finding good creative partners was especially important to us as we had already experienced some hesitation with other vendors when we explained that this would be an LGBT wedding. Chanda's 20 years of experience helped us avoid any issues and we got to interview and work with only the best the Bay Area has to offer. Every vendor she recommended and we worked with was professional and a joy to work with.
Another important aspect of our wedding planning was ensuring that no one in our wedding party or family had extra responsibilities beyond just being part of the wedding. We invited our family, wedding party, and guests to celebrate our marriage and have fun. Chanda and her team made sure that every detail was taken care of including getting lunch and ensuring everyone looked their best.
If we could, we would give Chanda and her team a higher rating than 5. From the rehearsal dinner, the after wedding brunch, to the actual wedding, we honestly couldn't think of anything that would have made our special day and experience any better and this wouldn't have been possible without A Monique Affair. Trust us, you'll want a wedding planner and you won't find anyone better than A Monique Affair.Our wedding, to put simply, was perfect and this was because of A Monique Affair.

Chanda knocked it out the park! In helping us plan our wedding, she was organized, detail oriented, efficient, and extremely friendly.
On the day of, she handled the execution perfectly. We hired her to do day of coordination for our wedding at a children's theme park. There were many moving parts but she and her crew were able to execute our vision well. Our wedding ran smoothly and on schedule, and everybody was happy, well fed, and ready for dancing when the time was right. We really appreciated how she took on all the small (and big details) and allowed us to just be present on our big day.
I will definitely recommend A Monique Affair to any and all future or current life partners looking to find help with their weddings, vow renewals, or any other big events. 5+ stars all the way!Chanda knocked it out the park!

What can I say?! Chanda knocked it out the park! In helping us plan our wedding, she was organized, detail oriented, efficient, and extremely friendly. She even had a special skill for calming our nerves when wedding planning started to get the best of us. I feel that this is unheard of, but she did such a good job helping us planning that my wife and I were able to have a relatively stress and planning free week leading up to the wedding.

Working with Chanda and her team is an absolute dream! We've had her coordinate at least 4 events for my small non-profit, and they've all been spectacular. Chanda is able to work within our tiny budget, find us top quality vendors, and create the best decorated/designed events for our attendees.Working with Chanda and her team is an absolute dream!

My experience with Chanda of A Monique Affair, was PHENOMENAL. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect for our day.
Did I mention that I work in the wedding and event industry? Yes, I am a full time wedding and event coordinator myself. Why then, did I hire a wedding coordinator and not plan the whole thing myself? I hired Chanda as a day of coordinator, which means it was her job to wrangle and communicate with all my vendors, keep everything organized, write my day of timeline – essentially to keep the train on track. Knowing that she was taking care of all the knitty gritty details freed me to concentrate on my own clients as well as the design for my own wedding.
She was fantastic to work with – super supportive of all of my ideas and on the other hand wasn’t afraid to tell me when something wasn’t working. I bombarded her with texts and emails concerning linens, flowers, china, glassware, flatware, seating charts and layouts. I kept waiting for her to tell me that I only hired her for day of coordination and that what I was asking did not fall under that package. She never batted an eye. She always gave me an honest opinion, always had the answer, always had a quick fix to any problem. It was amazing to have another planner that I respected to bounce ideas off of. I know it made her nervous to work for another planner (we’re honestly the hardest clients to please) but she never let it show. Her confidence, organization, communication and poise kept me calm throughout the entire planning process. I’ll always be grateful to her.
The bottom line: if you’re looking for a planner who cares about you having the best wedding possible, who has a vast network of contacts and resources, and someone who will bend over backward to make sure your wedding is perfect, look no further than A Monique Affair. You won’t be disappointed.My experience with Chanda of A Monique Affair, was PHENOMENAL. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect for our day.
