Amy and her vendors were absolute professionals to work with. We forged a wonderful relationship from the beginning and this continued throughout the planning process. Every idea and detail were carried out as discussed. Amy really worked hard to find out my daughter and son-in-law's ideas so that every wish was incorporated into their day. Both my daughter (the bride) and me (the Mother of the Bride) were put at ease during the entire process. My husband blessed Amy every time we met with her or talked to her for making the experience so easy on all of us. We utilized conferenced calls as the bride, her parents, Amy and the venue were in diffrerent geographic locations. All of the vendors Amy referred us to were very talented and creative. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. All of our guests were in awe and have had nothing but positive comments regarding the spectacular wedding cermony, officient, the amazing decor, flowers, cake, ceremony music, DJ, and the ultimate venue for the destination wedding!!! Amy Byrd is now a part of our family!!! Our daughter and son-in-law said they couldn't have wished for anything more. The wedding photos are beautiful. It was the perfect day for the perfrect couple!

Working with Amy to plan our wedding was such a great experience!! She listened to what we wanted, asked the right questions and always delivered. She thought of every detail and kept us on track. She also recommend some amazing vendors based on our needs and budget. I could not have imagined planning our wedding without Amy. She was such an asset. Our wedding day turned out better than we could have imagined. Amy was fabulous!!!

Words cannot describe how amazing Amy and her team was in planning our July 2011 wedding. We encountered some usually difficult issues with our venue and Amy was right there, fighting for us the entire way though the process. Our wedding was one where we had to bring in everything, and Amy did an excellent job in coordinating our various vendors and made sure that everything went smoothly during the big day. There were many moments during our 8 months of planning where my fiancée and I exclaimed to each other how happy and relieved we were to have hired Amy - she truly “saved” our wedding and made it a great success. Besides being great at what she does, she is such a wonderful and kind person and I know we will stay friends for a long time.

Amy Byrd was my wedding planner for our wedding in Carmel Valley at Holman Ranch. We live in Los Angeles so it was important to have someone that had great relationships with vendors and could handle everything without me living there. Being a prior event planner myself, I know what a being a great planner entails and Amy was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Everything was perfect the whole weekend because of the job Amy did. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator in the area. It was the BEST money we spent.

I can't even begin to express what a wonderful wedding planner Beth Bellatti is. I was unsure about hiring a wedding planner due to some not so fabulous experiences some of my friends had with their planners. However, after speaking with Beth on the phone, I knew we had to have her! I was looking into a bunch of planners in the Monterey area, and Beth was the only planner who called to speak with me prior to our in-person meeting, in order to come prepared for our meeting. After meeting Beth, I booked her on the spot and cancelled the rest of my appointments with wedding planners. She was so attentive, understood exactly what we were wanting for our wedding and at our first meeting, provided florist (Reina Ramirez) and event rental company (Chic Events) referrals. We ended up using both her Reina and Chic Events, they were amazing. She had a close relationship with both of them as well as local companies for invitations, hair and makeup, photographer, etc.

Throughout the entire planning process she was readily available via email and phone. She was on top of everything and made sure the whole process was smooth and fun. The week of the wedding and the wedding day couldn't have gone better. She took care of everything, making sure that myself and my now husband didn't have to worry about anything on the day, but rather just enjoy ourselves. Not only was she a pleasure to work with professionally, but a completely awesome person. We got along so well, i felt like i was planning our wedding with close friend.

I would recommend Beth to any person who is planning a wedding or any type of event. She is fabulous at her job!!!

Beth was the most wonderful, patient and supportive wedding coordinator that has ever graced this planet. She met me on the telephone and with her sweetness let me know that my wedding would be perfect if she was the one to take care of it. I let her have complete control. She offered suggestions that I had never considered and frankly didn't want to think about.

We planned a beautifully intimate, romantic wedding that turned out to be wonderfully enchanting. She took care of every detail and stayed up all night working to make sure the reception decorations were perfect.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into the room. It was beautiful and looked just like the magazine photos I had only dreamed about. Beth arranged everything without me ever setting foot at the wedding venue before the day of the wedding. She coordinated with the florist, the bakery, and the rental company to make sure everything matched and harmonized with the decor. The colors matched perfectly. Every vendor was in sync and looked like they had all gotten together to bring my pink theme to life.

Most of all, she kept her gentle spirit throughout the several months that I worked with her. She was never impatient and never seemed frustrated with what I wanted her to do.

She is very creative and has wonderful ideas. She presented them in a non-overbearing manner and gave me plenty of space and time to think about whether I wanted to consider her ideas or simply use her ideas to create my own.

I would highly recommend her services for any bride to be.

If you're planning a wedding in the Carmel area, call Amy immediately. Amy has this amazing ability to be laid-back while still getting the job done. I can't even put into words how helpful and kind this woman is. We had a simply gorgeous wedding because of Ms. Amy Byrd.

I am so happy that we hired Beth Bellatti with Amy Byrd Weddings to help with my daughter's wedding.

Beth looked out for our best interest. She was my "eyes, ears and hands" and made sure that everything came together as planned. She took care of all the things I asked and more.

From the itinerary schedules, to arranging the tables in the ballroom, overseeing the decorations, lining up the final details with the transportation, the venue, the poppers for the sendoff, and the list goes on. I am forever grateful.

Diandra said we would have been lost without Beth at the rehearsal and the wedding day! I know because of Beth, that Diandra and Grant's Wedding, will always be a special memory.

I sincerely appreciate the big part you played in making this a special day for my daughter's wedding.

Sincerely,
Sharon Walls

When we first began planning our wedding, my fiancee and I weren't sure we would be able to afford a coordinator - but let me tell you, the money we spent to hire Amy Byrd was the absolute best investment we made throughout the entire planning process.

Amy is a perfect gem. She's a sweet, helpful, honest, and downright fun person to work with. She made every step easier, and when I was too Type A to ask for help she sorta forced me to take it anyway - an awesome trait for a wedding coordinator to have, lemme tell you!!

Everyone told me to expect problems on my wedding day, that not everything would go smoothly - but thanks to Amy, the day was as perfect as I had hoped & dreamed it would be. She and our caterer (see my review of A Taste of Elegance catering) went the extra mile to make our wedding absolutely beautiful, even when our pockets got tight near the end of the road. ;D

Amy is aces in my book. Thanks for making our day fantastic!

Amy Byrd Weddings is the best wedding planning service in Central California and beyond. Amy and her team were very responsive and professional to all our questions and concerns leading up to our wedding day and saw to it that the day itself was stress-free and incredible, not just for us, but for all of our guests. We consider ourselves very lucky to have had Amy help us with our wedding day AND to be able to call her our friend.

I received the absolute best service for our wedding planning from Amy Byrd Weddings. I can not think of any area to single out where they could improve on services provided.
They were wonderful to work with and took the pressure off of us. Feedback from our guests clearly support how I rated the categories above. To a person, they felt it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever attended (I feel the same).
Will recommend them a great vendor in the future!

If you are getting married in the Carmel Monterey area, a MUST for your wedding should be hiring Amy Byrd. I do not know if I can say enough in this blog, but I was EXTREMELY PLEASED and impressed by her professionalism and the services she provided. I will also add that if you do not live in the area, you would be crazy not to hire Amy. I have to admit that I met Amy initially, but foolishly thought I would not hire her, thinking of my budget and other ways to spend my funds. It is not that she is outrageously priced, I just figured I was organized enough to do many things by myself. I then moved the wedding up and contacted Amy for help. I got married a few weeks ago and can not tell you how many times MY HUSBAND AND I have said, "THANK GOD FOR AMY!" She has a ton of experience and contacts and she is awesome! She SAVED us money with her recommends, has creative unique ideas that I am still getting compliments on, works with in your budget when planning and takes care of every little detail. I am a very organized person but could not have imagined doing this without her services. I believe what really says it all, is when I was traveling to the reception from the church, I realized that she had answered every single one of my questions before I ever had to ask it...she anticipated everything! I enjoyed my day so much more because Amy was there and made it beautiful.

Our wedding day is/will be the most memorable experience of our lives thanks to Amy Byrd. She truly brought the day we had dreamed about to life. There was never a moment of stress during the planning process nor on the actual wedding day because of her. We enjoyed every minute of our experience getting married and didn't have to worry about any of the details the day of because she took care of them.

We highly recommend Amy to everyone we know getting married because we know she will make their wedding experience as magical as ours - and each time we recommend her, she does. We are so grateful for all she did for us and know you will love her too!

Amy Byrd takes wedding planning to the next level providing professional wisdom, as well as a calm energy that every bride needs around her while planning her special day. As the bride, it is easy to get wrapped up in the little things that embody a wedding, the ceremony and reception. Amy helps bring things into perspective and keeps you grounded while still fulfilling all your dreams that you envision on one of the most important days in your life. Not only did Amy go above and beyond as a planner at my wedding, she became a friend of mine and she truly is an amazing woman.
