    I cannot imagine planning our wedding without Papaya!

    Papaya Wedding Planning and Amy were truly a blessing during our Covid wedding(s)! Our original wedding was scheduled for 3.27.2020; however, Covid-19 had other plans. My husband and I had to make major changes within 2 weeks of our original date due to the every changing quarantine policies - with Amy’s assistance we modified our original plans to an intimate 7 person ceremony and then rescheduled our larger celebration to 10.2.2020. I don’t know how we would have done all of it without Papaya Wedding Planning and Amy! She immediately reach out to all of our vendors, securing the new date and finding replacements when necessary. She kept me calm and sane during all of the craziness and made BOTH of our weddings special!
    Probably the best compliment we can give Amy and Papaya is that we are hiring them to help with my daughter’s upcoming wedding in 2022!!!

    Amy is the BEST

    Amy was so experienced, flexible, kind...I could go on and on. The whole process was enjoyable. I never had to wonder whether she was on top of it or if I had to follow up. She was in constant communication with me and the other vendors so we were all on the same page. She had a great relationship with all of the vendors we had, and I got the impression that was the case for all vendors in town. On top of that, I had the dreaded thunderstorm, flooded reception that every bride fears of having. But Amy made me feel at ease, she helped me change plans multiple times as we navigated the weather. She was so easy going and went above and beyond anything I could’ve expected from a coordinator. You can tell she’s experienced and has truly seen it all/worked through every scenario. If you are debating which wedding coordinator to use- I’ll make the decision easy- work with Amy!!

    Amy is absolutely the BEST!

    Amazing-simply amazing! That's the only way to describe Amy and her team. We used Amy from the very beginning of the wedding process. She was always available to answer our questions, provide vendor information, secure vendors for us, make appointments, and the list goes on and on. Our daughter's wedding was an outside event and we had a rain plan in place and Amy and her team executed it flawlessly. The entire wedding was wonderful and the perfect day. Everyone said throughout the wedding we all seemed so calm and relaxed, and our response was always "we have Amy--she's absolutely the best!"

    Amy is amazing, hire her.

    Amy was amazing throughout the wedding planning process and on the wedding day. Her clear communication made it a breeze to work with her and she knew and hired all the right vendors. She was detail oriented and went the extra mile. For example, she ordered wooden chairs in place of the white chairs the venue provided, knowing it fitted our aesthetic.

    The wedding day was absolutely perfect, despite having to move the wedding to the next day last minute due to a tropical storm, and no doubt all due to Amy's planning and hard work. It went so smoothly and was effortless for me, the bride, so I could focus on enjoying the day. Hire Amy, she will not disappoint.

    Amy is the "MVP": Most. Valuable. Planner!!!

    Amy is worth every single penny! I got engaged in late Feb. 2020. Weeks later, the pandemic hit. Granted, my wedding was in April 2021, but we had no idea what the future would bring. Throughout the whole process, Amy was calm, confident and has GREAT advice. She also works with the most amazing vendors and is always available if you have a question. That alone is worth it's weight in gold. But THEN, on my actual wedding day, we had SEVERE weather. Not only was it pouring rain, I'm talking golf ball size hail that knocked the power out for hours! But this didn't phase Amy and her team at all. She and I talked about arranging our ceremony indoors the day before knowing severe weather was extremely likely. She reimagined my ceremony into a beautiful romantic vibe. Then, when the weather turned upside down, she didn't miss a beat, having a generator brought in, making sure I was okay and through it all, NEVER and I mean NEVER seemed frazzled. The day started out chaotic, but by ceremony time, the sun came out and it was literally the PERFECT day. My family, bridal party and guests all loved her. Because of her, what could have been a totally overwhelming wedding planning/wedding day experience, was relaxing, easy and most of all, fun. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are planning a wedding because NOTHING phases this woman and she will help you create the wedding of your dreams!

    Our perfect and beautiful dream wedding came to life thanks to Mrs. Amy!

    Our perfect and beautiful dream wedding came to life thanks to Papaya wedding planning (Mrs. Amy). She exceeded our expectations of a wedding planner . I went to Amy about a year before my wedding with my favorite ideas and she put it all together . I would definitely recommend her for a wedding planner to anyone who has a vision for their beautiful day but also likes someone’s to be their every step of the way and make sure things run smoothly :)

    Mother of the Bride

    Amy was such a pleasure to work with from starting to plan our daughter’s dream wedding day to the day of the wedding. It was so nice the day of the wedding to be able to just enjoy everything about the day and not miss out on time with our daughter and other family members worrying about the details.

    The best investment we made!

    Amy was by far one of the best investments we made during the wedding planning process. She was so helpful during the design process and really was able to bring our wedding vision to life. Amy was very attentive and quick to respond anytime we had questions and her connections helped us to secure the best vendors for our big day!

    Our wedding was originally planned to be fully outdoors with no tent, and when the weather reports started coming out a week before the wedding showing that it was most likely going to rain, she was able to quickly secure us the perfect tent and suggested we order some clear umbrellas. The day of the wedding she was able to easily revamp the initial layout with her rain contingency plan and fit all the guest tables, bars and band stage up under the gorgeous tent. It rained for 30 minutes during dinner and Amy and her team used the umbrellas to shuttle our guests back and forth from the tent to the buffet that was set up inside the house.

    Our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined and it was all thanks to Amy and her team. I could not recommend Papaya Wedding Planning enough to anyone planning their wedding!

    Best Planner Ever!!!

    Where do I even begin?! I cannot say enough amazing things about Amy with Papaya nor can I recommend her enough! It’s evident that she has a true passion for planning weddings and takes the time to get to know you not just on a professional level but on a personal level, as well, to ensure everything turns out just as you would hope. From recommending and coordinating everything with our vendors to decorating and setting up the day of, she truly took our dream wedding and turned it into our reality. The amount of time, hard work and dedication she put in to ensure everything was perfect for us is astounding, and my husband and I are beyond grateful for everything.

    This is the 2nd time we have used Papaya Wedding Planning. Amy was professional, flexible, and always on top of every detail. We always felt like we were working with a friend.

    Absolutely the best investment we made

    From day 1 of meeting Amy, my husband and I were blown away by her professionalism, expertise, and vision. Interpersonally, Amy is just a joy to be around and she managed to be a source of certainty and relief during moments of pre-wedding stress. She knows Tallahassee and sees beauty and potential in every venue. On the big day, Amy and her team made everything come together seamlessly and the result was incredible (jaw-dropping, really) and so very "us".

    Goes the extra mile to make your day!

    Amy was helpful from the first day I met her. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Tallahassee. She knows the ins and outs of weddings, has great relationships with vendors and every little detail that goes in to the day. She will advise you on anything you need assistance with related to your wedding. I could not have pulled it off without her.

    Professionalism and Compassion

    Amy and her team were not only super professional throughout the wedding planning process, they were also keenly aware of my stress level and did everything in their power to provide a calming presence and solutions for everything that I was worried about. It started to rain during my OUTDOOR reception and her team rallied the vendors to ensure that the evening proceeded without a hitch. I would have been a soaked and tearful bride if her team had not been by my side. Thank you Amy and team!

    Professional and personal planner

    Amy's team supported us from vision through the wedding weekend. She offered advice on handing all issues that arose and contacts to vendors that were professional and worked together as a team. She allowed our family to fully be a part of the service/ceremony rather than dealing with details. We highly recommend Papaya!

    Best decision after saying "yes" to my now-husband!

    How can I possibly put into words how wonderfully helpful Amy with Papaya Wedding Planning was?!

    I knew from the first time I spoke with Amy that she would be the perfect wedding planner for me. She was immediately warm, helpful and ready to jump right in with planning. Throughout our 7 month planning process, Amy kept me on track with selecting vendors, decorations and all other aspects of pulling together our dream wedding. She was always quick to respond to emails and texts, and was available by phone whenever I had questions or concerns.

    Then came Hurricane Michael, and everything changed. We were no longer able to get married at our top-choice venue because of power-loss and property damage. Amy swooped in as soon as the storm had passed with not one but THREE location alternatives. She walked my mom, me and my now husband through all of them, talking details of how she would transform each space to meet our original wedding vision. When we decided on the DoubleTree rooftop deck for new wedding venue, Amy pulled through and created a soft, elegant and dreamy space for us that surpassed everything I had hoped for. Without her, I don't know how or when we would have been able to get married!

    Thank you, Amy and Papaya Wedding Planning for being there for us throughout the whole planning process, and for going above and beyond to make sure we had a beautiful wedding day. I am beyond grateful to have had you as my wedding planner!!

    The absolute best!

    There really aren't enough superlatives to describe how wonderful Amy is. My daughter's wedding was scheduled just days after Hurricane Michael came through Tallahassee. Amy did not let that stop the wedding. She came up with a new venue and contacted all the vendors. There was nothing she couldn't handle -- and we threw a lot at her. Her professionalism and compassion were beyond what I could ever have expected.

    I don’t even know where to begin! From the beginning of the planning process a year ago, Amy was there every step of the way. From our initial meeting, I knew she was the perfect person to help make our wedding day the best day ever and she 120% did that. Every meeting I had with her, I felt more and more at ease. Not only does she give you great recommendations to some amazing vendors, she makes your vision come to life and more. A wedding can be overwhelming, but Amy takes care of it all with such grace and confidence that you don’t have to worry about a thing aside from enjoying yourself. Rain is something you can’t control, but Amy made numerous phone calls to give me options on what could be done in case of rain. When the call had to be made to move inside, she made it happen and quick. It turned out just as beautiful inside as it would have been outside! I can’t thank Amy enough for all that she did to make our wedding day the most memorable day not only to us, but to our guests as well. Aside from being the best wedding planner out there, she is an amazing person that I’ll cherish forever! She quickly became a friend and I’m so thankful for that. If you are looking for a wedding planner that you can trust 100% so the wedding planning is fun and you don’t have to lift a finger the day of the wedding, she’s right here! I could go on and on about how great she is. Thank you so much for everything! We are so thankful for you!

    Amy was absolutely fantastic. I had so many people tell me it was stupid to hire a wedding planner. I am SO GLAD I did not listen to them. My daughter and her fiance chose a rustic venue where everything had to be provided. Amy took care of finding vendors for us and arranging delivery. She thought of so many details that never even occurred to me. She handled the rehearsal and she and her team set up everything on the wedding day. The venue looked so beautiful. I can not say enough good things about Amy and Papaya Wedding Planning.

    Two words: Use Amy. You will not regret it at all. This is by far the best money we spent on our wedding. We did the highest package Amy offers so we could meet anytime to discuss wedding things. She was so on top of EVERYTHING and it made wedding planning so easy and enjoyable. She knows all the best people and is just such a pleasure to work with! She also makes the day of your wedding run so smoothly. I definitely could not have had such a great wedding without her!!

    Amy was amazing! She came up with so many great ideas during the wedding planning process. The ceremony went exactly as planned and the day was much less stressful with her assistance. When issues with another vendor arose, she immediately took charge and made sure everything was taken care of. She and her crew were able to flip the room from ceremony to reception in only one hour and the results were beautiful! I would highly recommend Amy to anyone planning a wedding!

    Amy was THE best thing that happened to our wedding. She is beyond incredible! She helped with every little detail and made planning our wedding so easy. I don't know what we would have done without her! I highly recommend her to anyone who is getting married. She and her team went above all of my expectations and made my wedding a fairy tale. Every time I showed her a picture of something I wanted to do for the wedding, she already had someone who can do it for me!

    Because of Amy and her team, I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. Amy is simply the best!! She was responsive with any questions we had. She assisted with vendors every step of the way whether by phone/email or in person, which helped to make the process of planning and coordinating go smoothly. We could not have had the beautiful wedding ceremony and reception that we did at Mission San Luis on January 20, 2018 without Amy and her team. Thank you Papaya Wedding Planning!
