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.

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!!

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!!!
