    Simply the best!

    Amber is the epitome of a boss woman and ultimate wedding planner!
    I had an ultra romantic and super lush floral wedding style in mind and Amber went above and beyond to make sure we got just that.
    Not only is Amber a true professional, but she is also kind, personable, thoughtful, understanding, and has an incredible eye for detail to make sure that everything is perfect for you. Even if she has several weddings to plan at the same time, you will never feel it when you talk to her because she makes sure to make you feel that your needs are prioritized and cared for.
    Whatever your budget is, she will make sure to respect it and give you the best recommendations.
    Whenever we felt uneasy about an estimate or idea, Amber handled it swiftly to keep our minds at ease - which is so important when it comes to wedding planning because you really don’t know how much goes on behind the scenes to make a successful wedding happen but she does. She understands the timeline for wedding planning to make sure you have everything you need in time but can also pull out backup ideas/vendors like a magic trick.
    So if that that wasn’t enough for you, witnessing how Amber interacted with each wedding vendor she recommended to us was proof of how much respect she has in the wedding industry and how much respect she has for them.
    Everyone we worked with shared the same qualities as Amber and had obviously formed a great connection with her from prior work together as well.
    The team we put together was truly a dream team. Amber made sure that everyone was always on the same page and our wedding felt like a blink of an eye because of how smoothly everything was handled.
    In short, Amber is the best wedding planner. Her work ethic is incomparable and if you want the most beautiful memory of you wedding day, Amber is your gal.
    We love you, Amber!

    Professional, Efficient, Fun To Work With!

    Working with Amber made planning our wedding from across the country a breeze! She is calm and collected, honest, efficient, organized, really a true pleasure to work with. My husband and I never felt pressured to make any sudden decisions. She is always transparent and provided variety of options that respected our budget. Most importantly, Amber would always create an inviting space for us to be ourselves during the entire planning process, and that is what we loved most about working with A. Renee Weddings & Events!

    Truly the BEST

    Working with Amber was hands down THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. We were one of the many pandemic couples who ended up having to postpone our wedding date twice between 2020 and 2021. Amber was there every step of the way, handled everything seamlessly, and went above and beyond to ensure we ended up having the best wedding. When we were first interviewing wedding planners after we had gotten engaged (2018), Amber came extremely prepared with examples of her work and sample files of how she plans/executes weddings. She was head and shoulders above anyone else we interviewed and we immediately knew she was the one.

    During the planning process, Amber was always there to answer my endless amount of questions and help me with my extreme indecisiveness. She is very organized and kept us on track for all things for our wedding (both financially and timeline-wise). She is very honest and all her recommendations for vendors were the absolute best/you couldn't go wrong with any of them. We were able to put our full trust in her very early on.

    When it came to design, Amber is very creative and has a great eye for everything. We had a very unconventional vision to capture the surreal vibe inspired by a horror movie called Annihilation (very colorful florals that don't exist in real-life and kind of have a weird/creepy vibe about them) and Amber was completely on board. We also added the extra complication of having so many different hanging installations for the florals and the lighting (a big disco ball installation with chandeliers) . She recommended the vendors that she thought would go best with our vision and we really ended up with the ultimate dream team. When finalizing design, I had a couple reservations about some of her color choices, but we ended up going with it and it couldn't have been more perfect. She is truly an expert!

    With the pandemic, she seamlessly handled coordinating with our vendors and was completely there for us even though she had the busiest wedding season of all time this past summer (2 wedding seasons in 1). We are truly grateful for all the work she had put in when her bandwidth was spread as thin as it was. In our final coordination meetings with all our vendors leading up to our wedding day, she really showcased her expertise by asking all the right questions to ensure everyone was prepared to have things running smoothly the day of. Without this, we honestly would have missed so many things and not have been able to enjoy our wedding day ourselves.

    Fast forward to our wedding day, her day of coordination was impeccable. I was relaxed the entire day and knew I could trust her with everything. We fully enjoyed our entire wedding day/night and were able to eat and party without any concerns. With the amount of coordination that was required from the many different vendors and the countless amount of installations that had be installed that day (lighting, SO many floral installations, etc.), it truly was executed perfectly. She was also just the best energy to have around and I cannot think of a single issue that happened.

    I highly recommend Amber as a planner, designer, and/or day-of coordinator for any of your event needs. She is very knowledgeable, organized (a perfectionist!), creative, responsive, and just an overall wonderful person. She goes above and beyond for all her clients and has a great eye for any type of design. Having her be in our lives for the past 3 years has been the best and we are so grateful to have met her and worked with her on our wedding. Our guests have all commented that our wedding is the best they've ever attended and we'll remember every single detail for the rest of our lives.
