You need a swanky affair

You always hear the wedding horror stories, of something being forgotten or missing. Want to avoid this? Then you need to hire A Swanky Affair and all your worries will be gone! I highly recommend Amanda and her team! My husband and I were looking to have the wedding of our dreams within our budget. Wedding planning and the wedding itself has a lot of details and you just can not be in control of them all. Having Amanda as our wedding coordinator was essential to us having a great wedding! Amanda was wonderful about answering my many questions and providing tips and options. Leading up to the wedding Amanda covers all details and final contact with your vendors! A HUGE HELP AND ESSENTIAL TO A SMOOTH WEDDING DAY! She knew exactly what our vendors needed and got all the final details and logistics into place. The wedding ceremony and reception layout that Amanda helps you with and lays out was a huge help and a big part of everything starting to come together in our planning. The day of the wedding she and her team were early and a calming presence to us all. They kept things moving and ensured everything was running smoothly and that we were having the best day! I never had to wonder if we were on time or worry about what was next. Amanda was always there gently guiding us through the day. I am so thankful for her help!

Amanda Was Fabulous!

Amanda was fantastic and I would absolutely recommend her to every one of my friends. She is well-organized, highly communicative, very knowledgeable of the local wedding industry (and industry at large) and went above and beyond for our wedding day. She did everything in her job description and more to help us navigate all of the ups and downs and twists and turns with COVID (we had an October 2021 date). We couldn’t have had the wedding day we did without her. Thanks Amanda for everything!!

Amanda is the BEST!

Amanda of A Swanky Affair is incredible! First things first, she's incredibly kind and easy to work with. But second, she makes sure that EVERY detail of your wedding is discussed and taken care of.

My now husband and I were scheduled to get married April 2020, so I'm sure you can imagine the chaos that came with rescheduling, new dates, new vendors, etc. Through every change, Amanda's attention to detail made the process smooth and manageable. She helped ease our stress and accommodated our questions and concerns.

When we finally were able to have our wedding in November of 2021, everything was seamless. The day ran so smoothly, I did not have to think about one detail. From the rehearsal to the ceremony, everything turned out beautifully and Amanda was a big part of this.

Overall, I highly recommend Amanda for your upcoming wedding!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
