Amanda helped us throw the wedding of our dreams after several times of rescheduling throughout Covid! Amanda helped us get organized months before our wedding day, and offered many services that went beyond the day of. Not only did she help us brainstorm unique ways of doing things, she also helped us build a timeline and organize our signs around the venue. Both my husband and I had little concept of the work it took to throw a wedding, and while he was skeptical of paying for a day of coordinator at fitst, he was quickly charmed by Amanda’s easy going personality and organization! I did not want a traditional wedding and Amanda definitely got the vibe we were going for! We would highly recommend Amanda’s services to any couple! Her outgoing and easy going personality made he great to work with.

Amanda simply couldn't have been more helpful for my wife and I. We were planning a wedding in Portland from San Diego, and Amanda went above and beyond to make everything as easy as possible. She had excellent recommendations for any and all services, and it's obvious she's done all of this countless times by now. Nothing was overlooked, everything went incredibly smoothly on our big day, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time, even with a 1000 mile distance between us. Our only regret is we're only getting married once! We couldn't recommend Amanda and her team more!

I seriously can't recommend Amanda and her team enough for your wedding needs! We had an engagement shorter than a year, and from the beginning they helped us stay organized and on schedule. They made the planning process not stressful at all. My vision for the day was perfectly executed. The table settings were beautiful, the flow between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner was seamless, and the timeline felt very natural. Alex was my day of coordinator and she was perfect. The team was so organized and prepared and I was able enjoy my morning knowing that they had it handled! Everything went according to plan all day!

Amanda and her team are hands down one of the best decisions we made in all of our wedding planning. She goes above and beyond to make your dreams come true, make sure your needs met, and put you at ease every step of the way. She was more than a wedding planner, she was our best friend, our advocate, and crisis manager when certain family members were acting out of turn. We had big dreams for our wedding day and she made every single one of the come true. When I first walked into our gorgeous venue all set up, I screamed and began hysterically crying. As a creative person myself, it was one of the greatest moments of my life seeing our vision come to fruition and it was all at the hands of Amanda. She truly was our fairy god mother and I highly recommend making her the captain of your wedding planning process. You certainly won't regret it and even more you will be thanking her for a lifetime!!!

Amanda is absolutely amazing! She made my wedding dreams come true and went above and beyond in every detail. Her team works their butts off to ensure everything is seamless, stress-free, and truly perfect—they even made my Diet Coke tower dream a reality! Because of Amanda, I was able to let go and not worry about a thing, so I could focus on what truly mattered on my special day. I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough!

If you’re reading this, you probably don’t know how insanely picky and easily overwhelmed I am. Please just take my word for it before you continue.

Put simply, I would have paid triple for Amanda’s help. No matter what your budget may be—she’s worth every penny and more. If I had to, I would have sold family heirlooms to keep Amanda. I would have sold a kidney to keep Amanda. I would have sold my husband to keep Amanda.

She was referred to me by our florist, who said “you won’t find anyone who will work harder for you.” Honestly, that sentence is a strong contender for Understatement of the Year. She worked harder than any person I’ve ever MET in my 31 years of life.

If there are any obstacles or problems leading up to your wedding day, you’ll never know about them. She will have anticipated and handled them well in advance.

Amanda just gets it. It’s like she’s in your head. And I truly think she would fight a bear if it meant protecting the integrity of your big day. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel like you could run blindfolded into traffic and not suffer so much as a scratch—because she’s got your back through thick and thin.

She’s also got the best connections, the best attitude, the best organization, the best team, the best recommendations… you get where I’m going with this. She is professional, experienced, friendly, assertive, talented, intelligent and will move heaven and earth to give you the best possible wedding you can reasonably imagine. She will set your expectations and exceed them anyway.

And she’ll travel to you. I live in Florida, but we got married in Washington. Amanda not only travels to wherever the hell you need her, she planned almost our entire wedding from Oregon. I basically got to be a passenger princess from the other side of the country.

She found a vendor for every niche little thing I could come up with… A painter to do our signs, which she had us ship to her home address so we didn’t have to travel with them. A bakery with a Swedish cake I loved as a kid. An officiant who literally made every single guest cry at her beautiful speech. Couches. She had custom COUCHES delivered to our venue so people could lounge for cocktail hour. I didn’t have to lift a finger.

People will not shut up about how perfect our wedding was. Listen, just hire her. I know this review is crazy, but you genuinely won’t regret it. Trust me—as an Italian woman and lifelong East-coast native, my standards are high and I am far from easygoing. I’m capable of Grinch-level hater behavior. Amanda just left me no choice but to give her 5 stars. She was THAT good.

We thought we could handle it. We thought we had it all figured out. HA! We were so wrong! Enter Amanda. With her experience, resources and absolute kindness - she handled everything. I cannot recommend her and her team enough. They took our vision and turned it into a beautiful and stress-free wedding. We were able to enjoy our day to the fullest by focusing on each other, our family and our friends rather than food, decorations, schedule etc etc etc. If you are wavering on having a coordinator - DO IT. And we hope you choose Amanda Jean Events!

We loved working with Amanda to plan our wedding and coordinate our big day! Amanda made sure to keep us organized and on track with planning all the way down to the details. She took care of everything on our wedding day and made sure the day unfolded smoothly without any issues. She’s so kind and easy to work with and really puts care and effort into her couples. You won’t go wrong with Amanda.

If you are looking for a wedding planner in the Gorge then you should hire Amanda! Working with her was nothing short of an absolute pleasure. She provided so much support and assistance throughout our entire wedding planning and made everything so easy. I was so impressed with the level of support we received leading up to the wedding, but on our actual wedding day, I was blown away! Amanda and her team stopped at nothing to ensure our day was perfect. This squad will go above and beyond for you every chance they get. Amanda is a true professional and cares greatly for her couples. I could honestly go on and on, but moral of the story, if you are having a wedding in the gorge then do yourself a favor and hire Amanda!!!

Working with Amanda for over a year to plan our wedding was incredible! Amanda quickly picked up on the things my partner and I liked, helped us find the best vendors for our wedding, keep our organized and accountable in the decision making process, and answered all of our questions truthfully while keeping our best interests at heart.

On the day of the wedding, my partner and I felt confident and at ease knowing that we were in good hands with Amanda and her team, and were able to just truly enjoy our special day. Amanda was kind, patient, thoughtful, responsive, organized and so much more and we cannot recommend them enough for all of your wedding needs!
