We worked with Amazae from the moment we knew we wanted to get married (before we got engaged, technically. Ha). Both of us are extremely busy re: our jobs and knew that we wouldn’t be able to dedicate enough time to truly planning an event of this scale. If you’re on the fence, go with Amazae.

My husband, before we hired Amazae, was on the fence of whether or not we needed planning services. I told him that if we did not hire someone that there would be no wedding. By the time we had finished our venue search, he knew that I was totally right re: the amount of help you get by leveraging someone else’s expertise. You do this once (hopefully) in your life. Amazae does this all the time.

Amazae knew all the ins and outs of every venue that we could possibly think of in the Bay Area, Carmel, and Napa. They were able to tell us who was beer and wine only, who had a 10pm end time because of noise ordinances, and who required you to use certain caterers that were $x per head. This will save you SO much time and save you visits to random places that don’t meet your requirements.

Vendor sourcing - they are super good at this re: figuring out (or making you figure out what you like) who matches your style for every vendor, then finding one that fits in your budget. Most importantly, they will make sure everyone shows up (join any wedding FB group and read some horror stories). They will help you with all of the contracting and the collection of COIs, etc. Again, this would have been IMPOSSIBLE for myself and my now husband. We literally do not have the hours in the day to do this.

This team is on top of everything - they will chase you down if they need to for answers for pieces of your event. They can make anything happen - from the weirdest requests to the most mundane. They are so professional, and they really make your wedding super personal. Amazae designed and executed a beautiful event from beginning to end that felt so authentic to us. Day of, they were there to take care of everything, and it was truly a flawless day. We could not asked for a better planner re: Crystal, Kaila, and the rest of the team. We put full trust in them re: the design of this event and the day of. Example: I honestly did not know what florals were going to be there, but they were so stunning.

The strength of the Amazae team is in their ability to bring you and your personality into an event that is mostly structured a certain way. They also make your day as stress-free as possible. I cannot say enough positive things about this team and their ability to make your wedding great. If you’re down to hand things off to someone else, I would say hand it off to them. It will be better than what you could have come up with yourself.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Crystal as our wedding planner, and we cannot recommend her enough! From our very first meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. She listened carefully to our vision for our wedding day, and asked so many thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple.

Throughout the planning process, Crystal and her assistant Kaila were always available to answer our questions and to offer their invaluable guidance when choosing our vendors and making many other decisions. They kept us on track with deadlines and helped us stay within my budget without sacrificing any of the details that were important to us. Crystal’s attention to detail and logistics was exceptional, and she thought of things that we never would have considered on our own. We also appreciated how big of an advocate Crystal was for us and the relationship she built with our wedding venue coordinator.

On the day of the wedding, Crystal was a true professional. She made sure that everything ran smoothly, and that all of our vendors were on the same page. She handled any issues that arose behind the scenes, so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We was able to fully enjoy my wedding day, knowing that she had everything under control.

Overall, we are so grateful to Crystal for her expertise, professionalism, and kindness throughout the entire wedding planning process. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make your big day stress-free and unforgettable, Crystal with Amazae Events is the one for you!

We hired Amazae for two events: a family reunion/rehearsal dinner for 80 people and our wedding the next day for 185.

Crystal is an amazing listener. She asked us about our dream wedding during the Design Meeting. I think her Super Power is understanding what you want, but making it better than you ever could have dreamed. So, it was definitely "our wedding," only better.

Our family reunion/rehearsal dinner had karaoke, toasts, whiskey tasting, a photo booth, cigar rolling and a family style dinner. Everyone had such a good time!

Crystal and her team have great vetted vendors (we were pleased with all of them) and Amazae takes care of the contracts and all the details. A very painless process where we were left with all the joy and none of the headaches.

We recommend Crystal and Amazae as unbelieveable partners in creating and executing a dream wedding. They did that for us!
