Each event has its own journey and destination, and my job is to help get you there with a little less worry and a lot more style.
One and Only’s are my jam!
Looking for your big day to stand our from the rest? Want your guests to experience a new way to wedding? I’m a boutique wedding designer that does one and only’s. Your wedding won’t look or feel like any other. Let me create a dream day or weekend for you and your guests.
“Month Of” Wedding Specialist
“Day Of” planner is a fallacy. To pull off your picture perfect day, we need a full month to pull it all together. Hire me to handle all the details, little to big, so you can absorb the joy of this day. This option is for the bride who has started the planning process but is ready to relax and enjoy the last few months before the big day – stress-free. Let me manage the important details. From finalizing and managing vendors, last-minute coffee shop runs and lighting the candles, you’ll toast and dance the night away with no worries. I’ll step in, and we will finish this amazing journey together!
Big Idea Girl
Looking for a BIG idea? Something innovative for your guests? Did you know that experiences are more impactful for attendees than picking the right centerpiece? Let me bring something splashy and fun to your next personal or social event. From vendor selections to the WOW factor, I have it covered. We will work closely from the beginning to create the event of your dreams. All you have to do is give me the inspiration, and I’ll make it happen from there. Connect your vision to a memorable experience.
Want to see if we are a “match”?
Our first personal meeting will be a complimentary one hour information gathering session to see if I can be of assistance to you on your big day. After that, we will come up with a game plan to set your event in motion.

There really aren’t adequate words to describe how thankful I am for April. There is nothing this lady can’t do. It’s stressful enough planning a wedding, but planning during a pandemic was something I certainly wasn’t prepared for. April was ALWAYS a simple phone call, text, email, or FaceTime away. She answers any and all questions promptly, because she knows the importance of putting her brides at the top of her priority list. She was my mine and my mom’s saving grace as we navigated re-scheduling my wedding as a team. Our wedding looked different than we had initially expected it to, but it was more than we could’ve ever dreamed of. It was perfect & April made sure of it. We owe so much of our special day to her & her team ❤️. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, take my advice AND DO IT! April will forever hold a special place in our lives.

Thank goodness for April
April was a day of coordinator for our wedding at the Barn at Grace Hill in September. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She truly handled the day seamlessly. I didn't have to worry about a single thing other than enjoying my wedding day. Even when the linens showed up 2 and a half hours late, she made sure the tables were set and ready for guests with time to spare even. I'm sure there are things I'm not even aware of that happened and she handled perfectly, and I don't know about them because she is that good at what she does. Even my parents said, April was the best decision we made. Highly recommend!

Dream wedding!
April did the most amazing job of planning and designing my wedding. She took my ideas and ran with them! Her attention to detail was impeccable as well as making sure I got all the things that I wanted. It was also such a relief to have her get in touch with vendors and make sure everything was scheduled and set up as needed for our big day. I can’t thank April enough for helping me get my dream wedding ❤️

Team of Ambiance Events by April
April Johnson
Owner.Designer.Planner.
Ambiance has been my dream since I left for culinary school in 1995. A love for food, spirits, events and a good time fueled the passion to create Ambiance.
After 20 years in this industry, I have seen and done it all. This wide scope of experience brings a global look to each event I am fortunate enough to plan. I have worked years to gather new and unique vendors, cultivated relationships locally and nationally, and a constant consumer of inspiration. I love to dream big and deliver specialized events. And cookie cutter is not in my vocabulary.
No matter the scale, being invited to be a part of someone’s special day is the ultimate compliment and reward.
April, is a delight to work with! Very organized, detailed & fun!
Abode Venue Banquet Halls
April and her staff at Ambiance are fabulous to work with. We always have a blast with each other and the level of professionalism is TOP NOTCH! From décor ideas to attention to detail throughout the entire process, its magnificent!
We've been fortunate enough to work with Ambiance Events by April several times and the level of professionalism and creativity is unparalleled! Everything always runs smoothly from beginning to end and we know that guests will be in a great, party, picture-taking mood at any Ambiance event!
