Easiest and best decision

I cannot recommend Ambiance Events by April enough! From our very first meeting, they made me feel so at ease and confident that our wedding was in the best hands. April and Gabi took the time to listen to all our ideas and brought everything to life even better than I could have imagined. They are so creative and thought hp beautiful details that I would not have thought of.

Every detail was planned and executed flawlessly. We were able to enjoy the planning and weekend without stress. The whole weekend flowed so smoothly. It was a dream to work with Ambiance and I will never be able to express my gratitude and appreciation in words. Need to have another event so I can work with them again… the best!!!!

Gift I give myself

April and Gabi were exactly who and what we needed to take the bride and grooms ideas and make them happen. As the Mother of the Bride, my job was to put all the plans in place. Then I got to step back and enjoy while April and Gabi made it all happen. And that is why I call Ambiance "The gift I give myself" Without them, I would have been attending to details - instead I got to attend to my daughter! Thank you Ambiance!

They helped make our vision a reality BEYOND what we could have expected.

I cannot recommend April and Gabi enough. Our experience was amazing . We had a few ideas and they turned them into an absolute dream. All of the vendors they recommended were impeccable. We met a wedding planner and her daughter and they became friends who we trusted completely. Lovely, professional, creative, fun, thorough…all the adjectives!

Ambiance is the best decision I made!

April and Gabi were fabulous! They are knowledgeable, responsive, professional, calm, and fun! They were a pleasure to work with!

Absolutely amazing! She was attentive and made my planning so smooth.

April was extremely helpful in my wedding planning process and made the day of my wedding a breeze. I didn't have to worry about anything and handed everything over to her and her assistant, Elizabeth. Definitely recommend!

Worth every penny!

April did such an incredible job making sure that everything went smoothly. She made me aware of options I didn’t even know I had, but was so grateful for. She was quick to respond even during evening hours. She handled so much of the stressful responsibilities and was so flexible! My husband and I decided we wanted to leave the wedding about 30 minutes earlier than we had planned, and April made sure that it all went perfectly! She added such a special touch with her attention to detail, and she suggested a phenomenal caterer! Truly my wedding was beyond anything I could have imagined.

April is the wedding planner of anyone's dreams

April is so amazing to work with. She is so kind and so good at executing visions. I told her exactly what I was looking for and she made it happen, and then some. She means business, but in the best way possible. My husband and I's wedding day was the best day of our lives and it was solely because of April. If you live in the Wichita/Kansas City area - you should without a doubt hire her for any party planning/wedding planning needs that you have. She blew us away and hiring her was the best wedding decision that we made. WE LOVE YOU, APRIL!!!!
