Wedding at Great Marsh Estate

We absolutely loved working with Amy for our wedding! She was extremely helpful and provided some great ideas. She designed my wedding exactly the way I pictured it and it was the best day. Amy is super responsive, organized, and everything ran so smoothly. Thank you so much for everything!

Our most important vendor

I cannot say enough about Amy's organization and demeanor. She is empathic, goal-driven, and amazingly capable as a planner. She put out fires, wrangled groomsmen, and brought style and class to our wedding. There were many details I had strong opinions on, and Amy honored those opinions perfectly. There were other details I couldn't make decisions on, and I knew that leaving those up to her discerning eye would leave them in the most trustworthy hands. Truly a joy to form a relationship with this wonderful woman. I'll have to come up with a reason for her to hold my hand through another event in the near future.

Great wedding planner!

Amy was great to work with and put us at ease the second we hired her. She was always professional, communicative, and tuned into what we wanted. She always kept us on track, and her experience and advice were so helpful for so many different aspects of wedding planning. She kept it real as to our budget and what we could accomplish within that, which was very much appreciated at the outset! She also had great recommendations for vendors and we were very happy with the ones she vouched for. On the day of, Amy was invaluable and we were relaxed because she and her team took care of everything, including a down-to-the-minute day-of timeline. We didn't need to worry about communicating with any vendors or making sure that X thing happened at Y time, because she was running the show from behind the scenes. We could not have had our wedding without her!

Planning Perfection!!!

Amy is amazing, and I would have been lost without her. We had a fabulous team of vendors, and the day was styled to perfection - really all thanks to her. Amy totally got our vision and worked within budget to recommend vendors and options that would work cohesively to bring to life the wedding of our dreams. She was always responsive, flexible, and organized, not to mention one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! On the day of the event, Amy was there making sure everything ran on time and according to plan, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Amy to any brides out there seeking assistance with their planning.

Made my best day ever possible!

Amy was amazing! From the moment I contacted her to the very moment our wedding day was complete she was so accommodating. During our initial conversation she set me right at ease and I could tell she knew what she was talking about. She seemed to ask me all the right questions; things I hadn't even thought of. Upon booking her she immediately went to work collaborating with me and understanding what I wanted/needed from each and every vendor. She understood my desires and never tried to push her own ideas on me, but offered plenty of great ideas that we incorporated. Her 12 page design presentation was everything I was envisioning but couldn't seem to put together on my own she took my jumbled pinterest pages and put together a design just for our day.
On the day of the wedding her and her staff were organized and on top of every detail. I couldn't have asked for a better planner and designer. She made our day possible. Thank you Amy!

Exceptional Event Planning

Amy is fabulous! I had contacted her to plan, coordinate and basically "run" my son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner. The event was in Virginia and since I live in a Boston suburb I could never have taken care of any of the details without her. I was so comfortable with her and her excellent vendors. I simply wrote a check (and it was quite reasonable) and Amy provided everything, all while being so inconspicuous! I would definitely recommend Amelia Lawrence Weddings for anyone that has a discerning eye for perfection and elegance.

Amy will not only make sure your day is perfect, she goes above and beyond. Not only was she a shoulder to cry on, she brought sprigs from her own garden for our table settings and always checked in to see what else she could take off our plate. I could not recommend any one higher. Her recommendations were always on point, she has a fantastic creative eye. We were wary at first about a month of coordinator, but giving the reins to Amy to coordinate with all the vendors was the best decision we ever made. No stress for us, she dealt with it all. SHE IS THE BEST, we want her to plan and design all of our future parties!

Amy was phenomenal!!! I originally did not think we needed a wedding planner for my daughter's wedding, but the venue requested it. I did not realize how invaluable Amy would be!!!! She really organized the day, took care of every detail and we could just enjoy ourselves!!!!! She was wonderful, personable and a delight to work with. I would recommend her to all!!!

Amy is a fantastic wedding planner! I really don't have enough good things to say. She's the kind of wedding planner who really works with you and offers her ideas without pushing anything on you. She’s incredibly well organized and helps you keep on track as your wedding day approaches and she’s also super flexible! When I changed my mind on style/color, she worked with me to offer suggestions and helped me see where I needed to stay focused (and I most definitely changed my mind about things... :) ). She's also very goal oriented. If you tell her what you need or what you want, she will help you accomplish that!

Another amazing thing about Amy was that on the day of my wedding, she made everything feel like smooth sailing even after my cake was in a small car accident and we got hit with a 'summer' storm mid dinner. Seriously…I’m not sure the situation could have been handled any better. The cake was fine, just late to the wedding, but I didn’t even realize that had happened till AFTER the wedding! My wedding was partially indoor, partially outdoor and a summer storm came through and moved the dj and the photo-booth inside. She handled that all so well – figuring out and deciding where they would all go…Amy was impressive and I’m so happy I had Amy as my wedding planner!
