Exceptional planners for a very special day

My daughter and son in law were recently married; Kara & Bri were their wedding planners. Their expertise and guidance resulted in a magical & unforgettable wedding day that exceeded our expectations. We could not have found all the necessary vendors on our own; Kara & Bri gave excellent recommendations and presented a range of options for every vendor. Completing each contract in a timely manner was straightforward. Kara and Bri had regular communication with us and created a single source where all information could be easily reviewed and updated. Details weren't overwhelming as they were always addressed on time. On the wedding day, Allie and Liz also assisted. The bride, groom, family, friends and all guests were able to relax and enjoy a beautiful wedding ceremony and seamless reception. We can't thank you enough and could not have done it without you; we'd happily recommend you to anyone planning a wedding or other event!

Thanks for a perfect day!

We are incredibly lucky and grateful to have put our wedding in Kara and Bri’s hands. Their knowledge of our venue and their confidence that every problem could be solved and every dream of ours could be executed was a huge comfort during the famously stressful planning process. Their positivity and encouragement kept us on the right emotional track throughout the lead-up to the big day, and they were receptive to our feedback and quick to find solutions whenever we felt less than 100% about a decision or a process. Every vendor we interviewed (and later hired) who had worked with them before exuded a very reassuring trust that Kara and Bri would get them what they needed, and communication throughout was very solid. Our wedding day was perfect, and we were very proud to learn after the fact how few fires they’d had to put out, but of course much of that was a credit to them. The feeling that everything was going smoothly and that we could focus on each other was a luxury that I couldn’t appreciate until I felt it. Thank you again Kara and Bri!

The BEST wedding planning choice you will make!

My husband Brent and I got married in March at Pippin Hill, and working with Kara and Bri from Amore Events was the best decision we made! From start to finish, they were organized, professional, and truly invested in making our day perfect. Their attention to detail was incredible, and they handled everything with such care that we were able to relax and enjoy the entire planning process. Kara and Bri were always a step ahead, making sure every element—from decor to timelines—was flawless. If you're looking for planners who are calm, creative, and genuinely care about your vision, I cannot recommend Amore Events enough! They made our dream wedding come true.

The best wedding planners ever!

Bri and Kara are a dream team and absolute gems! We couldn't imagine planning our wedding without Amore Events Co. We worked with them for a year leading up to our wedding and they made the entire process one we actually enjoyed. They were incredibly organized and efficient, and took care of every detail with ease. Their creativity and attention to detail were unmatched and they truly understood our vision and transformed it into a magical reality. Bri and Kara were integral in making our wedding day stress-free and absolutely perfect from beginning to end. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us create the wedding of our dreams!

Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party for the Record Books!

Kara and Bri of Amore Events were the geniuses who brought all of our dreams to reality. We needed help planning a formal dinner for 70 and a welcome party for about 120--and no one in the wedding party lives nearby the wonderful Charlottesville, Virginia, wedding location. Over about a year, Amore Events "worked the plan" for us and helped us choose a perfect location--one that was elegant, had delicious food, and allowed some of our older family members to easily access the venue. We held both events at The Forum Hotel (Kimpton) on the North Grounds of UVa. Food, decor, music, and ambience were all wonderful and the mood was light-hearted and fun. We enjoyed the evening with NO stress!

Loved working with Amore!

I can't imagine going through the wedding planning process without Bri and Kara. From our very first phone call, they impressed me so much with their professionalism and it carried through the whole process. They are truly a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we're so glad that we chose to work together. They had so much information about things I would have never known to think about on my own, and they helped us navigate some sticky situations with vendors. Our wedding events surpassed all expectations because of their attention to detail and eye for aesthetics. The weekend went seamlessly and I can't thank them enough for making all our wedding dreams come true!

Best Wedding Planners

Bri and Kara are all you could ever want in wedding planners! From the first meeting, they made the process incredibly easy for us. They came to every meeting incredibly organized and kept detailed notes of everything we went over. Throughout the planning phases they gave us enough options for vendors without overwhelming us and gave great feedback for vendors they have worked with previously. On the day of the wedding they went above and beyond to make it the most seamless day despite some weather challenges that forced us to move our ceremony inside at the last minute. We could not recommend them enough!! We also used them for the rehearsal dinner which was great to keep a cohesive theme throughout the weekend!

Recommend, recommend, recommend!!!

Bri and Kara truly deserve all the credit for creating such a perfect day for us! We were just so impressed by how they navigated everything with such ease -- from coordinating vendors to managing the timeline, they handled every moment effortlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without a single worry. They were a dream to work with and honestly the best investment we made for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, their expertise shined and they guided us with such confidence and care while always ensuring we never felt overwhelmed at any point. Their calm and thoughtful approach made the entire experience so fun and enjoyable for us. Not only were they wonderful planners, but their compassion and kindness made them a true pleasure to work with, something we noticed from our very first call together. It was so easy to put our trust in them, knowing we were in the best hands and they had our backs throughout the entire process! Bri and Kara are truly the best out there, our day wouldn't have been the same without them!!

Best in the biz!! Pleasure from start to finish!

Kara & Bri are worth their weight in gold! I cannot say enough good things about them. I would not have been able to have the wedding of my dreams without them. Kara & Bri exhibited patience and flexibility, guiding me through both my decisive and indecisive moments. Thanks to their expertise, we assembled an all-star vendor team that left our wedding day stress-free!

We gave Kara & Bri a bit of a challenge- we wanted to include many traditions from both of our cultures, Persian and Jewish, and they were able to weave these elements into our timeline, creating a truly unique celebration. On the day of the wedding, they took care of so many details and unexpected challenges with grace and kindness. From the first call with them, I felt it was a right fit, not only due to their extensive industry experience, but also because of their genuine care for their clients. When Kara & Bri said they were there for me, they meant it and for that, I’m forever grateful.
