About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Dreams of a destination wedding are full of breathtaking views, relaxing getaway accommodations, and being surrounded by the ones you love the most.

Let’s keep it that way…

AMPenman Coordination is a wedding coordination service that specializes in destination weddings both grand and intimate. We pride ourselves on providing…

International Flexibility & Availability - Our team loves to travel, and is equipped with passports and flexibility. Making time to chat, or be there in person to help you with the planning process, is easy and encouraged!

Experience with Unique Destinations - Want to have your reception on top of a mountain? No problem. Thinking about having your bridal party arrive on an antique boat? We know a guy. Let’s see what you can dream up, and we can help you make it happen.

Start to Finish Assistance - This begins as soon as you sign on with us, and we are always there post-wedding to answer any questions or tie up any loose ends from your amazing weekend.

Team of Industry Professionals - Why work with anyone but the best? Our team is built from leaders in the hospitality, culinary, private club, and luxury resort industries. Our standards are set high and that also goes for who we choose for our teams. Each team is customized to suit the needs, location, and special attributes of each wedding we work.

Respect for Privacy & Confidentiality - Your inner circle & family dynamics tend to become our business(literally) during your wedding. And, sometimes, this literally means welcoming us into the privacy of your own home, or working with your personal or professional staff. We have the utmost respect for the privacy of your personal life, and that of high profile guests.

Quick Responses with Unforeseen Situations - We would like to say we have seen it all… and that would be a lie. However, this has made us ready to plan for almost anything! We have sewed bridesmaids back into their dresses moments before walking down the aisle. Have dealt with medical emergencies for guests, and have even pulled cars out of ditches with our own vehicles. Let us worry about these things while you dance the night away.

Creativity & Connections - If we didn’t have a love and inherent passion for beautiful things, we wouldn’t be in this industry. It always amazes me to see what couples dream up, how our team enhances this vision, and the amazing vendors that make it come to life. We are very privileged to work with experts in their field, and can help direct you to hire the best.

Do I need a coordinator?

Most couples I find myself working with are independent, generally meticulous with details. If you are looking for someone to dream up your perfect wedding for you… I’m not your girl. I am, however, an excellent finishing touch! My job is to take your vision of your wedding, and help execute all the moving pieces so that you can actually enjoy all of the hard work you and your families have put into this celebration. Some may think that asking a friend or family member to take on this responsibility is an easier option, but oftentimes creates tension for you and the person trying to help. As your wedding coordinator I am here to help, plan, organize, coach, and assist both of you through every step of your big day.

How much assistance will I need?

I find that it is important for my clients to understand the full range of services offered, and prefer to set up a time for a phone call to answer questions and see which of my services are a fit. In the meanwhile, check out my pricing page for further details on the packages we offer.

Where do you work?
Anywhere! Travel for our team is billed "at cost." You let me know where your dream destination is, and I'll be there~

Best decision we ever made!

Ally has handled two weddings for our family over the past two years. One wedding took place in Maine in June of 2021, amidst Covid concerns. Ally was the ultimate professional, handling all related concerns, keeping everything on schedule, and assisting as a florist. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Ally met the individual needs of the entire wedding party, and both sets of parents. Any additional requests we made were handled efficiently, and with a smile. Aside from her dedication to her job, Ally is a lovely person who makes everyone feel at ease.
The second wedding was in December of 2022 in Boston. Ally communicated with my daughter and her fiancé extensively prior to the date, and flew up from Florida for the weekend. Once we had Ally on board, everything quickly fell into place. She managed multiple events over the three days, handling unexpected issues, taking photos when needed, and arranging to purchase some last minute umbrellas in bulk! I honestly never worried about a thing, and felt like a guest the entire time.

Every step of the way, Ally handled our daughters’ wedding weekends with orderliness, poise and efficiency. I can’t say enough about this young woman, except that I hope and pray she will consider helping out at my other two children’s weddings!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6 stars for Ally Penman!!

Intimate Coastal Maine Wedding

Our daughter’s wedding was at a private home on the coast of Maine with the ceremony happening by the water. The day before, the site was looking great, the arrangement in the tent was perfect, but the outside decorations/setup couldn’t happen until the morning of the wedding (it was early October and there was a chance of weather). When we left the site the day before, there were decorations and “stuff” to be put outside everywhere! When we arrived and saw the site, it took our breath away. We could have never done this ourselves. The creativity and organization of the layout and decorations was top notch. The wedding and reception couldn’t have been better, and the joy and laughter echoed across the water.

Before the ceremony, it was noticed that the father of the bride didn’t have a boutonnière (was given to the officiant), and one was created on the spot out of some of the decorations. It was beautiful. Catastrophe avoided!

The team is incredibly professional, creative, talented, with a calm and strong temperament that gives you peace that the day will be exactly like you had imagined. Incredibly thankful for their talents in making it a day everyone will remember with a smile on their face.

Spectacular Maine September Wedding

Our daughter's wedding was September 24, 2022 at a beautiful setting by the ocean in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Ally checked in with us frequently during the months leading up to the wedding and she was with us during the site review as we worked out the fine details. She knew what our daughter's vision for her day was and she made it happen to the last detail. She was by my side creating flower arrangments, setting up tables with the attendants and friends, coordinating the group for the rehearsal, and then on the day of the wedding she made it all come together smoothly without a hitch. The wedding dress was customized from my mother's dress and at the last minute there was an issue with one shoulder. Ally calmly stepped in and sewed it in place. Crisis averted. The entire ceremony and reception flowed perfectly with her guidance, talent and skill. She made sure that it was exactly the magical day our daughter wanted. I am extremely thankful and grateful for Ally and highly recommend her as a truly talented professional.

Owner

Having a unique lifestyle as a “snowbird” in between Coastal Maine in the summer, and Naples, Florida in the Winter allows Ally to offer her services with Dragonfly Services in Maine, and on her own in Florida. Alongside years in the Private Country Club industry & Restaurant business, Ally has more than 15 years of wedding & coordination experience under her belt. As a lover of everything floral, she is self-taught in floral design and enjoys gardening in her spare time. While Ally does not offer any professional floral services, she has been known to whip up a boutonniere or two on the spot. Tuesdays are the ONLY day she is hard to reach, as she is probably on a boat with her husband(Chad), and dog(Hooch).
