Impeccable Work

Where to begin! My now husband and I always knew a planner was necessary to remove the stress from wedding planning and provide us with someone who could guide us through the complex (and competitive) process.

I found Amanda through a Google search and I am so happy that I did! From the moment we had our first phone call, I knew she would be the one who could not only execute my vision but could keep up with my intensity. We got married in Fall of 2022, a year full of competition for every vendor and venue available. The moment we signed our contract, Amanda was sending us lists of different options, on the phone with me any time I had questions or felt overwhelmed and was always available via text. The caliber of the vendor team and venue options Amanda was able to pull together were impressive - especially because not a single option was ever outside of my budget!

I signed up for full service planning which also included design. Amanda was able to talk me through everything I had added in my Pinterest boards, went back and forth with me on any items I was on the fence about and really helped me zero in on making the day feel authentic to my husband and I. My favorite thing about Amanda is how she was never afraid to call me out for coming up with ideas that were WAY out of budget (lol) but even when doing so, she always came with alternatives that would be within it.

The day of our wedding my husband and I were able to enjoy every single part of the day because Amanda and her team of wonderful planners were able to execute everything flawlessly.

Amanda, I know you do this every day but I want you to know that you truly made such an impact in my life and I will never forget you. Thank you for working so hard to make sure my wedding day was perfect and thank you to your team for bringing such wonderful energy.

If you're looking for a planner don't hesitate to work with Amanda!

Can't recommend enough!

Amanda and her team were highly efficient and professional. Even during one of the busiest wedding years, and one when Amanda was planning her own wedding, we never felt like we were not a priority for her during the whole process.
The communication at every step of the journey really stood out to us - we had a shared Google Drive folder where we could view and share price quotes, our design proposal, and a general planning timeline for us to stay on track. Super helpful as we planned our wedding from across the country! Amanda also adapted to the crazy backlog of post-quarantine weddings, proactively getting our vendors squared away well in advance so we could beat the rush.
I think the biggest testament to her coordination is that at least from our perspective, our entire wedding day went smoothly without any effort or worry from us. If anything had gone wrong, we must have been completely shielded from it. And at the end of the night, Amanda and Melissa had carefully packed up many of our miscellaneous decorations and had them ready to load into our cars. We are so glad that we hired AMV Weddings for full service planning!
