Amanda was great!

We loved working with Amanda! We used her full service package, so we spent over a year planning our wedding with her, and can't recommend her enough. A few points that stood out:
1. Vendors- we weren't from the area where we were getting married so this was huge for us. Amanda had an incredible network of vendors and was able to tailor them to our budget. They were all incredibly nice, and easy to work with, and went above and beyond to make our wedding incredible.
2. Day of coordination- we didn't really think about this until the day of the wedding itself, because it was just part of the package, but Amanda and Gavin were INCREDIBLE on the wedding day itself. They truly took any worrying, planning, and problem solving off of our plate so we were able to relax and enjoy the day, confident they were crushing it.
3. Peace of mind- we were anxious about planning our wedding, and the timelines and workload involved. We left every call with Amanda with palpable senses of relief- she was great at keeping us on track, and telling us to relax when we were worrying about things too early in the timeline or unnecessarily. The resources (checklists, timelines etc.) she provided made the workload seem manageable when spread out over a year. When you spend as much time with a person as you will your wedding planner, it helps when they're kind, patient, and funny. Go with Amanda- you won't regret it!

"Did we just become best friends?"

Turning around a 300+ person wedding at a brand-new venue in less than seven months was no small feat, but Amanda Briggs was more than willing to step up to the plate, put her contacts to work, and produce the event of the year (at least in my humble opinion 😉). Amanda was responsive, imaginative, realistic, pragmatic, caring, understanding, flexible, and meticulous — all the things you could ever hope for in someone planning and designing your big day.

When it was time to make big decisions, she clearly laid out my options and possible outcomes so I always had the full picture. When it was time to be playful and creative, she had an idea for every moment. And when I struggled to articulate my vision, she somehow took my scattered words and turned them into something tangible and beautiful.

Amanda went above and beyond the call of duty for my special day, and I’m not kidding. I’ll forever be grateful to her and her team. I wholeheartedly recommend her skillset, talent, and drive to anyone planning their big day!

Best in the industry 10000000000/10!

There are not enough words to explain how crucial this vendor was in achieving our dream wedding. From the Friday rehearsal to kick off the wedding weekend, to the design aspect for the entire wedding, to curating an individual experience for every guest, to designing a reception that looked like it was out of a movie - I can go on for days.

I understand some couples believe they can handle planning an entire wedding and I am sure they can - but I will stand by what I say in that if you want something specific and you want to wake up everyday with 0% stress leading up to your wedding - hire Briggs & Co. I never once felt stressed - it was a beautiful experience from the moment I hired this team. Amanda, the owner, also recommended additional vendors that she felt would mesh well with our personalities and what we wanted out of our wedding weekend.

Please look at the photos of when my husband and I saw the room for the first time. The emotion was raw and real and yes I ugly cried. I knew I was able to trust her and her talented team but it was beyond every expectation I ever had. Looking back, our wedding weekend was not only perfect but we were fully present in the moment knowing Briggs & Co. took care of it all. I think there is something to be said when guests are still calling/texting daily to let you know how beautiful your wedding was, but also how well executed each moment of the day flowed. Being a bride was a beautiful experience for me and I know that can be the same for others with this dream team !!

The BEST Planner in the game!!!!

Amanda is truly the best. Our wedding would have been impossible without her unwavering time, energy, attention to detail and expertise. Working with her was hands down the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process.

AMAZING!!! 100000% recommend

Amanda and her team were AMAZING! She made my wedding dreams come true and was such a pleasure to work with. She replied to my emails instantly, was always available whenever I had questions/random thoughts leading up to the big day. There are no words to describe how happy I am that I found her. My wedding day went FLAWLESS and literally it was all thanks to Amanda and her great time. Felicity was the so attentive on my wedding day, making sure I stayed hydrated, keeping me on schedule and made sure I had something to eat. I can seriously go on and on about how amazing Amanda and her team are. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BOOK WITH LOVELY WEDDINGS TEAM!

Magic at camp!!

FIVE THOUSAND STARS for Gavin, Susan, and the entire ECE team! Where do we begin? They brought order to a unique and busy summer camp wedding weekend -- helping us communicate with vendors and bring a vision to our wedding. We were planning our event from across the country, with no local connections or information, and they provided guidance, insight, and recommendations when we needed it most. They continually went above and beyond, even for portions of our celebration outside of the actual wedding day. While one of us is actually an event planner, we seriously could not have done it without you. Our wedding was truly the best weekend of our lives, and we're indebted to the team for the magic they created. Thank you thank you!!

5 star wedding planner!

I recall my friend maybe 2 years ago saying they were going to use Electric City as their wedding planner, within that time frame ALL of my friends have used them, including myself for the day of planner. Gavin, has an eye for style and was so helpful giving advice and his opinion (very beneficial for an indecisive bride).
On our wedding day, Gavin and Sue made it so stress-free. They kept everything organized and running smoothly. They were beyond helpful, prepared, and made me feel so calm knowing I was in good hands. I would highly recommend them over and over again. Having Electric City Events Co. there for our wedding definitely helped make our day absolutely perfect. Book them, you won't regret it!

Like having a best friend plan your wedding!!

Amanda and Gavin at Electric City are simply THE BEST. We were planning a backyard wedding and knew we wanted to hire a planner to help with set up and logistics. From the moment we first got on the phone with Amanda, she was extremely professional and so so excited to help us execute our vision. She was 100% on board and supportive of every decision we made, and she expertly navigated us through every decision with advice, suggestions, and honesty when we needed it. Her experience is just incredible, and she has the best relationship with other vendors in the area, so her recommendations for other vendors were absolutely perfect. I was so calm throughout the entire planning process and on the day because I knew Amanda and Gavin had everything under control so I could just enjoy every second! I had several people say I was the calmest bride they’d ever seen, and I give so much credit for that to Amanda and Gavin. On our wedding day, Amanda and Gavin were on site with us the entire day, setting up and keeping me together and excited. Gavin even helped my amazing photographer by getting our first look set up and holding my veil to catch the wind for the perfect photo! At the reception, Amanda had a drink ready for me at all times, helped me hold my dress to walk around, and just was truly so fun. It even rained a bit on the day, and Amanda and Gavin took care of EVERYTHING so that everyone could just enjoy! We could NOT have had the wedding we did without Amanda and Gavin, and we are so so thankful. On top of how simply phenomenal they were, the best part was that planning with Amanda was like having your best friend plan your wedding - she just GOT US. I could not have asked for a better experience!

Gavin is the best!

Point blank, I don’t know what I would’ve done without Gavin. This company is fabulous and I couldn’t recommend them more. Gavin is an incredible person and he was so instrumental in making our day so absolutely perfect. I met Gavin as a fluke and when he mentioned he was a planner/coordinator, I then realized this was no chance meeting. He was MEANT to be my Day of Coordinator, but the greatest part is he has also became so much more. I will consider Gavin a part of my heart and a true friend for life. I’m pretty sure Gavin immediately picked up on my nervousness and made sure to make me feel at ease and confident with my ideas. Gavin went out of his way to constantly calm my nerves and help me make the best decisions for our day to be perfect. I relied on him A LOT and he never faltered to figure it all out for me. He is a true gem who will do everything to make your vision come to life. More importantly, he does so much for you so that you can enjoy the process and celebrate your special day to the fullest. Again, I could not recommend this company more. They will go above and beyond for you! They are the best!

The best of the best!

Working with Electric City Event Co, specifically Gavin was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! He is very knowledgeable and efficient, saving my bridal nerves on quite a few different occasions. He helped us to stay organized and created the perfect day of schedule that kept weight off of our shoulders and things running smoothly. Beyond that, he quite literally saved the day with less than 24 hours to the wedding after a lot of stress from my wedding dress designer falling through, Gavin found me a dress to wear within minutes the night before and it could not have been more perfect! You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with electric city event co, I 1000% recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
