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!

Say yes to ecec! ❤️

Amanda was hands down *THE BEST* decision we made when it was time to start planning our wedding. We live in New York and my husband and I decided that we wanted to have our wedding in a simple, beautiful, and rustic setting in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania. I am a type A personality who wants my hands on everything, yet in the same breath, also a perfectionist who has a genuinely difficult time making final decisions.

Amanda was the perfect Yin to my Yang. She knew when to offer advice, when to stand back, and when to stop me in my tracks and tell me which choice I was going to pick haha. Throughout the process, she became a new best friend that I truly didn’t know that I needed! Her family and friends even participated in our day in big ways too! I literally couldn’t be more thankful to have found Amanda!

She brought me a sense of peace throughout my two years of planning, she listened intently to my needs delivering perfect results, and was my shoulder to cry on when I was simply having a rough day! She listened to my crazy, laughed with me when I ranted, provided answers when I was genuinely stuck, and was readily available to manage all of my needs.

I was shocked to learn that there were other weddings she was planning as it always felt as though I was the most important person in her world. That simply says it all!

On the day of my wedding, the minute she walked in the door, I was immediately at ease. I knew that no matter what happened, I could trust that Amanda had it all under control!

Amanda’s ability to stay calm, problem solve, and play damage control made my, let’s just say, “slightly chaotic” (haha) day appear flawless to myself, my husband, and my guests. If it weren’t for Amanda I truly would have been lost! Amanda navigated through several hiccups that I only found out about after the wedding. Without her, the hiccups would have absolutely been catastrophic.

I am beyond thankful to say that I not only picked *the perfect person* to help me navigate through the ups and downs of planning the most important day of my life, but to also know that I gained a new friend that feels more like family too! If you are hesitant about whether or not you should add a planner to your budget or about who to choose (like I was in the beginning) SERIOUSLY…. Choose Amanda. I promise you will thank yourself and Amanda for all the years to come!

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.

Cannot recommend or thank them enough!

The absolute best! Amanda and Michelle were truly amazing to work with! They were always so uplifting and fun throughout the entire process even with the stress of planning during a pandemic! Whenever we needed them, they were there! Thanks to them we turned our 200 person wedding into the most beautiful backyard wedding we could ever dream of! Every single detail was attended to allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day! If you are currently planning a wedding do not hesitate to book Electic City Events! You will not regret it!

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!

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!!

10/10 Recommend Amanda and her team

I can't recommend this vendor enough Amanda and her team were a dream to work with in fact they made the process so stress free that myself and my bridesmaids were stressed because there was no stress, every detail was taken care of and I can't imagine how chaotic things may have been had Amanda not been involved - if you're wondering if a planner is worth it the answer is Amanda is worth it - she brought so many things to our attention that we would not have thought of and on wedding day she kept everyone on time and on task and we literally had zero stress and were able to thoroughly enjoy our day.

Absolutely Amazing and Professional

Amanda is truly an expert and amazing at what she does. We hired Amanda as a day of coordinator for our wedding, and when we received our first email from her I felt assured that we were in good hands. She is incredibly organized and was instrumental in helping us plan final details for our wedding. She helped us stay on track and remind us of details that we would not even think of ourselves.

I also appreciated how communicative Amanda has been with us during the months leading up to the wedding. She patiently and frequently answered all of my questions, addressed all of my concerns, and offered really helpful advice when making decisions about the wedding day. Not only is she a professional, but she is also really compassionate toward her clients. She cares about your concerns and wants to make sure that you have a wonderful day.

On the day of the wedding, Amanda was seriously like my Fairy Godmother. When there was a missing boutonniere, she got a replacement. When we returned from taking photos, she was ready for us with water bottles at hand. She was so attentive to us that if we needed her for anything she was there to fix the issue. One of the things I am most grateful for was she made sure to schedule time throughout the day for my husband and me to take a break and just enjoy the moment. Under her coordination, the day ran perfectly. As a bride, I felt incredibly calm because I knew that everything would go smoothly, because Amanda was there.

Having Amanda as a wedding coordinator has been one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I am so so grateful for everything she has done for us to ensure that we had a perfect day. Thank you!

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!

My husband and I could not recommend Electric City Event Co. enough!

My husband and I could not recommend Electric City Event Co. enough! Friends & family told us prior to the wedding that things WILL go wrong on your wedding day - we heard all the stories, but I don’t think they knew how AMAZING our wedding planner was, because things don’t go wrong with Amanda in charge! We had the most perfect day and we owe it all to Amanda. I can’t tell you the number of times she reassured us and took all of our worries away. She truly wanted us to enjoy our day and not get caught up in any of the stress; she never let us forget the true reason we were there. Wedding planning is A LOT and wedding planning during a pandemic is even worse, but Amanda was there for us every step of the way. She helped us build an incredible vendor team from day one and was always open-minded & extremely organized throughout the process.

Amanda was more than just our wedding planner - she was our #1 fan & supporter, she was someone to vent to, and she quickly became a friend.

Coming from an organized bride who didn’t think we needed a Wedding Planner to begin with, do yourself a favor and book Electric City Event Co.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
