There quite literally aren't enough words to describe how wonderful Michelle is. After our engagement, we knew we needed a planner. We looked around, and saw that one of my friends had used Michelle's services for her own wedding years ago. From the start, we were hooked on her work.

Over the last two years, Michelle gone from "wedding planner" to "family friend." Look, I'm sure a lot of people feel that way about their planner. I'm sure a lot of planners form bonds with their clients. We truly feel that the roots of our bond with Michelle extend far beyond simple "business partners." She went above and beyond to make us feel at ease with wedding planning. Organized, efficient, communicative, loving...the list goes on and on and on.

So when I looked to Michelle on our wedding day, and even up until the very last second of our celebration as we drove away from her, I felt choked up. We didn't want this to be "it."

The fact of the matter is that we love Michelle, and we can't put into words how much we appreciate her friendship and guidance over the last two years. She made our day possible, and she'll go to the ends of the earth to do the same for you.

Let me start off by saying, having Michelle Amarillo as my wedding planner was by far the best decision I could have made for my wedding. Michelle is the perfect balance between creativity and control. She takes the time to understand the vision you have for your wedding, incorporating the most important details while contributing her own touches to enhance the artistry, to keep things consistent with the theme as well as keeping things within budget. Michelle went to great lengths to work with vendors and the competitors to get me the best deal and ultimately saving me hundreds of dollars! She used many of her own personal supplies of beautiful vintage frames, chalkboards, and baskets to decorate my venue, which also saved me from having to purchase all these items myself. From the beginning Michelle was always in contact with me, making sure I was on time with save the dates, invitations, dress fittings, scheduling meetings with vendors etc. Michelle has many wonderful and talented vendors that she works with, and works with often, however if you would like to incorporate other vendors she is exceptionally accommodating, making new contacts and getting them up to speed effortlessly. On the day of my wedding, I couldn’t have been more stress free! Any concern, question, problem, went straight to Michelle, saving me the headache, and allowing me to relish the time with the love of my life, family and friends. I cannot say enough great things about Michelle and would, happily, book her all over again!!!

We can honestly say that choosing Michelle Amarillo was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. When we decided to start planning, we were so overwhelmed and had no idea where to begin in the process. Our initial meeting with Michelle immediately put us at ease and lifted the wedding stress from our shoulders. Michelle was very professional and easy to work with. She worked around our busy schedules to set up phone calls and was always available when we had questions for her. She had wonderful suggestions for vendors and offered good advice based on her experiences. She was always open to our ideas or concerns and did an amazing job of executing our vision. On our wedding day, Michelle took care of every little detail. She organized all of the vendors, helped set up the reception, and made sure the timeline ran smoothly. It was such an amazing feeling to truly enjoy the day, without any worries. I would highly suggest anyone looking for an experienced wedding planner at an affordable price to use Michelle Amarillo Event Planning. We could not have done it without her and we are so grateful for her service!
