Amy is the "MVP": Most. Valuable. Planner!!!

Amy is worth every single penny! I got engaged in late Feb. 2020. Weeks later, the pandemic hit. Granted, my wedding was in April 2021, but we had no idea what the future would bring. Throughout the whole process, Amy was calm, confident and has GREAT advice. She also works with the most amazing vendors and is always available if you have a question. That alone is worth it's weight in gold. But THEN, on my actual wedding day, we had SEVERE weather. Not only was it pouring rain, I'm talking golf ball size hail that knocked the power out for hours! But this didn't phase Amy and her team at all. She and I talked about arranging our ceremony indoors the day before knowing severe weather was extremely likely. She reimagined my ceremony into a beautiful romantic vibe. Then, when the weather turned upside down, she didn't miss a beat, having a generator brought in, making sure I was okay and through it all, NEVER and I mean NEVER seemed frazzled. The day started out chaotic, but by ceremony time, the sun came out and it was literally the PERFECT day. My family, bridal party and guests all loved her. Because of her, what could have been a totally overwhelming wedding planning/wedding day experience, was relaxing, easy and most of all, fun. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are planning a wedding because NOTHING phases this woman and she will help you create the wedding of your dreams!

Amy is the BEST

Amy was so experienced, flexible, kind...I could go on and on. The whole process was enjoyable. I never had to wonder whether she was on top of it or if I had to follow up. She was in constant communication with me and the other vendors so we were all on the same page. She had a great relationship with all of the vendors we had, and I got the impression that was the case for all vendors in town. On top of that, I had the dreaded thunderstorm, flooded reception that every bride fears of having. But Amy made me feel at ease, she helped me change plans multiple times as we navigated the weather. She was so easy going and went above and beyond anything I could’ve expected from a coordinator. You can tell she’s experienced and has truly seen it all/worked through every scenario. If you are debating which wedding coordinator to use- I’ll make the decision easy- work with Amy!!

I cannot imagine planning our wedding without Papaya!

Papaya Wedding Planning and Amy were truly a blessing during our Covid wedding(s)! Our original wedding was scheduled for 3.27.2020; however, Covid-19 had other plans. My husband and I had to make major changes within 2 weeks of our original date due to the every changing quarantine policies - with Amy’s assistance we modified our original plans to an intimate 7 person ceremony and then rescheduled our larger celebration to 10.2.2020. I don’t know how we would have done all of it without Papaya Wedding Planning and Amy! She immediately reach out to all of our vendors, securing the new date and finding replacements when necessary. She kept me calm and sane during all of the craziness and made BOTH of our weddings special!
Probably the best compliment we can give Amy and Papaya is that we are hiring them to help with my daughter’s upcoming wedding in 2022!!!

Our perfect and beautiful dream wedding came to life thanks to Mrs. Amy!

Our perfect and beautiful dream wedding came to life thanks to Papaya wedding planning (Mrs. Amy). She exceeded our expectations of a wedding planner . I went to Amy about a year before my wedding with my favorite ideas and she put it all together . I would definitely recommend her for a wedding planner to anyone who has a vision for their beautiful day but also likes someone’s to be their every step of the way and make sure things run smoothly :)

Mother of the Bride

Amy was such a pleasure to work with from starting to plan our daughter’s dream wedding day to the day of the wedding. It was so nice the day of the wedding to be able to just enjoy everything about the day and not miss out on time with our daughter and other family members worrying about the details.

The best investment we made!

Amy was by far one of the best investments we made during the wedding planning process. She was so helpful during the design process and really was able to bring our wedding vision to life. Amy was very attentive and quick to respond anytime we had questions and her connections helped us to secure the best vendors for our big day!

Our wedding was originally planned to be fully outdoors with no tent, and when the weather reports started coming out a week before the wedding showing that it was most likely going to rain, she was able to quickly secure us the perfect tent and suggested we order some clear umbrellas. The day of the wedding she was able to easily revamp the initial layout with her rain contingency plan and fit all the guest tables, bars and band stage up under the gorgeous tent. It rained for 30 minutes during dinner and Amy and her team used the umbrellas to shuttle our guests back and forth from the tent to the buffet that was set up inside the house.

Our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined and it was all thanks to Amy and her team. I could not recommend Papaya Wedding Planning enough to anyone planning their wedding!

Best Planner Ever!!!

Where do I even begin?! I cannot say enough amazing things about Amy with Papaya nor can I recommend her enough! It’s evident that she has a true passion for planning weddings and takes the time to get to know you not just on a professional level but on a personal level, as well, to ensure everything turns out just as you would hope. From recommending and coordinating everything with our vendors to decorating and setting up the day of, she truly took our dream wedding and turned it into our reality. The amount of time, hard work and dedication she put in to ensure everything was perfect for us is astounding, and my husband and I are beyond grateful for everything.

Amy is absolutely the BEST!

Amazing-simply amazing! That's the only way to describe Amy and her team. We used Amy from the very beginning of the wedding process. She was always available to answer our questions, provide vendor information, secure vendors for us, make appointments, and the list goes on and on. Our daughter's wedding was an outside event and we had a rain plan in place and Amy and her team executed it flawlessly. The entire wedding was wonderful and the perfect day. Everyone said throughout the wedding we all seemed so calm and relaxed, and our response was always "we have Amy--she's absolutely the best!"

Hands down, Amy with Papaya is one of my favorite wedding planners in Tallahassee! Mostly because my couples love her and always rave about their experience which ultimately is what matters most. Second to that is my own experience when working with Amy. Amy keeps things running smoothly regardless of what comes up. Amy is always smiling, works efficiently so it always appears she is running early on the timeline, and going the extra mile to take care of the bride and groom and every other person at their wedding. Her designs are flawless and unique to the couple so no two weddings look the same. You will not regret hiring Amy for your wedding and I'd book her very early so you have the best wedding planning experience possible!
