*** NEW FOR 2020** Introducing the Timeline & Vendor Coordination Package!

2020 has changed the wedding game! People are having much smaller weddings than previously planned and we want to help your day run smoothly! You may find after reducing your guestlist you don't feel the need to have a day of coordinator present at your small wedding. The Timeline & Vendor Coordination package includes a sit down (or virtual) meeting where we construct your wedding events into a day of timeline and then 2 weeks out we will coordinate with your vendors. We will add their arrival times, any items they may need to do their job (a chair and table for the DJ, cake stand for the cake, etc.), and day of contact info to your timeline. This package is $500.

Best Day of Coordinator!

Amanda made our wedding day completely stress-free. She gave us so many great recommendations for vendors and ideas for the day. I honestly could not believe how beautiful all our décor looked, she did an incredible job and made our wedding go off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Amanda and her team to any couples!

Fantastic!

Amanda was fantastic from start to finish. She was able to assist with all of our questions leading up to our wedding, and handled all the communication with our vendors. The day of the wedding went so smooth and she was the main reason why. All of the little details were handled by Amanda and it allowed my wife and I to relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. Super easy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a coordinator for their wedding!

Actual Life Saver!

Our initial day-of coordinator let us know that she tested positive for covid 3 days before our wedding and wouldn't be able to make it. Trying not to panic, we called our caterer (Old Blue BBQ) to let them know we may have to shift some plans around. In about an hour, they had contacted Amanda and she agreed to swoop in and be our savior. With less than 48 hours to learn all of the ins and outs of our wedding, Amanda didn't skip a beat. She ran our rehearsal, wrangled our emcee, coordinated all of the decor, and completely transformed the venue into exactly what we had imagined. She kept us on schedule and made sure everything happened according to the timeline (not to mention she revamped the timeline according to her expertise). She was ABSOLUTELY incredible and delivered the same quality in 2 days that you might expect from someone who started with the planning process several weeks before. I can't say enough good things about Amanda - you will be making one of the best wedding decisions by hiring her. Look no further :)

Amanda is the most on point, detail oriented person I know. From planning her own sweet 16 birthday party to planning your wedding, Amanda doesn't miss a thing! I've known her for over 10 years and I have to say that watching her follow her dream and help to create amazing, memorable weddings has been such a joy. Working with her is like being a part of a well oiled machine - everything is planned down to the second and nothing is forgotten. It's even more rewarding reading her reviews and seeing how much she's helped make peoples day perfect! I'm so excited for her to coordinate my wedding!!
