Simply put, Sassy Little Bee is the reason we had our wedding in Southern California, and was the single best decision we made!!! Her experience, thoughtfulness, enthusiasm, attention to detail, amazing list of vendors/friends, and love for what she does didn’t just complement our wedding - it defined it!!

As New Yorkers, for several months after our engagement we flirted with the idea of a destination wedding, but were overwhelmed by the choices and the prospect of managing a list of vendors from across the country. After one conversation with Amanda, our trepidation disappeared and was replaced with pure enthusiasm for what we could do together. With zero hesitation, we signed up for a “Full Service Wedding Planning” package and never looked back!

Pretty quickly into the process, Amanda assessed our vision, and introduced us to a tremendous group of vendors, helped us lock in our venue (Darlington House in La Jolla), and provided a roadmap to help us understand what the road ahead would look like. Each month, for over a year, we had monthly calls with Amanda that were collaborative, productive, oftentimes therapeutic, and in an era of pinterest-inspired fads and whims, kept us focused on our original vision.

One of the most amazing qualities about Amanda is that she communicates extremely well with different personalities, has an instinctive awareness of her client’s needs, and provides room for the process to be as collaborative or as done-for-you as you may want.

Amanda went above and beyond in every regard for our wedding, and her commitment to us having *our* perfect wedding was unyielding. Over the course of planning our wedding, we made a couple trips out to California, not because we needed to, but in part because we were so excited to spend time with Amanda and the amazing vendors she introduced us to.

A few months into our wedding planning process, we were so enamored with and impressed by Amanda, we even asked her to officiate our wedding. This was a testament not just to our extreme trust and faith in her, but how safe she made us feel throughout the process, how well she got to know us, and how obvious it was she was just as invested in our big day as we were. Turns out, it was a great decision; she was a phenomenal officiant — truly magical and so incredibly thoughtful. (Not a surprise!)

Throughout the wedding journey, we met and hired many super talented vendors, and could not have been more pleased with the results, but the singular credit for everything being as magnificent as it was goes to Amanda, her ability to communicate with our team of vendors, unite everyone behind a clear vision, and ensure it was executed precisely, with love and joy from all those who were involved.

When you work with Amanda, you don’t just get a wedding planner. You get a wedding visionary with the ability to take everything up a notch (or 10!) She works with love, coaxes it out of everyone involved, and truly embodies and executes on the ideal of a heart-centered wedding. Without reservation we recommend Sassy and her team for anyone looking for a unique, special, genuine, and/or well-executed wedding. We are forever grateful for Sassy Little Bee!

Amanda was the best coordinator I could have asked for. From our first meeting with her up we knew she was the one for us. She was on top of things and made sure our day was special and fun.

I can't thank Amanda enough for her help the day of our wedding and months leading up to it! We knew we had to book her when we saw how detail oriented and resourceful she was during our initial conversation even before we put our deposit down. She offers a variety of different services and we decided to go with the 'You Need It' package which includes coordination for day-of and 3 months prior to the wedding.

A few months leading up to the wedding, we kept in constant communication through phone and email to discuss updates and detailed timeline. She also worked very closely with all of our vendors to ensure that they were sending all the appropriate paperwork to our venue and also made sure they had everything they needed in order for the day to go smoothly. Amanda really stepped in and took care of everything the day of our wedding so we could relax and truly enjoy every moment of the day. We really could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day, all thanks for Amanda!
