Linda Married on 09/15/2022Must Have Planner!
As a mother of the bride, I was tasked with a lot of details, I am a project manager, but have NOTHING on Amanda. What a relief, what a pleasure to work with! She was on top of EVERY detail, with professionalism. She put me at ease, she managed ALL the details big and little, that allowed me to just be MOM that day! She's incredible. Strong work ethic, responsive, never annoyed by my 1,000 questions to ensure it was taken care of. I could go on and on. Bright and wonderful personality! WORTH every cent and more! She over delivered. She also had resources and opinions (if asked). Her #Goal was that the day was everything you want it be! No matter how well you plan, something will come up, small or big, and you will want someone paying attention to notice it and resolve it so you don't have to! THAT IS AMANDA!! I wish I had something else to plan to keep working with her!Smiling Through Chaos's reply:
Oh wow - you're so sweet, Linda. You are WONDERFUL - and I so appreciate how organized you are and just what a lovely person you are! Absolutely loved planning for their wedding, and I would love to plan another event for you in the future! Speak to you soon! :)

Working with Amanda made the whole process so much easier for our clients! She handled everything from contracts to timelines and everything in between. She did a wonderful job and the event was absolutely fabulous!!
I've worked with Smiling Through Chaos on multiple weddings, and I'm honored to give her the highest possible recommendation. Amanda’s email is “efficientamanda,” and after getting to know her, I can say that is so perfect for her! Of course, she’s not only extremely efficient, capable, knowledgable, and on top of everything, she is also full of sunshine, which to me, is how it should feel working on weddings! Amanda makes doing this job fun, which is truly why I love working with her so much!
We had a great time working with Amanda. Highly recommended!
