I used Smiling Through Chaos as my "Month of Coordinator" for my wedding.
Pandemic Wedding Bliss
A Flawless Planning Experience
From start to finish she was always on top of the planning and so organized. She went beyond any expectation we had and was very patient.
She gave us many options according to what we wanted and helped us find what we were looking for as far as photographer, floral, music and DJ and Entertainment (we had a hula dance show). She made my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary party a dream and we can even say perfect! It was such a flawless planning experience that was fun and effortless. All I can say is if you have the opportunity to work with Amanda and Smiling Through Chaos do it!

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!
