Amanda was incredible. She took every idea and detail of what we wanted for our wedding and made it come to life. Anytime we needed her she was there and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Amanda made it her priority to make the planning process stress free and smooth and allowed us to have the most magical and memorable night of our life. She is creative, responsive, professional and most of all kind and I cannot recommend her to plan any event enough.Smiling Through Chaos's reply:
Jillian!! Thank you so much - so sweet. It was so important to us that you enjoyed the process and day - no stress, my friend :) Seeing you smile is everything. -

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!
