You always hear the wedding horror stories, of something being forgotten or missing. Want to avoid this? Then you need to hire A Swanky Affair and all your worries will be gone! I highly recommend Amanda and her team! My husband and I were looking to have the wedding of our dreams within our budget. Wedding planning and the wedding itself has a lot of details and you just can not be in control of them all. Having Amanda as our wedding coordinator was essential to us having a great wedding! Amanda was wonderful about answering my many questions and providing tips and options. Leading up to the wedding Amanda covers all details and final contact with your vendors! A HUGE HELP AND ESSENTIAL TO A SMOOTH WEDDING DAY! She knew exactly what our vendors needed and got all the final details and logistics into place. The wedding ceremony and reception layout that Amanda helps you with and lays out was a huge help and a big part of everything starting to come together in our planning. The day of the wedding she and her team were early and a calming presence to us all. They kept things moving and ensured everything was running smoothly and that we were having the best day! I never had to wonder if we were on time or worry about what was next. Amanda was always there gently guiding us through the day. I am so thankful for her help! -

Amanda was fantastic and I would absolutely recommend her to every one of my friends. She is well-organized, highly communicative, very knowledgeable of the local wedding industry (and industry at large) and went above and beyond for our wedding day. She did everything in her job description and more to help us navigate all of the ups and downs and twists and turns with COVID (we had an October 2021 date). We couldn’t have had the wedding day we did without her. Thanks Amanda for everything!! -

Amanda did an amazing job as our wedding coordinator. We enjoyed working with Amanda from the moment we met her. She is very upfront with what she does and communicates everything in a very clear and effective way. Amanda made sure everything was lined up with all of our vendors and made sure that all of our ducks were in a row. Amanda made a clear and simple timeline for the wedding party and family to follow the day of our wedding. The rehearsal went smooth and the whole wedding weekend was a great success. We highly recommended Amanda from A Swanky Affair as your wedding coordinator. -

Amanda of A Swanky Affair is incredible! First things first, she's incredibly kind and easy to work with. But second, she makes sure that EVERY detail of your wedding is discussed and taken care of.
My now husband and I were scheduled to get married April 2020, so I'm sure you can imagine the chaos that came with rescheduling, new dates, new vendors, etc. Through every change, Amanda's attention to detail made the process smooth and manageable. She helped ease our stress and accommodated our questions and concerns.
When we finally were able to have our wedding in November of 2021, everything was seamless. The day ran so smoothly, I did not have to think about one detail. From the rehearsal to the ceremony, everything turned out beautifully and Amanda was a big part of this.
Overall, I highly recommend Amanda for your upcoming wedding!! -

Jessica Sent on 05/17/2019Absolute BEST decision I made. She is truly AMAZING! HIRE HER.
I don't know where to begin- I felt a little crazy wanting to hire a planner/coordinator since I wanted a more laid back casual thing and on the less expensive side and thought I would save money doing it all myself...but as soon as I started emailing vendors- I knew I had no idea what I was doing and I needed HELP! She really put everything in perspective for me- managed my expectations and helped me with a budget so we quickly were able to eliminate some things once she was able to give us a general idea of cost since we really had no idea. She helped with the Venue selection which she knocked OUT OF THE PARK and I never would have found if not for her. Same with the flowers, catering and so much else- She knew EXACTLY which vendors to recommend who fit my style perfectly. Nailed it. There is just so much to look through it's overwhelming and hard to know- so to know she trusts them was SO helpful. She was so organized, helped think of everything and really made the planning process fun and easy. And OMG my wedding reception. It was full of so much joy because I did not have to worry about all those little details. I had the best time with my family and friends. ZERO STRESS- pure excitement! So much funnnnnn. And that is totally priceless. It truly was the best day- never thought I would say something so cheesy! When I filled out her questionnaire, one thing I put was I did not want was "perfection" (like not overly polished or too formal/stuffy) but it was totally my kind of perfect totally thanks to her. I can't thank her enough. :) She is a wonderful planner and person! -

STOP! Seriously, you don't need to look any further than Amanda Scott. If you're looking for someone who is organized, has an eye for small details without losing sight of the big picture, and will make your wedding party/family feel prepared and excited (I had a very nervous Dad over here!) but keeping everyone on schedule...this is your wake up call!
I chose to work with Amanda as my day of coordinator (which, you're in luck because this really means month of coordinator) because I was really enjoying the planning process but knew day-of, I wouldn't want to be telling vendors where to set up and getting frantic phone calls because one of the groomsmen forgot his coat. Starting 5 weeks out from our wedding, Amanda began integrating into the process. I sent her all of my vendor contracts and other important documents, which she was able to review and contact all vendors to get the ball rolling. Her response time is insane...not once did it take her more than a day to respond to me...many times within a couple hours or even minutes. Talk about putting my mind at ease. Instead of fielding questions about linens and guest count from 10+ vendors, everyone went through her and that streamlined everything so well and really eliminated any stress I was told by countless people to be prepared for. We created a detailed timeline for the day, which she swiftly shared with vendors and the wedding party/immediate family (during the rehearsal she ran...again To. A. Tee.) The day of couldn't have been smoother and all I had to focus on was getting ready with my girlfriends, getting MARRIED to my husband, and dancing the night away.
So not only is she good at her job logistically, but she has the perfect personality for the job. She is so kind and warm, putting everyone at ease, but also had something about her where you could tell she means business! The perfect combination to keep everything on track but still so enjoyable from start to finish. I couldn't recommend her more highly. -

Karen Sent on 07/03/2018Amanda was simply THE BEST. Originally, I had no intention of hiring a wedding coordinator, but as the wedding date got closer, I realized that it would be in our best interest to have some help on the day of. From our first conversation, I could tell that Amanda was incredibly organized, responsive, kind, and friendly. It wasn't in our original budget to hire her, so we moved some things around to make room for her. Absolutely the best money we spent. If you're debating about whether or not to hire a coordinator, or Amanda for that matter, I say just DO IT. It is worth every thing. We hired her for day of coordination, which begins a month before the wedding. She asked me questions about things I hadn't even thought about! She led our rehearsal which was so important as we had no idea what we were doing. On the day of our wedding, Amanda kept us all on track with timing, she made sure all the vendors had everything as requested, bustled my dress, and even had an emergency kit which came in super handy because I got red lipstick on my dress right before the ceremony! I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. I can't even imagine what our wedding day would've been like without her. THANK YOU AMANDA!! -
User2727938 Sent on 08/16/2016Amanda came recommended by friend in the industry, and I cannot thank them enough. Amanda was able to take my vision of my wedding and make it into reality.
At first I was kind of skeptical as it's not know if I truly needed a wedding planner, but after talking to Amanda I realize that I wanted her to be there on my day with us. She has amazing insight, the ability to understand what you're saying even though you may not be saying the right words, is highly organized, friendly, so funny, and just has the ability to take what you want and make it come to life. From going with me to meet vendors, to helping me pin things on Pinterest, just showing me different reference points online, Amanda truly went above and beyond what was asked of her so that I could get the wedding I have always wanted.At one point the week of my wedding I got sick with the flu, and Amanda offered to run all of my errands for me so I could stay home and get better for the wedding day.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Amanda as a wedding or event planner. She is absolutely amazing and will make your day incredibly memorable and wonderful! -
User2483014 Sent on 12/28/2015We were so happy to work with Amanda for our wedding!
Throughout the planning process, Amanda was attentive, organized and thoughtful. She understood our vision for the day and did everything she could to help make that dream a reality. She provided helpful tips and resources that smoothed out the process and kept us on track. We so appreciated her answering our many questions and e-mails with her generous knowledge. Her recommendations for vendors were always on point. She had an a-la-carte option that allowed us to choose a planning package that worked best for us. Her timeline and "all-knowing" folder was a lifeline. She made sure all of our vendors knew where to go and took the reigns of the rehearsal so that all our attendants and family knew what to do. The day of our wedding went so smoothly, and I have no doubt that it was in large part because of Amanda's hard work behind the scenes.
We are so grateful that we picked A Swanky Affair as our wedding planner!
