    The real deal

    If you are lucky enough to secure Sophie as your planner, you are in for a treat. My now husband and I lived in Santa Barbara during our college years at UCSB and always knew if we got married it had to be in Santa Barbara, and it had to be at the Courthouse.

    While the Courthouse had never permitted receptions before, we were the first (just this past Saturday). Naturally as a new bride there are "what if's" and doomsday scenarios that organically come up throughout the planning process, especially at a brand new venue. I was a little nervous and didn't love the idea of being the guinea pig, but Sophie consistently went above and beyond on the days and months leading up to the event, and especially on the day of the wedding itself. She and her staff could not have been any more on top of it, period. She made a plan and she executed. The entire day went off without a hitch - if there were problems, we didn't know about it. She looked out for us, protected us and made our day so SPECIAL.

    Now that we've had ample time to reflect on the day we are so happy we hired her. Timing was on our side - she's in demand and for good reason. We'd trust her with our life and consider ourselves truly lucky to work with her. If you are hiring a wedding planner in Santa Barbara she is worth every penny. Hire her, stat.

    Spectacular Vendor

    My fiance and I planned a wedding in 30 days and reached out to Amazing Days Events for assistance. Sophie was spectacular and went out of her way to make sure that every detail of our special day was executed to perfection. Sophie's knowledge of the ins and outs and expertise made the process seamless and smooth. Sophie had recommendations and input for every aspect of the event. Sophie's input is invaluable! Highly recommend using Amazing Days Events!!

    Best $ you'll spend

    I would give more stars if I could - I truly do not know what we would have done without the Amazing Day Events team!

    They were referred to us by a friend who had ATTENDED a wedding where these ladies nailed it so much that GUESTS were singing their praises for flawless execution...you can only imagine how happy the couple was with their choice. After setting up a chat with Sophie I knew these were my girls and they are SO affordable compared to similar services all over the central coast. (Trust me, I checked)

    Over the course of a year(ish) Kelsey became our person -

    1. She handled all of the stuff that we either didn't care about or had no idea where to start. Who knows what lighting a band needs? How do I find a good deal? She would send me three options and price points and handle everything else - the dream!
    2. She helped me figure out how to pull of the things that I was really excited about. For example, we really wanted to do a custom wine tasting at cocktail hour and literally anyone else would have told us to get a grip and get over it - instead Kelsey made it happen and it was better than we imagined.

    My friends and family (and I) are still gushing about how perfect our wedding day was and I credit so much of it to the Amazing Day Events team. They treat you like a friend, they are supportive and flexible, and 10000000% the best money you'll spend on your wedding.

    "Amazing" is right!

    I actually don't think I can put into words how amazing Sophie and Kelsey are. Seriously. I was planning a wedding from across the country during my final year of law school and while studying for the bar exam, and NOT ONCE did I feel any wedding stress, and it was all because of these two. While I had general ideas of what I wanted, I had no idea what the cost or feasibility of any of my ideas were, and no clue how to bring it all together. Sophie and Kelsey listened to what I wanted, gave suggestions, helped me narrow down options, explained what was and wasn't realistic within my budget, and handled all the vendors without a hitch. They kept me on track throughout the year and were a huge help with a bunch of last-minute upgrades we added when our guest list ended up smaller than anticipated and we decided to do more with linens and flowers. I did not pick up my phone once on the day of the wedding, trusting that Sophie and Kelsey had everything under control, and it all was absolutely perfect when I arrived. They know the wedding community in the area incredibly well, and they worked seamlessly with our other vendors. They are so fun to work with--trust them to do their jobs, because they do them INCREDIBLY well and they only want you to have the best day. They listen well, respond to questions quickly and with real answers, and have your back 100% of the time. Without a doubt, they were the best money we spent wedding planning, and I miss chatting with them now that the fun is all over.

    Sophie and Kelsey were amazing to work with! They helped with so many of our decisions and plans along the way and on the day of the wedding we seriously felt zero stress and were able to celebrate without a care. They really strived to actively make that happen!

    The week of our wedding there was rain in the forecast (in Southern California, please) and they met us at the venue with the rental company rep to figure out a solution that still fit our vision. On our own, that whole process would have been really overwhelming and stressful but they set our minds at ease. We appreciated that so much!

    Bottom line, they were super fun, had great energy, and were instrumental in making our day awesome!

    The absolute BEST. Sophie & Kelsey were amazing. Everything was perfect for our Santa Barbara wedding. Vendors were on time, drinks always full, set up looked incredible, everyone knew what they should be doing at all times. They made sure all we had to worry about on our special day was ENJOYING IT. Not only did we love this team, our entire wedding party couldn't stop talking about how great they were. We just LOVE Sophie & Kelsey and would highly recommend them for ANYTHING.

    Stop all the research you are doing and hire Sophie and Kelsey RIGHT NOW! I'm SO happy that I held out on booking a wedding planner until I talked to Sophie. Amazing Days Events is the REAL DEAL. If you want someone that will set realistic expectations, keep you on track, on time (which was super, super important for me) and be your sounding boarding, look no further! Sophie and Kelsey are truly an amazing duo - they are meticulous, have strong attention to detail and most importantly FUN. They're also well connected in Santa Barbara and have the best vendor recommendations. All but one of my vendors were recommended by Sophie and Kelsey and they were all a dream. Lastly, they had a great relationship with the Event Manager at our venue (Bacara) and I felt like the day went off without a hitch. Thank you, Sophie and Kelsey!!!!

    Sophie is the best! We hired her as our month-of coordinator, but she provided suggestions and answered questions all along the way. Her insight and advice as we prepared for the day was invaluable – she had so many great tips from how to structure our ceremony to how to pose while holding a bouquet. All the small things that you wouldn’t think about if you’ve never been married before, she brought up and gave us the tools to make the decision that was right for us. She has an amazing attitude, and on the day everything went so smoothly. There were probably some hiccups, but we never heard about them – she handled all the vendors and made it a magical event. Everyone needs a Sophie at their wedding!

    Sophie was one of the best things about our wedding. From the first phone call to overseeing the last moments of clean up, Sophie was an absolute rockstar. I chose Amazing Days Events because of all the emails I sent out, Sophie was the only one who CALLED back. She made a personal connection with us and our families and we SO enjoyed working with her. She is personable, professional and so much fun . She listened to our vision, helped us find the right vendors (within our budget!), kept us organized on track throughout the planning process. On the day of, she made sure everything was executed perfectly--she even constructed the perfect donut cake! Our family and friends loved her and we adore her! I highly, highly recommend Sophie and Amazing Days!

    Kelsey was amazing! She was the best! I cannot come up with enough adjectives to describe her. Hiring Amazing Days Events was the best decision I made for my Wedding Day. Kelsey took care of everything on the day of the wedding so I could be present and fully immerse myself in the day. She helped me with all the last minute details. When I had to switch the reception from outside to inside a few days before the wedding Kelsey made the transition easy and smooth. My family and the wedding party all commented on what a wonderful Wedding Coordinator Kelsey is. Amazing Days Events is professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot thank them enough for helping me make my Wedding Day the best day ever!

    Kelsey was everything we needed for our wedding day! We hired for week/ month of services for our April 2017 Santa Barbara wedding and it was money well spent. My mom was much more relaxed knowing we had people on top of their game. It was easy to hand over all the planning to Kelsey and they were fun to work with, she also did mind my could care less about the small details attitude they were happy to go with the flow. I would recommend them as they were: prompt with emails, realistic about budget, honest, straight to the point and punctual.

    Sophie is a gem! I can't say enough good things about Sophie. I couldn't have done anything without her. I would like to think that I was a pretty easy, laid back bride. I knew what I wanted but at the same time, I had no idea what I wanted. I don't plan parties, I don't pay attention to all the little details. Sophie was a blessing, she is so detail oriented and thinks of things I would never have thought of. I didn't stress about much but when I did I would call her up and within minutes I was focused, on track and moving forward. She is amazing and I must mention SO MUCH FUN! She is calming, fun, funny, positive, energetic, creative, and professional. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to deal with "bridezillas" for a living and she was born to do this job! Don't think twice about it, just hire her!

    We adored Sophie! We hired her on the spot! She was very direct and professional which we liked. She didn't sugar coat anything, she always made us feel comfortable. Whenever I had questions I never felt like I was bothering her. She was extremely helpful and I never once worried about something not being done. She also made sure she got our vision and what was important to us and it was easy to connect with her! I have and will continue to refer Sophie to friends and family!

    I first heard about Sophie and Amazing Days Events through a vendor referral from the Canary hotel/Liza Gomez (catering sales manager). Looking back, that referral should have been wrapped in gold-glittered cellophane and hand-delivered to me on a Unicorn’s back because Sophie Spier absolutely without a doubt made my wedding PERFECT. I phone screened several planners from the referral, and definitely felt like I could happily use any of their services, until the day I talked to Sophie and it was game over for the rest of them. Right off the bat I could tell her personality and smile would be contagious, like I like to think mine is, and that our casual banter over the phone from less than ten minutes talking would only grow with our relationship planning my wedding. I only used Sophie for the ‘day of’ wedding planner, but I have no doubt that she would have planned the same wedding I did if not a better one (I still have to give myself some cred for planning my own wedding haha!). She did handle all the vendor details for the wedding day, and created a timeline I dreamed about for weeks. Her planning website is fabulous and she tracks all your contracts and payments and guests and seating charts to the point where you almost forget you are stressed from planning a wedding! She also answered every horridly annoying email I sent to her regarding completely irrelevant details swiftly and always offered feedback or praise to keep me going in the right direction. When I met her in SB at our first face-to-face, she hugged me as genuinely as a long-lost friend would, and I always felt like her top priority when we were together. Come wedding weekend, Sophie was A-game from the wedding rehearsal to the last dance of the evening. She kept people focused but knew how to have fun with it, and I never worried once about the quality of my event in her hands. I would recommend Sophie to anyone looking to get married in SB, or honestly anywhere you could convince her to go. She wo

    If you're looking for an event coordinator in Santa Barbara, look no further! You've found her! Sophie was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't be more grateful for her assistance. The event was perfect, without a single hitch and we have her to thank for that! We were able to focus on each other and our guests while she handled everything else. Sophie knows weddings and gave us perfect recommendations. She is also very attentive, caring and fun!! What more could you ask for??

    Sophie is a true gem! She made the entire process flow so effortlessly, with such professionalism, and she made it so much fun. It was like planning a wedding with a best friend! She has such a beautiful, radiant personality and her enthusiasm and passion for what she does is something truly rare. She has such an amazing attention to detail, gives the best advice and most importantly, is so trustworthy.. I honestly couldn't say enough good things about her. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and it was all because of Sophie. THANK YOU!

    Sophie was fantastic! She did everything we hoped for and more, from the first consultation months before the wedding until the last items were cleared at the reception. Sophie is enthusiastic, energetic and totally fun to work with. She is responsive, has great referrals, and knows how to make an event run without a hitch. She orchestrated our rehearsal with spunk and professionalism, and on the wedding day, was there to oversee every last detail. We didn't worry about a single item because we knew Sophie was on top of it. I recommend Sophie without reservation!

    I can not say enough wonderful things about Sophie and Amazing Days Events! My (now) husband and I were planning our wedding in Santa Barbara, CA from Boston, MA which made coordination even more challenging. As soon as we jumped on the phone with Sophie we immediately felt at ease. Throughout the planning process she was incredibly helpful, offering suggestions and honest advice. She was also extremely organized and kept all of our vendors on the same page. We appreciated her humor and kindheartedness and by the end of the big day we felt like we had made a great friend. We would absolutely recommend her to any other brides and grooms-to-be!

    Let me just say right off the bat that you should hire Sophie! This is some of the best money we spent to help create the wedding of my daughter's dreams. Sophie is highly experienced, on point and knowledgeable. She never steered us wrong and was super responsive and professional throughout the planning process. Her experience was essential to a smooth rehearsal and gorgeous wedding day with our large and somewhat rowdy wedding party. Being Mother of the Bride is an awesome and somewhat stressful position. Sophie made it easy. Her presence made the day flow perfectly...or at least appear so. I've no doubt that she handled a variety of issues without me even knowing about them and the best part is that I was confident that we were in good hands. Her style is direct, efficient, fun-loving and energetic. She worked beautifully with our caterer and venue people. My daughter, the bride, LOVED her. We could not have asked for better and are so very thankful that she was a part of our day!

    Sophie is awesome! She was quick and responsive to all my questions and thoughts. She provided helpful tips and ideas throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, it could not have gone any smoother! Sophie took care of it all! I didn't have to worry about a thing. If you want someone who will make sure your wedding day goes exactly as you imagined - go with Sophie!

    This is one review I am more than happy to write. I am type A, organized, and manage projects for a living so you can imagine I would not trust just anyone to coordinate my wedding. Sophie was a perfect fit for me, my mom and fiancé. I completely trusted that my wedding was in good hands on the day of our wedding. I didn't spend 2 minutes thinking about logistics or details and that was the whole point. Also she is an incredible price point for her responsiveness and knowledge base. I never waited more than 24 hours to receive a comprehensive response to any questions or new developments. Sophie is an experienced coordinator who has a lot of experience. If you ask her opinion she will give you an honest answer based on her experience. She knows what she is doing and can provide suggestions for how to achieve what you want while run smoothly. I found this incredibly valuable and trustworthy. She didn't steer me wrong once. Sophie immediately struck me as slightly different that many of the other coordinators and planners I spoke with in the wedding industry who are just super peppy and focused on making everything pretty. Don't get me wrong, I wanted it pretty but I also wanted to avoid disasters. That's why I loved Sophie, she got everything done! She was highly responsive, organized, and totally on top of everything from the minute we hired her several months prior to our wedding. Not to mention she is awesome, fun, very friendly and great to work with. All of our family and guests said she was a true pleasure. She handled our slightly crazy bridal party wonderfully during the rehearsal and when Sophie spoke, people listened so the ceremony went off without a hitch! Our day was not flawless ( no weddings are) but it appeared that way to both us and all of our guests. The event was incredible and perfect thanks to Sophie. Mission accomplished! I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone

    Sophie is truly amazing!! My fiance and I hired Sophie since we live in NYC and were getting married in Santa Barbara... and we only visited a couple of times before! We knew that we needed some help :)

    In came Sophie! She is a woman who has her stuff together!! She helped us build a timeline and focus on things that we needed to get done in preparation for our big day, and made us feel super comfortable and secure that we weren't missing anything and made all of our deadlines. We also ended up working with almost all of the vendors that Sophie recommended and they were awesome. She also made a few design suggestions that turned out really beautifully!

    We had our ceremony at Elings Park and the reception at The Granada Theatre (both Sophie recommendations!)... definitely look into both of those venues if you haven't already, brides - these venues both exceeded our expectations in every way! Everyone told us that we shouldn't worry about the "little things that go wrong," but our wedding day went by without a single hitch! Literally, everything was totally smooth, and Sophie helped organize all of our vendors (we had A LOT) and managed the timeline of the day incredibly well. I had absolutely nothing to worry about, other than having a good time and spending time with guests!

    Sophie has a great energy, is really fun to work with, and genuinely cares about making your wedding day exactly what you hope it would be. I enjoyed working with her so much, and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a planner or coordinator.

    I hired Sophie to be the month of coordinator for my August wedding, and it was the best decision I made. She is seriously amazing. I got married at Elings Park in Santa Barbara which is a challenging venue to plan a wedding at in that you need to bring in everything and hire a different vendor for each part of the wedding. For our wedding, we had 10 different vendors who all needed to be coordinated with and kept on schedule throughout the event. Sophie handled it all flawlessly and made sure that my only job was to have a blast! I honestly did not worry about a single thing the day of the wedding because I knew she was there and was handling everything in the background.

    Prior to the wedding she was very communicative and provided great suggestions for vendors and ideas. I was looking specifically for a bluegrass band to play during the ceremony, and when we were having trouble locking one down, she reached out to some of her contacts and found us an amazing group to play that day. She also met us up at the venue a month or so before the wedding and helped us nail down all the remaining timing and set up details for the day, and when we got stuck on a decision, she offered great suggestions. I feel like she was a crucial part of how everything came together in the end.

    Her personality is also very refreshing! She is very down to earth and fun, but when she needs to take control of a situation, she has no problem doing so. We had a lot of different personalities and cooks in the kitchen with our wedding, and she related very well with everyone and juggled everything we threw at her. She has also worked with most of the vendors in the area, and every vendor we hired said they loved working with her and how seamless everything feels when she’s involved.

    I feel like everyone who is getting married needs someone like Sophie in their corner! She is truly amazing at what she does and she’s so easy to work with as well. I can’t recommend her enough.

    Sophie is amazing!! If there were more than 5 starts to give, I would. Sophie from day one was great, so friendly and helpful. She has such a great personality and was so fun and easy to work with. She's incredibly organized which gave me permission as the bride, to relax. I knew I was in good hands and everything would be taken care of. And it was! I can truly say Sophie made it possible for me to worry about absolutely nothing on my wedding day, and I'm a control freak so I can't tell you how amazing that is!! She nailed every detail, kept every vendor organized and on task, even did crowd control with some unruly guests...and every piece of advice Sophie had to offer we used and are grateful we did. If you are looking for an amazing wedding planner/coordinator, Sophie is it!!!

    Hey all you future brides out there! If you are looking for an outstanding Wedding Planner, you are about to get her name! Sophie Spier at Amazing Day Events is truly amazing! She helped us pull our daughter's wedding together in a little under four months and was extremely professional, yet personable. She gave us great advice and ideas and was quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She provided the push when needed (and we needed it!) to keep us on track and on time and pulled all our decorative touches together, improvising perfectly where needed. We could not be more pleased with her services or the outcome of the wedding! You won't be disappointed!!!

    Sophie was the most amazing event coordinator-hence the name of her business. ;) We had fun throughout the entire planning process, she was responsive to all our questions, and she took care of every detail the day of the wedding. I have an insane type A personality and even I was relaxed the entire day. Everything was on time and went smoothly. She connected us with all of our vendors and we loved them all! She is a lovely person to work with and I highly recommend her for your amazing day!

    We could't have asked for a more perfect day for our wedding. Sophie was simply amazing! Having a destination wedding was a little overwhelming as we could not physically be in town all of the time to cover the details; however, Sophie made what seemed impossible, so possible. Her attention to detail, getting to know us as a couple and individually, hearing what we both felt was important and making it happen, conencting us and working with all of our vendors and turning our vision into reality - simply amazing. She held our hands the entire way to make sure we were feeling ok and ensured she completely understood what we wanted. Sophie is the only way to go if you want to ensure you have the most special event ever!

    Sophie was phenomenal. Period. The End. One of the best decisions was hiring Sophie and Amazing Days Events.

    Sophie was always available and made the process so much more enjoyable. No question to small, trivial and she was always a few steps a head. And not just on the day of (which was amazing and we'll get back to that!) but during the entire year of planning. Over the many months, her help and guidance, constant support, encouragement and advice was nothing short of fantastic. All hard work truly paid off and the entire day was just wonderful!

    Our friends and family raved and many people mentioned how seamless the entire day seemed. While we had a team of superior vendors, Sophie's timeline and organization helped orchestrate the day so seamlessly and we were lucky to have her by our sides.

    Hire Sophie and Amazing Days Events and you won't be disappointed!

    It was such a pleasure to work with Sophie on our wedding. I produce TV for a living and am not use to turning the "show" over to anyone else. We had close to 20 different vendors, 4 locations, 4 branches of families (not all of whom cared for each other) and a very tight schedule. About a month before the wedding, we had a lovely meeting with Sophie and went over the details of how we envisioned the day would go. Sophie made very helpful and experienced suggestions with both the schedule and vendors. At that point, we handed over the reigns. Sophie was fantastic, she became the point person for all of our vendors and created a solid delivery and pick-up schedule which ensured we didn't receive any additional fees from our location. Everything was in on time, we were never frantic that something didn't show up or that someone was lost. By the time that we arrived, our dream had become a reality. The caterers were cooking, the furniture was placed and the flower vendor was putting together gorgeous fresh cut flower and candle displays. All my bride and I had to do was smile for the camera. Once our guests arrived, they were gently and enthusiastically steered through the entire event; we have heard of nightmares about over-bearing Coordinators who actually scream at guests. But on the contrary, we were told by our parents and guests that they thought Sophie was kind and fun. Overall, Sophie was extremely professional and always available. I would highly recommend Amazing Day Events if you are looking for a responsible, highly knowledgeable and professional event planner to help create your perfect day.

    Sophie is absolutely the best! If you would like to enjoy your wedding, you need Sophie. She is very knowledgeable and gives great advice all along the wedding planning process. She will make sure everything runs smoothly on the wedding day and I couldn't be more thankful. Our wedding day was the best day in our lives and we have Sophie to thank!

    Sophie is awesome. I highly recommend hiring her. I hired her for day of coordination, but she actually started contacting my vendors the week before and confirming all of them for me. It was so great to know that she had taken over so I could just concentrate on managing my wedding jitters. We had a few hiccups throughout the day and she handled each of them as if they were no big deal. She was great and I'm super thankful I hired her.

    We worked with Sophie on a day-of event basis. My favorite thing about working with Sophie leading up to the wedding was her patience, her responsiveness, and her ability to always be one step ahead of me. My family and I were so thrilled to have found her because we could be ourselves around her. Whether it be via casual email communication or in person- she understood us and our odd family dynamic and put up with our sarcasm. Being the professional that she is, she never stooped to our level but remained ever so charming, though we appreciated that her quick wit could keep with us and made us smile and laugh! I was very happy and completely confident in handing everything over to her at the rehearsal. I never looked at my email or phone the day of the wedding, and it went perfectly smooth (or at least that's what Sophie led us to believe!). Sophie is very supportive and thorough and I cannot thank her enough, you'd be lucky to work with her!

    My now-husband and I loved working with Sophie. She's not only fun to be around but she is amazing at her job. We hired her as a day-of coordinator but we also got to have some helpful planning meetings with her, as well as a venue walk-through. Her advice and expertise were superb and she made sure our big day ran exactly as planned. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know!

    Sophie was such an important part of our wedding from the beginning, and up until the last song was played, she made sure everything was perfect! Throughout the process she was organized, transparent, honest, helpful and always did everything with such a positive attitude, even when I asked a million questions at a time. She was an incredible coordinator who provided invaluable recommendations for almost all of our other vendors including our caterer, DJ, florist and strings.

    Our wedding day was so organized that we did not have to worry about feeling rushed and got to spend time with our guests, with each other and truly enjoy our special day. We got tons of great feedback from our guests and they were shocked that we were so on point with timing and that everything was flawless. I didn't expect anything less with Sophie on our team! "Day-of-coordinator" really does not do justice to her dedication and support. I am so grateful for Sophie and all her hard work to make our wedding day perfect! I highly recommend her to any bride who is looking for a flexible, fun, organized and very professional coordinator.

    Sophie is an absolutely fantastic wedding planner and coordinator, her help was invaluable during our wedding planning process! From our first phone conversation, she immediately made me feel relaxed and prepared for the planning to come. She is ultra organized, very professional, and fun. I could tell immediately that wedding preparation is an inherent gift that Sophie has, she knows exactly what you need and where to get it from, she has an answer for everything. During on-site meetings and innumerous phone calls and emails - Sophie made sure every detail was accounted for. She has a terrific preffered vendor list that collaborate very well together, and she also acted as liaison between them. Thanks to Sophie, both the rehearsal and the wedding itself were perfectly planned and executed without issue. Most importantly, I was able to fully enjoy my beautiful day knowing that the details were in her capable hands. I truly can't place a value on her services, she was absolutely terrific and I highly recommend.

    Sophie Spier is an outstanding professional who exemplifies all the characteristics and traits one seeks in an event planner! Working with her for our wedding was an absolute pleasure and her services were second to none. Thanks to Sophie, our wedding process was so stress free and enjoyable. It was such a relief to find someone who strove for excellence, valued customer satisfaction, and did so at such a great value.

    Sophie, you made our wedding such a memorable and fantastic event! Thank you so much for all your hard work and your incredible personality. You are truly a master at your profession!

    I recently worked with Sophie with Amazing Day Events at a wedding at a private estate in Santa Barbara. As a photographer, I was part of "behind the scenes" and witnessed her attention to detail and genuine interest in the bride and groom. The wedding was beautiful and everything ran smoothly! I hope to work with her again in the future!

    USE AMAZING DAY EVENTS!!!! Sophie is amazing. She is the best decision you will make in planning a wedding.

    She works incredibly hard before the event and during the event. We got married in September at the Mission and Rockwood, the Women's Club, and she was a lifesaver. She provided lots of great venue and vendor recommendations and was just fabulous. We are living in NYC and relied on her for so much. During the wedding she was everywhere when we needed her yet she seemed to always be behind the scenes. Even our guests commented on how great she was. I swear by how on top of things she was throughout the whole process and what she knows needed to get done. The pre-meetings were so helpful and put us at ease after each time we met with her. She gave us so much to think about and always was honest and straight to the point. She also helped us save money when we could. She understood family dynamics and was just so PERFECT.

    I don't know how anyone gets married without Sophie, her recommendations and expertise are invaluable. Everyone needs a Sophie!

    Sophie was a great wedding coordinator! I wasn't planning on having one at first but my venue required it. Once I got a bit further into the planning I was so grateful that they did! It was so helpful having Sophie there to answer all my questions and keep me on track during the planning process. She was great to have on the big day as well! She helped us stay on our timeline and kept everything running smoothly. A great experience! Definitely recommend!

    We were so pleased to work with Sophie. At first we were uncertain about the value of a wedding co-ordinator. We were a small wedding - 45 in total - and didn't want things too complicated. We thought we could do it on our own however our venue mandated we have one. We approached a few and Sophie came across as fun and engaging, a great listener (which she has been consistently), understanding of our concerns and what we wanted to achieve and she also offered pricing and packages that were very competitive. Her ability to communicate by phone and email has been great, which was important as neither of us lived in SB and in fact the bride lived in Australia. Sophie proved really useful during the planning process, suggesting vendors, raising questions we wouldn't have thought of and giving great suggestions and advice. She came into her own in the two weeks leading up to the wedding and especially on the day. She checked details, kept us on time and soothed our anxieties and concerns, thereby making the wedding SO much more fun and relaxing for us. Sophie is also very diplomatic and discrete and was able to say the more difficult things when needed but in a sensitive and understanding way, which is a rare quality but critical for an excellent wedding co-ordinator. We really enjoyed working with her, she is a great person, is very competent at her job and was very good value. We completely recommend her.

    Choosing to work with Amazing Days Events (Sophie Spier) as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Sophie has a wonderfully energetic personality, and is so incredibly knowledgable! We actually went with two three other vendors who she recommended and all of them were AMAZING. Sophie worked with us throughout the whole process and was SO quick and responsive whenever we had any questions at all! She was extremely helpful in our planning meetings and the site walk through. The planning worksheets she provided us were so helpful in keeping us organized and on track. She is honest and offers helpful suggestions and advice, but always listened to what WE wanted and didn't try to change that. I loved that! Sophie was flexible and able to work with last minute changes and was amazing to have at the wedding rehearsal- everything ran smoothly and people did exactly what they were told to do! On the day of the event, Sophie kept a cool and calm demeanor while at the same time making sure everything ran smoothly- not only did I love working with her, but many of my guests/family members also commented on how great she was! All of the other vendors enjoyed working with her too, and she kept everyone on track and on time! Going into the wedding day, I completely trusted Sophie to take over all logistics of the wedding day so I didn't have to think of any of the details and she not only met m expectations, but exceeded them! I would highly recommend Sophie and if I were getting married again- I'd use her again!

    Sophie was extremely helpful in my decision process to hire a wedding coordinator. She spent about 30 minutes for a free consultation to meet me. She asked all the right questions. She has exactly what I was looking for in a wedding coordinator, concise, helpful and prepared. She walked me though a lot of my unanswered questions. I would recommend anyone to hire her! She is so sweet and amazing at what she does.

    Sophie, with Amazing Days Events, proved to be an INVALUABLE asset to our wedding day. She provides a few different package offerings, based on your needs. I had a package that included 2 planning meetings and 8 hours of coordination on the wedding day. Sophie was also present for our rehearsal the day before the wedding to walk everyone through their responsibilities. Throughout the process, I was able to email/call her at any time. I always received welcoming and prompt responses. I was pretty much clueless in the department of wedding planning, so I took much of her advice regarding vendors, etc. She clearly has an amazing relationship with MANY vendors in the area, and is very well respected. She also went above and beyond what I thought I had paid for. She was very open and available, through the entire process. On the wedding day, she was there early (even before I showed up), making sure everything was set. My now mother-in-law told me the next day that "Sophie was worth her weight in gold". She made the party fun and relaxed for us and our families, by handling coordination and details/flow. Lastly, she has a wonderful personality. She is very honest and, for example, will tell you if she doesn't think something will work, or advice based on her experiences. She is assertive, fun, kind and extremely professional. We couldn't have had such a seamless and wonderful wedding without her! Do yourself a favor and add Amazing Days to your team. You won't regret it!

    My husband and I both agree that hiring Sophie from Amazing Days events was the best money we spent on our wedding. She was incredibly responsive to our MANY questions leading up to the big day, and offered suggestions of things she thought we could do to improve our ceremony. Many of her ideas were awesome, but in some instances we decided we wanted to stick with our original plan and she was positive and accommodating. Her connections with local vendors ensured that everything we needed arrived on time and according to plan. Having Sophie on hand really took the stress out of the day and allowed us (and our moms) to just relax and enjoy the process of getting married. Everyone in our wedding party was impressed by her too. If I could have Amazing Days plan everything I do for the rest of my life, I would.

    We cannot say enough about Sophie! She is attentive, organized, friendly, fun and an overall delight to work with. She will give you the piece of mind you need on your special day. From the onset, Sophie helped us with recommendations, proper procedures and any etiquette questions we had. Two weeks before the wedding she confirmed all of our vendor deliveries, so we could concentrate on spending time with family. Our bridal party thought she was wonderful during the rehearsal. She was thorough, entertaining and was able to calm everyone's nerves. On the day, Sophie arrived early to make sure everything was in place and did not leave until everything was packed up and placed in our room. Our wedding would not have been the same without her. If something went wrong during the day, we had no idea, Sophie was on top of everything! We love Sophie!

    Sophie planned my April wedding in Santa Barbara this year and I cannot say enough about her. She was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I'm a TV producer and my husband plans big events so between the two of us we didn't think we needed a planner/coordinator. Boy were we wrong. From our first meeting Sophie not only made me feel like I wanted to be her best friend, but she also brought up so many things that I hadn't even begun to think about. She was patient, kind, thorough and direct. The best part was that we were planning a slightly outside the box wedding and she not only encouraged and added to our ideas but made sure they were executed flawlessly. Trust me when I say no one could have done a better job than her. She always made us feel like we were a top priority and worked with me every step of the way. I would have had a walkie talkie attached to me the day of my wedding had it not been for Sophie. When the day came I didn't worry or think about a single thing thanks to her. We were also on a pretty tight budget and her prices are beyond fair. Actually it's a crazy value. I could go on and on but I will just end with the fact that everyone left our wedding saying it was literally one of the best parties they had ever attended and so much of that is due to our amazing Sophie.

    Sophie was truly the best wedding coordinator we could have ever asked for! She was professional, detail oriented, relatable, and full of wonderful ideas! She made the wedding day seamless and perfect. One less thing a bride and her mother have to worry about :)

    Thanks again for everything, Sophie!!

    There aren’t enough words to describe how skilled, talented, organized, personable, energetic and fun Sophie Spier of Amazing Days Events is. I can say without a doubt that there’s no way we could’ve had such a perfect wedding without her. Sophie was instrumental throughout our planning process, always giving us sound, honest advice on how to best organize our event. The night before our wedding, she led our rehearsal and gave a lovely intro to our friends and family about the weekend events. This really set the tone for a love and fun-filled weekend. The day of the wedding went on without a hitch because of her hard work and setup skills. She took our vision and made it even more beautiful than we imagined it could be. She was flexible and accommodating to all our needs. Plus, she is so fun and pleasant to work with. I’m sure there are a lot of wedding coordinators who do not have the personality to back up their work. Sophie is the best of both worlds and will make any wedding perfectly beautiful. I’m so happy and honored that we got to work with her, and you should be too!

    Sophie was awesome to work with. She is extremely well organized, creative, enthusiastic and just down right fun to work with. She helped us kick our event up a notch and gave us the confidence that it would be a success. On the night of the event, we could sit back and enjoy, knowing that Sophie was on top of making it all come together. Thank you Sophie!

    Amazing Days Events was a fantastic event planning company I used for my wedding. From the first time I met Sophie I knew we had to hire her to help us coordinate and plan our special day. She was just fantastic! She helped us tremendously and was so kind, sincere and flexible with us. Our wedding day was perfect and so much of that is because of Amazing Days Events and Sophie. Thank you so much Sophie, you made our beautiful day go so smoothly and I got to be a stress free Bride!

    If I could rate higher than 5's I would. Sophie was such a delight to work with - an incredible upbeat attitude with a ton of expertise. Could not have found anybody better to help us with our event. If you are in need of an event planner then look no further because you just found the best!!!

    Sophie is amazing at what she does! Not only is she warm, personable and energetic, she is creative and professional. She took into account so many factors that my team and I were challenged with when planning our corporate event. Sophie was on time to every meeting, she took notes and provided a detailed schedule/timeline of the event. We all enjoyed working with Sophie, she is a gem.
    I highly recommend Sophie for any party planning needs you may have whether it be a corporate event or wedding!

    Sophie did an amazing job helping me to plan my wedding and then coordinated it all on the day. She knew all the best vendors in Santa Barbara and put me in touch with great people to work. They all came through on the day and our photos are out of this world. I was pregnant when I started planning the wedding, took a break after giving birth, and then got married when our son was 10 months old. Sophie was there on the email or phone anytime I had a question or we had to change something. She was both knowledgeable and fun to work and kept a sense of humor through it all. On the day of the wedding I was so relaxed I even got to have lunch with my bridesmaids. In the end, our wedding was truly magical and a once in a lifetime event we will cherish forever. Thank you Sophie for all your efforts and being there for both of us.

    I worked with Sophie on planning my wedding at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara. As soon as I spoke to her on the phone, I knew that she would be wonderful and easy to work with. I trusted all of her recommendations for vendors and she made the entire planning process was very easy and stress-free. When she was there on the wedding day, she guided us through the event seamlessly! I couldn't have imagined my wedding without her as a part of it.

    Sophie Spier is the BEST wedding coordinator I could have possibly chosen for my wedding! On my wedding day I didn't worry for one minute, knowing that everything was in Sophie's hands and she could handle anything that came her way. She is professional, responsive, talented, experienced, fun to be around, and helpful from start to finish. I owe everything to Sophie for making the wedding day run so smoothly and exactly as I had envisioned. Sophie always went out of her way to make sure the wedding was a success!

    Sophie is nothing short of exceptional. I couldn't be happier that she was recommended to me by several other vendors. Any bride would be lucky to have Sophie by their side throughout the wedding planning process!

    Thanks for everything Sophie!

    Our wedding was in Santa Barbara at the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore. We had a very small and intimate wedding with minimal details, and a fairly simple planning process; however, I still needed guidance and help to set everything into place. Upon my first discussion with Sophie, I knew we would work well together and her easy-going personality really calmed me from the beginning. She immediately gave me vendor recommendations and opened the lines of communication for us. I live in Alabama, so all of my planning was via email and phone conversations, which Sophie always took time for, and she really hit on everything without me having to bring up concerns. I cannot explain all that Sophie took off of me during the planning process and on the big day. Her professional opinion was truly valued and her answers to my concerns always made sense. She allowed us to personalize it to fit our personalities, and was so kind during the process. Her presence made me so calm on our wedding day, and any questions/concerns went to her and not to me. What a relief! Sophie is really easy to communicate with and a pleasure to be around. She is really good at what she does and I do not see anyone being disappointed! She was a great decision!

    I LOVE SOPHIE! If I lived in Santa Barbara, I would call her up to go have cocktails! Alas, I do not, and that's part of the reason I enlisted her help in the first place. She's very responsive throughout the planning process, a shoulder to cry on when you're feeling frustrated, and always has a great attitude. She's also very good about telling you will work and what doesn't, so listen to her. She really does know best, but is also very good about helping you bring your vision to life. Again, I LOVE HER, and I wish I lived closer to her so we could hang out again. I loved my wedding, and I have Sophie to thank for that.

    Between my parents, myself, and my director husband who stepped in late in the game with all kinds of suggestions--all of us planning remotely (we live in Brooklyn)--Sophie had a lot of different input and requests to handle, yet she did so gracefully and seamlessly. She's a total pro and offered great advice throughout the process.

    During the wedding weekend, she was in control without being controlling, and made everything come together so flawlessly that on the day of our wedding we didn't have to worry about a single thing. We were completely relaxed and confident that should any last minute upsets arise, Sophie would be there to see them through. As a result, we had the best time of our lives, and we couldn't have done it without Sophie. Thank you for being a key part of our big day!

    Amazing Days Events provides 'day of' event management. But in reality, Sophie Spier provided so much more. We met several times at various points in the planning and Sophie helped with organization, vendor selection coordination and advice. Once we got to within weeks of the event, she went into high gear, calling all of the vendors and making sure that our ideas and 'vision' would be implemented. On the day of, she efficiently and confidently managed the people and schedule. I was able to focus on my daughter's wedding because Sophie took care of all of the details, large and small. I can honestly say that without Sophie, I would not have the memories I now have of this important day.

    Sophie came on board to help me with my rehearsal and day of the wedding. She put me at ease right away. Before the wedding she was my sounding board and source of advice. The weekend of the event she was my best friend, doing everything from helping me personally to making the entire night run smoothly. I was able to plan my own wedding with personal touches and professional advice. I was able to enjoy my day knowing it was in Sophie's capable hands. I would give Amazing Days 10 STARS if I could!

    Sophie coordinated the day of our wedding and she was absolutely amazing. She thought of everything and she is super outgoing and FUN! She prepared us perfectly at the rehearsal so we knew exactly what to expect. She also made tons of suggestions on things we hadn't even thought of, but she was never pushy and always remained flexible. Before the wedding day, she contacted every vendor to make sure they knew their role, schedule, what to bring, etc. It helped that she had worked with all of our vendors before and knew exactly what to expect. The wedding was perfect and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Sophie!

    I started planning our wedding on my own and was completely overwhelmed. My caterer recommended Sophie at Amazing Days Events, and I am so happy she did. Sophie was so organized and great to work with, I really don't know what I would have done without her! My husband and I got married at a privately owned estate so there was a lot of things to coordinate and a lot of different vendors to work with, but Sophie was on top of it all. She worked closely with us to put together a timeline for our prefect day and it went off without a hitch. She helped answer all my questions and brought up things I never would have thought of, so when our wedding day finally arrived I was at ease and confident that everything would go smoothly with Sophie's help, and it definitely did. I really think Sophie was outstanding to work with and I highly recommend her!

    Sophie did an amazing job coordinating! We were on a tight budget and just needed a day of coordinator, and Sophie's services really came at a great value! She was able to recommend some fantastic vendors and was always available to give guidance or answer the smallest of questions along the way. Sophie has such a friendly & cheerful personality, which made her really enjoyable to work with. I really didn't know where to start with planning a wedding and all the details that needed to be taken care of, but Sophie guided me through the whole process and made sure I had every little thing covered. I'm very indecisive, and Sophie helped give lots of suggestions and ideas, while making sure that I ultimately made the decisions and that everything was how I would want it. Come time for the wedding we really felt like we didn't have to worry or stress about anything. I never once looked at a clock or schedule. She kept everything organized and moving and quickly & quietly let us know if there was a decision or anything else needed from us. It really allowed us to truly be at ease and thoroughly enjoy ourselves on our big day! I would highly recommend Sophie and Amazing Days Events!

    Amazing Days Events made my wedding day easy and stress free. Sophie handled everything and gave me great advise along the way. She went above and beyond her duties to make my day perfect. I was an out of town bride and I didn't even feel like it. Sophie was there for me from start to finish even though I was not a local. I feel like I got more attention from her and for less money than I would have paid elsewhere. It was a great value and the best decision I made was choosing Amazing Days Events for my wedding day!

    Derek and I are so grateful for the hard work you put into helping us execute our wedding both before and during the BIG DAY. You were 100% our MVV (Most Valuable Vendor). Honestly, I said to Derek several times before the actual day – thank goodness for Sophie! Your attention to detail made the process very streamlined, but I also appreciated your flexibility and ability to make executive decisions when I was unavailable. It alleviated a lot of stress and I trusted your judgment ENTIRELY. Both Derek and I would recommend you to any couple looking for a planner who will get the job done from start to finish! Beyond that, I found you enjoyable to work with, affordable, and again, our most valuable vendor – by far. Thank you Sophie!!

    Thanks to Sophie Spier at Amazing Day Events, our wedding ceremony was incredible! She was THE best to work with! I seriously couldn't have asked for a smoother, stress free day! She was on top of everything, so knowledgable about my venue and everything that was needed to be arranged, and was so sweet to my family and so friendly with my vendors. She was flexible with my budget/needs (I had a small ceremony on a weekday and needed some planning prior and coordinating the day of). Her recommendations for local vendors were great-the florist I used was on her list and they were awesome! If you want no-worry and a beautiful ceremony/wedding-Sophie is your girl-her knowledge and expertise is like no other!

    Amazing Sophie from Amazing Days Events brings experience, leadership, flexibility, attention to detail and professionalism to every bride privileged to call her their wedding planner.
    At the rehearsal, Sophie took complete charge with valuable tips and instruction for everyone. I loved it when she told the wedding party that if they needed anything they were to come directly to her, not the bride!
    To be honest I wasn't sure we needed an event planner as both my Mom and I have planned large social and professional events, but I can say, "We needed Sophie." She was worth far more than I can ever express in words. Thank you Sophie!

    Sophie was fantastic. I interviewed four day of coordinators and she was the absolute best fit for our special day in many ways.
    On the day of the rehearsal I loved what she stated to the party. It is now time for Patricia and Walter to take off the planning hat and all questions will be directed to me. She was extremely competant!
    The day of, she checked in with me in order to be on the same page regarding the timeline. I could trust that everything was as it should be and then some.

    Let me just start out by saying I was really annoyed that my venue required I have a coordinator. I am a bit of a control freak but also pretty organized so I thought it to be completely unnecessary to have someone getting paid to do what I already planned to be doing. In my first conversation with Sophie I expressed these feelings to her. She immediately "put me in my place".....and thats how our love story begins!!
    I could not have asked for a better person to help coordinate our wedding. Sophie and I were immediately on the same page and big shocker she even asked me things that I, the super organized bride didnt even think of! She is top knotch and a firecracker at that. It took her all of 2 seconds to become part of our extremely disfuntional family. She made me feel so comfortable to entrust my year and a half of planning in her hands. I literally handed over the reigns and fully enjoyed the day. Any little issue that came up I would approach her about and it was already being addressed and worked on. I would recommend Sophie and her team to any bride who just needs that little bit of extra help and especially to the bride that needs a lot of extra help. She was truly a godsend on this special day and she has made a friend for life!

    We are so happy that we hired Sophie! From our first meeting, we knew she would be great. She was professional, fun, and always on top of it! She helped us with your day-of timeline, had helpful suggestions, and met us at the site to help us get a vision. She was also great at coordinating with our other vendors before the wedding. I had no worries on our wedding day and everything went perfectly smooth and everyone had a wonderful time! If anything went wrong behind the scenes, I don't know about it because it was probably taken care of immediately. Also, you can't beat her rate. Thank you Sophie!

    Sophie was amazing to work with. Once she had all of my vendors information, she was in touch with them immediately to make sure everyone was on the same page as to arrival, set up, etc. Most importantly, she put us at ease! She has an incredible way of calming you down and making you feel like everything is going great, the way it's supposed to!

    Sophie was WONDERFUL! Great to work with, on top of everything, and laid-back. She really understood our vision- and our budget. Her suggestions were great! I did not feel stressed out for a minute on my wedding day. I highly recommend her!

    In short, Sophie did a fantastic job as our day-of-coordinator. In the beginning, the suggestions she made for vendors were great and we were happy with everyone we chose to work with; in addition, they also ended up being very reasonable in their prices. Sophie definitely had our best interests in mind at all times and used her experience to help us deal effectively with minor issues that arose with those vendors, even though we were interacting with vendors that she will continue to interact with long after our wedding and it would have been easier for her to NOT advocate so strongly for us. Leading up to the wedding, Sophie always answered our questions in a timely manner, and her organization was absolutely key to helping keep us on track with the planning. It was so great to be able to let go of worrying about keeping track of time/events so that we could just sit back and enjoy the entire day. We loved her, and we know you will too!

    Sophie was absolutely and without a doubt AMAZING! She was very easy to work with, incredibly focused, very professional and tons of fun! My husband and I loved her from day one. She understood our vision for our wedding immediately and steered us in the right direction every step of the way to ensure our vision was carried out so we could have our perfect day. She gave us terrific vendor recommendations, made sure that we covered every detail (there were so many little things that we never would have thought of), provided excellent suggestions, answered every question promptly and gave both of us the exact level of support that we required. I hear of lots of brides being totally stressed during the planning process for the wedding, but we honestly had a blast! Sophie made it clear to all that my groom and I were there to enjoy our beautiful day and any concerns were to be directed to her....she even "handled" all those family dynamics that can make us crazy. We are thrilled to be married...but we had such a great time planning our day, and the ceremony and reception were so perfect that we are a bit sorry that it is over! We will have to have another celebration just for fun. Sophie was worth every penny - I never thought that I would be the type of bride who would use a wedding planner but boy am I glad we did!! She was fantastic!

    "A few days have passed now and I am trying to wrap my head around the wedding and all that happened. I cannot thank you enough for making every encounter with you such a pleasure….from our first planning day when we met on Halloween for happy hour and you were dressed up as a witch….to our final meeting when you were so efficient and so willing to run the show for me! When I walked into the Arts Center Friday evening I broke into tears because it was so beautiful and more than I ever imagined. You have such a gift of making everyone feel so comfortable. Thanks for all the tips, suggestions, names and numbers while I tried to navigate through a destination wedding. You helped me so much. Please use me as a contact anytime….stay with this business….you are just great at your job.” A heart of gratitude, ~ Sharon ...

    Sophie was fabulous as my day of coordinator. From our first phone call I knew she would take care of business! My only regret was not hiring her for more time, in hindsight I should have spent the extra money and used her more, because the last few days leading up to the BIG day are the most hectic!

    Sophie also has an amazing list of vendor referrals at several price points, which was a saving grace for me in regards to florals. I highly recommend Sophie and Amazing Days Events, they ROCK!

    If I could give Sophie 6 out of 5 stars I would. She was the most important vendor at our wedding and did a phenomenal job at a price that is much more reasonable than other day-of-coordinators.

    Sophie saved my sanity during the planning process. She was there to offer guidance and reassurances when I needed it. She understood what I wanted from my wedding day and I knew she was going to help me execute everything.

    Our wedding was difficult for a variety of reasons but Sophie took care of everything. I was able to relax and enjoy myself instead of freaking out about some of the things that went wrong. I didn't even know about half of them because Sophie handled things so smoothly.

    Not only did she save our wedding (from freak wind, cold guests, and grumpy vendors!) but she did it with poise, grace, and a wicked sense of humor. I have no idea how I thought I was going to manage this wedding without Sophie - it would have been a disaster! Thank goodness I hired her. My husband says she's worth her weight in gold and I agree 100%!

    We had a destination wedding 2,000+ miles from home. We decided that we needed a day-of coordinator to help execute our vision for our big day and be the "commander in chief" just in case something were to go wrong since no one from our party was from the Santa Barbara area. Sophie from Amazing Day Events was our answer! She came recommended to us from one of our other vendors and after reading her website and talking on the phone with her briefly, we had an instant connection and knew she was the one. Sophie is professional, personable, and knows her stuff when in comes to event planning. We did all the planning and she was very helpful in offering suggestions for the timeline, set up, vendor communication since of course we have never done this before. She understood what we wanted for our event and allowed us to just enjoy it and be the bride and groom. Thank you Sophie for being there for our rehearsal and on our wedding day. It was everything that we could have wished for and more! Oh and thanks too for giving us a ride to our after party! We still chuckle that the shuttle forgot to come back for us.

    Logistical Superstars!!

    We used Sophie and Kelsey for Month of Coordination and honestly my only regret is that I didn't get more help. They had the best vendor recommendations and connections, which was incredibly helpful since we were planning destination wedding. I had a few fires along the way and they always had quick and helpful responses. Aisleplanner was THE BEST tool ever. #sorryzola
    Kelsey handled the chaos of family characters with grace and patience that we had lost over a year of wedding planning. She stayed quick on her toes and was able to handle the (only!?) fiasco day-of when the officiant went to the wrong venue and left his phone in his car. On top of it she had the flu, moved and tied gorgeous bows on all our napkins within a month of our wedding date! Logistical superstars, book them now if you want a smooth running show!

    When we started planning our wedding a day-of-coordinator was nowhere in the budget, but when we booked our venue we were required to hire someone (thank goodness!). I looked up all of the recommended vendors from the venue and called around to the ones that seemed to best fit for us. As with all wedding vendors I found, everyone seems to be available between 9-5, which doesn't work for me seeing as I work full time. I called a few and left voicemails, probably around 7:30pm and figured I would hear back from some of them the next day. An hour later, around 8:30 on a weekday night, I got a call back from Sophie. We talked for probably a good hour, and I hired her on the spot. Not only was she super friendly, charismatic, patient and confident but she was also super open and available at the times when I needed her which was a huge plus for me! If you are debating a day-of-coordinator, do it! and use Sophie! I didn't use a ton of her vendor recommendations, as I had a fairly good idea of what vendors I wanted to use BUT I used her a lot to get her opinion on the vendors I was looking at, questions I had about certain specifics with rentals, timelines, etc. The main area we found Sophie to be absolutely invaluable in was the timeline. We sat down and went over our timeline months in advance of the wedding and it changed my whole perspective of the event. I never would have thought about so many of the little details and laying out a general timeline so far in advance really helped me throughout the rest of the planning process feel a little more organized. And then, rehearsal and day-of...oh my gosh. You have so much going on the day before and day of the wedding you can't possibly manage when and how all the different aspects of the day happen. All we had to do was enjoy the day. It might be hard to add this into your budget if you are like me and think that you can handle it all, but it was seriously priceless and Sophie was amazing!

    We used Sophie as the week of wedding planner for my daughter's recent wedding. After working through the details of who is responsible for what in terms of planning, Sophie turned out to be amazing on the day of the wedding! She was organized, calm, hard working and supportive. Her assistant, Nina, was equally wonderful! I was able to actually relax, knowing that things were in good hands, and enjoy this very special day. We truly appreciated Amazing Day Events!!!

    We hired Sophie as our week-of wedding coordinator. Although the week-of coordinator option was easier on our wedding budget than a full blown coordinator, it's a bit difficult to establish the connection/relationship as you would with a coordinator that you work with throughout the entire process--no fault of Sophie's, I think that's probably just the nature of a week-of coordinator. So my advice would be: know ahead of time whether you really just want someone to coordinate the wedding day, or if you want someone to give you direction during the entire process. That being said, despite only meeting once in person before my wedding, Sophie was able to pull it off flawlessly, and the vision that I'd had in my head of my dream wedding came to life. She is very funny, direct, and will give you her honest opinion on things. We shared different opinions at times and she always respected my decisions. She took a lot of stress off myself, my husband, and my mom, which was awesome. Thanks again Sophie!
