    They were perfect!

    We had such an amazing experience with Amy and her team. We were working with a different planner initially, which ended up not working out for a host of reasons and we brought Amy in a few weeks out from our wedding day and they truly saved the day! Working with them was a pleasure and the software platforms they use helped keep things nice, neat and super organized. From our initial call through signing off after the wedding they were incredibly attentive and on top of all the details! We could not have imagined a better experience with a planner and we'd 100% recommend Amy and her team!

    Absolute rock star team!

    Amy and her team were incredible. Amy guided us through the planning process and made everything so easy. The stress of planning can be immense but I would love forward to my calls with Amy as she is so kind and fun and had a way of making me feel relaxed and enjoy the process. But also she's just so organized and on top of it that it alleviated much of the stress I had. Onsite, her team was amazing. All I really wanted was to enjoy the day and not have to worry about ANYTHING. I didn't think that was possible.... turns it out is! I have NO IDEA what happened behind the scenes but I know that I had such a great day and that all of our guests said everything ran so smoothly. One guest commented that ours was in the "top 10% of weddings" she's attended just based on how well executed it was. We cannot thank Amy and her team enough for allowing us to sit back, relax, and enjoy this one-day-in-our lives event!

    Amy and her crew are awesome!

    I knew Amy was going to be our wedding coordinator the first time we video chatted. I felt like we were high school friends just planning a huge party that happened to be my wedding. Her and I both had the same level of organizational expectations which made working with Amy SO EASY! She kept me on track on where we should be in the timeline leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day she checked in to be sure we were doing okay and catered to my girls and made them feel special too! We DIY'ed our wedding which I know can be a lot and sort of scary to do but Amy helped to make sure that we had all the right pieces in the right places, and that we had thought of everything. The wedding day was smooth as could be! Not one complaint from anyone. The day went perfect! I am so thankful that we hired Amy and her crew! Thank you!!!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Courtney was the most organized bride I have ever worked with, ever! It was a dream working alongside her and helping her create a vision that turned into reality. She always had a smile on her face and was up for any bits of advice I could lend to make the day as smooth as possible! Her team showed up and set up (as promised) and not only delivered but WOW-ed us as a team. We loved working with you and with you both the best! xx

    Absolutely Phenomenal!

    Our wedding day turned out to be the best day of our lives and a huge part of that reason was because of Amy and her incredible team. Amy kept us on track (and calm) for our entire year and a half engagement process and she and her team were absolutely phenomenal the day of the wedding. Amy is so organized and made sure to discuss every detail with us so that our wedding would be what we dreamed of. She is very knowledgable about all things wedding and was very responsive to my wife's many texts, emails, and phone calls. She came highly recommended from our circle of friends and every expectation was exceeded! If you are looking at different planners, you can stop here because Amy Grace Events is the BEST!

    Wedding Planning Team

    I can't even begin to explain how amazing Amy and her coordinating team is! They made my husband and I's wedding into everything we dreamed of without any hesitation. I wasn't a bridezilla or anything but I showed Amy my wedding inspiration, it was mostly that rose pedal aisle every girl dreams about from Pinterest, and she was automatically like "Yes! I know the perfect team member to help with this!" And people... I walked down this gorgeous, better than Pinterest, rose pedal aisle. Even when I told her I was bringing in a very large tree for our unity ceremony she was all on board. Amy is extremely easy to talk to, very outgoing, and she has all of the connections in Santa Barbara. I love her ideas and her passion she has for her job. I never felt overwhelmed or stressed out when planning our wedding. Amy took a lot of that stress away. When our wedding day approached I had Natalie working our day. She *CLAP* is *CLAP* INCREDIBLE! That girl is fun and so energetic. She got everything done and did such an amazing job. Everything was better than I imagined. She always asked my guests and my husband and I if we needed anything and she was making sure everything was perfect all night. She's the one who put together my dream aisle. (See pics to see her amazing work). I just love this whole team they are seriously great people and they want your wedding day to be the best day of your life. Thank you so much Amy, Natalie, and team!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Laura- This honestly made me tear up. Our team LOVED doing your wedding. I was receiving texts the whole time showing how amazing it all came together and were gushing about how amazing you and Dimitri were. Can't wait to take over Pinterest with the BEST Aisle petal walk, ever!

    We wish you both the best and it was a complete honor planning (and laughing) along with you.

    Quality and personal service! Highly recommend!

    Amy is AMAZING! She makes you feel like you are her only client in the personal treatment she provides. She recommended great vendors and ideas and kept me on track with planning. Day of, she handled all of the details so we were able to relax and enjoy our big day. I cannot recommend Amy enough - She is the best!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Jessie and Tim were one of the most down to earth couples we've ever worked with. Their family was welcoming the weekend of their wedding and was a true honor to see two families joined together and the love they share. Thank you for choosing US to be your team and to make your dreams come true!

    Exceptional Wedding Planner

    First, let us say unequivocally that Amy is a phenomenal wedding planner and was a critical factor in making our day run extremely smoothly from start to finish. She straddled the fine line between friendliness and professionalism, knew when to jump in with fresh ideas and when to just let us go in the direction we wanted.

    At first we were not going to have a wedding planner, but the deeper we got into it, the more complex we realized a wedding can become – even a relatively simple one. Amy came on-board about 3 months before the wedding day. We had already booked many of our vendors, including the venue, DJ, and photographer, and we had also chosen our invitations. You would think that most things were falling into place, but we wanted someone on hand to handle all of the little day-of-event details so that we could focus on our own roles, speeches, and enjoying the day with family and friends. As my wife put it, we wanted someone, “walking around with a clipboard,” to keep everything on track and handle any problems that might come up. Amy and her team (there were two key assistants, Uli and Tori) did all of that, and more.

    We had three separate Skype meetings with Amy in the weeks leading up to the wedding, nailed down the time line and worked through the unfinished items, some of which had not even occurred to us. Not only was Amy extremely detail-oriented, but she was also quite brilliant in adding some really nice touches to our initial plan, including an awesome photo booth and after-dinner hour in the lounge. In addition, her intimate and long-term relationship with our venue helped contribute to keeping everything running smoothly throughout the day and evening. In short, she and her team met and exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    This made me tear up. Thank you so so much. I LOVED working with you both. I felt like we were friends the minute we all met. Thank you for entrusting us with the biggest day of your life. Thank you for being open to new ideas and adjusting when we needed to, anddddd..... GO BLUE!! :)

    Perfect Planner for Unexperienced Brides.

    Amy helped me plan and put together my wedding, and it couldn't have went better than it did. She was flexible with my obnoxious work schedule and accommodated my Husband and Mother in Law's as well when making times to meet and discuss important plans and steps of the process. Amy also offers an online planning course, which is a very unique way of allowing bride's not only budget accordingly, but plan a wedding their own special way, and provides videos with explanation and tips for every detail a bride is concerned with. I enrolled in the course and used her templates and videos as tools in my planning process and as a starting point to draw ideas/ inspiration from. Amy would often bring concerns and other questions to our attention that we didn't even consider in our planning process, which really helped us stay focused on what we were trying to accomplish. Overall, we were so thankful for her knowledge and professionalism. She is someone who is meant to do what she does, and it's to help plan amazing, but personal weddings for couples of all walks of life. We couldn't have had the most amazing day that we had without Amy and her team, and we highly recommend her!! :)

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Having clients that respect your years of understanding and put those pieces of advice into their day, can make the difference between good and great. Joelene and crew were so willing to listen to our thoughts and help us take all of their little ideas and place them together into a continuous string of unity. Their wedding day was perfect and the love that Joelene and Chris share was evident. Congratulations to the both of you! We loved being apart of your day.

    Amy is incredible! There are not enough amazing things in the world that I can say about Amy. She was so fun to talk to throughout the whole planning process and knew so much about the wedding industry. She worked with the majority of my vendors and knew everyone at the venue SO well! She was ON POINT the entire wedding day making sure we stuck to the timeline. I was not stressed at all knowing Amy and her team were handling everything exceptionally well. I felt so comfortable with her from our first phone call and was so sad to say goodbye to her at the end of our wedding night. Thank you for everything and making our day perfect :)

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Thank you so much, Brooke! It was an absolutely pleasure working with you and I am so happy to see you moving into this next phase of your life. I wish you and Andrew the very best and I can't wait to see what's next for you both!

    We chose Amy Grace Events, initially, because they were the most reasonably priced wedding coordinators in town. Best. Decision. Ever. From start to finish, throughout our wedding planning process, Amy and her team exceeded our expectations.
    In the months leading up, Amy checked in via email, and we had a few video meetings to go over necessary details. Amy is so personable and friendly! Every chat felt like a conversation with an old friend — yet she demonstrated the utmost professionalism. As far as tasks go, Amy is proactive, extremely detail-oriented, and always seems to be one step ahead. With my busy schedule, this is something that I really appreciated.
    During my wedding week, I met Amy’s team, and they were just as awesome! Our day-of coordinator, Jenni-Elise, was an absolute godsend!!! Her and her assistant, Tori, did an amazing job of making sure that everything ran smoothly, and that every detail was taken care of. Of course, there were a few random mishaps (example: we were short 3 floral arrangements), but Jenni and Tori handled everything and made sure that I had nothing to worry about on my big day. Plus, they were such a blast to hang out with!! I am SO grateful that they were there with me on the most important day of my life! Our wedding was beyond perfect because of them. :) We will cherish these memories forever.
    THANK YOU, Amy, Jenni, and Tori!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Rebekah- You are truly one of the kindest humans I've ever met! I am so happy that we were able to make your wedding day dreams come true and that you enjoyed every minute of it! We love you and wish you the very best! xx

    Amy is the girl you want coordinating your most cherished event just as much as she’s the girl you want with you if you were stranded on an island. She has got it all handled and does so very cool, calm and collected. Five stars ALL the way!!!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Thank you, Jen! You saw me working in all my logistic heaven and I'm proud that you feel I deserve a spot on a desert island with you!

    Amy Grace Events truly made our wedding what we had imagined, and so much more than we had ever hoped for – absolute best decision and expense towards wedding planning! They took the time with us in understanding our thoughts, ideas, vision, and designed a beautiful and perfect day for us. Our wedding could not have been what it became without their guidance, professionalism, client care and expertise. Amy Grace Events was there every step of the way from finding the perfect venue, to coordinating vendors, to making all the decisions with us for the big day - there wasn’t a detail missed and everything remained true to schedule. Our guests reported that it was one of their top weddings attended. I'm so fortunate that we got to work with them as it made planning a wedding enjoyable with all the necessary spreadsheets and more, all while creating lasting friendships with Amy Grace Events!

    Jessica, it was an absolute pleasure working with you and Sam. I loved working alongside your incredible team of vendors and I wish you both absolute happiness in your life! xo

    Amy is extremely personable and was able to connect with me immediately over the phone, which was important to me since I was planning my Wedding from out of town. I instantly trusted her skill and creativity and wanted to hire her after our very first phone call. Her confidence and knowledge initially sold me but her willingness to go above and beyond during the planning phase, her ability to keep my large bridal party in line while still being professional on rehearsal day and her patience and kindness on the day of is why I would recommend her to all Brides! From checking in on me and my timeline, offering to reach out to and source vendors within my budget, to staying longer than expected on my Wedding Day to help pack my car, she genuinely cares about you and your day and it truly shows - plus she's hilarious and keeps it all light and fun! I plan meetings for a living and felt completely confident in handing the entire day over to Amy and it was perfect!

    Being approved by somebody else in the industry means the world to me! Thank you for your vote of confidence. I wish you and Garrett all the happiness in the world as you embark on this journey together!

    Amy was our day of coordinator for our wedding back in 2014, but she was SO much more than just 'day of'. She met with me pretty much every month for nine months. She helped me make big decisions, and also worked with me on the wedding timeline as well as the photos list. I could not imaging my special day without her in it. She also helped coordinate the rehearsal which was a huge help and took so much pressure off of us. Our wedding day went perfectly smooth, because of Amy. I cannot recommend her enough!! If you want a seamless wedding weekend, and relaxed planning, then definitely hire Amy :)

    Thank you so much, Cori, for your kind words! You were an absolute dream to work with and I still use a lot of your personal spreadsheet grids with my clients! :)

    Amy was our day of Coordinator and she did so much more! If you are planning a wedding and considering who to lean on the day of, definitely consider Amy. She checked in with us along the way, gave us lists of things we had totally missed, and helped us create an amazingly unique and complex experience for our guests :]. The venue (Riviera Mansion) was fantastic, but the processions and events would not have run smoothly without Amy! She made agendas and gave them to most of our vendors and friends to keep the show running smoothly.
    Amy troubleshooted issues quickly. She is great on her feet and even arranged childcare for our guests!

    Amy Grace Events's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jessica! It was a pleasure working with you and Ryan! I wish you the best in your new life!
