    Amazing- worth the money!!

    Amanda was amazing! She was there for every step of the process as we got close to our day. She always answered our questions and was very helpful the day before and day of. If you’re deciding whether or not to hire a planner, just do it. It’s worth the cost because we were able to enjoy our day.
    Our cake was accidentally thrown out and Amanda reached out to our baker to have them make us another one. It was really nice of her and we appreciate that she went out of her way to do that for us. We love you Amanda!!!

    Amanda was a lifesaver for us

    We loved working with Amanda as our month of coordinator! We got engaged in August and wanted a fall wedding so we were a bit pressed for time. We had all our venues locked down but, as we got close to the date, I knew we would struggle without the help of a coordinator when it came to the details, setting up the spaces, and cleaning up - despite it being a smaller wedding. Luckily Amanda was available to help us and she thought of so many little things we had forgotten or hadn't thought of - like the liquor license for the welcome dinner, ideas for how to set up the ceremony space the night before, and many other details (like adjusting my dress at the altar because I didn't have bridesmaids!). When I asked her if she'd have enough to do since it was a smaller wedding with simple decor, she pointed out that she often does more in these cases than when there is a large vendor team to manage. And she was right - she was often in two places at once and was a lifesaver!

    Excellent Coordinator

    Amanda was great! Very professional, thought of everything we might have missed, and was on top of everything with the venue. Day-of, Amanda went above and beyond helping set up, keeping things running on time, and even breaking down equipment afterwards. We couldn’t ask for a better coordinator. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful Experience

    We opted for the "month of" wedding coordination services with Amanda for our wedding at Meridian House and had a wonderful experience. Amanda met with us about a month out from the wedding date and she mostly focused on planning a detailed timeline for the day. As we got closer to the date, she also helped coordinate some additional logistics (like picking up small decor items and bringing those directly to the venue). She also helped us navigate some tricky conversations during our walk-through and advocated for us when our catering company was giving us a hard time about some items. And on the day of, she was so organized, kind, calm and set up everything beautifully! Amanda always responded quickly to our e-mails and was very organized, and on top of that, she really made us feel comfortable with her warmth and her kindness.

    Great experience with day of Wedding Planner, Colorfully yours weddings and events

    Amanda went over and above making our day special. From the beginning she gave us valuable suggestions which were details we might have overlooked. Everything was under control, we did not need to be worried or get involved with any aspect of the day. This was a huge factor in allowing us to enjoy the event.
    Thank you Amanda!

    Attention to detail was outstanding

    Amanda was amazing as our wedding coordinator, going above and beyond to ensure our special day was flawless. Her responsiveness and communication skills were top-notch, as she effectively liaised with us and all our vendors. Amanda's attention to detail was outstanding, as she took care of countless logistics and finer points that we didn't even think about.
    Her dedication to creating a stress-free experience for us was truly impressive, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about a thing.

    Smooth Wedding

    Amanda was amazing! She took care of all the details so that i could focus on being a bride. She stuck to the timeline (i was very concern about the timeline since everything was so tight). She also helped unpacked and packed all my decorations - it was a very busy day and she handled all by herself! All my guests commented what a great wedding coordinator she was . She is sweet, and has a very calm demeanor.

    Saved the day!

    Amanda swooped in and saved the day when our previous planner had to step down a few months before the wedding. She was so attentive to details, and seamlessly jumped into our planning and vision. I really appreciated her organization, specifically the google drives with rentals and the forms that helped us think through the details. She was extremely professional and straightforward. She shared expertise from past weddings, but always put our wishes and vision first. At our rehearsal, she made it despite some car issues and got us through and to dinner on time. At our rehearsal dinner and our wedding, I always had a drink in hand thanks to Amanda! I think most notable is that any time I started to look for her at the wedding she would appear and ask what I needed. Everything ran seamlessly thanks to Amanda’s coordination and planning!

    Amanda is amazing

    We had the pleasure of working with Amanda as our wedding coordinator for our DAR Wedding! The month leading up to the wedding Amanda and I worked together flawlessly! She was very knowledgeable and put me at ease so close to the wedding. Wedding day she was amazing! The day turned out perfectly!! We loved working with her!

    Above and beyond!

    We hired Amanda as our month-of-coordinator after already signing contracts and getting things in place with our other vendors, and I knew immediately from her sweet and laid back personality that she was going to be wonderful to work with! Our venue was pretty strict with arrival and departure times, and she managed to make our big day flow so smoothly within those parameters- and other unexpected circumstances, like the rainy weather from Hurricane Ian on our wedding weekend! (I didn't end up being stressed about the rain, surprisingly, thanks to Amanda reassuring that we would still be able to make it all work and have the wedding of our dreams despite the rain- and we did). Her attention to detail was truly amazing: she even went above and beyond when I accidentally left an overnight bag at the venue, by driving there and back again to my hotel that night, to make sure I had it! There was one point in the weeks leading up to our wedding where we were a little concerned about responsiveness (she was handling multiple weddings at the time) but after expressing our concern to Amanda, she was so professional in her response and we had nothing to worry about afterwards!

    Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would 10/10 recommend hiring Amanda for your wedding! She will make your day so easy and fun!

    Amanda made our wedding happen!

    Our wedding literally would not have happened without Amanda. She created our timeline, ensured all our vendors had the information they needed, kept us and our vendors on time, made sure every detail we wanted happened, and even packed up our things and transported them to our hotel room at the end of the night. I don't know how she juggled it all! Our wedding day went off without a hitch and Amanda knew every detail of the day.

    We had the month-of coordination package and it worked perfectly for us. A month before our wedding we were able to hand Amanda all the details and information we had planned and she organized it all and put it into place. We also met a week before our wedding to go over final details and talk specifics about certain things (these frames go in this order and this thing is set up on this table). She made us feel very comfortable and ensured us that every detail was taken care of - and it was!

    I can't recommend Amanda enough. She knows what she's doing and goes above and beyond for her couples! I am so grateful for her work to make our day everything we wanted it to be. Book her!!

    AMAZING coordinator experience

    I cannot rave about our experience with Colorfully Yours (Amanda) enough!! She was recommended to us by our caterer and we cannot be more thankful. From the start, she was such a calming presence while I was freaking out about our venue change due to COVID (after a date change and down sizing). She was always available and took care of communications with vendors, layout coordination, etc. She even took care of things we didn't even know we had to think about and brought extra small decor to really spruce up our "cards and gifts" table, etc. We got SO MANY compliments about how smoothly our wedding went, how beautiful all the displays looked--which was all Amanda, we don't have a creative bones in our bodies. She was really the most essential person that day (after the bride and groom of course).

    Amanda is amazing!!

    We hired Colorfully Yours Events for partial planning for our May 2022 wedding. I didn't realize how much there is to do the weeks leading up and I couldn't have done it without Amanda. She worked seamlessly with all of my vendors and helped manage our over 20 person wedding party. I'm so impressed with her professionalism, organization, and patience - especially when we had to make several last minute changes due to rain. I highly recommend her!!

    We could not have done it without Amanda!

    Amanda was a huge help in the month leading up to our wedding and on the wedding day. She always had helpful suggestions and solutions to issues we weren't sure about how to handle. She came with us to do a final site visit and joined calls with all of our vendors. On the day of the wedding, she was there for the entire day, running between our hotel and the venue and making everything happen smoothly and on time. It was the best decision to hire Amanda!!

    Best Decision I made!

    I hired Amanda about 3 months before my wedding (that was rescheduled 2 times). Her help on the day and leading up to my wedding was amazing. I was able to have a completely stress free wedding day without worrying about anything. I would recommend her to anyone getting married!

    Amanda is the perfect wedding planner!

    We hired Amanda for "month-of" coordination and she was a lifesaver through two COVID postponements and when we finally got to have our wedding! She helped with vendor communication, making sure everything was done in advance, reminding me of the millions of details I otherwise would never have thought of, day-of set-up and clean-up, and keeping everything running smoothly for the best wedding! She's very friendly and has a calm demeanor and I would recommend her to anyone! I had the ideal wedding day where I didn't have to think about any of the details and could just sit back and enjoy the party, and Amanda was the worker behind the scenes who made that happen.

    Incredible! Could not have done it without her

    Amanda and her team were incredible! They were so helpful, responsive, truly made the whole day run smoothly. I had a campground wedding so there were a lot of moving parts. They handled everything so well, and even got my notoriously late family lined up and down the aisle on time! Amanda is so kind and so easy to work with. I am so grateful to her and her team in making my day a success. Highly recommend!!!

    Most amazing experience!

    From the very start, Amanda (at Colorfully Yours) was absolutely phenomenal. She was always professional, courteous, and valued my time. We chatted a few times on the phone and via email and she always responded right away. I was incredibly blown away by our first in-person planning meeting as Amanda went above and beyond and thought of things I never did. I chose the "month of coordination" package and couldn't be happier. I already had a vision and Amanda and her assistant executed it perfectly! I wanted a very specific setup for the tables, all of which were different. I sent some pictures to Amanda and viola, it turned out incredible with little guidance from me! Amanda truly went above and beyond in more ways than one. I would absolutely recommend her and am so grateful for her! Our wedding was perfect and I wouldn't have changed a thing!

    Colorfully Yours has Your Back

    Amanda and her team at Colorfully Yours were absolutely amazing and the best choice we made when planning our wedding. When we told Amanda what we wanted from a vendor, she presented the best possible options and contracts for us. As a couple new to the area, it was a weight off our shoulders to have someone on our team with so many connections to local vendors and insight to the NOVA wedding scene. When COVID forced us to change our plans, Amanda immediately reassured us that she knew exactly how to guide us through changing plans, and she certainly did! After working with her for months, Amanda felt like a trusted friend, and she certainly fit the part. Amanda and her team had our back and ensured vendors understood what we were looking for. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful despite the change in plans, and she was a boss on our wedding weekend providing guidance to all our wedding party. The Colorfully Yours team was incredibly professional, and we could not be any happier with their work. We would recommend Amanda and her team to anyone and everyone planning a wedding.

    We couldn’t have done it without Amanda!

    Getting married in the time of COVID is a uniquely stressful experience, but Amanda was with us every step of the way. From rescheduling the wedding, to rethinking the entire event, to keeping track of the ever-changing COVID-related restrictions, Amanda helped us navigate everything, cheered us on, and helped make the event a success. We got huge compliments from our guests about how great the wedding turned out to be. We highly recommend Amanda!

    You two were such a joy to work with, and dealt with all of the Covid changes and restrictions like saints! I can't wait to work with you on your big celebration with ALL of your family and friends next year!

    5/1/2021 Wedding at Glen Ellen

    Amanda turned our visions to reality. Weddings during these times are extremely challenging and we needed someone with exceptional knowledge and flexibility, Amanda and her team was it. She helped us with details that we would've overlooked, coordinated with all our vendors on our changes, participated on our vendor calls, and helped set up our entire outdoor wedding. We had many nuances that were part of the wedding; a DIY decor U-haul, potential inclement weather, two MC's, multiple dessert vendors, and Amanda handled it all. We can't thank her enough :)

    Excellent Point Person on a Busy Day

    I had the opportunity to work with Amanda as a vendor for a very large wedding recently. I was a guest at the wedding in addition to the cake baker, and Amanda made sure each detail was in place to ensure my set up was smooth and I could make it to the ceremony on time. She communicated clearly in the days leading up to the event, and was so friendly. I recommend her for any size event!

    Amanda is a queen!

    We could not have pulled off our special day without Amanda by our side! We had the month of package, and Amanda came through with whatever we missed. Amanda was available frequently, and didn't even mind that we planned our wedding entirely from out of state. She helped guide us with things we didn't know we even needed, and made sense of things that we were vague about. She helped to navigate our families wonderfully and keep the entire day running smoothly. Amanda never once appeared stressed or worried, and it totally helped to keep a great mood for the entire time. She was a real rock star --- everyone should book Colorfully Yours for their wedding!

    You were such an easy going and wonderful bride to work with, thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your day!
