There are truly not enough words to describe how much my husband and I loved working with Amanda. From the very first call with her (1 hr), I knew she was the planner for us. Planning a wedding is not easy, especially on a budget, and she made our year of planning so easy. Unlike other brides, I did not feel stressed because I was able to put my full trust in Amanda's recommendations and planning process. Amanda is kind, professional, assertive, and compassionate. She is the reason we had the best DAY or our lives. Amanda is truly special and we feel fortunate to have worked with her:) -

Amanda Goes Above & Beyond in Every Way!
Wow is all we can say! We were truly SO lucky that we met Amanda while touring our venue! Before we even booked her she gave us advice and knowledge to ease us into wedding planning! Amanda more than proved the first impression she made on us with how talented and caring she really is! Amanda genuinely cares about her couples and is on your side from day 1 every step of the way! She helped us assemble an all-star team of vendors, supported us instantly with any questions, and advocated for us and our vision all along the way! We felt more than confident on wedding day because we had Amanda! Everything ran smoothly and was executed flawlessly! Do yourself a favor and book Amanda because she will go above and beyond for you always & exceed your expectations! We love Amanda so much as a rockstar vendor and an incredible person! We are grateful she played a significant part in the best day of our lives!

Where do I even begin? From the moment I met Amanda, I felt as if I had been speaking with someone who I knew for a very long time. She definitely has a way to make a nervous bride feel at ease, no matter the occasion. As a bride who chose Saint Augustine as a destination wedding, I needed someone who was highly organized and responsive, and who could help me last-minute decisions at a moments notice. Amanda not only checked all the boxes but by far exceeded my expectations in her recommendations and in her guidance throughout the planning process. Not only does she know how to make a brides dream wedding come to life, she also has a special way of reminding you to capture all the special moments leading up to your day! -

Most amazing ever!
I was so thrilled you said yes to our NYE wedding. It was somewhat of a time crunch and yet you crushed it brilliantly! The attention to detail, understanding the vision as well as us and your effervescence are just some of the reasons you are such a beautiful soul. In translation, you are professional, diligent and a one of a kind creator and director. You were born to create stunning, romantic and whimsical moments in time. You did exactly this and more for Anthony and me and we are eternally grateful for giving us the best day ever. You are top notch! -

There are so many things to say about Amanda from start to finish. Within booking our venue and date, we had all of our vendors contract signed and booked by the end of the week. She had tons of recommendations and connections when it came to all vendors. She constantly made sure I was on track, anytime I had a question no matter what day or time it was, she answered. She is beyond professional and truly a master at event planning. She made everything so seamless and hands off for me. I never worried about a thing, she took care of it. She is the absolute best to work with and made wedding planning g fun which in my eyes, is the best of it all. She checked in constantly, especially 90 day, 60 day, 30 day etc. on the day of the wedding, I had 0 complaints. We were on the same page and she takes the time to really get to know her brides. Not just my planner but now a family friend. I would refer her to anyone and everyone. She’s the best in her class y’all! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her and when people compliment our wedding, all I can say is…..it’s because of Amanda. So Amanda, I love you and thank you so much. -

A million out of 10 experience!!
We couldn’t have asked for more from Amanda! She is organized, responsive, has great input & connections. She made wedding planning easy and fun. Amanda was always a call or text away for any questions that popped up. We were so so so happy with how our big day turned out. I honestly didn’t worry about the details because Amanda had them all lined up. Would recommend her a million times over!!! -

As a DJ in the wedding industry with COS Celebrations, I have had the pleasure of working with many wedding planners, and Events by Amanda truly stands out as one of the best in the business.
From the initial consultation to the big day, Amanda's professionalism and attention to detail were evident at every step of the planning process. She was always available to answer any questions I had and was quick to respond to any changes or concerns.
On the day of the wedding, Amanda's organization and coordination skills shone through. She made sure every aspect of the event ran smoothly, from the ceremony to the reception. Her ability to keep the timeline on track while still making sure everyone had a great time was truly impressive.
Overall, I cannot recommend Events by Amanda enough. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, Amanda is the one for you. She is truly a 5-star planner in every sense of the word! -

Christina Q. Sent on 03/06/2023Amanda is a godsend!
From the start, Amanda was informative, passionate, and honest. What impressed me most was her attentiveness and timely responses. When I left our initial meeting, she had reached out to vendors and gotten responses before I had even gotten home! I could text or call her at any and all hours of the night and she would respond almost immediately. She had wonderful vendor recommendations and plenty of experience to help me plan the wedding of my dreams!
When it came to the day of the wedding, Amanda blew all my expectations out of the water. Everything I had dreamt of was perfectly executed. I was in awe of the design of our wedding, the organization and the flow of the entire day. I did not worry for one second of my wedding day because I knew Amanda had everything taken care of and had thought through anything that could go wrong.
Amanda was made to be a wedding planner. She is warm and kind, while still being firm and determined when needed. I am not the best at decision making, so throughout the planning process I continued to say, "I trust you, Amanda!". I am so glad I did, and you should too. -

Positive vibes and Professional!!
My husband (eek) and I had a long engagement and I had beyond too much time researching wedding inspiration on social media. I saw there were two “main” wedding planners in NEFL and began following them. Amanda just really stood out because her posts were always positive, fun, and she genuinely seemed to love her job and seemed professional and a hard worker. I finally pulled the trigger and reached out and after an hour long free consultation call I did not hesitate to book her. She provided so many ideas for my dream wedding in our first call I was honestly surprised. Throughout the journey she called, texted, emailed and kept me on track. Being a busy working mom I really needed that! She was able to help me book all my other vendors I had been social media stalking and we met early on with my dream florist. I still don’t think I was prepared for the feeling I felt when seeing my reception room the night of my wedding, it exceeded my expectations and I was blown away. Since the wedding I have had so many people text me that it was the best wedding they have been to. We had a cigar roller, photo booth, and a ton of personal details that they said made the wedding stand out from others they had been to. It rained a few minutes right before the ceremony but Amanda some how handled that too and the whole night still went as planned. She does some very high end weddings and mine was on the lower end budget but she still made it look just like all her Insta pics :) the best part of the night is when my Husband (eek) and I were dancing and he told me the wedding was so awesome and he was so happy we had one and having all his family there, it was a really special evening for us all! -

The Best in the Biz!!!!
Two words…HIRE AMANDA! When I started planning my wedding 2 years ago I truly had no idea where to start. I had all these ideas and visions and just didn’t know how to execute! I found Amanda, filled out an inquiry and within an hour she called me! I knew right away that I needed her as my planner. Throughout the whole process she was so helpful and responsive. The monthly check-ins were amazing and kept me on track throughout the wedding planning process! Not to mention that she gave recommendations for the most fabulous vendors that fit right into our budget (my dad will forever adore her for that LOL). She listened to every vision I had and made every dream of mine come true. I had no idea how vital having her was until the day of our wedding! I seriously don’t know how she does it all! I had the most relaxing morning getting ready with my bridesmaids because I knew everything was in good hands with Amanda. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing the entire day! All of our guests, officiant, and family members loved her, she is so personable and just a genuinely sweet person. She wants the best for her clients and knows exactly what she’s doing. Our wedding was so magical and we loved every single minute, I know that was all thanks to Amanda. I will continue to sing her praises to anyone and everyone for years to come, she is the BEST in the business. We love you Amanda! -

Events by Amanda is the BEST!
There’s a reason why vendors and other brides refer to Amanda as the best in the industry….because she is!!! Her level of communication, energy, and commitment to us through out the planning process never wavered. You would never know she did 50 weddings in one year. We always felt like a priority. She took our vision of a fun and glamourous wedding and made it a reality. Amanda listened to what was most important to us. She made amazing vendor suggestions, so we had an all-star line up on our wedding day. There were many times I wanted to go rogue with the budget. She helped us prioritize and stay within a reasonable budget for the type of wedding we wanted. Our guest had an amazing time, but most importantly my husband and I had the best time of our lives. The day after our wedding my father mentioned how impressed he was with how smooth everything ran and that there was no drama. If there were any hiccups during our wedding, we were unaware. Simply put it was the most spectacular day of our lives! We are eternally grateful to have found Amanda. -

By far the best expense to our wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire her. Amanda immediately feels like your best friend and made our day possible. I didn't know the extreme of how much she really did the day of until it was happening. If she saw you move she immediately came up asking what you needed or better yet, she could read your mind and just show up with the drink that you were on the way to order for yourself. Amanda made all my stress go away and honestly I need her in my everyday life now! -

Where to start about Amanda. I cannot stress enough how vital of a role Amanda played in planning our wedding from day one. From Phenomenal suggestions on vendors, to monthly check ins even when I wasn’t the easiest to get a ahold of (work amirite). Extremely friendly, and outgoing she’s very easy to get a long with. Her true magic truly sparkled the week of the wedding. Wedding planned for a Saturday.. and a Florida Hurricane planned for Thursday. What?! A brides worst nightmare. Fear not! Amanda was there. She called me daily to keep me updated on venue and wedding situation and maintained a calmness that helped my sanity. Along comes Hurricane Ian and floods st Augustine under 3 feet of water. Miraculously the weather turns for the best, and wedding day arrives. When I tell you, it was the most perfect day, it was actually the most perfect day. Flawless from start to finish. If there was an issue on my wedding day, I couldn’t tell you because Amanda took care of everything. She made decisions exactly how I would have. If you’re looking for a planner stop your search here because she IS your girl. -

Amanda was so crucial to making our wedding possible! We came to her with nothing planned besides my dress and venue and she began making it all come together on the phone before we even had paid a deposit. In 3 months, she put together the most perfect day for us. She is incredibly knowledgeable of local vendors and really gets it all done QUICKLY. I am not a very strong planner so having her to remind me of various dates and keeping everything on track was so helpful. Amanda is not only super responsive and flexible but she is also a really fun person. I truly could not have asked for a better planner and will recommend her to all of my friends. Save yourself a whole lot of time and headache and just book Events by Amanda!!! -

As for the day of my wedding, EBA did everything! I had given her the boxes of everything that needed to be set out and Amanda and her team did such a beautiful job of making everything look perfect. Amanda made every aspect of the wedding move smoothly and my husband and I, and all of our guests, has such an amazing time! -

So thankful for Amanda
I am so happy that we had Amanda with us on our wedding day! We booked her day of coordination service and I am soooo thankful that we did. We seriously did not have to worry about a thing as she had everything taken care of for us and we had the most perfect day. Our April 2020 wedding was postponed due to the pandemic. Amanda was great pre-pandemic, then when we had to change plans and shrink our wedding she was amazing. She recommended new vendors and helped us pull off the most magical backyard wedding! She had great ideas I would never have thought of. She was always prompt in answering calls and texts. I 100% recommend her services! -

Amanda was an absolute godsend when it came to our wedding. After getting engaged our top priority was finding a planner that we trusted to make our wedding day perfect. Two minutes into my first meeting with Amanda, I knew she was our girl. We worked with Amanda from the beginning of our planning and she was accessible throughout the entire process, always making us feel like a priority. She is super organized, efficient, and professional. Whether through text, a phone call, FaceTime, or email, Amanda was always on her A-game. During our in-person meetings, Amanda was enthusiastic and totally got our "vision". She connected us with amazing vendors to turn that vision into reality. She took care of all the communication with the vendors and the venue which was a huge stress relief. Amanda did all the work behind the scenes which allowed us to fully enjoy planning the little details and special touches for the day. It is evident that Amanda is well-known and respected in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine wedding community. Everything went seamlessly on the day of the wedding and we owe it all to Amanda. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! -
