Extraordinary Coordination and Planning Service!
Our wedding day was a dream come true, and we owe its success to our exceptional wedding coordinator, Amanda. We hired Amanda for both partial planning and day of coordination and it was honestly the best decision we could have made, especially planning a wedding in San Diego while we live in Florida.
From our very first meeting, Amanda demonstrated an unwavering commitment to turning our vision into reality. Her meticulous attention to detail, organizational skills, and boundless creativity were instrumental in making our special day absolutely perfect.
Amanda skillfully managed every aspect of our wedding, from coordinating with vendors to ensuring the timeline flowed seamlessly. Her ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace and a calm demeanor kept us stress-free.
What truly stood out was Amanda's dedication to understanding our unique style and preferences. She translated our ideas into a beautifully executed event that captured our personalities and love story.
The communication throughout the planning process was impeccable, and Amanda was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Her expertise in the wedding industry was evident, and her insights were invaluable.
On the big day, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing that Amanda had everything under control. Our guests were equally impressed with the flawless execution of the event.
We are immensely grateful for Amanda and her exceptional services. She turned our wedding day into a fairytale, and we couldn't have asked for a more supportive and talented coordinator. We wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.
Thank you, Amanda, for being the architect of our perfect day and for helping us create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Fei W. Sent on 10/08/2023Very Thoughtful; Best Service Ever!
Amanda and her assistant were amazing! They were very thoughtful and made sure that alll leftover decorations (and even the top layer of our wedding cake) were delivered to us after the event. They even made us a very cute instagram video right at the event using our walk-up song as the background music!! They gave us space during the event but also made sure to show up at the right place/time throughout the entire wedding.
I was very thankful that Amanda was ALWAYS on my side throughout the entire wedding planning. At the wedding rehearsal in front of all my wedding parties, she reinterated several times "don't forget to smile because we don't want to ruin the thousands dollars of photographer money". I LOVE HER FOR THAT. That is something that I never wanted to bring up in front of my bridesmaids but she chose to become the "bad guy".
Overall, I highly recommend Amanda and her service!! -

Exceptional and beyond my expectations!
Amanda is a BOSS! She went above and beyond for us from start to finish. First off, she helped us find our perfect venue in Desert Hot Springs when we really had no idea what we wanted. She got to know us from our likes/dislikes, personality styles, with her own creative flare and suggestions, and most importantly was always transparent with us regarding everything you can imagine (clothing, decor, weather, dress, shoes, suits, photography, vendors, pricing, florals, music, you name it!). She corresponded not only with other vendors, but anyone/anything involved in our wedding plans which took a load of tasks off our already busy plate. I never had to question her professionalism or if she would getting anything done for us. I trust her whole heartedly and she is a wonderful, knowledgeable, creative, hip, human! She also advised me on how to communicate with other professionals in the industry to make the best and most wise decision. She answered texts/calls practically immediately, even while she was on vacation out of the country.
I had a horrible experience with the bridal shop, Here Comes The Bride, which Amanda told me "I wish I would've known you planned to look for a dress there as I would have told you not to." I selected this store to look for my wedding dress because they allowed for a large group to accompany me on that special day to pick one out. PLEASE, STAY AWAY FROM HERE COMES THE BRIDE! They were not transparent with me regarding my dress arrival, it arrived two weeks before my wedding DAMAGED and it would not have been ready in time for my wedding day. Amanda not only supported me in navigating solutions, she hopped in the car and came with me to the store twice, to demands answers. She was not going to leave the store without one. She also came with me to pick out a backup dress last minute at LUV Bridal.
My fiance and I ultimately chose a "micro wedding" at a venue that has their own coordinator and vendors so technically, Amanda could no longer be involved in the "day of" wedding planning but that did not end her services. She has artistically created several designs for our seating chart, table numbers, signature drink (she put our cat and dog phots into an artsy menu), etc. But literally on the spot she had it done, no longer than a couple hours.
I am beyond impressed and incredibly grateful to have had her be my wedding planner and hopefully long time friend. I love you, Amanda! You Rock Sauce!!! -

I loved working with Amanda so much! She made the day of and everything leading up to the wedding so easy. We hired her as our day of coordinator but she also provided us with a timeline of when things needed to be done beforehand and had a great list of vendor recommendations. Our wedding day went so smoothly and that is all thanks to Amanda. -

Brandon K. Sent on 01/03/2023Amanda was so helpful and made our wedding day so easy
I found Amanda about 10 months before our wedding. I had was about as clueless as could be going into all of this. Amanda helped us out and then some. She went far above and beyond what we thought a "Day of coordinator" would do. We met with her many many times throughout the months leading up to the wedding, we were in constant communication over the course of the 10 months. She would check in with us to help us plan things and make sure we were on the right track. The day of the wedding she was amazing, she helped decorate with our mothers and grandparents and the venue looked incredible. She helped make one of the most stressful days of your life, happen effortlessly. Amanda is awesome, 10/10 would recommend! -

Amanda is the best!
We found Amanda on Wedding Wire and we are so thankful we did!!! Our initial chat with Amanda was to understand her services and our needs and how she can best make our day run smoothly. We had just shy of 10 months to plan our wedding & knew that we wanted a Day of Coordinator since we live in the bay area but were getting married in SD. Amanda was all hands on deck from day 0!!! Upon hiring Amanda, we had an initial meeting where she laid out a timeline with homework on check points to ensure that we are running to speed towards our big day. She continued to have monthly check in meetings with us to see our progress and was also available over email and text whenever we had a question or needed some guidance/professional opinion! Amanda was so easy to work with and communicate with - & made planning our wedding as stress free as possible. She even reviewed all our vendor contracts to ensure nothing looks funky prior to us signing anything!! She also had a list of preferred vendors for us to utilize if needed.
Leading into the month of our wedding, Amanda took over as point of contact for all our vendors & ensured all final details were ticked and tied. The day of our wedding went COMPLETELY SMOOTHLY, even when tiny hiccups happened, Amanda and her team pulled through and alleviated any stress or crisis leaving both bride and groom staying present and in the moment on our big day! She even had a full game plan on how to get our dog Rosko back to our hotel suite after the ceremony (where he was our ring bearer) so that we didn't have to worry who was going to watch him at the reception!!!
We loved having her on our big day and throughout our planning process. Whether you are looking for a full planner or a day of coordinator, we highly HIGHLY recommend Amanda, SHE IS THE BEST!!!! -

We are so grateful for all that Amanda did to help plan and coordinate our wedding!! We had a lot of moving parts, and Amanda kept us organized from start to finish. She respected our vision while also offering recommendations, and as a result our wedding turned out even better than we pictured it would be! Our family and friends had a blast, and we were able to enjoy the day without stress knowing that Amanda had everything taken care of. Amanda was also very flexible in the planning process and was able to accommodate our odd work hours to minimize any conflicts or stress. We are beyond grateful for everything Amanda did to make our day special and highly recommend her. -

We are so glad that we booked Amanda for help executing my design ideas and as our day of coordinator! She made sure our day went smoothly and everything was set up beautifully! She was there to answer my panicked calls throughout the planning process, and helped to keep my emotions calm and tackle every obstacle that came our way. When our original wedding date had to move a week before the wedding due to Covid, Amanda reassured me that everything would be fine and offered assistance in making sure everything was set for our new date!
The day of the wedding went so smoothly and we had the absolute BEST time! If there were any problems, I never knew of them, which helped for a stress free wedding day! Upon clean up, my vases I had purchased somehow got left behind. Amanda was kind enough to go above and beyond by picking them up from the venue and shipping them out to me while I was on my honeymoon! I could not have been more thankful!!! -

T Ching Sent on 10/05/2021We could not have done it without Amanda!
Amanda was recommended to me by my hairdresser. I was the mother of the bride. We jumped into planning just as large events were again being allowed following Covid vaccine availability, just 6 months before the wedding. We wanted to do some of the planning tasks ourselves and she provided a preferred vendor list, and guidance on cost, prioritization, etc. Her connections with the vendors helped with our negotiation of prices. My daughter tends to procrastinate and Amanda gently but firmly kept her on track, which also avoided tension between my daughter and I so we could enjoy the process together more. On the day of the wedding Amanda and her team set up the venue and coordinated all the vendors. We didn’t have to worry about anything and the wedding turned out perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda. She is the best! -

Amanda worked extremely hard for us. She pushed our procrastinator selves to meet the needed timelines, helped us find our venue and other incredible vendors to work with for food, flowers, and photography, and was constantly doing little things throughout the day of the event itself to ensure everything went smoothly. One of my friends even said that Amanda walked up to her while she was sitting down to ask if she was ok. My friend said yes, just taking a break from my heels…and Amanda brought her an extra pair of flats so she could get back on the dance floor! Our wedding went so smoothly that we were able to focus only on having a great time, and we definitely have Amanda to thank for that. -

Life saver!
Amanda was absolutely incredible! She was hired a month before the wedding after having a falling out with our original planner, she came in and immediately took charge and got things done that still needed to be completed. Day of the wedding she was an absolute rock star, she was able to create the vision I had in my head and make it even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am so incredibly glad that I found her and she was there for our wedding day to make it all come together and be fabulous! I cannot recommend her enough to anyone that is in need! -

Amanda was the best choice we made in our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I live in Texas and were wanting to have our vow renewal in San Diego. She made the entire process seamlessly easy, to include still coordinating and keeping me in the loop while I was deployed in Afghanistan. The year spent planning our vow renewal with her leading made the day of exceptionally beautiful. She listened to every detail and vision that we wanted, offered her expertise suggestions to better improve our vision. She advocated for us when speaking with other vendors to ensure we were receiving the utmost support and overall execution for the day of. Thank you Amanda for pouring your passion into our special day! -

Kate Sent on 07/20/2021The absolute BEST.
Hiring Amanda as our wedding planner and day of coordinator was the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding day.
From start to finish, everything was a dream. She was realistic regarding our budget and helped to creatively curate our vision of a 1920s beach chic wedding in La Jolla Village.
You can really tell how much she loves her job and puts her heart into making people’s wedding dreams come true. She attended to so many details I would have never seen/or known of-like textures and color palettes of table linen, flower combinations in the bouquets, and making sure the website and invitations had every detail for the wedding to lessen the texts/calls leading up to the day.
Her knowledge of the vendorstook a huge burden off of us, and each vendor went above and beyond our expectations as well-quality attracts quality!
The day of our wedding flew by, but because she was there to help, everyone was taken care of and everything was handled flawlessly. Her timeline helped us to know where we needed to be, and because she was so organized, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our wedding as we wanted. I sincerely recommend hiring Amanda, her talent and caring will make your most special day exquisite!
We love you Amanda! -
