Kristin Sent on 05/14/2024Absolutely necessary
Coming from someone who initially didn’t want to hire a planner… the Magical Moments crew was an absolutely necessary part of our planning and wedding day!!! We literally could not have done it without them. Amanda and Lora and Ava are amazing people to work with, and just to be around in general. We hired them as our day-of coordinators, but they consistently went above and beyond for us, attending meetings, coming up with creative ideas, and effectively communicating with all of our vendors and keeping everyone on track. When vendors weren’t getting back with us, and when things didn’t go as planned during the planning process, Magical Moments was there to save the day.
Our wedding party was a combined total of 16 people, and somehow Amanda was able to wrangle everyone and our ceremony started at 5pm sharp, as planned. Not a minute late.
Our wedding day flowed sooo smoothly and was an absolute dream from start to finish, and we owe it all to Magical Moments. You do not want to plan a wedding without them. -

Amanda and her team were AMAZING!! We were recommended Amanda from another couple and choosing to work with her was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process! She was so easy to communicate with and was available and approachable for every question both big and small! She never dismissed me for my questions and concerns and put all my stress at ease. On wedding day she was the calm to the chaos and I knew I didn't have to worry about a thing! Even when we forgot our wedding rings she calmly and quickly solved the problem and ran to get them. The entire wedding day I never had to worry because I knew Amanda had it all handled and was keeping the day on track. Her positive demeanor and attention to detail made everything run smoothly and I seriously couldn't imagine our day without her!! I could not recommend her more!! -

Amanda made my wedding day amazing. I truly would not have had the best wedding without her. Amanda coordinated with all my vendors, took care of any problems, and let me have the best day with no stress. I couldn’t recommend her enough -

Tom Sent on 01/08/2024Lora is an amazing wedding coordinator!
We decided to hire Lora a few months out from our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. I wish we hired her earlier! She went above and beyond what we expected from her. She has great connections in the industry and she also had deep knowledge about our particular Jewish traditions, which meant a lot to us. I can't recommend her enough! -

I hired a day of coordinator, but what I received was day of angels. These ladies work HARD. We met multiple times to get to know myself and now husband. She touched based with my vendors the week of and helped take a lot of tasks off my shoulders.
They really worked their magic the day of the wedding. Rain wasn't on the forecast, but it came. Before it was raining, Amanda started moving construction barrels so they wouldn't be in my shot as I walked down the aisle. She quickly figured out a solution to an indoor ceremony that was beautiful. I sincerely would have had an anxiety attack without Amanda and her team on my day. I became very thirsty before my ceremony, and she even offered her water bottle. Her talent really knows no limits.
Days after our wedding, I asked my husband what his favorite part was. Even though I spent hours on every single detail, his favorite detail of our wedding was the day of coordinator. If you are getting married, you NEED these girls. -

Booking Magical Moments for month-of coordination for my wedding was by far the best decision I made during the planning process. Technically our contract outlined that their services would be for the month of my wedding but Lora and Amanda went above and beyond and started organizing and helping at least 3 months out. It was so incredibly helpful to have Lora assist with all of the details, big and small, and help us know what to expect as I was the first to get married in my family. They also managed all of our RSVPs. Lora ran the entire rehearsal dinner with 20 people in the bridal party, 2 big families, and 4 kids so smoothly and helped us prepare for our wedding day. On wedding day, Lora took care of absolutely everything from the programs to the seat assignments to hanging the welcome sign. I didn't have to think about any of the smaller details and could enjoy every second of my wedding day thanks to Lora. I cannot recommend Magical Moments enough! We are so thankful for them and had the absolute best wedding thanks to Lora and Amanda! -

Amazing wedding day and stress less planning
The Magical Moments team was amazing. They introduced us to amazing people within our budget for floral and stationary. They went on site visits for the venue and ensured everything the venue showed us was within our price range. Lora always let me know when a payment was due and how much and who to so all vendors were happy. Magical Moments made the entire process seamless. And make sure that my partner and I were always happy with our decisions and received exactly what we wanted. We decided on the full planning with day of package and it was everything I needed. I would work with Magical Moments again with other big life events. -

Keith Sent on 06/08/2021Lora and Magical Moments Staff Did a Wonderful Job at Thomas/Giffin Wedding
Lora and her staff did a wonderful job as the day coordinator for the Thomas/Giffin wedding last Saturday at The Willows Garden in Indianapolis. Lora had extensive conversations with the Bride and the Bride's family before the ceremony which enabled Lora to create a detailed outline of all the day's activities. Lora coordinated the various wedding day activities including the pre-ceremony lineup and ceremony music with the DJ making my job as officiant much easier. Lora is very thorough and is easy to work with. -

Laken Sent on 12/16/2020Stress-free, fun wedding planning and perfect wedding day!
I cannot thank the team at Magical Moments for being such a big part of making our wedding day so special and perfect! Lora and Amanda were able to alleviate SO much stress, and make the entire planning process fun! You really don’t realize how many little details there are, but they have everything under control. Every time I thought of something to worry about, it was already handled. The MM team was able to bring my design vision to life, and had décor items we could use that came together beautifully. That was super important, as we wanted a beautiful ceremony and reception, but we needed to stay on budget. MM delivered! Covid-19 really made things crazy, but Lora and Amanda were on top of everything. Safety was top priority, while still making sure we had the best day of our lives! They were able to adjust our food service and help with last minute vendor changes. Anything we needed, they were there for us. Thank you, Magical Moments, for helping us have our dream wedding! -

Mallory Sent on 12/06/2020The Best Vendor to Hire!
Lora and Amanda are such an amazing team and were such a huge help in planning my wedding a couple months ago! My husband and I were engaged for nearly 2.5 years before we finally said I do and they kept us on track throughout the long engagement to make sure we were getting things done when we needed to. Our planning process was complicated not only by the pandemic but also the fact that we were planning everything from 2.5 hours north of our venue and the rest of our vendors. Lora and Amanda were always so quick to respond to emails and always made time for phone calls if there was just too much to discuss online. Prior to hiring them, we had already booked the venue but I was completely overwhelmed with the sheer number of options for the other vendors. It was such an enormous help having Lora and Amanda there to recommend vendors that they've worked with in the past and who fit what we were looking for on our special day. The day itself was perfect and if there were problems, we nor our parents or families ever knew about them nor had to deal with fixing them. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Magical Moments Event Planning! -

We hosted my daughter's wedding on our property. Magical Moments not only helped us plan but took care of all the details on the day of the wedding which was the best. I didn't have to run around like crazy making sure the details got worked out, instead I was able to enjoy this important day! -

Amanda with Magnificent Moments has been a pleasure to work with. Coming from a wedding planning background myself I was nervous and picky about who I hired but Amanda has been so helpful and very responsive. She gets back to you with any questions you may have very quick which was super important to me. She is very knowledgeable about the planning industry and is super nice. -

Amanda and Lora were seriously AMAZING!!!! So many couples I know decide to pick family members to coordinate the day and help decorate, which can result in a ton of chaos, as I've witnessed having use to photograph weddings in the past. I cannot tell you how happy and satisfied I was for hiring them. They literally took care of EVERYTHING. My family, parents, and friends all got to relax without having to run around making sure vendors were in communication and that the day was running smoothly. Since I hired their coordinator services only, I provided my own decorations and did most of the planning, and they made the venue look absolutely gorgeous as well as contacted all my vendors for me which took a ton of stress off my shoulders. I would definitely recommend their full planning service though. Planning was still pretty crazy doing it on my own and looking back I wish I would have bought the full planning package. I kept in contact with Amanda the most and we met once every 3 months or so to keep each other updated and she gave me so much advice throughout my planning at each meeting. As soon as I met with Amanda the first time, I knew I made the best decision ever. If you're like me and have a specific way of doing things then Magical Moments is the way to go. My day was absolutely perfect and I owe a lot of that to this company THANK YOU Amanda & Lora for making Mine and my Husband's day a dream come true. Everyone should Hire them -

Travis Sent on 11/02/2018Magical Moments
We can’t thank Amanda and Lora enough for all the hard work that they put into our wedding. We purchased the partial planning option along with their design and décor package. With the partial planning option we were allowed to pick and choose what vendors we wanted the planners to take care of, and what we could handle on our own, which was perfect for us. With Amanda and Lora’s guidance it made planning our wedding an enjoyable experience. They are very knowledgeable and experienced in Indianapolis and the surrounding area. They provided us with excellent recommendations for vendors which they had worked with previously. This was crucial for us, as neither of us were being native to Indianapolis.
During the wedding they were on top of every part of the schedule. Making sure people were where they needed to be at the right time, and making everything flow smoothly. They would even get us beer at the bar. We never felt nervous or stressed about any part/detail of the timeline throughout the day.
We have already recommended them to friends in the area and will continue to do so. -
Rachel Sent on 10/03/2018Magical Moments truly made everything magical for our big day. My now hisband asked when we were planning, “so why do we need wedding coordinators?” Well let me tell you he was the first to say how thankful he was to have Amanda and Lora there for us. They made everything so smooth and easy. From getting everything set up, to running out during our big day for allergy medicine when my bridesmaid had an allergic reaction to the hand soap (not kidding!) They tag teamed everything and at the end of the night, everyone from family to friends were able to just enjoy and jump in their cars and leave. Thank you ladies for everything!!!!

Marianne Sent on 01/08/2018I cannot say enough about the professionalism, creativity, and overall experience with Magical Moments. They are truly amazing from beginning to end. With their experience and all their contacts, they really made my daughters wedding very special and NO STRESS for me. This was my 3rd daughter getting married and I have never hired a wedding planner before. I am so glad that I finally realized the importance of a wedding planner! It was so nice the day of the wedding when people asked question after question and my response was: Go ask Lora/Amanda, they have all the answers - PRICELESS!! They made the day all about the bride and groom and always had things in control. I had several guests approach me afterwards asking me how to contact them.

Jaimie Sent on 11/22/2017This mother daughter duo were fantastic to work with. From my initial meeting with Amanda to the very end of the wedding she was right there supporting and guiding me along the way. Amanda has a very bubbly personality and the moment I met her I knew she was going to be our wedding planner. I felt very comfortable telling her what I liked and didn't like and she was very quick to provide guidance and recommendations based on my feedback. She and her mother Lora have great industry experience and were able to make multiple recommendations that fit exactly what I wanted. Their experience really ensured the vendors I chose were perfect for our big day and would help make our dreams come true. Although I was impressed throughout the entire process, the day of the wedding really blew me away. They both ensured the vendors knew exactly what to do and where to be and also ensured everyone in the wedding party was in the right spot at the right time. If I wanted any accommodations or if anything came up, they were right there to make it happen. Having their support and guidance along the way really made me feel like my family and I could enjoy our day. I wanted to ensure the wedding was as stress-free as possible for everyone and they truly made that happen. I can't thank them enough for making our big day so amazing!

Miriam Sent on 06/20/2022A Great Investment for a Stress-Free Wedding
At first we weren't sure if we wanted a wedding planner to be involved in our planning process (we at least wanted a day-of coordinator) but we are so glad we decided to work with Magical Moments Event Planning. When you pay for a wedding planner, you are paying to have a much less stressful and easier planning process. If you value peace of mind, the investment is worth it! It was such a relief to us and our families to not have to worry about the small logistical details during our wedding (for example, our wedding presents magically appeared in our car so we could simply leave when the night was over). Amanda was great to work with. She kept track of contracts, vendors, and our to-do list. She was honest but understanding of bumps we encountered. It was great to have a resource when we were having trouble or hit a wall. One reason we were hesitant to have a planner was because we had perhaps an "unconventional" vision in certain regards (at least to some) so we didn't want to be pushed to do something we didn't want to. Amanda really helped us develop and pursue a vision we were happy with. On our wedding day, it was so wonderful to see all our details finally pulled together! We are so grateful to have been able to work with the Magical Moments team. -
Anita Sent on 01/03/2018I want to preface that my wedding went very smoothly and things worked out in the end and that the Magical Moments team is a great day-of coordinator. The rating I am giving, though, is based on the full package that I selected which includes planning and décor. We hired the Magical Moments team about 15 months before our wedding so there was plenty of time built in to plan. Please see attached photo for full review.
Spent amount below includes wedding planning ($2150) and decorating costs ($2195) -
