Our wedding day felt effortless in the best possible way, and that is entirely thanks to Paulina & team. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and the fact that there were zero issues or stressors throughout the day speaks volumes about how organized, professional, and thoughtful their team is behind the scenes.
One of our biggest goals for the wedding day was simply to be present - especially during cocktail hour and throughout the night in general. We did not want the day to feel like a blur where we were constantly being pulled in different directions, and they absolutely made that possible for us. We were able to genuinely enjoy nearly every moment of the day, spend meaningful time with our guests, and actually soak everything in without worrying about logistics or timelines.
They also helped us put together an incredible vendor team, and every recommendation exceeded expectations. Everything felt cohesive, well communicated, and genuinely tailored to the vibe we wanted for our wedding.
My parents primarily speak Spanish, and having Paulina who could communicate with them directly made such a difference. She made them feel comfortable, informed, and included throughout the entire process and on the wedding day itself, which meant so much to our family.
Beyond the logistics, the team was just wonderful to work with: responsive, calming, & kind. We absolutely recommend the MMW team to future couples. -

We got married in June of this year, so it’s taken us a few months to get to writing this review… but that’s not a reflection of our level of enthusiasm for Magnificent Moments and our amazing wedding planner Shelby. We have extremely busy lives and were planning a Charlotte wedding from Texas. Therefore, we knew that we needed a full wedding planner. We interviewed several different Charlotte-based wedding planning companies, but were most impressed with Shelby and knew that her vibe matched what we needed. We could not imagine our wedding journey without Shelby by our side. She kept us on track the whole time, was always available when we needed her, and would reach out to us when we got so busy with our schedules that we had not checked in with her. Shelby was always incredibly patient and understanding with us all along the way. There were a few things we were quite picky about, such as asking her for a lot of recommendations for photography/videography as we searched for the perfect one, and she knocked it out of the park providing us with so many fantastic vendor options that ultimately made our day so special. Every time we had a random or crazy idea, Shelby was down to figure out how it could be done and definitely had a “never hurts to try/ask” attitude that meshed so well with our wedding vision.
Just as the entire planning journey with Shelby was exceptionally smooth, we knew we could trust her to ensure that the big day would be as perfect as possible. We had countless obstacles come up that were out of our hands leading up to the wedding, but Shelby’s calm and solutions-focused demeanor was perfect in supporting us through them. Both she and her assistant Haley made sure everything went off without a hitch on the day of, and we have heard from countless guests and people within our wedding party who were impressed with how smooth our wedding schedule was. We have been to and been in weddings where it was clear that the planner/coordinator did not have all their ducks in a row, and it negatively impacted the experience of guests. We definitely give so much credit to Shelby for many of the compliments we are still getting about how fun our wedding was. She definitely helped make our dreams come true. We cannot recommend Shelby/MMW enough! -

Thank you, Kristen!
I can't say enough on how valuable Kristen was for us with the final wedding planning and the day of wedding coordination. Kristen was thoughtful, responsive and organized. She has a calming personality and patience. Both excellent qualities for such an important occasion. With a change in weather, we quickly had to make adjustments 30 minutes before guest arrived. The wedding ceremony, cocktail and reception went off seamlessly. As if there had been no last minute changes at all! We could not have done it without Kristen. We have no regrets in hiring Magnificent Moments for my daughter's wedding at The Mint Museum. Highly recommend. -

Magnificent Moments Weddings Made Planning a Wedding During COVID-19 Much Easier
Amanda, Shelby, and Brittni were very helpful in planning our wedding. We had a lot of issues, rescheduling due to COVID-19, and vendor issues, but they helped us resolve the issues we could. The whole team is professional and kind. I would recommend them to anyone. -

The best thing we have done in the wedding planning process is work with Joelle and Magnificent Moments Weddings. In the midst of a pandemic Joelle did everything she could to take stress off of us and keep the focus on what was important - our marriage. She handled rescheduling our vendors for our reception next year and planned/coordinated our intimate ceremony on our original date. It was truly above and beyond any expectations I had. They are the best and I feel thankful to have developed a relationship with this business and Joelle. -

Amanda Allsbrook and the Magnificent Moments team is the best! Amanda was very professional and extremely organized. It was the best investment ever. With only 5 months to plan, Amanda kept us on task, helped us stay on budget and made all of our dreams come true. She knew all of the vendors and made sure they met our expectations. Words cannot express how great they are! We are thinking of how we can work with her again in the very near future! -
Rachel Sent on 06/12/2018Brittni and Amanda are fantastic! I had several meetings with these two prior to my wedding day. They had great ideas and are super creative. My parents and I had so many questions during our initial and final walk-throughs of the venue but it wasn't a problem. Brittni was very responsive and willing to work hard to make sure my wedding day was perfect.

Stacy Sent on 11/28/2017My husband and I are both planners, by nature and profession, but we knew we needed a rockstar wedding planner to manage the biggest day of our lives and allow us to simply be the bride and groom. Living in NYC and not knowing Charlotte very well, we were fortunate to get a personal recommendation from my mom's neighbor who used Amanda for her daughter's wedding. After our first FaceTime chat with Amanda (thank you technology), we knew we were in great hands! In the months leading up to the wedding, Amanda asked all the right questions, kept us on track and reminded us of the little things we may have missed. She was thoughtful, thorough, professional, calm and always had a smile on her face. In turn, Amanda experienced her first Jewish wedding and was incredibly diligent and respectful of the different traditions. And after a slight shoe mishap, from now on she will always have heel protectors in her emergency kit! Thank you, Amanda, for playing such a pivotal part in our special day!

Jackie Sent on 11/22/2017Working with Amanda Allsbrook at Magnificent Moments Weddings was the reason my wedding and wedding season was a complete dream!
When I got engaged I was sure a wedding planner was a waste of money and unnecessary as I am task oriented and decently organized. However, Amanda came as a referral from a good friend and I travel 2-3 nights a week for my job so I thought it would be worth checking her out at least. From the moment my then fiancé and I met Amanda we knew we wanted to work with her. I remember the thoughtful questions she asked at the very first meeting and that same thoughtfulness and attention to detail remained a key trait of hers though the entire process. Working with Amanda leading up to the wedding was like working with a best friend. I never felt like we were "working" or questioned whether I could call or text her. She never made me feel like I was bothering her or asking too many stupid questions. She acted like the wedding was just as important to her as it was to me. And even though I knew she was coordinating a wedding almost every weekend I felt like my wedding was the only one she ever thought about! Amanda did so many special things for my fiancé and I during our wedding season to make us feel special that I felt like we had been friends forever. I cant imagine the amount of stress I would have felt not knowing she was looking after every detail. Planning for a wedding and being engaged is such a special and sweet time that only comes once in your life and I would not change one thing about having Amanda involved with us during that season.
Planning and leading up to the wedding was a blast with Amanda but the wedding day was even better! Of course like everyone says it was a complete blurr but everything went off without a hitch. There is no way I would have been able to organize all of those details on the day of the wedding and leading up to without MMW.
THANK YOU AMANDA AND TEAM AT MMW!!!! -

Carolina Sent on 10/09/2017I had just moved to Charlotte when I got engaged and was very nervous, not only about planning my wedding in general, but also in a city I knew nothing about! I wanted to use a wedding planner but was concerned about the cost of a full service planner, about staying within my budget, and about finding someone who could also be a reliable friend during the entire process. After talking with Amanda, I knew that she would be worth the investment. (And she was!!)
Amanda really took the time to get to know me and my fiance, our initial ideas, our likes and dislikes, and what was important to us. She made us both feel at ease and took away the anxieties we had about our engagement. To kick off planning, she came up with a design board and initial suggestions that were spot on with what I had envisioned. In each stage after that, Amanda focused my attention and energy on options that fit my style and budget so I never felt overwhelmed by too many options or too much information. She knew great vendors and locations and made fantastic suggestions for all of our needs. She also kept us on track with our timeline (which was also something I was nervous about) and used a really cool website to keep us in sync.
During the entire process, Amanda was easy to work with, proactive, prompt, creative, patient with all my questions, supportive of my decisions and ideas, encouraging when I was flustered or anxious, flexible with my hectic work schedule, and made the whole process so much better than it ever would have been on my own. My now husband, who works in operations, was also very impressed with Amanda's timeliness, responsiveness, professionalism, proactive solutions, knowledge base and connections in the city, understanding of our needs, ability to manage vendors and negotiate on our behalf, and focus on our values and priorities. He often said that if Amanda worked in his line of business, he'd hire her!!
I'm so thankful to Amanda for such an incredible wedding!! -

User2959390 Sent on 01/26/2017Amanda and her team were absolutely brilliant. We hired them for day of coordination and it was way more than I'd ever thought. At no point during the process was I worried or stressed about the timeline or where I'd be during the day. They plan all of it and help get everyone from point A to B. I'd rate then with six stars, but five is the limit. -

Caitie Sent on 01/01/2017I knew from the moment I got engaged that I needed a wedding planner because I am hopeless and could never have planned my wedding by myself. What can I say? Amanda was AMAZING. She went above and beyond and helped me think of things and remind me of things I never would have thought. Seriously!! She was hands down the best wedding planner and most wonderful human you will ever meet. On my wedding day, she was never far away to help the day run smoothly. For being fairly new to the industry, she is as professional and talented as someone who has been doing this for years and years. I can't say enough good things about Magnificent Moments and I highly recommend her and her business! -

Katrina Sent on 12/09/2015I had the pleasure of speaking with Amanda about our wedding for April of 2016 after she was VERY quick to respond. Immediately, I felt as if she was going to be PERFECT for what we were looking for. She was cheerful, energetic, excited and super easy to talk to. We were planning on using her day-of services, and even though we weren't hiring her for full-coordination, she still would contact me with ideas and questions. Sadly, the venue that we chose provided a coordinator with our all-inclusive package so it wasn't in our budget for both. I was most definitely looking forward to working with her and am jealous of anyone who gets to (haha). If you are looking for any kind of wedding coordination, chose Amanda at Magnificent Moments Weddings!!!
UPDATE: So, due to some last minute issues, my now husband and I decided to hire Amanda as our Day-of Coordinator. Living 10 hours away from our wedding site was proving to be extremely stressful, and Amanda took all of the stress away!! Our day could not have happened as smoothly as it did without her. She happily got everything sorted out for us and got us back on the right track. She is calm, organized and on top of EVERYTHING and always has a smile on her face. Her demeanor is exactly what every bride needs in order to take the stress and the nerves away. I couldn't imagine going through this day without her. She truly was a life-saver and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding coordinator. She will go above and beyond for you to make sure your day is as special as it is meant to be. Thank you so much, Amanda, for everything you have done for us!!
