Melissa D. Sent on 04/21/2023Took away a lot of stress!
We are so happy we booked Amanda to do our month-of coordination. She gathered all information about our wedding about 6 weeks before, and jumped right in creating a detailed day-of timeline and contacting all of our vendors. She helped answer our questions and made sure everything was confirmed for day-of. On the actual day of our wedding, she did everything from help button my dress, manage timeline changes, gave us a quick ride from photos to our venue, and stood in the cold with a smile. We would have had a lot more stress without Amanda and Donna there to coordinate timing and make our day go smoothly. -

Beyond worth it!
Amanda and her team are amazing!!! My husband keeps saying to me that hiring them was the best decision of the wedding process. I think a lot of people underestimate how crucial a day-of coordinator really is- we truly cannot imagine how our day would have gone without Amanda and Veronica. They were always there to wrangle our bridal party, provide us with food and drinks, and help our day be a gigantic success. I cannot thank them enough!!

Amanda is the absolute best, we are so happy we hired her team for our wedding!
10/10 recommend Amanda and her team for all wedding planning/coordinating needs. We got married on 7/15/22 at The Breakers on the Ocean in Spring Lake, NJ and we hired Petite Planning Co. for the month-of wedding coordination. We were impressed and very happy with every detail of her wedding coordination from the check-in calls, the in-person venue walk through, her vendor communication, her seamless coordination of our wedding rehearsal, and every second of the wedding day. Our ceremony was DIY in a park and had a lot of moving parts with guest transportation but Amanda didn't miss a beat. She helped ease my mind and I was able to enjoy the entire day stress-free. The day of the wedding there wasn't one detail out of place or forgotten. She is punctual to every meeting, remembers each detail you tell her, and is truly a great person to have behind the scenes of your wedding day. Thank You Amanda and the Petite Planning Co. Team! -

Donna and the entire team at Petite Planning Company helped make my wedding flawless. Their communication was fantastic and kept everything running smoothly and stepping in to help wherever needed. I’m sure there are things that I didn’t have to think about because the team was there! From dealing with vendors to holding my flowers as I walked to take pictures, having them at my wedding was invaluable. Thank you all for helping give my husband and I a perfect wedding day! -

Amanda and her team (Jordan) we're incredible on my wedding day! There were so many random things that popped up the day of my wedding that they were a huge help with. It was raining on my wedding day and Amanda and Jordan did a great job keeping me and my groom dry, plus the bridal party. They were helpful with everything while getting ready, the ceremony and reception. They were amazing in helping us pack-up all our stuff at the end too and giving out the items we needed with us. I highly recommend them for your wedding day! -

After several consultations with other planners, we knew Petite was the one! We booked Amanda and her team early in our planning process; we had a vision but knew we would need expert guidance in making it all come to life. Petite always made things feel personal and not like we were just another project or a business transaction.
As a same sex couple, it was of most importance that the team we assembled was inclusive and experienced with LGBTQ+ weddings; we got our wish! We booked the “Month of Coordination” as it was the best fit for our needs; even with this being the case, Petite kept in touch before said time frame with reminders and helpful information.
Having decided not to have a bridal party, we needed someone to handle the wedding day operations completely. Amanda and Jordan provided complete leadership on our special day and worked beautifully with the vendors and venue. Their demeanor provided a great level of ease and comfort that made us feel relaxed, well, as relaxed as one can possibly be on your wedding day!
Petite exceeded all expectations, not only ours but all our guest’s! The day was truly magical, all pieces came together flawlessly on time and in accordance with the meticulous timeline they’d customed for us. We will forever be grateful!

Veronica K. Sent on 04/03/2022Exactly What I Needed!
For all the couples debating on hiring a day-of coordinator, this is your sign to go for it. I was on the fence, too, because I thought I could handle it all, but honestly, hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process. We clicked from our first phone call and I knew I was in good hands. She was the point person for all the vendors in the that crazy last month before the wedding. She designed a flawless timeline that worked perfectly for my day and she was there by my side every step of the way. She took care of everything leading up to the wedding, during the event, and afterwards. Amanda even saw me ask for a wedding card box on Facebook and offered me her own to use for the night! As a "type A" bride who found it hard to relinquish some of the day's responsibilities, Amanda was the coordinator I needed and I am so glad she was a part of my wedding and I am sure you will be thrilled to have her as a part of yours. -

Amanda B. Sent on 10/04/2021The best day of coordinator for your big day!
Amanda - or "Planmanda" as we affectionately refer to her - was hands down one of the most important vendors that we hired for our wedding. It's not an exaggeration to say that we couldn't have had our perfect wedding day without her. From the moment we spoke on our first call, we were impressed. She called us at the exact minute of our scheduled call! Her thoroughness, attention to detail, and encouragement really helped us throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, we had zero stress and nothing went wrong - or at least, nothing that we ever knew about! Amanda and her assistant Donna helped us through every aspect of our wedding day - finishing setup with our decor, coordinating timing for our first look, wedding party, and family photos, lining us up for the ceremony and entrances, making sure we had food and drink, and packing everything up at the end of the night. Our other vendors also told us how wonderful and helpful Amanda was. We would wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend hiring her for your wedding! You'll be so, so glad you did! Thank you so much, Amanda! -

Petite Planning is the BEST CHOICE
Amanda and her team were with me every step of the way with every question I needed answered. I booked her on the spot and have no regrets. She made sure every vision I had was put into place and made sure my dream wedding came true (even having to make changes with COVID) I couldn't have done it without her. I am grateful to have had her there for me on our special day. She made planning so much easier by reaching out to all my vendors and setting everything up for the day of. The wedding went perfectly because of the help from PETITE PLANNING. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING and going above and beyond. -

Amanda is a lifesaver!!
Hiring Amanda and her team for day-of coordination was HANDS DOWN the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. Amanda was technically my “day-of” coordinator, but she really was so much more than that. She jumped right in about 6 weeks prior to my wedding and made sure that everything that needed to be taken care of in those last few weeks was. She was organized, responsive, and I felt like she really took the time to get to know myself and my husband and understand the vision we had for our special day. She remembered the little details in our conversations and had great suggestions along the way. She attended our final details meeting with the venue and thought of questions to ask that I would’ve never thought to ask. The morning of my wedding, my bridesmaids and mom were joking with me while we were getting ready that they couldn’t believe how calm I was. When the hair & makeup team arrived, they even commented on how they don’t usually see brides this calm the morning of the wedding. I even surprised myself with how calm I was. This was truly all because of Amanda. She had my complete trust and made sure that everything was executed according to plan. I know people always say “things will go wrong”, but I can honestly say that the day was perfect and nothing went wrong (or, if it did, Amanda handled it and I never found out!). She anticipated our every need and because of her everyone involved in the wedding was able to sit back and enjoy every moment of the day.Petite Planning Company's reply:
Lindsay & Eric - Thank you SO much for being one of the easiest and most lovely couples to work with! I can't wait to see what life brings the both of you; I know it's going to continue to be a beautiful love story.
XO,
Amanda -

Bonnie Sent on 02/17/2023Bad Experience
After much consideration, we felt the need to write an honest review of our experience to provide couples with additional information as they decide on who they will hire for planning services. Writing this review brings me no pleasure, and I’m looking forward to simply moving on from this experience.
Although we signed up for full planning services in January/February 2022, virtually no planning occurred until August 2022. I sent a panicked email and a panicked text message in mid-July 2022, after not hearing anything for months. Not only did I not receive a response to those messages, my concerns were not acknowledged. I believe that planning actually took place because I scheduled weekly meetings, as I would not get a response or any progress unless an upcoming meeting was scheduled. Planning deadlines were routinely missed. We did not receive multiple quotes for each type of vendor as we were promised, but ended up being stuck with whatever vendor happened to be available last minute.
We were still planning major pieces and securing vendors right up until the day before the wedding. It was also clear from meetings and conversations with our DJ, photographer, and hair and makeup artist that they had not been advised of the schedule for the day. I had to scramble to get people on the same page. My emails and texts to the planning company continued to go unanswered even during the final week and while vendors were reaching out to me because their phone calls and emails likewise went unanswered.
I should not have had to work so hard for a service I paid for. Given the mix of recent 1 star reviews and 5 star reviews, it seems that some couples were prioritized and others were pushed to the back burner. And it seems that we were in the back burner category.
I never expected the wedding to go perfectly, but the number of issues that happened was tremendous. The day-of coordinators had little sense of what was supposed to happen with set up or the event. There was a complete lack of communication between the coordinators and the bridal party for which members had to be where and when for transportation, first look photos, and group photos, leaving us and our photographers having to work on the fly. The reception bore little resemblance to what we had discussed, despite my providing several sample pictures and our lengthy discussions. The entire day was riddled with problems that continuously required my attention. This left me utterly exhausted for the entire day. As a result, I was not able to just enjoy the experience and our family and friends, but was just trying to make it through the day.
The worst situation was the lack of accommodations provided for our guests with mobility issues, despite multiple conversations on this issue. The cocktail hour food was located up a flight of stairs that some guests could not climb. The company apparently booked an accessible bus for the entire bridal party for 8 hours, but instead we got an inaccessible party bus (complete with blaring music, club lights, and a stripper pole) to take maybe 10 people from the church to the reception less than a mile away. I was happy to pay quite a large sum of money to ensure our guests were comfortable and accommodated, but did not receive what I paid for.
We truly hope that this business turns around for the better and learns to better manage its services from feedback such as ours.
