    Took 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!!

    A wedding coordinator is the only way to ensure your day is perfect!

    We worked with Donna and Riley of Petite Planning Company and honestly, the day was perfect in great part because of them. Donna was helpful from the day I met her, took care of certain logistics without me even realizing, and updated my timeline with numerous changes and requests. When the day of my wedding arrived, Donna and Riley answered every question and handled every request, and dealt with issues without involving me unless they absolutely had to. They also handled mistakes by other vendors before I even knew something was off. If you are even slightly considering hiring a wedding coordinator, do it and go with them. Especially if you are picky and want every detail correct and taken care of. You will not be disappointed. Also most importantly, they were kind, patient, and thorough through the whole process. Thank you Petite Planning Company!!

    Amanda and her team really helped my wedding stay on time

    We were married on 8/6/2022 at the Manor in West Orange. Both our families are Filipino so it was always going to be a fairly big wedding (approximately 175) with a lot of people running late. We hired Amanda and her team for her Month of Coordination to make sure that everything ran on time. Amanda was available for virtual and telephone calls. She was always punctual for meetings and if she even thought there was a possibility of running late she would send a prompt text. When we had our consultation with her, we knew she was the coordinator for us after doing several consultations. She's friendly, organized, straightforward, reassuring, and punctual. She reached out to all our vendors the month of our wedding so we could relax and we only had to worry about fine details. She was also able to negotiate with my hair and makeup team so we could sleep in an extra hour. (There was 13 people getting hair and makeup done with 3 stylists) I was trying to do that for a while and was unable to do it myself. The extra sleep was appreciated.

    On the day of our wedding, we arrived early and was ready to go. She helped make sure we were on time and also assisted with calling out family members' names for those chaotic family pictures at the church. She made sure to distribute our tip envelopes the day of to all of our vendors. The team also helped set up our signage, set up our table cards and name cards, and all the little things that you need to do but forget about the day of. She made sure all of our vendors were fed and that we were fed during our cocktail hour. My dress was also falling apart shortly before walking down the aisle at the church. The team had safety pins and they worked with my MOH to create a safety pin chain to secure my dress until my mom could sew my dress back together during a break.

    We definitely recommend hiring her and her team!!! It was worth every penny. We didn't run late and we were able to actually enjoy our wedding. I've already personally recommended her to a co-worker who is engaged. She was so professional and helpful. You will not regret hiring her and her team!!!

    Petite Planning Company's reply:

    Myra & Lindell - thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your day!! Even with the craziness of the dress, it was such a perfect day! We can't wait to see what life brings you both!

    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!

    Must Have Vendor!

    When I started planning my wedding I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, as my venue provided a team as well. Needless to say, I am SO happy that I did! Amanda and her team at Petite Planning Co. were the perfect fit! Her and Veronica were there to make sure everything went as planned on our big day. Amanda creates a very detailed timeline, and coordinated with all vendors to make sure our day was seamless from start to finish! They did an amazing job putting up and breaking down my chuppah, repurposing florals from the ceremony to the reception, and packing up the bridal suite/my car at the end of the night. I did not have a single worry the whole day, as I knew Amanda and Veronica had it covered. Knowing this, I was truly able to enjoy my wedding and soak in every moment. Not only was Amanda extremely helpful and attentive on our wedding day, she also provided me support and advice leading up to it. Overall, we would recommend Amanda and her team to anyone looking for a wedding planner! You will not be disappointed!

    Amazing team and experience

    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!

    Invaluable!

    Hiring Petite Planning Company was the best decision we made for our wedding. Amanda took so much stress off of us as she worked seamlessly in the background with all of our vendors so that we could take a step back in the planning the month leading up to our wedding day. Peptic Planning Company coordinated all the site activities the day of, ensured all our details were in place, and executed the full day plan perfectly.

    We were the first wedding to take place at our venue and it therefore did not have all the infrastructure needed to support a wedding. In response to our situation, Amanda was incredibly thorough during her site visit and continuously brought solutions to the table as new challenges popped up during the venue preparation process. Her and her team were the best problem solvers for us. We so appreciated the level of care and responsiveness we received.

    With Amanda and Donna as our wedding coordinating team, we were genuinely able to be fully present on our wedding day. We had the most beautiful, fun, and memorable day that we are sure would not have been possible without Petite Planning Company. Don’t hesitate, book this team now!

    Huge day of help!

    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!

    Simply Wow, Petite Planning Company delivered!!!

    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!

    Exactly 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.

    The 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.

    You NEED Petite Planning Company at your wedding!

    Hiring Petite Planning Company was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. We hired them at the last minute because we were feeling super overwhelmed and were incredibly anxious about the day going smoothly. Amanda jumped right in to tie up all the loose ends with our vendors, made us a timeline, and allowed us to relax the two weeks leading up to our wedding. After talking to her we literally felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off our shoulders. We knew immediately we could trust her with all the details of our wedding. We had a pretty difficult venue to work with, but once we brought Amanda in we knew she would solve any problems that arose -- and she did! I truly could not imagine how the day would have gone with Petite Planning Company there. There were issues we didn't even know about until after because Amanda solved them before we even heard about them. She also kept my husband and me supplied with food and drinks throughout the night, and helped us step aside to take a quick break at exactly the moment we needed it. We also decided at the very last minute we wanted to hire a videographer, and Amanda found us a great one just a few days before the wedding. There is nothing she can't do! I couldn't recommend Amanda and team more highly.

    Best Day of Wedding Coordinator

    Petite Planning Company was truly a blessing to me and my now husband. We hired Amanda and her team vey close to our wedding day and Amanda went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect on the day of our wedding. We spoke on the phone at length about decor, dress, wedding party etc. She is very detail oriented like I am so it made me put my faith in her on one of the most important days of my life. From the moment she came to meet me the morning of the wedding I had every confidence that Amanda understood my vision and would bring it to fruition. We got married in a hurricane and Amanda made the necessary changes needed to move our wedding from outdoors to indoors. Our ceremony / cocktail hour and reception were in different buildings and Amanda helped me get from building to building while holding my wedding gown under my umbrella and getting soaked in the process. I could not have picked a better day of coordinator. She truly eased my anxiety and every detail that was important to me and my husband Amanda took care of and took the weight off of our shoulders. I highly recommend Petite Planning Company.

    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

    Biggest stress of my wedding

    My experience with Amanda was unfortunately the main stress of my entire wedding experience and probably my only regret. We hired her for month of coordination as well as partial planning. From the start, she was not very responsive. She sells you on "unlimited calls and texts" and "touchpoints throughout your wedding planning" but rarely even answers an email or text. We would email her asking for vendor recommendations and would never hear back.. I'd follow up 3-4 times and still, she did not do what we hired her to do. All the while, she was VERY active on Instagram.. she can post pretty pictures but she can't answer her paying customers. She would also tell us she was going to send over vendor recommendations and never did. I was going to let all of this go until our wedding month arrived. I again sent multiple emails asking about our timeline deadline (which she set herself and did not meet) and there was no response. She didn't complete the mandatory timeline for our videographer, causing them to reach out to me basically being like WTF. I was terrified that she wasn't even going to show up, which SHE DIDN'T. The night before my wedding, I received a text from Amanda that she was no longer coming and sending another person in her place (that would not even be staying the entire time). She also did not text my makeup artist until THE NIGHT BEFORE to go over timing. I had to wake bridesmaids up in the middle of the night (11pm) to tell them they had to be up earlier than expected because Amanda failed to do her job. She had told me a time that wasn't even approved by the vendor. When her replacement team arrived in the morning, they did not even introduce themselves to me. Other vendors were in the room with me and were APPALLED by their behavior and told me I should ask for a refund. When the lead coordinator left at 3pm, she didnt even say goodbye. Any question my mom or bridal party asked them, they didn't have an answer for and didn't try to find one. They would barely respond to me when I was trying to discuss decor with them. Since Amanda and I never had our"month-of kick off", they didn't know where to set certain things up. My card box was in a location no one could even find. Thank god for my photographer.. she basically stepped in as a coordinator for the entire day because Amanda's team was no where to be found. Amanda never even checked in with me after the wedding to see how things went without her. I truly have nothing positive to say about this experience. Please, for the love of god and sake of your wedding/stress levels, steer clear from this company. You will NOT get your money's worth. Working with Amanda will only add more anxiety and stress.

    Avoid at all costs

    Avoid at all costs. Luckily, we were in the early stages of planning when we hired Amanda (over a year from the date). She came to one on-site meeting with us where we all agreed to a plan. Amanda also said she would provide us with a vendor list. That was the last we saw or heard from her. We tried multiple means of communication to get in touch and we never heard from her. She did, however, keep posting on social media (and we did try to connect via Instagram too). Save your money and stress and go with someone else.

    I would NOT recommend

    My fiancé and I are in a key planning period for our wedding and Amanda has not responded to us in over 3 WEEKS!

    Our experience has been VERY disappointing. I would not recommend.

    We are currently trying to get our 1st payment back because of the terrible service we’ve received.

    Bad 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.
