Amy went above and beyond for our backyard, micro-wedding and somehow made us feel like we were ballin’ on a budget. From our very first consultation call, she instantly put me at ease. She’s calm, confident, and clearly a subject-matter expert with years of experience under her belt. She handled everything: coordinating with vendors, building our timeline, attending our rehearsal and even our “night-before” party to help with setup. Amy led with charisma and professionalism, turning our backyard into pure ‘earthy elegance’. When last-minute rain threatened the ceremony, she moved mountains getting tent sides delivered the morning of and even renting an extra tent for the DJ without missing a beat. Amy truly thought of every little detail. She just made things happen seamlessly and never once let me or my mom stress. She’s that rare mix of a commanding leader and calm problem-solver. I would hire her ten times over. If you’re lucky enough to book Amy, do it. She’s the reason our day was perfect.

Amy was a crucial piece for planning the wedding and day of coordination. She helped me with making sure I had everything that I needed. Made sure I checked off all the boxes. She was thorough, attentive, kind and made sure I wasn’t freaking out the day of my wedding. I can’t express enough how amazing she is. Thanks for everything Amy!!!
