Wow! I cannot say enough about Amanda's help with the wedding. I started planning thinking a planner was just another expense that I didn't need on my plate but as everything started piling up and Mom started getting stressed about staying up all night tying flowers, I realized help might be a good idea. Amanda handled every hiccup with ease, and nothing seemed to frazzle her. She was the calming voice I need to keep from going Bridezilla. She had advice on things I hadn't even thought of and had problems handled that I didn't even hear about until a bridesmaid remarked how awesome my coordinator was for handling the situation. Amanda was above and beyond what I expected and I'll be using her for a bridal shower for a friend very soon!

Amanda did the best job for our wedding! She helped us figure out a budget, find great vendors, and even helped send out invitations. When she showed up to the rehearsal with a pretty timeline for everyone with addresses and phone numbers and her cell phone on it, I had no doubt things would be perfect and they were. Thank you Amanda for making sure our wedding was exactly how we hoped and imagined!

I really can’t say enough great things about Amanda Sackett and Ardent Engagements. Long story, short: Hire This Woman! She is the most professional, dedicated and organized person I have come across in a long time. Everything she did made planning our wedding easier and more enjoyable. She went above and beyond making inexpensive programs, timelines, ordered and picked up rentals, arranged flowers, and worked like a mule the day of our wedding to make sure everything went smoothly and wonderfully, even on my limited budget. She has an amazing work-ethic (probably from her time in the military) and has expertise with contracts (her other job). She was always available, and even though she lives in another town, I always felt she was there when I needed her. She is always positive, never disagreed with any of my ideas, always made me feel relaxed and less anxious, all the while keeping me on schedule without making me feel rushed. My fiancé and friends were all impressed with her professionalism and commitment. I cannot recommend her enough! She is AMAZING!

Amanda was AMAZING! We hired her for month of coordination, and she was incredibly helpful at every stage of the planning process. She made a special trip to visit my venue before the wedding so she could picture it and help me plan better. The day of the wedding she had an answer for every question and problem, and handled everything (and everyone) efficiently, professionally, and cheerfully. The fact that I can't tell you what problems Amanda solved is a testament to the fact that she solved them quickly, perfectly, and without worrying me (or my family) about them. I did not meet Amanda until the rehearsal, but I immediately felt like we were old friends. Amanda also helped my mother-in-law plan the rehearsal dinner, and my MIL was extraordinarily impressed with her as well. I would give Amanda 10 stars if I could - she was that wonderful!

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    While I think I do a little bit of everything, some of the most fun is in the odd jobs here and there. Planning a wedding start to finish is fantastic, but sometimes a busy bride just needs a hand building welcome baskets for out-of-town guests, addressing invites, or assembling favors. These brides are fun to work because it's such a reward to see the relief when you can even just make that small difference in a planning workload.

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    I recently volunteered my services to coordinate a military function and had no idea how much work I was in for - I'll take a full blown wedding any day! That being said, it was an amazing event that I handled advertisements, invitations, food, seating, programs, and a script for. This was great because I usually am coordinating another vendor handling these steps! The highlight was a uniform emergency where I lengthened someone's pants at the event to make sure they were in regulation - the look of gratitude was worth every stress and extra effort that jumped up during the day.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Make sure it's the proper fit. You will work very intimately with your wedding planner and the simple fact is that not all personalities always line up. That's okay! As planners, we want you to have the wedding day you envision and sometimes that means someone else may have a better angle.
