Amanda is simply the best! We started working with her in early 2020 for our January 2021 wedding. We thought the world would have recovered from COVID by the time our wedding rolled around, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Amanda took the re-scheduling in stride and was able to move every single one of our vendors to our new date in November 2021. She was always two steps ahead of us with anything we would need to anticipate, and kept in contact with us through frequent emails, texts, calls, and Zoom meetings. Amanda has incredible connections with vendors in the Raleigh/Durham area - she always presented the best three options to us for each vendor type so we could pick what we liked, and then she set up all the meetings. She walked through every step of planning (twice!) and we loved each minute of working with her.

Beyond Amanda's connections and organization skills, she is so kind and personable. She was excited with us as we grew closer to our wedding, and really empathized with us through all the changing of plans. Despite her having many other clients, it always felt like we were a priority to her. We are forever thankful for her hard work. Our wedding was pulled off flawlessly, we couldn't have asked for more!

Amanda was an invaluable addition to not only our wedding day but the entire planning process. From day 1, it was evident that she knows exactly what she’s doing and how to put her skill set to work for what her clients envision. Amanda’s perfectly balanced professionalism and compassion allowed me to fully enjoy our wedding day. I hadn’t a care in the world because I knew she had our backs. I highly recommend her services…even if you think you don’t need any help with wedding planning and day of coordination.

Amanda was the best vendor that we had for our wedding day. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and communicates every step of the way. Her initial consultation gave us an excellent starting point for planning and provided us with realistic expectations based on our venues, timeline, and other logistical hurdles. She thinks of everything! On the wedding day, she was around from beginning to end and everything went so smoothly. She worked with our photographer and glam team to make the perfect timeline that even ended up ahead of schedule for most of the day. My family and I were able to sit back and be completely present. I would strongly recommend her to anyone getting married in the Durham area.

If you're looking for a wedding planner and/or coordinator, look no further than Amanda. She is simply the best.

We met Amanda in 2019 for the first time to meet about our (originally) summer 2020 wedding at Bay 7 in downtown Durham. She saw us through a complicated postponement towards the beginning of the pandemic and was able to reschedule in such a way that we could keep all the vendors we had booked. All of our vendors were excited to hear that Amanda was our planner because they know that she is a professional who knows how to pull off an event with a great attention to detail.

Amanda is incredibly organized and kept us and all our vendors on track. Many times I called or emailed her with a new concern I had just thought of, and she always had already seen around the corner and solved the issue. She coordinated between all our vendors flawlessly and the event was truly beyond our dreams.

Because of the postponement, we were wedding planning for about two years with Amanda and it feels weird to not have a reason to speak to her! She becomes a part of the family and we cannot recommend her enough.

Amanda is a PRO! She is an excellent communicator, and her knowledge of the industry was incredibly helpful. Many of the vendors we booked were recommended by her, and they were all amazing. Having her in our corner leading up to and during our wedding made us feel supported and allowed us to enjoy our day knowing that everything was taken care of. I also appreciated her positive attitude and willingness to help us pivot when needed. The day of the wedding, my mom was stressing about getting all the signatures for our marriage license, and Amanda arranged an impromptu photo opportunity with our minister and witnesses, relieving my mom of the stress and creating a beautiful memory for us! We’re grateful for her and highly recommend her!
