Amanda Paige Events

more help than we expected. Taylor checked in with us at regular intervals to keep us on track throughout the year-long planning process, and even provided many resources and templates for us to use throughout, as we were picking vendors and planning the details ourselves. On the day itself, we were more than confident to let Taylor handle coordination of everything at the venue, while Annie was on-hand to assist us at the hotel as we got ready and started with photos and video. The team was extremely professional and friendly, as well as amazing communicators. They know what they're doing, and covered everything we didn't even think of, such as getting all our decor items (including misplaced photo booth strips) back to our hotel room at the end of the night.

nal Indian wedding for 350–400 guests felt overwhelming until I met Amanda. I know I wasn’t the easiest bride, and our families didn’t make it easier either—but Amanda handled everything with so much patience and a “never say no” attitude. Want an ice cream cart to close out the Sangeet? Done. A cocktail-style breakfast where everyone was seated in time for my walk down the aisle? Done. Hundreds of hand-cut butterflies for my dream escort card display (perfectly alphabetized, no less)? Done. Cocktail hour on the roof? Done. Make the rain forecast magically disappear? I’m convinced that was Amanda and her team too. Amanda, I know our wedding was a journey and that there were inevitable bumps along the way, but I will never stop being grateful for you. You and your team are the reason every guest told us our wedding “set the bar really high.” Special shoutout to Annie for being a total rockstar, too! If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, trust me, you want Amanda in your corner.

were on track. The interval check-ins were so helpful and APE's organization the day of helped me to relax and let someone else handle the details so I could enjoy the day. We had a few minor issues the day of, some of which we didn't even know about because APE handle them before we even found out about them. As an example, when we realized our vendor didn't deliver whiskey, Amanda went out and purchased and delivered whiskey within 15 minutes. They were also so helpful in corralling family/friends and telling them what to do so we didn't have to. They kept us on track during a busy day, but also let us know that it was our day and we could take time where we wanted it. They also handled tasks that I hadn’t even thought of that were beyond helpful, like delivering our change of outfits, jewelry, wedding gifts to our room before the end of the night so we could walk out without 1000 things in our hands which was so nice! Can't recommend enough if you are looking for a highly organized and knowledgable coordinator!

dding coordinator. From the moment she stepped in, everything felt calm, organized, and completely under control. She handled every detail behind the scenes so flawlessly that we were able to fully enjoy our day without a single worry. From managing the timeline, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring our decor was set up exactly how we envisioned, Camille did an amazing job. She kept everything running smoothly, gracefully handled any last-minute changes, and was always one step ahead. Her presence allowed us, our families, and our wedding party to truly be in the moment. Camille was an absolute lifesaver and a huge part of why our wedding was everything we dreamed of.

I definitely want to give a big shoutout to Amanda herself, who was the first one to take the time to meet with us and determine our needs, as well as to match us with our team. I cannot emphasize enough how much Mimi was exactly the person for us, and Amanda seemed to know that from our very first chat. We had meetings every few months just to make sure we were tracking accordingly on big picture items, and the team was available for any questions we had. Most of us have never done this before... so it's really nice to be able to lean on someone who has. My partner and I are not local to Chicago, so it was also vital that we had someone on the ground. Mimi had thoughts on vendors that she was able to share, and was able to stand in for us when other vendors absolutely needed someone on site. Being able to trust the timeline and management of moving our group around to Mimi (and Kate!) allowed us to stay focused and relaxed, while also allowing the wedding party and our families to enjoy themselves and not be in coordination mode. We would trust Amanda Paige Events with our event a thousand times over!

and her team were involved well in advance and provided steady, thoughtful guidance throughout the entire planning process. They were incredibly organized and proactive, making sure every detail was handled so we didn’t have to stress. Just as importantly, they were warm, fun, and genuinely enjoyable to work with—having them around added to the positive energy of the day. Everything felt completely seamless thanks to their behind-the-scenes work, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment and focus on celebrating. One standout example: when Amanda noticed my feet were hurting during the reception, she went back to the hotel to grab my sneakers—above and beyond in every way. We’re so grateful to Amanda and the whole APE team. The day was everything we hoped for, and their support played a huge role in making it happen. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

ryone on her team was so kind and thoughtful. Beyond all of that, Amanda truly felt like a friend and we were so sad to see her go after our wedding. I truly cannot imagine planning a wedding without her!

ized and helpful throughout the planning process. Annie and Shaleen were both such attentive and responsive coordinators reaching out to all our vendors leading up to the day and always took the most detailed notes during our planning meetings. Amanda ensured our wedding went on as seamlessly as possible! She ensured all our decor was set up for cocktail hour and reception and also handled our card box - little things you don’t typically think about nor want to think about your wedding day. Her expertise is evident and you can tell she also genuinely cares about all her couples. One of my bridesmaids was unable to attend the wedding last minute due to health issues, and Amanda made it a priority (on an already hectic wedding day!) to make sure she still received her bridesmaid bouquet at the hospital. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, do not hesitate and hire APE and you will have a guaranteed perfect wedding planning experience and day :)

ys came very prepared to our meetings and kept everything moving and on track. She was also very accessible and helped answer all our many questions that popped up along the way. Her vendor recommendations were all outstanding - we were so happy with how everything turned out on our wedding day and that was mostly due to the amazing efforts by the APE team and all our vendors' incredible talent and passion for what they do. We also were so amazed by the creativity and design from Amanda - She helped us put together a vision board based on our conversations and inspiration photos and contributed great ideas that really enhanced the overall look and feel of our wedding. She supported our vision and helped bring it to life and made it even better than we could have imagined. She designed our save-the-dates, invitations, menus, cocktail napkins, signature drink sign, seating chart, and rehearsal dinner sign - all of which were thoughtfully and beautifully put together. This also took so much off our plates leading up to the wedding, allowing us to really focus on the excitement and celebration of our wedding. Overall, we are so happy with the services from Amanda and her team and consider her a lifelong friend - Cannot recommend her and her team enough!!

ld highly recommend them!

feel like they could bring our vision to life. Beyond that everyone on the team is very knowledgeable about Chicago area weddings and they were able to provide excellent suggestions for vendors at varied pricing levels and expertise.

ly dedicated to our wedding and I got just that with Amanda. Amanda made the wedding planning process effortless and fun! From our initial meeting through our wedding day, Amanda was supportive, detail-oriented, and enthusiastic. Amanda and her team executed to perfection an amazing day that went by far too quickly. If there were any issues, I was blissfully unaware because Amanda, Taylor, and Annie were on-site to handle everything. Furthermore, Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable and has a strong network of every possible wedding vendor you will need for your wedding day! Because of this and her natural ability to understand you as a bride, a couple, and your vision, she is spot on with her vendor recommendations. We didn’t have to interview multiple vendors because more often than not, the first ones she recommended were the vendors we loved and selected. With vendors and design, Amanda advocates for your vision and empowers you to confidently make the right decisions so you get exactly what you’re dreaming of. Amanda also helped design our day-of stationary and welcome bag inserts, seamlessly matching it to our invites. Not only does she design beautiful weddings, but she is also a master at Canva. She does it all! We are so grateful to Amanda for helping us plan our dream wedding in our favorite city. We would absolutely recommend Amanda and her team! She made the wedding planning process seamless, approachable, and easy!

d finalized our venue, Amanda and her team were there for us. I was searching for a planner who could guide us through the process while allowing our creativity and unique ideas to shine. Amanda not only understood this but also expertly managed all the stressful coordination with vendors and day-of responsibilities. Her presence was reassuring every step of the way, making me feel supported like a sister orchestrating my dream wedding. Amanda effortlessly understood my preferences and dislikes, intuitively knowing which vendors would align with our vision. She anticipated and addressed issues before they even came to my attention. For instance, on our wedding day, there was a potential crisis that would have resulted in us having ZERO chairs for the ceremony or reception. Amanda resolved it swiftly, ensuring that my husband and I enjoyed a flawless day without any stress. I genuinely cannot imagine navigating the wedding planning journey without Amanda and her exceptional team. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of her expertise and dedication.

ctual wedding day. We appreciate all of your support coordinating all of the vendors and making sure our crazy family was where they needed to be. It was such a pleasure working with you and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

. Coming from a VERY TYPE A bride, and knowing how Type A Amanda is, I had no doubt my wedding day would go off without a hitch. I chose the wedding coordination with an assosciate, but I still worked very closely with Amanda herself throughout the whole process. She was on every zoom call, and every email we had. Amanda and I communicated often via text, and she was there to answer any and all questions I had. Annie was responsive to emails, especially leading up to the week of. On my venue walk through Mimi was there, and really answered all my questions when it came to the timeline of the day, and where things should go. On the day of, I had the absolute honor of having Mimi and Annie there. I wouldnt of survived without them. I could cry just thinking of the day with them. Our ceremony called for rain, and it did in fact rain, but Mimi and Annie were in CONSTANT communication with my venue making sure we could wait until the very last moment to make the rain call. They eased any and all anxiety. They were there to hold my bag, my phone, make sure all the gentlemen were on schedule, and made sure the day was on time. During cocktail hour and reception, they were constantly checking on us, making sure we were all good. They were the keeper of all gifts, cards and wedding decor and made sure all of it got safely to our room at the end of the night. My husband and I look back and truly think the day would not have been what it was without them. There were no issues, or messups, at least to my knowledge, and if there were, they handled them without disrupting the bride or groom. I truly feel like APE is family to us now, and I look forward to seeing them again at my best friends wedding in September. Look no further for a wedding planner, because APE is where its at!

nd beyond and truly feel like friends by the time your wedding comes. Amanda is the best hype-woman and planning wizard out there!

vendor suggestions & guides, numerous planning excels, and regular catch-up meetings. I know we were one of a cohort of Katie&Matts working with APE this year, and not even the only wedding on our date, but I felt like their most VIP client the whole time. If you have more of an ideal vibe than a clear vision, use excel as a hobby, and/or love checking things off a list without actually doing any work, APE is absolutely the right choice for you.

was honest, available and thorough every time we communicated with her. Her organizational techniques and attention to detail kept us on track and ensured that we were able to enjoy our day stress free. As a type A bride I will honestly admit that I could not have pulled off planning my dream wedding without Amanda's help. We were always able to get in touch with her directly if we needed anything and she was available for our walk through and rehearsal dinner to make sure everything was covered prior to the big day. Her deep expertise helped us to establish a great timeline that was realistic and allowed us enough downtime to truly enjoy ourselves. On our wedding day she handled everything! She popped in on all of the groups getting ready at multiple locations, got all of our decorations out of our apartment and set up flawlessly at the venue and made sure everything was packaged up and back at our hotel at the end of the night. On the morning of our wedding day, she was quick on her feet to take advantage of a better opportunity/photo spot for our first looks and was able to coordinate the slight change of plans with all of the vendors to execute it seamlessly. She always supported our vision and encouraged us to make our wedding day our own while still providing guidance where she thought she could enhance the plan. I would not hesitate for even a second to recommend her services to any of my family and friends, as her services were everything we could have hoped for and more! I wish we had booked her sooner :)

boxes, and Amanda even went the extra mile to design our invitation suite and matching ceremony programs for us. Truly five star service! On the big day, Annie and her team kept everyone stress free and seamlessly executed on the timeline and with all vendors! We cannot recommend them enough!

stics management. My husband and I had a very complex Indian fusion wedding, including a sangeet on Friday night, two different ceremonies Saturday (Indian and Western), followed by dinner and dancing Saturday night. Everything went off absolutely flawlessly thanks to Amanda’s attention to detail, planning, and strong vendor relationships - Vendor selection. Amanda introduced us to a variety of vendors who not only matched our vision and fit within our budget, but also had personalities and styles that totally meshed with ours. She helped us create an amazing team that we were thrilled to celebrate our big day with. - Creativity in 2 dimensions. First, Amanda has great graphic design skills. She designed our invitations, menus, signage, etc. that were all so beautiful, we had friends asking what designer we used! Second, Amanda knows how to flex a budget and come up with creative ideas to deliver on a vision while staying within bounds (example - she decorated the venue for our 160-person welcome party, complete with fresh flowers, for a fraction of the price of a professional florist). - Passion for her business and her clients. A big part of why our wedding was so great was because Amanda and her team poured their whole selves into it. They over-delivered on our contract and invested so much into their relationship with us. Through this process, we gained not just a great planner team but great friends too! It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for the APE team. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone getting married soon!

a great listener and knew how to walk us through the process to get everything we wanted. We also had Hannah on the day of the wedding and she was super helpful and a pleasure to work with. Amanda and her team helped us throw the perfect wedding and we can't recommend them enough.

e considering if you should invest in a coordinator, you absolutely should. Amanda recommended the best vendors. She has an incredible relationship with her vendor team, and she listened to our concerns about budget and made great suggestions to help us stay within a range we were comfortable in. I truly believe finding Amanda was meant to be. She was an integral part of our wedding planning process, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s an incredible asset and someone you want on your team to help make sure your big day is perfect 😊

ill. First of all, there was no transition from Amanda to our other coordinator - I was told I was scheduling our final meetings with Amanda but when I showed up to them she wasn’t there. I had to remind the coordinator to reach out to certain vendors to finalize the timeline and was being asked to fill out information from the coordinator the week of my wedding, something that could have been done months before. The real issues came the day of the wedding when we not only had issues with our coordinator but the 2nd assistant that we were supposed to have did not show up. Throughout the wedding day I had to be constantly be asking if things were getting done when they weren’t, my family had to step up and direct vendors, and set up decor, and I received some of my vendors tips back at the end of the night because they never got distributed to my vendors. My the biggest issue came when the coordinator LOST OUR WEDDING RINGS. She did not know where she had left them causing our ceremony to be majorly delayed which caused us to not only delay things for our guests but also lose time with our other vendors that I was paying for. Luckily my bridesmaid found them on the floor right before we were about to walk down the aisle and use our friends rings as placeholders. While I received a slight refund for the lack of the 2nd assistant, no refund or apology was made for all of the other issues that our coordinator from APE caused on our wedding day. While I had a good experience with Amanda prior to my wedding, I can’t recommend other brides work with them as it’s clear the other team members don’t have to same level of experience

to us. During the planning process, our calls with our coordinator were sweet and encouraging. Unfortunately, though, our coordinator overall lacked the proactiveness and attention to detail to execute many of the services that were expected of her both leading up to the wedding day as well as the day of. This included not sending the timeline to all of the vendors and not responding to emails from us (we had to switch our primary form of communication to text messages). She did not tell us when she would arrive on the morning of the wedding day which caused unnecessary anxiety and then did not arrive until 4 hours after the bridal party started getting ready. She arrived along with three of our vendors which caused chaos. Our coordinator didn't provide corsages to those who should've received them and also improperly distributed tips resulting in money being paid that should not have been. These are only a few of the many issues that we faced. I think the lead planner (Amanda) was excellent to work with. Amanda helped us find a new photographer within a month of our wedding day after our first photographer unexpectedly was unavailable. Unless you plan to work with her directly, I would look elsewhere for planning/coordination services.

long friends & cannot say enough positive things about them. Start to finish, nothing but perfection!

well known planners in the Chicago area, but no one else gave me nearly as much of a reassuring vibe as Amanda did. We didn't know what we were doing, and she reassured us that she'd help us every step of the way and honor our budget. She also seemed genuinely excited to work with us, whereas other planners gave off a more pretentious vibe, as if we should be excited to work with them. We really didn't have a solid vision from the get go, and Amanda was quintessential in helping us cultivate our vision for an elevated Chicago-themed big day. (And nailed it, might I add!) She listened to and honored things we liked/disliked, and when we needed assistance, which was often, she made solid recommendations for ideas and vendors, always being mindful of our budget. We had monthly calls/meetings, and she and her team were always super detail oriented. They walked us through every step of the wedding planning process and were our biggest cheerleaders as we checked off different boxes - picking out save the dates, nailing down floral details, etc. While I may not have always known what my wedding would *look* like per se, I always knew what I wanted to *feel* like on our big day, and Amanda's team absolutely delivered on that. I was able to breathe easy knowing they had it all covered and were on top of all the details, timelines, etc. They have a super power where they fly under the radar but also show up exactly when you need them. A million thanks to Amanda and her team for making 10.14.23 the best day ever!

dor scene helped us secure 99% of our wedding vendors (we planned out of state). We confirmed Amanda Paige Events 16 months before our wedding date (literally the first vendor we secured), and paid for the Day of Planner package. But Amanda is so much more than that, and I cannot express in words how much work I know she and her team put in behind the scenes. We had planning meetings at the 12 month mark, 8 month, 6 month, 2 month, 1 month mark and every meeting I walked away less stressed than I was going into it. But she and her team (shoutout Taylor & Annie!! 💕) really shined on the day of. They took care of all of the vendor arrival times in the Gold Coast of Chicago (a miracle in itself-tgod for alleys), made schedules for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and made sure the day ran smoothly (which it did- I floated on a cloud all day, which is very hard for me to do 😅). On top of all this, she helped with our seating chart and menus, which were absolutely PERFECT! She is worth every penny and more, and I cannot recommend enough having her and her team on your side on your wedding day. ❤️ The Poggys

hey work together with you to bring your wedding dreams into a beautiful reality. From the second you have your first call with Amanda, you feel like you are planning something with a friend. Even if certain things did not go to plan, Amanda handled it without me even knowing!! I will be recommending Amanda to everyone!! :) I am forever grateful for Amanda and her team

son, which was only amplified when it came to wedding planning. We started working with Amanda one year out from our wedding day and she hit the ground running with checklists, timeline planning, and vendor recommendations. We talked through several timeline options and her quarterly check-ins kept us on track with the endless wedding to-do's. On the actual day of, Amanda and her team made us feel so calm and collected throughout the Taste of Chicago traffic, Lake Shore Drive accidents, and wrangling 20 men together for a choreographed dance at the reception. She even bustled my dress with safety pins at cocktail hour after realizing that it was a bit too long. I think the best testament to APE's work is that I never knew - and still don't know - of a single thing that went wrong on our wedding day. Everything was handled with utmost professionalism and without involving myself or my bridal party/family, allowing everyone to sit back and enjoy the celebration. I could not recommend APE, especially Amanda, Mimi, and Annie, any more.

o a number of planners that told me I’d never be able to have the wedding of my dreams within my desired budget. Then came Amanda. She instantly calmed my nerves with a kind but “in charge” attitude that I can best describe as having a cool, older sister that knows the answer to everything! Not only was Amanda such a great partner throughout the wedding process, she came through with the best vendor and design recommendations. By the time the wedding day came around, Amanda and her team felt more like our friends than our wedding vendors, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Don’t think twice about booking Amanda. I can’t thank her and her team enough for helping us pull off the best day of our lives.

ent - at that point, we had spoken with several other wedding planners in the city who promised us that we would never be able to have the wedding we wanted without a budget 2x what we had planned for. In tears, I called Amanda (who was still on maternity leave after giving birth to her cutie Shay) and her demeanor and level of calmness was immediately a warm hug- she assured us we would have the wedding of our dreams. I knew then we were in good hands and we trusted her immediately. She knew the vibe we were going for right off the bat and went above and beyond to make that happen even at a venue that was completely new to her. She has an eye for the smallest details and is absolutely not phased by anything (for a high anxiety bride this is crucial). She tackles challenges head on and her network within the industry lead us to some of our absolute favorite vendors. We would do this process 100x over if we could work with her to do it. She, Annie, and Taylor are absolute gems and the best in the business.

nect to her energy and style during our initial conversation. We booked her “Wedding Coordination” package which meant that I booked the vendors myself, but Amanda and her team were always there as my second set of eyes for opinions, recommendations, questions, etc! Cate and Annie were the two other members of her team I worked with throughout and they were both fabulous! We started regular touch bases 12 month out from our wedding, and they made sure everything was running smoothly! From giving us resources to use, ensuring we had our homework and keeping us on track. When I say Amanda and her team were always available, it was rare any communication would go more than a few hours before getting a response. They were always there, and I had full confidence the entire time that my day would go smoothly because of the attention to detail they spent with each and every couple. Amanda and her team went above and beyond in every aspect. From attending my final dress fitting so my dress could be perfectly bustled to helping design invitations (with my iterations), to running the entire wedding day without a glitch. I had SO many compliments at the end of my wedding on how amazing my planner and her team was. They made what can be an overwhelming and sometimes stressful process fun and we will always look back at both our wedding and all the work leading it up to it SO thankful we had APE with us every step of the way.

booking coordination with an associate (we love Vanessa) but Amanda was available for any and all questions along the way. Vanessa was so helpful on all our check in calls and made sure we were staying on track. Vanessa ran our rehearsal quickly and efficiently - not necessarily an easy task with a large and chatty wedding party. She showed up at the perfect time on the wedding day to check in with everyone and help keep us moving on schedule. We had extra time to take a breath before the ceremony which was really nice. Our ceremony started a little late so that we could wait for some family members that were delayed and by dinner time we were right back on schedule. Vanessa and Annie not only beautifully set up our centerpieces exactly how I hoped they would look, but also packed everything up and brought it back to our hotel room. That made the end of the night so easy for us. Overall they made it possible for Ethan and I to be so present on our wedding day which was all we could hope for. Thank you for everything!!!

hand over the wedding planning to/day of coordination. However, from the moment I spoke to Amanda, I felt like I was talking to a friend who truly understood my vision. Throughout the entire process, Amanda's expertise and ability to navigate every detail put me at ease. She made the planning fun and enjoyable, and her team executed everything flawlessly. I must also give a big shout-out to Annie for staying until my sparkler exit at midnight. Amanda and her team truly went above and beyond, and I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for the best, look no further - book APE for your wedding.

orward to wedding planning. I am not someone who usually gets excited about flowers or place settings, and I remember after our first vision meeting with Amanda telling my parents I felt like I was “planning my wedding in first class.” Amanda curated the experience for us in a way that made everything fun. She got us right away and never tried to push anything we weren’t comfortable with or not into. She had amazing ideas that were individualized to us and reflected the type of environment we wanted to build. I felt like I could talk to her like a friend, but she also always remained professional and took her job extremely seriously. Despite liking Amanda as a person and enjoying the process with her, she executed a fantastic and seamless event. First, the team of vendors she assembled were truly first class. There are so many moving parts in a wedding and so many people to manage. I was honestly never stressed about anything not going according to plan because the vendors she recommended were so buttoned up and she had worked with them all previously. (You can work with any vendors you want. We just chose to only work with people she had worked with and recommended for us based on what we were looking for.) Second, Amanda and her team kept us on schedule and moving through the wedding day itself. We had a big wedding party (20+ people) and most of our plans had to change on the fly due to a massive downpour. Amanda and her team (Annie & Taylor) handled everything, so I didn’t have to look at my phone or a watch once and could just enjoy the day. Thirdly, she drove us an hour outside of Chicago to meet with our caterer for a signature cocktail tasting to ensure we had tasted everything our guests would be served: truly above and beyond. Lastly, Amanda designed a TON of amazing things for us (invitations, menus, seating charts, etc.) She literally drew our favorite locations for our seating chart because we wanted our tables to be named after meaningful locations. This level of decor/stationary creation is usually another huge expense, so it made her rate feel even more reasonable. I would highly recommend Amanda and her team to plan any wedding regardless of size, budget, or style. We have already recommended her to our friends beginning the process. She not only made our wedding dreams a reality, but she helped us create something beyond what we ever thought possible.

ave done it without Amanda! Over 18 months, Amanda worked closely with us through vendor selection process including reviewing vendor contracts, articulating our vision, bringing the design to life, ultimately to our beautiful day! Personally, I was overwhelmed by the decisions, timelines, details that needed to be made & when. Whenever there was any question, Amanda was a text away. She consistently checked-in, we held our scheduled touchpoints (and plenty of ad-hoc - for my sanity), and it never felt like there was not a point at which she was not involved or invested. Amanda could tell I was struggling to envision all of the floral/decor details and set-up an in person decor viewing to put my mind at ease and finalize decisions. She generously created (and sketched) our welcome insert for our guest bags. There are so many details where she went above and beyond before our wedding day even arrived. On our wedding day - I could not have been more thankful Amanda, Annie & Mimi were by our side! Truly, there was not a single detail that went unnoticed, or not as planned. The organization, communication and support the day of, put our minds at ease. She pulled my mom aside for special sneak peeks of our room reveal, and made moments special for our families. Over the 18 months of our 'working relationship', we gained a friend and could not have been more impressed by the culmination of all of Amanda & her team's hard work coming together. We had the most perfect day, ever!

ly vouch that this is 1000% true. In the build up, she helped us tie several loose ends with our vendors, coordinated the walkthrough and dialed us in so that we could attend virtually. She is always readily available to help and offered her thoughtful inputs (but knew when to step back and let us make the final call) at our food tasting, bridal hair trial and groom's suit/tuxedo selection. On the day of, she kept the event moving along seamlessly, with master shepherding of vendors and various guests. She coordinated the rehearsal, ensuring everyone (the couple, the parents, the officiant as well as the DJ, the photo/videographer) knew their roles well. She ensured the couple had a plate of appetizers ready before cocktail hour, which we appreciated. She kept the group photos moving along, while also respecting the wishes of the family to have photos taken with various permutations of family members and on different phones in addition to the wedding photographer. We also had a slight mix-up with our cake vendor, which she managed effortlessly. Amanda's assistant, Annie, was amazing on the day-of, as well! She coordinated with the groom and his family in the build-up to the ceremony, ensuring they knew when to be where for the photos and first look etc. She also ensured we didn't have to worry about anything during the actual ceremony, taking care to ensure that all the gifts / jewelry etc. were collected and transported seamlessly between the ceremony and party venues. She even came prepared with band-aids to save the day with an unexpected blister :) Amanda and her team really think of everything and help make the day run seamlessly without any worries for the bride, groom or their families. We are so grateful that we had her and her team on our day!!

ow that NOTHING went wrong (at least if something did go wrong, I never found out about it) on our wedding day. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, it is SOO worth the money. Amanda & team took care of things I never would've thought of and made sure all events were on schedule. Her services are absolutely priceless and I can't thank Amanda Paige Events for giving us the fairytale day we dreamed of!!!! Thank you team!!

m made it all so simple and actually fun. They were decisive when I needed direction and they were supportive when I needed just words of encouragement. I wouldn't have had the perfect day without them!

t I would have done without her. Thank you, Mimi!!

sted in us as a couple, in our vision for our day, and how honest and ambitious she was about making things work on the budget we gave her. She quickly latched onto the already strong vision we had for our wedding day, and enhanced it with every step. She went above and beyond throughout the planning process to connect us (usually on the FIRST recommendation) with vendors that provided exactly what we'd dreamt of - one of them even told me that they consider Amanda a "matchmaker" because of her ease in connecting couples with the perfect vendors for their wedding by matching their communication style, overall vibe, and vision. I couldn't agree more! Her creativity is unmatched in finding the best ways to stretch a budget, prioritize things that are important, and ditch what's not. She makes you feel seen, heard, understood, and is always a quick text away - even if you just need some morale support! On the day of our wedding, Amanda, Taylor, Vanessa, and Annie did a fantastic job taking us through the day with ease. We had some last minute timeline changes and without batting an eye, the team was well-communicated and ready to move things around so that everything went smoothly for us and our families. The APE team is detail-oriented, communicative, professional, calm, creative, and has amazing vendor relationships. I can't recommend them enough!

anything go unnoticed or undone. Highly recommend.

ve her glowing reviews. From the first phone call, Amanda and I immediately hit it off. She felt like much more than a coordinator. She was there throughout the entire planning process and answered endless questions. She was extremely present and extra hands on the weeks leading up to the wedding. She was a saint at our final walk through and asked all of the right questions. Annie, one of her associates, jumped right in at the rehearsal and day of. Annie was extremely attentive. When the church coordinator wanted to make a few last minute changes, Annie jumped right in to make sure we followed the plan. The day of, Annie and Amanda were the very best team. Amanda and Annie got there early and got right to work. Amanda made sure the event space was perfect and helped in so SO many ways. Annie was my right hand lady the entire day, making sure I had everything I needed, the bridal party was on time, and the ceremony and reception went perfectly. They worked closely with our vendors and made sure every detail was perfect. I could go on and on. It truly was the perfect day thanks to them. Everything went smoothly, and I did not have a single worry (which says A LOT) because of Amanda and Annie. As someone who likes to think of every detail and “what if”, I was so lucky to find Amanda and Annie to handle everything during our wedding. Amanda Paige Events is a group of passionate, driven, caring, loving women who you can trust with every aspect of your wedding. I cannot recommend them enough for all of your wedding needs!

s going to be a hectic 2 years leading up to our wedding and I wanted to keep everything as stress-free as possible! I had a few intro calls with various vendors, but the moment I spoke with Amanda I immediately felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. My husband and I both agree that leading up to the wedding, every call with Amanda helped to ease our nerves and smooth out any rough edges. On our wedding day, Amanda and Annie are the reason that everything ran smoothly- they really thought of every small detail while helping to corral our somewhat reckless wedding party. In full transparency, I DID cry when we needed to leave at the end of the night- but only because it was the best night of my life (and also the champagne). Either way, Amanda and her team are the reason the night went so perfectly!

ies--especially on the day of the wedding. After talking with a few friends, I decided that I needed a day-of coordinator to make sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. After my first meeting with Amanda, I knew she was the one. Amanda is far from just a day-of coordinator; she is a wealth of wedding industry knowledge, she provides support several months leading up to the big day, and she is your friend. Even though I was doing all the planning, Amanda was there every step of the way. Once our wedding day came, I felt at ease knowing that everything was ready to go because of the hard work of Amanda and her team. On the day of the wedding, Amanda and Mimi made sure everything ran on schedule and made our wedding day an absolute breeze. We highly recommend her and her team!
