I can't recommend Jade highly enough as a wedding planner! Jade was a dream to work with from start to finish, making the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable. Her attention to detail, creativity, and dedication ensured our wedding day was absolutely perfect. She handled every aspect with professionalism and care, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. If you want a truly exceptional wedding planner, Amanda Reed Weddings is the one to choose.
I don't even know where to begin!!! Bridget Willis with Amanda Reed Weddings was SPECTACULAR! Not only was she the kindest soul, but she worked so hard to make sure my wedding was the best it could be. I cant even comprehend how Bridget magically remembered everything that needed to be done and how to do it perfectly. Even down to the smallest things of removing the reserved signs we had on the pews before the ceremony started. Bridget and her team day of were AMAZING! One of her team members even prayed over me before I went down the aisle, which was exactly what I needed. I am so grateful for all of the work they did to make sure the wedding went smoothly!
I highly recommend you use ARW for the best service!!!
Amanda Reed and her whole team are the epitome of great customer service. Planning a wedding is inevitably stressful, but Amanda and her team were truly always two steps ahead. They are kind, accommodating, and patient with bride (plus family) through the whole process. You can trust everything they do is done well and with great taste. I highly recommend Amanda Reed and team for any event you are planning, they deliver a memorable experience for every occasion!
Katie is hands down one of the best in the business! She made the planning process SO much fun and not stressful at all. She cares about every little detail just as much as you do and will not disappoint on the day of! My whole day was an absolute dream that I will never forget. If you're thinking about getting a wedding planner, DO IT! Katie will be your right hand gal the whole way through!!
Amanda Reed Weddings is the best of the best! She took care of the entire wedding process from start to finish. There was not a single detail missed. She and her team are absolute miracle queens. Our special weekend (& year) would not have been what it was without Amanda and her team. They made our special day something that we talk about, cry about (happy tears, of course), and laugh about all the time. She does more than just design and plan weddings, she brings families & friends together to create a memory that will last a lifetime. Amanda and her entire team are one of a kind. We recommend Amanda Reed Weddings to everyone!
Katie’s professionalism, attention to detail and flawless execution of the 'day of' was exemplary! We can’t thank Katie and team enough for providing such a positive, stress-free experience and bringing my daughter’s dream wedding vision to fruition. It truly was a perfect day that we’ll treasure forever.
Amanda Reed and her team are simply the best. She’s organized, communicative, and has exquisite taste (especially when you need her input on what actually works and what doesn’t, etc.)— she’s ALL the things that you need in a wedding planners.
Amanda helped my mother and I to keep our sanity through the entire wedding planning process so, for that, we are eternally grateful.
We chose an unconventional wedding venue wherein no one had ever previously been married/hosted a wedding reception and somehow she made it work. It was beautiful and so much fun!
Katie with Amanda Reed Weddings was such an angel of planner! She was always ready and available, and would pay close attention to details. She carried herself with a peaceful confidence that never made me feel stressed about all the chaos. Thankful I had her during the wedding planning season!
Greetings, review world. I’m going to try to not sound like 1) the self identified President of Amanda Reed’s fan club or 2) the girl that has an unrelenting friend crush on Amanda, but acknowledge I am 100% likely going to sound like both of these people with the following review. (Check out my highlight reel - Mad About Trabue - on my instagram @mcortego for pics.)
A lil’ background - Amanda did my sister, Lindsay’s, wedding several years ago (Sassafras Winery in AR). It was an absolute masterpiece, from the venue - to the decor - to her team - to literally just every aspect one would imagine being part of a wedding. My interactions with Amanda were minimal with this event of course, as I was a mere bridesmaid as she tamed the entire production that day; but from our brief encounters, I was able to tell she was a gal about her business and clearly possessed an immaculate skill set to plan a wedding as beautiful and entertaining as my sisters. As such, it was a no brainer why my mom had Amanda on speed dial when I got engaged in April 2020 (my husband, Shane, and I were wed in November 2021 - holy cannoli, this was almost a year ago, why on earth have I waited this long to write my love letter review to sweet Amanda!).
It’s difficult to organize/explain all of the things I loved about having Amanda planning our wedding - there’s obviously the tangible things, like Amanda being the most incredible guide when it came to choosing invitations, flowers, touring venues, coordinating with vendors, discussing logistics of tables/seating charts, ceremony, etc. I am a girl who did *not* have a clear, defined vision of what was wanted for her wedding - I am also a girl who kind of blacks out when it comes to conversations like flowers and choosing color schemes, because I unfortunately did not inherit my mother’s eye for detail/decor and as such can’t really verbalize what my “vibe” is as far as aesthetics (but obviously I wanted something unique and beautiful, because hello, its my wedding okayyyy). Despite this, Amanda is clearly so attuned to her brides that she was literally able to go off of my few, menial “ideas” and created the most INSANE and BEAUTIFUL wedding of our dreams (like, literally, it was e v e r y t h i n g - homegirl may be a psychic/medium or something with how she saw through me and made a vision that was 1,000% quintessential Shane and Maddie come to life).
Outside of the tangible elements of a wedding, there’s also the interpersonal, more heartfelt moments that took place when working with Amanda - she is SO kind, she actively listens to her brides/family concerns and questions and she will go above and beyond (and then some more) for you - like, going to Walmart late at night for some iridescent fanny packs for your Flower Bros! She never made me feel ridiculous when I'd ask silly, obvious questions or require quite a bit of review to make sure I had a good grasp on allllll the wedding things, questions/tasks I needed to answer to, etc. throughout the process. Amanda makes it her mission to remove any and all concerns from your radar the day of your wedding; if there were things or people going awry the day of, we NEVER knew or heard about it - I imagine Amanda and her team as like stealthy little wedding ninjas underneath, but still somehow possess the ability to be the most approachable, validating, kind and FRIENDLY people ever.
Sigh - in short, I love Amanda and her team. Obviously. HIRE HER! Xoxo, M & S
When I think of my wedding day, I think of stress-free, perfect, beautiful, and THE BEST DAY EVER. This day wouldn't have been half of these things if Katie wasn't my wedding planner and helped nail down each + every detail along the way + then handled it all the day of. All my family has talked about is how hiring a wedding planner was worth every single penny + some. This team is truly the best, and if you want the most seamless perfect wedding ever hire them, they do not miss a detail! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
ARW made the whole process so smooth and easy! They helped guide my vision then took care of the details to bring it to life!
I can’t say how amazing it was working with Katie at ARW enough!!! She is so sharp and organized, to the point yet always kind and in general willing to do whatever it takes to make your day exactly how you want it and one you’ll always remember. I wish I could get married again just to work with her on another wedding!!
Amazing team to work with! Wouldn’t have changed a thing ❤️
We loved working with Amanda Reed Weddings - both Amanda and Stephanie Benton! The entire team worked so hard and helped us plan everything down to the very last detail. We used the crew for both planning and day of a Friday night Welcome party, as well as our Wedding day. Both events were absolute stunning and came together perfectly, thanks to the ARW team! We had plenty of obstacles along the way, from COVID, to planning everything remotely from multiple cities, to rescheduled dates and more, but Amanda and Stephanie helped keep things in order and moving forward. We’re so thankful for everything they did for us and making our weekend so special. We’ll never forget it! THANKS, ARW team!!
May 21 was definitely the date for a wedding in 2022. I think everyone on Amanda's team had a wedding that day. We worked very closely with Taylor Hight. She was amazing! Taylor always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Any vendor we mentioned that we would like to work with, she was on it! Taylor seemed to have great rapport and a secret door to any wedding professional we mentioned to her. Using Amanda Reed's Team was definitely the best decision I made concerning our daughter's wedding.
Stephanie was a God send! She was so great to work with through our whole engagement and wedding planning process. I barely had to lift a finger when reaching out to vendors and when the day came, she executed my vision flawlessly! Stephanie and her team made me feel so special! My husband and I were so relaxed on our day because of Stephanie and her team! I can’t thank them enough for all their hard work in helping us! If you’re a bride looking for a coordinator- look no further!!! Book Amanda Reed Weddings for your planning!
We loved working with Amanda Reed Weddings! Amanda paired us with Taylor Hight, a flexible and caring person who fits perfectly our personalities and needs. She was tasked with helping us plan our NWA wedding from California and did an outstanding job helping us create our perfect day. Countless times Taylor saved the day by saving us money and remembering all the little details. Amanda Reed Weddings feels like family and would recommend to anyone because of their outstanding work!
I don’t think there are words to express my experience with Amanda Reed. The whole process was organized, fun and enjoyable. From the first conversation I knew Amanda was the one for me. She took a chance on an out of state wedding and it was better than I could have ever dreamed. Her taste and experience are unmatched. She was diligent with every decision to make sure that we were making the correct choice keeping in mind cost effectiveness and value. I trusted her to handle anything without having to micromanage every decision. When my mom and i were asked how wedding planning was going from others with a sense of pity in their voices, we could gladly reply “it’s great. Thanks to Amanda”. All those close to us knew who Amanda was by first name only. Which speaks to how involved and important she was in our special day. She flawlessly worked with our multitude of vendors to have the whole day flow smoothly. She was quick to respond to my immense amount of emails and never made me feel like a bother. Although she is a very busy woman she never made me feel like my special day was not the highest priority. Now that the wedding is over I truly miss interacting with her what felt like every day.
I think my experience on the day of the wedding truly sums up how amazing she is. I spent the whole morning getting ready with my dearest friends, taking turns peaking out the venue window watching the most spectacular event come together right in front of our eyes. I then got to reunite with my husband and watch him see everything we’d been talking about for months come to life. It was truly the most perfect day and I owe that all to Amanda and her team. Every member of the team we worked with was truly first class. Every time i think back on the day I am filled with emotion about just how beautiful and perfect it all was. I will be an ARW hype girl for life!! For anyone reading this, if you do one thing throughout the wedding planning or any special event process work with ARW and everything else will come together!!
Amanda Reed made our wedding perfect. People say their weddings were perfect but our wedding was legitimately perfect with every detail being completely planned out and executed by Amanda and her team. Along with this, Amanda is an amazing person with an excellent bedside manner. She helped everyone in the wedding party relax and made the day so easy and fun for us. I cannot recommend her enough. She made all my dreams a reality!
Katie and the Amanda Reed Weddings team was an absolute dream to work with. Wedding day was absolutely beautiful and stress free for myself, my husband, and our family. They took care of everything and were so professional throughout the entire process. I had countless compliments on how beautiful the design was and how effortless the entire day was. I lived out of state throughout most of the planning process and Katie handled everything and communicated with me every step of the way. If you are thinking about incorporating a wedding planner into your big day, you will not be disappointed with ARW!
Stephanie and the whole ARM team orchestrated our absolute dream wedding at Crystal Bridges! They are professional, knowledgeable and work so well together and with us. Stephanie kept us on a great timeline for planning and organized countless small details that made our day absolutely perfect.
The ARW team has extensive vendor connections in the NWA area which was very helpful for me and my family because we were planning the wedding from out of state. The vendors trust the ARW team and Stephanie was in constant communication with them to make sure all our visions came to life.
Our wedding day ran smoothly and I was able to fully enjoy the whole day thanks to Stephanie and the team! They made me feel like the most special bride and I can't sing their praises enough!
We absolutely recommend Amanda Reed Weddings for not only weddings, but any event you may need help planning! Katie made sure our wedding day was perfect and I felt like I made a new friend throughout the process. Our big day was a dream and it was all thanks to Katie and the Amanda Reed team.
It’s hard to find the right words to adequately express how much Katie McIntire with Amanda Reed Weddings means to us.
Hiring Amanda Reed Weddings after getting engaged and deciding to get married in the middle of a pandemic was the very best thing. Katie brought so much light and love and made us excited to dream about celebrating our wedding day in-person with family and friends.
When you hire Amanda Reed Weddings you instantly know that everything will be taken care of. The team provides assistance with every aspect of planning a wedding, from vendor recommendations and budgeting, to coordinating the day of, and so much more! Katie really took the time to understand the look and feel that we were going for, and absolutely knocked it out of the park with her design. It was “us” and it was more than we could’ve ever imagined. Katie is seriously a creative genius!
I must also add that every vendor we worked with mentioned how much they loved working with Amanda Reed Weddings. Each person on the team (as well as all of the vendors) exudes kindness, creativity, and talent. It’s clear that Amanda Reed Weddings & team only surround themselves with the best!
We truly wish that we could do it all over again as it was the best day of our lives and we’re forever grateful for Katie. She made everything look seamless and easy, and we know she worked tirelessly to make our dream happen.
We love you big, Katie! You’re the best and anyone who has the opportunity to work with you and witness your talent is lucky.
Thank you, Katie and Amanda Reed Weddings, for such a memorable wedding!
We can't say enough wonderful things about Amanda Reed Weddings! We worked with Katie McIntire (actual angel sent from Heaven) and had the best experience! Weddings are expensive and stressful, and I know this is an added expense, but ya'll...WORTH EVERY PENNY! They are detailed, organized, know all the ins and outs, and walk you through each step flawlessly.
Working with Amanda Reed was quite possibly the best decision we made when planning our wedding! Not only did she make everything go completely flawlessly at our wedding, she was such a joy to work with. She kept me calm during the whole planning process and always made the planning fun! I had the wedding of my dreams and it's all thanks to her and her team! There's really no one better :)
Amanda, Katie, and Elise saved our wedding ya’ll!! I called Amanda in July of 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic and asked for help with my November 2020 wedding. The majority of my vendors were unavailable due to the pandemic and I honestly did not know what to do moving forward. Amanda helped me to replan our entire wedding and navigate how to keep everyone safe and comfortable during the pandemic.
Our wedding day was picture perfect! My husband and I had the time of our lives! Despite the crunched timeline, no details were spared by Amanda’s team. Our ceremony and reception were truly designed for us with our friends and family in mind. Our loved ones still talk about our fairytale wedding every time that we see them - it is a gift to have such a beautiful memory to share.
Amanda Reed is absolutely incredible! I had no idea how thankful I would be for Amanda when we started planning my daughter’s wedding in Fall of 2019. She guided us through the entire process and had the most wonderful suggestions to personalize the special day. Amanda’s team, vendors, and contacts are truly the best of the best. Most importantly, in the midst of a pandemic, Amanda was with us step-by-step for every “unprecedented surprise”. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but COVID definitely took it to a new level. I am so grateful that through it all, Amanda and her team were there…..and on the day of, the ARW Magic was on full display! At the end of the night my daughter said it was even better than she imagined…exactly what a Mother of the Bride wants to hear!!
Where to even begin... first off, to all brides to be, Amanda Reed (and her incredible team) is a MUST HAVE for your wedding! Please make this step number one in your wedding planning process - trust me you won't regret it!! Not only does Amanda have the most amazing step by step process and check list (and who doesn't love a check list), but she has the best vendor connections and contacts for each of your wedding day needs, and will guide you one checkmark at a time.
Amanda is with you every step of the way and gets to know you personally which allows her to see your vision for your day - then she brings it to life even better than you could've ever imagine. While Amanda makes the planning process fun and exciting (even for a COVID bride), she makes the day of your wedding completely stress free. I was so calm during my wedding day because I knew who I had by my side (the best in the business) - which allowed me to really take in my day like it should be.
Amanda is the most incredible support system and now an even better friend. I'll never be able to put into words how much Amanda means to me and how lucky I was to have had her and my team for our perfect wedding.
Amanda Reed is hands down the best wedding planner EVER! Not only is she incredibly creative and talented, but she's the kindest most amazing human! She will help make your special day even more amazing than you could dream, trust me the picture I had in my head was more dreamy than I ever imagined it would be! She's patient, gets sh*t done and always has a smile on her face (even when re-planning a wedding during the middle of a pandemic) Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Amanda and her team, but I can say I will recommend her to any and everyone who asks if I know a great wedding planner! They're the best and I'm so very thankful that they were a part of our special day!
Amanda and her team were absolutely amazing in coordinating our wedding! She was a pleasure to work with, didn't miss a single detail in the planning, and helped put together the perfect collection of vendors to pull off the wedding. We challenged her with a very large guest list, comparatively small reception space :), and lengthy day to coordinate and we could not have imagined it going any better! If there were any hiccups we didn't know because she takes care of it all. Hiiiiighly recommend her for full service wedding planning!
Weddings are already stressful, then you add a virus on top of it! Everything was handled with such grace, and professionalism. Stephanie took away all of the stress, and made our day fun! Our day turned out beautiful. Thank you to Stephanie, and the Amanda Reed team for every piece of advice and allowing my family and I to enjoy ourselves on the big day.

She’s amazing. There’s truly nothing else to say. Her creativity and ability to transform a space is next level!
Our daughter and son-in-law were married May 5, 2018 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It was a beautiful wedding and perfect in every way! One year earlier we realized we needed to find a wedding coordinator in the area as we, our daughter, and her finance did not live in Fayetteville. Our daughter did some research and found Amanda Reed. We met with her and quickly realized that she was a perfect fit. She was kind, creative, organized, and a great listener. Amanda provided us guidance and had so many wonderful ideas that could fit in our budget. We had a family emergency during the year planning our daughter’s wedding. Amanda was there to offer her support to our family as well as take care of wedding things that we may have forgotten. Amanda put us in touch with some awesome venders during the planning year. She helped us think outside the box sometimes, we were always thankful for her ideas. The weekend of the wedding Amanda and her team were awesome. She was EVERYWHERE handling things in her quiet and efficient manner. When we needed something at the rehearsal, morning of the wedding, at the wedding, during the reception, and after the wedding…Amanda was there. Amanda even contacted us the day after the wedding to wrap up some things. We would strongly recommend Amanda Reed as a wedding coordinator for any bride and groom’s special day.
My wedding day was perfect thanks to Amanda Reed and her team! I planned a destination wedding in Arkansas, so having her guidance throughout the planning process was a godsend. Amanda has exquisite taste and invaluable experience to help make for a beautiful and flawless wedding day. Having her and her team run the show from set-up to tear-down on the wedding day made for a stress-free and fully-enjoyed day for me and my family! She is a master of her craft, and I am so grateful to have had her and her expertise through what can be a crazy experience of wedding planning!
Amanda and her team were everything you could want in a wedding planner! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry and local vendors, and she has an eye for design to make your vision come to life. She gets excited with you about all of the little things along the way, and truly helps to make the whole experience of planning a wedding feel special. On the day of the wedding, she coordinated everything with grace and ease. I truly didn't have to worry about anything because I knew her team would take care of it. I can't recommend her highly enough!
WEDDING BLISS 👰🏼💍 only happened because of @amandareedweddings and her phenomenal team! She was with me every step I needed and when I didn’t even know I needed it! She made the weeks and THE DAY⛪️ perfect and so much fun🥂! I CAN NOT say THANK YOU enough to them! She became more than a planner but she made me feel like we’d been best friends for forever! ❤️ Love her heart for what she does! She’s amazing y’all! 🙌🏼
I am so thankful for Carol’s hard work through the planning process and the day of our wedding. She was dedicated and hardworking. She was hell bent on giving me what I wanted, and making it beautiful. She handled any little changes that needed to be made in game time decisions with grace and good judgment without even bothering me or worrying me. That’s all you really want on your wedding day, is someone to take care of things so you can enjoy your day!! she was awesome!!
Words cannot begin to express how much Amanda meant to my family, my husband and myself during our wedding planning process. Amanda is the reason that our day was everything we had dreamt of and so much more. From our first meeting until our exit at our reception, Amanda listened to what we wanted and made it possible. She was always professional, encouraging, enthusiastic and fun. She not only kept our budget on track, but help us come under budget and still get everything we wanted. She made the wedding planning process enjoyable and stress free for me and my family. I still talk about how relaxed I was throughout this whole process, and I have Amanda to thank for that. I cannot recommend Amanda Reed Weddings enough, I will be forever thankful for all of the time and effort Amanda and her staff put in to making our day everything we had hoped for.
Amanda Reed's planning and design skills are second to none. I couldn't have been more pleased with the way Amanda helped shape our wedding details and design. She can help you create the look that you can't find on Pinterest, a custom and unique experience tailored specifically for each bride and groom. A true professional! There for you before, during, and after the wedding! I can't say enough great things about Amanda and her business!
If I could do my wedding over, and could only keep ONE thing about it the same (other than my husband, of course), it would be Amanda. She’s the absolute best. I was planning my wedding in Fayetteville while living in Dallas, and she was such a great help. It was her idea for my husband and me to have a private dinner between the ceremony and the reception, and it was my favorite part of our night. My family, my in laws, the bridal party, my husband, and I were able to completely relax and enjoy the big day. You MUST find room in your budget for Amanda - she is a #1 priority for a perfect wedding day!
Where to start with Amanda? She definitely exceeded all expectations I could have ever had in a wedding planner. We would meet and she would show me these designs and colors and styles and I had absolutely no idea how someone could imagine all this in their head and display it the way she had but when we walked into our wedding venue/reception we were more than blown away. She is not only unique in her own style but knows how to incorporate our style/ideas when most days I didn't even know what I wanted. She is smart, attentive, understanding and most of all a huge sweetheart. Someone who was once a stranger is now someone I truly am thankful to know! She is THE BOMB and THE BEST wedding planner around!
Amanda is professional, fun, and so creative! She made the planning process stress free and I didn't have a care in the world on our big day!! I've received so many compliments from our guests about the decor and atmosphere and it's all thanks to Amanda!
I should start by letting you know I am a control freak... I had every detail of my wedding planned right down to which centerpiece went on which table. Which might not sound like much, but we flipped a room in the Chancellor hotel from ceremony to reception, so there was a very limited time window to accomplish my vision.
My initial meeting with Amanda was more like an interview than a consultation -bless her heart- but she promised to bring my vision to life and that she did! Before the wedding, I was so concerned that I would ruin the night for myself, agonizing over every detail thinking "this would be out of place" or "that's not the right color" but the evening of, I couldn't stop thinking about how PERFECT everything was! And beyond checking off every item on my million-mile checklist, Amanda herself kept a glass of champagne in my hand the entire night.
My only complaint is that the evening passed too quickly. I would recommend Amanda and crew to you a thousand times over. I can't thank her more for the true sense of relief that my dream had come to life, and my only worries were attending to my guests!
We could not have made it through the weekend without Amy our coordinator! My daughter and I had done most of our planning - but Amy brought up all the little things that helped bring her wedding weekend together perfectly. She kept the day flowing, handled all the trouble spots, allowed me, the Mother of the Bride to ENJOY the day! That was invaluable. She even danced at the reception and joined the crowd and she felt like family. I cannot say enough good things about Amy - she was the best money I spent on my daughters wedding and I will be calling her for sure when my other daughter gets engaged. You will not regret using this agency for your wedding or special event - her contacts and knowledge were above average. Her level of organization, calm and cool personality, positive attitude and just overall willingness to work with you were just wonderful.
