Aimee Fennessey of Amanda Rose is an experienced, knowledgeable and excellent wedding planner whom we would highly recommend. Aimee planned a wedding for us in 2 ½ months – a wedding that was picture perfect in every way. She guided us throug...
h the process quickly and efficiently, keeping us on track with vendor selection, payments, to-do lists, timelines, etc. Her communication throughout was immediate, to-the-point and efficient. She gave her personal opinions when asked, but otherwise, did all she could to make the wedding exactly as we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Aimee’s attitude was wonderful –she was flexible, comforting, amenable, ready to do whatever to make everyone happy! Without doubt, we could not have managed to do all that was necessary to have such a lovely, memorable affair in such a short time without Aimee. She deserves our highest praise and thanks.

rway. As we were planning a wedding in SC, but are located in VA this was invaluable. It's worth mentioning that every vendor asked us who our planner was and GUSHED over Amanda Rose Weddings. They truly are rockstars. Over the year and a half leading up to the wedding, they answered every question and brought things to our attention we would have never thought of. 2 months out from our wedding they stepped in and began orchestrating all of the logistics needed to make our day so special (and there were A LOT). Both Aimee and London did several site visits to Daufuskie Island and took over all communication with vendors. Their communication with everyone was incredible and ensured everyone got on and off island successfully! London oversaw delivery of all of our rentals, made adjustments to our layout where necessary and organized every single detail we had accumulated over the last 1.5 years for the wedding and reception. She got us organized in our most chaotic hour. Aimee and two fabulous assistants were there for us on the day of and literally made us feel like queens, but also tactfully kept us out of the loop of any challenges that arose so we could enjoy our day. Recommend this team 10000000000% to anyone, they truly know their stuff, put your mind at ease, take away so much stress and help to create a stunning, seamless event. Thank you all so much for everything you did!!!

OB's want to do all they possibly can for the wedding, when you need to remember that you need to be able to enjoy the day as well.

Aimee + ARW was the greatest addition to our wedding and planning process! We do not like in SC, nor even visited our venue. We put all of our trust in her judgement and recommendations for selecting other local vendors and how to plan our day....
Aimee was fantastic to work with and I could not have planned this destination wedding without her. I am a very organized, detail oriented person, and she was patient with me through my millions of questions. It stormed so badly on our wedding day, but knowing she was handling the day and the other vendors, I did not even let the weather get to me. I trusted her 110% from beginning to end and our personalities gelled right away. Wedding planning is a stressful experience and she helped me for over a year, tackle it. She knows this industry and without her this day would have never been the same. She works great with all of the other vendors and prioritizes her current brides, which I loved!

I wasn’t sure about getting a planner for my wedding, but it was strongly encouraged for me to get at least a day of coordinator. It was important for me to use local vendors, and that’s how I stumbled upon Amanda Rose Wedding and Events. When ...
it was time for us to get things started there was an extensive form to fill out to inform the coordinator of everything they’ll need to know for my wedding day. Let’s just say I opened it and was impressed with the thoroughness but overwhelmed with the task. When I expressed my feelings about the form, London validated my concerns, and scheduled a call for us to go through them together. This is just a small reflection of how incredible she was throughout the entire process. My, then fiancé, even made a comment at our rehearsals “I know she’s here for ‘our wedding’ but it’s obvious that she’s really here for you”. I’m definitely the controlling kind of person, and she had a way to always make me feel in control while also feeling comfortable not being in control once the wedding day had arrived. Out of all the coordinators at Amanda Rose I’m thankful I was matched with London.

ee offered prudent advice on every aspect of the planning, and indulged me in incorporating my eclectic collection of vintage décor we shipped AND lugged from Kansas. (God bless you, Aimee!) She also had a very detailed timeline typed out, so that everyone stayed on-track. Even when the wind blew something into my contact lens literally before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, she and Alexandra (who was also AWESOME) dealt with it calmly and problem-solved quickly. (Note: Have a Plan B if you're wearing contacts during a windstorm. Mine was Aimee!) The ceremony and reception were beautiful and we continue to get compliments on how everything was put together so well and that no detail had been spared. Aimee and Alexandra set up and broke down everything, packed it all very well, and helped to make the day go as smoothly as possible. As soon as the ceremony was over, they were waiting with drinks in-hand (For us! They weren't imbibing, though my tablescape décor probably made them want to, lol.) . Aimee also connected me with practically every vendor, and communicated with them throughout the planning process. They were all wonderful! If you're on the fence about investing in a wedding planner, especially if you live out-of-state, I can attest that hiring Aimee made all the difference in the world. I'm saying this as someone who enjoys planning myself, and she was a lifesaver! Her elopement packages are very reasonable, and she can do add-ons for other services, especially if you go overboard on Pinterest and need an additional assistant (much love, Alexandra) to help. Having a planner helps alleviate some of the stress and they can expertly handle things that are happening behind-the-scenes (and believe me, there are always things happening behind-the-scenes). I'm so grateful for Aimee and Alexandra! I just wish the day could've lasted longer. Thank you, Aimee!!!

vice and save them from going through what I did, I would urge them not to go with Amanda Rose weddings. Two weeks before my wedding, they quit. No one in the company even bothered to call me. Amy, the planner, just sent me an email stating "After much thought and consideration I have decided that it is best for us to part ways. In the contract you signed it states that either party can cancel this Agreement, in writing, for any reason." They made no attempt to contact me to discuss their issues. In addition, they are refusing to return the deposit, leaving me on the hook for two planners, Amanda Rose and the replacement company I had to hire in a panic. As if it couldn't get worse, the day before she quit, Amy met with the vendors at the venue and caused much more harm than good. During the two-hour meeting (I was not able to be there as I was in California and the location had poor cell reception), she gave false information to the caterer causing her to freak out (she incorrectly told her she could not use the kitchen at the venue among other things). Because of her actions, the relationship with the caterer was irreparably damaged and I had to part ways with her. (It turned out ok cause I found an amazing caterer in Tina with Bluffton Oyster Company and the caterer I had to fire returned my deposit fully) In all, Amanda Rose Weddings did not fulfill there contract with me, sticking me with additional wedding costs, costing me my caterer, and putting a big cloud over my bachelorette weekend (oh yeah, she quit while I was on my way to my bachelorette weekend), and communicating poorly through sometimes very rude response. I had to spend the last two weeks of planning looking for a caterer and wedding planner when I should have been focusing on small details (there were many things I just never ended up doing because there was no time). I know that their prices and packages look tempting, but please trust me that it is worth the money to go with anyone else. PS. I got married to the love of my life on May 12, 2017 with our closest 50 family and friends, everything went beautifully, no issues. I recommend Danielle and Steffen with Amazing rentals, Tina with Bluffton Oyster Company, Peter with Advanced A/V Rentals and Jody with Mayesh Flowers.

erve to be acknowledged for the work they put into making my wedding perfect. In short, my fabulous wedding on Hilton Head Island would not have been even remotely possible without Linda. My husband and I live in Los Angeles, and almost our entire wedding was planned long distance with Linda taking the reins in South Carolina. We made two trips out prior to the wedding – the first to visit venues with Linda, the second to meet with the florist and have our tasting (Linda arranged and attended all meetings with us) – and everything before, after, and in between was taken care of through conference calls and e-mails! Linda went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and I will admit that I am a very picky and demanding person. She responded immediately to e-mails, which is super important to me, and was always available for questions. When we weren’t sure how to deal with the welcome bags we wanted to do – as every single wedding guest was coming in from out of town for the wedding – because we couldn’t bring all of the goodies with us in our suitcases, she let us have everything delivered to her home! UPS made at least a dozen deliveries to her house with wedding stuff, everything from décor items I ordered for the escort card table to tiny bottles of cider for the welcome bags. Linda picked up maps and brochures of the area for us to include in the welcome bags, and she even went had our escort cards printed for us. Really, anything we needed her to help us with she was there to do. She also has relationships with truly amazing vendors – our florist was incredible, our DJ so fun, and the dessert caterer (separate from the venue, because I needed a dessert table!) absolutely delicious. Planning a wedding feels like a full time job, and when you are 3,000 miles away from your venue it can feel like an impossible task! But whether you are local or planning a destination wedding, I recommend you utilize Linda’s expertise. Thanks to her I had an absolutely fabulous wedding.

er visited Charleston, so we relied heavily on Linda's recommendations when we chose our vendors and venue. Because we were unfamiliar with the area, we truly relied on Linda's experience with the vendors, and her suggestions when it came to the cost of everything from rentals to liquor to food. Linda suggested a handful of vendors, and we selected from among them. She gave us the pros and cons of each of them, provided photographs that she took on her own (so we weren't just relying on the Internet), and also included options of vendors with whom she hadn't worked, but about whom she heard good things. In short, we loved everything, and we attribute that to Linda. Without her suggestions, we would not have found some of our favorite vendors. We learned from our vendors that Linda has a great reputation among them as a planner-- which definitely helps. Additionally, Linda guides you through the entire planning process. She is organized, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and has great taste. She made even the most mundane parts of the planning process fun. Linda also ensures that your wedding day will be problem-free. She works tirelessly to make sure that any last-minute issues are handled by her-- and not you. When it looked like it would monsoon on our wedding day, she sprung into action, contacted vendors, made last-minute changes, and kept us all calm. Finally, Linda will go above and beyond the call of duty for you. She even helped my husband find a house for his bachelor party in Savannah! In summary, we highly recommend Amanda Rose weddings. She will help you make your wedding day everything you dreamed it would be.

Linda was exceptional and was able to adapt, remain positive and work miracles when we asked her for last minute changes and additions (including a welcome reception!) up until days before the wedding.

She always had this neat little details advices and suggestions that would make a world of difference. Linda knew every single details of my dream wedding, probably more than my bestfriends did. On the day, she orchestrated EVERYTHING perfectly, including seating the guests on time , lining up the wedding party, minister, musicians and she still didn't forget to adjust the tail of my gown and told me "enjoy your moment and don't worry about anything else, I got it" After I heard that I was able to let go of everything and truly enjoy the magical moment. During the introduction and reception, believe it or not, I never had to answer ANY questions of where things should be and what lineups of introduction would I prefer and if I would like them to dance or how I would like to walk? Linda's got it all planned out just as how I like it. Speech time? Linda would go get the bestman and the maid of honor, prepare them and send them off to stage. Dance time? Linda would come get both me and my husband no matter where we were, Cutting cake time? she'd tell us of how to cut it the easy way 5 seconds before quests started circling so we won't embarrass ourselves. These are VERY important reasons why I love Linda, she made it possible for me to truly enjoy my wedding day. I can truly say that I did not have to worry about anything throughout the day. I got to eat, dance, talk to my quests and have lots of fun on my day. It was incredible. I also purchased the decor service from her. She did and amazing job turning the simple beach shore house to a gorgeous reception site. The candles, the drapes, the lightings, altogether gave the most romantic ambiance to the place!

Once vendor selection was complete, I felt consistently guided to stay on task and to keep to the wedding timeline.

I will start my review by first saying that Amanda Rose Weddings has more than one planner and our experience might be different with another planner at the company. Linda was our planner and although she truly knowledgeable she was a nightmare...
to work with. She is has a aggressive personality that looking back was not a good fit for our wedding. I am a person who likes working with vendors who truly care about the outcome of your wedding and not the business of wedding planning. I felt that what I wanted didn't matter and she wanted me to select her ideas and vendors, when I went a different direction she had an attitude about our selections. One of the other vendors that we worked with explained her best with "what you see is what you get". She has a very strong personality and if you think you might be an emotional bride please do not select her as your planner. She is cold and I do not think she smiled once the day of our wedding. When we were ready for the garter toss and bouquet toss she was no where to be found and our photographer had to step in. Even tough we were told we did not need to confirm with our vendors, I did anyway and caught to HUGE mistakes when I confirmed. At the end of our wedding we had to apologize to our friends and family that felt that she was rude and disrespectful - not what you have in mind for your wedding day. We are thankful to all of our other vendors who did an amazing job and filled in all of the spaces that our planner left wide open. Linda was helpful when it came to negotiating costs and the did a great job with the rehearsal. She has a famous timeline (that all the vendors seem to know about) but struggles with fixing things on on fly if its not planned which is surprising when you are in event planning where more likely than not, things typically do not always go as planned.

We enjoyed our day - we TRULY enjoyed every stage, step, picture, toast . . . because of Linda, her expert staff and Amanda Rose Weddings. Trust in her experience and you won't be disappointed.

I got married last summer on June 27, 2009 in Hilton Head, South Carolina and had the amazing opportunity to work with Amanda Rose Weddings. Overall, we had a wonderful experience as the team contributed to an unforgettable event and lifelong ...
memories. The day was a perfect celebration for my husband and me to begin our lives together. We hired Amanda Rose for help with vendor selection, planning and wedding day execution. The team also helped a lot with design ideas; the Amanda Rose team is very creative and has an abundance of unique and fabulous ideas. For example, they created a beautiful candy buffet for us and an itinerary to put in our gift bags (with ribbon that matched our colors perfectly). In addition to being a joy to work with, Amanda Rose Weddings is extremely organized, knowledgeable and reliable. The team kept my husband and me on track during the day of the wedding and nothing planned was forgotten. We could not have accomplished this on our own!! Additionally, we are from New York City and could not focus on a thorough vendor search in Hilton Head; however, through Amanda Rose Weddings we were introduced to amazing vendors including a florist and a photographer. I highly recommend Amanda Rose Weddings to any bride and groom.
