Amelia Lawrence Weddings

Without Amy, our wedding day wouldn’t have been quite as fabulous! It was truly a blessing to have worked with her throughout the final stages of planning. In addition, she designed a beautiful headpiece for me and earrings for my bridesmaids. It was an honor to have her be part of our day! Look no further for the best planner/designer/wedding GURU in the DC area...dare I say the entire east coast? Seriously! Thank you Amy!

As a local floral designer, it is a pleasure to work with Amelia Lawrence Weddings. Amy is extremely organized and her design expertise is truly amazing. She can see the clients vision and know exactly how to bring it all together, down to the smallest detail. Amy tells you how, why and who....let me explain. She tells you 'how' to execute your vision while staying within your desired budget. She then explains the why of the design: palette, scale, etc. Then Amy will direct you to the perfect vendors. She offers all of her clients a wonderful online planning & design tool called 'Aisle Planner'. My clients that work with Amy's Aisle Planner absolutely love this program. I highly recommend Amy of Amelia Lawrence Weddings as one of the best in the wedding planning business!

All I can say is Amelia Lawrence Weddings is amazing! Amy did an outstanding job planning our wedding from start to finish -- not an easy task! With our wedding only three days after Christmas, keeping the Holiday Season "in check" was most definitely not something I could do on my own . . . To start off, She and I talked about an evening wedding design lit by white lights and candles. Her design also included navy blue, white/ivory, burgundy and silver, complimented with lush greenery. Even though we were married so close to Christmas, her design ensured the overall wedding feel to be "wintery" and not "Christmas-y". She brought in fresh Christmas trees from a local farm and filled the venue space with this amazing, classy winter wonderland feel. It was truly unbelievable and beyond my expectations. Next, She reviewed menus, booked the caterer, and even brought things to my attention that I had not considered. She also incorporated her design with the florist to create simple, yet lovely bouquets that complimented the ambiance. She has a wonderful ability to work with multiple vendors to create a consistent wedding design! The wedding day was all I had hoped for. When I walked down the aisle and saw all of the white lights, tulle, candles, and fresh roses hanging from the pews, I was elated. It was truly breathtaking. Working with Amy was pleasant and easy. She kept me on track without hovering, and also kept our wedding day on a perfect timeline to ensure everything happened as scheduled. Her sense of style and design is unmatched and I loved everything she did. She went above and beyond to truly create the wedding of my dreams. Trust me . . . hire Amy! You will not be disappointed, and you will get more that what you paid for. She truly pours herself into the Bride's "Big Day" and does whatever it takes to make sure their day is perfect!

Amy is wonderful and was essential in pulling off our highly DIY wedding. From our first meeting she listened to us intently and was enthusiastic in sharing in our vision to pull off our natural, yet elegant, farm field wedding. This was definitely not a simple task. Amy is incredibly responsive and flexible, she kept us on target with check-ins and was consistently available as a sounding board and planning support resource. Both my (now) husband and I loved working with Amy. On our wedding day, I was completely carefree because I was confident that Amy would make sure everything went off exactly as we envisioned it. I highly recommend her!

Amy is the reason my wedding was the most beautiful day of my life. When I started out, I didn't understand what a wedding planner did and wasn't convinced I needed one. Predictably, as a professional and perfectionist, I quickly became overwhelmed. I kept wondering, do all these other brides work?? I was 4 months out from my wedding and couldn't, for the life of me, see how this was going to actually come together. It was a coworker, also planning her wedding, who eventually sat me down for an intervention and recommended Amy. Working with Amy was like having two brides on the job, except that one of us actually knew what she was doing. She was sweet and professional. In one structured meeting, she took stock of progress made, identified what needed immediate attention, and organized us into a plan that took us straight through the day-of. Amy is a natural at design, learning your tastes and style, and elevating it for the occasion. My wedding is the most beautiful I have ever attended. I am certainly biased, but I know not all brides feel that way. Amy can help accomplish that. My husband and I truly adore Amy. She cares about her clients, takes her work seriously, and cares about the success of your wedding day as much as you. I'll miss working with her and couldn't recommend her services enough to the next bride. So please let me do for you, what my sweet coworker did for me. Save your sanity and enjoy this process. Your first step should be a conversation with Amy.

When I was becoming overwhelmed and felt like I wasn't going to be able to pull everything off; Amy came and saved the day! We hired her for design services and month/day-of coordination, and it was the BEST decision we made through out the entire planning process. Amy was such a breath of fresh air and I truly don't know what we would have done without her. She helped me design an intimate and romantic reception, kept me organized and on task, and took charge of our day all while remaining upbeat, organized, and professional. After our wedding ended; my husband and I were still talking about how wonderful it was to have Amy helping us along the way. We can't thank you enough!!

In the beginning stages of my wedding planning process I really debated the value of having a month/day of coordinator. I am so very happy that I decided to book one and that it ended up being Amy with Amelia Lawrence Weddings. I could tell from the beginning that she was a professional; very organized, courteous, and really wanted help create my vision. Her help with the day of timeline and doing the final walk through really made me feel more comfortable and at ease, which I could not put a price tag on -as all brides know, things can be very stressful for the last month leading up to the wedding day especially with working full time during it all. Amy made me feel more secure knowing that if anything went wrong or needing directing she would be there to guide things along. I am happy to say that my wedding day went perfectly (which is hard to say) and I know a lot of that had to do with Amy being there to direct my vendors, bridal party, and our families. I would highly recommend Amy! Thanks again for your services!!

Amy was the best recommendation we got! Many of our other vendors, we found on our own and did a great deal of research on, but not for Amy! It was at the recommendation of our florist and turned out Amy was really such a delight to work with and we were so lucky to have her as a part of our day. Although she was our "month of" coordinator, Amy was helpful throughout the entire planning process. Giving advice for design elements when I was unsure, making recommendations of vendors when we were still struggling to find someone, and answering every crazy question we threw out to her she was there. We trusted her to carry out all the set-up, coordination, and sticky stuff for the day of and she executed everything with grace and flexibility. Even when we had a last minute change of plans, Amy was there to guide all the vendors through it and followed-up with me as needed. I only saw her a few times while I was getting ready but knew everything would move smoothly with her at the helm. I mean if she can put up with our gaggle of goofballs at the rehearsal, she can really handle pretty much anything!! Amy, thank you so much for your work on our special day. It most definitely would not have run as smoothly without you and I likely would have been a big stress ball without you. Because of you we both felt cool, calm, and collected all day long knowing that things would be just right. Thank you again!

We hired Amy for partial planning and month-of coordination. Put simply, Amy is really, REALLY good at what she does. I was a difficult combination of very busy bride (1st year lawyer) and one who has trouble delegating. Amy sent monthly checklist emails, helped keep me on track, offered suggestions, recommended vendors, and helped develop my vision without forcing hers. She makes herself very accessible to her brides, and we talked over text, phone, Facetime, and in person during the planning process. Amy asked lots of questions and we worked through diagrams to make sure she could execute my vision day of without needing to follow up with me. Also, I am not sure if Amy had worked on Jewish weddings before, but she was very sweet and attentive in asking about the various Jewish elements, and making sure she knew what to do with the items, where to put them, and what they were called. She also has lots of great items (large vintage frame, table numbers, etc.) that she lets her brides borrow, which was great and saved us some money! On the day of the wedding, it was like any time something came up that needed to be dealt with, it fell into place before I had time to panic. That was Amy working her magic! My ceremony violinist got stuck in traffic and didn't make it, and I only found out 30 minutes before the ceremony. Amy ran up to ask the DJ if he could hook up his sound system and cover. There is no way I could have done that without a coordinator just a few minutes before my ceremony! The next morning, I woke up, and everything had "magically" made its way back to my car! My only issue was that some of her vendor recommendations didn't work out for me (one was even rude), but that's a preference thing between brides and ultimately she didn't force her recommendations on me and worked well with the vendor team I chose. Thank you Amy for making the planning process so much more manageable and the wedding day, a dream!
