I cannot recommend Amy more. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. She really does become your planning best friend and will be a friend for life! She listens and executes your vision perfectly, while making sure you and your partner are feeling good about the entire process. Day of, she is behind the scenes making sure everything is running smoothly even if it rains or the schedule is different than originally planned. She has your back!
Working with Amy was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment I told her my vision during our consultation call, she made us feel truly cared for and we trusted her implicitly. The bouquet bar she ended up creating for my bridesmaids completely surpassed my expectations and is a memory I will cherish forever. Amy's team also created a stunning floral arbor for our ceremony with very little guidance on our part, and while I might be biased, I think it is one of the most beautiful arbors I've ever seen. I can't recommend Amy more highly!!
I have so many good things to say about Amy and Amy Marie Events! We used Amy as both our wedding planner and wedding florist and she completely knocked it out of the park on both! We really could not have planned the wedding we did without her help and expertise. She made planning our wedding so easy and so fun! She is so kind and easy to work with and really understood our vision. When ever people would asked me if I was stressed wedding planning I would always tell them, "Nope! Amy makes it easy!". She has a fantastic eye for design and took everything we suggested and completely elevated it to a level that we couldn't have come close to if we'd tried to plan it ourselves. If you're planning a wedding, just put your trust in Amy and it will come out above and beyond what you could have ever hoped. Not only is she a fantastic planner but she is also a fantastic florist! Her florals took my breath away and are the first thing people mention to me when they talk about my wedding. The flowers she selected looked so fresh and the colors were so lovely. They were truly stunning and looked straight out of a fairy tale. We are so grateful for Amy and her AME team!
I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am for meeting Amy and her fabulous AME team. She worked so incredibly hard for us to have the very best wedding day, and it was truly magical. She took my vision and brought it to life in ways that I could not have even imagined. Her design and inspiration for our wedding first appeared on a (stunning) mood board that she sent us, but I really couldn't believe how real she made it on the big day. She was always easy to get in touch with, and has the most calming presence during the stress that is wedding planning. I wanted a wedding planner whom I felt comfortable texting a photo to, or calling up and saying "Hey what about this idea," and I got that in Amy. She has a large team that was also there on our wedding day, and they functioned like a well-oiled machine. From helping me bustle my dress, to bringing coffee, to organizing our loud and large wedding party, they did it all. Kate and Laura in particular were both lovely to work with on the wedding day, and a powerhouse themselves. Josh (Amy's husband) was the engineer of the whole wedding and from hanging neon, to suspended florals, you name it and he could do it. I would recommend Amy Marie Events more than any other vendor we worked with, and that is saying a lot as I feel as if all of our vendors were top notch. Even for the vendors that I was unsure of who to hire initially, Amy had the best recommendations possible and got me in contact with them easily - making for an all star lineup on our wedding day. I could honestly go on and on about how much I love Amy Marie Events, but in summary, if you are looking for a "professional friend" to guide you through wedding planning, take the stress off of you, and have fun while planning your big day, look no further than Amy Marie and her fabulous team.
I’m not sure where to begin, Amy and her team are simply unmatched. I came into this wedding thinking it would be silly to have or need a wedding planner for a 150-ish person wedding. Me being a project manger in my professional career along with being an insanely type A personality should’ve been enough! I look back and there is no way our wedding could’ve been as stress free and spectacular without Amy’s vision, expertise and wonderful personality. While I was very go with the flow on design (which is not typical of me!) I knew exactly what I wanted the day to be like, and she delivered and then some.
Amy will be as hands on or as hands off as you want. She handled much of our vendor negotiations and relationships which in it of itself was a HUGE and pretty annoying task. When you pick a venue that has nothing there other than the place to get married you don’t think about the 7+ vendors you’ll need to contract and work with. Add covid to be mix and we had a downright logistics nightmare!
My parents, the amazing people who paid for our wedding, live 6 hours away from me and our venue. Amy didn’t let that stop her from also putting their mind at ease and having them involved every step of the way. My parents actually only met her in person one other time before the wedding. She made it that easy.
Amy also did our florals, which dealing with 7+ vendors it was nice to get two lumped together! They were unbelievable. Just simply gorgeous. We gave her a budget and some simple suggestions and BAM vision came to life.
As I mentioned, I was at first skeptical and questioning the cost. Was it worth it? 1000%. Was the cost justified? 1000%. This is definitely an investment but my husband and my only job was to show up and be blown away. Mission accomplished. Thank you Amy and team for a spectacular event!
Amy Marie Events is the best! As the mother of the bride, a daughter's wedding is super special and Amy helped us with most of the details with integrity and professionalism. Amy did all the florals for the wedding and reception as well. They were the most gorgeous flowers we've ever seen. Every detail was perfect. It was just stunning!!! We were so blessed to have Amy help us make so many special memories. She is caring and personable and very knowledgeable in her field. She handles everything with grace and gives a hundred percent of her time to her brides and their families. Thank you so much Amy Marie for all you helped us accomplish and for how special each and every detail was! Your the best and we feel like you are part of our family now!
Meeting Amy with Amy Marie Events was an ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS! She served as both our floral designer and day-of coordinator for our wedding. I'm the girl who has dreamed about her wedding day since she was a little girl. I knew the exact theme, style, color palette, and atmosphere my husband and I dreamt of for our special day. The first day Amy and I met, I showed her my entire wedding Pinterest board and shared the vision of our day. Fast forward to October 26, 2019...my wedding was even more magical than all of the photos I showed her on Pinterest. It honestly felt like a FAIRYTALE. Every detail was absolutely PERFECT.
Amy is genuine, enthusiastic, caring, reliable, an incredible communicator and listener, organized, pays attention to detail, has the sweetest soul, and shines so bright. Her HEART OF GOLD is contagious.
I hired Amy because she understands the impact flowers can make on an event, and I wanted flowers everywhere! She appreciated my vision and recognized the beauty in creating floral arrangements. You can definitely see the sparkle in her eyes when she talks flowers with you, and I loved this about her! I knew finding peonies during the fall season would be a challenge, but Amy worked her magic and our wedding was a PEONY WONDERLAND. I still get butterflies when I think about it! I CRIED REAL TEARS when Amy presented my bridal bouquet the morning of our wedding. It was one of the floral pieces I was most excited about. We designed it together, and it was even better than I imagined. She blew my Pinterest inspiration out of the water, and made all of my FLORAL DESIGN DREAMS COME TRUE.
Amy was extremely accommodating throughout the entire planning process. She always made herself available for ideas, questions, and recommendations. She was an incredible listener, mentor, and friend throughout the wedding planning process. She worked effortlessly to meet all of our expectations, and she treated our wedding day as if it was her own. During each planning meeting, Amy soaked in every idea and detail I disclosed with her, walking me through how we could achieve this idea, and how we could work it into our budget. There were a lot of moving parts that made our wedding day unique. She was completely on top of the schedule we created and made adjustments accordingly. Amy and her team remained organized, calm, and shared a smile with everyone they interacted with. They built a strong relationship with each of our vendors allowing each team we hired to work effortlessly and cohesively throughout the entirety of our day. She was a SHINING LIGHT on the best day of my life bringing myself, as well as my mom so much peace and comfort. She made a positive impact on my family and close friends.
Amy knew my faith was very important to me. Minutes before I walked down to aisle to marry my best friend in the whole wide world, she encouraged my bridal party, parents, and mother-in-law to PRAY OVER ME and our future marriage. This act of kindness truly meant the world to me. My family and friends continue to highlight this moment from our wedding day. Her prayer was emotional, genuine, and full of joy. Something I will never forget.
I'm holding back tears writing her review as Amy was truly an answer to my prayers. I am beyond blessed that Amy and her team entered my life when they did. She became a friend, and continues to be a role model. Amy, thank you for all you accomplished for us. Thank you for being YOU.

Made the wedding of my dreams come to life!
Amy and her team are beyond, BEYOND amazing! I wish I had the words to really get my happiness across...or could reach across the screen and shake whatever bride is looking for the perfect florist/event planner and say "GO WITH AMY!! IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY!"
I found out about Amy through a wedding show and immediately hit it off with her and knew she was the one that would make my wedding dreams come to life. She goes above and beyond during every step of the wedding planning process. Me being indecisive even had some changes last minute and Amy still crushed it and got it to become reality! I loved working with her and will do it again in the future whether it's for a business event, flowers, etc! She coordinated with my schedule, made everything seem and feel so effortless and easy, and ensured that all the other vendors were on top of their jobs too! I swear I still get compliments to this day about how our wedding was the best wedding my guests had ever attended. My father-in-law even told me (in front of my future sister in laws) that no event would even come close to how great that wedding was! The VENDORS even had a great time --everyone (and I mean everyone) was dancing, laughing and smiling the entire night. It wouldn't have been possible without Amy, Josh and their team.
Seriously- so punctual, on time and on point with everything, creative beyond what I could ever imagine, sweet as can be and worth every single penny.
Amy and her team were excellent!! She was of the utmost professional! She and her team keep the day flowing well, they are so helpful in all situations. Thanks to Amy Marie events for all the resources organizing and prompt response, with a happy attitude. Highly recommend her!!!!
I would highly recommend AME to anyone for their wedding needs! My wedding was affected by COVID and Amy helped make it happen!! Amy is so professional, personable and tasteful!! She was easy to communicate with and worked with all my ideas. The day of she was on time and made the experience SO much easier in every way. My flowers and decor were all so beautiful and multiple guests even commented on the look and design. She came prepared and steamed all the tuxes and dresses then helped with a few other wardrobe mishaps throughout the night. She made sure my new husband and I had fun at the wedding while taking care of any issues that came up. I can’t say enough good things about her and her team.
Amy Marie Events was able to make my wedding memorable by creating a unique garden for my ceremony. She used potted plants with multiple species of colors, textures and flowers to accentuate the outdoor ceremony site and then the banquet tables for the reception and dinner. She was even able to incorporate a special pink rose that grew in my grandmother's garden. Guests could then take living plants home as gifts. I got so many complements afterward on the unique and beautiful centerpieces. Amy Marie Events helped make it an unforgettable evening!
Amy Marie Events has been here serving our clients on numerous occasions. They have consistently delivered excellent customer service. Are you looking for someone to design and detail your special day? I highly recommend that you reach out to Amy with Amy Marie Events. Go ahead and schedule a visit over coffee to hear all that they have to offer you and your sweetie as you plan the best day ever! I promise you it will be one of the best decisions you make.
I have had the joy and privilege of seeing Amy and Josh style many events, including multiple of my family's events and corporate events, but most importantly, my wedding!! If there's one way I can describe her and her work it would be that she makes visions become reality even when you don't know what your exact vision is. She sat down with me and made sense of my vague vision and brought my wedding day dreams to life.
She brings a fresh spirit and joyful attitude to everyone at any event and that same love for her job (and people) shines through in every aspect of the one-on-one planning, as well. No matter the event, it's as if every event is a brand new one to her and she always has the best ideas! She and Josh also know the perfect vendors to contact for quality work and value for your money. I adore them both. Highly recommend to anyone- anywhere in need of a wedding, corporate, or private event for either planning and/or styling and florals!!
I would give this review a million stars if I could. Amy nailed my vision 110%. The booking process was super easy and when she sent over the proposal I was in awe because she created exactly what I envisioned. When they arrived with the florals my jaw hit the floor, We got SO many compliments on how beautiful the arch was and the bouquets. If you’re thinking about booking .... GO FOR IT. You won’t be disappointed!!
