You’re not just planning a wedding. You’re creating a full experience for yourselves and the people you care about most.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Amanda, founder of Curora Weddings. I’ve spent more than 20 years in hospitality and events, and I bring that depth of experience into every wedding I plan. I work with couples across the Hudson Valley, Berkshires, the Capital Region of New York, and surrounding areas to help bring structure, calm, and confidence to the planning process.
Most of my couples are planning a weekend celebration. They want a planner who can take the lead, manage the details, and make sure everything feels personal, intentional, and well-executed.
My approach is hands-on, experience-driven, and focused on making sure the entire process is clear and stress-free.
That means:
Customized timelines built around your day, your venue, and your priorities
Vendor communication handled with clarity and follow-through
A thoughtful approach to how your day flows for you and your guests
Smart planning decisions made early, so you’re not scrambling later
Whether you need full planning or support closer to the day, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you through what’s next. You won’t have to chase down answers, guess what’s normal, or figure it all out on your own.
This is your wedding, and it should feel like it from start to finish.
Curora Weddings & Events is a Scotia, NY-based wedding planner helping couples plan the celebration of their dreams.

Amanda Trackey
Founder and Lead Planner
Hi, I’m Amanda, founder of Curora Weddings and a hospitality pro with over 20 years of experience in planning, catering, and running events that actually flow.
I bring structure, calm, and personality to the planning process. I care about the logistics, the energy, and the guest experience just as much as the design. I'm not here to sell you a vision that doesn't fit. I'm here to help you create a wedding that feels like you, with no second-guessing along the way.
I’m direct, thoughtful, and fully involved from start to finish. You’ll never have to chase me down or wonder what’s next. Whether you need full planning or day-of support, I’ll make sure your wedding is not only beautiful, but also seamless, well-paced, and grounded in what matters.
Outside of Curora Weddings, I also run Curora Studio, supporting venues, restaurants, and creative teams behind the scenes. I’ve seen what works from both sides of the aisle, and I bring that insight into every event I plan.
I live in Upstate New York with my husband and two boys, and I know how valuable it is to have someone in your corner who just gets it.
I can't wait to hear more about you!

Amanda and her team were incredible to work with. We chose month of coordination and the value we got from this package far exceeded our expectations. Amanda's guidance and assista...
nce helped put us at ease throughout the planning process, including helping us narrow down our vision for the wedding day. She truly listened to what we wanted, provided some suggestions, without making us feel pressured to make decisions that were outside of our vision. Our family and friends were extremely impressed with Amanda's organization and warmth that she brought to the wedding day. Her team went above and beyond to predict our needs, ensuring we could just enjoy our day. She even managed to hot glue a guest's shoe back together so they could continue dancing!

Trust us when we say — you NEED Amanda on your team when planning and executing a wedding. She is nothing short of amazing, in fact we have not stopped talking about her since our ...
wedding 1 week ago! She helped with the planning process, helping us to consider things that never crossed our minds and communicating with our vendors to really relieve the inevitable stressors as the wedding approached. She made all of the planning exciting and fun. What was truly remarkable was her execution on our wedding day itself. Anything we needed, she was there with it before we could even ask. The day was so smooth and we 100% have her to thank for that. She is hands down the best investment we made and we couldn’t imagine our perfect day without her. We actually think she is priceless. Thank you so much Amanda (and her lovely assistant Allie) for everything! We could not recommend Curora more.

Amanda is nothing short of amazing. I am not sure I have enough words to describe how truly incredible she is. My (now) husband and I booked Amanda as our wedding coordinator for o...
ur October 4th wedding at Saratoga National Golf Club. To preface I am a very type-A person but I knew my wedding day was not the day to try to do it all myself! Amanda is the full package. She helped us with all of our vendor communications, Wedding-day timeline, rehearsal walk throughs, day-of reminders, communication with the bridal party, parents, she even made me the most perfect day-of wedding playlist while I was getting ready! (Something so small but SO helpful!!!) The list goes on… she thinks of all the little things throughout the day that you won’t think of has a solution for any concern or problem. Her attention to detail Is unmatched, she had an extremely organized and aesthetically pleasing website personalized for my husband and I that had everything we needed from our vendor contracts to our timeline and important contacts. She is also a master of her trade!! She is PREPARED for anything and everything. Her knowledge of the wedding industry, recommendations and understanding is simply incredible. A wedding coordinator was a hard sell for my husband but just a week out from our wedding he looked at me and said “Wow, I’m so glad we have Amanda.” She is the kindest, most professional and understanding of every situation. She makes you feel comfortable and EXCITED about your big day. When you work with Amanda, it is guaranteed that your day will go smoothly. I wanted to enjoy myself and not have to think about ANYTHING other than marrying the love of my life. When you work with Amanda that’s the peace of mind you get. From communicating with the transportation company to steaming my veil and touching me up throughout my reception and reminding us to eat (!!!) there is no stone left unturned. I cannot recommend Amanda enough, if you are working with her you are in the best hands.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda and Curora Weddings and Events. Amanda went above and beyond for us at the last minute when we were feeling completely overwhelmed...
trying to get everything together for my son and future daughter-in-law. She literally dropped what she was doing, came over to my house, and helped us pull together details I wasn’t sure we’d manage in time.
Her professionalism is matched only by her kindness. From in-person support to virtual meetings with the couple, she made the process smooth and stress-free. I was blown away by her organization, creativity, and calm presence. What could have been a stressful situation turned into a joyful and exciting experience thanks to her.
If you are looking for someone who truly cares, is detail-oriented, and will treat your big day as if it were her own, I cannot recommend Curora Weddings and Events
enough. We are so grateful for her heart and her talent, and I know she will bless any couple she works with.

TLDR version of this review is if you are planning a wedding, hiring Amanda is arguably the best use of your money! She may have been the biggest difference maker in how our big da...
y turned out (AMAZING) and how much we just got to enjoy the day instead of worrying or being nervous about anything (we were not at all, thanks to Amanda).
Here's the longer version:
We are a couple living in Manhattan and we were planning a wedding up in Bolton Landing (Lake George). Since we've been to the venue many times (it's a restaurant) in the past and it was going to be a very small wedding (20-25 guests), I thought we could handle the planning and coordinating. And honestly speaking, we were handling it relatively well... but we were also under a lot of stress trying to make sure we coordinated everything from logistics of family flying in from a foreign country and friends traveling from various states, arriving on different days.
Then our photographer suggested that we hire Amanda because she wanted us to be present and just enjoy our day with each other instead of worrying about who is arriving when and if the charter bus we ordered is going to show up on time and anything else that could deviate from a well crafted plan. And the moment we spoke to Amanda, we knew we needed to hire her and what a difference she made. From the weeks leading up to the wedding to the wedding day itself, she kept everything in line and we were able to fully enjoy the big day without worrying about anything. We knew that if we needed ANYTHING, Amanda would take care of it.
I cannot stress how much of a game changer Amanda's presence has been for our wedding. Even if you think you have everything under control, I really urge you to consider hiring Amanda to coordinate your wedding. She was remarkable in every way possible and I honestly cannot describe in words how much we appreciated her.
