FOUNDER AND LEAD PLANNER
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!

Our day was completely flawless because of Amanda! She checked in with me every step of the way while planning to make sure I didn’t forget any small detail. She has great connections with other vendors that made my process stress free. The day of she was always one step ahead so my husband and I actually got to relax and enjoy our day. I would definitely recommend her for any event you have in the future. You won’t regret it!
Any questions?

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 day 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.
