All I can say is wow, what an amazing team to work with! I was truly impressed by how thorough and kind Kim was as well as her assistant Emily. For my big day, I was really only looking for someone to manage the vendors on site but Kim went above and beyond. She was the contact person for everyone about a month out, had only a couple of meetings to make sure we were all on the same page, and then made the ceremony and reception go so incredibly smooth. If anything went wrong, my husband and I never heard a word of it. Not to mention her sense of humor and attention to making the day go well, giving our best man a plastic cup after learning he couldn’t be trusted with a glass one. She always made sure we could actually enjoy our appetizers by giving us a plate, but also have a drink in hand to let loose. Look no further for someone who will not only manage the day flawlessly, but also make you feel well attended to!

If you’re looking for someone who is fast to answer any questions and willing to make your day go smooth, reach out to Kim! The day started off by having to rearrange all the tables because our bridal head table was not big enough. Kim kept me calm and helped me make decisions about changing the layout. My dress started to fall apart and she was right there sewing it up and making sure it stayed for the rest of the night. She made sure I had food and water throughout the day and that all family members were ready for pictures and kept everyone in line and made sure we were on track with everything. Hands down a great experience and would definitely book her again!!!

My wife and I were so so happy working with Kim and D'Amore!
We both felt very overwhelmed at the beginning of planning, and both Kim and Jeanne were great at helping us find vendors that matched what we were looking for. Kim was our day of coordinator for our reception and she was fantastic! She made sure everything ran smoothly and vendors had the info they needed. We didn't need to worry about anything that day thanks to Kim and it was exactly the reception we were hoping for! We cannot recommend Kim, Jeanne and D'Amore enough to anyone looking for wedding planners :)

After my summer of 2023 wedding, I was often asked what I would most recommend when it comes to wedding planning. My answer is and will always be the same, Kim! Kim went above and beyond to make our day enjoyable for us and worry-free from start to finish. She was a great listener throughout the entire planning process and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. Kim had wonderful ideas (that I honestly never would’ve thought of) when it came to the set up and logistics of our day. She was more than willing to run around the morning of to pick up our florals and wedding cakes, and even offered to care for our dogs at home. If you are planning your wedding and in search of a day of coordinator, you need Kim!

Kim was the best coordinator we could’ve asked for leading up to our wedding + the day of! Every single detail, she had it covered. I am the type of person that likes things to go exactly as planned, and with Kim there on my wedding day, I was truly stress-free and knew she had it handled! She was highly available for questions and meetings, had great local vendor connections, and seriously made the day go off without a hitch. We had multiple planning meetings leading up to the wedding, she coordinated the entire schedule for the day, communicated and finalized things with all my vendors, helped set everything up the day of, and it was everything I dreamed of and more. I didn’t really understand how necessary a wedding coordinator was until I worked with Kim, and wow, am I SO glad I did! D’Amore seriously crushed it for our wedding and I absolutely recommend them to any brides looking for a coordinator!

We loved working with Kim on our wedding day! She is incredibly detail-oriented and flexible and worked hard to ensure our wedding vision was brought to life. I had so many details that I didn't finalize until the last 24-48 hours before our wedding day, and Kim didn't even bat an eye, she just rolled with it! At several planning calls with our other vendors, Kim would bring up and help coordinate logistics of how best to accomplish something we had mentioned we wanted done, such as hanging up a neon sign and playing a video on a projector at our venue. Thank you Kim!

When anyone asks in the future what my one piece of wedding planning advice would be, it would be GET A DAY-OF COORDINATOR! from our first meeting with Jeanne, she showed her professionalism and knowledge and made us feel so confident in our planning. She was always a quick message away for any questions we had, and took so much off of our plate when coordinating between vendors, the venue and caterers. Our whole day went off without a hitch and it couldn't have happened without Jeanne.
Vendor response 12/12/2022
Thank you so much, Ethan! You were both so much fun to work with! Thanks for letting us be...
a part of your wedding day!

We honestly can't say enough great things about Jeanne. She was our day-of coordinator, but she did SO MUCH MORE than that. Truly, we don't know what we would have done without her. She was available whenever we needed to talk, went with us to do a walk-through of the venue, coordinated all of our vendors so we didn't have to worry about anything! She went above and beyond in every aspect - planning, coordinating, setting up, tearing down - literally everything.
Jeanne was a huge part of making our day successful and fun and if I could give her 20 stars I would.

Maureen, thank you so much! We enjoyed working with you both on your beautiful reception! ...
Thank you for letting us be a part of your day! It was truly an honor for us!

My wife and I had quite an untraditional structure for our wedding and reception, but our day-of coordinator, Jeanne, took it with stride and helped our day run so smoothly. She provided feedback on our event timeline, and met multiple times with us to ensure everything would go smoothly. During our event, she did a great job looking after "the little things" in the background, which was noticed and appreciated. I would recommend any couple to use her services as she was fantastic and clearly has lots of experience.

William, thank you so much for your kind words! Your reception was so much fun and we love...

I could not imagine planning my wedding without D'Amore Wedding & Event Planning. Jeanne & Kim planned the engagement party of our dreams! They worked diligently to find a gorgeous venue that fit our personalities and our budget. We received endless complements on our event and all of that is due to the diligent planning and attention to detail that Jeanne & Kim provide for their clients.

Kim Harber was our coordinator for our wedding and she went beyond expectations. Kim gave 110% from day one and carried through beautifully. She was very organized and made us feel comfortable from day 1. Kim was easy to get in contact with, which made us feel at ease. She listened to our directions and executed them like a true professional. She is easy to get along with and made sure the day went smooth. Highly recommend! Thank you Kim!

Kim was AMAZING! My wedding was on a family farm and we had to rent everything for our big day. Kim came in towards the end of planning and her and her teammate Jeanine helped reduce our stress and anxiety by 1000%! She was able to connect with all our vendors to ensure that they knew where and what they were doing what needed to be done. Wedding day she was on top of everything, super friendly to our guests , and helped ensure our wedding day went off without and a hitch! THANK YOU KIM! We couldn't have done it without you!

I started developing a timeline a year & a half before the wedding. After my daughter & her fiancé chose their venue & date, she began researching other companies to hire. They made their decisions & signed the contracts, but it wasn't until we were in touch with Jeanne at D'Amore that I realized how much stress we could have saved ourselves if we had turned to them sooner!
She joined us at the meeting with our florist. She used her talents to help decorate the wooden signage & card box. She suggested a local neon sign company. When we were unable to pick up or return it due to our commitments, she happily agreed to handle it for us, in spite of the inconvenience.
She & Kim went to the destination wedding venue 20 days before to become acquainted with it. They made fantastic layout suggestions to us, such as where to have our cake table. It wouldn't surprise me if future brides don't copy it! They never complained when we kept fine tuning & changing how/where we wanted our decor placed, & Jeanne kept detailed notes to ensure they knew what to do.
They kindly suggested decisions we needed to make at various intervals & stayed on top of us if we were coming up on a deadline. They contacted each vendor to confirm details & provided them, as well as the various members of the wedding party, with day-of timelines. They took care of guiding the rehearsal, which could not take place at the wedding site, due to another wedding!
By far, the most help was on the wedding day itself! If you do not book them to help you prior to then, I strongly encourage you to do so for your BIG DAY! There is no way we could have gotten through the event without them. They started putting our decor out early that morning, carefully following our requests. Jeanne suggested & arranged to have the couple's first drinks & a plate of appetizers waiting for them in privacy to enjoy immediately after the recessional. Late in the evening Kim managed to catch a short video of the sparkler exit which had the bride & groom, the bride's son & brother, & both of the moms, which I will cherish forever.
They handled the unexpected situations which arose with grace & expertise. They stayed in touch with me throughout the day only when needed so the bride was able to enjoy herself & not worry about anything. For instance, the baker was supposed to deliver AND set up the cake & desserts at a certain time. They arrived early & left without setting any of it up! Jeanne & Kim took care of it & it looked lovely. Our electrical hook up for the neon light didn't work as we had hoped, but they figured out a different way to do it, without bothering us! A rain shower came through after the chairs had been set up, & they made sure they were all dried off for the ceremony. I could not have handled any of those changes with my responsibilities that day. The timetable got off schedule & they made suggestions as to how we should handle it. Jeanne contacted me to alert me that it was time for the kids to be at the ceremony site, as I had no idea they were late! Lastly, they stayed until every piece of our decor & extra desserts were boxed back up, & in our vehicles. They worked all day long & into the early morning, with smiles on their faces, to ensure my daughter's & her fiancé's vision was carried out.
I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone getting married that you check out D'Amore Wedding and Event Planners. Best wishes to all brides-to-be reading this! Enjoy the planning & marrying.

Working with D’Amore so far as been a huge help! I had no idea where to even start planning a wedding, and after my first initial meeting with Kim and Jeanne it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I ended up choosing their partial planning package. Since then, I’ve been working closely with Kim, and she has been SO helpful, always there to guide me along, reach out to vendors, and answer any questions. I’m now about 7 months out from my wedding and I can’t wait to keep working with D’Amore as it gets closer and we finalize all the details!
