We cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda! From the moment we started planning, she brought organization, creativity, and calm to what could have been an overwhelming process. Amanda took the time to understand our vision for a vintage/ holiday-themed wedding and made it so magical. Every detail was carefully thought out, and she helped with great vendor recommendations. On the wedding day, Amanda went above and beyond—not only ensuring everything ran smoothly but also helping with cleanup after the celebration and holding onto our possessions until we could pick them up the next day. It was such a relief to know we were in such capable hands, even after the festivities had ended.

It was a pleasure to work with Amanda from our very first meeting. She helped us find our dream venue right away, after months of searching unsuccessfully on our own. She was a calming presence throughout the (at times stressful) planning process and was very organized with great attention to detail. Amanda was respectful of our budget which was important to us and helped us get creative to stay within it. With her help, we had a flawless wedding day!
We also loved being able to support her as a female entrepreneur building her business and her brand. We would recommend Amanda to anyone for help planning their wedding!
Any questions?

We used East Coast Creative for their day-of services, but they were amazing even before the big day. From the beginning, they really helped our vision come to life with fantastic recommendations and creative ideas.
The team's professionalism, attention to detail, and seamless coordination ensured everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. They handled all the behind-the-scenes logistics, allowing us to enjoy the day stress-free. It was clear they truly cared about making the day perfect.
Even though we only hired East Coast Creative for day-of services, they went above and beyond to assist us prior to the wedding, offering advice and support. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to help make our day as special as it was.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will bring your vision to life and make the process enjoyable, we highly recommend East Coast Creative! Thank you for everything!

I cannot say enough great things about Amanda, she was attentive, funny, down to earth, caring, professional, affordable, and made the entire wedding planning process so easy. I had ZERO doubts that she would get the job done and that she would get things handled for us. I felt like I gained a friend and that this wasn't just a job for her, she TRULY cared about us. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to everyone!

Amanda always amazes me with her outstandingly beautiful and unique design! Amanda has the standard qualities necessary for a successful wedding planner. She's organized, professional, personable... But where she truly shines is her ability to execute creative and STUNNINGLY designed weddings!! Her attention to detail is unmatched. And on top of that, she's a great person to have on your side through the wedding planning process and on your big day! Let's face it, the planning process and the day of the wedding can be a little stressful. Amanda calms all those nerves and let's you truly enjoy your day! 10 stars!

Planning a wedding is absolutely exhausting. It’s so important that you have someone on your team that is kind, patient, detail-oriented.
The best thing I can say about Amanda is that she doesn’t need to be told a single thing twice.
Your tiniest details will be remembered and executed.
I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be to manage the ego you will have planning your big day
My wife and I would be sitting here forever looking for something more we could’ve expected from Amanda, or some way our wedding and everything before and after could’ve been better.
We are so grateful to her for giving us the day we always dreamed of.
You should be so lucky to have her in charge of the most important day of your life.
I will be grateful to you forever, Amanda
kindly

Amanda is the absolute best!! Creative vision and design, organized in the planning and execution of an event... and all with a big smile on her face!
I am a wedding officiant in town, Amanda and I planned a styled shoot and networking event in the Fall of 2023. First, after touring the venue, Amanda created a design and theme for the event that was totally unique... Saratoga X Charleston. The historic space in Charleston was a beautiful backdrop to the event! Amanda carefully curated a beautiful style board.
We had 30 vendors that contributed their products and services to the styled shoot and networking event. Everything from dresses, suits, florals, stationary, decore, candles, custom perfumes, photobooth, marquee letters, balloon arches, etc. Amanda was perfectly able to bring her original vision to life, with the contributions and unique styles of each of the participating vendors.
The styled shoot was then topped off with a networking event for wedding vendors, to which we had approximately 180 attendees. It was a real feat, none of which would have been remotely possible without Amanda.
If you are looking for a wedding planner with truly unique and beautiful design ideas, the ability to execute the ideas and bring them to life, and the experience to manage the planning and day of process, Amanda is your girl. I feel extraordinarily lucky to have worked with Amanda so closely this last year, and I look forward to seeing all the beautiful events she executes in the years to come!
