Hidden Host Events LLC

First and foremost, if you are thinking of hiring a planner, hire Amanda immediately. We hired Amanda part way into our planning process (already hired most of our vendors & venue) and it truly was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. I am very organized and often called type A and I was already starting to feel stressed. I felt like I was going to miss big things leading up to our day (details, payments etc.) and we just had so many questions about different aspects of our wedding and she came right in and immediately put us at ease. She was on top of every single detail from start to finish. We made adjustments along the way and she guided us through every step, got quotes on additional vendors and made it possible for us to make decisions without doing all the leg work, which is critical when you both have crazy schedules! When the week of our wedding came, I was so calm and the days leading up to the wedding I had about six different vendors tell me I was a very relaxed/calm/chill bride and that really was 100% because of Amanda. I knew she had everything under control and I did not have to worry. We ultimately did have a few hiccups morning of and by the time I found out about them, she had it taken care of, it was amazing! Multiple of our guests said our wedding day was the smoothest and best flowing wedding they have ever been to and I couldn’t agree more. As you can tell, we really cannot say enough good things about Amanda and her team, she was an absolute rock star for us.

If you are even remotely considering having a planner/day of coordinator, you absolutely need to talk to Amanda at Hidden Host Events. She was outstanding on so many levels, and took so much of the stress and questioning out of the process for my husband and I. Here's the deal- I've been to weddings, but it was a totally different ballgame to be planning one. You can't anticipate all of the questions and little details that will come up. Amanda and her team are absolute pros- it is so reassuring to have someone in your corner to either answer questions or help you find answers- someone who is so familiar with the industry and wedding scene in Rhode Island. We got married in Narragansett, but were planning from across the country. Amanda helped us all along the way, and when crunch time came in the final stages of planning, she was always there when we needed her. She is so organized- she has planning tools and spreadsheets to organize answers to questions you probably haven't thought of. A day-of coordinator is actually the first vendor we started our process with- and we conferenced with many different people to find the right person. I loved Amanda's down-to-earth approach, honesty, and realistic view of planning a wedding. Her pricing and options offer transparent flexibility in the level of help you need. There were many nice planners we spoke to that made us feel like if were weren't planning a $100,000+ wedding, we weren't their target audience. Amanda made it clear that she can plan any type of wedding as long as people are honest and realistic about expectations. Another selling point for Hidden Host was the trove of items they have in storage- I loved the idea of not buying a ton of things I would use once (and then have to ship across the country). In short, Amanda and Hidden Host will make your wedding more organized and awesome and she will take care of you so you actually get to enjoy your wedding!

Amanda made my wedding day perfect. She helped me every step of the way with every little detail. She kept me calm and made sure nothing was forgotten at all of our vendor appointments. My wedding day would not have been so amazing without her help. She took all my ideas and things I collected over the months and created a space that looked like a dream. If you are on the fence with getting a planner..do it, and get Amanda!

Amanda was the first event coordinator I spoke with and I remember at the end of our first phone conversation saying to her "I mean... I don't really need to think about this at all, I feel like we're really going to get along really well and I like you already so can I just say okay now and we'll get the contract going?". Trust your gut, she is incredible. I will be saying thank you to Amanda for years to come. Not only is she an amazing person, fun to be around and genuinely positive, she knows what she is doing when it comes to wedding planning. I asked for her advice and opinion often and trusted her with everything. She has this amazing app she developed that kept me so organized I was impressed by myself and need it for my life. You hear horror stories about seating charts, I had a blast using her app to create our seating chart. She was on top of EVERYTHING. The timeline she creates for your wedding day is so impressive there is no room for anything to go wrong and nothing did, the day was absolutely perfect. She was there for the rehearsal and many of our wedding party took the time to say "Wow, she's got this covered", yep... listen to Amanda and all will be fine. Same with the wedding day, many people mentioned how amazing she was for various reasons, her hard work did not go unnoticed by us or our family and friends. Amanda was SO attentive day of, making sure we had anything and everything we needed and even bustling my dress many times! I felt so confident passing off all of our decor and trusted her to make many day of decisions on how things looked, she knew what I was going for and she nailed it. Having a team like Amanda's that you trust to ensure your day is perfect takes so much of the stress away, I was truly able to enjoy every second of our wedding day and weekend. I felt confident in the team we had and they proved me right. The entire process would not have been as much fun for me without Amanda as part of it. I highly suggest you book Hidden Host Events for your wedding!
