Magnificent Moments Weddings

getting someone for a picture, to grabbing a drink, and making sure we were ready for every moment. Definitely worth every penny!

, what we wanted, and helped us stay on track. She was detail oriented and helped us figure out aspects of our wedding that we hadn't considered. We also appreciated that she was able to give us ideas on what to do when we were stumped. At the rehearsal and day of the wedding, I had absolutely no worries and didn't have to answer any questions-- Amanda took care of everything! Best of all, she made sure that hubby and I always had a cocktail in hand during the reception. Our families also said they appreciated how organized she was and that they enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend hiring MMW for your wedding! She was worth every penny.

at is a really hard thing to trust someone else with but Amanda was great! She helped me plan for things I didn't even think of and she was a huge support when my friends and family were tapped out on opinions. I really think Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect! Brittni, who works with Magnificent Moments, also did our flowers. It was a huge perk to have both of them working together (and for me to have one less vendor to worry about). Amanda was trustworthy, easy to get in touch with, and had our best interest in mind. We 100% recommend Amanda (and Brittni)!

list of recommended vendors they provided was very helpful! Only negatives were our coordinator did have to ask us lots of questions the day of the wedding, and also we were recommended to have two extra assistants the day of, but I felt they were not as helpful as they could have been. They were on their phones a lot throughout the day and needed lots of direction from our coordinator.

we cannot imagine our wedding day without Shelby to ensure everything went perfectly. She was so effortlessly on top of all of the moving parts – from coordinating and confirming with each of our vendors in the weeks leading up to our wedding to putting together a jigsaw of a day-of timeline and ensuring our ceremony went ever so smoothly. Booking Shelby was easily one of the best decisions we made and we are so thankful to her!

of! I would 100% recommend using Amanda! She helped make our space look beautiful and anything we needed on wedding day - she was right there to help and got it done so quickly! She is amazing and super sweet to work with!

ce to say, I needed to find someone competent, kind, organized, and experienced to clean up that mess but also get me to the finish line in less than three months. The event director at my venue sent me their list of preferred providers to help out and I called them ALL but MMW stood out. When I emailed Amanda and then had a phone call with her a little later, I was honestly sold - a little scared still, but I knew they were different. At this point of my planning, I was truly just ready for my wedding to be over, I’d spent so much money on the first planner, I was trying to pick up the pieces from my home in California while the wedding was in North Carolina, and I was just honestly distraught at the whole situation. Amanda was calm, straightforward, and funny and she got what I was looking for immediately. She was BEYOND understanding of my hesitation to work with another planning team and I knew I needed someone though so I signed with MMW - I’m glad I did! Amanda directed me to Shelby, who was going to be my coordinator. The highest compliment I can pay to anyone is to say that they work hard and they care and Shelby is the hardest working, most thoughtful woman in the biz! From the moment we were connected, she jumped in and got us organized and moving. She is direct, honest, friendly, and organized - exactly what every bride needs and especially what I needed. She answered my many MANY questions promptly and thoughtfully and never made me feel like I was bothering her, it was honestly like talking with an old friend. The day of my wedding, there were some minor hiccups and Shelby handled everything like a pro. I honestly had no idea until after the ceremony because she was so committed to us just enjoying our day and having no stress. If I had to choose one moment as the most impactful, I’d say … Our wedding was inadvertently the same weekend as the Taste of Charlotte festival so there were road closures, tents, bouncy houses, you name it, all around our venue. There was even one in full view of our ceremony site through the windows. I didn’t want the curtains down because the full wall windows are gorgeous and the lighting would have been better but I didn’t want a bouncy house in my photos either.. Shelby literally went down to the operators to ask them to deflate the house during the ceremony so we would have the perfect view and they came through. This is the epitome of above and beyond to me! And my photos will be lovely, full of light, with no kids bouncing through the air in the background ;) My parents were both super impressed by MMW from start to finish and both remarked on how much they could tell Shelby cared about delivering us the perfect day. Our guests had a blast and we got several comments that everything ran smoothly and that’s definitely thanks to Shelby. I could honestly write a small novel about how great it was to be an MMW Bride but wrap it up - I would definitely recommend Shelby and the MMW team!

rook and only have the highest praise for her and her team. Amanda is hard working, detail oriented, professional and fun to work with! She helped me figure out what I wanted for my wedding day and knew just how to execute my vision. She recommended other lovely vendors to help complete my dream team. I also loved that she gave me an easy and simple step-by-step to-do-list because it made the planning manageable and easy. Throughout the whole process, Amanda made me feel like I was her top priority. She went above and beyond to get to know me and my husband, and as a result our wedding was personal and special. When I had a slight mishap with my venue, Amanda immediately stood up on my behalf to ensure the wedding day would be perfect. On the day of my wedding, I was able to show up, get married and celebrate without worrying about anything. Afterword, everything was packed up for us so that we could leave and join our guests as the afterparty. I had my dream wedding and I really believe I could not have done it without Amanda and Magnificent Moments Wedding. One million thank yous to Amanda and the MMW team!

ur dreams come true. She knew all of the vendors and made sure they met our expectations. Words cannot express how great they are! We are thinking of how we can work with her again in the very near future.

er the wedding, we both couldn't stop talking about how happy we were with everything Amanda and her team helped do! She was great to work with throughout the planning process and on the wedding day everything went so smoothly! Not only did she coordinate the timeline and deal with all the vendors during the wedding but she was also constantly making sure my husband and I had everything we needed! Also, she was so great towards us during the planning process, answering all the questions we had (which we had a lot and probably asked the same questions multiple times!). We could not recommend working with Amanda enough!!

d for my wedding day and she flawlessly executed. From making sure all the vendors arrived on time, to making sure our guest were happy and followed a timeline. Shelby contacted all the vendors to make sure contracts were signed and payments were made as well as confirming arrival times to venue. She took all the stress away from me and I trusted her 100 percent. If I had to do this again, first person I would hire would be Magnificent Moments Wedding - specifically Shelby Rouse, she knows the wedding industry inside and out!

every moment. We didn't want to worry about coordinating with vendors, setting up our venues, or figuring out plan Bs for potential problems. So we decided to go with MMW to help out with all of this, and it was probably the best decision we made for our wedding! They were so much fun to work with, and SO organized (which I loved and appreciated!) Our day ran so smoothly and was really truly perfect. It's a day filled with a lot of emotions and nerves, but Brittni and Amanda made me feel so relaxed and excited! I could not recommend them more!

planning/sharing software tools. She even designed our floor plans (and backup floor plans) in CAD! Our venue manager said it was the best planning of any pro she had worked with. We hired Amanda because she is both an advocate and an ally for her couples. Instead of telling you what the "typical" couple does or what the "industry" prefers - she always looks to the client for what is most authentic to them. She's such a good listener that as I walked around our venue before our ceremony I got teary eyed because she remembered and executed every.single.detail. we had discussed. Some of which I had even forgotten. :) She makes you feel like you are her *only* client and checks in with calls, texts, and even care packages. Our other vendors were excited to work with her and she fostered sense of teamwork with everyone that most of our vendors ended up giving us "extras" or staying longer than contracted because they were having such a nice time working with her and the MMW team. Our families and bridal party were delighted to have someone to go to throughout the wedding weekend and said she was full of tips and tricks and made everyone feel relaxed and happy. Even a few of our guests commented that it was the "smoothest" wedding they had ever attended. Considering that our venue required 3 different floor plan "flips" and not to mention, only an hour to set up before the ceremony, that's a BIG deal. She had our favorite drinks in her hands for us as we walked into cocktail hour and leftovers of every single food we served packed into the trunk of our getaway car as a sweet surprise. Truly EVERYTHING about wedding planning experience and our wedding was better because of Amanda and Magnificent Moments Weddings. Looking back we both agree hiring Amanda was the best wedding money we spent.

ay-of coordinator, we knew we needed a team that would be highly organized, thorough, and ahead of the curve. We found that with Shelby and the Magnificent Moments team. With a guest count of over 300 and a venue with no event infrastructure (other than power and bathrooms,) the team at Magnificent Moments created a flawless ceremony and reception experience for our big day. Throughout the planning process Shelby asked the right questions at the right time and reached out to the right avenues for help. On the day of the wedding, she was present, prepared, and attentive. One thing I appreciated the most as a bride was the team's willingness to keep guests in the right place at the right time so that the schedule could run smoothly all night long. I'd recommend Shelby and the team to anyone looking for a flexible and thorough team to make any wedding seamless - no matter how challenging!

ting. Five minutes into chatting, I knew we were hiring her. After asking just a few questions, she already knew what we envisioned for our wedding day and had suggested multiple venues and vendors that could make that happen. Not having any family or my bridesmaids down here during the planning process was a little stressful but Amanda went to every appointment and meeting with me, and even came dress shopping. I travel a lot for my job and Amanda was always so helpful organizing and arranging things while I was gone and setting up meetings around my schedule. I also appreciated how accessible she was during the whole planning process. Many times if I emailed her, she would email back immediately and she always responded to texts and phone calls. The day of the wedding she was even better. She coordinated all of the vendors, rounded up family members and bridal party for pictures, handled each little hiccup that occurred and made everything go off without a hitch. She even checked in with our dog sitter during the reception and came over to show us pictures of our fur babies behaving at home! Amanda is kind, detail oriented, easy going, organized, has two back up plans to every plan, incredibly well connected in the wedding industry and has a way of putting people at ease that cannot be taught. You know within minutes of meeting her that she is just a genuinely caring person who wants to help you in whatever way she can. The whole planning process never felt like work, it just felt like sitting over coffee planning a party with a friend and I cannot thank her enough for that.

oothly both leading up to and during the wedding. Family and friends who attended were all very impressed and said how well the wedding and reception went and this was down to MMW. Couldn't recommend them enough!

r team would be great to work with! Shelby is so extremely organized & has excellent attention to detail & I knew she wouldn't miss a thing. She made my vision come to life on my wedding day & I couldn't have imagined it turning out more perfectly! I didn't have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day & could relax & enjoy every moment knowing that Shelby was handling it. I would highly recommend working with MMW.

peak to me and it was like I was talking to a friend that I had known for years. She was genuinely excited for me and couldn't wait to start planning. She was so kind, helpful, extremely organized (organized is an understatement) and always went above and beyond to make sure we got our dream wedding (she even offered to hike to some of our possible ceremony spots to check them out!) and I am delighted to say that I will always keep in contact with her! We had a small destination wedding in Asheville, NC (we live in Alabama and some family traveled from Florida) and everything down to smallest detail was perfect. She knew exactly what we wanted and made it even more amazing than I ever expected. She put together all flower arrangements, including my GIANT beautiful bouquet. I never once felt stressed or that something may go wrong because she was always on top of everything. Even though I was not from the area she made it so easy to plan, because I had to do almost nothing. She had a plan for EVERYTHING and on the big day she had a huge tub of "emergency items" with an alphabetical list of what was in the tub. when we had a problem paying for our cake because our bank wouldn't allow a manual out of state transaction and they never received our check, Amanda offered to pay for our cake herself and allow us to pay her back when we arrived (luckily we didn't have to do that). It was all the little things like that that took the stress away from me, my fiance and our families that made her the best decision we made. Our wedding was a dream thanks to her and if you don't work with her you are making a huge mistake!

ing bride and Amanda and I just got along great. I did have a lot going on... moving north to my fiance, renting my home, planning the WEDDING, so...she just made sure I followed my to do list, check, check, check. She realized what was important to me and focused on that. The rest was, meh, not that big a deal and let's save money on that. She likes lists, I like lists. Checking those off made us both happy. The rehearsal dinner, celebration get together and wedding went off without a hitch. People said it was perfect and they had the best time! Part of our goal was for everyone to enjoy themselves and they did!

venue was better than I imagined and she kept all my vendors in close communication. My advice to future brides, please trust her taste and give her the all the liberty to arrange things! She won't let you down!

ganized and made sure I stayed on top of everything. If you're going to hire a planner, which you should, you need to hire Magnificent Moments Weddings! Thank you again Amanda!

a type A person to help run the day. When I met Amanda I knew she would be perfect. I hired her to be a "day of" coordinator but she ended up working with me months prior to the wedding day. Amanda was there to answer any questions we had, give advice, and just help shape our ideas into reality. It was helpful that Amanda had worked at our venue before and worked with most of our vendors. The actual wedding day was so flawless and that is largely due to how well Amanda coordinated with the vendors. She sent all the vendors itineraries in advance and made sure it worked for everyone. Amanda is very sweet but when it comes to the actual rehearsal and wedding day she takes care of business. She made sure everyone was listening and understood all the details throughout the day. She gave all my bridesmaids and the groomsmen printed itineraries which they loved because they felt like they knew exactly what was happening. She was there to answer questions that my family, bridesmaids, groomsmen, groom and or myself might have had. I was really impressed with Amanda and would 100% recommend her to be someone's wedding planner or coordinator.

asy for me to plan my daughter and son in law's wedding the way I dreamed it should be. Amanda was so good at communicating with both the couple and me, and the wedding was a beautiful representation of who they are as a couple. Amanda helped us assemble a great team, from caterer to photographer to venue to floral designer. I love flowers, and she recommended an amazing floral designer, Melissa from What's Up, Buttercup. Also, our photographer, Kate from Paperheart Photography, was incredible. We met 6 weeks before the wedding, and it was obvious that Amanda has developed very strong professional relationships with so many people in her field. At that meeting, the vendors and Amanda coordinated the logistics of the day to perfection. They worked out table arrangements, florals, scheduling, really everything. I left that meeting with such confidence that the day would have a very organized flow, and it did! Amanda was always available, either by email or phone call. I know she is busy, but never left us with questions. I knew we would benefit from having a wedding planner, but I had no idea that she would actually enhance the wedding with her calm and steady approach to planning. My daughter and her husband are a fantastic couple, and Amanda was able to guide them through the choices they made to bring a very sweet individuality to their special day. My friends were very interested in seeing how helpful Amanda was in planning the wedding. We will be watching many of our friends' and family's children get married, and this wedding sets the bar very high. I would recommend Amanda for any event, wedding or not. She took care of so many details, so we could simply enjoy the day, and the planning that led to it.

o know I was NOT going through all of that. Hiring Magnificent Moments weddings was the best decision I had made during my whole wedding process. The day of your wedding you are so busy getting your wedding party together and getting yourself dressed that you do not have time to handle anything else. Thank goodness for Amanda. I literally did not have to worry about ANYTHING. Between the shuttle bus, cake delivery, Dj and most importantly the decorating of the venue, it all turned out like a dream. She has impeccable taste and can make anyone’s vision for their wedding turn out even better than they imagined. You see her experience really come into play with how detailed she is with the planning process. She has seen it all and knows exactly what to expect and knows how to fix basically any issue that may arise. Other vendors also absolutely love to work with her and she has the best recommendations for vendors that Charlotte has to offer. On my wedding day everyone kept mentioning that they could not believe how calm I was which can all be attributed to Magnificent Moments. I was literally just able to enjoy and take in the entire day. Not only is Amanda a dream to work with but she is also an amazing person and one of the most caring people I have ever met. I highly recommend Magnificent Moments for your wedding.

she basically paid for herself with all her discounts through her relationships with the vendors. Amanda has a lot of energy and creativity but is also organized, practical, and budget-conscious and very calm under pressure! We loved all her ideas for the wedding design and she thought of all the little details that got huge compliments from our guests and made our wedding feel so special. All of our parents and friends in the wedding party were very impressed with Amanda. And after a year of working together we felt like we formed both a great working relationship and a great friendship! We couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding turned out and we can’t thank Magnificent Moments Weddings enough!

er + happy vendors = exceptional wedding! The details: Amanda is an absolute dream to work with! Choosing Amanda was the BEST decision we made. I was hesitant about hiring a wedding planner due to the additional cost, and my perfectionist, organized, ‘do it all’ mentality. But, listen here, you NEED to hire a wedding planner, and when you do, you HAVE to hire Amanda, or the MMW team! Amanda came highly recommended, and after meeting her, I knew that she would be the perfect person to work with. We had a great deal in common, but that doesn’t begin to describe the depth of Amanda’s talent, not to mention her sweet spirit. Amanda is prompt, incredibly organized, and as Tom at the Mint Museum says “she gets everything done, and with a smile on her face.” She was flexible with my schedule, as I was planning from 5 hours away, and arranged FaceTime meetings with vendors when I couldn’t make it. She was never more than a text, e-mail, or phone call away. This immensely helped relieve our stress, and I cannot thank her enough. I still want to text her as a friend! She went out of her way to make times and dates work to meet in-person when I was in Charlotte for the weekend. Additionally, she made certain to ensure that we could implement the little details that I insisted on having. We had a valiant search for a classic mustang getaway car (still searching only because they don’t exist in NC!), and Amanda was even texting friends of hers who were in the market for classic cars, hoping they’d buy one so we could use it. I’m so grateful that she always made the process feel like teamwork, even when her expertise far outweighed mine. That was extremely important to me, as I wanted to be involved. Amanda ultimately helped direct and guide the decision process, making decisions when needed, and thinking of things I never would have. The day of my wedding, which had many moving pieces, went smoothly due to Amanda’s planning and organization. I can promise that she ensures that all vendors are on the same page, and operating on a strict timeline. Moreover, Amanda is well-connected and she knows a fantastic team of vendors. Her recommendations for my music and floral vendors were spot on, and both the DJ and flowers stole the show! My parents (and our beloved puppy) love Amanda as much as I do. I doubt there’s any business venture she wouldn’t be successful in, but weddings are her thing! Thank you Amanda, Shelby and Brittni for EVERYTHING!

ul job helping all the vendors navigate it. I am so grateful and SO GLAD that I decided to get a coordinator. I was able to enjoy the day and create memories that I will have with me for many, many year. It is so worth it.

ll, we were fortunate to get a personal recommendation from my mom's neighbor who used Amanda for her daughter's wedding. After our first FaceTime chat with Amanda (thank you technology), we knew we were in great hands! In the months leading up to the wedding, Amanda asked all the right questions, kept us on track and reminded us of the little things we may have missed. She was thoughtful, thorough, professional, calm and always had a smile on her face. In turn, Amanda experienced her first Jewish wedding and was incredibly diligent and respectful of the different traditions. And after a slight shoe mishap, from now on she will always have heel protectors in her emergency kit! Thank you, Amanda, for playing such a pivotal part in our special day!

ently organized. However, Amanda came as a referral from a good friend and I travel 2-3 nights a week for my job so I thought it would be worth checking her out at least. From the moment my then fiancé and I met Amanda we knew we wanted to work with her. I remember the thoughtful questions she asked at the very first meeting and that same thoughtfulness and attention to detail remained a key trait of hers though the entire process. Working with Amanda leading up to the wedding was like working with a best friend. I never felt like we were "working" or questioned whether I could call or text her. She never made me feel like I was bothering her or asking too many stupid questions. She acted like the wedding was just as important to her as it was to me. And even though I knew she was coordinating a wedding almost every weekend I felt like my wedding was the only one she ever thought about! Amanda did so many special things for my fiancé and I during our wedding season to make us feel special that I felt like we had been friends forever. I cant imagine the amount of stress I would have felt not knowing she was looking after every detail. Planning for a wedding and being engaged is such a special and sweet time that only comes once in your life and I would not change one thing about having Amanda involved with us during that season. Planning and leading up to the wedding was a blast with Amanda but the wedding day was even better! Of course like everyone says it was a complete blurr but everything went off without a hitch. There is no way I would have been able to organize all of those details on the day of the wedding and leading up to without MMW. THANK YOU AMANDA AND TEAM AT MMW!!!!

of my rambling questions. I needed help with design about halfway through and completely trusted Amanda's eye and opinion for anything and everything. They are so unbelievably organized that on the day of my wedding my makeup artist were asking for her information to give out to people! Also, I completely forgot to contact the videographer prior to the wedding (like months had gone by) and as I finished getting ready I completely freaked out and text her. She responded less than a minute later that they were 4 minutes away. All of this aside our wedding was stunning and more than I could have ever dreamed of thanks to them! Best decision.

sked for a better person to coordinate our day!

loral arrangements as well. Planning with Amanda was so great because she used a design book. She put everything I would need for the wedding with options in the design book. Then I was able to pick what I loved and what I wanted to change. She made sure to really listen to what I had envisioned for the wedding. She was so helpful in answering any wedding questions and guiding me in the right direction. Amanda is so sweet and was amazing to work with.

planner, about staying within my budget, and about finding someone who could also be a reliable friend during the entire process. After talking with Amanda, I knew that she would be worth the investment. (And she was!!) Amanda really took the time to get to know me and my fiance, our initial ideas, our likes and dislikes, and what was important to us. She made us both feel at ease and took away the anxieties we had about our engagement. To kick off planning, she came up with a design board and initial suggestions that were spot on with what I had envisioned. In each stage after that, Amanda focused my attention and energy on options that fit my style and budget so I never felt overwhelmed by too many options or too much information. She knew great vendors and locations and made fantastic suggestions for all of our needs. She also kept us on track with our timeline (which was also something I was nervous about) and used a really cool website to keep us in sync. During the entire process, Amanda was easy to work with, proactive, prompt, creative, patient with all my questions, supportive of my decisions and ideas, encouraging when I was flustered or anxious, flexible with my hectic work schedule, and made the whole process so much better than it ever would have been on my own. My now husband, who works in operations, was also very impressed with Amanda's timeliness, responsiveness, professionalism, proactive solutions, knowledge base and connections in the city, understanding of our needs, ability to manage vendors and negotiate on our behalf, and focus on our values and priorities. He often said that if Amanda worked in his line of business, he'd hire her!! I'm so thankful that I invested in a full service wedding package with Magnificent Moments! The whole process was so much better, easier, and simpler than it would have been on my own. Not only that, but Amanda was able to negotiate with our vendors in several circumstances which recouped the cost of her services!! Because of Magnificent Moments Weddings, our wedding turned out better than I imagined! I couldn't imagine having done it any other way! Thank you, Amanda!!

or. Now, we both agree that booking Amanda was the best decision we could have made in regards to our wedding! She was seriously so helpful, always available, gave her advice when I asked for it (I'm super indecisive so this is exactly what I needed), and thought of a million things I never would have even thought about. Not to mention she put me at ease several times with her kind words when I was getting stressed throughout planning. She came across as a friend while still being professional. Amanda and her team did a great job on the day of my wedding. From making sure every detail with the venue and decorations were perfect to running to put a band aid on my foot right before I walked down the aisle! A true lifesaver! My parents both said she was very helpful and loved her as well! I am truly so happy with Amanda and her services! She was an absolute joy to work with and such a sweet person!!! Thank you Magnificent Moments for making my dream wedding a reality!!!

ponsibility with stride and made it look easy. She has a way of confidently and seamlessly making everything fall perfectly in place. What an incredible value to the bride and groom and their families on the wedding day. She's very approachable, organized, efficient, and a good listener. My family, husband and I are all so happy we had Amanda there to choreograph our wedding so beautifully!

along the way, especially with planning the overall wedding timeline!

idn't forget anything and she was full of helpful advice along the way. Her organization and dedication were obvious at the wedding. She planned a timeline that gave the perfect flow to the wedding. Without her help, we wouldn't have known how much time to dedicate to different events. The best part of working with Amanda was that she was able to keep us on track while being both professional and positive. She executed all of the transitions at the wedding flawlessly. We were impressed with how she can take charge and maintain a friendly attitude at the same time! I didn't get to see Amanda work her magic as she helped organize the set up of the venue, but the ceremony and reception were styled to perfection. We were so lucky to work with Amanda and we would recommend her to anyone!

nd she handled them so smoothly that I didn't even notice. Everything was 100% perfect. She Is very organized and professional. You really feel like you can really trust Amanda to handle such an important event. I was really busy with work the week of the wedding and Amanda went above and beyond to text me and ask me if she needed to go purchase last minute items for the wedding. She was so on top of me and made sure I was on track the whole time. I am so grateful to have found such an awesome planner and would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

e of the best money we spent on the wedding! Amanda was always available when I needed her, even for small questions, was highly organized, and completely put my mind at ease. Our wedding day ran so, so smoothly, and Amanda and the MMW Team was the primary reason for it going so well. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner or coordinator, get off the fence and hire Magnificent Moments - it really will make the difference between a good wedding and an absolutely amazing one!

n all of it and help get everyone from point A to B.

s were completely alleviated. I seriously can't imagine our wedding without Amanda being by our side. She was constantly available to me for questions and was able to help me make decisions when I was being indecisive (per usual). Amanda truly loves weddings and is so amazing at what she does. She worked seamlessly with all of my vendors and ensured that the wedding day was perfect. Because I was planning the wedding during my last year of pharmacy school, I was a little apprehensive about getting everything done. Amanda sent me detailed timelines and tailored them based on my school schedule, which enabled me to get more things done on my lighter work load months. I promise you, if you choose Amanda, you will not be disappointed!!!

worried about setting expectations for level of involvement. I wanted to be pretty involved, but I knew I needed help with the coordination efforts. I also knew I needed help in many things that only an expert would know, such as, questions to ask, tasks I may have been forgetting about altogether, methods of making the design come to life, etc... However, she REALLY does as much as you want her to do. It was VERY clear she was in this for us. She provided great suggestions, while at the same time keeping it very business-like in determining which suggestions we would use and which suggestions we would not. I also had HUGE concerns of day-of coordination. Not concerns with Amanda, but concerns about the day going just as planned. I had a day-of coordinator through the venue (The Oaks at Salem... also AMAZING!), but Amanda was in charge of making the ceremony and reception really reflect US and our personality through decorations and design. She guided me through making a Wedding Theme book, and from that, she was able to do all decorations and other coordination throughout the day. Of course, there were a few decorations and items that I forgot, but Amanda was a pro at improvising and keeping in line with our theme. You can fully trust that Amanda will get the job done, no matter what. Throughout this process, Amanda was so punctual and on top of things. She keeps her composure, no matter how many last minute changes you throw at her. I was also told the next day by my parents, that she stayed at the venue to help my family make sure everything was squared away. She went above and beyond, but when you know Amanda, this does not surprise you. Looking back, the only thing I would do different is purchase the ENTIRE wedding-planning package. Our favorite part about working with her was seeing her passion and drive for what she does to make it the most special day for her clients. Thank you so much, Amanda! We do not know what we would have done without you! Nadia & Luis Mata

ed tremendously with wedding etiquette and has a great eye for details. Amanda is honest, flexible, and an absolute jem of a person - everything you look for in a planner. Her email responses were incredibly through, her day-of package was more of a month of package that included comprehensive check-ins on progress which we did via phone since I was planning a Charlotte wedding from Baltimore. Amanda did a phenomenal job decorating the venue and executing on the day of timeline as well. We couldn't have asked for a better planner!

made it so much easier. And the entire weekend was magic. I didn't have to worry about a single thing. You can't go wrong here. Thank you, Amanda and Co.!!!

our questions quickly. We both spent a lot of money on this event and Amanda kept us in budget and told us what to spend on and what didn't make that much of a difference. She was there every step of the way and was excited with us which made all the difference. Our family really appreciated Magnificent Moments Wedding service and said several times that she was helpful behind the scenes during the day and before. She pulled off a flawless wedding!! We feel so blessed to of found Magnificent Moments and recommend them highly.

etter than I could have ever imagined thanks to Magnificent Moments! Everyone was so impressed with every single detail of my wedding, and I have Amanda to thank for all of that. She made everything come together and made our wedding day the best day ever!

she provided me with a timeline of what to do in the upcoming months. She went out of her way to help find venues and vendors. She was very accessible and knew how to calm me down when I was a little stressed. She sent an email to the entire bridal party a few weeks before the wedding with a packing list and detailed agenda, as our bridal party was scattered throughout the country; I had never heard of this idea but the bridal party loved it. Amanda confirmed all of our vendors the week before the wedding which definitely saved me a lot of phone calls. Throughout the process, she was confident, organized, easy to work with and very professional. On rehearsal day, she made sure rehearsal was flawless with just two run troughs. Our wedding day was the best day of my life. If anything went wrong that day, I do not know about it. Amanda made sure everything was on time and had a backup plan if the schedule needed to be adjusted. She is professional with everyone and kind. She obviously loves what she does and uses her talents to perfect every detail. She made sure everything looked just like I had envisioned. Amanda is by far the best wedding planner and day of coordinator that I have ever encountered at a wedding and am honored that she was a part of my wedding!

d dreamed of.

l at once. Her team was incredibly organized, resourceful, and on top of it all. Amanda was even willing to carry our fussy 4 year old around when we were busy trying to take photos before the reception - without even being asked to! She had that mentality throughout the day, and those leading up to it. I couldn't recommend her services, and those of Magnificent Moments, more!

dding was MORE than worth it...it was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. We had Amanda for our "Day of" wedding planning, and she did an incredible job putting together timelines for us and our vendors, coordinating set up, and clean up. I was able to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest because I was confident in her abilities to make sure the day ran as smoothly as possible. She also did a fabulous job making sure The Mint Museum Uptown looked like I had always imagined it would! She checked on me on my wedding party multiple times throughout the day, and always had what we needed! There were a few things thrown at us during the day like mixed up hotel rooms and rain during our exit, but she handled each one of them with professionalism and ease! She was able to book some last minute (I'm talking 30 minutes before our exit) transportation for our guests and take care of my grandmother's hotel room mix up. My husband and my parents also loved working with Magnificent Moments weddings! My mom has told me multiple times since our wedding day that she is beyond thankful we had Amanda there with us. I highly recommend hiring MMW for your wedding planning. It is absolutely worth the investment to have this team on your side on your wedding day!

ely stressful, and Amanda took all of the stress away!! Our day could not have happened as smoothly as it did without her. She happily got everything sorted out for us and got us back on the right track. She is calm, organized and on top of EVERYTHING, always having a smile on her face. Her demeanor is exactly what every bride needs in order to take the stress and the nerves away. I couldn't imagine going through this day without her. She truly was a life-saver and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding coordinator. She will go above and beyond for you to make sure your day is as special as it is meant to be. Thank you so much, Amanda, for everything you have done for us!!

f the way and stayed calm when all I could do was panic. Anytime I had an issue, she immediately came up with at least 2 or 3 possible solutions that I'd never even considered! She is extremely organized, proactive, easy to work with, upbeat, professional and never misses a deadline. Even my vendors were singing her praises!! My day would not have been half as special without her. Save yourself the headache and stress of looking for help or wondering if you can do it all and hire Amanda with Magnificent Moments immediately!

as a couple. I am so glad we decided to book more than just the day of services we were looking at. I also loved that her starting prices are listed on her website, so I could already factor her into the budget! Amanda was calm and collected throughout the entire process and she worked very hard to keep us on track with our customized timelines and our budget. I was concerned about meeting our budget, but Amanda knew exactly how to keep my spending right where it was supposed to be! Our big day was better than I could have every imaged and that is thanks in large part to Amanda. This was the best decision we made, and I'm so glad to have met Amanda during the process.
