Oh My Occasions

ll of our wants, needs and concerns were addressed and taken care of leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day. She was available and responsive every single day! She never made us feel like we were a bother or annoying. Amber had helpful advice and insight on what happens and what is needed on a wedding day -- things you simply don't think about or know about if you're the first one in your family to get married. Both my mom and I (who are worriers, and very type A) were able to relax and enjoy the wedding knowing Amber had all the behind the scenes and little details taken care of. Having my mom able to talk with our family and friends, and enjoy every little moment of our wedding was extremely important to me. I knew that if there was no Amber, my mom would have taken on that role and responsibility of making sure everything was done and handled so that I wouldn't have to. There was no anxiety and the day was stress free due to Amber!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day goes without a hitch! When I had told her I had only eaten a couple pineapple slices the morning of my wedding, Amber came back in the room minutes later with grilled chicken. She cut it up into pieces and literally fed me while I got my makeup done! If that's not dedication to ensuring the bride and groom are taken care, I don't know what is!!! Thank you Amber!!!!!!!!!!!!

everything in their power to make it everything that you want! Amber is super responsive and so helpful in the extra areas you need her for. She really is dedicated to this job and loves what she does and it shows! You cannot go wrong with her!! :)

nal touches she took the time to include, from our names on the information package to even a picture of our venue. Keep in mind that this was an inquiry type of communication only, wayyyyy before we even discussed going forward with the contract, and it mesmerized us that she took the time from her busy schedule to add personal touches to that. Another one of Amber’s infinite amazing qualities was how incredibly fast she responded to our questions; it really made us wonder if she had an army of Amber clones working with her. My husband (oh my!) and I are both accountants with Type A personalities, so you can already imagine how insane our emails must have always been (they sometimes included Excel spreadsheets…), and Amber conquered them with ease, bullet point by bullet point. As if it could get even better, the planning tools Amber uses for seating charts, floor plans, notes, to do’s, etc. are out of this world. They are extremely easy to use, and saved us a lot of time and headaches. We assigned tables and also specific seats to each guests, and with the seating chart tool it was a breeze. The checklists and to do’s really helped keep us on track, as they were very detailed, and, you bet, tailored to us specifically. We loved how organized, energized, and professional she always was. She always made us feel like we were her top priority, and even though we selected the partial planning package, she sent us monthly reminders and was extremely generous with offering her wisdom and knowledge way before it was her turn to officially take over. By the time we met her in person, we felt like we were long time friends; and this made us feel extremely comfortable leading up to our big day. Amber went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure our dream wedding, not only became a reality, but surpassed our expectations. We would be honored (and can’t wait!) to work with Amber again! Too soon for a vow renewal?

e visualizing designs without seeing them in person. She sent us great examples of floor plan layouts, menu & signage options, linen comparisons, etc. Although our wedding in Charleston, SC (not Amber's typical FL location), she was flawless in execution of every detail. I feel confident that she could plan a tropical wedding in Alaska if desired! Services: We knew that a full service planning package was necessary. Her customized "to do" lists kept us moving through planning stages at a manageable pace & helped us feel like we were still involved in the planning process without making us feel overwhelmed. It was SO helpful that Amber was the point of contact when deciding on vendors. I placed a lot of importance on being involved in the selection of vendors. Amber helping to weed through florists, hair/makeup artists, bakers, caterers, etc. to provide me with concise lists to make my selections from was just what I needed. She is an excellent last minute seamstress as well! When my wedding gown strap broke between pictures & the ceremony, Amber saved the day with her needle and thread! She stitched me back together & it held all night. Punctuality/professionalism/personality: I could always count on Amber to be on time for meetings. Since we had a lot of phone "meetings", I loved that she would always call a few mins early or stay on the call a few mins late (or both) in order to discuss any questions I had. She is so friendly and genuine; she can immediately make you feel as though you have known her forever. That being said, she will "go to bat" for you in an EXTREMELY professional manner if needed when it comes to negotiating prices, nailing down timelines, or just generally communicating with vendors. Simple honesty: This may be the one of the most important pieces to consider when choosing your planner, and Amber NAILED it. Inevitably, you will get to a point in planning when you can't make a decision or a decision needs to be made quickly. Amber ALWAYS offered her honest, experienced opinion. One example: I adored Amber's unique suggestion for me to walk down the aisle to my groom (before guests were in the seats) for our "first look" in order preserve that experience but still provide ample photo time prior to the ceremony. However, when the BIG DAY came, the ceremony site was VERY muddy! My heart still wanted that walk down the aisle, but my head told me that was NOT the best option & I was torn. I turned to Amber & asked what she would do if she were me (a question I asked a lot during planning). She told me she would opt for an alt "first look" site in front of a massive tree w/ gorgeous Spanish moss. I trusted her completely & it turned out like a fairytale-- she was so RIGHT! Avg response time: Saved the best for last! Amber was INCREDIBLY quick to respond to texts, calls, emails. There was never a moment I was frustrated or hoped she had responded quicker. I couldn't have asked for better service! She made me feel like mine was the only wedding she was planning even though she had numerous other events to juggle!

mber has different planning packages available and will work with you to meet your individual planning needs and budget. Having her in charge allowed me to be completely care free and able to enjoy my special day. I have already recommended her to all of my friends who are getting married, and can't say enough good things about her and her team!!

ication with all our vendors/venue and was the main point of contact. We can't stress enough how extremely professional and organized she was/is. We also can't stress enough how important having a wedding planner was in general! Amber made sure we stayed on schedule and created an AMAZING personalized checklist that sent you emails to remind you when something was "due". She was seriously our right hand and go-to during wedding planning. On the day of the wedding, Amber made sure everything was executed perfectly and that the day flowed smoothly with everyone staying on time with hair/makeup, first look photos, getting all the groomsmen/bridal party dressed and ready, bridal party pictures, family pictures, all the way to the ceremony & reception. We didn't have to stress one bit on our wedding day. My wife and I were able to enjoy, and we had such an amazing time!

f coordinator, and OH MY GOD I am so glad I did. Amber and her team thought of everything (like what time the cake should be brought in for optimal eating temperature, no joke). If I didn't hire Amber, I would've been stressing out all day! Amber and her team truly helped my husband and I ENJOY every second of our wedding day—we even got to eat, which is pretty much unheard of. I wish we could have our wedding day again, just so I could relive how perfect everything was.

and saying yes, yes, yes, we found the one (wedding planner, that it!). Let me just start off by saying weddings are NOT easy work. At times it can be overwhelming and stressful, however, Amber was exactly everything I needed. From her professionalism, to her punctuality, to her kind demeanor, she was always one step ahead. She was punctual, responsive, uplifting, detailed and always positive. It's great to have someone help you with all the wedding preparation but more importantly, it's imperative to have someone who will execute your vision all while making the chaos behind the scenes appear seemingness. Funny enough, I asked my very busy husband to be a part of this review and I only expected a few words but instead he provided a complete review of his own…. Wow! From A-Z Amber and Oh my Occasion just had us covered. Let me start by saying that I was 100% against the idea of a wedding planner. I believed it was an extra unnecessary or luxury expense that we can surely do without! All I can say is, I ended up being Amber biggest fan! Since our first meeting Amber sat with us and listened intently to what we wanted to accomplish. She took copious notes and paid attention to every detail. She really wanted to learn about us and share in our vision of what we wanted for our special night. After taking our information she started right away bridging the gaps between ideas and vendors. She would offer several options all within our price point and more importantly all very reliable and professional. She was with my wife at every turn guiding the way or simply listening to her run through ideas…. some crazy, some sane! Ha. I must admit, she had some late night questions. She would simply email her and would be amazed and how quickly she responded. Till this day we receive compliments on all the attention to details at out wedding. Funny enough, I, Mr. Frugal himself, have blindly recommended Amber to all my friends. Thanks, Amber.

eally cared about making our day special and one of a kind. We are so happy we hired a planner!

n the road Amber was calmly there to help us out. She was awesome to use just one word. We strongly recommend Amber and her team if you are looking for a smooth less stressful experience. Amber we can’t thank you enough. Love the new Mr. & Mrs. Franco <3

G! I started listing all the things she did for me and I reached my character limit. What I will say is Amber takes care of anything and everything you could think of. She is professional, understanding, thorough, understands you unique wedding vibe, makes you feel like you are the only bride she is working with and thinks of things you haven't even thought of yet that need to be done. Amber is the person to recognize a problem and then fix it before you even know there was a problem. She has a back up plan for every back up plan. The #1 thing that sticks out to me is Amber took care of everything at the end of the night. I went to my reception, danced my butt off, enjoyed my friends and family and went back to my hotel room exhausted to find all my gifts and decorations in my room organized and waiting for me. It was so nice to not have to worry about one single thing on my wedding day from the minute I woke up to minute I fell asleep. I highly highly highly recommend Amber for your wedding day. You will NOT regret it. She was by far the BEST investment I made for my wedding and was the #1 vendor I was most pleased with. I can't imagine my special day without her.

u have no idea what you are doing (totally my case). She will go above and beyond to make your day special and she really puts 100% of her heart into your special day. Thank you Amber for making my day amazing! Future Brides, I completely recommend you contact Amber and have her help you make your day as special as mine was!

ries hard to do whatever the bride wants to do for the special day. Everyone said it was a beautiful wedding and enjoyed all together :) Against , I'm so honored to have worked with Ms. Amber. 100% satsatisfaction and strongly recommend you whoever

op checking in to make sure we were OK and organized and made this experience a dream. Every time someone would ask me if I was tired and sick of all the planning I would say not when your planner does everything and all I have to do is say yes or no to things. I owe her everything to making this process easy and can’t thank the team enough!

ttitude but still fun personality is so so appreciated! Thank you amber for doing such a wonderful job :)

ated. Outstanding work!

From our first meeting to the wedding day itself, everything was thought through with grace and class. Being in the wedding industry myself as a wedding photographer, I had high expectations of Amber and my whole wedding planning experience. Once Amber went through the steps of a successful wedding and her creative ideas, I could tell how passionate she was about the process. This made me feel so relieved to know I was in good hands. Amber stopped at nothing to ensure we had everything we wanted while still remaining within our budget. She listed to my vision and ideas, incorporated my feedback and provided options that I never would have thought of. She spent a substantial amount of time scoping out venues and provided pros and cons of each. Ultimately, she was able to provide personal touches in order to transform the space into my DREAM wedding venue by adding a chic outdoor tent to a predominantly outdoor area. Amber has an extensive list of vendors to choose from that she is able to work with and kept me at ease and at a low stress level the entire wedding process. Amber is my wedding angel!! On the day of the wedding, everything went exactly as planned thanks to Amber's detailed wedding timeline. Anything that I could have felt stressed with, I didn't because I knew Amber had it all under control and I could enjoy my wedding knowing everything was going as planned. It has been about three months since my wedding, and my guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed it and how the wedding felt like it was right out of a magazine. Amber is blessed with an amazing talent and I am so fortunate to have had her plan my wedding. Her professionalism, the fact that she was able to remain calm throughout the entire wedding, her guidance and truly evident passion for planning weddings genuinely makes me wish that I could relive the entire wedding process over again. Thank you, Amber for everything!!

outstanding performance by their team made our wedding journey stress free! They exceed all of our expectations and goals! Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of and MORE!! THANK YOU TO OH MY! OCCASIONS! #BforeverMine28 #OhMyGallardo

table through the entire process. She is just a lovely person to work with who is attentive and passionate for her work!

sure their experience and wedding day is perfect and special! If you are looking for the best of the best, someone who truly cares about you, and will work exceptionally hard to make sure your day is everything and more, there is no question about it: Oh My! Occasions is it!

nd makes you feel so comfortable. Amber carries a vision through to the minutest detail with her exceptional organizational skills and eye for detail.

hone and knew immediately she was "the one." From that moment forward, she was organized, detailed and proud to be our planner. I have to say, our wedding was hands-down the most gorgeous wedding I've ever attended and I know it was not an easy task. Amber outdid herself and I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime. Amber, thank you for loving us and cherishing our wedding as if it were your own. We revel in all the details and loved every second of working with you!!!

d recommend her for any event from high-end fancy to boho and every combination inbetween she can do it all

dea where to start and she made our dream wedding come to life and every detail was PERFECT . She keeps things on track which was a HUGE stress relief since we have a relatively large wedding with lots of moving parts, and Amber handled them all without any issue, making sure that we and our guests have the best possible time. Every time I got stressed, amber took over. We really appreciated everything she and her team has done. Thank you, Amber!
