When we started planning a wedding two years ago, I had a curated Pinterest board and had done the research so I didn’t think we needed a wedding planner - which was true for about... the first few months. As the countdown truly started, planning a wedding got more complicated and we struggled to juggle the different decisions and things to remember, while also living our lives.
Amanda was our Day-Of Coordinator and was SO knowledgeable and fun to work with, I decided to hire Pine Events Co. to check in with us leading up to the wedding - and that made ALL the difference. Not only did Amanda keep up with our evolving vision, she offered ideas, gave us feedback, advocated for us, and kept us on a timeline - and didn’t panic when we veered off that timeline. Amanda is so detail-oriented and perceptive. If I showed her pictures, she knew what I was saying - which is amazing because it can be HARD to articulate wedding concepts and details - but she got me.
In the month before the wedding, there are SO many questions and final decisions that have to be made - it hits you like a tidal wave. Because Amanda had already worked with us, she knew what we were going for and what we wanted, what we struggled with and what we’d already done, so she helped us make decisions that supported what we hoped would be our perfect wedding day.
On the day of, everyone in the wedding party and our families said Amanda was calming, easy-going, and a grounding force. She knew what was happening, she corralled people, she communicated changes to the plan, all in a very calm way - so if there was a snaffoo, no one knew about it.
I trusted Amanda fully from day one - and I couldn’t be more grateful for her and everything she did for us. Our wedding day was perfect - it was perfectly us and exceeded every dream, vision, and Pinterest board. We wanted our wedding to feel home-y and relaxed; our guests raved about how beautiful and comfortable the atmosphere was for our wedding and Amanda supported that vision the entire way.
Thank you, Amanda and Pine Events Co., for every check-in and every reminder, supporting color changes and linen changes, advocating for what we wanted, helping keep everyone on track, and for genuinely making our wedding day the best day ever. We are beyond grateful.
If I could go back in time, I’d hire Amanda/Pine Events Co. sooner - it is worth every penny to have someone who is both an expert and a calming force on your side.
