Events with Ambiance is absolutely stellar, and Amber is truly a treasure!
From the very first time we met with her, my partner and I were blown away by her bubbly personality, positive energy, and genuine warmth. She made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire process, and I never once doubted that we were in expert hands.
Amber is incredibly organized—something I especially appreciated as a busy bride! From the moment we signed our contract, she provided access to her detailed planning materials, which were absolutely superb. We chose the coordinating package, and although our main work with her ramped up closer to the wedding, Amber remained available throughout the planning process, answering every question promptly and offering helpful recommendations. Her planning tools kept us on track and gave us so much peace of mind!
Once we began our official planning meetings with Amber, I felt completely at ease. She was thorough, detailed, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring that every aspect of our day was covered. She even organized a vendor walkthrough ahead of the wedding, which made such a difference. On the actual day, I worried about absolutely NOTHING. Between Amber and her amazing assistant, Janae, I was able to be fully present and simply enjoy my wedding day with my husband.
The biggest gift Amber gave us was peace of mind. In the days leading up to the wedding, I was relaxed and able to soak in every moment—something I will forever be grateful for.
My family also could not stop raving about Amber! They commented on how professional, attentive, and fun she was, and how smoothly everything ran. From start to finish, Amber’s communication was seamless, her day-of coordination was flawless, and she executed every detail beautifully, keeping us perfectly on schedule.
Amber is not only a phenomenal coordinator—she’s an incredible person. We feel so lucky and grateful to have had her by our side during one of the biggest moments of our lives.
If you’re considering Events with Ambiance, book them immediately. Amber is truly exceptional, and working with her was one of the best decisions we made!
Amber (Events with Ambiance) is the absolute best wedding planner! Amber was a lifesaver for me while planning my November 2024 wedding. She is an experienced professional with incredible drive, communication, and organization skills that made my wedding day run smoothly. She has relationships with all popular vendors in town, and that made coordinating between vendors run well, since she was familiar with their working styles.
On the day of, Amber ran the show and everything was perfect! No detail went missed, and she ensured we had the best day ever!
If you're considering booking Amber and her team for wedding planning / coordination - do it! She was a joy to work with and made the process of wedding planning so much more streamlined than it would have been otherwise. I wish Amber could plan and coordinate all major events in my life!
Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart, and — aside from finding the right life partner, finding the right team to coordinate your perfect day is paramount. Amber and Events with Ambiance were the perfect partners for us, two creatives with a dynamic vision for our wedding. Working with Amber gave us the freedom to create our day on our own terms, as she guided us through the process, stepped in to pull us together when it became too overwhelming, and, ultimately, brilliantly brought our vision to life.
From flawlessly coordinating our venue and vendors to managing any and all hiccups and day-of stress (and wardrobe changes!), Amber was consistently ready with a smile, calm reassurance, and an immeasurable wealth of knowledge. With the help of her and her assistant Chelsey, our day was so gorgeous, memorable and personalized that our guests are still raving!
From start to finish, working with Events with Ambiance was an absolute pleasure. Amber made sure our wedding day (to include aspects of our planning process) were as smooth as possible. She took the time to work with our vision and excelled in working with finite details. Her punctuality ensured that everything went off without any issues. Their expertise and organized approach gave us peace of mind, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day, handling everything with grace and ease. If you are looking for someone to provide you with excellent service, making your wedding day unforgettable, my husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Events with Ambiance!
From the moment we began our journey with Amber, we knew we were in the hands of a masterful coordinator of unforgettable moments. As someone planning a wedding, the array of tasks and decisions can seem daunting, but Amber transformed what could have been an overwhelming process into a seamless, joyful journey toward our special day. Our hearts are full of gratitude for Amber, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple embarking on their wedding planning journey. Thank you, Amber, for making our day not just perfect, but profoundly ours.
Amber at Events with Ambiance was our wedding coordinator and I can’t say enough great things about working with her! From the first time I reached out to inquire, she was extremely responsive and communicative, which put us at ease during a process that can sometimes feel stressful. Amber always brought positive energy and it was clear she has a lot of experience and knew what she was doing. To start, Amber’s planning portal was extremely detailed and helpful for us, who had no idea where to start planning our wedding. It included spreadsheets for things like our guest list, planning checklist, vendor contact list, etc. It helped us think about things we didn’t even have on our radar. Amber’s vendor suggestions were all excellent, which was extremely helpful because we were overwhelmed by all the choices when just googling vendors in our area. When we got closer to the wedding, she started attending some of our vendor meetings with us, asking questions to ensure we had everything covered (again - things we didn’t have on our radar). Despite having other weddings/clients, she somehow remembered every single detail of our wedding without skipping a beat. Amber’s organization skills were extremely impressive (coming from a type A, organized person!).
On the day of, we didn’t think or stress about a single detail because of Amber and her amazing assistant! She worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors. If anything went wrong during the wedding, we still have no idea because she handled everything so we could enjoy our wedding day fully. We’re so thrilled with our experience with Amber and would 10/10 recommend working with her for your wedding coordination needs. THANK YOU Amber!
My partner and I were looking for a day of planner to help us execute on a our vision for our wedding. We had a very specific idea of what we wanted, so we know that we needed to find someone who could quickly understand our vision and help us make decisions in line with that vision.
I was talking to several planners, but the correspondence I had with Amber felt different, so we got on a video call. I knew right away I had found our person!! Amber brings all the joy and warmth you want for your wedding, balanced with a professionalism and attention to detail you need. She was SO amazing to work with leading up to the date.
On the day of the wedding, Amber was everything I had hoped for - clear on our vision, professional but also firm with our vendors, and took care of my partner and I at every step of the day. I could not have done this work without her. As someone who cares a lot about details and prides myself on my organization, Amber was able to match and surpass all my hopes for her. Thank you Amber!!!
As the event producer for Green Spoon Kitchen, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amber and her team at Events With Ambiance on several occasions and I HIGHLY recommend her. Amber runs a well oiled machine which is exactly what you need in a wedding planner. She is clear and communicative, quick to jump in when needed and VERY detailed!!! Not to mention, she’s a lot of fun! We always love working with Amber and think you would too.
Amber was AMAZING! She was very attentive, detail oriented, organized, and my right hand during planning and the wedding day. She advocated and was able to get everything we wanted for our special day. She is simply the best. I will definitely use her for future events.
We used Events with Ambiance for our third daughters wedding last night. My wife and I have done this twice before so we have some experience. We found Amber to be knowledgeable, efficient, very pleasant to deal with and most important very easy to contact. Having done two previous weddings for our two older girls being able to contact the planner with ease is probably one of the most important things. This is especially true if this is your first wedding. Amber and her assistant met and exceeded all of our expectations and I must admit I am very particular. Amber allowed my wife and I to just enjoy the marriage of our last daughter. Some people may want to take over but when that day actually arrives as a parent you want you and your daughter to just be in the moment and enjoy the experience. Amber will handle and anticipate ALL your potential problems and seamlessly take care of them. I HIGHLY recommend Amber and her company Events with Ambiance.
