Tailored Engagements

e to your company because literally my wedding day wouldn't have been amazing as it was without you. From Amanda F. who is the cofounder and owner of this company to Julie M. and her assistant Sarah. They all worked so hard the month of and the day of, making sure everything ran smoothly. We were lost from the beginning, we didn't know all the important details that came along with a wedding ... they opened up our eyes and answered our questions. They gave input from their experiences with other vendors and they made sure we worked with the best. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING TAILORED ENGAGEMENTS

wedding from another state and they really helped with the planning and keeping us on track. I think we were able to enjoy our wedding that much more knowing we had nothing to worry about and that we were in the best hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

dn't have to. I would recommend them to anyone!

nks, decorations, set up, take down, and really did not have an event contact. Despite being quite organized people, we wanted to avoid stressing ourselves, family and friends out close to the day of and decided to go with their Cake package. Julie was fabulous in tying up loose ends in the weeks before the wedding, calling and confirming our vendors and making sure we had everything figured out. She ran our rehearsal, helped make sure the venue was set up perfectly, made sure everyone was on time. Our wedding went so smoothly and everything went off without a hitch. Many of my family members could not stop gushing about how fabulous Julie and her assistant were the day of. Initially, we were a little hesitant to hire a wedding planner, but it was well worth the money even on our relatively frugal, DIY budget.

on and identifying the details, and Julie partnered with us later in the process and handled everything the weeks leading up to and the day of the wedding. Not only are they super sweet and fun to work with, but they helped provide advice and recommendations for all aspects of our wedding. We wouldn't have known about most of our vendors if it weren't for them, and leveraging their relationships, we understood the ins and outs of planning for the big day. Any minor issues that arose in the process - they had great solutions. And if anything happened during the day of the wedding - well, we didn't know about it :) It was like having a best friend and partner available through the process - it never seemed like a working relationship. My entire family and my husband's family are so very thankful for all of the work that Amanda and Julie put in - going above and beyond. It made our wedding relaxing and a real dream come true. I would recommend them for anyone and everyone!!

e) and allowed me to be 100% in the moments. I would recommend to anyone! My parents and all involved loved Julie and we all thought this was the most well-spent money of the whole wedding process. Thank you Julie and Amanda!!

she worked with my daughter to plan details, made suggestions and served as mediator between vendors and the couple. All of this I heard about from my daughter and it sounded great, but the magnitude of the impact Julie had on this day was only apparent when we arrived for the wedding. Julie was on site early, took us through the process and just clearly had everything under control. She was prepared for any question, “don’t worry, it’s taken care of”, “relax, that's been done”… Having never been in a wedding, much less my daughter’s, we were pretty clueless-where to go, what comes next etc. Julie led everyone through their paces with a smile and patient understanding…. The evening passed in a blur and every time I saw her Julie had an eagle eye out, taking care of every little thing. We all just left the reception without a care and in the morning, the dress, the cake, the guest book… everything was at the front desk tidy and ready for us to pick up. The gifts had been whisked to the bridal suite during dinner.. In reliving it I can’t believe how many details were taken care of.. many things I am sure I didn’t even know were going on. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the wedding day was! Given the stories one hears, I know that the smooth, calm day we had was due in no small part to Julie’s direction. I give her my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation, she will make your day the dream come true that everyone hopes for!!!

e in terms of making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be and, when our DJ decided NOT to play the songs on our playlist (fun!), Julie was on it immediately. All of our guests raved about how much fun they had and we did dance quite a lot! Overall, I know that our wedding wouldn't have been a success without Tailored Engagements.

be taken care of! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and there is no way I could have enjoyed it as much without Julie there!

on, so I needed a little help! Amanda helped me throughout all the planning and was a great resource for me in all my decision making. And my wedding coordinator Julie was an extremely helpful addition to my day :) She was always available and felt like a friend by the end of the night! I was able to relax and enjoy moments with my family and friends because I knew that things were taken care of. The entire reception was set up beautifully and the entire night ran smoothly and was so organized. I highly recommend using Tailored Engagements, especially if you're a bride who tends to have a lot on her plate and needs some guidance and organization to help you through.

helpful in making sure that all of the details were confirmed during those three weeks. She also attended my rehearsal, even though it was very last minute for her to fit that into her schedule. I had a large wedding and there was not a minute during my wedding day that I felt the need to coordinate/direct traffic. She was so supportive and so thorough in everything – from the ceremony and reception hall set up to keeping order with a large wedding party, she gave my mom, sister and I a chance to relax throughout the day and just enjoy ourselves. We had several compliments from our guests as well – they “wished they’d have had a planner like her”, and just overall impressed with her services. She was so kind and so professional. I would definitely trust and highly recommend tailored engagements to anyone looking to hire a planner/coordinator for their wedding. You will not be disappointed! --Kendra Z.

d us wrong. She always had great advice and set us up with the most amazing crew! When looking for a planner I wanted someone extremely organized, detail-oriented and relaxed - Amanda has all those qualities and more! She has great connections to vendors in the area and responds to emails really quickly! My moto from the beginning was “trust the professionals” because I wanted to enjoy my own wedding and not have to worry about micro-managing all the details, and Amanda did an amazing job! You will be so lucky to work with her!

aving a wedding planner would help us all enjoy the actual wedding day better even though I thought I could handle the details. But after our initial hour-long meeting with Amanda, I was giddy. Even my mom noticed the immediate wave of relaxation that came over my face. Throughout my 15 month engagement, Amanda was exactly what I needed. She was efficient, relaxed, unbelievably supportive, and the perfect sounding board for my ideas or frustrations. She answered my e-mails immediately, checked in with me regularly, and even helped me make decisions by suggesting solutions I hadn't even thought of. I was convinced that hiring her was the best purchase we had made well before the wedding took place but 2 months after I said "I do" that I realized she was superwoman. I was asked to be a personal attendant for one of my best friends 7 weeks after my own wedding. I was confident that I could handle all of the details flawlessly since they were all still fresh in my mind... but I was wrong. My feet were blistered by the time the ceremony began and then I realized there were a thousand details Amanda handled behind the scenes but never bothered me with them so I could enjoy myself. She acted on my behalf, always having my best interest in mind. I'm eternally grateful because I'll be able to look back on my wedding year after year with a smile and wonderful memories. Unfortunately, my friend can't quite say the same since she had to worry all day long about who had been tipped, and whether or not the officiant had arrived on time. Thanks, Amanda!

lf and just hire her for month-of services and consulting Amanda will tailor a package that fits your needs. (2) CONSULTATIVE (not controlling) - Amanda knows that it is Your vision for Your wedding day and offers great ideas without trying to impose her ideas, preferences or vendors on you. (3) KNOWLEDGEABLE - choosing a planner who knows the vendors/space well and has many years experience in handling the various curveballs that could arise is key…..Amanda is extremely calm under pressure and that allows the bride and groom to relax knowing things are in very capable hands. (4) PERSONABLE - you spend more time with your planner than any other vendor you hire for your wedding so you need to like hanging out with them….Amanda is so sweet and personable that you feel like she is a long-time friend not a vendor. (5) STYLE MATTERS - every bride and groom has ideas for their wedding but there will be some aspects of the design that you will want help with so you want a Planner with great ideas and personal style….Amanda's ideas are unique, creative, personalized and elegant which is a great mix for producing a gorgeous wedding that reflects you as a couple. (6) RESPONSIVENESS - every email I sent Amanda in planning our wedding was answered same day, usually within hours….whether she is between meetings or off to a wedding she always takes time to answer any questions you have. (7) PROFESSIONAL - your wedding planner has to manage all of your other vendor relationships so you want one who is organized, courteous and well respected in the industry…..Amanda is all of these things (8) PROACTIVE - Amanda doesn't just handle the tasks you hire her for, she anticipates what would be helpful to the bride and groom throughout the process, proactively offering her team's help w/ additional tasks/errands in areas where (based on her experience) could reduce some stress on the couple or best ensure your wedding is 100% the best it can be in every way…if that means putting in extra time/effort, Amanda just does it, you don't even have to ask (9) RELIABLE - on your wedding day you want to sit back and enjoy, knowing everything will be executed as you had hoped…Amanda executed our (very complex) wedding to perfection, we're very thankful! (10) SUCCESS - if we learned one thing in the past year planning our wedding it is that hiring Amanda as our Planner and then an excellent team of vendors (that she and others recommended) was the #1 reason our wedding was as successful and enjoyable for us as it was. You may think you don't really need a Planner but my strong suggestion is to hire Amanda for whatever aspects You need. There are an enormous amount of tasks involved in pulling off a great wedding--it's worth every dollar, trust me.

d in your planning as you need. Her vendor recommendations are top notch and her taste is perfection. She takes the time to understand your wedding priorities (as well as your personal likes/dislikes) and helps you execute the wedding of your dreams. Our wedding day exceeded my expectations in every way, and I attribute that to Amanda and her team. I was able to truly enjoy and savor all moments of our wedding...moments that are fleeting and so very special!

gh about how organized, prompt and professional she is. She has built strong connections with some of the BEST vendors in the city who have the same professionalism. A huge bonus! Everyone at our wedding complemented to the highest degree how wonderful our wedding was; the food, the flowers, the photos..all thanks to Amanda! It was everything I dreamed and more. I love how she did not pressure us to follow all the trends, simply gave us the reassurance we needed with every decision. Even if you hire her for the day of, month of events...SO worth every penny! My husband was not sold on having a planner at first...but now it is all he can talk about! I believe a wedding should be one of the happiest moments in life. I witness so many brides stress over details that can simply be alleviated by hiring an experienced planner like Amanda. I feel very fortunate for having come across Tailored Engagements and grateful for all the hard work Amanda and her team endured to make our day perfect.

er and how helpful she was. She did everything from setting up a budget to keep me on track, recommending vendors, looking over contracts to coordinating design elements. I am a busy girl, and Amanda was so organized and kept me on track throughout the wedding process to prevent a long to do list the week of the wedding. Amanda attended meetings and confirmed agenda items because I live out of state. She was attentive and responded right away whenever I needed anything. The 'big day' was truly a dream because of her hard work. I would definitely recommend her to help plan your next event. Thank you for making my big day amazing Amanda ;). You will be missed!

f time to arrange the smoothest most stress-free wedding. As a groom I was probably most in the dark about all of the above. We met with Amanda about 11 months ahead of our wedding and we clicked right away. She's very easy-going, unlike some really uptight wedding planners we also met with. But that easy-going nature certainly doesn't mean she skimps on the services. She is highly professional, maintains detailed notes about what you want out of your wedding, and does lots of the work of dealing with some less than friendly vendors. My only regret is that we didn't ask her to do more, but for us maintaining tight control over our day was very important and she was more than accommodating. Our parents were a little skeptical of us getting a planner in the first place, but they were married in a different time. For us, navigating the wedding industry without Amanda would have been a total nightmare. With her on our side, we felt much more at ease 9 months, 6 months, 3 months, 3 weeks before our wedding, and most of all on our wedding day.

ated. She is/was consistently responsible. I will definitely be referring her to my friends! Amanda was always there for me whenever I needed her. I would highly recommend her for any party planning event. My wedding day would not have gone as smoothly as it did had Amanda not been there. I feel so fortunate to have worked with her! She made our wedding dream come true.

led the interview with Amanda, and within the first 15 minutes, we both knew she was perfect...a neutral party, with awesome ideas, flexible to what the bride was looking for, and offering support and a service we really needed. She was a cure for my worrying during the preparation, and truthfully, made the "day of" an absolute dream. We didn't realize just exactly how many last minute things she handled / directed until weeks later. She was a calming influence during preparation, and even more so on that very special day. Not having been involved in a family wedding for more than 20 years, things have changed, and she was there to guide us every step of the way. In retrospect, it was the best money spent in the whole budget, because it allowed the bride and groom to just enjoy their day, yet make sure it was what they wanted. They knew the details were being taken care of. I wholeheartedly recommend her services!

t we were looking for, and especially with trying to plan from out-of-town, her vendor recommendations were incredibly helpful. Amanda is one of the most professional individuals I have ever worked with, and she surrounds herself with people of the same caliber, including the vendors with whom she has built strong relationships. On top of all of the pre-planning, I would say that her day-of services alone would have been worth all of it - We didn't have to worry about a thing, and it is amazing how many "things" there could be throughout the day if it wasn't for her and her team. Thank you so much, Amanda, for going above and beyond expectations in virtually ever way possible!

s from all over Wisconsin and Illinois. Amanda was able to tie everything together seamlessly. Amanda was by far our best purchase. The day of your wedding is such an important day that you shouldn't feel overwhelmed with questions and things to do. Amanda is able to handle all of those last minute details. You can tell that Amanda has done this before. She seemed to be prepared for everything that could come up.

ttentive to detail, and an excellent quarterback to make certain everything went smoothly as we wished it to occur. Her services were five star in our opinion!

r imagined it would be. In the beginning, she helped me hone in on a specific vision and style for the wedding since I felt a bit unsure about what exactly I wanted...I just knew I wanted something amazing. And that is exactly what I got :) Amanda had a lot of diy ideas to help us cut some costs, but still look amazing. She definitely has an eye for detail and an ability to understand exactly what her bride wants. We didn't see the finished styling of our reception until the day of and I was completely in shock. I knew Amanda did amazing work, but it was beyond anything I imagined. She worked so hard on every little detail and nailed it. I had friends and family come up and tell me that ours was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. We can't thank you enough Amanda, our wedding was perfect and so beautiful!

would have thought of on my own. I had so many plans of what I thought I should do, but Amanda was really encouraging but was also great at bringing me back to reality and giving me tips on things I could easily do, and what was going to cause me a bigger headache in the end. And she was so right! I laugh a lot with my family about was a mess my wedding would have been without Amanda's advice. (Just her tip on alphabetizing the place cards the night before saved me hours on my wedding day - who knew I would be so bad at knowing the alphabet under pressure??) One thing I loved most about Amanda is how she shared her own experiences about her own wedding and about other brides she's worked with. It's clear she knows what she's doing and has been there, done that. I just love what a "real" person she is. I would highly recommend her!

and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone planning a wedding. She thinks of every detail and has wonderful style. She made the wedding day flawless -- as the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Everyone had a blast at our wedding, and it was all thanks to Amanda at Tailored Engagements!

l notes on everything that I needed. She asked all the right questions and would respond quickly whenever I needed something. It was wonderful to have Amanda taking care of things on my wedding day, and she even ran my rehearsal for us. She put out a few fires for me the day of the wedding, which made my day that much more enjoyable. She took care of all of the details, so that I had nothing to worry about at the end of the night.

me feel so comfortable and at ease that my wedding day would be perfect. Amanda handled everything the day of and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a worry free wedding day. We had to completely change our ceremony arrangements due to weather 2 hours before guests were to arrive but I did not have to worry because I knew Amanda had it all taken care of and our new indoor location would be just as beautiful as the one outside. My future mother-in-law was her biggest skeptic and after the wedding she told me the wedding could not have turned out as perfect as it did without Amanda’s help. Amanda is simply amazing!

g. But of ALL the decisions that we made for our wedding, it was absolutely the best. Hiring Amanda took a huge weight off of my shoulders, and we only hired her for styling, setup, and clean up. Looking back, if I had known what great work she does, and how WORTH the money she is to hire, I would have gone with the full package right from the beginning. We now know for certain that without Amanda's help, our wedding would not have turned out the way it did. Elegant, beautiful, "tailored".... it was everything we wanted and more; we were so happy with her services. She does great work, is extremely dependable, and very intuitive. I say the same thing that an earlier reviewer wrote "do not plan a wedding without Amanda"... go with Tailored Engagements and I promise that you won't be disappointed!

ovides me with so many different options to choose from and presents them in such a concise and condensed way. It REALLY saves me so much time from researching everything and Amanda always has ideas that are unique and in line with my taste and style. Amanda has been a very calming force throughout my wedding planning process, whenever I start to feel nervous or overwhelmed, she is reassuring and goes above and beyond her role as a planner to make me feel relaxed and excited throughout the planning process. Amanda's most amazing talent is DESIGN. She creates the most beatiful tablescapes and decor and has the ingenuity to create an atmosphere for your wedding that is more beautiful than most can even imagine.

me design the reception and ceremony. Every detail was beautiful, and we got so many compliments on the wedding and how elegant everything looked. My wedding wouldn’t have been anywhere near what it was without Amanda!

ave a fantastic evening. Tailored Engagements made that wish a reality. And my Mom said, "Amanda was so sweet, kind and helpful". I truly enjoyed working with Amanda! We planned the wedding in about 8 weeks, and without Amanda's skill and guidance it would not have been the wonderful event it turned out to be. Cheers to Amanda - she is amazing. She truly deserves to be on the A+ list for wedding stylist in the greater Milwaukee area. Once again, thank you for creating a romantic, intimate, and wonderful day for us.

, and helped us stay on track as the big day approached. We only went out a couple times before the wedding and she had everything planned out that we needed to see and make decisions on which took a lot of the stress out for us. The day of the wedding Amanda was there with her assistant and it made the whole day go so smoothly. From setup to take down, Amanda was there to make sure everything went without a hitch and was just the way we wanted it! We even rented some decorations from her that made the reception decor amazing! If you are looking at a few wedding planners and are undecided or you have just started, Amanda is professional, experienced and listens to what you want and makes it happen!

ave never seen before and also had her by my day of coordinator. She is a great listener and has the best ideas and also wants to save you money! Amanda and her team did a great job setting everything up the day of and were always there for me! Amanda responds to emails quickly and always kept me up to date on my budget I set with her in the beginning. She is a great wedding planner!

nd made sure that everything was confirmed, helped me hunt down esther fleming to make sure that my flowers would be in order, and just helped with odd ball arrends. She was truly worth the money and made the day of go so smoothly. My family still raves about how the night kept flowing so well.

hin your budget and giving you the best available wedding options. Amanda has many years of event planning experience and the passion to go along with it. This winning combination will make your event a complete success. I highly recommend Tailored Engagements for your next event.

a couple. Amanda did an amazing job finding vendors we loved, managing the budget, and making sure we were getting everything done. On our wedding day we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even dropped off the gifts the next morning at our gift opening and returned rental items for us. You won’t be sorry if you hire Amanda and her team! She helped so much. I'm sure anyone in Milwaukee would be lucky to have her. Natalie (and Todd)

g the bride needed. My friend is very picky and she would not have been able to relax and enjoy the day without Amanda. After seeing what Tailored Engagements helped with at the wedding I will be suggesting them to all of my friends who get engaged!

able to make our day special in so many ways, and made our wedding flow effortlessly. Her attention to details is unparalleled. Our guests still talk about how much fun our wedding was, and it was all thanks to Amanda and the Tailored Engagements team for allowing our family to relax and enjoy each moment while they worried about the details. Every aspect of our wedding captured who Andrew and I are as a couple. I cannot even begin to thank Tailored Engagements for how wonderful they made our special day!

t only coordinated the day of our wedding but helped in so many other ways. She was a great resource for questions as well as advice and took over all of the details a few weeks before the wedding so that we could focus on each other, our friends and family. Amanda confirmed vendors, helped with the timeline and made sure all of the details were in place. I am so glad we had the Tailored Engagements team to carry out our vision!

pull that off. I hired Amanda and her team and they made sure that everything was set up how I wanted it. Amanda was so professional and the diagrams and check lists she put together for me really set my mind at ease. My Mom loved that she didn’t have to run around ensuring everything was right all day. I ended up with the perfect day and could not be happier!

it was one of the best decisions I made. I liked all of the planning, I didn't mind making the calls and doing all of the leg work but it was great to have someone help me with the design of the day. My wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful without Amanda.

ving us money. We actually came in under budget and were able to put the extra towards our down payment for our house! You will gain back her fee and more, and not having to set-up or clean-up at my wedding was amazing!

th anything along the way Amanda was there, if I had a problem Amanda was there. On the day of the wedding Amanda did everything!! Do not plan a wedding without her!!

to deal with. She booked appointments, tracked the budget, researched the best solutions and solved problems as they came up. All I had to do was pick out everything I wanted. She even gave me great advice to ensure that everything looked great together. I would not want to plan my wedding any other way!
