That One Little Detail Event Planning

or were positive but ultimately unhelpful or inapplicable. This will not be anything like that. I worked with Amanda Watson for approximately one year to plan two multicultural weddings twice due to Covid 19 postponements. We encountered significant setbacks in the form of scheduling difficulties, location, city ordinances, and of course parental involvement. Responsiveness: Amanda gives her personal number, her email, and was available for phone call/video call/text nearly 18/24 hours of the day. Early in the planning stages before the first cancellation, we would speak to her once or twice a month as everything was preliminary. As we approach the date, the communications became weekly, twice-weekly, and ultimately daily. There was no point where I felt that Amanda had failed to get back to us about anything important, and she was specific and clear when she needed more than one day to resolve a matter. Professionalism: absolutely no concerns. She remained pleasant, kind, and had an excellent sense of humor. This was a multicultural multi-ethnic wedding, and was a novel experience for her as well as us. She was able to navigate multiple idiosyncrasies of both of our cultures without any major issues. Both of our parents were able to communicate with her. It is important that you stay proactive as a client with Amanda, so that matters can be resolved efficiently. Day of: our wedding was a moving target given Covid 19 restrictions, and a multiple location setting, and back to back weddings (Friday and Saturday). This was by no means an easy task, but Amanda was able to coordinate the two days, was able to put together a hour by hour schedule, and most importantly, was able to improvise when snafus happened on the day of, all the while having contingency plans for when people were late. She was even kind enough to bring me ginger beer after my beach photo shoot, so that I stay hydrated. Vendor connections: Amanda has expertise in this field of event planning, and has relationships with multiple vendors, which may provide a discount. We initially were going to piecemeal our vendors ourselves, but found a all-inclusive vendor through Amanda. This vendor ultimately fell apart, but it was a convenience that would not of been afforded to us if we had not met her. as a small aside, she also has items such as center table bases, sparklers, and other knickknacks that are commonly forgotten at weddings. Final thoughts: as I mentioned before, it's difficult to gauge how well an event planner will work for your wedding as it strongly depends on the various details. I would say that for a wedding that was originally planned to be 200 to 300 people for the first one, and a 50-100 person waiting for the second one, back to back with cultural hurdles in the setting of COVID 19, Amanda was perfect. I would strongly recommend her services for your event.

uble or triple what it cost to hire her. She does floral design, saving us TONS on our floral costs (she did the arch, bouquets, etc you can see in the photos). She lets her clients use all her existing decor at no cost (for example the big gold hoops at our reception in the photos), on top of helping us find wonderful vendors for other items (cake, dress alterations, rentals, etc.) at great prices. More importantly, she took charge of the event completely on wedding day allowing us to enjoy every minute of our day instead of worrying about the event logistics. I was originally planning to do everything myself due to a limited budget (and my love of DIY), but realized partway through that some professional day-of support would allow me to actually enjoy the moment. Amanda gave me soo much more than just day-of help! She started helping with advice and recommendations right away, and her attention to detail gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. Getting married during covid was difficult and required a lot of extra care to keep everyone safe, and Amanda took the lead on that as well. It was also raining on our wedding day, so Amanda simultaneously set up in door and outdoor options and quickly moved forward with the outdoor setting when the rain cleared just before the ceremony. I interviewed 9 other planners before deciding to work with Amanda and I can promise you she is a special find. If you’re thinking about whether she’s worth it or not, stop thinking - she’s worth it, hire Amanda!

ostpone until Winter 2021. Amanda made the process of postponing seamless. Despite all the uncertainty because of the pandemic, Amanda has been supportive, reassuring, and has taken the lead when necessary, with every decision we have made. Since having to postpone our big wedding, my husband and I still wanted to get married this year. Amanda took the lead to create the most beautiful & perfect wedding day. She knew how concerned I was about following health & safety guidelines, and created the most intimate, beautiful, and unforgettable day (with only 10 days of planning!). Amanda always makes time to chat, console, and give advice throughout the process. After seeing what she can put together in 10 days, we can't wait to see how perfect our wedding celebration will be in Winter 2021. Amanda and That One Little Detail is a MUST to have for your wedding!

the way she works- she looks at every last detail and helped us create AMAZING wedding!! If you’re looking for an amazing, caring, dedicated wedding planner- she’s the one for you! We love you Amanda!!! ❤️❤️❤️

ortless. She always made herself available to meet up based around my schedule, visited vendors with me, and she provided so many little details and accents for the wedding decor that saved me hundreds of dollars. Most importantly, on the wedding day, she made it seem as though everything went off without a hitch, even when there were issues with vendors or deliveries. Her entire team is incredibly discreet and professional. I would recommend Amanda and the That One Little Detail team to anyone!

will personally go up to you, tap you on the shoulder and let you know where you need to be), has tons of decor to lend, brings a team to help set up and break down, will play intermediary between you and your vendor if you need her to and will answer any and all questions you may have about weddings. -------------------------- I'm a hyper-organized, pragmatic, DIY kind of girl but I also know there are limits to how much a person can DIY. My friend's all recommended that a day-of-planner was a must and so I set out looking for one. Most planners / day of that I contacted essentially wanted to do full wedding planning and the one day-of-planner that I did find had all kinds of red tape as far as what she would and would not do (would not touch xyz vendor's furniture, would only put decor under a certain size). I grew disheartened and gave up until my fiancé miraculously found the kind soul that is Amanda. During our first phone call with Amanda, I felt IMMEDIATELY relieved. She re-assured me that everything would get done and she was ready and willing to jump in no matter what the situation. I was initially sheepish and wanted to make sure to keep her load as light as possible but she again re-assured me that nothing I mentioned or requested was ridiculous or out of scope. Up to the week of our wedding, Amanda touched base with both our vendors and ourselves and helped us make sure all ducks were in line as far as timing, insurance requirements, etc. She also gave us feedback re: decor, wedding customs and misc things. While discussing decor, Amanda graciously let us know what items she could lend so that we didn't have to buy items for one time use. The day of the wedding, Amanda was an absolute champ. She showed up extremely early with her team and they had been well on their way through set up by the time I got to the venue. There were little snags here and there and Amanda approached my fiancé and I with calm and ease for our decision / direction and then carried them out. As the night wore on and everyone became more loose, Amanda was the one that kept it all together. Her and her team broke down the tables, chairs and misc. decor and returned everything to their place and also helped load whatever was our personal belongings to our cars. I woke up astonished at her impeccable attention to detail and ability to keep track of everything. After the wedding, there was a bit of a snafu with one of our vendors and Amanda was able to provide an extremely detailed account of what occurred so that we were able to approach that vendor and ask for compensation. All in all, I have nothing but extreme gratitude for Amanda. You NEED her. Do not question it. You'll have a friend to lean on during what is a stressful process so that you can enjoy the company of your friends and family.

for her services and it would be worth every cent. We hired her only as a day of coordinator, but she was helping us resolve issues from the very beginning. If you want the peace of mind to focus on the important things the day of you wedding you definitely want to hire her. We are so grateful to her and her team for everything! True professionals from start to finish that made all the difference on our wedding day. Thank you so much Amanda!
