What Couples Are Saying…
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! Could not recommend her enough. I had a 'DIY' wedding - with a marquee in the garden and various suppliers (catering, bar, loo, marquee, band , cake, photographer, florist...) Running up to the big day Amanda takes all the pain and stress away which allowed me to enjoy the run up, but I was also has some involvement and Amanda kept me up to date and we talked a lot - which was fab. I don't know what I would have done without Amanda on the day - she organised everything - kept the day running smoothly and has so much energy and enthusiasm. She also thinks of the all the little details that I would not have. Chris is also brilliant and did a fantastic job with the logistics. Could not recommend enough!”
— Steph & Alex
“Amanda did an absolutely amazing job coordinating our wedding, enabling us and our families to enjoy our day without worry, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We had a garden wedding at my parents house so there were lots of moving parts and we had multiple meetings, including two on site, in the run up. She combed through our plans and identified and advised on any potential issues, as well as answering all of our questions.
On the day she went above and beyond - coordinating all the suppliers and keeping everything on schedule of course, but also helping with lots of little things like putting out the flowers, setting up the garden games, putting out water for when our guests arrived, moving parasols around to keep people cool, turning on fairy lights for the evening, etc etc etc! I can't recommend her highly enough, especially to those going the DIY wedding route!.”
— Katharine & Josef
“Amanda, we cannot thank you enough for your amazing organisational skills. You went above and beyond in helping us and helped us through so many hurdles we faced the week of the wedding. We would recommend you a million times over to anyone who will listen! You were pure joy to work with and be around so thank you.”
— Bimmie & Matt
“I hired Amanda for my wedding day to ensure everything went smoothly. Amanda is highly organised and took a thorough briefing of the order of the day beforehand to enable her to deliver a perfect day for me and my husband. She dealt quickly and efficiently with any issues that arose using her initiative and expertise. She was extremely professional and obviously knows how to run a successful event. I can not recommend her highly enough.”
