Kind Words

“Choosing Amanda Paige Events as our wedding planner was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process.

From the very beginning, even before we had finalized our venue, Amanda and her team were there for us. I was searching for a planner who could guide us through the process while allowing our creativity and unique ideas to shine. Amanda not only understood this but also expertly managed all the stressful coordination with vendors and day-of responsibilities. Her presence was reassuring every step of the way, making me feel supported like a sister orchestrating my dream wedding. Amanda effortlessly understood my preferences and dislikes, intuitively knowing which vendors would align with our vision. She anticipated and addressed issues before they even came to my attention. For instance, on our wedding day, there was a potential crisis that would have resulted in us having ZERO chairs for the ceremony or reception. Amanda resolved it swiftly, ensuring that my husband and I enjoyed a flawless day without any stress. I genuinely cannot imagine navigating the wedding planning journey without Amanda and her exceptional team. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of her expertise and dedication."
