We were one of the…read moremany pandemic couples who ended up having to postpone our wedding date twice between 2020 and 2021. Amber was there every step of the way, handled everything seamlessly, and went above and beyond to ensure we ended up having the best wedding. When we were first interviewing wedding planners after we had gotten engaged (2018), Amber came extremely prepared with examples of her work and sample files of how she plans/executes weddings. She was head and shoulders above anyone else we interviewed and we immediately knew she was the one. During the planning process, Amber was always there to answer my endless amount of questions and help me with my extreme indecisiveness. She is very organized and kept us on track for all things for our wedding (both financially and timeline-wise). She is very honest and all her recommendations for vendors were the absolute best/you couldn't go wrong with any of them. We were able to put our full trust in her very early on. When it came to design, Amber is very creative and has a great eye for everything. We had a very unconventional vision to capture the surreal vibe inspired by a horror movie called Annihilation (very colorful florals that don't exist in real-life and kind of have a weird/creepy vibe about them) and Amber was completely on board. We also added the extra complication of having so many different hanging installations for the florals and the lighting (a big disco ball installation with chandeliers) . She recommended the vendors that she thought would go best with our vision and we really ended up with the ultimate dream team. When finalizing design, I had a couple reservations about some of her color choices, but we ended up going with it and it couldn't have been more perfect. She is truly an expert! With the pandemic, she seamlessly handled coordinating with our vendors and was completely there for us even though she had the busiest wedding season of all time this past summer (2 wedding seasons in 1). We are truly grateful for all the work she had put in when her bandwidth was spread as thin as it was. In our final coordination meetings with all our vendors leading up to our wedding day, she really showcased her expertise by asking all the right questions to ensure everyone was prepared to have things running smoothly the day of. Without this, we honestly would have missed so many things and not have been able to enjoy our wedding day ourselves. Fast forward to our wedding day, her day of coordination was impeccable. I was relaxed the entire day and knew I could trust her with everything. We fully enjoyed our entire wedding day/night and were able to eat and party without any concerns. With the amount of coordination that was required from the many different vendors and the countless amount of installations that had be installed that day (lighting, SO many floral installations, etc.), it truly was executed perfectly. She was also just the best energy to have around and I cannot think of a single issue that happened. I highly recommend Amber as a planner, designer, and/or day-of coordinator for any of your event needs. She is very knowledgeable, organized (a perfectionist!), creative, responsive, and just an overall wonderful person. She goes above and beyond for all her clients and has a great eye for any type of design. Having her be in our lives for the past 3 years has been the best and we are so grateful to have met her and worked with her on our wedding. Our guests have all commented that our wedding is the best they've ever attended and we'll remember every single detail for the rest of our lives.

Malea was easy to talk to, professional, and has a great eye for design. We knew our wedding was in good hands after our first meeting with her. There are so many moving pieces with wedding planning and many things that we did not think of, but she made it easy for us to know what we needed to do. It was also very helpful that she communicated with vendors for us during our planning months. I can't imagine how many emails she saved us from. She is also very responsive and answered any questions we had. She helped immensely with the design portion of our wedding. She curated a beautiful vision from florals, linens, signage and more! On the wedding day, Malea made sure that everything ran smoothly, and we could just enjoy the day worry free. As my new husband said, "We couldn't imagine the hours of therapy we would have needed without Malea." Thank you, A. Renee Weddings & Events!

We worked with Emily and would recommend her to EVERYONE with no hesitations. She is professional,…read moreknowledgeable, funny, detail-oriented, and an absolute logistic powerhouse. We worked with her in a day-of-coordinator capacity, in which she had multiple meeting with us before the wedding, sent us a Google Drive full of organizational resources that made our planning so smooth, reviewed all our vendor contracts, and answered random wedding industry-related questions that we had. On the day before our wedding, we had a venue walk-through with her, in which she coordinated details with the venue liaison, and she also led rehearsal. What is most worth your investment is what happens on the day-of. I told Emily my goal was to not make any decisions that day except how many slices of cake I was going to have, and that's exactly what happened. She took care of everything - set up, tear down, vendor coordination, decor, helping to wrangle family for photos, the flow of the evening, the rhythm of the processional, and I'm sure she did a thousand other things we didn't even notice. At one point in the night I asked for a pen and she appeared 5 seconds later with one in hand. Her presence allowed us to fully enjoy being in the moment and also took pressure off our friends and family so they could relax as well. We would recommend Emily's work to any of our friends and family.

Whether you are planning a regal ceremony with hundreds of guests, or a quaint little gathering I can provide the service, professionalism and quality that you desire. Let's ease some of the wedding jitters and work together to make an unforgetable moment for you and your partner. Your wedding ceremony will be in your style and in your location. It can be a non-denominational or civil ceremony reflecting your personal taste or family traditions. Simple or elaborate, formal or informal, the wedding can take place indoor or out, at a home, hotel, park or elsewhere. Occasionally couples choose a small, private ceremony in their home or garden. A couple begins by contacting us by phone or e-mail and reserving a wedding date and time. Some couples will reserve a date a year or more in advance. Other couples will call just days or weeks before a wedding. I can meet informally with most couples well before the wedding to plan the ceremony and to learn all the surrounding details e.g. size of the wedding party, music, photography, etc. Then we sketch the outlines of a ceremony and respect the current values and traditions of each couple. Each wedding is a statement of love and commitment, of deep hopes and fondest dreams. I will work with you so that your unique wedding ceremony will be perfect for you, your families and guests.

She is organized, passionate, and so so kind. In our first in-person meeting, Wendy didn't just walk through her services, she delivered a vision! She is constantly thinking of details that we might overlook and never hesitated to change course with us when something came up. Wendy's been in the wedding business for a long time and has strong relationships with fellow vendors. Wendy arrived early on the day of the wedding and helped us get set up, made sure to check in on us as we got ready, and brought such great energy! I did not have the worry for a moment and my husband and I got to enjoy every moment of that day. Wendy is the best, and we would recommend her to all our friends and family!

I had always dreamed of a floral wall at my wedding, but what she did was better than I could have even imagined. Not being very educated in florals, I had an overall idea of what I wanted, but didn't really know exactly what that was. She was so good about showing me different options to see what I liked and didn't, and also guided me to be sure that the florals would be appropriate and what would be within my budget. When I walked into the room for the "first venue look" I was blown away. It truly was like I was stepping into my dream wedding. She somehow knew exactly what I wanted, even though I couldn't describe it. She was so helpful throughout the entire process, every question was answered quickly which really helped to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress.
