From sending me ideas, scoping out the location beforehand and sending me videos, helping set up a photographer, suggesting dates and times, and setting the scene beautifully, she really took the stress out of the situation and let me focus on the actual proposal, even though I ended up forgetting the ring in the car lol!! After the proposal we had a musician play a private concert for us while we popped some champagne to celebrate! Thanks again Kelsey! She was awesome to work with and helped make our day special. Couldn't be happier with everything she did, highly recommend!

I wanted to plan an awesome wine tasting tour for the wife's significant birthday. My wife is #6 of…read more6 sisters and I knew she would love to spend this time with her sisters since we live away. This has been years in the planning by the way. I was struggling with how to plan something special for a group of 6 without busting the bank and still getting a great experience. I heard about Kathy & Jim's "The Bus Stop Pismo Beach" tour through a niece. I will tell you this was perfect! First, Kathy & Jim are two of the sincerest people you will meet. They both are members at wineries throughout the Edna Valley, so they know their stuff and they love (almost passionate about... ) wines from this valley. One of the sisters is a a wine lover and shared that every winery that Kathy took them too was some of the best ones to visit. Every stop we had a reserved area so Kathy put in the time and catered the tour to us. But it didn't stop there! They included an afternoon snack time at one of the wineries and they shared local products from the valley too. Again, they are passionate about their valley and it extends beyond the wine. The best part of for me was the ride. It is a working, vintage VW Bus!!! This experience took the sister-in-laws back to their glory days; lol... Kathy was the perfect host. She related to the girls and still hosted a professional and memorable guided tour. If you are looking for a fun, memorable experience...do not pass up this one!!!

My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with TJ for our wedding. From the very…read morebeginning, he was incredibly personable, upbeat, and easy to connect with - we immediately felt like we were in good hands. He truly understood our vision without us having to over-explain, and he executed it flawlessly. Our biggest request was to keep the dance floor full all night, and TJ completely delivered. The energy never dropped, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Not only is he an amazing DJ who knows how to read the room, but he's also a fantastic MC - everything flowed seamlessly and felt effortless. We're so grateful we had TJ as part of our day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. You will not regret it.

I hired Pulcinella for my wedding, approx one year prior to the actual event date and while I…read moreappreciate the initial effort to site check my property for compatibility, the communication and satisfaction ended there. I had tried to get in touch with Kym regarding the pizza menu and certain special requests. After repeated emails and phone calls, plus an extra Yelp inquiry to nudge her, I finally got a response. My planner also reached out several weeks before the wedding with no success. This was a recurring issue. I understand wedding season is busy but my planner and myself were not contacted until 6-7 days prior to my wedding. There were other logistical things to figure out and the communication fell absolutely short. I also requested in multiple emails that I would like to purchase extra cheeseboards/grazing boards to have a more elaborate spread. This was never acknowledged so I had assumed I would be billed later or extra charges on my invoice would cover the request. Nope- they ran out of food incredibly early for my cocktail hour and did not even clear the area. At the actual event, I had 60 people and purchased food for 68 to account for vendors etc. There were 3 small pizza trays on a table and they were being eaten by a single table at a time. Some people did not receive food or waited so long they just gave up and ate meatballs and salad. I acknowledge that the DJ called guests too quickly. Not the catering team's fault. But even when he slowed down and people were fine waiting, it was still an abnormally long wait. There could have been a second table or more pizza trays or something. 3, 10-11" pizzas to be split amongst a table of ten is not reasonable. The slices are thin and people started taking bigger portions of sides cuz there wasn't enough pizza in time. I understand that there was an issue with where the "kitchen" was set up, versus where the food table was located (a 200 ft walk), but there was extra staff to assist. Also- this issue could have been solved much earlier and planned better IF THERE WAS COMMUNICATION. So disappointed. When people actually did get food, they said the pizza was good but I've had good pizza elsewhere and that's where I'll be going for it. The star is for the meatballs which is all I ate as the bride. I was one of the people that gave up on pizza since it took so long. My husband said it was good but he also only got a single piece. Bummer.

I'm not your typical bride, my now husband is not your typical groom, and the event we planned was…read morenot your typical wedding. To start off, we are both very busy. My husband is an architect working full time for a local design firm and starting his own business. I'm a full-time COVID epidemiologist, an almost full-time grad student, and a research assistant. We are also both (former) fire performers and we've been heavily involved in bringing art and participatory activity to the Burning Man festival for our entire relationship and then some. We've also amassed an incredible, tight-knit, hilarious, loving community of friends over the years in addition to our families who we are also very close with (and who are also a colorful cast of characters on their own!). The wedding we wanted was one in which we could bring our authentic selves and allow our friends and family to meet, mingle, and form lasting bonds over a weekend of laughter, love, and mischief. We found a perfect venue but their availability meant that we only had 6 months to plan the whole thing. At first, we tried to do it on our own, but we quickly became overwhelmed. In a stroke of pragmatic genius just 2 months before the event, my mom decided to hire a wedding coordinator. At first, I told her we didn't need one, but looking back that was absolutely naive of me, because we definitely should have hired someone as soon as we set the date. When my mom hired Amanda and her team, every vendor we spoke to enthusiastically told us that Amanda was THE BEST. They were certainly right! Amanda scheduled a virtual meeting with us right away to discuss our vision and what we'd need help with, and right from the get-go she was professional, organized, kind, and on-board with our shenanigans. Over the next two months, her and her amazing team gently pushed us to organize our ideas and make plans for the things we had not figured out yet all while respecting how frazzled and busy we were. The weekend of the event finally rolled around, and I met the rest of Amanda's team on-site. Not only were they all some of the nicest people I've ever met, but they worked like a well-tuned machine. When I woke up groggy and mildly hungover on Saturday morning, Amanda's team was already in action. As I got my makeup done and was transformed from a sweaty mess into a beautiful bride, the team checked in on me and the guests and buzzed around the venue getting things done. Not once did I have to interrupt my prep to deal with logistics. The ceremony itself was overwhelmingly beautiful and my heart aches knowing that I can't live in that exact hour for the rest of my life. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to the team and they were just getting started. As soon as they dismissed the guests to the reception hall, they brought my husband and me refreshments, kept us on-time for photos, and even had plates of dinner already set out for us when we joined the party. With the second drink-refresh, I started to feel like royalty being attended to by a team of loyal secret-service agents, it was pretty surreal and I might have let it get to my head a little bit. Over the rest of the night they held the entire event down while still having fun and participating in our silly nonsense. The first dance was a first fire dance and we had to change into different outfits beforehand. One of Amanda's team members drove my tipsy ass up to the cabins and helped me change, kept me from getting distracted, and drove me back to the reception. I for sure wouldn't have been able to do all of that on my own. When it was time to say bye to the crew, I felt a genuine pang of sadness. Everyone was beyond lovely and I just wanted to hang out with them longer, even if they weren't bringing me drinks! Their service was, personal, warm, organized, professional, nonjudgmental, and incredibly effective. Throughout the weekend, I was able to focus on the important stuff while they handled all of the details AND made my people and me feel so special and cared for. My husband, our guests, and I were able to have the most hilarious, fun, carefree, and spiritually important time of our lives because of the team. They were the integral piece in bringing our vision to life and I cannot thank them (or my mom!) enough for making it happen. So the ultimate question is: Does Amanda Holder Events live up to the hype? The answer is the most resounding "yes" and I'd give them 100 out of 5 stars if possible. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding coordinator, especially if your event is quirky and nontraditional like mine. While I've never worked with a wedding coordinator prior to this, I can confidently say that we stumbled across the best people for the job, and our magical weekend would not have been possible without them.
