Working with Amber was hands down THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. 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!

Emily was deeply involved from very start (scoping out potential venues) to the very end (making sure we had pizza at the after party). Our wedding was a complicated three-day event that took place in Oregon, and Emily made the process fun and unforgettable. Emily helped us to creatively execute our vision, solve problems and find solutions when we needed alternatives, was patient with us when we changed our minds, went the extra mile to make things happen, coordinated the on-the-ground activities during the wedding weekend, and did this all with so much care. Among many things, Emily is an expert at making people feel heard, resolving tension, and advocating for the couple with sincerity. If you want to work with someone who plans a wedding with love and heart, you won't regret choosing Emily as your wedding planner!

Jubilee was the perfect fit, and I couldn't recommend them enough. I don't think of myself as a traditional wedding kind of person, and I wanted our day to feel very personalized and fun. From the get-go, Kristen was communicative and did an excellent job helping my now-husband and I flesh out our ideas. Julia took over for day-of coordination, and she was just as helpful and friendly. I especially appreciated how strong the communication with Jubilee was; the use of spreadsheets on google drive made it really easy for everyone to know exactly what was going on throughout the process. All of the vendor recommendations they made were excellent as well, and I definitely never felt pressured to go super outside our budget or spend money where it was unnecessary. The decor we used through Jubilee was beautiful and really helped tie everything in and fulfill our vision. On the day of the wedding, Julia was SO helpful and really made the day as seamless and stress-free as possible for me. Which is impressive, because I am 100% a perfectionist with control issues. Jubilee was the perfect pick for our wedding, and I'd highly recommend them for anyone looking to have a fun, personalized wedding that truly expresses you as a couple. I will 100% work with them again next time we have an event that needs planning!

I also received an e-newsletter where Kenmore Air can provide transport via seaplane for special events onsite. The Garden Atrium was arranged with a reception area and coat service. A table was set up with various curated memorabilia, A/V services to provide slide show and speaker capability. There was also an open bar, coffee/tea service including water and lemonade, and catering services were also provided. Delicious cuisine. Beautiful, serene views and seating also allowed for mingling and sharing anecdotes.

Megan Bird - HOLY BUCKETS! I am going to have so much more…read moreto post after our upcoming April wedding. But in the meantime there are things that have to be stated about this amazing women. From the beginning Megan has been one of the most reassuring and comforting things about wedding planning. If not the only thing at times. Megan paid for herself at our very first meeting with our location and catering vendor. She saw something in the signed contract that entailed us to a better food package. Not just better food selections but more of it. When the vendor said it was a typo and they would fix it she said 'nope this is the contract that you had them sign. Typo or not you need to stick to this, they are entitled to this food at this price.' At that point in wedding planning i was so beyond exhausted i absolutely would have just rolled over and let the vendor adjust the signed contract. She stuck to her guns and we got the benefit of it. Woo Hoo We have the Week of Package, which really means that she takes over several weeks out. Following up with our vendors and asking me questions about details I never would have considered. Megan as been available for all of the silly questions and concerns that we have had and is prompt in her email response. She is able to offer suggestions on everything, babysitters in the area, vendors, when to do things, how to include family wishes along side our own, how to get Dicks Cheese Burgers to your wedding reception and everything in between. Megan is so friendly and easy to work with, she is prompt and organized. You just want to be her friend. I can not imagine getting through this wedding process without her, and its not even over yet. Wedding Planning Advice Number One - Get yourself a planner Number Two - Get Megan Keller MORE GOOD THINGS TO COME So, the wedding has happened. It was all smooth and amazing. Megan made everything work. As I was standing in my dress with my flowers about to walk down the isle I turned to my mom and said 'how would we have done this without Megan?' She said 'We wouldn't!' She was so right! Megan did so many things that made all the difference that I didn't know about. She was the first one there and the last one out. She loaded gifts and flowers and all kinds of things into car at the end of the evening. I can't not imagine that this day would have worked without her and we are so glad that we had her along for the ride!

I started my quest to plan my own wedding in early 2010 and realized that, being an anxiety-prone control freak, I should probably seek some assistance.

Loved this woman right away! She was so friendly, listened to me carefully, took notes, and proceeded to explain how she could help me, what my options were, and the prices. I loved it! Get straight to the point, and let's do this thing! Needless to say, I hired Megan and she worked with me step-by-step to put together a wedding and reception that exceeded my husband's and my dreams.
