I’m Amanda—a wedding planner, educator, creative, and mama who believes that big dreams don’t need big budgets to be beautiful. You don’t have to be a planner to pull off a wedding that feels like you. You CAN be set up for success to be able to be present on your wedding day. You just need someone in your corner to walk you through the process.

When I’m not building timelines or wrangling spreadsheets, you’ll find me outside in my garden, chasing a toddler & a goldendoodle around the house, listening to an audio book or podcast, or rewatching This is Us.
I bring that same mix of heart, honesty, and organized chaos into everything I create as a wedding planner & educator. Welcome to my little corner of calm in the beautiful crazy that is planning a wedding.
I know what it’s like to get engaged and suddenly realize… there’s no handbook. Just a million Pinterest boards, TikToks and far too many opinions.
What I keep seeing is this: newly engaged couples, pre-planning excitement, beautiful visions — and then the stress sneaks (or sometimes catapults) in. The endless Googling, the questions that don’t get answered, the “did I miss something?” feeling. It doesn’t have to be that way.
When I started creating this course, I thought — what if I could give couples on a budget the insider’s know-how without needing to hire a full service planner? What if they could feel in control rather than overwhelmed?
This is your behind-the-scenes pass. The same tools and timelines I use with clients (yes — the ones I refined after dozens and dozens of weddings), wrapped up in a format you can use on your own time.
You’ll get the checklists, the spending-plans, the vendor-questions-to-ask. But more than that: you’ll get a real sense of what comes next, why it matters, and most importantly, a step-by-step guide to prep someone in your life to handle the day-of coordination of your event so you & your partner can be fully present in this celebration.
Because weddings aren’t just another event. They’re a beautiful, crazy, extraordinary gathering of all your favorite people in one place AND the beginning of the next chapter of your love story. You deserve to walk into this particular chapter with excitement, clarity, and without that “I-hope-we-got-everything” knot in your stomach.
