Peace of Mind

Th biggest thing my husband and I were looking for in our wedding planner was peace of mind. Neither of us knew anything about planning a wedding nor did we have the time/patience to chase down vendors. After interviewing a few planners, we settled on Amanda a she was so organized and had the best energy!
Throughout the planning process, Amanda was there for us every step of the way to answer question, check in, calm fears, give gold stars ;), just anything we needed.
When the day of came, she was on top of everything and we didn't have to worry about a single thing! it was exactly what we wanted and she helped us realize our dream wedding.

Thank you Amanda, Heather, and Danielle!!

Amanda and her team were very helpful and made sure our day ran smoothly! The decor was set up exactly how we invisioned, and it could not have been more beautiful! They were also available to answer any questions or accomodate any request we had, both before the wedding and on our wedding day. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that they were there on our big day to handle anything that may have come up!

Heather and Rex’s Wedding

Amanda did an amazing job on our wedding! We had a limited budget and it didn’t scare her away, she was kind, helpful, full of ideas, and helped make our wedding the best it could be. I would highly recommend, because she is the best.

Our experience with Amanda

We had originally hired Amanda 2 years before our wedding, I was so excited to have Amanda because I had followed her for years on Instagram and for many years I dreamt of having her as our planner… Things definitely seemed better on social medial than in real life. At first when we hired her things were great but as time went on they got worse and worse. Every time we turned around she just wanted more and more money. As we went on with planning our wedding, we told Amanda we didn’t want anything extra and she tricked us into having a flower meeting and charged us an extra percentage on what she was already charging us, we were super upset after we told her we didn’t want anything extra because her bill was getting out of hand. After that we ultimately decided to let her go as our wedding planner and we hired somebody else and thank god we did. Our new planner ultimately saved the day and our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of. Unfortunately I don’t have very many good things to say about Amanda and won’t be recommending her to anybody ever.

Very happy

Amanda & her team are amazing. With very short notice, they were able to help get things organized for us and get things on track. On the day of the event, they went over and beyond. They knew exactly what I wanted, they augmented the decor and made sure everything went smoothly, we had so much fun! We are so happy and grateful.

Amanda is amazing!!!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Amanda Douglas Events! Amanda was spectacular as our Day-Of Wedding Coordinator, and we feel so fortunate to have had her by our side on the big day.

Amanda is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and organized, and her attention to detail is absolutely incredible!! Amanda was so helpful during our pre-wedding meetings, and was quick to answer any questions and provide valuable guidance as we planned our Winnipeg wedding from Calgary. When it came to the rehearsal and wedding day coordination, Amanda went above and beyond to ensure things ran smoothly. She also did such a fantastic job setting up our personal decor and coordinating all of our vendors. We have had family and friends repeatedly tell us how blown away they were by Amanda's professionalism and helpfulness throughout every aspect of our rehearsal and wedding day.

We cannot begin to imagine what we would have done without Amanda, and we will forever be singing her praises!

We decided to hire Amanda Douglas to plan our wedding because neither of us had a clue about how to plan a wedding, we are terrible at planning, and we weren’t living in Winnipeg. Between her incredible organizational skills, serious knowledge of everything wedding related, helpful planning tools and lovely personality, it was the best decision we could have made!

Amanda made the entire process fun and took away so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. Our meetings were always a great balance of planning and fun (lots of laughs and bonding over our mutual love of dogs!). She is super easy to get along with, and it felt like she always had our back as she liaised with all the vendors and took care of all the little details that we would never have thought of. She kept us on track by sending us friendly reminders and to-do lists to get tasks done (much appreciated because we are such procrastinators!). She was available to answer all of our questions along the way (no matter how silly!), listened to all of our ideas and then helped bring them to life.

On the day of our wedding, having Amanda and Danielle there was completely invaluable - coordinating with all of the vendors, keeping everything on schedule, setting up the venue – they kept everything running smoothly. We were able to just enjoy our day and not worry about a thing. We are so appreciative of all her hard work and honestly can’t imagine what we would have done without her! We absolutely loved working with Amanda!

We worked with Amanda for day of coordination for our wedding at the end of August only a couple weeks ago. Amanda herself was already scheduled for another couple's wedding the same day as ours, so on the actual day we had one of her other coordinators and an assistant, Heather and Danielle.

The meetings we had with Amanda through the process were a blast! We knew what we wanted out of the day, and her advice & skills kept us on track. And how can you not have fun when there's a visit from Ollie (Amanda's dog) during your meeting?

The rehearsal and wedding both went off without a hitch. Heather and Danielle were there to get us in gear when we needed it, and handle any issues. Heather also had a chance to bust out her emergency boutonniere skills when my dad's didn't make it to the ceremony.

Bottom line - if you're thinking of working with Amanda and her team, go for it! One of my bridesmaids commented post ceremony that I was incredibly relaxed while we were getting ready the morning of. I think working with Amanda Douglas Events was a big part of that since I could step out of planning finally and enjoy getting married.

Hi! I'm Amanda!

I love event planning, what can I say?

My fav style of wedding would be anything in nature (bonus points if there are dogs there).

If you didn't notice already we specialize in outdoor, backyard, tent, gallery, warehouse weddings; any sort of "build your own" style locations.

We love the dynamic of creating something uniquely yours.

On a personal side: I also LOVE starting a new show, cuddling on the couch with my current hobby (my dogs at my side), travelling with my hubs, chocolate, cupcakes, gardening and growing my own food.

Nice to meet you - we look forward to chatting!
