Open Sky Weddings

My biggest challenge in writing this review will be to keep it from getting novel-length. Because honestly, I could write a book about how wonderful of a wedding planner Amanda is.

We first hired Amanda right after we got engaged in early 2020, based on two separate recommendations from a colleague and my hairdresser. Not long after that, the pandemic hit. To say that it was a challenging and uncertain time to be planning a wedding would be an understatement, but through it all, Amanda was our rock. She provided consistent and responsive support, guidance, and advice, keeping us sane with her optimism and organization. More than anyone else, she made this incredibly complicated and stressful period simple, and even fun.

Amanda spent time getting to know us, and knew that we wanted an easygoing and authentic day. From planning out our budget and visiting venues, to choosing an officiant, florist, hair and makeup artists, our amazing photographer, and a killer DJ, Amanda was the one-stop-shop for our wedding decision-making. She would curate a short list of vendors within our budget that she had experience with and would recommend, and each one was fantastic. We trusted her taste, and she never steered us wrong!

On the big day, it felt like Amanda was everywhere at once! She carried my bouquet and kept my veil clean during our photoshoot, taped up my dress to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions, supplied bridesmaids with blister bandaids, and handled my friends and family perfectly, all while making sure everything ran on time.

Its no exaggeration to say that the choice to hire Amanda was the best decision we made for our wedding. Despite the pandemic times, our wedding day was beautiful, personal, and, above all, fun! I wouldn’t change a thing. My husband and I both credit Amanda for translating our wedding hopes into reality, and would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a wedding.

We worked with Amanda to plan our commitment ceremony, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Amanda helped us navigate postponing and re-planning our ceremony multiple times during the pandemic. She picked up on our personalities and the vibe we wanted for our celebration, and worked with us to make our vision a reality. We were very hands-on with planning, especially as I have some event-planning experience and am very detail-oriented, but on the actual day of our ceremony we had no stress at all - we had full confidence in Amanda to execute our plans and were able to fully be in the moment throughout the whole day. We will definitely be recommending Open Sky Weddings to everyone we know with upcoming events!

We had a lovely experience working with Amanda from Open Sky as our wedding coordinator. She was a dream to work with, and I'm so happy we found her. Her positive energy is such a wonderful thing to have around when stresses are high! Amanda was so professional and always a phone call away when we needed advice, I can't say enough good things about her and her work. She really makes you feel like a friend instead of a client. Thank you Amanda for everything you did for us!

I would recommend Amanda without hesitation. She was incredibly flexible and helpful throughout the planning process. For those needing suggestions on vendors, she has plenty to share and was the one to recommend the officiant we used. I highly recommend using her day-of coordination services because on the day of the wedding, I was able to be present and enjoy every minute knowing that Amanda had everything under control. The ceremony and reception were seamless. She took my vision for the decor and setup and brought it to life. Thank you so much Amanda and team for making our dream day a reality!

From our first meeting with Amanda we felt in such good hands in planning our wedding. Amanda is incredibly thoughtful, organized, and reassuring. She was a calming presence throughout the planning stages and then again on the day of! Amanda is very knowledgeable about vendor recommendations and was a great resource for us at every stage of planning. Amanda thank you so much for everything we had such a great time working with you!!
