Details Matter by Amber

  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Madison, MN

I have been a planner/coordinator and decorator for 13 years. I used to do weddings and parties as my side hussle but as of January, 2022, I have made this my full time business! I have several awesome ladies that work with me as well so you are in good hands!

“Working with Amber from Details Matter was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She had a gift for understanding my vision after just a few photos..I didn't have to spell everything out or stress about coming up with all the ideas myself. Her communication was quick and straightforward, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Amber delivered high-quality work that I could trust completely, and she was a joy to collaborate with during our shoot. I've already added her to my recommended vendor list and will be telling all of my brides about her because her dependable approach and attention to detail truly set her apart! If you want a planner who will take your ideas and execute them beautifully, Amber is your gal!”

“Simply Elegant Group was by far my favorite vendor! Every single person we talked to from Lindsay Mackey, their amazing manger and our first contact to the hotel-block assistant was a joy to work with, communicative and helpful. The workbook, spreadsheets, and connections with other coordinators and vendors made the whole wedding planning process more enjoyable and streamlined. We chose the Day of Coordination and are very grateful to have had Hanh as our wedding coordinator! Hanh is worth her weight in gold! With Day of Coordination we received not only ten hours of custom coordination from the wonderfully efficient and empathic Hanh, we also had the help of her assistant. This was perfect because someone was by my and my husband’s throughout the day. I loved that with SEG we had a whole team of magnifically organized, thorough and compassionate individuals to support us in executing our dream wedding. Once we had submitted our information Lindsay contacted us to go over all of the things included in wedding planning. She created a rough draft of our day of timeline and gave us access to our Wedding Workbook. They have templates for everything you will need for organizing your wedding and making sure you do not miss out on important, but often overlooked details. Two months before our wedding date we were connected with Hanh. From our first meeting throughout the whole time before the wedding and for the duration of our wedding itself Hanh was both our wedding angel and ninja rolled all into one. I had done a lot of the initial setting up vendors, but as soon as she could she took over as my contact person. This meant the vendors had to email/reach out to Hanh and left me feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. From this point on I started to enjoy wedding planning.I love that she reached out to not only myself, but included my now husband and daughter in on a meeting. If there were any hiccups leading up to the wedding I did not know until they were already handled. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly for my husband and I and our family.Again if there were any mishaps my husband and I were oblivious of them and we had the best wedding ever! Hanh was ready for anything, made sure we were treated like royalty and also took some amazing pictures! Thank you to Hanh and Simply Elegant Group for making our dream wedding come true! All of the things, Mr. and Mrs. Haynie”

“My husband and I didn't plan to use a Wedding Day Coordinator but as we entered the last month of planning we decided it was an addition we could make. We are so thankful we made the choice to hire a Day of Coordinator and even more thankful we found Xtraordinary Coordinations LLC to work with! Ariel and her team didn't miss a beat joining us in the final stages of planning and following the first meeting I was confident in the abilities of Xtraordinary Coordinations LLC. They paid attention to the details, promptly answered my questions, and met us with energy, positivity, and professionalism at all times. The day of our wedding Ariel and her team did an amazing job of setting up, making adjustments, and protecting us from the "noise" that naturally occurs on wedding day by making decisions on our behalf that aligned with our vision and our desired experience for our guests. I can't thank them enough and would hire Xtraordinary Coordinations LLC over and over again!”

“Working with The Events Paige LLC was such a relief from start to finish. Paige has this calm way of keeping everything organized and on track, which made us feel secure the whole time. She really understood what we wanted for our day and made sure every detail matched our vision. I recommend telling her exactly what you want done if you are picky about things, otherwise it seems she has a good intuition on style/decor based on what you tell her. She also has a rental inventory that is free for your use when you book certain packages, which was a great perk and can help save money on décor and other wedding details. During the reception, Paige was so attentive—she noticed when we needed water or drinks and brought them without us even asking. What stood out most was how she protected our peace on the night of the wedding, letting us just enjoy the moment instead of worrying about logistics. We would absolutely recommend The Events Paige.”

Hello there! I'm Sarah, the designer and planner behind Nerdily Ever After. I believe that the best weddings aren't the ones that copy Pinterest....although I still love you PinPin! (: I believe that the best weddings are the ones that couldn't belong to anyone else, except for the two of you. I love helping couples transform the things that make them who they are into weddings that feel elevated, elegant, and beautifully designed. Whether that's a subtle nod to a favorite fantasy world, a shared hobby, or simply creating an atmosphere that feels completely you, every detail is chosen with purpose.

“Working with Sarah as our planner was one of the best wedding decisions we made. What really stood out was how she brought our vision to life without blowing up our budget...and while we weren't working with an extremely lavish amount Sarah was still able to create something beautiful that blew us all away. I am so happy we went with her because in some of our first meetings with other planners, we got the vibe that they would push us further from what we wanted to spend and sometimes (in my experience at least) certain vendors will look down at you for not having the means to spend tens of thousands in florals. Sarah never made us feel bad once and it was such a joy to work with someone who genuinely wanted to give us our dreamscape wedding! Sarah was honest and transparent about costs, but she was also resourceful in finding alternatives that looked just as luxurious without having to break the bank, or more importantly, did not make us feel ashamed for not having the million dollar budget for it. Kudos to Sarah for working with us and making our special day the BEST day.”

The Chloe Group Weddings & Events provides elevated wedding planning and coordination throughout Minneapolis-St. Paul and beyond.

With thoughtful organization, clear communication and meticulous attention to detail, we handle the moving pieces so you can stay present, enjoy the experience and celebrate what matters most.

“I truly don’t know how I would have planned my wedding without her. From the very beginning, she has been involved in absolutely everything. She has helped plan every detail, kept everything organized, helped me make decisions when I felt overwhelmed, thought of things I never would have considered, and somehow managed to take all of my ideas and turn them into exactly what I envisioned. Wedding planning comes with SO many decisions, and having someone who knows what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and what I’m probably forgetting has been invaluable. She is incredibly organized, responsive, creative, and detail-oriented, but she also makes the entire process feel fun instead of stressful. What stands out the most is how much she genuinely cares. She doesn’t just help you plan a wedding—she gets invested in making sure your wedding feels like you. I’ve never felt like I was being pushed toward someone else’s vision. She listens, gives great advice, helps problem-solve, and is always there when I need her. She has truly been my go-to person for everything wedding related, and I cannot imagine going through this process without her. If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, do it—and hire her. Having her in your corner will be one of the best decisions you make throughout the entire wedding planning process.”

Contact me today to start the journey towards making your next event one to remember!

“Having Reagan as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding! I was a bit lost in the beginning of as to what the coordinators role was vs mine, especially since I struggle to delegate normally! Reagan was so helpful and clear into what our next steps should be, and what she would take care of etc. What I was absolutely amazed by was how she did it with such ease. She completely took the stress away which was the most incredible feeling, especially the week of our wedding! Our biggest concern for our wedding week was transportation, especially since about 80% of our guests were flying internationally, and also due to location of wedding not having any Uber's... We had hired on a transportation service who Reagan then managed. Myself and my husband didn't have to worry about it at all, for the whole week! It was amazing and it ran so smoothly thanks to Reagan! On the actual wedding day, Reagan made sure that we were able to just enjoy ourselves, and she did everything behind the scenes (managing the timeline, setting up the reception just to my vision, communicating with other vendors etc.) The whole day, where I had expected to feel stressed and worried about everything, I instead felt SO relaxed. It was the strangest, yet most incredible feeling to just be able to enjoy the day which you've spent a year planning. We will forever be grateful for Reagan's help, and looking back at our wedding day makes us smile so much. It truly was perfect. Thank you Reagan, and I wish we could do it again so we could work with you again ha! xx”
