About Amani Affairs

Jihan Amani Francois

Chief Experience Officer + Owner

I’m Jihan Amani Francois, Chief Experience Officer of Amani Affairs and the calm, creative force behind your wedding day. Based in Wilmington, NC (but always down to travel), I plan custom weddings that feel like you, with intention, ease, and zero chaos. With 10+ years of experience, I still light up every time a couple trusts me with their big day. From rehearsal dinner to final dance, I design weddings that are stylish, intentional, and effortlessly you.

We only take one wedding per weekend so you get our full focus, no juggling, no chaos. I’m your Lead Planner from start to finish, bringing calm energy, intentional design, and a streamlined process that fits real life. From your welcome party and rehearsal dinner to your wedding day itself, every detail is custom and elevated, rooted in your story, your style, and not someone else’s trend.

In three words: Calm, Creative, Supportive

    Amani Affairs was an invaluable partner in planning our wedding. Their professional and invested communication style ensured we were on top of all the details leading up to the big day. They coordinated seamlessly with our families to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their great taste and attention to the little things elevated our wedding in ways we couldn't have imagined. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication - they truly made our special day unforgettable.

    I always knew I wanted a wedding planner and when I got engaged 2 months after starting a new job and juggling moving in with my fiance, I knew I needed some professional help! From the moment that I spoke with Jihan on our initial phone call (which she set up to get vibes) I knew she was the one for me!!! I quote "you should hire me because I will reassure your mom that yes, there is enough food!". She is so professional, creative, prompt, and just a joy to work with. She made wedding planning (260 guests, planned in 8 months - wow!) the best time for me and my fiance!!! We have recommended her to everyone - she knows everyone in Wilmington and they all rave about her too! I am so grateful I got to work with her and that she was able to make my wedding the best night of my life.

    Wow—getting a review from both you and your husband? That’s amazing, and we’re so grateful! Planning your wedding at Sea Trail Golf Resort in Sunset Beach was such a joy. With 260 guests and only eight months to plan, you had a lot going on—but you handled it like pros! I’m so glad our partial planning and design services helped make the process easier (and kept your mom’s food worries in check!). It means the world that you trusted us and are sharing the love with others. Wishing you both a lifetime full of happiness and unforgettable moments—cheers to your forever!

From our first call, they demonstrated an organized, professional, and punctual communication style that put us at ease throughout the planning process. Their experienced and detailed approach ensured every aspect of our wedding day went smoothly, from finding an ice cream truck that fit our budget to creating a pleasing, personalized experience for all our guests. We could not have asked for a better team to bring our special day to life. Highly recommended!

    Amani Affairs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they were understanding, attentive and extremely detail-oriented. Their communication style was so nice and they were super easy to talk to. The quality of their work was amazing - they were incredibly efficient and made our special day feel so easy and smooth. We had no issues on our wedding day thanks to Amani Affairs, and I would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding planner. Amani Affairs truly felt like family and I'm so grateful for all they did to make our wedding day perfect. Jihan was truly so easy to work with and brought our vision to life! :)
