About Curora Weddings and Events

Curora Weddings and Events

Founder and Lead Planner

I’ve spent nearly 20 years in catering and events, and I’ve seen firsthand how much smoother and more enjoyable weddings feel when couples have the right support. That’s why I started Curora Weddings, to give couples an experienced partner who takes the stress off their plate and makes sure their day feels easy, personal, and unforgettable. I love the logistics, the details, and the energy of wedding days, and I care deeply about creating a thoughtful experience for you and your guests.

I bring a background in venue and catering management, which means I know how weddings actually work behind the scenes. I anticipate needs before they happen, keep vendors aligned, and protect your time so you can truly be present. My style is calm, organized, and supportive, never overbearing. I’m not about cookie-cutter timelines or trends. I’m about listening to you, honoring your priorities, and making sure your wedding feels like your wedding.

In three words: Organized, Supportive, Thoughtful

    Best Wedding Coordinator - Hire immediately

    Amanda is nothing short of amazing. I am not sure I have enough words to describe how truly incredible she is. My (now) husband and I booked Amanda as our wedding coordinator for our October 4th wedding at Saratoga National Golf Club. To preface I am a very type-A person but I knew my wedding day was not the day to try to do it all myself! Amanda is the full package. She helped us with all of our vendor communications, Wedding-day timeline, rehearsal walk throughs, day-of reminders, communication with the bridal party, parents, she even made me the most perfect day-of wedding playlist while I was getting ready! (Something so small but SO helpful!!!) The list goes on… she thinks of all the little things throughout the day that you won’t think of has a solution for any concern or problem. Her attention to detail Is unmatched, she had an extremely organized and aesthetically pleasing website personalized for my husband and I that had everything we needed from our vendor contracts to our timeline and important contacts. She is also a master of her trade!! She is PREPARED for anything and everything. Her knowledge of the wedding industry, recommendations and understanding is simply incredible. A wedding coordinator was a hard sell for my husband but just a week out from our wedding he looked at me and said “Wow, I’m so glad we have Amanda.” She is the kindest, most professional and understanding of every situation. She makes you feel comfortable and EXCITED about your big day. When you work with Amanda, it is guaranteed that your day will go smoothly. I wanted to enjoy myself and not have to think about ANYTHING other than marrying the love of my life. When you work with Amanda that’s the peace of mind you get. From communicating with the transportation company to steaming my veil and touching me up throughout my reception and reminding us to eat (!!!) there is no stone left unturned. I cannot recommend Amanda enough, if you are working with her you are in the best hands.

    Venue Owner

    I have had the privilege of working with Amanda for nearly a decade, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most remarkable wedding planners I’ve ever known. After 30 years in the hospitality and event industry, I’ve worked with countless planners — but when Amanda is part of the team, I know the day will flow seamlessly, every detail will be cared for, and couples can truly relax and enjoy their moment. What sets Amanda apart is her unique blend of polished professionalism and genuine warmth. Her extensive hospitality background, especially her corporate experience, gives her an edge when it comes to organization, logistics, and keeping events on track. But beyond her skills, Amanda has a heart of gold. She radiates kindness, has a contagious smile, and an energy that immediately puts couples, families, and vendors at ease. She anticipates needs before anyone else has even thought of them, quietly solves problems before they arise, and somehow manages to make even the busiest, most emotional wedding days feel calm and joyful. I’ve watched Amanda bring countless weddings to life with grace, care, and thoughtfulness that is truly unmatched. She is everything couples dream of in a planner: detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and always ten steps ahead. On top of that, she’s simply a beautiful person inside and out. If you are lucky enough to have Amanda by your side on your wedding day, you will not only have the gift of flawless coordination — you’ll also have the gift of her presence, and that is priceless.


I offer full-service planning, partial planning, wedding management (coordination), destination wedding planning, elopements, micro weddings, and full event design. I also provide à la carte options if you just need help in specific areas.
Yes. Most of my weddings are in Upstate NY, the Hudson Valley, and the Berkshires, but I also plan destination weddings. Travel fees may apply depending on location.
Most couples reach out 12–18 months before their wedding. Dates fill quickly, so the earlier the better. For smaller weddings and elopements, shorter timelines can work too.
I’ve built strong relationships with many venues in the region, but I work anywhere you feel connected. If you’re still searching, I’ll help you find the best fit.
