Description

I take care of almost everything, such as vendor research and communication, gathering quotes, setting up meetings, facilitating contracts, and managing every detail so that you are able to save time and energy and focus on making decisions. I help you manage your budget and consult on budget, but you are responsible for paying the venue and vendors. Includes unlimited meetings to ensure perfect execution.

Think of this package like a wedding planning coach! Designed as a more budget-friendly planning option that guides you through the planning process, keeps you on track, and provides my expertise throughout. Includes unlimited meetings to consult and advise. I provide a budget template and budgetary assistance, but you are responsible for all payments.

You've done almost all the planning yourself but need a professional to execute. You can't do it all yourself, so hire me to make sure it's all perfect! This package offers so much more than a typical day-of coordinator, which entails all-day coordination like setting décor and pushing the timeline along, but also includes work leading up to your wedding like timeline creation, a site plan, vendor communication, the wedding rehearsal, and more.

    I'm so glad we hired Andy. I had no idea how stressful and time consuming planning a wedding would be. I understand some people love it, but it's okay if you don't. Andy is so understanding and helpful, and empowered us to feel okay and not guilty about our decisions. All of her vendor recommendations were awesome. It really seems to make a difference when your wedding is run by really nice people who love weddings. Everyone really helped to make our wedding a dream come true, and I couldn't thank her enough for making that happen. My only regret is that I didn't hire Andy earlier. Highly recommend!

  • You will be glad you hired Andy!

    We hired Andy (Double A Wedding & Events) to be our day-of coordinator. I also hired her to help with a little bit of the planning and vendor correspondence as well. I cannot recommend Andy enough. She made our wedding day easy and seamless. The only thing we had to worry about on our wedding day was having fun and getting married. Andy handled everything else. I 100% recommend hiring her for your wedding day. You will be glad you have her on your side!

  • Andy is awesome !

    We had an unconventional schedule for our wedding - married in February in intimate ceremony and then reception in August with larger group of friends and family. Andy was our reception coordinator, and was great to work with. She listened to our various ideas, helped us get them into a timeline, then followed up on various details as the day approached. She’s energetic but easy going, and helped keep my anxiety in check as the party day got closer. I would highly recommend her!

  • The biggest regret AVOIDED!

    Andy is a true gem of a soul! Her attention to detail, and attunement to the needs of her clients is beyond amazing. She is incredibly organized and can help even the most clueless, frazzled, and ADHD-riddened couple pull together a beautiful and unique event. Our event had multiple challenges. 1. As mentioned, my husband and I are neurodivergent. This causes us to get overwhelmed easily and can quickly make a simple task incredibly difficult. This also makes it very hard for us to make decisions (I know, easily nightmare clients). Andy never made us feel ashamed for who we are or our disabilities. Instead, sh made things flow effortlessly. She planned things in a way for us to enjoy our day and have time to not get overstimulated/overwhelmed. Made sure we got to actually eat the delicious food we paid for. Hey, weddings are expensive- she made sure we could actually enjoy ours! 2. We have two young children that were a huge part of our ceremony. Andy was kind, patient, and understanding. I never felt rushed or pressured with a timeline. Children are unpredictable and we planned for just that. Andy had perfect suggestions to make things easier for our family to enjoy the day. Above and beyond! 3. Our ceremony was not traditional in any way. The requirements were different and followed a pagan style ritual that could have thrown any seasoned event specialist off their game. This was not the case whatsoever for Andy. She was able to flawlessly move throughout the event, effortlessly working with our vendors and handling issues that arose with grace and professionalism. 4. Our ceremony took place near Mt Si, which was a trek not just for Andy, but most guests! Andy had amazing advice. She was on time, prompt, and had great communication with the vendors during planning and execution. She heard what we wanted and simply, made it happen. We wanted a drum circle, so we made sure to have everything onsite and available and she got the party started! I would recommend Double A Weddings & Events ten times over. Best decision we made. Period. We would have regretted not hiring Andy, tremendously. She's fun and not afraid to speak up for her clients. You won't get anyone more dedicated or cool to hang out with on your wedding day! I can't imagine anyone else being able to make our day happen. Thank you Andy!
