Amber is the best decision you will ever make
Amber is the best choice you can make for your day. We hired her as a day of coordinator. What we got was so much more. There was so many elements we had no idea about that amber held our hand through and just handled. We thought the florals were the decor. How wrong we were thank goodness we had Amber and her collection of candles to complete our room and make it perfect. In addition she went half with us on the chuppah and built it and kept it for her future brides to rent. Literally, any way amber could make our lives easier or better she did. She took on all the communications with our vendors at the 6 month mark. If something went wrong on our wedding day my husband and I couldn’t tell you. Amber made the day flow so seamlessly. She went so far above to the point where she literally took care of over 50 butterflies that my mom sent to her the week before our wedding for a release. She told me she was ensuring they stayed alive and got them there in their envelops the day of. While also keeping it a secret from everyone. I also told her multiple times when it comes time for my future children’s bar/bat mitzvahs and any other large parties she will have to branch out from weddings because I will trust no one else with those big days but her. Amber is a calming presence and becomes a friend by the time your big day comes along. I could go on forever. I could not recommend her enough. She makes all your crazy wants and desires happen.

Amber is the best!!
Choosing Amber as our wedding coordinator was, truly, the single best decision we made for our entire wedding. As soon as we started planning, she immediately lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. She wasn't just a coordinator; she was the architect of our entire vision, turning the daunting process into something manageable and even joyful. Amber is incredibly organized and amazing, mastering every single element from our detailed vendor contracts to the sprawling master timeline. She handled dozens of moving pieces with professional precision, confirming deliveries, coordinating setup, and ensuring every service provider was exactly where they needed to be. Her proactive approach caught potential issues before they even registered on our radar, which is a testament to her experience and forethought. Beyond the flawless logistics, her communication was absolutely perfect. Amber was consistently responsive, clear, and always available to answer our questions. She kept us informed without overwhelming us, giving us the peace of mind that we were in the safest hands possible. We genuinely couldn't have planned our day without her expert guidance and unwavering support. When the wedding day arrived, Amber transformed into a calm, steady force behind the scenes. We were able to fully relax and enjoy every magical moment because we knew she was ensuring that everything was perfect, down to the last candle and seating card. She orchestrated the ceremony, the cocktail hour transition, and the reception flow seamlessly. If you are looking for a completely stress-free, professionally managed, and perfectly executed wedding day, you need to hire Amber. She exceeded every expectation and is simply the best coordinator in the business!

Don’t hesitate - just hire Amber!
If you want a someone who is going to be 200% on your side and advocate for you, Amber and her team are the ones! She was our day-of coordinator but went above and beyond to ensure that our vision came to life exactly as we had imagined with many meetings and checkpoints during the months preceding our big day. From our first phone call, her professionalism and warmth shone through and as a diy bride, I felt so reassured and heard with all my worries and concerns! On wedding day, she truly grounded us and did everything to maintain the flow of the day, all we had to do was enjoy it! We can’t recommend her enough!

Wonderful!
Amber is organized, communicative, and creative. She helped my wedding go off without a hitch. Small fires or questions that popped up during the wedding she handled with ease. She made the planning process easy and less overwhelming. I’ve recommended her to other friends. You can’t go wrong with peony event planning!
