About Wild Garden Weddings

Wild Garden Weddings

Owner, Wedding Planner

Amanda holds a degree in Event Management from the University of Central Florida. After 10 years of corporate planning with Disney, the University of Florida, and The City of Gainesville, a good friend reached out asking for help with her wedding. Amanda helped clear away her decision paralysis, and the sense of relief her friend felt at the end of their coffee date was everything she was missing in her career. Her experience with food and beverage, photography, florals, design, and logistics, with a deep connection to capturing special moments made her a perfect match for wedding planning!

Growing up in a big family where gatherings were an essential part of life made me value human connection in beautiful places, paired with great music, excellent food and drink above all else. Getting to watch your love story unfold, meeting and getting to know your families and support systems and bringing special moments to life is my life's work.

In three words: Flexible, Fun, Organized

Best Wedding Decision We Made!
BOOK Wild Garden Weddings NOW, you won't regret it! Amanda and Melissa went above and beyond for us from day one and we can't thank them enough for helping make our day so special. We used their Day of Coordination option and it was a godsend to my perfectionistic soul. I really wanted to find someone who could help me take care of the nitty gritty details so I could fully immerse and enjoy our wedding day. They help you think of and answer all the questions... even the ones you don't even know you have. Our family and friends adored them and were equally amazed by all the heart and soul they put into our wedding. The Wild Garden Weddings team is worth every penny! They make you feel like you are their one and only priority. They took our vision of an intimate backyard/in home wedding and made it more beautiful, personalized, and perfect than we ever imagined it could be. We can't thank and recommend them enough!!

The Ultimate Wedding Planning Experience!
From the moment we began working together, we knew we were in the best hands with Amanda! Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but Amanda made the entire experience feel seamless, exciting, and genuinely enjoyable. Her attention to detail, calm presence, organization, creativity, and passion for what she does truly set her apart! On our wedding day, everything flowed beautifully, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every single moment with our family and friends. Amanda and her assistant, Nina, not only brought our vision to life, but somehow made it even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Every detail felt personal and thoughtful, and so many of our guests commented on how incredible everything was. Beyond her talent, Amanda is simply an amazing person — warm, caring, professional, and someone who truly loves creating meaningful moments for couples. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side for one of the most important days of our lives. Thank you for helping create memories we will cherish forever! We cannot recommend her enough and wish her continued success and happiness as she keeps following her dreams and making wedding magic for so many others!
