Whether you are planning a sweet Southern wedding celebration in Chapel Hill, a modern industrial mitzvah in Durham, or a laid back wedding in Hillsborough, let me take care of all the little details so you can focus on enjoying the big day!

It was a fantastic whirlwind weekend, coordinated by Amanda for our son and daughter-in-law’s out of town wedding! All events were meticulously coordinated with the bride and groom and their families, multiple vendors (several caterers, florist, band, lighting, etc.), and included a welcome dinner, wedding ceremony and reception, and next day brunch. Amanda’s attention to detail and calming manner ensured that all were well prepared, all went perfectly, and where loving memories were made! Highly recommended! Thank you Amanda!

Amanda is spot on when it comes to organizing and ensuring that your wedding will unfold without any hitches or unforeseen problems. She stuck with us through the pandemic delays and always had a positive and upbeat attitude through all of the challenges we encountered. I've had another daughter's wedding in which I did not have a wedding planner so I know just how valuable her services were. I highly recommend Amanda - she will help you keep your sanity and enable you to have exactly the kind of wedding that you want. I was able to fully relax and enjoy the ceremony and reception because I knew Amanda had everything under control. On top of that, she is so kind and very calm. That is priceless!

Amanda was an incredible day-of coordinator! She was helpful throughout the entire planning process and was always available for consultation and advice. She was experienced and professional and knew exactly how to handle all of our vendors, timelines, and details throughout the day. Highly recommend!

Amanda helped us plan the most amazing wedding for my daughter this spring. Due to Covid 19 the wedding had to be rescheduled a year later and a venue change was needed rather last minute due to the our original venue not reopening in time. When hiring her I could have never imagined all we would encounter this past year. Amanda took all this in stride and helped us make the necessary decisions and changes much more palatable. I can't imagine having to handle all those changes without her. She has a great personality and is very professional....which was so needed at that time.Amanda took our ideas of the perfect wedding (or any celebration) and make them a reality. She is well known and respected by other vendors in the industry making it easy to coordinate and to work as a team. She will get things done with perfection and keep everyone on schedule.Planning a wedding is a busy time so knowing that Amanda was at our side I could relax and enjoy the planning process. Her experience helped us see things we were unaware of and would have never thought about on our own. And, on the BIG day I didn't think about anything but enjoying our family and friends. I highly recommend her for any celebration you are planning.

Amanda did an amazing job as our wedding coordinator. We enjoyed working with Amanda from the moment we met her. She is very upfront with what she does and communicates everything in a very clear and effective way. Amanda made sure everything was lined up with all of our vendors and made sure that all of our ducks were in a row. Amanda made a clear and simple timeline for the wedding party and family to follow the day of our wedding. The rehearsal went smooth and the whole wedding weekend was a great success. We highly recommended Amanda from A Swanky Affair as your wedding coordinator.

STOP! Seriously, you don't need to look any further than Amanda Scott. If you're looking for someone who is organized, has an eye for small details without losing sight of the big picture, and will make your wedding party/family feel prepared and excited (I had a very nervous Dad over here!) but keeping everyone on schedule...this is your wake up call!I chose to work with Amanda as my day of coordinator (which, you're in luck because this really means month of coordinator) because I was really enjoying the planning process but knew day-of, I wouldn't want to be telling vendors where to set up and getting frantic phone calls because one of the groomsmen forgot his coat - she also offers full service planning. Starting 5 weeks out from our wedding, Amanda began integrating into the process. I sent her all of my vendor contracts and other important documents, which she was able to review and contact all vendors to get the ball rolling. Her response time is insane...not once did it take her more than a day to respond to me...many times within a couple hours or even minutes. Talk about putting my mind at ease. Instead of fielding questions about linens and guest count from 10+ vendors, everyone went through her and that streamlined everything so well and really eliminated any stress I was told by countless people to be prepared for. We created a detailed timeline for the day, which she swiftly... shared with vendors and the wedding party/immediate family (during the rehearsal she ran...again To. A. Tee.) The day of couldn't have been smoother and all I had to focus on was getting ready with my girlfriends, getting MARRIED to my husband, and dancing the night away.So not only is she good at her job logistically, but she has the perfect personality for the job. She is so kind and warm, putting everyone at ease, but also had something about her where you could tell she means business! The perfect combination to keep everything on track but still so enjoyable from start to finish. I couldn't recommend her more highly.read more
