Papaya Wedding Planning

Amy was absolutely amazing. She listened to everything we wanted and brought some truly great ideas to the table. No matter what the problem, she was only an email away. Our wedding was perfect in every way, all the things we dreamed of and more that we hadn't even considered. And it wasn't just us, all of our guests raved about what a beautiful wedding it had been and how much fun they had. Best wedding investment ever!

First of all let me say this is the BEST money we spent on our wedding. We debated for several weeks whether or not we should spend money on Amy's service, but once we actually met with her we knew there was no way we could say no. Amy not only payed for herself (money saved from the cateror trying to scam us...and she caught it, recommending a photographer that worked on her price packaging to fit our budget... others I had contacted wouldn't even talk to me about a reduction, and money saved from flowers that she ordered and put together herself), she actually added value to every aspect of our day that we could never put a price tag on. From the numerous emails, phone calls, appointments, we both felt like she listened to our needs and responded with care. Amy had great suggestions and on our big day everything flowed together like magic. Everyone that attended could not stop raving about how wonderful it all looked - from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception. We look back on our pictures and can't believe our day turned out so perfect. We walked away with no regrets and memories that will last us a life time. I know we would not be feeling the same if Amy had not been our wedding planner. She will be the best investment you make!!

Amy was great to work with. She kept us on track throughout the planning process and suggested the perfect decor for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception. We didn't have to worry about a thing!!

Amy with Papaya Wedding planning was wonderful. She was a great resource, always wanting to make my daughters wedding the way my daughter dreamed it would be. She had so many wonderful ideas, she was always available when we needed her. There were so many things she just took care of. The wedding and reception turned out beautiful and I really got to enjoy it without being stressed out because i knew she was taking care of everything. I would highly recommend her.

One of my in laws had a wedding on October 2nd. When i arrived the day before to get my stuff together I was introduced to Amy. First impression, bold, confident, professional and extremely competent. I had the privilege of being under Amy's direction for the rehearsal preps and the ceremony. Although I had attended weddings with larger bridal party involvement as well as smaller weddings, I was overwhelmed with the amount of direction, details and planning that was and had taken place. This fine young lady had not only a thorough understanding of what the bride and groom wanted ( decor, atmosphere, vibe, setting ) but even moreso a detailed and synchronized game plan. From rehearsal day on through the ceremony and reception, there was not one detail that went unattented to with precision. Not only were the displays, table dressings, candle placement and invitations etcetera, well thought out and very well done, Amy's sense of completion and her patience were above board. Should I ever marry again, I know without hesitation who I will be calling. Top notch across the board. It was a joy and absolute pleasure to be a part of such a finely tuned process. She is a gem to work with on any level of involvement. You cannot be any more satisfied with Papaya at the helm. Divorce the rest, this is as good as it gets!

Amy(Papaya planning) was a blessing. I only knew Amy through work and she was starting her own wedding planning business. She offered to help with my wedding,which was on April 24, 2010. I only got to spend a few months with Amy on wedding planning. She jumped right into the role of "wedding planner!" She presented the idea of a wedding website for our guest(s) family and friends. The site she designed was perfect. I even used the song she had on the website for our "first dance." She gave me so many ideas and helped organize everything so well. The most important time for a planner to be on her feet is the rehearsal and the actual wedding day. I promise....I had 0% stress on the rehearsal day and the day of the wedding. She had everything so organized and ready on time. I felt like it was my day to shine with no worries! If you are looking for a creative, professional and well rounded person to be your wedding planner...PAPAYA PLANNING is the right fit! I cannot say "thank you," enough for everything Amy did for my wedding day. It was perfect!! Thank you for making our day special and one we will never forget! Molly Williams

I enjoyed planning the decor, colors, etc. by myself, but wanted to entrust a pro to take care of the big-day schedule. We booked Papaya Planning for day of coordination services, and are so glad we did! Amy did exactly that and beyond - not only is she personable, thoughtful, and reassuring, but she took care of so many details like safeguarding our card box and rental items, setting up our venue for both ceremony and reception, putting together a great timeline and touching base with our vendors during the hectic week of the wedding, and just helping us relax and enjoy the day. She even put together a to-go basket of dinner leftovers for us to take home! I highly recommend Amy and Papaya Planning!

Amy did a great job taking care of the wedding details so I could just arrive the day of my wedding and not worry about a thing. She designed the decor herself and it turned out so beautiful! I couldn't have been happier with the way everything looked. She kept everyone on task and made our day care free :)

During the planning process I began to realize that it would probably be wise for me to hire someone to help with day-of-coordination at my reception site to help set up and coordinate the afternoon to help eliminate stress on myself or my family. WOW was I right! I can honestly say that I do not think my reception would have turned out so beautiful or run as smoothly as it did if it weren't for Papaya Wedding Planning. I met with Amy for the first time the day before the wedding day (destination wedding) and communicated with her what I was envisioning for the set up, provided her with all of my favors and wedding supplies, and reviewed the timeline of events with her. Amy brought it home! It was perfect! When I arrived following the ceremony and walked into the Carraige House for the first time, it was perfect! Amy had added special little touches such as tea light candles around the guest tables and monogrammed wedding initials to windows above the wedding party tables which she had made. Amy kept us on schedule the whole afternoon and even managed to think of the smallest details throughout the reception to ensure we had eaten and had a glass to drink when we arrived to the venue from the church. My family had nothing but great things to say about Amy and her staff. Highly recommeded. Happy bride! :)
