Amy June Weddings and Events

I am forever grateful that Amy was able to take our wedding last minute. She immediately jumped right in and went over the contracts and vendors I had. We talked about what our theme, what we wanted and what was important. She helped me turn in the right direction and made sure I was on top of everything. I really loved the fact that she was just on point with everything and helped me stay organized as well as keeping notes for herself.
Amy definitely knows her stuff. I was completely overwhelmed. At the time I was working a 10 – 12 hour day, attempting to work out, and planning a wedding. She literally saved not only my sanity but our wedding. She helped me lock down important details and «promises» vendors gave me. She also help me see an oversight I did with when I originally hired a photographer and turned me to the RIGHT (and best) person for the job. I let go of the photographer I previously had, and it was one of the best decisions I made. The day of the wedding, what do you know, myself and a few other ladies were late for arriving but she helped me keep everything under control. The whole event went so smoothly. She even kept my other vendors in line because they forgot certain décor items. Needless to say, she is worth every single penny and more. She does not disappoint and I promise you, you will have the most spectacular wedding. Trust me, hire Amy!

Amy was a Godsend. My husband I are eternally grateful for all of her help planning and coordinating our wedding! Although a San Diego native, I was planning my wedding from NYC where I live. I hired Amy after having a chat with her over the phone about six months prior to my wedding for planning during the time leading up to my wedding and day-​of coordination. Her upbeat attitude and proactive approach was exactly what I was looking for in a planner. After discussing our budget, priorities and overall look and theme we envisioned, Amy proposed vendors that were right on target. She even coordinated and joined all of our meetings with vendors to make sure that we were happy with each of them and asked the right questions! Our wedding day was a whirlwind of love and joy, and Amy helped it all come together for us so that it reflected exactly what we envisioned. She made sure all of the logistics, vendors and design details were attended to so that we could focus on enjoying each and every moment of our wedding. Do yourself a favor and ask Amy to make your wedding day as perfect as can be. She’ll deliver!

Amazing! My husband and I (and our families) are beyond grateful for Amy and her team. Before the wedding she was tremendously helpful keeping everything organized, answering our questions, connecting with our vendors, and handling the logistics. Amy exceeded our expectations leading up to the wedding, but went above and beyond the day of. When we walked into the venue I was blown away. Amy and her team handled all of the setup and it was perfect. In addition, she was the glue that day making sure everything happened on time, everyone was comfortable, all vendors were on the same page, etc. I was so relaxed knowing she was on top of everything. We were so impressed and would highly recommend her!

Unfortunately we paid Amy for services and she was a no show. Amy June or known to us as affairs by Amy. Never showed up for our wedding day, yes I said that correctly! She no showed, she ruined our wedding and caused enormous distress for our families and our marriage. She apparently double booked and attended her other event that day. She refused to at the very least, refund us money. She was horrific. A nightmare for any bride and groom! I wish someone had warned me! Please go somewhere else. She has changed her whole business name in hopes of revamping her image. I would be very cautious as its your wedding day, a no show even with a refund isn’t worth the stress. But no show and no refund, I wouldn’t trust Amy June or any affairs she is associated with, run for the hills!

Amy was able to make our wedding day as stress free as could be. With just a few short meetings, she seemed to know exactly what I wanted and how she could help me throughout the entire planning process. Amy was our day of coordinator and assisted me with any questions I had leading up to the wedding. She did everything from setting up the reception room to checking in with all of the vendors, keeping us on a timeline, ensuring that the guests were all having a great time, bustling my dress, and keeping everything moving throughout the night. She was really helpful during the rehearsal which made the day of the wedding less stressful. She provided us with drinks throughout the night so we didn’t have to continue to go to the bar since we did not have time during our photo shoot. At the end of the wedding, she was able to assist with getting all of the gifts into my parents’ cars and gather all the décor. She was awesome! She made the day seem completely stress free.
Thank you so much Amy!

Having Amy help us on our wedding day was the best decision we could have made. She is kind, punctual, resourceful, dedicated, straight to the point and best of all she is fun :) Amy always answered all my questions and when I would email her she would reply right away. She had various pieces of décor that we were able to use and this saved us so much time because we did not have to go out of our way looking for these vintage finds. She gave me so many tips on things I need for our big day.
On the day of the wedding I felt so at easy because I knew she was taking care of everything. She had worked at the venue before so she knew the people and how to get things done there. She went early to the venue made sure everything was set up correctly. I didnt even tell her where I wanted all the décor to be placed and she decided on her own. She made sure I felt like nothing was going to go wrong and this made me feel so happy and relaxed. Once I got to the venue everything was amazing and wonderful! The décor pictures are probably my favorites because I just love how everything looked. Throughout the day and night she made sure everything got done on time. She is an amazing individual and I honestly dont think I would have enjoyed my day as much as I did if it wasnt for her. I recommend her to anyone and everyone, she will make your day a truly special one.

Amy is Phenominal. She made sure my husband and I were well taken care of on our big day and that our best interest was always top priority. She kept our bridal party in order and she even got the hotel in shape when things got a little messy. I would 100% recommend Amy. I can’t imagine how I would have gotten through my wedding day without her.

I worked with Amy on a few weddings at the Thursday Club. She was the coordinator and I was the videographer. Amy was a pleasure to work with! She was extremely polite and kept the bride, groom and vendors well informed. This made my job much easier! I would highly recommend Amy June Weddings and Events! jfvideography

We used Amy June as our day of wedding coordinator for our wedding at the Brea Community Center and had a great experience with her from start to finish! From the time we hired her everything was easy. The contract was very clear and helpful in defining what her responsibilities are. Whenever I emailed her with questions I got a response back the same day and her answers were always on point — you can tell she has a lot of experience and really knows what she is talking about. On the day of she made sure everything was set up perfectly and everything went smoothly and according to plan. Since we had a mostly DIY venue we had a TON of vendors and she kept track of all of them! While we were having fun with our guests she made sure everything was packed up including our gifts so our friends and family didn’t have really anything to clean up! Hiring a day of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made in terms of reducing stress on the actual day. I never felt like I had to worry about anything. Easy decision — hire Amy!!!

I have worked with Amy at several event’s and each time I see her at work she is so calm and at ease. She is very helpful and attentive. She has a great eye for detail and if she can’t do it, she know’s someone who can! She is a fantastic professional and will take the pressure off your day by making sure every detail is in place!

As much as I would love to be able to recommend all of the vendors from our beautiful wedding, this is one person I definitely would not. Your whole wedding experience is supposed to be as stress free as possible. I know I know. that is not the case at all BUT. when you hire a partial coordinator things should be a little bit easier, right? Not the case here. Just looking back at the whole experience, we probably should have just cut our losses and lost our deposit and went with someone else.
I wrote my feedback and copied and pasted it here but it is over the 5000 word minimum so if you would like it, shoot me a message and I will send it your way so you can get a complete breakdown of the issues that my husband and I had. We aren’t making these up nor are we over exaggerating. I listed them below if you want a quick view.
1. Worried too much about the other weddings she had, wedding events she was planning, and/​or her post-​wedding plans than the actual job she was hired to do
2. Lack of responsiveness on multiple occasions even after it was addressed
3. Has excuses for every thing — phone doesn’t sort email well, not at computer, was busy somewhere else, usually only goes to vendor meetings that she recommends, said she sent things when she really never did
4. Bad overall attitude — came to the wedding with a bad attitude and it radiated to everyone included my close friends and family who were guests
5. This bad attitude was underscored by her Facebook posting after the fact letting people know NOT to plan your wedding downtown during Padres/​Dodgers game — Which happened to be the exact weekend that we had our wedding, makes complete sense.
I hope we are able to help you in your wedding coordinator/​partial coordinator search.
**I post good and bad reviews, not just bad reviews. I think that it is important to get good and bad honest reviews out there so people can experience the amazing vendors that are out there and to protect them from the not-​so-​good ones as well.

Amy was amazing! We hired her as a day of coordinator, which I highly recommend. She was very helpful and responsive in the time leading up to the wedding, helped with timeline creation, recommended vendors, and generally helped ease my nerves about everything falling into place.
The weekend of our wedding, she was terrific — helped run the rehearsal very efficiently. On the day of she was just amazing! I had dropped off a bunch of stuff at the forum for her to set up and it all looked perfect! Fairly early in our reception, it turned out that we were almost out of vodka, my calculations had failed me! But Amy told me not to worry, she happen to have a handle of vodka in the car :). She also said that she could bring back all the vases to our florist so we didn’t have to the next day. She definitely went above and beyond and I was able to not worry at all about the details and just enjoy our wonderful day!

I cannot recommend Amy highly enough. She was absolutely fantastic!
My husband and I hired her as a partial planner. I wasn’t sure what that meant exactly, but her recommendation and availability went way above my expectations. From venue selection to catering to DJ to photography, she was spot on every time. She took our inputs and really helped us craft an incredible evening. Her fee was, hands-​down, the best money we spent for the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond. She made the event go so seamlessly that it seemed too easy. She took care of all the little details so we didn’t have to. It was an incredibly stress-​free experience, despite hearing horror stories of the opposite, and I don’t think we could have done it without her.
HIRE HER NOW!

Our wedding was nothing short of crazy. But it was a good kind of crazy because of Amy.
Let’s backtrack. Sometime back around mid-​2012, the FH and I were in the beginning stages of planning our wedding. I plan things for a living (but in a completely different field) and thought we could handle everything ourselves. But after we met with another vendor and realized after we made the non-​refundable payment, we were in over our heads (and grossly blew our budget on the service).
On the same day, I had made the decision to meet with two wedding planners. One of the planners actually cancelled on me in the same day. But the other conveniently told me she would meet me at a Starbucks near the house vs me driving down south 40 mins to meet up. Enter Amy June, wedding planner extraordinaire and magic maker.
The next year of planning was made extremely easy. Amy knows her vendors and she knows her industry. Her pricing is more than reasonable and she is worth every single penny. She directed us to meetings with clients and even introduced us to some really good people. Amy makes your wedding a priority and it doesn’t matter if she has 5 weddings in one week, when its your day, it is YOUR DAY.
On the days leading to the wedding, I was a hot mess. All of my planning, my ideas, my family — everything was going nuts. (Shoes missing, cars not starting, parents last minute complaints, missing bridal party rehearsal dinner venue forgetting about us and making us wait an hour for food! See previous Unilocal).
I look back fondly on the day and now call it a day of «controlled chaos». (Any one with a huge wedding who denies any craziness is LYING :).) Amy was amazing. She made sure that everything was where it needed to be and helped make the room look absolutely beautiful. During the reception, she fluffed my veil and made sure that our huge entourage made it down the aisle in one piece. She ensured that we got our beers (important) at dinner and that the reception was moving at a steady pace (strict venue!).
To this day, Amy is more than just our coordinator — she has become an amazing friend. What more can you want? We direct all of our engaged friends and family to use her services and always will!

I hired Amy as a day-​of coordinator for my January wedding. However, she did much more than just being there on the day of the wedding.
From when I hired her to the day of the wedding, she provided a lot of great suggestions for the reception and smoothed issues that I had in regards to the wedding timeline and vendors. She provided a lot of great vendor recommendations and I ended up hiring the caterer, DJ, and transportation from her recommendations.
She is very knowledgeable and executed the reception to how I imagined it would be. The reception timeline was on track. I know I had some worries that I didn’t have enough time to include the reception events that I wanted in a 4 hour period, but it all happened thanks to Amy’s organization and the vendors. If any problems occurred during the reception, then I had no idea because I all I remember is enjoying the night with my family and friends: D. All of our items that needed to be returned were all returned to us safely and I hardly worried about anything that day. (And I tend to stress out on a lot of things! Haha!) She is very fast at responding to questions. I also got my deposit returned by the venue so it was a success.

We hired Amy as our ‘Month-​of’ coordinator for our Nov 30 wedding.
Let me just start off by saying. she is THE ONE to get if you wanna have a smooth, no stress, worry free wedding day! My hubby and I agreed at the very beginning that hiring a «day-​of» coordinator was a good investment, just to have that peace of mind on our big day. The first few months of wedding planning were going great. until crunch time (about 6 months before the wedding) that’s when I started MAJORLY stressing out, but Amy was always there to respond to my «vent texts». and always gave me tips, ideas, and assurance to help out. Even though we hired her for «month-​of» coordinating, she was pretty much there to guide us when ever we had any questions or concerns. We met with her several times before the wedding to go over things and she referred us to a few vendors that we hadn’t booked yet. She has plenty of money saving tips. knows what works best and also referred us to the DJ we ended up hiring, Dennis — The Creative Music DJ! (if you’re looking for the best DJ who uses real turn tables, emcee’s, AND knows his music. check him out!)
You can also tell that Amy is truly a pro and she knows EXACTLY what she’s doing. she handles everything from a stressed out bride. to a very BIG bridal party (we had 13 bridesmaids, 11 groomsmen and 10 pairs of sponsors to give you a picture of how big.) to creating a beautiful reception from a budget that drastically changed last minute.
I had also decided to DIY our centerpieces. she helped us figure out the most cost effective solution for those and she was also able to figure out a way to transport 30+ vases and 30 mason jars with the flowers in them from the church to the venue, which helped ease my mind cause i had NO IDEA how we were gonna get them onto base (our reception was at the Admiral Kidd in Point Loma) while we were all at the church (the Immaculata at USD). We had a major time gap from 3 – 6 after ceremony and start of reception. She also set up our table number luminaries, had the idea of moving our cake table next to us VS all the way near the DJ as the venue had originally set it up. we never would have thought to move anything around but the «flow» was a lot better that way, good looking out Amy!
She also threw in some added touches of her own that she provided. like extra decorations. and also managed to convince our DJ to add a few more lighting touches that we otherwise wouldn’t have had. and it just made our venue «glow». literally! I never could have imagined everything would look as pretty as it did. especially since a lot of what I originally wanted, we had to cut out due to budget. but in the end it didn’t even matter cause Amy (and her assistant Melissa!) were able to tie everything together and give us a beautiful wedding :)
I just can’t say enough about Amy. I could probably go on and on and on about everything she did for us and everything she helped us solve, but I recommend that everyone just find out on their own. You will not regret hiring her! AMY, YOU’RE THE BEST! You make me wanna get married all over again. almost. LOL

Amy is my wedding fairy godmother.
I was a HUGE mess trying to plan my wedding. Between owning and running two businesses, I have no idea what I was thinking trying to plan a wedding in 3 months.
Luckily, I found Amy, who was an ABSOLUTE life saver! She was there for me through everything and was so professional and really had her stuff together. I am sure my wedding would have failed without her, there are so many things that go into a wedding that I had no idea existed, and she just pulled every last little detail together flawlessly. I had three coordination meetings with my venue and she was there for every one, and when I was deathly ill for one of these meetings, she ran the entire meeting for me being able to convey to the venue exactly what I wanted for all of the details. She even had a selection of decorations that fit my theme perfectly and filled some gaps where I needed some extra décor.
Amy is so wonderful and confident! She knew exactly what I needed and also knew how to protect me from people and other vendors that may have been trying to take advantage of a bride just hoping everything turns out right. Amy is amazing at what she does, she is a serious wedding pro and really knows everything about weddings. She made sure everything went smoothly for the wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
I was a mess, and I needed more than just a coordinator, I needed Amy, my wedding fairy god mother!

My husband and I planned our wedding in San Diego as a destination wedding — with almost no contacts in the area to assist us and minimal knowledge of the city. After starting the research/​planning process, I began to feel a little (okay, a lot) overwhelmed and just for S&Gs looked into a coordinator. I happily discovered that there was such a thing as «day of» services and Googled and Unilocaled from there until I stumbled upon Amy — and I’m SO THANKFUL I found her! She was a lot of fun to talk to and had a way of putting my mind at ease.
Even though she was my day-​of coordinator, you wouldn’t know it. She referred me to the DJ (The Creative Music DJ), make-​up artist (Lipstick & Luster), photographer (AS Photography) and ceremony musician (ukulele player Anthony Cutietta) and even helped me whenever I had difficulty reaching someone at the reception venue or if I just had general «what should I do?» questions. She also took the time during a brief visit 6 months prior to drive us around to check out the ceremony and reception sites and cake tasting. Not to mention all the emails and texts she responded to without complaint.
The wedding went off without a hitch and Amy and her assistant (Melissa, I believe) were AMAZING. Amy even had a kidney stone but (despite my protests that she go to the hospital) trucked on through it and made sure I had a day I’ll never forget.
THANK YOU AMY!

I am a wedding photographer, and was lucky enough to be able to work side by side with Amy for a wedding this summer. I’ve never seen a wedding run so smoothly, or a couple so relaxed on their special day. She did an amazing job with everything, from setting up the reception venue, to coordinating the event, and even letting me know which side the couples were entering from so I could plan for the best shots!
Not to mention her attitude is calm, cool, and professional!
Can’t wait to work with her again!

Amy was our magnificent wedding planner for our October LGBT wedding at the Estancia LaJolla in San Diego. She came as a last minute recommendation from our friends Sara and Ryan (of Sara + Ryan Photography). We had previously contracted with another planner who was a friend of the family however we had to cut our budget down and couldn’t afford to work with them in the long run. Fast forward to our quickly approaching wedding date when we were gifted a sum of money and found ourselves overwhelmed in the minutiae of details. We decided we needed a day-​of planner at the very least.
From our first meeting our energy just flowed. Amy and I are very similar in our communication style… we can talk about 20 different things in the span of 15 minutes. She went above and beyond to help us connect with other vendors who extended great discounts to us because of her excellent working relationship with them. We finally felt like our dream wedding was coming together! For the first time I was relieved as the day approached.
On the day of our wedding everything went as planned, and if it didn’t we had no clue lol as it should be. We were never inconvenienced. We remember every minute of our special day! We were able to relax and absorb it all. Amy was a true professional… and now she is a great friend!
