A PLANNER WHO POURED HER HEART INTO IT

This wedding was extra special because it was planned by the groom’s sister, and you could feel the love in every last detail. She thought of everything, from big-picture flow to the smallest touches, and we were so honored to step in and coordinate the day she worked so hard to create. It was personal, joyful, and full of heart.

Here’s what Katerina (sister of the groom) had to say:

“Amber is truly one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her highly enough as a day-of coordinator. I loved planning my brother's wedding. However, I knew I needed someone who could take the reins and allow me to genuinely enjoy the day without the stress of managing every little detail. That’s exactly what Amber and her incredible team at Perfect Day Co delivered.

From the very beginning, Amber exhibited a level of patience and kindness that immediately put me at ease. She took the time to understand the vision for the day and addressed any concerns with utmost professionalism and warmth. On the wedding day itself, she went way above and beyond what I could have ever expected. Amber seamlessly coordinated all aspects of the event, ensuring that everything flowed smoothly.

Her attention to detail was remarkable. She was always one step ahead, anticipating needs before they even arose, which allowed us to focus on enjoying the moment. It’s a true testament to her expertise and experience.

Thanks to Amber’s hard work and dedication, the bride and groom had the wedding of their dreams, and witnessing their happiness made my heart swell with joy. Amber genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in her role as a coordinator. I am beyond grateful for her support and the positive energy she constantly has.

Thank you, Amber, for being amazing inside and out and for truly being one of the BEST at your job! Your passion for what you do shines through, and I am so thankful to have had you by our side on such an important day.”

A VENDOR LINEUP FOR THE BOOKS

There was no such thing as too much fun at this one. If you can dream it, it was there. Miniature ponies? Check. Grab-and-go margaritas? You bet. A live band, colorful bridesmaids, yard games, photo booth, and one heck of a party vibe? All present and accounted for. This wedding was an experience from start to finish.

A DESSERT BAR WORTH CELEBRATING

Let’s talk about the sweets. Between the fully loaded candy bar and the dessert spread that had guests swooning, it’s safe to say no one left hungry. It was playful, nostalgic, and completely delicious—the kind of setup people are still talking about.

THE MAGIC OF RIVERBEND RANCH
