Amanda grew up in St. Louis, but found her love for weddings in college at Indiana University where she was a collegiate cross country and track & field athlete. On weekends off from racing, Amanda worked with a local wedding planner who inspired her to pursue wedding planning as a career. After college Amanda made her way to Scottsdale, Arizona where she was introduced to the luxury wedding market. First as an assistant, then working her way up to lead planner. Amanda found her purpose in the world - creating the “best day ever” over and over again for different couples. 

Amanda is a lover of coffee, avocados, running, decluttering and organizing. Her ideal morning includes a sunrise run followed by a pour over with her husband, baby boy and kitty. On non-wedding weekends you will likely see her at a farmer’s market, baking sweet treats or catching up on her latest library loan. The fastest way to her heart is through dessert. Amanda’s favorite part of the wedding day is watching her couples see each other for the first time. Nothing beats a first look or aisle moment!
