Lanie S. Sent on 06/05/2022Debby at Amber Events is the best!
Debby at Amber Events is a total rockstar. We did the Event Management package, and while she doesn't take over until two months before the wedding (per the package), she helped guide us and keep us on track with deadlines. The software she makes available to you is SUPER helpful in planning your first (and hopefully last) wedding -- budgeting, guest management, seating chart (this was epic), task lists, and vendor payments and contact info. Once Debby took over fully, it was a seamless transition (because of said software), and she was able to totally take over coordination with all of our vendors. And most importantly, she made our wedding day run smoothly, was patient and totally cool under pressure, and was super organized to make sure all of our personal belongings got back to us at the end of the night. I'm sure there's so much more she did that we weren't even privy to because her main focus was making sure we just had a blast at our wedding and didn't worry about a thing! At the end of the wedding, she was the person I wanted to hug goodbye the most. Thank you so much, Debby! -

I had the pleasure of working with Debby during the planning and execution of our baby shower for my first baby girl. All I had to do was describe my vision for our event and she did the rest. Constant updates on pieces she wanted to incorporate along with pricing. She worked so hard at getting us the best deal! She stayed within our budget but somehow managed to exceed my expectations. The day of the shower I felt like everything just fell into place and I completely trusted her timing and judgement. I know the time and effort it took her and will be forever grateful! -
User2726076 Sent on 08/15/2016Nira was fantastic!! She listened to what I was envisioning and made it happen. I am somewhat controlling and was convinced to get a wedding coordinator for the day. I spoke with Nira and I contracted to use her as my wedding coordinator the month before the wedding and the day of the wedding. I couldn't have done it with her. She had names and vendors to last minute things I wanted but didn't have time to research. She and her crew coordinated everything for me on my wedding day. They were a few minor things that were missing, but nothing that was known to anyone else but me. I didn't have to worry about all the things I needed to get done and/or coordinate. We created a timeline and flow on how I wanted the evening to go, and it went just as planned. Nira gave me the best gift ever ... that piece of mind to enjoy my day ... one of the best decision I made, other than saying "yes" to my new husband. -

Christina Sent on 10/07/2015I have worked with Nira on a few events now, and have to rave about how awesome her and her team are!! They are super design savvy, keep everyone organized, and are just an overall pleasure to work with!! I can't tell you how many unprofessional planners I've come across in the past 10 years, so when I work with one who is super on top of it...I can't help but be wowed and happy for the couple that they are in such good hands!!! -

Debby is an amazing visionary that makes events pristine and flow effortlessly. She coordinated my wedding in Chicago, IL and my bridal shower in Orange County (CA). From managing our difficult reception vendor in Chicago to bringing to life a full-on Alice in Wonderland themed bridal shower, Debby managed each event with grace, creativity, and overall excellence. Her talents are many and what makes her the best is that she is so incredibly friendly, which makes the whole partnership enjoyable! Always a good time with Debby and I'm always at ease when entrusting her with an event/project! -
User2537731 Sent on 02/18/2016If I could give nira more stars I would!!! She made our whimsical romantic Hawaiian wedding day vision in my head a real day!!! It was gorgeous and everything I could ever have wanted. We live in San Diego and she was so helpful finding everything for us. I love all the vendors she helped us narrow down and kept us on track with everything. We had many coffee meetings and she came to all of our meet ups with vendors as well. We could definitely rely on her for anything which is huge when planning your special day!!! She's super fun and really easy to talk to about anything whether serious or not. We loved her vibe!! They are definitely worth the money to make your special day not stressful. I didn't have any freak outs or stressful days having her along side us. Thank you to Nira and the rest of your girls!! -
User2061652 Sent on 03/09/2015Amber, Nira and the girls were amazing! My wedding day was gorgeous and most importantly for me , I had a blast!! I loved them so much that my brother is now using them to plan his wedding!! You can't go wrong with Amber Events! -
User1236671 Sent on 07/10/2013Nira of Amber Events is my hero. I was planning my Marvimon wedding from Western Massachusetts and knew I needed a coordinator to help me pull this thing off. As soon as I met Nira over Skype, I knew she was perfect. She's super sweet. She also has lots of experience working with Marvimon and many of the preferred vendors. Most importantly, this girl kept it real. Her recommendations for vendors were fabulous and she had the best advice ever to keep our budget in check. I knew I could trust her no matter what.
A few months before our wedding, my fiance and I found out we were moving back to California....2 weeks before the wedding. I panicked. Having Nira on my team made this whole process so much easier and less stressful. My fiance and I met with Nira 6 weeks before our wedding and handed everything over. From that point on, she was my go to girl and took care of everything. Seriously, like everything. I am a crazy organized Excel spreadsheet-making, to-do list, triple check everything, follow-up email kind of girl. Nira was able to lift this weight off my shoulders when I had so many other things to be thinking about.
On the day of my wedding, Nira was at the venue bright and early with several assistants (who were all fabulous as well). Nira and her girls executed everything perfectly and my wedding turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The whole planning process was made so much easier by having hired Nira. Worth every penny. -

Trish Sent on 10/19/2009Amber Gustafson from Amber Events is:
Wedding Coordinator Extraordinaire
Experienced
Calm demeanor
Sweet
Trusting
Leader
someone you can count on for every single detail
I have been personal assistant to high profile clients for many years and am currently a project manager in charge of over 40 people, so I know what is required when it comes to this type of work and I therefore expect nothing but the best. Initially I dismissed the idea of having a wedding coordinator or even a "day of" wedding coordinator. I have organised large parties and weddings in the past. However, after meeting with Amber for 30 minutes I knew that I had been sent not only a reliable, work-horse who would make sure my wedding went smoothly, but I had also been sent an angel who would keep me calm throughout the whole process and somebody I knew I could count on. She guided me through the process with confidence, which in turn allowed me to let go and enjoy the day.
In the lead up to the wedding Amber was fantastic. She sent forms requesting loads of information which pushed us to make decisions and not leave things to the last minute. I was confident that not one detail of the day was left out.
The weekend of the wedding:
My hair and make-up person cancelled two days before the wedding. I called Amber, in tears, not knowing what to do. Within an hour she had 5 people for me to call and they all knew the details of what I needed. I was so worried that things would not work out and she helped me to stay calm and remind me what tears would do to my makeup. The day of the wedding, which will forever be the best day of my life, was perfect. NOTHING could have been different. Amber was there every single step of the way making sure that it went smoothly. From the Quartet starting on time and then swiftly moving to the cocktail area to our grand entrance, every part of the day and every person involved knew what was happening.
My wedding day is somewhat of a blur to me because everything seemed to happen so fast but one thing I can remember is Amber's smiling face. I felt like there must have been 5 of her because she was always in the right place at the right time where she needed to be. She was there right to the end, making sure certain items we wanted saved from the day were carefully packed and put into the limos.
Overall, my husband and I can't thank Amber enough for what she did in the lead-up, preparation, support and "on the day" of the wedding. She was supportive, provided firm guidance, a wealth of practical knowledge and great contacts in all areas of the industry. We cannot recommend her highly enough! -

Mallika Sent on 08/24/2009My husband and I were overjoyed with our choice to book Amber Events for our May wedding! Amber came to our rescue during the planning process;6 months out from our wedding date, we found ourselves without a venue! We had to move our wedding date up from August to May so that we could keep our location. We were not only having trouble with our vendors, but were now stressed out about getting everything finished on time. We knew that we needed help. When we met with Amber she made us feel more relaxed right away. She understood our concerns and genuinely cared about our situation. We really clicked with her, and knew that she would do a great job helping us have the wedding we wanted.
One of the best pre-wedding things we got from Amber was advice and reassurance. When we were stressed about something, we could just call or email her, and she got back to us very quickly with a solution or a plan. She was professional, but I also felt like she really understood what I was going through and would be here to talk me through it. She also had very helpful paperwork, from information about where and how to get our license, to getting to know you type of questions. We really felt like she was taking the time to find out who we were so that she could give us the best recommendations and advise.
On our wedding day, Amber and her assistant Krista seamlessly ran the show from behind the scenes. They set up the reception perfectly! It looked better than I'd even pictured! They brought us drinks while we waited for the guests to arrive and made sure that we got something to eat after the ceremony. They jumped in when our parking attendants didn't show up, helping to direct cars and get the shuttled to turn around in a tiny little driveway (best of all, they didn't say one word about this to us. I didn't even know that the parking attendants didn't show up until after we got back from our honeymoon!). And the reception went so smoothly. From getting food at the buffet line, to the toasts, FD and MS dances, and cake cutting! It was all easy and fun. Amber kept us on track with our time line, but I never once felt rushed.
I have heard from so many people, especially my wedding party, what a relaxed and go with the flow bride I was. And I know for a fact that this was mostly due to the fact that I completely trusted Amber! We had gone back and forth about hiring a coordinator, and weather it was worth spending money on. And I am SO glad that we did. It was the best use of our money! My husband and I had an amazing time at our wedding. We weren't worried about any of the details because we knew that Amber Events would take are of it. And they did. Everything we asked for, and MORE!
Thank you!!!! -

Sara Sent on 10/21/2009The first time you meet Amber from Amber Events you will know she is the ?fabulous? you want to plan your wedding!
When my daughter got engaged I had 1.5 years to plan her wedding. She and her fianc? were PhD students with little free time and I had done event planning in the past. After 6 months of online research of vendors, their websites and reviews, I had limited my choices in each category to 50 and upward! Living in Kansas, and my daughter and the wedding in Los Angeles, I finally decided I needed a wedding planner.
The name that kept coming back to me over and over in my research was Amber from Amber Events. I gave Amber a call along with a few other planners. She was the only one who promptly returned my call and impressed me from our conversation. Her warmth and personality made me feel like I had known her forever. We set an appointment to meet on my next trip to Los Angeles and I had so much confidence in her from our phone talk, that I never set a meeting with any other planners! Once we met I knew I had made the right choice.
I?m the type of person who has to be in charge and do everything myself, but with Amber?s knowledge of the wedding business, her organizational skills, her attention to details, and her timelines, I was at ease knowing all the planning would be taken care of while I was back in Kansas. She was always a step ahead and nothing was ever done at the last minute.
Amber gave me recommendations for vendors, and not one of them was on my list after six months of research. Her vendor choices were perfect and she took great care in knowing the wedding family and matching vendors who would work well with our personalities. I was very pleased with every one of our vendor choices that she recommended. Amber individualized and customizes each and every wedding to fit her clients? own style. No cookie cutter weddings here! She always returned my calls and responded to my emails even if all I needed was some encouragement.
On the day of the wedding, with Amber and her assistants handing everything, our family was able to relax and enjoy every moment of the day. Amber Events has javascript:submitForm();proven to me they indeed have the right to advertise as ?Specializing in the Fabulous!?.
All of our family and friend are still raving about our daughter?s wedding and say it was the best wedding they have ever attended. And we have Amber to thank for making the wedding everything we hoped for and so much more!
