Amiee D'maris Weddings

  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Novato, CA

My approach is rooted in discovering your love story & using your love story to deepen the experience of your wedding. I am a poet, designer & chef, which gives me a unique understanding of what goes on behind the scenes, especially in regards to catering. This experience gives me a special ability to help guide you when it comes to hiring vendors and deciding on a wedding theme, menu or design choices. I love unique design that reflects the couple's love story, or gives the guests a unique and deeply moving experience. I think forming a bond is important in order to establish trust, so that I may handle with grace your most important day.

My husband and I were married on September 20th, 2024 in Sonoma, California. I cannot imagine our wedding planning era & wedding without Amiee. As a native Sonoma/Glen Ellen girl, Amiee and I have a shared history of growing up in Sonoma, which lent her an advantage in planning and scoping out possible locations for rehearsal dinners, etc. Amiee also has a great eye and an appreciation for the finer things, so you can trust anything she recommends will be tasteful and beautiful. While I made most decisions with regards to color palettes, design, and aesthetic, I trusted Amiee to oversee the final setup and arrangements the day of, which was initially difficult for me to release control of, and she did NOT disappoint. Our reception was beautiful - my husband's boss told him it was the nicest wedding he had ever been to. My husband and I did things a bit unconventionally, with our vows in a backyard ceremony and our reception at the Jack London Lodge. Amiee helped us navigate the logistics of having 2 locations, and had a wealth of knowledge with regard to the smallest details, such as how many passed appetizers, do you really need a shuttle, etc. In addition to the overall wedding planning, Amiee's husband & his team were the caterers, which we still get compliments on 3 months after the wedding. The catering, overall smooth flow, the last minute touches Amiee added at the end - I am so grateful we worked with her and our wedding would not have been what it was without Amiee & their team.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

From start to finish, our experience with Fresh Capsule Vibes was nothing short of amazing! Right from the initial inquiry after an ISO post on Facebook, the response time was incredibly fast, and Jesse made us feel at ease with every step of the process. They were professional, approachable, and genuinely excited to be part of our special day. On the wedding day itself, Jesse and her team were a joy to work with. They kept a positive and calm energy throughout the entire day, which made us feel relaxed and confident. They were also incredibly organized, making sure we stayed on schedule for all the important moments while still capturing everything we wanted — and more! She also had a special understanding of Filipino families which I think added an extra special touch of comfort. As for the photos and video, we were absolutely blown away! The quality is exceptional. Every shot captured not only the beauty of the day but also the emotions and the little details we may have missed in the moment. The editing was perfect for the video was well and we have loved watching and re-watching it. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to work with Jesse. Their talent and passion for photography really shine through, and we’ll treasure these memories forever.

Where do I even begin with Evelyn and Love & Laughter Weddings? Working with them for our NYC wedding was like having your coolest, most organized friend magically transform into a superhero wedding planner. Five stars aren't enough! From day one, they got our vibe and ran with it. The whole process felt less like business and more like planning a giant party with your best friends who happen to know EVERYTHING about weddings in the city. It was all heart eyes and high-fives from start to finish. The attention to detail was on point. I'm talking about Insta-worthy details that had our guests snapping pics left and right. Our wedding wasn't just an event; it was a personalized masterpiece, carefully curated by the Love & Laughter team. And can we talk about their local knowledge? They didn't just recommend venues; they curated experiences. We ended up with a wedding that was so 'us' it was like they peeked into our dreams and made it happen. What sets Evelyn and the entire team at Love & Laughter apart is their infectious energy. Wedding planning can be stressful, but these guys turned it into a series of laugh-out-loud moments. They made us feel like we were planning the coolest party of the year – and spoiler alert, it totally was. Our wedding day was a blast, and we owe it all to Love & Laughter Weddings.

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali.

Glennie and Lauren did so wonderful with our wedding. We had the "month-of" services, and they really helped wrangle all the final details and day-of chaos. Kept us on schedule, & took all our piece-mail decorations and made our wedding beautiful. Plus they were just really wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

WHERE do I begin!? My mom and I thought we could plan my wedding ourselves but we quickly realized we needed help and that is where Kari came in. We met with a few other planners who we were not loving before meeting with Kari and we were immediately drawn in to her warm, calming and wonderful nature. She is queen and I mean QUEEN planner and our wedding weekend was 10/10 perfect all around solely because of her and her team. Kari made wedding planning...which can be so stressful and overwhelming, feel so easy, manageable and FUN. My family, fiancee and I felt so taken care of and safe in her hands I cannot begin to describe how important it was to not worry AT ALL wedding weekend because Kari had it on lock. She was such a calm presence in the wedding weekend frenzy that I was so grateful for. She was always there to answer my millions of questions and made us feel seen, heard and understood. She took our vision and made it come to life, working with our vendors to ensure our weekend was everything we wanted. Your wedding planner is THE most important person on your wedding weekend (besides your S.O. heheh) so you want someone wonderful, kind hearted, fun, present, organized, calm and someone who just gets it...and that's Kari!!! PLEASE do not hesitate booking her...she is truly a dream come true. OH and she did it all 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. Can someone say superwoman!!?!?!

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie and the team at Faye Fern Creative did all the planning and design work for me and my wife's wedding this past month, and they did a PHENOMENAL job. First off, I think communication is key when you're planning an event of this size and magnitude, and Natalie was incredibly easy to communicate with. She was always just a text or call away, and she never made me feel like she was rushing me if I had any questions or concerns or wanted to flesh out the details of a certain issue. She was always patient, level-headed, receptive to criticism, and willing to discuss any issue whatsoever. The communication overall pre-wedding was very on-point. Secondly, Natalie's talent for designing and creating a timeless beautiful aesthetic is second to none. Her taste is impeccable, she has an attention to detail that you will deeply respect, and she will help you create a cohesive design element that will have you and your guests blown away. From the ceremony design all the way down to the drapes and the cutlery, Natalie has a keen eye for creating a gorgeous yet comfortable/welcoming design. Everything she does is tasteful and creates that special atmosphere that makes a wedding so unforgettable and emotional. She will definitely help bring your vision to life, and if you're not really interested in coming up with a design element for your wedding or don't know much about it, just know that you're in amazing hands with Natalie. Lastly, I just want to comment on Natalie's work ethic and dedication. From the first call we had with her all the way to the end of the wedding, I could trust that Natalie and her team were doing EVERYTHING in their power to make our wedding weekend the most special few days possible. Natalie has a deep passion for the work she does, and she will work tirelessly to bring your vision to life. Our wedding day was easily one of the greatest days of our lives, and that was in large part due to Natalie and her team's amazing work and preparation. I highly recommend Natalie and The Faye Fern Creative team for wedding planning and creating the most unforgettable wedding for you and your partner!

We are so so happy and blessed with how our wedding turned out. Linda was a big part of thinking through all of the ideas that my partner and I had. She also was very professional and skilled at dealing with some tense moments and negotiations with a venue that we had picked out before hiring Linda. At all moments, we felt very strongly that Linda was personally invested in making our wedding day special - from thinking through so many details ahead of time to making small adjustments to decorations and tables throughout the wedding.

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company.

Welcome and congratulations on your engagement!

As a former Executive Assistant it was easy to transition to becoming a Wedding Coordinator. I traded managing CEOs and their schedules for managing couples and theirs! I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2006, starting with designing invitations and full planning to where I am now.

Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need. I am so impressed with her skills and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my closest friends and family.
