  • Amani Affairs - the best!!

    I always knew I wanted a wedding planner and when I got engaged 2 months after starting a new job and juggling moving in with my fiance, I knew I needed some professional help! From the moment that I spoke with Jihan on our initial phone call (which she set up to get vibes) I knew she was the one for me!!! I quote "you should hire me because I will reassure your mom that yes, there is enough food!". She is so professional, creative, prompt, and just a joy to work with. She made wedding planning (260 guests, planned in 8 months - wow!) the best time for me and my fiance!!! We have recommended her to everyone - she knows everyone in Wilmington and they all rave about her too! I am so grateful I got to work with her and that she was able to make my wedding the best night of my life.

    Wow—getting a review from both you and your husband? That’s amazing, and we’re so grateful! Planning your wedding at Sea Trail Golf Resort in Sunset Beach was such a joy. With 260 guests and only eight months to plan, you had a lot going on—but you handled it like pros! I’m so glad our partial planning and design services helped make the process easier (and kept your mom’s food worries in check!). It means the world that you trusted us and are sharing the love with others. Wishing you both a lifetime full of happiness and unforgettable moments—cheers to your forever!

From our first call, they demonstrated an organized, professional, and punctual communication style that put us at ease throughout the planning process. Their experienced and detailed approach ensured every aspect of our wedding day went smoothly, from finding an ice cream truck that fit our budget to creating a pleasing, personalized experience for all our guests. We could not have asked for a better team to bring our special day to life. Highly recommended!

    Amani Affairs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they were understanding, attentive and extremely detail-oriented. Their communication style was so nice and they were super easy to talk to. The quality of their work was amazing - they were incredibly efficient and made our special day feel so easy and smooth. We had no issues on our wedding day thanks to Amani Affairs, and I would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding planner. Amani Affairs truly felt like family and I'm so grateful for all they did to make our wedding day perfect. Jihan was truly so easy to work with and brought our vision to life! :)

    Amani Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, their communication style was prompt, kind, and deeply understanding of our vision. The quality of their work was nothing short of delicate, tasteful, and elegant. We had a 3-day wedding affair with 3 different parties and DJs, and Jihan was so patient and supportive through even the smallest details. Our wedding was truly beautiful - we had over 100 guests and were blown away by the food, decor, space, music, and even the thoughtful signage and design. Amani Affairs exceeded our expectations in every way and made our special day an absolute joy. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

    Your wedding weekend was a great undertaking for us. From the rehearsal dinner at Pilot House, the wedding at Brooklyn Arts Center, to the after party at Palate, we ensured every detail was perfect. Your guests truly got to experience Downton Historic Wilmington. Thank you for noticing that we really care about all the details - small and large. We thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. You guys made it easy!
