AWE for the Win!
Working with Ayanda as our wedding planner for our Spring 2025 wedding was an absolute delight. Since we began our journey together in November 2023, Ayanda has consistently shown dedication and expertise. Ayanda is a fantastic listener and communicator, blending our differing visions. When my wife and I couldn't agree, Ayanda's calm and friendly demeanor helped harmonize our ideas, bringing our dreams to life in ways we hadn't imagined. Her ability to stay level-headed under pressure is truly admirable. Ayanda provided thoughtful suggestions and solutions, always keeping our budget in mind while ensuring our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. Her vendor recommendations were perfect, fitting seamlessly into our plans and proving to be worth every penny. Ayanda held monthly meetings with us, increasing the frequency as our wedding day approached to ensure every detail was meticulously planned. Her thorough preparation and friendly approach made our wedding day smooth and stress-free. Our friends and family have not stopped raving about our wedding, and this is truly a reflection of Ayanda’s dedication to our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Ayanda as a wedding planner. Her ability to bring a vision to life, combined with her professionalism and attention to detail, makes her an invaluable asset. We would happily work with Ayanda time and time again.
Response from vendor•Apr 4, 2025Alexia & Joi!!! Reading your review filled me with so much gratitude - it’s hard to put into words how much it means to me and my team! From the very beginning of our journey, I knew right away that planning your Spring 2025 wedding would be something truly special. Working with you both has been such an honor and a joy! The palpable love that you share, your mutual respect, and your shared commitment to creating not only a beautiful life together but also a day that reflected both of your personalities made every single step of the process so meaningful. You have no idea! The goal has always been to ensure that you both felt heard, seen, and supported. So, hearing that my role helped you find harmony and clarity in those moments with differing visions is the greatest compliment that I could receive and possibly could've hoped for. I’m so glad that the space we created together felt calm, collaborative, and rooted in trust. TRUST- that's the key element! And I thank you for it. Thank you for embracing the process so fully as well - from our monthly meetings to those exciting final weeks as the day drew near. I appreciated your openness, your thoughtfulness, and your willingness to explore ideas while staying true to what mattered most to you. It makes me so happy to hear that the vendors we brought on board were a perfect fit for you and that the entire celebration felt seamless and true to your beautiful vision! Also hearing that your friends and family are still raving about the day is SUCH a heartwarming reminder of why I love what we do. Your words affirm everything I hope to bring to each wedding that I plan: intention, joy, ease, and an experience that truly reflects the couple at the heart of it all. Once again, thank you! From the bottom of my heart, for your trust and for allowing me to walk this journey with you. I would absolutely love to work with you again in any season of life you choose to celebrate in the future! :) With love, Ayanda WhitingAyanda is Amazing!!
Ayanda was an absolute dream to work with! I was in desperate need of a wedding planner, and she was the key to making my day a success. She listened to everything I wanted without judgment and was my biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process. Whenever I needed help, she always had amazing ideas while still respecting my vision, ensuring that every detail felt personal and perfect. Her organization skills kept me on track and stress-free, making sure everything stayed within the timeline. Not only is Ayanda incredibly professional, but she also has the most beautiful soul and personality, making every interaction a joy. On the wedding day, she was so on top of everything that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing! She worked seamlessly with all the vendors to make sure everything went off without a hitch. And if anything did go wrong, I never even knew—because Ayanda had it handled! I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, supportive, creative, and an absolute delight to work with, Ayanda is the one!
