Double A Weddings & Events

Q: Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

I personally only work one wedding a weekend, but, if I am booked on your wedding weekend, I can sometimes offer you one of my amazing lead assistants to coordinate your rehearsal and wedding day, while I still handle all of the wedding planning per package. This option is handled on a case by case basis.

Q: Are you part of a team? Who will we be working with?

I am generally a one-woman show, but I do utilize coordination assistants, depending on the scope of the event, at my discretion and on my own dime.

Q: Do you also plan other events, like showers or rehearsal dinners?

I sure do! While weddings are my bread and butter now, I do all kinds of events and have over 16 years of diverse event experience.

Q: How much time should we expect to spend with you?

As much time as it takes! For coordination, it's about 40 hours of my time including your day, but I have couples that use up more than that. For planning and partial planning, you get as much time as it takes. For any package, you'll see me as often as you need and as little as once a month with plenty of emailing in between.

Q: What are your weddings like? Any specialties?

I have worked on lots of different weddings, but I excel at creating a laid-back atmosphere and taking stress off of my clients. I do specialize in non-traditional and queer weddings, but have certainly executed plenty of traditional weddings as well.

About Double A Weddings & Events

Double A Weddings & Events

Owner, Wedding Planner & Coordinator

Hi I'm Andy Anthony! I'm a Portland, Oregon event planner with 16 years of diverse event experience and over 7 years of wedding experience. Double A is my name, Andy Anthony, and it's also the boundless energy I bring to my work. With this philosophy in mind, I founded Double A Weddings & Events, and I’ll work day and night to guarantee that your event will be filled with unforgettable moments. I believe that weddings should be FUN and that you should get to relax and enjoy such a momentous occasion. I love nothing more than making your special day perfect, to take the burden off you so you can just enjoy.

I fully believe that there is no wrong way to do a wedding and your wedding should represent YOU and so I will provide my expertise and guidance while following your lead and respecting your vision. Whether you want to craft the most untraditional nuptials ever or you want to go all tradition all the way, I'll be there to support you and make it happen. I am a vaccinated and LGBTQIA+ wedding vendor. I am a planning team of one, but do use coordination assistants on event days.

In three words: Empathetic, Organized, Supportive

As a queer couple, it was incredibly comforting and joyful to find a Wedding Planner who is also part of the LGBTQ community! Andy from Double A Weddings made our wedding day perfect!! We booked her Wedding Coordinator package, since we already had several of our vendors chosen by the time we discovered her, and she made the whole process run so smoothly, and kept us from having to worry about any details on the day of. She is both incredibly professional, and an incredibly warm person, and we felt 100% comfortable leaving our wedding day in her hands. Absolutely recommend to anyone getting married!!

On your big day, choose Andy! We cannot tell you enough how organized, dependable and reassuring she was during our wedding planning process. She answered all our questions promptly, and kept everything on track so we could enjoy our wedding! It was the best decision to have Andy as our wedding coordinator, and we appreciate all the care she put into making sure our day ran smoothly and effortlessly.

I'm so glad we hired Andy. I had no idea how stressful and time consuming planning a wedding would be. I understand some people love it, but it's okay if you don't. Andy is so understanding and helpful, and empowered us to feel okay and not guilty about our decisions. All of her vendor recommendations were awesome. It really seems to make a difference when your wedding is run by really nice people who love weddings. Everyone really helped to make our wedding a dream come true, and I couldn't thank her enough for making that happen. My only regret is that I didn't hire Andy earlier. Highly recommend!
You will be glad you hired Andy!

We hired Andy (Double A Wedding & Events) to be our day-of coordinator. I also hired her to help with a little bit of the planning and vendor correspondence as well. I cannot recommend Andy enough. She made our wedding day easy and seamless. The only thing we had to worry about on our wedding day was having fun and getting married. Andy handled everything else. I 100% recommend hiring her for your wedding day. You will be glad you have her on your side!
