Reviews of Amy Champagne Events, LLC. (Event Planner)

Christine Lally

Working with Amy Champagne Events was easily one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. Lindsey brought our vision for our dream wedding to life and offered us necessary peace of mind from the stress that comes along with planning a wedding from an opposite coast. Lindsey and Amy are extremely detail-oriented which helped our day run so smoothly and worry-free. We could not have pulled off the best day of our lives without ACE.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My mom hired Amy Champagne Events to help plan my wedding remotely. We worked with Lindsey, who was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. I have NO idea how we would have pulled off such a beautiful wedding without Lindsey! She listened to our vision and totally nailed it!!!! Every step of the way, she was there to help and was super responsive. She was an excellent listener and planner -- and took soooo much of the worry out of the planning. She works incredibly well with vendors and was at all times highly professional, diplomatic, creative, charismatic, and kind. On the wedding day, she and her team went above and beyond to make me and the entire wedding party feel so taken care of, and everything ran seamlessly. Thanks to her, my mom and I were able to ENJOY the moment without worrying about a thing. :) We are ETERNALLY grateful to Lindsey and Amy Champagne Events for making our special day the BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!!!!

I can not say enough thank you to Amy Champagne Events. Idil and Patrick had an amazing wedding event in September 27, 2019. Lindsey, I can not express my feelings how you dedicated work for my daughter and my son in law's event. You work awesome. I see one more time, how I did a excellent decision to work with you. Definitely, it worth. THANK YOU AGAIN

Amazing Experience! Lindsey and Amy worked with me to customize my contract to fit my needs. The price was reasonable, specially compared to some other planners. Then Lindsey took over as my wedding planner who was amazing. It's nice to have someone on your side every step of the way. From organizing venders to offering sound advise to my husband and I. I also appreciated their responsiveness and availability. When it came to the day of, not only did Lindsey and her team keep everything/everyone organized, but they were able to created my dream wedding. It was really cool to think of what I wanted in my head and then to have them execute it flawlessly. And I happen to be very OCD about the way I want things. Lindsey even lent me some beautiful taillight jars and matching chargers that finished off my design perfectly. Our wedding was perfect and a big thanks to Lindsey and Amy Champagne Events.

Working with Amy was absolutely the right decision. I owe my dream wedding to her. We hired Amy as a partial planner a solid 16 months before my 5/21/2016 wedding. We went in just looking for month-of coordination, but two things sold me on partial planning: I would have access to Amy from day one, and she would provide design guidance for the entire event in addition to coordination. Because we hired her so early, we didn't really get to work together until several months later. But from our design consultation (October '15) onward, I knew I couldn't do this without Amy. She took my mishmash of ideas and confused Pinterest board and created a gorgeous vision that felt so true to me and my now husband. She welcomed little personal details (hello, cheesy wedding cake topper) as truly personal, never judging or worrying that they might interfere with the overall look. She executed beautiful ideas while working with our budget (which we loosened up entirely by choice when we realized all the possibilities!). The wedding day felt entirely mine and John's, but Amy gets a ton of credit. That's "creative Amy." Equally amazing is "running the show Amy". One thing to note: I'm a control freak. I wanted to do everything as early as possible, and I wanted to understand how everything would play out well in advance. It was very hard for me to let go of things like the day-of timeline and the logistics of a wedding at multiple locations. Amy taught me to let go. Trusting her and ditching the "early as possible" mentality was a huge lesson for me as a bride and as a person. Early doesn't always mean better. The best brilliance comes in the final hours. And she is SO right about so many things: Holding off on choosing colors because you will get so sick of mint? 100% true. Staying in the limo until you are about to walk down the aisle? Genius. It was so fun sitting with my bridesmaids watching my guests enter behind tinted windows, and it totally calmed me down. Of course there were many things I had total ownership of (remember: control freak), but pretty much any "day-of" operations were in Amy's hands. By the month or two before the wedding, I had total peace of mind knowing Amy was in charge. Bustle my dress? She's on it. Confirm delivery times with all the vendors? Not my job. Iron out any kinks in the timeline? All Amy. Work with the venue to flip the space after a bar mitzvah immediately prior, and have it look like a DREAM? Amy. Amy is a wedding visionary. She's a no-BS businesswoman. She's a badass with a heart of gold. And I can't imagine my wedding day without her. It was flawless. Honorable mention to associate planner Courtney, who was also wonderful—such a pro, but I felt I'd known her for years. Even the lovely intern Marissa totally had it together and was a huge help on the day. Amy helped me go from wanting to control my wedding to letting it wash over me. I really did. It was the best. day. ever.

Amy was the first wedding related choice we made when we first got engaged, and honestly, she was by far the most important. We met with Amy and Lindsey early 2016 before picking a church, venue, date, or any other single detail. We hired Amy and Lindsey for their full planning package, and we are SO glad we did. They guided us through literally everything, all the way up until our wedding in September of 2017. Amy went with us to visit venues, helped us with catering quotes, secured us a tent for the venue, furniture rentals, transportation for guests, music, photography, flowers, linens, lighting, literally everything and kept it all within our budget. Not only did she deal with countless vendors on our behalf and handled the logistics of everything, she truly came up with the most incredible design that was better than what I had envisioned. She took what I had shown her and described to her and ran with it in her design. Every detail was perfect. Giving her the reins was the best thing I could have done. She executed everything perfectly. We had countless meetings, emails, and phone calls and she made planning over the course of 2 years FUN. We had rainy weather on our wedding day and had to utilize our (her) plan b, which worked out seamlessly. We had a super special surprise band performance, a tent, an indoor space, a very long day of timeline… there was a lot going on, and Amy didn’t miss a beat. Lindsey even came to my house the morning before the wedding to pick up some of our décor to take it off my hands, so I didn’t have to worry about bringing it up to our venue. The morning after the wedding, they brought my very long train, all of our décor, and anything else that was ours at the venue and put it in our garage while we were going on our honeymoon. Amy’s day of girls that were with us, Alex and Tes, were wonderful. Anything I needed they had, and no task was too challenging… including going back to the hotel mid reception when we realized our bottles of limoncello for favors were in the best man’s trunk still (in extremely heavy boxes). They all went above and beyond in every way possible. Amy and her team are not just a service or another vendor you hire for the biggest day of your life. She became like family and she constantly had our back. You will feel like you’ve known her for years from day one. We owe the entire day to Amy, I could not have done it without her. Trust me and just trust Amy… and you will be very happy with your perfect day!

Working with Lindsey and Amy to plan our early October wedding was like having our own personal fairy godmother for a year. When had our first chat, Amy said “You’re engaged for such a short period of your life, enjoy every minute of it” – and working with her company was a huge part of letting us do just that. We chose to work with Lindsey for full-service planning, and from our kickoff meeting, we LOVED her amazing balance of energy and calm. There were a few pieces of our day that broke from tradition (best lady/no maid of honor in the wedding party, both rabbi and minister officiated), and throughout the entire experience Lindsey embraced what made our wedding uniquely us. And even if you put all that aside, here’s what makes ACE worth every penny: • We wanted to hold our reception at The Lace Factory but have the ceremony at the Essex Steam Train, which has personal significance for me. The Steam Train had stopped hosting only ceremonies that year; you had to pay to host the entire event there in order to reserve the space. I don’t know what Lindsey used to bribe the event manager, but we were able to have just our ceremony there as we envisioned for a very reasonable fee. • Their relationships with other vendor partners are solid. As part of full-service planning, Lindsey sent us a short-list of photographers, entertainment, and hair/makeup that was truly a lifesaver for a couple who doesn’t have the time or patience to review literally hundreds of options . We also appreciated that Lindsey included a variety of price ranges in each list... • Our wedding budget was big to us but not in the crazy world of weddings. ACE was so respectful of how much we were willing to spend on each piece, and pulled some serious strings to help keep us where we wanted to be. Our décor budget was particularly tiny, and we were seriously blown away with what they were able to come up with (bonus of working with ACE: They have a treasure closet of awesome décor pieces to work with so you don’t have to buy everything!). What may be even more impressive about their creativity is we didn’t have a clear vision of our style/theme when we started – we knew the feeling/vibe we wanted to create, but ACE was so clutch in bringing that to life in a way that felt like us. • Very early on, Lindsey provided a complete run-down of what had to be done when as we got closer to the big day. It was structured as a month-by-month checklist that gave us such peace of mind by keeping us (and our families) on-track with the to-dos without needing someone to bug us. It was the perfect organization counterpart to their creativity! • Lindsey was a pro at managing concerns and last-minute changes, up to and during the wedding. She was adept at managing and integrating our parents’ POV, tweaking the order of events, and seamlessly transitioned the ceremony indoors when it started raining that morning! When our flowers were delivered, I loved everything except the bridal bouquet. I texted Lindsey right away and it was reworked to perfection before I even noticed someone had picked it up. Her team’s ability to handle every single detail on the day of, especially the unexpected ones, was what let us relax and enjoy every minute of the weekend. There’s so much more we could gush about working with ACE, but we’ll close it with this: After a year of reminiscing, there isn’t a single thing we would have done differently. THANK YOU Linds & Amy for making that happen, we <3 you!!

Lindsey of the ACE team took care of our 200-person rainy wedding last weekend. We cannot say enough good things about her and her team. The entire day I felt completely taken care of so I actually got to relax and just really enjoy our wedding day. Not only that, I got to relax the entire month leading up to our wedding because we had hired her for month of coordination. She had to organize a lot that day in poor weather and she did it seamlessly. Amy Champagne was the best thing we spent our money on for our wedding. Highly recommended!

We absolutely LOVED working with Amy and her team during the entire planning process and day of our wedding- we could not recommend Amy Champagne Events enough! Our ceremony and reception were in two different states (about an hour drive) which added a level of anxiety. Amy and her team (especially Lindsey) had everything prepared and the day couldn’t have gone smoother. Amy did everything ! She worked tirelessly on our behalf with all vendors- she found several options and negotiatied prices. She attended all meetings no matter how far they were from her location in CT. Amy did a fabulous job executing our vision and helped us to stay on budget. The best thing about having Amy Champagne Events plan our wedding was that my mom and I truly got to enjoy the planning process and did not worry about a thing . To quote my dad “Amy was worth her weight in gold” - which says a lot coming from him!

Amy, thanks for making the day so special. You and your team were phenomenal. Your professionalism allowed all of us to focus on enjoying the day and not stressing the details. You are the best!
