 I am SO HAPPY that we found
Amy. She is not only one of the sweetest
people on the planet but she is also so
good at what she does. She created such a
beautiful candy buffet for our wedding.
People continue to talk about it as one of
the highlights of the day! When my hubby
and I were done taking pictures Amy came up
to us with ice water (how did she know we
were DYING of thirst? ha). She also gave me
a few pieces of delicious dark chocolates
(my absolute fave) and made the hubby and I
bags of candy so that we wouldn't miss out
on anything. I cannot say enough wonderful
things about our experience with Amy. She
is so professional and passionate about her
work and she really does just have a gift
when it comes to making a wedding day extra
special. I would recommend her to anyone
and everyone. My hubby and I are
sooooooooooo happy that we met Amy!

Amy is our go to gal when it
comes to almost any larger function we are
throwing. Whether personal, or a corporate
event, she has helped us in throwing
amazing celebrations. Examples of events
she's been a part of for our family include
weddings (of course!), baby showers, and
company parties. When she has been present,
I've been able to actually enjoy and be a
part of the festivities! She is a gem :)

I must say that Amy is
absolutely AMAZING!!! I was debating for a
while on whether I should hire Amy or not
and let me tell you I don't know how I
would have gotten through my wedding in
once piece without her! She took all of the
stress away from my husband and I and made
sure she took care of it all! She helped
make all of my dreams come true! We didn't
have the "traditional" wedding and Amy
really understood that about us. We didn't
want the formal sit down dinner, or the
formal hello to everyone. We are a more
casual couple and we really wanted that to
shine the day of the wedding. If it wasn't
for Amy helping us along to way I don't
think that it would have gone as well as it
did! We still had a lot of elegance and
some traditional stuff but it was also very
casual at the same time! Amy was my right
hand man the entire month before the
wedding! I didn't feel one ounce of stress
but instead I felt relief that everything
was taken care of and I 100% trusted
her!
If you are questioning if you
need to hire a planner for the month or day
of the event I would say make sure to fit
it in your budget! Amy will ensure that you
have the time of your life! Why spend a ton
of money on your wedding and something go
wrong when you can spend a little extra
money and she will make sure it absolutely
perfect and you have no worries what so
ever!
Amy also surprised us with an
AMAZING surprise!!! That is just how
awesome she is, she will make sure you have
one of the best day's of your life!
Amy helped make our dream wedding come true
and I couldn't thank her enough!! No words
can express how much we adore, love and
cherish everything that she has done for
us! Thank you so much Amy!!1 You truly are
the BEST!!!
~ Mrs.
Valerie Munson, Married 11.11.11
She did a fantastic job. She
showed up in my planning process towards
the end. I only hired her for the wedding
day because I didn't think that I had the
money. She was very affordable and not only
coordinated the wedding and helped me in
any way she could but she also created a
beautiful candy buffet that was done in our
colors.
~Mrs
Tiffany Evans, Married 09.24.11
Celebrations by Amy Bacon is
an outstanding company. They were hired to
provide a Candy Buffet. The Buffet they
provided was outstanding. Amy went above
and beyond on her services. When the Buffet
was set up she stayed and assisted my
daughter through the evening. Man, what a
relief she was. So if you need a Candy
Buffet... Hire Amy..... If you want a
wedding coordinator.... Hire Amy.... If you
want Both.... Hire Amy....... She is the
best!

Scott Smith, Father of the Bride, Married

Amy Bacon with Celebrations
by Amy Bacon, was my wedding fairy
godmother! She swooped in and just took
everything off my hands and mind. The
greatest gift I could have received was
just being able to enjoy my wedding without
a million stresses on my shoulders. She was
able to take my ideas and run with them.
She connected with everyone involved with
the wedding and made sure things were
running smooth from my view point so that I
could have fun and not worry about a thing!
I couldn't be more grateful for all that
she did. My wedding would have been nothing
without her or there would have been one
very sleep deprived and delirious bride.
From getting everyone to there marks on
time to applying lip gloss on me as I was
about to walk out to my reception, You did
amazing!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU Amy for
creating an event that our family will
never forget and that I could hold tight to
my heart!
~Mrs.
Grace Morrison Married 09.03.11
VERY responsive to my needs!
She gave me ideas I didn't even know I
needed. The nicest person and sooo
professional. Would (and have) recommend
her to anyone I know that's getting married
or even having a big event. Thanks Amy!
~Mrs.
April Enniss Married 08.26.2011
Yesterday, we threw an
amazing baby shower for my brother's first
kid.... actually the first kid for the next
generation of our family. I usually do all
the hosting and games for parties i throw
but this time - i decided to hire Amy for
the actual event portion and give her all
my instructions. Let me tell you she
carried it out to a perfect T! She did a
fantastic candy buffet, took care of all
the guests, decorated the house and carried
out all the games. It was the first time
that I didn't feel stressed and I didn't
worry the entire time! Amy is awesome and
worth every penny. All the guests loved
her!!!!!
~Mrs.
Eva Ward, baby shower 8.6.11
When I started my wedding
planning I wanted to be the DIY bride all
the way but I also had some very big dreams
of having my wedding reception in my
parent’s backyard. My
family and I quickly realized that some of
it needed assistance.
That’s when I met Amy
Bacon. We hit it off right away; when we
met she was friendly and easy to talk to.
She wasn’t pushy at all.
She even loved the idea of the DIY things I
wanted to do. Amy would listen to my dreams
and make them come true. Amy truly made my
fairy tale wedding come true. I got so
overwhelmed with meeting different vendors
and trust me the things like making the
fans, or tying ribbon on bubbles is way
more fun. When you work with Amy she makes
finding all the perfect vendors easy, she
knows many vendors from every aspect of
your wedding. It’s
important to her that you get along with
everyone. If there is any hesitation in
your voice she will know but the best part
is she knows how to fix it and make you
feel so much better.
The week leading up to your
wedding can be very stressful; I was still
finishing my last week of teaching and
working hard on report cards and cleaning
my classroom. Knowing that Amy was part of
my wedding I wasn’t
stressed at all. She was in communication
all the time. Any little question she was
there. Amy went way above and beyond for me
and let me tell you, with a snake in the
backyard, my brother trying to drink
inappropriately and the police showing up
at my reception. My wedding went off
without a glitch and I can only thank one
person Amy Bacon. Getting a Wedding
Coordinator was the best thing I did and
Amy was great and reasonable. To me she
wasn’t just a wedding
planner; she was part of the wedding party.
I wouldn’t have wanted
anyone else.
So ask yourself, if you want
someone who knows the business,
isn’t out to drain the
bank, has creative ideas, helps you have a
stress free wedding, and works hard. You
want to work with Amy. To me she
wasn’t just a wedding
planner; she was part of the wedding party.
~Mrs.
Katie Porter, Married 6.4.11
5 Stars all the way. Amy
Bacon is my rock-star from our wedding.
First off, I’m a very Type A, highly
organized bride who planned many many
details and as my wedding day got closer. I
was one of the brides who told myself
anything to not ask for help. The best
decision I made started when I realized I
couldn’t be my OWN wedding planner. I
wanted to be a bride that day and not be
worried about anything but being happy. I
needed someone who could really LISTEN to
what I envisioned and planned .. someone
respectful of ours plans, our family, and
our decisions… someone special. Amy
was that someone. Amy was such a blessing.
Since I met her, I was sold. She was
honest, sincere, and I could tell she cared
about me and wanted to help me with such a
big day in my life. She is respectful,
informative, polite, highly organized, and
an amazing communicator. On top of that,
she was so sincere that I really felt
comfortable having her at my wedding. By
the “day of” she was my friend,
my “go to” girl, and my saving
grace when it came to unexpected
situations. Bottom line is that we trusted
her. We hired her as my wedding day-of
coordinator and she went above and beyond
to ensure that my wedding dreams/vision
came through. Everything was perfect. My
fiance was skeptical at first about why we
would need a wedding planner but at the end
of the day he was super thankful she was
there. He was thankful that Amy showed up
at rehearsal picking up all our items for
the Big Day and just seeing the stress come
off his fiance really put his heart at ease
that she’s worth every penny. On our
wedding day, he said "lets ask Amy" or "I'm
glad Amy is helping you baby.” I
really felt at ease knowing that he needed
her as much as I did :). Our families raved
about how personable, helpful, and
hardworking she was throughout the evening
and the next day at brunch. They
complimented at how hard she worked that
day and how helpful she was to the
bride/groom/ and every single guest. The
morning of, we had to switch wedding cars
and it was not decorated but my maid of
honor and called Amy and she was there for
the rescue – no issues, no complaints
.. just a “I’ll take care of
it.” And Boy did she deliver. Not to
mention, Amy helped us at the hotel after
the wedding. She had checked into our suite
for us earlier that day, decorated it,
surprised me with my favorite snack
(cookies and milk), a gift for me and my
new husband, and even waited outside the
door so she could pick up my wedding dress
for preservation and his tux for return.
The next day she was still working,
dropping off my bouquet, my dress, the
tuxes. She’s superwoman for sure.
There are no words to express how important
it is for a bride to not just hire a
planner.. but to HIRE Amy Bacon. I planned
the wedding and when the week of the
wedding came, she was there to take it off
my hands and deliver. If you're a bride and
doesn't want to plan the wedding, EVEN
BETTER. Whatever help you need for the
wedding, she is THE BEST. Now i have gained
a life long friend and I couldn't have
imagined my wedding day without her. I
remember thinking multiple times before the
wedding day and during, "How does a bride
do it without her?!" Don't be one of those
brides :) Trust me and INVEST in
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. Worth every
penny. Worth every celebration.
~Mrs.
Evangeline Sabado, married 5.14.11
My wedding was at the end of
March and I started planning it in
November. First I was convinced that I was
able to pull it off but things kept coming
up and by the end of February I was just
absolutely overwhelmed, frustrated and
convinced that it would be a total
disaster. Fortunately for me my florist
Michelle from Crazy Daisies recommended to
call Amy, which I did. From that moment on
it was all a breeze. Amy helped me by
suggesting vendors and negotiating with
them, she was always available to talk to
and came up with the great candy buffet
which was a hit at the reception. I am so
glad that Amy was there to coordinate
everything on my wedding day. Because of
her I was able to enjoy every moment. I did
not have to worry about anything. Any
problems that came up were fixed before I
even heard about them. It was an amazing
day that my husband and will always
remember. Thanks to Amy my wedding day was
a dream come true.
~Mrs. Lena Sawyer, married 3.27.11
I could go on for days about
how great Amy was at my "daughters"
wedding! She helped everyone that needed
it, there was not a single thing that the
family had to do, she was everywhere all at
once. I do not know how she did it! The
candy buffet was so much fun! Amy made my
daughters most important day so
spectacular! I am so glad that Amy was a
part of it all. She didn't just make the
bride and groom comfortable and happy, but
everyone that came to the wedding came away
feeling like it was their day as well. AMY
is the best!!!! When my biological daughter
gets married (in a few years) Amy is the
person we will be hiring to take care of it
all for us!
~Mrs. Cindy De Champ, Mother of the
Bride, married 3.27.11
Having the perfect wedding
has been a dream of mine for as long as I
can remember. I had so many ideas and so
many small details that I had envisioned, I
knew I would need someone to help me put it
all together. Amy did this for me, and then
some. My only job on my wedding day was to
be the bride. I was relaxed and happy all
day, because Amy was taking care of all of
the hard stuff. She was there for me in so
many ways, I don't know if I could ever
truly express how grateful I am for her
hard work. Even now, my guests comment on
just how seamless the day's events were. I
would highly recommend Amy Bacon to any
bride who wants to enjoy her big day as a
bride should.
~Mrs. Ashley Rahaman, married
3.12.11
I met Amy Bacon at one of the
local bridal shows in the early stages of
planning our wedding and was so impressed
by her energy and demeanor. Once we decided
that, yes, we absolutely needed a planner I
called her immediately. As lead Wedding
Planner for our event, Amy was on top of
things from day one, referred several
fantastic vendors to us, and made sure that
we stayed on track with everything we
needed to do to have the celebration of a
lifetime.
She followed up with me - and
more importantly - with every single one of
my vendors to ensure that every single
detail was managed appropriately. Day of, I
had no stress at all since all of the
details had been managed
appropriately.
I also hired her to do a candy buffet for
our reception. It was a huge hit and ended
up being the perfect wedding favor for our
guests. Everyone just loved it - young and
old and it was a gorgeous decorative
element for the room.
It was so nice to be able to
relax on my wedding and totally enjoy the
day - something I definitely would not have
been able to do without her services. I'd
give her 10 stars if I could.
~Mrs. Robin Garrison, married 3.5.11
If you’re debating
whether or not you need a day-of
coordinator, trust me, you do. And if you
want someone super organized and sweet for
a great price, you need Amy Bacon. She had
wonderful vendor recommendations when I
needed them, and did a great job of keeping
everyone on the same page the week of the
wedding. Amy was totally there for me every
step of the way. When I had a flower crisis
two days before the wedding, Amy was
immediately on the phone and on-line
looking for someone who could help me out.
She also helped my mother pull herself
together before the ceremony, for which I
am extremely grateful. Amy, helped make our
wedding day truly special and EXACTLY the
way we planned. I wish I could give her
more than five stars!
~Mrs. Julie Mead, married 1.16.11
I seriously don’t know
what I would have done without Amy helping
me at my wedding. When I was referred to
her I did not think I needed a wedding
planner. I really wanted to plan my
wedding, and thought I knew how to do it. I
WAS WRONG! I knew what colors I wanted but
I had no idea how much detail would go into
the full picture. It was nice to have
someone to talk to when my family or
fiancé didn't want to hear any more. I
was able to text her and email her at night
or while I was at work. She always
responded quickly and happily. I know she
was busy but she always made time for me
and made me feel like I was the ONLY bride
she was working with. She ran my rehearsal
and allowed me to just be the bride. The
night of my rehearsal she came and picked
up everything at my home so my fiancé
and I, my family and friends didn’t
have to worry about a single thing on the
wedding day. When I arrived at the venue to
put my dress on EVERYTHING was done exactly
as I imagined it and told her I wanted. All
night she took care of us and made us feel
like royalty. Even my photographer told me
that Amy took care of her and her
assistant. If you want to enjoy your
wedding call Amy and book her before
someone else does. I have a lifelong friend
now and I'm so glad I had her by my side
for the planning and to take care of me and
everything else on my wedding day. Thank
you Celebrations By Amy Bacon.
~Mrs. Shannon Dilson, married 12.11.10
Amy Bacon was our wedding
planner in November 2010. She was
AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond
anything that we ever expected in helping
us plan our special day and helping by
being there the day of our wedding.
Investing in her was sooo worth it because
we did not have to deal with any of the
problems on our big day. And after our
wedding we actually found out that she
saved our day from being a disaster. I
would have broke down crying if I didn't
have Amy there to take care of everything.
She made our day sooo special for us and we
will always be grateful to her. We plan on
using Amy's services in the future for
sure!
~Mrs. Danielle Mendoza, married 11.20.11
I don't know what i would
have done with out you coordinating
wedding. You went far and beyond to make my
wedding stress free and wonderful. After my
wedding everyone stated to me that it was
the best wedding they have ever been to. It
ran so smoothly and we will remember
everything that did for me in planning my
perfect day. Thank You So Much.
~Mrs. Sarah O'Brien, married 6.26.11
Amy is awesome! The level of
professionalism and customer service is the
absolute best you can find! From the
beginning to the end she made sure
everything went smoothly and made sure all
the vendors were on the same page. She
wants to make sure your special day is
truly SPECIAL and everything you want it to
be. If you are looking for a wedding
planner look no further than Celebrations
by Amy Bacon!!
~Mrs. Priscilla Martin, married 5.01.11
I came to Amy with tears in
my eyes from all the frustrations of trying
to plan our wedding by ourselves. I myself,
having been certified in as a wedding
coordinator could not possibly do what Amy
was able to come in and do for us. This
woman was amazing from beginning to end. We
even had a wedding crasher that Amy handled
in such a respectful way, that we still
talk about it today! If you want the best,
hire Celebrations by Amy Bacon!
~Mrs. Jean Olson Piersanti, married
10.3.10
I met Amy at my daughter's
March 27th wedding. As the mother of the
Bride, I, along with her father, were
prompted to write this letter.
To say that we were impressed
by her coordinating talent is an
understatement. Amy proved herself to be an
accomplished director and organizer in her
field. She took the biggest and most
complex jobs and handled them with ease in
a professional manner and in a capacity
that pleased every one of the principals
and all the guests, which is no easy feat.
As well, she took the most basic jobs and
did them all with an admirable amount of
elegant style. In addition, Amy's character
and demeanor is kind and friendly (which to
us, counts very much).
My husband and I were amazed
at the detail to which she attended her
position. We watched her quiet and
unobtrusive supervision, all the while
allowing the Bride and Groom to shine as
the stars they should be for their special
day,
Amy is highly competent in
the implementation of her vocation, making
it so easy to recommend her as your
choice.
~Mrs. Jim & Irene Olson, parents of
the bride 10.3.10
Amy is amazing! From the
moment she started helping me, all the way
through the end of my wedding day, I felt
like a weight had been lifted off my
shoulders. She was taking care of things
that I didn't even know needed to be taken
care of. Her ideas for little extra details
are awesome and she always gets back to you
right away (even if you are calling during
a "freak out" moment with some silly little
thing that you can probably figure out
yourself). The week of my wedding felt like
a breeze because there was literally
nothing for me to do because she had taken
care of everything. She maintained all
contact with vendors, fielded questions
from other wedding contacts, facilitated
the entire rehearsal and was at the
reception site for set up before the
on-site contact was even there!
Professional, fun and friendly - she made
the best day of my life look and feel
effortless...
~Mrs. Leah Welch, married 7.24.09
I could not have enjoyed my
wedding as much as I did if it were not for
Amy Bacon. I had to put together a wedding
rather quickly I could not believe how much
money I saved by getting help! Amy
introduced me to professionals that were
wonderful to work with. She was always on
top of things before I even thought of
them. She made my entire family, and
wedding party understand what needed to
done and made sure we were all on the same
page. Her organizational skills and bubbly
personality made her a joy to work with.
She handled every thing on the day of my
wedding that I thought I would have to
stress about. I got to just enjoy every
moment knowing it was all taken care of. I
would, and have recommended her to friends.
Celebrations By Amy Bacon can handle any
and all of your events.

fabulous fun crew.
~AZ Celebrity DJ
Amazing planner with
experience to carry you from the beginning
stages of your wedding to the altar. Amy
and her team really make the experience for
vendors and brides a great experience.
Friendly, fun and always on top of the
newest trends. Make sure to calculate a
planner or even day of coordinator into
your budget. It's a must for every wedding
day.
~Blue Hills Photography
We had the chance to work
with Amy and her team and were extremely
impressed with the ahead of time planning
that was clearly done well as the wedding
was beautiful and full of great details.
But, we were even more impressed at how Amy
and her team handled unforeseen hiccups
that were out of everyone's control and
managed to keep things running smooth so
guests were completely unaware and the
bride's blood pressure didn't have to go up
a single notch! With the level of service
these days in wedding planning, sometimes
the differentiation is in how well they can
think on their feet, improvise, and still
maintain a seriously high level of service.
Clique Photo Station would be happy to
recommend Celebrations by Amy for your
wedding!

~Enlighten Studio
I'm not a bride, but I do own

~Rev. Rick
I recently had an opportunity
to work with Amy and Patrice of
Celebrations by Amy Bacon and I can't speak
enough about how great the experience was.
They were so professional with fantastic
attention to detail. It made my job even
more enjoyable. As a wedding photographer,
we rely on the abilities of the planners to
make sure the day goes as it is supposed
to. Amy and Patrice made sure everything
went off without a hitch. I would highly
recommend Celebrations by Amy Bacon when
you are looking for an event planner. They
are absolutely great!
~SJA Studios
It was such a pleasure
working with Amy Bacon and her team for a
recent wedding at The Clayton! I was very
impressed with how organized and attentive
she is to all aspects of her client's
events. The entire process- from site tours
and meetings throughout day-of
coordination- was seamless and exceeded
expectations. I feel confident in
recommending Celebrations by Amy Bacon to
anyone looking for a wedding planner.

Celebrations by Amy Bacon
rocks. I had the pleasure of working with
her on a wedding this past weekend .She was
on top of every last detail down to getting
Starbucks for the entire bridal party and
myself and the makeup artist as well ! The
bride and her family was pleased with the
service provided by Amy and her staff.The
wedding day ran smoothly and everyone was
relaxed and at ease.A wedding planner
providing excellent service in turn makes
my job that much easier!
~The Grateful Head
Amy is an easy candidate to

it shows at every turn. Get to know
Celebrations by Amy Bacon, her staff are
extremely friendly and know what they are
doing. Planning a wedding comes down to the
details, let Amy and her wonderful staff
help you capture the essence without the
pain.
~Steve Simonis, Universal Disc &
Video Jockeys
With Amy it is all about the
personal details and quality service for
both her clients and fellow wedding
vendors. I could not have been more pleased
with the professionalism and courtesy I
received in the months leading up to the
wedding I worked on with Amy. She is
dedicated, kind and wonderfully
organized.
~Laura Segall Photography
In the midst of adversity,
you somehow keep a cool head and maintain
professionalism. Any bride would be lucky
to have you plan and execute their special
day. If only people could see what I see
behind the scenes...they would gladly pay
you double!
~Sean Michael Wallace
As a photographer I've worked
with wedding planners, and believe me when
I say that Celebrations by Amy *IS THE
BEST* you're going to find! I want every
wedding with her!
Amy fetches an enormous
reputation for a number of positives. I can
only imagine how much more impressive her
services will become over time. Actually I
can't because I see no room for
improvement. I've experienced several
planners that 'float' through the day just
getting it done like another day of work,
but Amy takes your special day to heart and
pours passion into it!
Let me list some bullet
points: Very thorough and immediate
communication before / during / after the
Day, always with a sincere smile no matter
how stressful or busy, eager to do any
idea, does not crack under tremendous
pressure, she wipes any stress away with
her confidence and ability to do it, makes
sure all the other vendors are taken care
of (helping us to perform better for you),
FLEXIBLE, and is excited and grateful to
help! Her kindness and quick sharpness will
set your mind at ease so you can focus on
enjoying the day rather than worrying about
any details or the schedule.
The wedding day we worked on
together was a stressful day, but I give
her 100% credit for making it happen so
awesomely. The weather was not co-operating
and last minute requests were being made. A
threat of rain arrived before the ceremony
and she made the decision to move the
reception indoors. She had less than one
hour to move and reset everything, while
juggling everything else. For this occasion
she brought her entire staff. Everyone was
easy to find the entire day, came to me
before I asked for anything, were present
at all times, and we all communicated and
worked with the schedule as it
flowed.

Facebook to see all the other thrilled
compliments she's getting and previews of
the work she does.

Amy and her team at
Celebrations by Amy Bacon are AMAZING to
work with! Amy is not only very organized,
detail oriented, and professional, but she
strives to make the client's wedding go as
smoothly as possible. Not only does she
take care of the clients' need, but she
also helped take care of us by making sure
we had what we needed and even providing us
with water on a hot day! She is very vendor
friendly and makes it so easy to work
together as a team. Amy provides a service
that every bride should highly consider.
This way the bride & groom and their
families can relax and enjoy the day
instead of stressing or worrying. Amy is
worth every penny!

We have known Amy Bacon for a
few years since moving out to Arizona in
2007. Over this past weekend, we got the
opportunity to work with her, Gale and
Patrice at a wedding we did at the Westin
in downtown Phoenix. She was a pleasure and
I was amazed at how when things were thrown
in her path, how cool, calm and collected
she seemed and how the wedding never went
off track time wise or otherwise. She even
emailed us several days prior to ask us
what our preferred drink of choice was
(water, soda or iced tea)! Never in 20
years in the business in NY or AZ, did
someone ever care what our concerns as a
vendor were. It was sheer pleasure and if
you are looking for a wedding coordinator
to keep things organized, flowing and above
all else, pleasant and flowing,
Celebrations by Amy Bacon is the real
deal!
~Photography by Verdi
Amy and her team are amazing.

of absolutely everything for their

~Mike Maez Photography
Amy and her team are
FANTASTIC to work with! They did an amazing
job keeping things flowing and organized on
a very busy wedding day. They even made an
extra effort to make sure all of the other
vendors were well treated and extremely
well cared for. Brides, you will not regret
choosing Amy to manage your day so you can
sit back, relax and soak in the moments
while she makes sure everything is in
order. AND your other vendors will thank
you too for hiring such a great team
player!
~Ryan & Denise Photography
I've known about Amy from
Celebrations By Amy Bacon for a while and
have heard about how she really loves what
she does and how her clients love her. I
got to witness that last week as we had the
chance to work together. She was easy to
work with, she made sure I had everything I
needed, and she work well with all the
vendors as a team player to ensure a smooth
flowing wedding. Amy builds a great
connection with her clients, and vendors
which is very important for a stress free
wedding. I hope to work with her again
soon.
~PME DJ Service

them have only nice things to say about
them. They do great work and you'll be very
satisfied.
~Bamboo Bakery
Awesome planner. We had the
pleasure or working with her for a wedding
last May. Everything went so smoothly and I
think her planning was an integral part of
the big day! As a florist I appreciate
having a "point person" who helps us
complete our job, helping us be where we
need to be and when, taking care of details
such as delivery times and set up
locations, and when we're able to more
effectively do our job our clients are
happy!
~Butterfly Petals
Amy is wonderful to work
with, and our couple and their whole family
just adored her! She did a fabulous job
keeping the day running smoothly, and made
my day easier as well!
~Megan Anderson of Drew & Megan

Everything Amy Bacon and her
team does is amazing! Her clients are
always happy and I can tell you she will
always go the extra mile to make sure you
get EVERYTHING you want and more!
Celebrations by Amy Bacon, can also provide
the most beautiful candy buffet's to your
special day, which is a plus, as most of
the time you would have to pay a second
company to come out and do this for you. I
recommend Amy to many of my brides. Call
her today for a consultation. You will be
so glad you did!
~Jennifer Colvin Owner of Ever After
Florals
I worked with Amy at a recent
wedding and her service was amazing! She
kept the bride and grooms needs in mind at
all times. At this wedding she was doing a
candy buffet and it was impeccable. She
manned the buffet the entire time making
sure that everything was just right and
helping people as they came up to get
candy. It was clear through our
conversations that we both see the couples
happiness as our main driving force for
being in the wedding business. Amy was very
easy to get along with and helpful to me
which is nice since many vendors will just
stick to what they do and not look for
things to help with to make the day go
smoother. I'd recommend any of Amy's
services to anyone getting married.
~David Hoyt Owner of EZ/AZ DJ Services
Amy Bacon is a true pro! I
have worked a couple of wedding with her

March 27th for Lena and Jonathan's wedding.
It was such a pleasure to work with you
Amy, you made our job incredibly easy. For
working out of a venue you had never been
before as well as being hired 1 month
before the wedding, you assisted as if it
was your 100th visit. You were on top of
everything and all was taken care of with
ease. If you are a bride who is researching
a wedding planner, do yourself a tremendous
favor and hire her. She is professional and
dedicated who will represent you with
class. We look forward to working with Amy
again.

way to ensure that your wedding is
everything that you have dreamed it would
be even when you were a child. She takes
all of your fabulous ideas and makes them
become a reality. Amy and her team are
worth their weight in gold, in my opinion.
Every wedding I have done with her has gone
off without a glitch. She is always
prepared for the unexpected and then if
something does happen, her way of taking
charge and fixing the situation are a rare
find. She truly treats every wedding as if
it were her own wedding day and then makes
it what you have always envisioned as a
bride! Allow Amy to assist you with your
wedding and I can promise you an amazing
experience from start to finish! I love

Attention to detail, energy
and passion. You always know someone is
going to do a great job when they are
passionate about the job they do. If you
want someone to take the stress out of your
day then you need to hire Amy. I worked
with her on a wedding where she not only
successfully re-routed the entire guest
list due to construction but also had a
nail file handy for the bridesmaid who
needed a quickie mani. Trust me, you will
never be have to be a bridezilla if Amy is
in your corner!
~Makeup By Jen B.
Amy is the quintessential

If you are reading this
review, look no further.
Celebrations by Amy Bacon is
not only professional, but also
incredibly dedicated to their
clients! Although you are just
one client, you feel as though
you are the only client. My
wedding was a small intimate
barn wedding. I even questioned
hiring a wedding planner, but
I'm so thankful I did. The time
that is poured into planning a
wedding is immense, and
locating reputable vendors only
adds to the stress of planning
a wedding. It was very evident
that Amy and her team regarded
our wedding as a high priority.
Not only do we feel incredibly
fortunate to have been graced
with the wedding planning
expertise and support of Amy
and her whole team, but we
became like family through the
process. We cannot thank
Celebrations by Amy Bacon
enough - thanks to them, our
wedding will always be
memorable.

Amy
goes out of her way to make
sure you have everything you
need to make your wedding day
perfect. She is very caring and
intuitive and knows the
business inside and out. We
wouldn't have been able to do
this without her. I would
recommend using her for the
entire planning process not
just the day of or week of,
etc. We needed her throughout
the planning process. She is a
irreplaceable resource.

Celebrations by Amy Bacon
is not only professional, but
also incredibly dedicated to
their clients! Although you are
just one client, you feel as
though you are the only client.
The time that is poured into
planning a wedding is immense,
and locating reputable vendors
only adds to the stress of
wedding planning. My husband and
I discovered this not long after
venturing into wedding planning
on our own. Prior to hiring
Celebrations by Amy Bacon, we had
hired all of our wedding vendors.
Had we known that we would
experience the challenges we did,
we would have hired Celebrations
by Amy Bacon from the very
beginning! The lack of
responsiveness and delayed
contracts from two of our most
vital vendors is what led us to
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. When
we hired Amy and her team, our
wedding was just 4 months away,
yet we were still awaiting a
contract from 2 of our most vital
vendors. Knowing that we would
not be able to secure alternative
vendors in time for our wedding,
panic had set in. But, Amy
assured us that all pending
matters would immediately be
tended to. From the very
beginning, my husband and I had
the utmost confidence in
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. It was
very evident that Amy and her
team regarded our wedding as a
high priority. As promised, our
pending contracts were soon
secured (thank you to Amy’s
persistence), which then allowed
Amy to begin the process of
establishing our wedding day
timeline. Although, Amy
experienced a lack of
responsiveness from a few of our
vendors, she persevered and was
of course successful in
finalizing a detailed, thorough
timeline! Thanks to the
determination and hard work put
forth by both Amy and Liz, the
execution of our wedding was
seamless! Not only do we feel
incredibly fortunate to have been
graced with the wedding planning
expertise and support of Amy and
Liz, we also feel blessed to now
have them in our lives! We cannot
thank Celebrations by Amy Bacon
enough -- thanks to them, our
wedding far exceeded our
expectations!
~Mrs. K.S.,
Married 10.15.16
Amy
Bacon was literally the best
decision we could have made for
our wedding. We were looking to
have a small intimate elopement
style wedding. We are from
Pennsylvania and looking to get
married across the country at the
Grand Canyon in Arizona. We
immediately knew the first thing
we needed to do was find a
wedding planner to help us. After
reading all the amazing reviews
about CBAB and speaking with her
personally over the phone we knew
instantly that she and her team
were the wedding planners for us.
We lived in a completely
different state and were unable
to be present for many meetings
brides and grooms normally
attend, including the basic
meeting of your wedding planner.
Amy stepped up in a huge way by
working with us diligently over
the phone and through email. She
gathered all the details of what
we needed for our wedding and
went above and beyond to make
sure our dream became a reality.
She connected us with some
amazing vendors that were equally
as amazing to work with as Amy
was. I was a bride who lived in a
different state, who had no idea
what her ceremony space looked
like prior to walking down the
aisle, Had no idea what her cake
looked like or tasted like prior
to the cutting of the cake, a
bride who had no idea what her
hair & make up would look
like until it was done the day of
the wedding. A bride who met her
wedding planners, officiant, and
photographer the week before her
wedding for the first time. I am
a bride who can honestly say that
despite all of that my wedding
was absolutely perfect, a
complete dream come true. And my
wedding had absolutely zero
issues and turned out exactly how
we had dreamed it would despite
all the hurdles and difficulty we
could of had considering we lived
so far away. Our wedding
literally would not have been
possible if it wasn't for Amy
from Celebrations by Amy Bacon.
Besides marrying my best friend,
choosing Amy to be our wedding
planner was one of the best
decisions we could have ever
made.
~ Mrs. G.H.,
Married 6.18.16
Amy
was tremendous to work with. We
live on the opposite side of the
US and wanted a wedding at the
Grand canyon. She accepted the
challenge and surpassed all
expectations. Because we live so
far away all communications were
through email and phone
correspondence. Amy took the time
to gather all aspects of the
dream wedding we wanted in minute
detail and made that dream a
reality. We had no idea what any
part of the wedding was going to
look like. The first time seeing
the wedding location was the day
of the wedding; the first cake
tasting was done with my new
bride by my side. Amy and her
team covered everything down to
smallest detail and it was all
done from 3000 miles apart.
Picking Celebrations by Amy was
the absolute best decision we
could have made to make our
perfect day just that, perfect.
~ Mr. D.H.,
Married 6.18.16
Amy
Bacon was an amazing part of our
special day! She intercepted many
situations that could have been a
disasterous, and she ensured that
we had nothing to worry about on
our wedding day. She even brought
little fans to keep us cool
during pictures. I would highly
recommend Celebrations by Amy
Bacon to all of my friends!
~ Mrs. A.S.,
Married 5.14.16
It
was good to have Amy there. We
were able to enjoy our day
instead of chasing people down
for various things that needed to
be done. The wedding day goes by
so fast. It was extremely helpful
to have Amy chasing down the
groomsmen, bridesmaids and family
for pictures and getting us lined
up for the grand entrance. When
the food arrived, the caterer
wanted to pull me away from
pictures and Amy just handled the
situation. Big thanks to her and
what she does!
~ Mr. S.S.,
Married 5.14.16
Amy
Bacon and team (Liz and Demetria)
were absolutely amazing. If your
are in search of a fantastic
wedding planner/coordinator, look
no further! This is the best team
in Phoenix. We planned our
wedding out-of-state (Iowa) and
did not arrive in Phoenix until
two days before the event.
Without the Celebrations by Amy
Bacon team, we would not have
been able to pull it off. Our
wedding was absolutely perfect.
My husband and I were able to
relax on the big day. Liz and
Demetria ensured that everything
ran smoothly all day. I cannot
thank them enough for helping us
have the wedding day of our
dreams. Really, do not even look
around, this is the most
professional, fun, supportive,
and creative team you will find
in the area. You will be in good
hands.
~ Mrs. K.L.,
Married 4.16.16
My
bride and I had a destination
wedding in Phoenix that we
planned almost entirely in Iowa.
We had done a lot of the upfront
work ourselves (finding caterers,
arranging venues, etc.) and we
were able to get about 90% of the
way there all on our own. As it
got closer to crunch-time
however, we began to realize that
even though we had arranged most
of the items, we didn't have a
great plan for how to ensure
everything got executed on the
day. With a split ceremony and
reception, we had two venues and
a few vendors to juggle, each of
which required direction to
properly execute our vision. This
is where Celebrations by Amy
entered the picture and
simplified our lives greatly. For
a nominal fee (relative to what
other groups were charging), Amy
Bacon's team took our vision and
their expertise to create a
seamless wedding experience for
my bride and I. To list just a
few things that the Celebrations
by Amy Bacon team did for us: 1)
Joined us on our first site
visits along with our decorator
to become acquainted with our
vision. 2) Worked with our
vendors and decorator to create a
singular vision of how the day
should go 3) Provided excellent
day-of support both logistically
and emotionally (A big thank you
to Liz and Demetria) 4)
Communicated extremely promptly
and clearly about what was
happening at each junction. On
top of these things, the
Celebrations by Amy Bacon team
were kind, open, and very
receptive to what we wanted as a
couple. At no point did they try
to upsell us on anything, but
rather, they incorporated our
ideas and their expertise to
create what we wanted at an
affordable price. As someone that
never thought they would need a
wedding planner or a day-of
coordinator, I cannot relay
enough how much easier the
wedding day experience was after
we hired on Amy's crew. My bride
and I could truly relax knowing
that everything was in such great
hands. Please contact Amy and her
team and ask what they can do for
you!
~ Mr. B.L.,

Amy
was fabulous! She was easy to
work with, knowledgeable and
professional. Her attention to
detail was amazing. I highly
recommend her.
~ Mrs. L.N.,
Mother of the Bride
3.12.16
I
cannot say enough about how Amy
saved us! If she were running for
president, she'd have my vote.
Being the mother of the bride, I
was under extreme pressure to
pull off the perfect wedding,
though working full time AND not
residing in the city where the
wedding was to take place. When
my daughter suggested a wedding
planner, I was interested but the
FOB balked, saying it wasn't a
big deal to plan a wedding. I am
so glad I stood my ground. Amy
gave us the "dream wedding" we
didn't think was possible. She is
the epitome of professionalism
and perfection. She was our
"Guardian Angel", always at our
side in time of need, giving us
comfort and removing any stress
we may have developed. The
various vendors she recommended
were amazing as well, and she
made sure there were no glitches
or bumps along the way. If any
issues arose, she handled them.
If we had any questions or
concerns, we were able to reach
her at any time, making me wonder
when she ever has time to sleep!
I could write a book about
Amazing Amy, though time and
space restrict me (luckily for
you). We were told by multiple
guests that it was the most
beautiful and enjoyable wedding
they had ever attended. The
ultimate accolades came from the
Groom as well as Father of the
Bride, the ones who thought it
unnecessary to hire a planner.
They apologized to Amy and told
her they were so thankful for the
huge undertaking and end result.
It could not have been a more
perfect wedding, even in a Fairy
Tale!
~ Mrs. P.G.,
Mother of the Bride

Every
Bride seems to remember
"something" going wrong at their
wedding, no matter how large or
small the issue. I can honestly
say that my wedding was
absolutely perfect and I could
not have done it without Amy and
her fabulous team. From the
beginning, I knew that I wanted a
wedding planner and when I met
Amy, we just clicked. After our
initial conversation on the
phone, I felt as if we had known
each other for years. My fiance
was not "on the bandwagon" about
getting a planner, but this was
an investment I decided was very
important and that was the best
decision ever. Amy was so
helpful, attentive, generous, and
knowledgeable throughout the
entire process, that we were able
to have the wedding of our
dreams. She was very supportive
and understanding of all of the
many details that were important
to me and always available if I
ever needed to get in touch with
her (sometimes at any hour).
Every guest I talked to at the
reception complemented me on what
a great job her and her team did
and that it was "the best wedding
they have ever been to". Of
course I am bias, but it truly
was. The icing on the cake was
when my "husband" went over to
thank her and admit that he may
have misjudged the value of a
great wedding planner. I could
not have asked for anything more
and will always remember it as
the best day of my life. Thank
you Amy!
~ Mrs. K.S,
Married 2.27.16
My
Guru Amy was amazing, she really
helped me get the perfect vendors
for my special day, and she
worked so hard in making sure
everything was perfect! The
attentiveness to details were
amazing. Things I never even
thought about! I loved working
with her!
~ Mrs. J.H.,
Married 2.6.16
I
cannot say enough about the
entire Celebrations by Amy Bacon
team. They make every person at
the wedding (bride, groom,
family, bridal party, guest,
vendor...) feel like the day
wouldn't be the same without them
there and ensure that everyone is
taken care of. There were quite a
few moving parts to our wedding
and my family were able to enjoy
the day as guests instead of
having to work. Gale and Christy
took care of every detail before
we even thought about what needed
to be done. As we said our
goodbyes at the end of the
reception, I made sure Gale was
one of my last hugs so I could
tell her how much of blessing she
was to us on such a memorable
day. My husband and I agree that
our wedding was a dream, and it
was possible because of CBAB. I
consider Amy and Gale not only
friends but family, and I
encourage every single bride and
groom to invest in your happiness
for not only your wedding day but
every day following -- because
let's face it, if something goes
wrong at a wedding it's talked
about for years to come; that
won't happen if you hire these
talented ladies. Celebrations by
Amy Bacon will make your wedding
truly YOUR DAY!
~ Mrs. P.K.,

Amy
was absolutely amazing and a
dream to work with. We hired her
to do the candy bar for our
wedding and it was everything we
had hoped for and more. Our
guests are still talking about
how awesome it was. Amy also went
way above and beyond the call of
duty on our wedding day. She
attached boutonnieres, handed out
mints, made sure I always had
water (and/or champagne) ;), and
fluffed my dress right before I
walked down the aisle. Amy is
wonderful to work with and I
would highly recommend her!

If
you are in limbo about needing a
planner for your wedding, I will
start out by saying that I was
the bride who thought I could
plan our entire wedding on my
own, while working 60+ hours a
week and having a fiance who was
gone fighting forest fires for 6
months out of the year. It only
took me about 2 months to prove
myself VERY wrong. My dad (the
cheapest person on the face of
the earth) was the one who
suggested we hire a planner when
he saw my stress level through
the roof. Being on a tight
budget, we met with a couple
planners who were new to AZ or
new to the business because their
cost was so low. After a few of
those meetings, I felt like I'd
be better off doing it myself.
Then a friend of mine suggested
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. We set
up a meeting with Amy and knew
before the meeting was over that
we had to do whatever we could to
join the CBAB family! The venue
we had originally chosen required
us to bring all of our own
vendors so the impressive,
professional group of "friendors"
that CBAB has built over the
years were nothing short of
amazing. During our planning
process, almost everything that
could have gone wrong, went
wrong. The worst of which was our
venue closing 8 weeks before our
wedding date. Locking down
another industrial style building
for our date on such short notice
was not an easy task. Gale kept
our vision for our day in her
mind when contacting new venues
and found the perfect location.
Not only did Gale put my emotions
at ease through everything, but
she was so proactive that her and
the CBAB team created a wedding
that was far beyond any
expectations that we had. The day
of our wedding was a dream come
true and we owe it to Gale and
the whole CBAB team. Whether
you're thinking of hiring someone
for the day of coordinating or to
help through the entire process,
you WILL NOT go wrong with
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. We
will never have enough amazing
things to say about this group of
women and will never stop
recommending them!!
~ Mrs. M.B.,
Married 11.14.15
Amy
was simply fantastic! We hired
her about 4 months before our
wedding date. When we first met
she was well organized, friendly,
and very interested in making
sure that we got the results that
we wanted. She had an extensive
list of vendors that she had
worked with before, but was very
open to working with whomever we
might chose. Throughout the next
4 months, Amy was amazing. She
was readily available (unless she
had proactively told us that she
would not be), full of
suggestions and recommendations,
and just down right helpful.
Weddings can be stressful, but
she really did help take a lot of
the stress out of it. When the
day of our wedding arrived, Amy
arrived very early and started
kicking everything into gear. She
had an wonderful attention to
detail coupled with a easy-going,
friendly manner. She knew when to
be directive and when to be
collaborative. In the end, we
were 100% satisfied and would
highly recommend Amy to anyone
looking to have a great, easy
event planning experience.
~Mr. C.T.,
Married 11.7.15
We
couldn't have done it without
Amy! This was my daughters
wedding, and she had just moved
to Arizona. Not knowing anyone or
anything about wedding planning
and venues in the area we knew we
needed someone to guide us and
that Amy did! She walked us
through every step of the
planning process and offered many
options for vendors, Her contacts
were great, all first class and
very responsive! My daughter was
very scattered at the end just
before the wedding with out of
town business trips conflicting
with wedding detail deadlines,
Amy took it all in stride and
walked her through each step
pressing when a decision had to
be made and holding off if we
could wait a bit. I am so
thankful for her professionalism
and attention to detail the
wedding was beautiful, better
than I even dreamed. We have
gotten so many compliments on how
well put together everything was.
Hats off to Amy and her team!

If
you are planning your wedding,
but don't know where to start,
you NEED to hire Celebrations by
Amy Bacon. She and her team are
amazing! Amy helped me every step
of the way, with everything I
asked and everything I didn't
even think of. She is kind,
intelligent, and has a true
passion for wedding planning.
With her passion she makes your
dream wedding come alive! I
personally couldn't have asked
for a better planner, the first
day I met her I knew she was the
one that I could trust with the
most important day thus far in my
life! I have only known Amy for a
year, but from what I know she is
perfect for anyone that wants to
have a wedding that will be
memorable not only for you and
your new HUBBY, but your guests
as well. We both didn't stop
getting compliments all night
about how perfect the wedding
was! I love Amy, and I know that
you will too!!!
~Mrs. L.B.,
Married 10.31.15
You
spend your entire life wondering
if you're going to have the
perfect wedding. We no longer
have to worry about that. From
the very beginning Amy and her
team were incredible. I knew when
I received the detailed potential
customer questionnaire she was my
planning soulmate. We were
completely won over when she
noticed a picture I had planted
on my pinterest of a wedding cake
from one of her prior weddings.
So many vendors ask for the
information but never check it;
when she brought it up in our
first meeting I knew she actually
LOOKED at it. Having someone to
keep us on the right track, who
could help us ask the right
questions was invaluable. Without
them, our wedding never would
have been what it turned out to
be. She helped us find the most
amazing venue that was perfect
for our personalities, needs and
budget, something that seemed
impossible at the time we signed
our contract with all of the
valley’s
options. All of the vendors
suggested were incredible and
completely delivered the best on
the wedding day. We cannot even
begin to describe her work on our
wedding day. She was able to
handle all questions and we were
not pestered by vendors or guests
about anything on our wedding
day. Our guests were amazed by
everything, how every little
detail was covered and how smooth
everything went. Any issues, such
as additional guests arriving,
was taken care of quickly and
unnoticeable. There was even a
chance of rain and her team had
everything covered. We are so
independent that at first we
didn’t think
we needed a wedding planner, but
we are so glad we joined the
Celebrations by Amy Bacon family.
Our wedding day was more than we
could have ever dreamed possible
and a day that was probably the
most relaxing day of the year so
far. Our guests will be talking
about it for years to come and we
will remember it forever.
~Mrs. A.A.,
Married 10.21.15
We
started our engagement ambitious.
We could do this. We're
organized, we're energetic, we
know what we're doing. What would
a wedding planner even benefit
us? We looked at 20 venues, high
and low, near and far. We spoke
with overpriced vendors, we spoke
with under qualified vendors. We
saw it all, these are our options
for better or for worse, at least
that's what we thought. About 4
months into our 18 month
engagement we opted to start
talking to wedding planners. I
believe we spoke to Amy first,
and we clicked so quickly that we
were sure all wedding planners
were this way and she wasn't so
special. After meeting with two
others it became immediately
evident that Amy and her team
were the cream of the crop. They
opened the door to hand picked
trusted vendors, trusted venues,
and finally confidence in our
decisions.
On
the day of our wedding I was
truly able to spend every
possible minute drinking and
having fun with my guests. If
anyone had any questions I was
able to answer with my new
favorite sentence "Ask Amy". I
started doing a shot for every
time I was able to say it. I
can't imagine what she went
through to bring to life every
one of our ideas with zero help
from the bride or myself the day
of, but I know now that we could
not have done it without her. As
confident and capable as we are,
we would have been lost without
the guidance and expertise that
they brought to our day. You
spend your entire life wondering
if your wedding day is going to
be perfect, and thanks to them it
was.
~Mr. S.A.,
Married 10.21.15
Hiring Amy Bacon was the
best decision I made for my
wedding! Amy was with me every
step of the way and went above
and beyond to make sure that our
wedding reality matched and
exceeded our wedding dreams. She
is extremely organized,
professional, and personable. My
husband and I truly feel like Amy
cares about us beyond just being
clients. Amy attended every
meeting where she thought I could
use her expertise, even if it
wasn't specifically in the
contract. She returned calls,
emails and texts promptly and
with complete information. Amy
upheld extremely high standards
with our vendors and fought for
us if she thought something
wasn't ideal. That certainly
didn't occur often though, as we
hired every one of our vendors
through Amy's recommendation and
we were thrilled with every
single one of them. The day of
the wedding, Amy kept things
running smoothly and kept all
pressure or questions off the
bride and groom. She organized
everything from getting gifts and
personal items back to our suite,
to helping the groom order a
stunning floral bouquet to
surprise me when I was getting
ready. Amy and every member of
her staff were delightful to work
with and made our wedding day fun
and easy. It was like being
surrounded by friends all day,
but friends that took care of
your every need before you know
you need them. I cannot say
enough great things about
Celebrations By Amy Bacon and Amy
personally. My wedding exceeded
my dreams and I will be eternally
grateful to Amy and everyone on
her staff and the vendors she
recommended for making my wedding
perfect.
~Mrs. A.H.,
Married 10.3.15
What
can not be said about Amy and her
amazing team! I am so thankful of
the day my now wife came home and
told me about her first phone
conversation with Amy. I could
hear the relief in her voice, we
had been trying to plan our
wedding from a different city,
and after many hours of our own
trying to find a venue/food we
quickly realized how difficult
and frustrating this was going to
be on our own. Amy provided us
with amazing recommendations for
venue, catering, Dj, officiant,
cake, photographer, men's formal
wear, chocolate covered
strawberries and additional
planning items. She paired us
perfectly with each and every one
of them, they all were exactly
what we were looking for. Amy and
her team went above and beyond to
make our special day a lasting
memory. She prepared timelines
that handled and coordinated
every aspect of our rehearsal and
wedding day, and was always 3
steps ahead of the game. I can
not thank her and her team enough
for everything they have done for
us, and and happy to know that we
have made new lifetime friends.
If you are looking for someone
who will listen to what you are
looking for, extremely flexible
with your budget, and has amazing
connections and vendors at the
tips of her fingers then
Celebrations by Amy Bacon is
right for you.
~Mr. M.G.,
Married 9.12.15
Amy
Bacon is beyond amazing. I cannot
recommend her enough. When I
first contacted Celebrations by
Amy Bacon, I was leaning toward
hiring them for day-of
coordination. From the first time
Amy replied to one of my emails,
I could tell that they were on a
wholly different level of
professionalism than other
vendors and planners I had been
contacting. We arranged a phone
meeting (I don't live in the
Phoenix area), and by the time I
hung up the phone, I was 100%
sold on having Amy herself help
us with ALL of our planning! The
first day I met Amy in person, it
was to attend a catering tasting
at the venue my (now) husband and
I had already selected. Well,
thank goodness for Amy, because
that catering tasting appointment
was a disaster and I left there
knowing that we no longer had our
venue picked out. Amy asked if I
had a little extra time, and took
me to another venue that I fell
in love with instantly! What
could have been a disappointing
and frustrating day turned into
something very exciting, because
we loved this venue so much more.
What's also incredible is how Amy
was able to pinpoint exactly what
we were looking for after just a
couple conversations. The entire
planning process was just as
charmed as this first meeting.
Amy paired us perfectly with our
venue, photographer, cake bakery,
DJ, officiant, my makeup artist,
men's formal wear, videographer,
and just about everyone that
ended up being involved in our
wedding. On the day of our
wedding, Amy kept everything
running smoothly, and if there
were any problems, we sure don't
know about them! Everything was
beautiful and perfect and more
amazing than we could have
imagined. We didn't have to worry
about anything - literally, not
one thing, so we could just enjoy
the day and have the time of our
lives! Amy was such a joy to work
with, and I will forever be
grateful for everything she did
for us. We are so lucky to have
found her and will count her as a
wonderful friend, always.
~Mrs. J.G.,
Married 9.12.15
Amy
and her team did an excellent job
at our wedding. We did the
package that included 30 days
prior and day of planning. The
day of the wedding, everything
went very smoothly thanks to Amy
and her team. Amy's team paid
attention to detail in the set up
of the various spaces and were
always on time and prepared,
keeping us right on schedule.
They also provided extra
services, such as providing cold
bottled water and fans while we
were taking pictures and bathroom
baskets with everything guests
could need, which really show
they go the extra mile. We would
definitely recommend Amy and her
team!
~Mrs. A.G.,
Married 5.16.15
Originally we were looking
for a company that could just
help us with decor ideas and some
set-up for the day of. We had an
all inclusive package with our
venue that included a wedding
coordinator, but they would not
set up everything we needed such
as place cards. Amy was the only
one I found that would customize
her services for exactly what we
needed and at a reasonable price
since we were having a 50 person
wedding. Not only did Amy and our
assigned contact Gale give us
great ideas for decor but they
went above and beyond on the day
of the wedding. When we thought
we would only have Gale there for
the day, Amy and another staff
member came to make sure we had
enough help and so that one of
them could be attending to us and
anything we needed. Everyone at
the wedding was commenting on how
amazing they were and I am
definitely recommending them to
anyone.
~Mrs. K.B.,
Married 5.2.15
Amy
Bacon and Patrice Klaum (with
Celebrations by Amy Bacon) are
absolutely amazing! They are
organized, patient, caring, kind
and above all, amazing wedding
planners. I really believe hiring
them was the reason my wife and I
were able to relax and enjoy not
only our wedding, but the whole
planning process. They
thoughtfully listened to all of
our ideas and enthusiastically
helped us implement them,
creating our dream wedding!! They
are impeccably organized and kept
us on schedule. We never had to
worry that something was
overlooked because they were on
it. We got to know Patrice so
well during the planning and that
made the day of our wedding even
more special! We really trusted
Celebrations by Amy Bacon and
that allowed us to really be
present and enjoy the day. The
day of our wedding they kept us
calm and handled unanticipated
hiccups!!! Bottom line, Patrice
and Amy are not only industry
experts but also really great
people! You would be lucky to
have them!!
~Mrs. G.B.,
Married 4.4.15
As I
am 44 and I just got married for
the first time you can probably
assume I didn't know much about
wedding planning or even why a
wedding planner would be
important. Boy did I find out!!
Whether your wedding is a modest
ceremony or a big-budget blow-out
the wedding planners main job is
to sweat the small stuff so you
and your future spouse don't have
to. And WOW did Celebrations by
Amy Bacon and Patrice Klaum do
that for us!! We were so lucky to
have their experience to guide us
through! They helped us to iron
out EVERY SINGLE detail before we
walked down the aisle, from
overall theme of the wedding to
getting our marriage license.
They truly made our big day
happen just how we imagined it!
They have contacts with ALL of
the best vendors in Phoenix and
great relationships with them
all. In fact, they refer to them
as their friendors! And they ALL
became great friends through the
process!! If the planning itself
wasn't enough, they totally hid
us from any and all hiccups that
happened that day. To us it was a
seamless and magical day and
evening thanks to their
extraordinary expertise of quick
thinking and problem solving!!!
Love Love love these ladies and
this company! WE would highly
recommend them to everyone!
TRUST!!

AMAZING From my very first
conversation with Amy, I knew
that I could put all my trust in
her to deliver a perfect day. And
she did not disappoint. I'm an
out-of-state bride, and I knew
that in order to achieve the
wedding that my husband and I
wanted, we were going to need
help. The planning process should
be a fun time, and I didn't want
to feel so stressed with it all
that I couldn't enjoy it. Amy is
a true professional and led us
towards the right vendors, gave
meaningful feedback and input
regarding every aspect (from
contacts and quotes and keeping
us mindful of our budget, to
communicating with some
unresponsive vendors). When I was
stressing over my husband
dragging his feet about getting
his groomsmen gifts (I'm talking,
we were 3 weeks out!) Amy gently
guided him in the right direction
and he got it done! The week of
our wedding I had one last flower
appointment to attend to approve
the centerpieces, etc and since
this appointment was last minute
(due to us being out of town)
unfortunately Amy was tied up
with other appointments a
couldn't attend with us. Which
was completely understandable,
and (in my mind) wasn't necessary
that she be there - well, I was
wrong! She cancelled a personal
matter, and surprised us at he
flower shop! And I'm so glad she
did, because she was able to
figure out some last minute
tweaks with our florist that
really made a big impact on our
big day. She even got our friend/
officiant the Fiji water he
specially requested! I can easily
say that now I consider Amy more
of a friend than only our wedding
planner. She went above and
beyond for us and really made our
special day so much more than we
could have imagined. Also - we
were approached by every member
of our wedding party and
complimented on finding such an
effective planner. She ensured
that each of them were taken care
of and were where they were
supposed to be (photos,
announcement, etc.) THANK YOU AMY
BACON <3
~Mrs. S.C.,

My
wife knew right away that she
wanted a wedding planner as we
were planning our wedding in AZ
from Washington, DC. When she
found Amy Bacon, she was
overjoyed to know that the
planning and execution was in
such good hands. Every part of
the planning process was made
easier for us by Amy being there,
and keeping us on a schedule,
while also looking out for our
best interests. The wedding day,
rehearsal, etc. was beautiful -
exactly as my wife and i had
discussed. We were so happy to
have worked with her and her
great team - we are happy to
recommend Celebrations by Amy
Bacon to anyone looking to plan a
spectacular event.
~Mr. C.C.,
Married 4.3.15
I
wasn't sure about having a
wedding planner but, believe me,
Amy earned every penny. She was
so helpful all the way through
the planning with all her
recommendations. We felt more
like friends than clients. The
week of the wedding she pulled
everything together and kept us
all on target. She had a timeline
for everyone. When the seating
chart broke and when the
bridesmaids dress came apart, Amy
and her team handled it without a
hiccup. And when the wedding
tension was high, she handled the
people without flinching. She
even remembered that due to
health reasons I couldn't have
alcohol and had sparkling apple
juice brought to me. We had so
many people tell us that it was
hands down the best wedding they
had ever attended. She is a gem.
~Mrs. S.H.,

At
first, I'll admit, I didn't think
it was necessary to get a wedding
planner. I'd seen plenty of
weddings, and thought to myself,
sure it'll be stressful at times,
but a wedding planner is a little
excessive... And then I realized
just how wrong my thinking was.
As we went through the process of
planning the wedding, up through
the night of, I can honestly say
that I can't imagine having gone
through the process without Amy
by my side throughout all of it.
There are many special things
about Celebration by Amy Bacon,
that I could list off. But what
stood out to me above everything
else is the fact that Amy managed
to embrace my rather "type A"
personality, while giving me the
needed support and guidance, all
the while actually listening to
my vision. Any time I felt
overwhelmed, Amy was right there
to direct me, calm me, and manage
the situation. This ultimately
resulted in a wedding that
surpassed what I could have ever
imagined actually becoming a
reality (and yes I cried when I
saw everything come together).
However, as I discovered, no
matter how well planned a wedding
is, no wedding occurs without a
hiccup. Yet, when something would
come up, from items being broken
or left at a wrong location by my
friends and family, or even when
one of my bridesmaid's ripped her
dress down the back, Amy and her
team seamlessly managed it before
it could even possibly become a
crisis. Every step of the way Amy
was a blessing. She helped guide
me to my vision and executed the
wedding itself flawlessly. My
wedding is a memory that I will
cherish forever, because I
married the man of my dreams.
But, the fact that Amy helped
make that memory mirror a dream
in my mind, that I thought was
unattainable, made that day one
that I will forever hold near and
relive frequently. I simply can't
imagine my wedding without, my
now dear friend, Amy Bacon.
~Mr. H.B.,
Married 3.21.15
The
first thing my husband and I
talked about after getting
engaged was the need for a
wedding planner. With our hectic
work schedules it just seemed
impossible to plan a wedding on
our own. While researching dozens
of planners, one name kept
popping up. AMY BACON (or as I
like to call her...The
Baconator). With all of the
awards and countless 5 star
reviews I just had to talk to
her. And after meeting with her I
HAD to HIRE her!! Amy is the best
thing that ever happened to us
during our wedding planning
adventures. In everything she
does it shows that she loves her
job and cares for her clients.
Amy was absolutely outstanding
during the entire process. She
ALWAYS had a quick response time
and knew all the answers... even
when my groom forgot his wedding
ring at home the day of the
wedding. Thank you Amy for not
only saving the day during my
crisis, but for making the entire
process FUN and as stress free as
humanly possible. I'm happy to
say we not only gained an
outstanding event planner, but a
great friend.
~Mrs. S.R,
Married 3.15.15
My
daughter deserves the best. She
got it when she chose Amy to help
her plan, coordinate and execute
her wedding in March, 2015. Amy
was there throughout the process
to help my daughter's dreams come
true. From my perspective as
Father of the Bride, I can't
encourage you enough to take
advantage of her "day of"
assistance. Having a pro there to
handle everything allowed
everyone to focus on enjoying
this special event.

My

12/13/14. Great news! One little
problem, we had less than three
months to plan the wedding!
Yikes! That's where Amy Bacon
came in. No problem for her and
her team of experts. She put
together an incredible event in
our home in DC Ranch. I literally
did not worry about a thing! I
was able to relax and enjoy the
day with family and friends.
Thank you Amy for making our

~Mrs. N.R.,
Married 11.29.14
I
don't think I can express in
words how essential and perfect
Gale with Celebrations by Amy
Bacon was to our wedding. When we
decided to plan a backyard
wedding in Scottsdale AZ in under
8 months we knew we needed help,
especially since we live in
Tucson. After finding
Celebrations online and
contacting Amy, Gale and I setup
a phone chat. I knew after
talking to her that she would be
perfect to help make our dreams a
reality. She connected us with
amazing vendors in the area and
helped setup meetings in our
limited time slots in Scottsdale.
Through her we found absolutely
awesome vendors and for that
alone it's worth hiring a planner
who has experience and knows who
to go to for everything. As an
engineer I am extremely detail
orientated. Gale was a woman
after my own heart with her
organized lists, especially the
day of timeline. Throughout the
process of planning our wedding
my fiancee and I called her my
sanity. She kept track of
everything so I didn't have to
worry that I was missing
something important. That was the
most true on the day of the
wedding. I didn't have to worry
about anything. In fact the
moment I saw Gale on the morning
of my wedding all my worries
disappeared because I knew she
would be able to handle
everything. She and her assistant
took care of getting everything
setup including DIY decorations
and making sure all the vendors
did as planned. They were always
checking to make sure we were
doing okay and would get us
anything we might need. The
ceremony and reception went off
flawless as far as I could tell
(and if it didn't I'm glad I
don't know about it). After my
new husband and I left Gale
stayed to finish cleaning up and
organizing everything. My
parent's were floored and so
appreciative since otherwise they
would have had to do it (being at
their home). Gale and
Celebrations by Amy Bacon are the
reason why I had my perfect
amazing wedding day without any
worries and I will forever be
thankful that I was able to work
with them.
~Mrs. C.A.,
Married 10.4.14
If
you’re reading
this, you’re
probably considering a wedding
planner. Long story short? Hire
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. Amy
saved me time, money, stress, and
was hands-down the best
wedding-vendor decision my
husband and I made. I truly
can’t imagine
planning a wedding without
her.
We
selected the wedding venue prior
to hiring Amy and got a taste for
how painstaking it can be to pick
any wedding vendor. After Amy was
hired, all of the other decisions
were much quicker, easier, and
less stressful. We were so happy
with all of the vendors Amy
recommended. Amy also has
unbeatable expertise,
she’s full of
great advice and ideas.
I
almost exclusively contacted Amy
through e-mail because that was
convenient for me and I was
always shocked by how quickly she
responded. I also feel that her
price was completely reasonable
and a far better value than
anything else wedding-related.
You can’t put
a price on feeling calm and
relaxed on your wedding
day.
Amy’s day-of
service was amazing. There were a
million little details that Amy
and her team took care of so that
we (or our loved ones)
didn’t have
to. I didn’t
have to remember the details or
worry about whether the reception
space was set up right. Amy made
sure my husband and I had some
alone time before the reception
and had appetizers and drinks
ready for us. During the whole
wedding, we were constantly cared
for and it never felt like an
intrusion, but a welcome help.
After the wedding, my dad (FOB)
commented that
he’s been to a
lot of weddings and
he’s never
seen a wedding go more smoothly
and he attributed to that
completely to Amy Bacon.
Why
choose Amy over any other
planner? Amy is extremely
passionate about her job and
truly makes you feel personally
cared for. It amazes me how
someone who plans important
events for a living can make you
feel so special and genuinely get
excited for your event. I truly
feel like she would do everything
in her power to make your day
special and go smoothly.

Eileen Lambert helped
out with my wedding and was
great! We had about 200 people
at our wedding and our venue
had changed the event planner
we were working with a few days
before the wedding! Turns out
the new lady handling the event
had never done a wedding before
and the wedding it was her
first day on the job! Eileen
was able to help her out with
all the details, which was huge
because she did not know what
was going on or how things were
supposed to be! I didn't even
find out about all this until
after the wedding and it was a
good thing because I think I
would have freaked out a
little. Eileen was able to do
some last minute running around
for us and help us iron out
details we had over looked. She
made the day go so smoothly and
I am SO glad she was there to
help!! My whole wedding party
loved the timeline she came up
with and it helped everyone be
on the same page. I would
definitely recommend her to
anyone!! Eileen was great!"

My sister , nothing
but raved about this planner
from day one. Often changing
ideas and way she wanted to
handle the wedding look,
event and vibe of the day. I
heard nothing but amazing
feedback from my sister up
till the wedding - then I saw
for myself.
From the moment we
woke up and got ready Amy's
staff was there to run
errands ( paradise bakery for
the ladies getting ready),
keeping us on time and
scheduled, reminding us about
items to remember and take
and keeping everyone on ease.
(there but out of the way- as
we didn't notice them until
we needed them ) . After we
left to the wedding venue,
the staff stayed behind,and
left prepared a sweet
surprise for the bride and
groom. After arrival at the
church we were greeted by the
staff again. Beyond on their
toes and ready for any needs.
( including a safety pin for
my falling dress ) . At the
wedding venue they became a
full force staff. There was
nothing needed by anyone .
Each guest was made aware and
comfortable. I was amazed how
tentative and creative they
became with each
request.
I am thankful for each
of Amy's staff. There was no
way my sisters wedding would
have been pulled off as it
was ( with her many request )
. It was something to truly
remember

What can I say.... I
was a lost bride. I didn't
feel I had grip on what I
wanted the wedding to look
like, feel like and be. We
even had such a hard time
settling on a venue since
we rented a private
property home (this can set
you up for logistical,
physical and other
stressors). Queue
Patrice... she was my focus
and support! She helped us
dial in some INCREDIBLE
vendors who supported the
ultimate final vision. She
absolutely cared and made
the day run smoothly. I
can't imagine what we would
have run into or
encountered if she hadn't
been there. Biggest hiccup,
we couldn't find the bow
tie for our bullmastiff
ring barer. I was in such a
breezy mood I told the CBAB
staff to steal an extra tie
from the groomsmen and that
worked out so well! Walter
really looked handsome too
:)
I
can't say enough about
CBAB, they make your dreams
come true. I'd recommend,
the investment as it is
well worth it (coming from
an extremely budget mindful
bride). Over 16 months
later, I still feel the
same way and I recommend
them to whoever I hear is
getting married. The are
stellar! Don't wait a
heartbeat, CALL THEM NOW.

Amy Bacon's incredible
team helped with month of
& day of coordination for
our wedding. Not only did
they take the time &
thought to provide us an
incredible service, they do
so very willingly &
accommodated for our specific
requests. They connected me
with some of the best names
in the valley for photography
& florals, and worked
efficiently and effortlessly
to provide a picture perfect
day.
I really appreciate
how Patrice & Eileen
helped me fully realize my
vision (especially since I
was the most non-committal
bride out there), but they
did so with patience &
complete understanding.
Thank you ladies for
your support. Everything
turned out beautifully &
I appreciate everything you
did, to make things run so
smoothly.
~Mrs.
C.G., Married 5.3.14
My husband and I are
having a hard time trying to
find words that will express
how GREAT of an experience we
had with the Celebrations by
Amy Bacon (CBAB) team. The
planning process was a long
road for our big wedding on a
tight budget, and we couldn't
have made it possible without
the continuous assistance of
the CBAB team. The reason why
we say the
“teamâ€
is because we had wonderful
day-of-assistants that helped
decorate and clean up on the
big day, the owner Amy Bacon
reached out to us frequently
to assist with quality vendor
recommendations or simply to
check in to check up on us,
but more importantly our
day-of-coordinator Patrice
Klaum was available,
responsive, professional,
sweet, genuinely caring, and
all around a great
coordinator and person! She
was our saving grace numerous
times as my husband and I
have very busy careers which
makes it very hard to get a
hold of certain vendors
during the work week when
they were available. Patrice
had to deal with what seemed
like inexperienced event
coordinators at two different
venues (one for ceremony and
another for reception),
poorly communicated
conflicting events at these
venues, difficult family
members, as well as the crazy
work schedules of the bride
& groom (i.e. emails
coming in at midnight b/c
that was the only time we had
to devote to the wedding).
Even encountering all of
that, Patrice had a smile on
her face at all times, was
ALWAYS willing to do more,
and coordinated
“The Best
Wedding Everâ€
(which were the exact words
from us and ALL of our guests
at the end of the night and
beyond). We cannot thank
Patrice Klaum, and what we
now call the rest of the CBAB
FAMILY, enough for helping us
coordinate our dream event.
We definitely could not have
done it without them. We
recommend their services to
EVERYONE, especially those
that want a great event but
have little time to dedicate
to the planning and even more
so to couples like us that
needed to coordinate a BIG
event on a small budget.
Thank you CBAB!

I have known Amy for
several years now, I have
seen the magic she and her
team creates -- so it was a
no brainer when I got engaged
who I would be turning to
first! Gale was my savior,
she kept me sane and made
sure that every single little
last detail was executed
perfectly. Just knowing I had
her by my side on the big day
was a huge relief. My family
and I loved her from the
moment we met her, I couldn't
imagine reliving that day
without her! Thank you Gale
and the entire CBAB team!

Celebrations by Amy
Bacon is the best decision we
ever made!! From the
beginning Amy and her team
have helped us in so many
ways. When I hired my caterer
I had reservations about them
so we hired Amy Bacon to
assist in the process. She
stepped right in and stepped
right up to the challenge! I
never would have been able to
plan everything without her
recommendations and constant
emails, texts and phone
calls. You get more then just
a day-of-coordinator - you
get a life line and a friend.
I can't explain HOW grateful
I am for the over-the-top
services we received. When my
family photographer quit 10
days before the wedding Amy
had me interviewing
photographers that she hand
picked for us that very same
night and we had a contract
signed the next day. Now I
have amazing pictures because
of her and her ability to
pair couples up with the
perfect vender for YOU. As
with every wedding day things
go wrong - which I never knew
until the next day - as Amy
and her team kept it cool and
kept any drama away from the
party. I can't recommend
Celebrations By Amy Bacon
enough! And in 10 years when
we renew our vows I know who
is the FIRST person I'll be
hiring - Amy Bacon!
~Mrs.
S.K., Married 4.5.14
Amy and her team did
an amazing professional job
for our daughter's wedding.
When I saw the room for the
dinner my breath was
literally taken away.
She and her team
worked so hard the entire
event. I truly don't know how
she does this time and time
again. Could not give her
less than excellent. She
knows the vendors and worked
miracles with them to give my
daughter the wedding of her
dreams.
~Mrs.
M.V., Mother of the Bride

As the groom I didn't
really know what to expect
when it came to planning a
large scale wedding. I had
worked as a captain for a
catering company while in
college and thought helping
my bride would be a cake
walk. I couldn't have been
more wrong. My wife and I
were fortunate enough to
learn early on in the process
that we both couldn't handle
the scale of this
alone.
I knew from the minute we met
with Amy and her team that
she could get the job done.
What I underestimated was the
level of detail and passion
she had for all the
intricacies to make our day
so special. Not only was she
able to knock it out of the
park but we actually became
friends with the whole team
along the way.
One of the most
precious moments I was able
to take from our wedding day
was when my wife and I were
able to peel away right after
the ceremony with Amy, Gale,
and Kate Ryan (who nailed
Mary's vision for the flower
design and was recommended by
Amy) to take a sneak peek at
our reception area. We were
literally blown away and to
see my wife so happy that she
began to cry was something I
will never forget. Then I
looked over at Amy and the
team and the passion had
filled within them so much
they had tears of joy running
down their faces as well
which reiterated to me how
much love and care they all
put into making it more than
perfect.
Amy, her team, and the
recommended vendors were all
so on point through the
entire process and even the
day after our big day my
father was praising how any
need that arose was attended
to immediately without
hesitation by the team.
If there was ever a perfect
wedding meticulously and
gracefully executed it
happened that day for us and
it couldn't have been pulled
off without Amy and the
Celebrations team.
~Mr.
H.E., Married 3.15.14
Perfection, greatness,
professionalism, and
mind-blowing are a few of the
many words I have about Amy
Bacon. Amy and her team are
the best wedding planners in
the world! I myself am
obsessed with every detail,
and was blown away at the
final product, execution, and
everything along the way. Amy
and her team always made sure
we were first priority, had
everything we could have ever
imagined, and felt like rock
stars throughout. I worked
with this stellar team for
over a year and when it came
down to it, Amy always knew
what to do and how to handle
every second. Not only do I
consider Amy the best of the
best in this industry, but
also a close friend. If you
want something as important
as your wedding done right,
you'll choose Amy Bacon. No
matter what you're
expectations are she will
ensure you're vision is
created and it's a perfect
wedding (yes, those do exist
and I had one!). Thank you so
much Amy, Patrice, Gale,
Jenna, and Eileen. You're the
best :)
~Mrs.
M.E., Married 3.15.14
Working with Eileen
and Patrice made my wedding
day so much easier and less
stressful! They helped to
make sure the day went
without any hang ups and that
I didn't have to deal with
any issues.
~Mrs.
B.O., Married 3.14.15
Words probably don't
accurately express my
gratitude for CBAB. Gale was
very attentive through the
whole process. I used 'Day
Of' coordination. However,
they are a part of the
experience well before the
wedding day. They created a
flawless timeline &
coordinated all vendors &
every detail, major &
minor. My groom was equally
as appreciative of CBAB as I
was. Hiring a wedding planner
shouldn't be an option; it
should be mandatory! I had no
worries the day of our
wedding!
~Mrs.
C.B., Married 3.1.14
Amy and I instantly
connected. She saw right away
that I knew what I wanted and
she was on top of making sure
I got it. She helped me put
reality to the dream I had
for my wedding day. The day
of, her and her amazing crew
were so diligent and
organized. I can honestly say
NOT 1 THING went wrong on my
wedding day..and if it did I
sure didn't know about it.
Perfection wouldn't have been
possible without Amy and I
know that I have found a
forever friend with her and
the rest of the Celebrations
by Amy Bacon crew.
~Mrs.
B.B., Married 2.28.14
My
day couldn't have been any

Finding Celebrations
by Amy Bacon was the best
investment that we ever made
for this wedding. I've only
lived in the area for 3 years
so when we decided to have
the wedding here I had no
idea where to begin or even
where to start looking. Amy
and her team referred us to
every vendor that we needed
and they all were all great!
They were open to all of my
ideas, even if there were
things they hadn't done
before. Whenever there was a
fall out (such as my venue
closing down...) they were
always there not only to fix
it, but for support. The
entire team, especially my
planner Gale, is very calm
and that was so helpful
throughout this whole
process. I appreciated that I
was never told "no", or if I
was there was an explanation
as to why and a better
solution.
Ultimately, I wanted a
planner to be there on my day
to make sure that not only
me, but my entire family and
wedding party could enjoy the
night and not be bothered by
anything. That is exactly
what happened on my wedding
day! Gale made a timeline
that started from rehearsal
to the end of the wedding
night and it was down to the
minute, including to ensure
bride and grooms drinks are
filled and lipstick is
reapplied. Amazing! For the
entire day there was only one
minor issue that happened and
the team got it taken care of
before I even knew about it.
Thanks to them it was an
amazing day that myself, my
husband, friends, and family
will NEVER forget!!
~Mrs.
C.T., Married 11.16.13
As the mother of the
bride I knew from the day Ciara
was engaged that we would want
a planner. Ciara interviewed
several different planners but
was most impressed with Amy and
her team. We were the
unfortunate victims of the
Inspirador down fall but Gale
and Amy immediately stepped in,
eased our frustration and we
had a new and much better venue
with in 2 weeks! Ciara had a
unique and specific vision for
her wedding, Gale understood
and supported her in everything
she threw her way. The day of
the wedding went flawless!! It
was unbelievable how we all got
to enjoy the celebration of
Ciara and Kyle's marriage and
never had to worry about
anything! My husband was most
impressed when he was sweating
and anxious just before the
ceremony and all the sudden
here's Amy behind him with a
fan cooling him off! We will
defiantly use Celebrations by
Amy Bacon and team for future
events. Love you guys!

We hired Amy Bacon as
our wedding planner a year and
a half before our November 9,
2013 wedding. We had a lot of
time to work with her and the
entire experience was very
enjoyable and
stress-free.
Whenever we needed to
choose a vendor for our
wedding, Amy provided us with
several that she knows are
professional and reliable. This
is such a huge help! Instead of
having to weed through hundreds
of people on Google, we were
given 3 or 4 options to
explore. All of the vendors
that Amy recommended were
fabulous - they were easy to
work with, professional,
knowledgeable, and
creative.
Amy guided us through
the planning process and kept
us on track with what needed to
be done, but never rushed our
decisions. She was always
available via email or phone
whenever we needed anything.
Amy often put in extra time and
attended several of our vendor
meetings.
An extremely positive
thing about having Amy Bacon
was her help and support when
anything got off track. Luckily
for us, we only had one hiccup
that occurred and it confirmed
Amy's concern for her clients,
her professionalism and her
problem solving skills. Having
her as a mediator in our
difficult situation allowed for
easier negotiation through the
problem.
The day of our wedding
was amazing and absolutely
perfect, much in part to Amy
Bacon and her entire team. They
set up all of my DIY
decorations so I never even had
to think about it or get family
members to help. She had extra
team members to make sure that
all of the bridal party was
taken care of all day. Her team
was kind and respectful to all
our guests and made sure
everyone was enjoying the
event. They were so prepared
with a detailed time line for
the day and made sure
everything went according to
schedule. The time line and the
team's experience was a
tremendous asset to making the
day run smoothly.
I would highly recommend
Celebrations by Amy Bacon to
any future bride! They are
fabulous!
~Mrs. A.R.,
Married 11.09.13
We hired Celebrations by
Amy Bacon pretty late in the
game when we decided that we
were done feeling stressed
about our wedding reception.
This was the best decision we
could have made! Patrice was
our lead planner and her
assistant was Eileen. Between
Amy, Patrice and Eileen, we
never had to worry that
something wasn't going to get
done. They took over the role
of organizing all of the
vendors and making sure that
our questions were answered by
the venue. We never expected to
feel so stress free the weekend
of our event! Patrice and
Eileen took care of everything
so that all we had to do was
show up and have fun!

How do you spell
“amazing�
A-M-Y B-A-C-O-N!
She is the most amazing
wedding planner, and woman, I
have ever met.
We just completed our
daughter’s
wedding in a Scottsdale hotel
in November, and I can only say
that Amy Bacon was the maestro
behind it
all…and the
most wonderful person to work
with that we could ever
imagine! I cannot recommend Amy
Bacon enough.
She is sweet,
considerate, thoughtful,
responsive, positive and highly
professional. She knows her
business well and takes it very
seriously. Her goal is to make
the bride and groom happy while
executing a smooth wedding day
for all involved, and she did
that many times over for our
daughter’s
wedding. Amy always had their
happiness in mind as she helped
them make choices that met
their needs, plus ours (the
parents). She is a counselor
and a negotiator, working
carefully to ensure that the
goals and visions of the
wedding day are acceptable to
both the parents and the bride
and groom.
She never failed to
return even one phone call in a
very short amount of time. Her
promptness was incredible. She
takes each
client’s
relationship very seriously and
makes sure you feel that you
are her ONLY client, and the
most important person in the
world.
Amy always has a
positive attitude, and
approaches each challenge or
problem with the expectation
that “This
can be done, or fixed
– no
problem!â€
We are indebted to her
for making our
daughter’s
dreams came true on the most
special and important day of
her life. The entire wedding
event could not have gone more
smoothly, due in large part to
Amy Bacon and her staff
– their
skills, their genuine caring
personalities, and their
ability to make everyone happy!
~Mrs. D.S.,
Mother of the Bride

Celebrations By Amy
Bacon did an absolutely
outstanding job of planning and
executing my
daughter’s
wedding!! Although she is
called a wedding planner, and
we started planning with her
almost two years prior, the
most amazing aspect of her
services is what she does the
day of the wedding when it
comes to executing the event.
She and her team take care of
everything that needs to be
done on that most important
day, freeing you up to relax,
socialize and enjoy the moment.
My wife and I had no worries
the day of the wedding because
we knew Amy Bacon was taking
care of everything. We were
free to be fully engulfed in a
day of love, friendship and
happiness. I consider Amy Bacon
to be not only the best wedding
planner in Phoenix, AZ, but
just about the best wedding
planner I can imagine anywhere.
That’s how
good, reliable, trust worthy,
and capable Amy Bacon and her
team are. Her attention to
detail, and her energy and
enthusiasm to make things
perfect, are the signature
quality that Amy Bacon brings
to her craft. In addition, she
also has that unique quality of
getting to know and understand
the bride, the groom, the
parents and other family and
friends, and she is capable of
fulfilling
everyone’s
needs and desires to make the
wedding the perfect occasion,
and -- I have never seen anyone
work so hard to make it so!

Amy and her team were
amazing to work with. I heard
this before, and I was one of
the brides that thought I
didn't need a day of
coordinator. It turned out to
be the best wedding decision
we made! Amy's team were by
our side all day during the
wedding, taking care of every
little detail so we could
relax and enjoy the day. I
didn't have to move a hand or
foot to do anything and the
wedding turned out exactly as
planned thanks to their help
and organization of all the
details. We had so many
wedding compliments from our
guests about how amazing the
wedding turned out and guests
even noticed the wedding
coordinators helping out
because they were there to
help the guests too!! High
recommend their services for
your wedding, you won't be
disappointed!!
~Mrs.
M.C., Married 11.02.13
My (now) in-laws hired
Celebrations by Amy Bacon
around a 2 months prior to
our wedding date. At the
time, we had everything in
place, or so we thought, but
as the day grew closer both
sets of parents were getting
concerned that they weren't
going to be able to enjoy the
wedding. Who was going to
receive our vendors day of?
Who was going to set up the
escort cards? Make sure the
party was running smoothly?
You get the idea. Anyway,
hiring Amy and her team was
hands down, best decision
ever made. They were hired as
"day of coordinators",
although if the amount of
work they did for us is
considered "day of" then
their bigger package must
include the engagement too!
Gale, who was our point
person, jumped in
immediately. My husband and I
live in LA (our parents live
in Phx) but it seemed like
Gale was just down the
street. A call never went
unanswered and every email
was answered in the same day
(if not immediately). At
first I was apprehensive to
"use" them too much before
the "day of" but Gale had me
thinking that my wedding was
her only focus. She is
extremely organized, detail
oriented, professional, and
soooo nice! I haven't even
touched on their "day of"
services! I felt like a
princess and not just because
of my dress. Gale and her
team were attentive but in no
way intrusive. I didn't speak
to one vendor, touch a single
piece of decor, pack up any
of my belongings I brought to
the bridal room, or even hold
my own lip gloss! The
ceremony site & reception
area looked exactly how I
envisioned it and the whole
event ran so seamlessly. If I
keep going on (which I can!)
you're going to think I've
been paid. Oh wait! The candy
bar!! We hired them for that
too! Candy was delicious and
all purple & blue the
colors of our wedding! It was
beautiful!
~Mrs.
J.V., Married 10.20.13
After spending months on
planning the day, booking vendors,
finishing DIY projects the last
thing you want is to miss out on
the whole wedding weekend dealing
with problems and running errands.
Patrice and her team get 100% of
the credit for giving us a
completely stress free, fun filled
and PERFECT wedding night. We had a
lot of fantastic vendors but hiring
Celebration by Amy Bacon was by far
the best decision I made.What my
husband said the next morning
summarized it perfectly "I moved
around all night but every time I
needed something I would turn
around and somehow Patrice was
always there, and taking care of it
right away..it was
amazing.â€
Most
venues provide an on-site
coordinator but just a few things
Patrice did for us that no venue
coordinator will do for you:
Create
detailed timelines for all;
vendors, activities and guests
(ours ended up 5 pages long!), tell
you anything you forgot to
plan/choose. Deal with vendor
issues (and there will be many.) Be
the primary contract for the
vendor’s week of
the wedding so that you can enjoy
your time with family. Be on site
the day of to make sure everything
is set up properly so that you can
just relax and get ready. Take care
of any final details you forgot.
Keep track of all your special
requests. Bring the bridal party
Starbucks while they're getting
ready. Coordinate the whole wedding
party. Tell you where you need to
be at all points in time. Make sure
timeline flows seamlessly. Make
sure you have time to eat dinner.
Be ready to help with anything
that’s
impossible to anticipate; start the
music earlier, guests dress ripped,
guest got sick and they helped with
getting her into a cab, cut off
anyone that drank too much, run out
to pick up beer for the guests who
weren’t ready to
end the party.
If I was
to do it again, I would start with
hiring Patrice (from Celebrations
by Amy Bacon) and then work on the
budget with her to figure out what
we can afford and what needs to be
cut from there.
~Mrs. A.D.,
Married 8.10.13
Gale Jones from
Celebrations by Amy Bacon was my
day of coordinator. She was
awesome. She did day of
coordination and helped review my
vendor contracts. It was so helpful
to have her expertise, as I have
never planned a wedding before, and
will only do it once. Her
suggestions, organization and
attention to detail were amazing.
My venue and pastor commented that
she was the best wedding
coordinator they had ever worked
with. My wedding went off without a
hitch. Well.... at least to my
knowledge. Whatever little things
came up Gale handled it all; I
enjoyed the entire day without a
single problem coming my way. She
knew what I wanted and how to get
it done. She also did a great job
making sure that every person and
vendor, that was a part of the
wedding, knew the schedule of
events and made sure they knew what
was expected of them well in
advance to avoid any
miscommunication. I would highly
recommend her to any bride who is
finding wedding planning to be
overwhelming and is worried about
how the day of will go. I had a
great wedding and a great
experience with Gale.
~Mrs. P.,
Married 8.02.13
My event planner Patrice
was amazing! She was so helpful
with anything that I needed. I
could ask her for anything and
she would make it happen. I
could not have asked for
anything better!
~ Mrs.
Camille, Married 4.27.13
Three weeks from my
wedding day I began to realize
that I
couldn’t do
everything myself. Between set
up and breakdown, making
seating charts and timelines,
coordinating the wedding party,
and dealing with vendors I was
overwhelmed to say the least!
On the brink of a major
bridezilla meltdown, I searched
for a coordinator and found
Amy. BEST DECISION
EVER!!!!
I refer to Amy as
“my gift to
me†and boy was
she. On the day of my wedding
she showed up and handled
everything beautifully. No
detail was left unattended. My
ceremony and reception spaces
were set up exactly as I had
imagined. I
couldn’t
have done it better myself.
Every time I turned to ask a
question, Amy was there to
answer it before the words left
my mouth.
If I went to reach for
my bouquet she was there to
hand it to me. When I needed a
drink of water she was there
with a fresh glass. When my
venue neglected to tell me that
they needed the bridal suite
cleared half way through my
wedding, Amy was there to clear
it. When my guests needed help
Amy was there to answer their
questions. When the caterer
needed a place to put the
leftovers and cake Amy took
care of it. Set up and take
down? Amy had it done in no
time. I'm telling you ladies,
you need Amy! I am giving her
as a referral to every bride I
know. She is that good.
Don’t waste
your time with anyone else.
Thank you Amy for making my day
so perfect! I
couldn’t
have done it without you!

I don't know how brides
and grooms tackle a wedding
without a planner. Even for the
highly organized, there are a
hundred things that pop up last
minute that you simply can't
anticipate. Plus, the wedding
needs to be about having fun
and connecting with family and
friends - not managing vendors,
"hosting" and ensuring a
timeline flows smoothly.
Celebrations by Amy Bacon made
everything seamless.
Communication was excellent,
and I was able to fully focus
on my husband and family. The
planners anticipated our needs
throughout the entire process.
They made our event and
questions (no matter how minor
or detailed) a priority. I felt
they cared about the wedding
and were vested in its success.
I would use them again in a
heart beat.

Amy has
been absolutely amazing!!!! She has
the best ideas and is always so
helpful. She also knows all the
best vendors and everyone she's
recommended has been great. Plus
you get a discount from the vendor
since you are working with Amy. No
one should get married without
Amy's help.
~Mrs. J.H.,

Amy of
Celebrations by Amy Bacon is a
first rate planner. She was very
responsive and answered all my
questions quickly. Amy accepted the
challenge of helping plan my
wedding in Sedona, a new city for
her company. She was successful at
finding some great vendors for me
there, and I also found some of my
own.
While Amy
was great to work with during the
planning process, I'd have to say
she really shined on the "day of".
Amy and her assistant Patrice were
everywhere at every moment,
ensuring everything was done and in
place. My fiancé and I
didn't have to worry about a thing.
Even when the chair vendor was late
to pick up the chairs from the
ceremony in a public venue, Amy
waited and kept everything safe and
managed the cocktail hour via phone
with Patrice without letting
anything slip. Truly a
professional!!
~Mrs. M.F.,
Married 4.14.13
The team
at Celebrations by Amy Bacon is
amazing. Words cannot express how
calm our wedding day and the weeks
leading up to it were. I had no
reason to be stressed or anxious in
any way. I knew Amy and her team
had everything under control. Were
there snafus on my big day? Maybe,
but I never knew about them. Could
I have planned a wedding on my own?
Sure, but it would never have been
anywhere near as beautiful or as
close to my budget if I had and I
would have not been the calm,
relaxed bride that I was.
Everything ran smoothly all day
long and many of our guests
commented to me and my husband on
how impressed they were with the
Celebrations by Amy Bacon team. Our
day was incredibly beautiful and
relaxed. The hard work put into the
day by all involved was enhanced by
this talented team. Hire them, you
deserve it.
~Mrs. Amanda

I suppose
I should start by saying that Amy
Bacon and her team of amazing,
beautiful, fearless, and VERY
passionate woman are not just the
world best event coordinators; they
are our family that we never knew
we had! Or as I like to call them;
the "Rosie Rivitor's" of event
planning, coordinating, executing
and most definitely exceeding any
and all expectations! HANDS DOWN! I
am beyond honored to have met the
"Celebrations By Amy Bacon" family
and will always refer to them as
family! Thank you Amy, for being an
amazing "sister wife" to my best
friend and beautiful wife Kaycee
Kisling. (Inside Joke, amongst Amy
(The Best) Bacon & Family)
Thank you for loving us and helping
us have the most beautiful and real
day of our lives! You and your team
of awesomeness FREAKING ROCK!!!!
~Mr. Jeffrey
Kisling, Married 2.23.13
I feel as
though words cannot describe the
gratitude that I have for Amy &
her team and all that they did for
my special day, but I will do my
best! First, let me start by saying
that I never thought I would be the
bride with a wedding planner;
however I met Amy when she did a
friend’s wedding
just weeks after I got engaged. My
friend had such amazing things to
say about her and my husband and I
really clicked with her personality
at the wedding, I figured it was
worth looking into. I am soooooo
glad that I did!
Through
the planning process her advice and
referrals were invaluable. When my
life outside of the wedding world
got a little crazy, she made sure I
stayed on task but always remained
supportive and didn't push too
hard. And as the chaos of the weeks
leading up to the wedding seemed oh
so overwhelming she was a genuine
friend and calming force. Amy Bacon
is the only reason I did not
completely lose my mind before my
wonderful wedding!
I could go
on and on about the many many many
ways that Amy and her team went
above and beyond what I would ever
expect (like picking up the best
man who's flight was late so he
could be at our rehearsal dinner)
but what resonates the most is the
fact that on my wedding day every
time somebody asked "Do you have
... (scissors, sand paper, sewing
kit, ANY THING YOU COULD THINK OF)"
the answer was "I bet Amy does"
… and she did!!
:)
What
really warms my heart the most is
to hear that not only did she make
my life easier and my day more
enjoyable; she did the same for
everybody in and at my wedding. I
cannot count the number of people
from parents, bridesmaids and
groomsmen, family and guests that
have commented to me how amazing,
professional, friendly, efficient,
and just a pleasure to be around
Amy and her team were.
Thank you
from the bottom of my heart doesn't
even begin to say enough!
~Mrs. Kaycee
Kisling, Married 2.23.13
Amy Bacon
and her team more than exceeded my
expectations for planning my
wedding. I hired Amy and her team
to help ease the stress of planning
a wedding, and for the piece of
mind that everything would go
smoothly on our big day. Amy,
Patrice, Gale, and the Celebrations
by Amy Bacon team made our day SO
special. Not only did Amy keep me
sane in the months leading up to
the wedding, but Amy and her team
recommend awesome vendors, made
sure everything was super
organized, and helped me put
together my ideas, just to name a
few things. I could not have done
it without Amy. Amy goes WAY beyond
being just your average wedding
planner to ensure that everyone is
happy and relaxed the day of, to
provide moral support, and to be a
friend. I would highly recommend
Amy Bacon to anyone planning a
wedding! She is all sorts of
awesomeness!!!
~Mrs.
Tiffany Erhard, Married
2.8.13
I could
not have imagined planning my
wedding without Amy. I hired her
for her month of services which
includes day of coordinating which
is why I wanted to hire Amy; she
ensures that all goes perfect on
your "big day" along with many
other things. I did not have to
worry about anything on my wedding
day. For example, our DJ had a tire
blow out on his way to the venue,
he called Amy, she called discount
tire and spoke with GM to ensure
that the DJ was taken care of
immediately so he could make it to
wedding. The ceremony was only
delayed a little bit, which allowed
us more time for pictures and
everything worked out just fine and
I didn't have to do anything. She
also opened the bar early to keep
my guests happy :) Amy and her
Patrice were awesome,they always
there when I needed them and they
ensured all went as planned. My
family loved them as well as they
were able to enjoy the wedding and
not worry about things either. I
would recommend that everyone have
someone like Amy for their wedding,
she really is awesome and knows
EVERYTHING!!!
I would
also like to add that she worked
very hard to ensure the venue
looked perfect. Amy did some
cleaning that was not done prior to
the wedding. She definitely went
above and beyond!
~Mrs. Sam
Burkham, Married 11.02.12
I had been
following Amy through a friend
who's friend was getting married
and using her services. I knew when
she was at an open house I had to
take my daughter Samantha (Bride to
be) to meet Amy along with some
other vendors. Amy was everything I
had thought she would be. We
immediately hired her for her Event
Planning expertise. Without Amy I
don't know what any of us would
have done. She is very professional
and personable. Amy & her team
took care of things we wouldn't
even begin to think about. I will
absolutely hire Amy again if ever
needed for her Event Planning
Services and/or her Candy Buffets
and Favors.
~Brenda,
Mother of the Bride

We did not
originally plan to have a
day-of-planner, but after a few
changes to our venue we decided it
was a must. Amy, Gale, and their
team did a great job on our
wedding!! They made our day run
incredibly smooth, and we were very
happy with our decision to work
with them for the day of our
wedding! Being an out-of-town
bride, they put me at ease, and
worked really well with our venue
coordinator to ensure we got the
wedding we had hoped for.
~Mrs.
Michelle Meyer, Married

I could not have
done this without Amy. She thought
of many things that I would have
never planned for. She is very
detail oriented, prompt in her
responses and was always calm and
reassuring.
~Mrs. Tresha
Aschenbrener, Married
9.29.12
I am so happy we
got to work with Amy and her team.
I am very laid back and she gave me
direction and helped me define what
was important to us for our special
day. It was a sunny hot Arizona day
and Amy and her team (Patrice and
Gale) had these wonderful fans, so
we didn't get hot in between
takings pictures. They were
attentive to everyones needs. I
forgot my garter and one of the
girls immediately went and bought
me a new one. I highly recommend
Celebrations by Amy Bacon. She
helped make my special day even
more amazing!
~Mrs. Nicole
Haris, Married 6.10.12
Wow! Amy and her team
went above and beyond in every way
to make my sisters wedding as
stress free as possible. I could
not imagine the day without her and
her amazing team. Amy and two team
members were so attentive and did
not miss any detail. My daughter,
who was the flower girl, was
getting a little fussy right before
she was about to go on, Amy
immediately had one of her team
members there to play with my
daughter, talking to her about what
she was going to do when walking
down the isle, this took the stress
of my part in the ceremony and as a
Dad really made me feel so special
to know my daughter was in great
hands.
The flow of the
event as a whole went perfect, as
the Brides Brother I checked in
with her to make sure she had
something to drink, tried the
appetizers, etc but every time I
would ask Amy and her team were 5
steps ahead of me! They had
appetizers ready for them in the
bridal room, made sure they had
something to drink, I even heard
them asking some of the vendors
like the DJ and Photobooth
attendants so that they didn't have
to leave there posts.
At my own wedding we did not get a
chance to eat because we got busy
and forgot. Amy brought my sister
and her husband there meal, drinks,
and checked in on the guests with
perfect attention to detail.
To have a stress
free day on the most important day
of your life which will allow you
to actually enjoy your day vs.
having to worry about was this or
that done.
If you are
planning a special wedding or event
hands down hire Amy Bacon and her
amazing team!
~Mr. Mike
Fazio, Brother of the Bride

She did an amazing
job with the display and making
sure we had the same vision of what
it would look like in the end. She
is creative with her display and
candy options. My guests loved it
and it and so did we! Amy was
always available and quick to
respond to any questions we had
from the first meeting to the day
of the wedding. I would recommend
her to anyone, the candy buffets
are a beautiful and fun touch, and
if you need a go to girl for
planning or someone to help your
day be worry free you wont go wrong
with Amy!
~Mrs. Kassi
Sielski, Married 5.18.12
Amy Bacon,
you are absolutely amazing!!! Thank
you thank you so much for all your
help at Kassi's wedding! We would
probably still be bustling the
dress. You went above and beyond
your job and we are so thankful!
The candy display was gorgeous!!!!
I loved the added touches of color
and peacock feathers. You are truly
great at what you do! You rock!
~ Mrs. Calli
Wieters, Sister of the Bride
5.18.12
I would rate a
6.o on Value if I could. Amy is a
clear future star in this field.
She is totally committed to her
clients and the other vendors
involved in the wedding took the
time to pull me aside and say that
she was the single best coordinator
that they have ever worked with.
High praise indeed. She can meet
the client’s
needs and also make the vendors
that she coordinates feel special
too. It created an environment of
all family at the wedding, not
family and vendors. Her candy bar
was elegant and tasty and was well
liked by the guests. I have several
Daughters and it seems that we have
our coordinator all set.
~ Dr. Ron
Gagliano, Father of the Bride

Think of
Celebrations by Amy Bacon as
wedding insurance.
No matter what
goes wrong, she will correct the
problem. In fact, she and her team
are so efficient that you probably
will never know that the problem
happened until after the event is
done and you are thrilled with her
work. If you are willing to spend
so much money on a wedding, how can
you NOT have insurance?!
We hired Celebrations by Amy Bacon
for our wedding on May 12th, 2012.
We hired Amy Bacon for her day-of
services as well as for her
beautiful candy bar, and ended up
getting SO much more than we paid
for. She always emails back within
24 hours and is both sweet and
professional. One of her
personality traits that I most
appreciated is her ability to
immediately assess the needs and
wants of the bride (and bridal
party) and respond to them. She
always made sure my voice was
heard, and she'll never know how
much that meant to me. She was an
intermediary in conflict when
needed, she was a jack of all
trades that preformed every
necessary role you can imagine. She
has an easy-going demeanor and an
ability to calm tensions and solve
problems.
On top of
bringing THREE assistants to help
out in our wedding, her touches
throughout the wedding were felt.
When I forgot my something borrowed
and something blue, she was
prepared to lend me a blue anklet.
She came prepared to the wedding
with a "wedding emergency kit" that
my bridal party and I used many
times throughout the day. She
brought "bride" and "groom" signs
for our sweetheart table. She
surprised my husband and I with an
amazingly decorated bridal sweet
for the wedding night. I could go
on and on.
Don't look any
further. Hire Celebrations by Amy
Bacon and you will be thrilled
beyond any expectations you may
have had!
~ Mrs. Erin
Zink, Married 5.12.12
I am the third
person to be writing a review
concerning Amy on the same wedding!
My daughter (the bride) and husband
have already weighed in, but I wanted
to write as well.
Neither my
daughter nor I lives in the Phoenix
area currently, and we became
overwhelmed at the thought of
handling all the wedding details
ourselves. We loved the idea of a
"Day Of" coordinator and started
researching options.
My daughter and I
spoke to Amy on a joint telephone
call. We started the phone call
thinking that we were just gathering
options, and ended the phone call
absolutely knowing that we wanted Amy
to handle my daughter's wedding day.
Why? Well, Amy was personable and
professional, and she rapidly started
asking such intelligent and
insightful questions that it became
obvious how gifted she was at her
job. By the end of our conversation,
we didn't even have to discuss our
mutual decision to hire her on the
spot; our only concern at that point
was whether Amy would be able to work
us into her deservedly busy
schedule!
As the mother of
the bride, I worked quite a bit with
Amy due to my daughter's various time
commitments as a student. Amy became
our partner in planning and executing
the wedding. She was a tireless
advocate for us in countless ways:
recommending vendors, offering
suggestions, and calming anxieties.
When we ran into a sticky etiquette
situation, Amy not only clarified
what the appropriate etiquette was in
such a case, but she offered to call
up the involved parties and
diplomatically solve the
problem.
Although Amy has a
full schedule, she has the gift of
making her clients feel special and
important. She genuinely loves
weddings and is excited about helping
to plan and execute them. Her
enthusiasm was much appreciated, as
I'm sure vendors in this industry
become a little jaded about wedding
and brides. We ran into at least one
vendor like that, and it put a bit of
a damper on our excitement to have
her act almost bored at our plans. It
might have been that vendor's five
hundredth wedding, but it was my
daughter's first . . . and Amy always
remembered that and acted
accordingly.
Amy was truly
invaluable in producing a detailed
and thoughtful wedding day timeline
for the entire wedding party as well
as the vendors. The timeline alone
was a work of art, and no doubt
represented many hours of work. It
coordinated all the countless details
of a wedding into a logical and
useful format - and provided, for
example, contact information so that
the vendors, the family members, and
the wedding party could all reach one
another if needed.
I loved the way
that Amy interacted with our vendors.
She was always polite and
professional, and genuinely wanted to
make them comfortable. For instance,
she contacted our vendors ahead of
time to firm up logistical details
and timing. That is to be expected.
But Amy went the extra mile and
inquired about any allergies or food
intolerances that our vendors might
have, so that we could be sure they
were fed appropriately on the wedding
day. It is that kind of
thoughtfulness and attention to
detail that makes Amy an absolute
genius at what she does. It is no
accident that two different vendors
took us aside at the end of the day
and told us that Amy was probably the
single best wedding consultant they
had ever had the pleasure to work
with!
Amy conducted a
thorough and professional rehearsal
the day before the wedding that
resulted in a more relaxed and
polished wedding ceremony. By the end
of the rehearsal, everybody knew
exactly what they would be doing
during the ceremony. This is an
important service, and one that is
often being skipped by today's
officiants. I've been in two weddings
in the past 18 months, and am
absolutely convinced that both of
them went so much more smoothly
because of a good rehearsal the day
25before!
Amy and her team
seemed to be everywhere on the day of
the wedding, taking care of the
numerous details that the rest of us
were too busy to do. (Thank you,
Angel and Patrice!!) They were the
ones: who ran to Starbucks for the
wedding party; who offered to get
medicine for a sick flower girl; who
bought heel inserts so that a
bridesmaid's new shoes would fit; who
ran to Men's Wearhouse to pick up
shoes that had been left out of an
order; who arranged the escort cards
at the reception site; who placed the
wedding programs on each guest's
seat; who pinned on the corsages and
boutonnieres; who provided ice water
to our vendors on a hot day; who
offered us breath mints; who made
sure the bride and groom had
something to eat; who prevented my
daughter's wedding cake from getting
accidentally contaminated with an
allergen. In fact, I am positive that
I don't even know everything they did
on our daughter's wedding day, but I
know that they worked tirelessly to
make sure things went as smoothly as
humanly possible.
In summary, Amy is
a talented, experienced, hard-working
wedding consultant who is excellent
at what she does. She is also a kind
and generous human being who will
genuinely care about you, your
family, and your wedding. We consider
ourselves very blessed to have found
her, and wish her the enormous
professional success that she so
richly deserves.

Amy did an amazing
job. Not only were the decorations
beautiful but she was extremely
professional and nice. Her candy bar
was the hit of the graduation. I
would recommend her services to
everyone.

Amy and her team
are the best! We were able to relax
and enjoy the day with our family and
friends. I don't know how anyone can
do it without a wedding planner, and
Amy goes above and beyond to make the
day special. My daughter says Amy is
unflappable and she handles
everything with a smile! She is super
organized and ready for anything. My
guests loved her too.

Amy goes above and

~Dr. Mario
Howell, Married 5.5.12
WOW!!!! Where do I
even begin! I feel a little
overwhelmed doing this review because
Amy was THE MOST professional,
amazing, humble, inspirational,
helpful, enthusiastic, mindful,
motivational, detail-orientated
person I have ever known, and I was
blessed enough to have her as my
planner/day-of-coordinator! Our
journey began through Facebook and
what a fantastic beginning it had!!
My fiancé (at the time)
and I had the wonderful opportunity
to be in a contest to have a free
candy buffet at our wedding. It was a
tough contest but we were the lucky
winners and little did I know what a
monumental occurrence was about to
take place. When Amy & I met, she
wanted to get an idea of what I was
envisioning for the candy buffet. We
met and I absolutely loved her!
Though still I felt that I had
everything under control for the
planning. A couple of months later, I
was lying in bed trying to unwind
from a crazy day and Amy just posted
her "Who List" (on Facebook), it
simply went over details of any
wedding and "who" would help
coordinate to make sure everything
was properly executed. After each
question I got a little more freaked
out because I had no idea how or who
would properly execute and oversee
that each detail was properly
handled. By the end of the list, my
heart was racing and woke up my
fiancé to tell him we are
hiring Amy Bacon to help with our
wedding. He was so confused and just
mumbled "alright". The following day,
I called Amy and asked her to help
and she was more than excited to take
on our wedding.
I had a few
hiccups prior to the wedding and each
time I would call Amy frantically,
although, I really tried to have my
big-girl pants on, I soon found
myself crying and trying to calm
down. Amy ALWAYS returned my calls
and was so calm and reassured me that
everything would be great and you
know what it was more than great, it
was absolutely amazing! I needed a
last minute seamstress; Amy found one
for me within hours! I needed a
fill-in flower girl; Amy found one
with-in an hour. I needed misc stuff
done for the candy buffet, Amy had
options upon options. Never did Amy
say she couldn't do anything, she
always called me to cheer me up and
to help with ANY situation. She
embraced challenges and looked at no
job ever being too difficult or
impossible to do. Amy sent out an
extensive and detail-orientated
timeline for the bridal party and
vendors to follow, so that everyone
was on the same page. Over and over
again, my bridal party said "man that
Amy chic knows what she is doing". I
just said "absolutely" with the
biggest smile on my face.
The day of our
wedding, Amy was at the site by 7am
(ish) setting up for the outside
ceremony, and I do need to include
the weather forecast for that day was
102 degrees....YUCK!!! Amy was
setting up and did such a wonderful
job with the ceremony and reception.
One of her team members, Gail, came
to my house and did a Starbucks run @
7:30am for myself and bridesmaids and
it was MUCH needed!!! When I arrived
to the ceremony/reception site, Amy
greeted me with a smile. She made
sure my husband-to-be was nowhere in
sight and she quickly guided me to
where I needed to go. The ceremony
was blissful, magical, and beyond
amazing! Everything was so emotional
as I felt all the love and happiness
that was all around me.
The time between
the ceremony and reception was
limited and on a tight time frame,
but again, Amy & her team came to
the rescue to make sure all the
family shots were taken and the
communication between the
photographers was concise and
professional so that nothing was
missed. Amy purchased hand-held spray
misters the day before to help with
the hot weather & boy did they
help! If at anytime I needed a dab of
gloss, Amy or her team was already
holding it out, never did I have to
ask for anything! My glass was always
full and I felt as if I was glowing
inside and out.
Amy did a
wonderful job of making and executing
decisions when needed. Our place card
holders had candy in them, and Amy
decided not to have them out in the
heat. She neatly placed them at each
table and then wrote down each
person's name with the coordinating
table they were to sit at. At
cocktail hour she went around and
simply asked each person's name and
stated what table they would be
sitting at. Everyone raved about Amy
and her team and how wonderful and
helpful they were!
I absolutely loved
EVERYTHING at our wedding and I give
Amy 100% of that credit because if it
hadn't been for her, I would've lost
my mind! Even with an on-site
coordinator, Amy held the fort down
and executed necessary decisions that
would've just had the on-site
coordinator's head spinning.
Seriously, if you are reading this
and are still contemplating on
whether or not to hire Amy, DO IT!!!
She is worth every single cent &
you will thank yourself and your
sanity on your big day!!!! I feel
that I have gained a life-long friend
and owe my magical day to her and her
team! I love you Amy & thank you
for all your hard work to make my day
so incredibly wonderful and
memorable!!

If I could give
Amy more than 5 stars I would. As the
bride, I was hesitant to hire a
wedding planner since I wanted to
keep a tight budget. I talked to many
planners at the beginning and was
going to give up on the idea when I
met Amy!
She was so easy to
work with and helped me through the
entire process of my wedding.
The week of the
wedding, I was not stressed AT ALL! I
had such a great time with my friends
and family the days before our
wedding. I didn't have to worry about
a thing. My friends even joked that I
was way too calm for a bride-to-be! I
knew I was in good hands with Amy and
that she had everything under
control.
Finally, the
wedding day arrives. We ended up
having to move the reception inside
that day due to the weather. From
start to finish the whole wedding was
flawless. Amy and her crew worked
incredibly hard to move the entire
set-up and it couldn't have looked
and felt more beautiful!
Also, someone
stepped on the train of my dress and
it had a huge mark and rip. Amy's
crew came to the rescue, treated the
stain, and sewed the rip in no
time!
All night, I was
able to focus on the awesome food,
drinks, and spending time with
friends, family, and my new
husband!
I could go on and
on with the little and big things
that Amy did for us! If I could go
back, I wouldn't change a thing! I
truly believe Amy and her crew made
our special day better than I could
have ever imagined!
~Mrs. Allison
Swafford, Married 4.14.12
I put 5 stars
because anything less would be
uncivilized. Weather was an issue for
our wedding and we had to move
everything inside the day of. Amy and
her crew took care of everything and
worked their butts off to make sure
we had the best time and the best
wedding. The wedding turned out
better being inside. It was awesome.
My family and friends kept coming up
to me during the wedding and telling
me how good of a job her and her crew
were doing.
I was also impressed with how she
handled and shielded my wife and I
away from any drama. She made sure
that we had the absolute best time
and we did. I don't even think we had
to lift a finger to do anything. If i
needed a refill, it was there. If i
needed anything it was there in my
hands. Very personable and very
professional.

We hired Amy as a
"month of" wedding planner and boy am
I glad we did! With my busy schedule
I was able to meet with Amy only once
before the wedding, however, I feel
like that made no difference at all.
Amy and her assistants we way above
and beyond what I expected in a
wedding planning service. They were
were prepared for ANYTHING at
anytime. The service was unbelievable
and I definitely was spoiled after my
wedding day. From the very beginning
I provided all of my bridesmaids
Amy's contact information for any
questions so I was lessened with the
overwhelming number of texts/calls I
was receiving. Any question I asked
Amy regarding the ceremony,
reception, vendors, etc, she was able
to provide an answer that same day
and would reach out to the vendors
immediately. On the day of Amy
arrived with food trays and water for
myself and my bridesmaids, which was
very much appreciated. She kept in
constant touch with me to ensure I
had everything I needed and that
everything was okay. When one of the
flower girls had an allergic reaction
to the dress, Amy and her assistants
were right there with their
"emergency kit" applying Benadryl to
the little girl and fashioning a
barrier in the dress from tape and
other supplies. I didn't have to
worry about one single thing on my
wedding day because of Amy and her
team. She is a god-send and I would
recommend her to any bride or person
planning any type of event. She knows
what she's doing and how to handle
any situation, good or bad.

I'm writing this
review as Mother of the Bride. My
daughter has already posted her own
review about how thrilled she was to
have Amy there taking care of
everything. We originally hired Amy
as our 'month of" coordinator but
looking back, I wish I had just hired
her from the very beginning to plan
the wedding. Amy is a professional.
She loves what she does and she is
very good at it. You really don't
fully appreciate everything a
planner/coordinator does until after
the event. Celebrations by Amy Bacon
is worth hiring as your wedding
planner because you're pretty much
assured that your wedding will be
organized and planned with the utmost
care. From the moment I spoke to Amy,
I knew right away that she deeply
cared about making my daughter's
wedding special. On the day of the
wedding, everyone kept complimenting
me on how wonderful, beautiful and
special my daughter's wedding was.
Well, it was all thanks to Amy. It
was largely because of her that my
daughter's wedding turned out so
well.
Amy was always
available to answer questions no
matter how silly they seemed, she was
flexible with her time and met with
me when it was convenient for me even
though she wasn't feeling well that
day, she always had a back-up plan
for any contingency and her
organizational skills are stellar.
Amy can juggle multiple "to-do's"
very well. She created a timeline so
my daughter's very large wedding
party knew what was going on, she
coordinated all the vendor deliveries
and pickups, she completely handled
everything at the ceremony and
reception venue so neither my
daughter nor I had to lift a finger
to do anything.
So if you're a parent or a bride and
you're unsure about hiring a planner,
I urge you to make room in your
budget and hire Celebrations by Amy
Bacon. She and her staff are clearly
the most important vendor you can
have at your wedding because Amy will
bring it all together in a way that
makes you - whether you're the bride
or the mother of the bride - look
good.

Celebrations by
Amy Bacon provided the candy buffet
at our recent wedding. She was able
to tailor the buffet to fit our wants
and needs, including the number of
people we wanted to serve and the
colors included. She was also able to
provide us with Rice Krispie treats
to go along with the candy buffet -
they were perfect!! The table looked
amazing as well, with decorative tags
and pretty crystal candy dishes. I
think Amy does a wonderful job with
her candy buffets, and would
recommend her to anyone looking for
easy wedding favors!!

Oh where to
begin... We originally met with Amy
Bacon to do a Candy Buffett. Low and
behold my fiancé and I
fell in love with her wedding
planning services! When we met Amy
she was very humble and super sweet!
We wanted to sign a contract right
there but she stated that she likes
for her potential clients to think
about everything and give it a day or
so and then decide. This was because
we met her at a wedding expo where
everything you see you want to buy.
We were not even out of the parking
lot and I looked at my
fiancé and I said "I
really like Amy!!! What do you
think???" He stated "Whatever makes
our wedding day your dream go for
it!" (Okay so maybe he didn't say it
like that but something like that) So
that night we called Amy and made
arrangements to have her as our "Day
of Planner". BEST decision I made!
Just 2 months before my wedding day I
lost my dream venue! I thought that
my dream day was ruined and I did not
know where to start with finding a
new one in the middle of March with
the same price tag! I called Amy's
cell phone hysterically crying
begging her to help me. She stated
"Calm down, no stress, give me 3 days
and I will find you something!" and
she did!!! Not only did Amy find
"something" she found a venue that
blew my previous venue out of the
water! Amy did all this and none of
it was even in our contract it was
all done out of pure kindness! I
continued to call or text Amy for the
next few months just to vent or ask
her opinion and every time she made
me feel like I was her only Bride
that she was working with. She
returned every text, phone call or
Facebook message promptly. Everything
was falling into place until I lost
my bartender a week before our
wedding. Again, I called Amy and
asked her if she knew anyone. Yet
again, Amy stated "Angel, give me a
few days and I promise we will figure
this out!" Amy had us a new bartender
within 24 hours!
Fast forward to the day of the
wedding....
I thought the day of my wedding was
going to be spent in sweatpants
decorating my venue sweating and
running around like a chicken with my
head cut off. BUT... I hired Amy
Bacon!!! I woke up on March 17th 2012
in my hotel room and enjoyed a
wonderful breakfast with one of my
Bridesmaids! Followed by 5 fun hours
of laughter and getting ready with my
Matron of Honor, Bridesmaids, and my
mom!!! None of us had to lift a
finger! As I was sitting in my room
getting my make-up and hair done I
had a knock on the door!!! One of
Amy's wonderful assistance came by to
see if we needed any food or
Starbucks! She stated if we needed
ANYTHING to let her know! What a
great feeling! I felt like a
Celebrity!
As we all arrived
to the venue I wanted to just cry!
Not because I was about to marry my
best friend and see all of my friends
and family but because Amy made all
of my wedding dreams come true!!! Amy
made sure my groom was nowhere in
site as we took a few pictures and
she made sure I was as happy as I
could be! If I said "Do you have any
mints?" Before I could finish the
sentence she pulled out TWO different
flavors! My guests and family raved
over how professional and amazing Amy
is! She is still a top topic of
conversation when I ask "What was
your favorite part about my
wedding???". Nothing about my wedding
as "traditional" and Amy understood
just how I wanted everything to flow
and never said "Well one time I had a
bride..." She listened to what I had
to say and made it happen! I found
out the day after my wedding Amy had
another wedding within 12 hours after
mine! I never even knew this! Amy
ALWAYS made me feel as if MY WEDDING
WAS HER ONLY WEDDING. Amy will always
be a close friend of mine from here
on out!
Thank you Amy Bacon! You are one of
the most inspiration women I have
ever met!

When I first met
Amy Bacon I wasn’t
looking to hire a wedding planner, in
fact I had no clue what one did.
However, she helped me to feel at
ease looking at my first dress and
introducing me to someone who could
help my Maid of Honor and I try it
on, that I honestly thought Amy
worked for the dress shop that was at
the Bridal Show we were attending.
Even before I hired her she had given
me so many ideas and ways to create
my perfect day. I was so excited to
learn more after buying the dress
that looked so perfect on me, I ran
home and couldn’t
stop talking about Amy Bacon and how
we needed to have her help us plan
our wedding. My fiancé
(now husband, YAY!) said he would
meet her and learn
more…. Amy was not
only wonderful at giving us ideas and
helping us create a vision of our
perfect day, but was super patient
with our son… he
even calls her the Amy
“the candy
lady†now.
Our plan was to be
married in 2013, unfortunately we
needed to change the date to be
married within just a few months due
to family situations. Amy told us to
calm down and relax, while she called
not only all the vendors we had
already met with, but also had our
next steps already in process and how
to make it happen. Amy Bacon took so
much time to create, plan and truly
understand our needs. Even when
disaster strikes and timelines change
or the world spun out of control we
always knew we could contact Amy and
she would fix it. I cannot honestly
tell you how many times I personally
called Amy crying because I thought
disaster had struck again. All she
had to say was
“breatheâ€
and I felt better, knowing that she
was on my side made all the
difference. Little did we know when
we hired Amy Bacon as a wedding
planner we were hiring a Super
Hero.
Thanks to Amy
Bacon (Celebrations by Amy Bacon),
our wedding day was more than just
beautiful. It was the fairytale
ending and beginning of every little
girls dream…. And
then some.

One of my best
friends recently flew to Arizona for
her baby shower and as I was
finalizing all of the plans with her
mother, I felt as though I needed to
add one more thing to really enhance
the celebration. That's when Amy
Bacon came to mind! I had seen
several photos of her candy buffets
and she was also in the process of
working with one of my brides so I
just knew her creation would be the
perfect addition. Amy was quick to
respond to my inquires, showed up the
day of the event on time and created
a beautiful candy buffet that
everyone just loved. Thanks to Amy
for adding such a fun and memorable
element to the shower!!

I love candy and I
was very happy that I was able to
have candy at our wedding. Amy was
really great. She was very helpful
and her candy buffet looked awesome.
All my friends are still talking
about it!
