Thumhart Event Consulting

Amy was hands down THE BEST decision we made in planning our destination wedding on July 7, 2012. Amy is extremely patient and has countless amounts of knowledge in all things wedding related. She listened to each one of our ideas (trust me there were a lot) and effortlessly made them come alive by matching us up with the perfect vendors that shared our vision.
Amy became our wedding planner at the beginning of the planning process. She arranged three days worth of site visits so that we would find the perfect spot to say «I do». Amy coordinated every detail (transportation, hotel, rentals, contracts, A/​V catering, layout, gift bags, etc.) of our rehearsal, welcome dinner, ceremony and reception. Each event was executed flawlessly and our guests had a beyond fabulous time.
Amy was available by phone and email any time we needed her. We always felt the personal attention Amy gave to us. It is very apparent when working with Amy that she loves what she does and is devoted to her clients wants and needs.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives… A huge thank you to Amy for making sure everything went perfectly as planned.

Better late then never, right?
My husband and I were married in July, 2011 at Solage in Calistoga. Amy was our day-​of coordinator and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend her and would be happy to answer any specific questions you have.
Since my husband was living in Napa at the time, we found the venue on our own. From there, Solage gave us a list of wedding coordinators and Amy was on that list. We interviewed a number of other candidates and Amy was the clear winner. Unlike the other candidates, she was warm, friendly, not insane, not over the top, not covered in fake-​bake and plastic surgery… we immediately knew she was the right choice.
Amy helped us find vendors (who were all excellent), helped us work with Solage (which we definitely needed because their on-​site personnel were not great), handled the small amount of extras that we ordered to supplement what Solage had onsite (specific napkins, lighting, extra lounge seating, etc) and did a superb job on the day of the wedding.
My suggestion to engaged couples… get a coordinator! It is money well spent and you will not regret it. Amy was fantastic and I am confident she would do as much or as little as you wanted her to do. I would recommend discussing your expectations right from the beginning– that way it is clear what you want from your coordinator and what your coordinator thinks you want from her.

If you want an amazing event planner, call Amy from Thumhart Event Consulting. I hired her to be my «day-​of» planner for my wedding at Healdsburg Country Gardens, but I can honestly say she was far more than a «day-​of» planner. She helped me with the little things throughout my planning process, like picking out the linens (she has great taste by the way), or coordinating all of our transportation needs. She delivered everything to the site the day before my event (allowing me to relax with friends and family), and made sure all my vendors knew where they were supposed to be and when with a detailed schedule.
Most importantly she was absolutely «on-​it» during our wedding day. She made sure the event flowed seamlessly, but organically. Even my friends and family commented on how amazing she was as keeping everything running smoothly but in a manner that wasn’t disruptive or even very noticeable. She was the master behind the scenes. :)
Not only is Amy great at what she does, but she’s truly an adorable person. She’s sweet, funny and calming (it’s important to have a personality like that around you on such an important day). I just loved having her a part of it – in fact, now that my wedding is over, I miss having a reason to work with her! :)
