YOUR STRESS-FREE WEDDING STARTS HERE!
​
Before you make any decisions or book a venue, find your wedding planner first! At Amy Varain Weddings, we are here to look out for you.
Every choice you make has a direct impact on the flow, style, and overall budget of your wedding — and we know all the right questions to ask your top venue choices and favorite vendors, so you can book with confidence, knowing each decision supports your vision. Our goal is simple: to help you feel relaxed, confident, and stress-free, while we partner with you to plan your wedding from start to finish — thoughtfully, creatively, and flawlessly.
FIND A PACKAGE THAT FITS YOUR STYLE BEST...
​
While all clients benefit from our Wedding Management package, we find that couples gain the most value — in knowledge, expertise, and cost-saving strategies — through our Partial and Full Service Planning & Design Packages. Together, we’ll create a wedding that reflects your style, personality, and love story.
VENUE SELECTION
Finding the perfect wedding venue — one that aligns with your vision, style, and budget — can feel overwhelming. Yet your venue sets the tone for your entire celebration, influencing everything from décor to logistics to overall budget.
With our guidance, we help you compare options thoughtfully and ensure every detail is considered before making your final decision. Our Venue Consultation includes:
-
Three tailored venue recommendations for your ceremony and reception based on your style, vision, and budget
-
Three venue visits with personalized guidance
-
Preliminary budget estimates for your top 2–3 choices
-
Outline of opportunities and options for each venue
-
Contract review, negotiation assistance, and support with booking your final selection
(This service is an add-on to our Wedding Management package and included with Partial and Full Planning & Design Packages.)

WEDDING MANAGEMENT
Stress-Free Planning, Flawless Execution​
​​​
You may have heard the term “Day-of Coordination,” but the truth is — that doesn’t exist the way most people think. At Amy Varain Weddings, we don’t offer a traditional day-of coordinator because your wedding deserves far more than that.
Wedding Management is designed for couples who are excited to plan their wedding themselves but want the reassurance that every detail will be flawlessly executed on the big day. We handle the logistics, organization, and execution so you can truly enjoy your celebration stress-free. From vendor coordination and timelines to layouts, rehearsals, and day-of management, we ensure nothing is overlooked.
On your wedding day, we take care of every detail behind the scenes, allowing you to walk down the aisle, celebrate, and create unforgettable memories. Our goal is to help you feel like a VIP guest at your own wedding while we manage the rest with precision and care.
Best suited for couples with all-in wedding budgets around $50,000-$65,000
​
Because our Wedding Management services are comprehensive and personalized, we accept a limited number of clients per year to ensure the highest level of attention and care. Schedule a free consultation to see if we’re the perfect fit for your wedding.​

DESTINATION WEDDING is your style if...
DESTINATION WEDDING
Does Palm trees swaying with an ocean view, or snow-capped mountains with nature at your doorstep, or a weekend getaway at a french inspired chateau or vineyard estate excite you? Then a destination wedding may be what you are envisioning for your wedding experience. I am seeing more and more couples wanting to plan an experience, one they can enjoy together with their friends and family. We have helped our couples plan weddings in Maui, Hawaii; Lake Tahoe; Forest Hill; El Dorado County; Sacramento, Sonoma County and more... and what they all have in common is our clients are all traveling to their destination wedding from somewhere else in the world. We are lucky to have worked with clients in Alaska, Canada and the USA and have mastered the destination wedding planning process so you can feel confident and stress-free on your wedding day.
​
We understand the stress of planning a wedding from afar and the feeling of helplessness as you plan sight unseen. We have the knowledge of the wedding industry standards and expectations to assist in vendor selection, review your contracts, help you ask the right questions and come your wedding day... organize, execute and manage your wedding day to bring it all to life. We give you the confidence to plan your destination wedding with us by your side guiding you every step of the way... all the way to "I Do". All our planning packages are available for destination weddings near or far!
