Amanda-Louise Knight Weddings, Proposals & Events

As a bride, my experience with Amanda as our wedding planner was nothing short of a catastrophe. It was a decision primarily motivated by our residence outside the UK, but it quickly became a shocking display of incompetence and unreliability. Amanda's sheer lack of organization was painfully evident, most notably during our calls. She displayed a complete disregard for even the most basic details of wedding planning, such as managing guest lists, expenses, timelines, or even handling email correspondence. To call her performance a failure would be a gross understatement. It began with her shockingly inadequate understanding of wedding logistics and an utter disinterest in conducting even the most rudimentary research about our local area. We made countless attempts to provide feedback, via WhatsApp, emails, and Zoom calls, and urged her to improve communication, but she consistently failed to take the initiative. Instead, we found ourselves constantly chasing her for updates and information. We were forced to schedule numerous Zoom calls, each initiated by us, and repeatedly had to request that she follow a structured agenda. Shockingly, even the venue staff shared our frustrations, citing Amanda's incomprehensible emails, nonsensical schedules, and repetitive, bewildering questions. Our guests were similarly vexed, as they found themselves responding to her queries multiple times, causing considerable embarrassment. Furthermore, Amanda's alarming lack of proactivity extended to her dealings with suppliers—she didn't even source most of them—guests, and all the intricate aspects of wedding planning. Throughout the entire process, she demonstrated an unsettling level of unreliability. Her constant mistakes not only cost us money but also inflicted headaches and massive stress upon us. Given the sheer magnitude of incompetence, frustration, embarrassment, and financial burden we endured, I strongly advise against entrusting her with any wedding planning responsibilities.

We employed the services of Amanda Louise Knight as a Wedding Planner for our wedding in August 2023, over a 9 month period. Things started positively and Amanda initially sold herself well as a Wedding Planner. However issues began to occur along the process, due to her appearing highly disorganised, having a lack of attention to detail and being unprepared for our calls. The errors were common and consistent, these included getting the wrong the number of guests (we actually paid for guests that were not even attending), incorrect wedding day schedule, sourcing our own drinks vs cash bar, forgetting guest allergies and other very important items. It got to the point where we completely lost confidence in her ability to deliver. This included her duties the day before and day of our wedding day (including her accommodation) which we paid £1150. We were forced to end the wedding planning services with her due to our lack of confidence and requested a refund of the £1150 (less outstanding payment we owed her) for attending pre and wedding day. She refused to refund the money for attending our wedding - even though she never attended. We are now going through small claims court to recover the money. Overall we had a terrible experience and I would definitely not recommend Amanda Louise Knight as a wedding planner.

Amanda was the perfect celebrant. She managed to write our ceremony after just couple conversations & a questionnaire. She accommodated all our requests & guided us when we were unsure. We felt she captured our story, our personalities & our love of each other perfectly with lots light-hearted humour and just enough romance for us. On the day Amanda was warm & helpful She made us both feel comfortable, and she fitted in as part of the family.

Bespoke ceremony our guests loved - Amanda-Louise did a great job of working with us to learn our stories and what we wanted from the ceremony and incorporate them into a personal script. She worked with us right up until the day before the wedding making last minute tweaks and adjustments. Our guests called out how unique the ceremony was,and appreciated the good humor she injected.

Oh, my goodness that service was so them, it was beautiful - Linda Woollaston (mother of the groom). It was a beautiful day and ceremony, Mollie looked stunning as always too - Becci Roseff, Chief Bridesmaid Such a beautiful ceremony - Julia Pope What an amazing wedding - Janee Irwin-Davies

I was a photographer at a beautifully led wedding ceremony by Amanda in Dorset back in October. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, making it very easy for me to get the images I needed to make sure my clients were very happy! Amanda allowed me to get in close to get those intimate shots and unique angles. She also gave me a very good briefing as I was hired at last minute and it was far from a traditional wedding ceremony! I would highly recommend Amanda as a wedding celebrant if you are looking for someone professional, caring and will make your ceremony very rememberable :)

Amanda is the most lovely celebrant & we couldn't be more happier that we had chosen her to be a part of our big wedding day which was in October 2021 :) With just days away from our big day, Amanda worked hard in order to prioritise getting our wedding script written up for our ceremony in 1 week which she did & did it perfectly & we are so grateful for all that she has done for us :) She made me & my partner feel very comfortable on the day, we had lots of banter & felt that she captured our love story perfectly & we loved all the other elements which were used in our ceremony from the lighting of candles to remember loved ones & the mixing of unity sand. All of the family & guests commented on how lovely & professional Amanda is & she truly was like one of our family. Me & my partner would just like to say that we would highly recommend Amanda for her services as she is a wonderful celebrant & lovely person all round & can guarantee that you will treasure some great memories. Thank you again Amanda xx

The wedding vows really got to us. Very well written and they revealed to me how important they both are to each other – Chris & Emily. The wedding ceremony was so special, it was so nice to have both your heritages incorporated - Steve & Nicky WOW, Amanda-Louise the speeches & the emotions – such a beautiful and memorable wedding service - Natasha Loved the speeches, brought tears to our eyes. Seeing the knots being tied and the honey and walnut ritual was great to see. Such a wonderful ceremony - the Skinner Family The wedding ceremony was beautiful and personal. I loved the tying of the knot and how all the family was involved - Lisa Mason & Phil Nutman

We booked Amanda-Louise to be our celebrant and what an amazing day it was! Amanda’s communication is second to none and I never felt as though I had to chase for any responses or updates, which made the experience stress free. On the day of our wedding, Amanda greeted me before I went into the ceremony room and assured me everything from the layout to the guests arrival had gone to plan and we were ready to start the ceremony. We wanted to include traditions from mine and my partners heritage (British and Greek) and Amanda captured the balance perfectly. My partners family were amazed to see Greek traditions included in our ceremony, which gave it that special touch. The ceremony (completely written by Amanda) was so personal and was everything we could have hoped for. Amanda was absolutely brilliant and went above and beyond for me and Zakk. Amanda does a variety of ceremonies, so we will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you so much for making our day simply perfect.
