Connie is amazing! She did such a great job with my wedding. She helped me through the whole process gave me such great ideas. I really dont think I could have asked for anything better. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!

Connie was extremely patient and so easy to work with. She was willing to help us as little or as much as we needed, and did not judge our non-traditional views. She was extremely knowledgeable. I just can't say enough good things about her after having several bad experiences with others. She also provides wedding planning services, and if we had found her sooner we would have loved to have her do that for us as well because she had a lot of good ideas and connections.

Connie was a HUGE help with planning our wedding. We booked her about a year and a half before the wedding! I met with multiple planners and knew she was the best. From start to finish she came through every time and exceeded our expectations! She held our hands every step of the way and helped us make our day absolutely perfect! Thanks Connie!

Connie was the best wedding planner we could have ever asked for! She was always coming up with ideas to match our theme... She truly helped us have the wedding of our dreams-- in a tight budget! She had great places to recommend for all our of decorating and planning needs, and she ALWAYS respected our plans and wishes for our special day. She went out of her way to make sure we got everything we hoped for at the best price! Connie answered our calls as soon as she could every time we had a question, returning voicemails and emails very promptly. She made herself available all the time. She ran the rehearsal for us, helping things to go very smoothly in practicing for the Big Day. She thought of EVERY detail for us during the wedding week in our pre-wedding meeting, even things we never would have thought of! She provided a very clear, organized timeline for us for the Big Day to make sure we enjoyed every minute of it! :) She worked her butt off at the reception too!! Where there was a lack of help with the food services, she picked up the slack (which she was certainly not required to do). In every area, Connie went above and beyond to make our wedding spectacular, always keeping OUR wants as the focus. Although she always had great ideas to share in helping us with our themed decorations, she never expected us to go only with her ideas, and she never made us feel obligated to pursue any of her recommendations (even though we almost always did since she had the best ideas!). Connie checked on us frequently, and was always looking for deals for us. She saved us so much money and helped with every detail... She even helped make awesome decorations for the reception! We could never say enough good things about our experience with Amore Weddings & Gatherings! Our wedding would absolutely not have been as amazing as it was without all of Connie's help! We would recommend her to anyone!! Thanks for everything, Connie!

I hired Connie for the "day of" services but she helped out a lot before the wedding weekend with tips and suggestions via email, phone and a few meetings. She was always very friendly and professional. Our wedding was at a private home and we had the rehearsal there in addition to the wedding and reception. Connie worked hard through all of it, staying a lot later than she originally planned on to make sure things got done. She always went out of her way to make sure we were happy and everyone at the wedding said everything seemed like it ran very smoothly.

I don't even know how I can express how amazing Connie Offenhauser is...but let me try. She was like a replacement mother for the majority of my wedding planning. My mom works long hours and I truly don't do anything without my mother. Connie stepped in and helped with EVERYTHING. She has tons of books, magazines, articles, and resources at her mercy and she utilizes them flawlessly!!!Not only was she our wedding planner, she was our officiant, she was a friend, she was therapist (haha), she really goes above and beyond with her services.She also had my gown preserved which was included in her amazing price.For anyone who thinks a wedding planner is an unnecessary expense, please talk to Connie before you dredge on with wedding planning without her!!!She is an incredibly sweet, caring, and kind woman. Not only was she our wedding planner, she is now a lifetime friend.

I absolutely LOVED working with Connie. She helped me from the begining with picking out all of the rental things we needed (We got married at a historic home on the river, and had to rent EVERYTHING from the tent down to silverware!) She had great ideas that we used to help us save money.We had a situation with the rental company the day of the rehearsal and I was freaking out =) and Connie handeled it ALL and got it taken care of right away! On the day of the wedding she was there super early and made sure all the flowers, cake, etc. was placed just right, and then after the ceremony she made sure the guests knew where to go for snacks and drinks while we did pics. When we were taking photos after the ceremony she followed us around for a few shots and made sure everything/everyone was posed right, and gave great suggestions for some great shots. She basically made the whole day flow perfectly. So, in a nut shell, I would DEFINATELY recommend her!
