About Michelle Amarillo Event Planning
Michelle Amarillo Event Planning
Hello! My name is Michelle and I am the face and heart behind Michelle Amarillo Event Planning (MAEP). A little about me: when I'm not organizing and planning, you can find me hanging out with friends or spending time with my family. I believe that every day must be greeted with a cup (or two!) of coffee. I love traveling, eating dessert first and believe self confidence is a girl’s best accessory. I am a lover of love. I can’t wait to meet you and start working on your once in a lifetime event!
What makes any wedding or event memorable? Moments. When the mother of the bride zips up her daughter’s wedding dress as she’s getting ready, the kiss shared by the newlyweds when no one is looking, the feeling when a guest walks into a reception space that takes their breath away. As owner of Michelle Amarillo Event planning, I take care of the logistics, timelines, design and styling so you never miss a moment.
In three words: Fun, Organized, Resourceful

As a creative project manager who has dreamed of her wedding day for years, I thought handing over my wedding day plans would be difficult, but Michelle quickly proved me wrong. She somehow met my energy with the perfect combination of grace, confidence, and attention to detail, while constantly giving me the reassurance of, “Don’t worry, I’ve got it.” And she DID. She absolutely, 100% did. From the months leading up to the wedding, until the end of the night, I genuinely did not have to worry about a single thing. Michelle took everything, every little detail I cared about, and brought my vision to life so seamlessly. She handled the moving pieces, the timeline, the vendors, the tiny details, and all the things I didn’t even know were happening—and she did it all with so much calm and confidence. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Chalise, too! The two of them were an absolute DREAM team. They worked so seamlessly together and made sure everything was handled before I ever had a chance to think about it. The greatest gift a planner can give you is the ability to actually be present on your wedding day, and Michelle gave me exactly that. I got to be a bride. I got to enjoy my husband, my family, my friends, my dress, the dancing, the little moments, ALL of it—because I knew Michelle had it handled. If you are even slightly Type-A, do yourself a favor and hire Michelle. 😂 And even if you aren't, hire her anyway. She is incredible at what she does, she cares deeply about her couples, and she brought our wedding vision to life better than I could have imagined. Forever grateful to her and Chalise for making our day as seamless and magical as it was. 🤍

We used Michelle for an after wedding event for our daughter. Everything was handled with professionalism and she responded quickly to any requests. Michelle checked in along the way and made sure the details were taken care of. The room was stunning! A fantastic evening had by all! Highly recommend her services!

Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with as our wedding planner. She was so sweet, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire process, and she made everything feel easy and stress-free. She was always responsive, helpful, and willing to answer questions or handle anything that came up. On the wedding day, Michelle handled every issue behind the scenes so smoothly that I never even knew anything had happened. That is exactly what you hope for in a wedding planner. She allowed us to truly enjoy the day without worrying about the details. I am so grateful for her professionalism, calm presence, and care, and I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

Michelle is amazing! She thinks of and takes care of everything. She helped me make decisions for my wedding from the moment I booked her all the way to the day of. She is so well organized and professional and also took the time to get to know me and my husband personally. I am so so appreciative of her and am glad I chose her to be my wedding planner!
