About - Amy E. VanMeter, PBC

Amy VanMeter Events is a full-service wedding planning and coordination firm serving clients in the Northern Shenandoah Valley & portions of Northern Virginia. So, what makes me different?

My business is my passion, born from a love of planning.  Always the methodical "list maker," I felt drawn to use my talents to help brides & grooms celebrate the beginning of their lives together.  This is my full-time job, not a part-time hobby -- and I love it!

My commitment is to provide you unparalleled personal service.  Your wedding will not be one of many events that I'm working on.  I restrict my bookings to two events per month, so that I can provide the high level of service that you deserve.  It is a privilege to share in a couple's wedding.  And, it gives me great pleasure to know that I contributed to the joy and success of the day.      

My goal is an unforgettable and stress-free event every time.  How do I do that? With expertise (11 years of it), resources, natural organizational abilities, a professional demeanor and attention to detail.  These attributes mean peace of mind and wonderful memories for you.     

Professionalism is the foundation of my business and that means a dedication to high ethical standards & continuing education.  As every professional should be, I'm licensed and insured.  I never accept referrals fees or incentives.  My clients are given vendor referrals based on their unique style and budget needs.  I'm committed to knowing what products & services are available for my clients.  So, I regularly attend industry educational and networking meetings.  I'm online many hours every week -- reading articles, blogs & discussions so that I can provide my clients with fresh information.  I've earned the Professional Bridal Consultant designation from the Association of Bridal Consultants, an international professional organization.  I currently serve as a board member and advertising chair for the Shenandoah Wedding Professionals, a regional networking group.  And, I am also a member of the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber of Commerce.

On a personal note, I'm a Georgia peach who relocated to beautiful Winchester, Virginia with my family.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication from the University of West Georgia and in my "previous life" I worked in marketing & public relations.  Aside from planning, I enjoy reading, writing & traveling.
