Amore Events by Cody, LLC

Cody is really wonderful. She was super helpful, professional, and friendly. Cody went out of her way to do us favors which really made us feel like she cared about us and our special day :) She helped us get a great rate on flowers, hooked us up with free chairs, etc...

Cody was also a really great help on the wedding day itself. She setup the entire reception by herself, and still made sure all of our vendors were doing what they were supposed to. I would recommend her to anybody!

Hire Cody now; don't delay. She is FANTASTIC!!! Cody is sweet, yet efficient. She is flexible, yet organized. She is experienced, yet innovative. Our daughter's wedding was perfect and much of the credit goes to Cody.

Cody was a lifesaver! As the date approached, we realized we needed help pulling everything together, and started looking for professional options so that we and our loved ones could fully enjoy the event.... and we found Cody! Cody was responsive, professional, flexible and she was well worth every penny! She helped pull everything together in the weeks leading up to the event, and even helped me add little touches from her beautiful inventory of wedding decorations! She coordinated with all the vendors and even helped find a last minute florist who was amazing! Cody was friendly with everyone, as well as being efficient. Not only was she quick to pick up on my vision, she was able to add to it and execute it fully and beautifully. We had a wonderful day, overall experience, and are sooooo glad to have worked with Cody. We recommend her highly!

Cody's services were invaluable. We could not have done it without her. Her calm manner and organization made the day go off without a hitch!

Amore Events made the wedding planning experience easy and enjoyable.The actual ceremony and reception were perfect. We had a fabulous wedding with the hep of Cody and her group. We will have pleasant memories for a lifetime.

I truly can't say enough kind things about Cody. Our wedding would not have been the same without her! Since the first time we met her she was so helpful and caring. She was there with whatever we needed!! She became and still is part of our family! She made a wonderful timeline which helped to make the day run very smoothly! I did not have one worry through out my entire wedding planning, thanks to her! Even though our wedding is over, I know she is someone we will stay close with!!! Thank you for making our special day amazing!!! We love you!!!!!! :)

My husband and I could not be more pleased! Cody is helpful, creative, enthusiastic, and worth every penny!

Using Amore Events by Cody was the best choice we made when planning my daughter's wedding. Her thoughtfulness, creativity, attention to details, and organization helped make a beautiful and stress free day! Cody really treats her brides like family and goes above and beyond to make sure their day is special!

Cody planned my September 2011 wedding in Charlottesville, Virginia. I initially hired her for "Day Of" services but she wound up doing so much more!

I never thought I'd be the kind of person to hire a Wedding Planner. I like to think of myself as low maintenance and pretty organized. However, everyone I talked to (past brides, friends, family) said the additional help would be worth both the money and the peace of mind.

They were completely right. Cody fulfilled so many roles in the months leading up to my wedding: ringmaster, negotiator, investigator, financial advisor, cheerleader, and confidant. She balances professionalism with warmth and adapts to your personal style. Ever-organized, she provides suggestions but is never pushy and genuinely takes an interest in you and your wedding.

I interviewed several other planners - some of them with flashier websites and more well-known names - before landing on Cody. I'm so glad I chose the path I did. Not only are her rates more reasonable, she saved me hundreds (if not more) in vendor fees with her cost-cutting suggestions. Plus, she was way more down-to-earth and sweet than anyone I met.

In short, Cody "gets it" and you'll be lucky if she gets you, too. :)

She is wonderful!

The GREATEST thing about Cody is you get so much for your money!
She has the experience of UVA running their events, large, small
no detail is too small. She knows flowers, the vendors and is just on top
of everything. But I must say that what truly separates her from
everyone else is her kindness. She is so sweet under pressure.
We fell in love with her and how she was able to put all the balls in the
air and make Kings Family Vineyard so wonderful is due too her.
She is the BEST in town, if she is available hire her!

Working with Amore Events by Cody was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding preparations. We had our wedding ceremony in one of the Pavilion Gardens at UVA and the reception at King Family Vineyard in Crozet. This meant that Cody had to work with two sites on one day, coordinating décor, table and chair placement, transportation and guest arrival, wedding vendor timelines and all of our special requests on top of these. When we met Cody we already had relatively specific ideas in place for our wedding. We were blown away by Cody’s ability to take those ideas and make them a reality with results that were even more beautiful than we had envisioned. We found Cody to be generous with her time, responding quickly to any concerns we had and always making the effort to ensure that we were communicating clearly. Amore Events by Cody is also one of the few wedding professionals we found to be truly concerned with our budget. Cody’s connections and experience in the area brought us to vendors that were not previously on our radar and in many cases saved us hundreds of dollars while still ensuring perfect results.

On the day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch and we were able to just sit back and enjoy our day. We continue to receive compliments from our guests on how beautiful and fun it was. We recommend Amore Events by Cody for your wedding coordination needs without hesitation. Cody is exceptionally organized, attentive to detail and creative. She is so well suited to this task because she clearly loves what she does. Make sure to book with Amore Events by Cody before someone else does!

Cody Grannis was an incredible coordinator for our wedding 9/3/11 on Lydia Mountain. My husband, Jason and I could not have done it without her. We started out planning the entire wedding ourselves and quickly found it overwhelming. Cody stepped in and gave us her expertise and her taste fit in perfectly with ours!! She has a gorgeous inventory!
Cody gave us immediate attention whenever we had a question or concern. She met with us many times during the past 6 months to go over details and ideas. She dealt with things we never even considered...being we are first timers. It made the process bareable because it does get stressful.
The days leading up to the wedding, Cody made certain to be in touch with all our vendors and confirm arrangements. She was completely organized and efficient! We knew it would be everything we wanted because of her hard work for us.
Cody, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And we love you as a friend and are excited to carry on a relationship with you after our incredible day. You made it perfect!!

The best decision you will make in planning your perfect wedding will be to hire Cody. She orchestrated our daughter's wedding on the day that Hurricane Irene struck the area. Despite the extreme challenges and adverse conditions caused by the weather, Cody managed to stay one step ahead and pulled off an amazing event that everyone present said was just wonderful. If she can do that then there is nothing she cannot do!

From beginning to end Cody was worth her weight in gold. She really listened to our vision of what we wanted, assembled a great team, and found endless and creative ways to stay within budget and on time. Throughout the process Cody was always cheerful, kind, thoughtful, and fun to work with, so that what could have been an ordeal turned out to be exactly the opposite. Her organization skills are just amazing and time and again she went the extra mile and then even more.

If you chose Cody, and she choses you, you will be lucky indeed. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I cannot say enough about Cody Grannis of Amore Events. At every step of the way she offered wonderful advice and had great ideas about everything from the big stuff, to all the little details. Cody is that terrific combination of being extremely easy going yet incredibly organized. She kept us on track with timelines, coordinated between the vendors, and did all of those things we wouldn’t have thought or known to do. Our wedding was supposed to be outside, but due to bad weather, it had to be moved inside at the last minute. Cody handled everything—all the changes and moving around and confusion—beautifully, allowing us to relax. It turned out to be a wonderful wedding, so much fun, and I attribute that to Cody’s planning, ideas, and grace under fire. Organizing a wedding is really overwhelming, and hiring Cody was the best decision we made. She is extremely talented at what she does, a total joy to work with, and went above and beyond at every point. I really can’t recommend her enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Cody at Amore Events for our big, traditional wedding in Charlottesville, VA. Cody was fabulous to work with, and we could not be happier with the services we received. We were very impressed with her professionalism in handling the event, her ability to be flexible with our ever-changing plans, and her responsiveness and attention to detail throughout the planning process.

Cody started out as our day-of coordinator, but we were so impressed with her that we hired her to finalize the design of the reception hall (UVA Alumni Hall). It was exactly how we imagined our wedding day would be but better! She knew how to take random thoughts/wants and coordinate it beautifully. Even after the big day, Cody was coordinating payments, shipping gifts, and closing the loop on every last detail while we enjoyed our honeymoon.

Without hesitation, we would recommend our friend Cody Grannis of Amore Events to plan your next big event!

Amazing and beautiful events! Truly talented and fabulous style!

Just read the reviews and you can tell what Cody can do. She works hard for her clients from the start, attending to every detail. She knows how to make the connections that will have you lining up all the perfect wedding vendors for your vision of the day. It's a pleasure to work with her!!

Cody is the totally package advocate for you and your event. She works hard to make your dreams and plans a reality. She goes far and above for her clients. She is professional. She is prompt. But most important she is sweet and caring. Her work is a reflection of her personality. She is that "best friend" that wants you to have the very best and will bend over backwards to see that you get it.

Cody with Amore Events is an amazing coordinator! She has the ability to multi task like no one else. We have worked with her on many weddings & UVA events & she always amazes me. Every client I know that she has worked with has nothing but great things to say. I would recommend her services if you are looking for a flawless experience.

This wedding planner is AWESOME!!

Cody is a DREAM to work with! She exudes enthusiasm and is "on top" of things. I enjoyed coordinating times and places through Cody for our beautiful bride. I was able to keep abreast of any changes though Cody, and keep from "over bugging" our bride. :) I would highly recommend Cody as a Wedding Planner!

I have had the pleasure of working with Amore Events by Cody. The event ran smoothly and we all had a great time doing it. I hope i will be able to work with Cody again in the future.

Want to feel like you are the only bride in the world? Call Cody! Her warm smile and effervescent personality will make you feel like long lost friends. Leave the details to her!

Working with Cody made for the smoothest wedding possible! Even though a hurricane hit on the day of the wedding we worked together, she had al the plans changed and organized, last minute! She helped the bride and every one else there to feel comfortable and not stressed, despite the change of plans. Everybody always knew where to be and what they should be doing, and she organized all the vendors perfectly. I've seen how much work and care she puts into each individual wedding and couldn't recommend her enough!

Cody did a fantastic job handling the details of e&b's wedding day. She kept things moving on time and was great to work with! Her creativity in the reception design really complemented the ambiance of the venue.
