AMANDA & RANDY
"If you’re searching for a team that will work closely with you to uncover your vision and help make pure magic happen, Butterfly Effect Weddings is the team you want by your side.
As a busy and disorganized bride, I needed a team who would help me stay on track and Amalia and Jenna absolutely delivered! They have a true passion for wedding design and consulting, and it shines through in every detail. From our very first call down to the final touches, they produced fresh ideas, sourced and vetted vendors, created a detailed day of timeline + checklist, and designed our wedding logos and stationery, including welcome cards, church programs, dinner menus, signature drink signage and more! I had so many crazy/ last-minute ideas, and they were always just one text/ phone call away, ready to help me focus and refine every detail into my dream wedding. I can’t thank them enough for their vision, creativity and beautiful energy.
We couldn’t be happier to have worked with them on our special day and we couldn’t recommend them more!"
MICHELLE & ANDREW
"This is a belated, but well-deserved review for Jenna and Amalia at The Butterfly Effect. We used their services as Day-of Coordinators at XIX in November, and while the venue provided its own coordinator, our wedding—and the entire planning process—would not have been the same without them. These ladies are kind, organized, and provided invaluable support. In the months leading up to the wedding, they helped keep me on track and made the planning feel far less overwhelming. They were especially helpful acting as liaisons between us and the venue/venue coordinator. Several things we were initially told “no” about were ultimately facilitated thanks to Amalia and Jenna. Their willingness to advocate for us and find solutions made such a difference. Their support always felt unlimited.
I especially loved our Zoom sessions where we could talk through details, brainstorm ideas, and work through any questions. Their experience helped provide perspective when we were planning. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early and immediately got to work ensuring everyone was set up and had what they needed. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and the way they handled anything that came up throughout the day. If I could change anything, it would only be that I wish we had asked them to stay a little longer into the evening—but the few late-night hiccups we experienced were unexpected and ultimately venue-related.
The moment I appreciated them most was right before it was time for me to walk down the aisle. Not only did their mini-fan absolutely save me, but their calm presence and kind words made such a difference in that emotional moment. Anyone would be lucky to have The Butterfly Effect bring a touch of magic to their wedding day."
NICOLE & CASEY
"Hiring Jenna and Amalia was absolutely the best choice I made for my wedding!!!! They truly understood my vision (and then some) and did a great job repurposing flowers and other props throughout the night!
They were a total blast and so supportive the whole night! And best of all they were two of the nicest people I've met. If you're considering a day of coordinator, HIRE THEM!!!!
JESSICA & DEVON
"We cannot recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough. Amalia and Jenna were incredible throughout the entire planning process, but they really shined on the day of our wedding. They stayed calm, kept everything organized, and anticipated issues before we even had a chance to stress about them. That made it possible for us to actually enjoy the day without stress.
One moment that really stands out is our ceremony. We were unsure how it should play out, but they stepped in with confidence and made everything run smoothly. It was such a relief to have them guiding us through it.
As a queer couple, it was especially meaningful to work with coordinators who are a queer couple themselves and truly understand the unique challenges that come with planning a queer wedding. For example, it felt very reassuring to be able to make untraditional choices that felt right for us without worrying about judgment or misunderstanding. Representation matters, and they made us feel seen and supported the entire time.
We would absolutely recommend Amalia and Jenna to other LGBTQ+ couples, and to anyone looking for coordinators who are truly professional and reliable."

STEPHEN & RYAN
"Jenna and Amalia were great to have as our wedding coordinators. They sat down with us to go over all of our planning details, and helped us organize everything we needed for the day to go smoothly. They helped us create signs and menus, and were positive and nice to talk with throughout the whole process.
On the day of, they made sure everything was running smoothly, and assisted us in getting everything set up and our vendors organized. I would recommend them, and am so grateful for their help in making my wedding day a great success."
LORAN & DANIELLE
"From the very first meeting with Jenna and Amalia, I knew they were the ones to help plan my special day. I didn’t need to meet with anyone else — I clicked with them immediately. Their warmth, kindness, and creativity put me completely at ease, and throughout the planning process they always came prepared with thoughtful ideas and solutions. Our planning meetings honestly felt more like I was just hanging out with my best friends than a meeting with my wedding planners.
On the day of my wedding, I was full of nerves and anxiety — until I saw them step out of the car. In that moment, all of the stress lifted. Jenna and Amalia have such a calming presence; they anticipated every detail, solved problems before they even reached me, and made sure I could be fully present and enjoy my day. And honestly they are just FUN to be around.
My wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and so much of that is thanks to them. Somewhere between the planning meetings, the endless texts, and the joy of the wedding day, Jenna and Amalia became more than planners — they became people I want in my life forever. My family absolutely fell in love with them too; we’re already planning dinners and future hangouts. That’s the kind of impact they have — they don’t just plan weddings, they become part of your story.
I cannot recommend The Butterfly Effect Weddings enough. If you want planners who will not only execute your vision flawlessly but also make the entire process joyful and stress-free, Jenna and Amalia are it. They will forever hold a special place in my heart."
MAYA & STEVEN
"Jenna and Amalia were absolutely amazing leading up to and through our wedding weekend. In the weeks beforehand they did a great job keeping us organized, tying up loose ends, mocking up decor, communicating with many vendors, and finding us a last minute videographer within budget. We had many moving parts during our wedding weekend and they were behind the scenes ninjas making sure that everything looked stunning and people were where they needed to be. From the first meeting we could feel their authenticity and care for making our wedding everything we wanted it to be, and they delivered that and more.
They always made themselves available to us throughout the process and never made us feel like we were behind or unprepared though sometimes we definitely were. Our wedding weekend had numerous events, cultural moments, vendors, and moving parts especially because it was a summer camp-Indian-Peruvian-fusion wedding, but nothing seemed to dim this team’s ambition. Jenna’s enthusiasm and excitement were always a source of light and encouragement for us in some of the tougher days leading up to the wedding and Amalia’s cool demeanor and get stuff done attitude moved everything along with ease.
Despite the tight schedule and challenges we threw at them, Jenna and Amalia made both me and my husband feel grounded after every interaction. Seeing their smiling faces in the crowd during the weekend events was always a source of comfort. They make an incredibly balanced and capable team. We highly recommend them for any weddings coming up! PS they are great with pups!"
ROB & ALISON
"If you’re thinking about a day of coordination team and you’re unsure or think you can do it all yourself, take my advice and DON’T WAIT to hire The Butterfly Effect Weddings as your team. You will not regret it!! When we first began planning our wedding, hiring a day of coordinator never crossed our minds. As we started to get closer to the big day, we quickly realized that was a mistake and panic began to set in. I frantically searched the Brides of the Hudson Valley Facebook page and googled some of the names that popped up and one of the first I came across was The Butterfly Effect Weddings. The name resonated with me first because it is indicative of serendipity and comforted me to think that maybe I wasn’t too late to hire someone, maybe I was doing it exactly when I was supposed to. Then as I started reading about Amalia and Jenna, for reasons I can’t explain, I felt an instant connection and immediately reached out. I was sad to get an out of office response as they were on a very well deserved holiday for the end of December but to my surprise within a few hours, I received a personal response from Jenna saying that they’d like to set up a call. From there, the deal was sealed.
During our first conversation I felt like I could tell them anything and that I’d known them my whole life. The level of ease and comfort they provided during one of the most stressful times was overwhelming in the best way. They took calls with me at crazy times during their trip to the Philippines and made me feel like I was their only priority while they were also visiting family. Not only did I have faith in their ability to execute on the day efficiently, but given their background in interior design I also had complete faith that every detail would be considered and executed with intention. Fast forward to the day of our wedding - the day simply wouldn’t have gone as smoothly nor look as amazing if it weren’t for Amalia and Jenna and their abilities. My new husband, my mom, MiL, Bridal Party, everyone were completely impressed with them and knew they could go to them for anything during the day/ night. They made sure that every item we ordered for our wedding was collected and brought back to our room and not a single thing was missed. They even made sure to get the Christmas tree backdrop we were planning on set up when we forgot.
I cannot thank Amalia and Jenna enough for all they did to ensure every vision we had came to life and I cannot wait to continue building on a friendship with them."
BREE & ANT
"My DOC ended up being overbooked so Amalia (and Jenna) got called on to coordinate my wedding. I was really nervous since I really didn’t know anything about her or her business but it ended up being the best thing to happen! Amalia (and Jenna) not only answered all 1,001 of my questions, but joined zoom calls on a days notice just to calm my nerves. I honestly did not think about a single thing the day of my wedding and everyone had a great time."
NIKKI & BEN
"Amalia and Jenna are incredible! They helped perfectly plan our wedding and we couldn’t be more grateful. Amalia & Jenna were organized, accessible, had great ideas and vision, and helped bring our special day to life. They were amazing and SO easy to work with.
We couldn’t have done it without Jenna & Amalia and could not recommend them more! Thank you Amalia & Jenna for everything you did for us."
CHRISTINE & JOE
"With planning a wedding in 3 months, I am so glad I was connected with Amalia (and Jenna). I knew I wanted a more low key wedding and definitely did not realize how much work still went into that! She helped me with timelines, kept me on track and organized, helped with decorative signs and answered my many questions and offered opinions! Amalia (and Jenna) even scheduled phone calls which I was very thankful for so I didn’t fall too behind. She also brought to my attention many details that I probably wouldn’t have thought about.
The day of the wedding would not have come together without Amalia and Jenna- they set everything up exactly how I had pictured and helped pack everything up at the end of the night. It was so nice to not have to worry the day of the wedding because I knew I was in good hands. Very highly recommend!"
KAYLA & MIKE
"I cannot recommend Amalia (and Jenna) enough! A DOC was a later add on for us, but we could not have done it without them! From the very beginning, they were incredibly organized, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was nothing short of perfect.
Their attention to detail was amazing, and they helped alleviate so much stress by handling all the logistics seamlessly. We had so many moving parts with our venue, vendors, and guests, but Amalia & Jenna made everything flow effortlessly.
Their professionalism combined with their warmth and positive attitude made them an absolute pleasure to work with. On the big day, they were there every step of the way, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we could focus on enjoying the moment. We truly couldn’t have done it without them. We even had other vendors telling us how amazing they were!
If you're looking for someone who will make your wedding vision come to life and take the pressure off your shoulders, Amalia is the person you need!"
PIOTR & SYRILE
"I don’t even know where to begin with Amalia and Jenna—they were truly a godsend. From the moment we started working together, they made me feel so at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but they kept me grounded, calm, and focused on what really mattered. On the day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
Everything flowed perfectly—from the timeline to the tiniest details—and I know that’s because of their hard work behind the scenes. I was able to be fully present and actually enjoy every second of the day. Our wedding was truly flawless, and I owe so much of that to Amalia and Jenna. They didn’t just help plan the day—they made it feel effortless and full of joy. I’m endlessly grateful."
KELSEY & SEAN
"We cannot thank our wedding coordinators Amalia & Jenna enough for everything they did to make our big day absolutely perfect. From the moment we started working with them, they were organized, calm, and incredibly detail-oriented. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly—not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire planning process.
On the day of, they handled everything flawlessly. Amalia & Jenna made sure every little detail was set up just the way we envisioned, kept things running right on schedule, and was such a calming presence throughout the day. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment.
And when the night was over, they were still working hard—helping clean up, packing things away, and making sure nothing was left behind. We honestly don’t know what we would’ve done without them. If you’re looking for coordinators who will treat your wedding like it’s their own, look no further. They are an absolute gem and the reason our day was as magical and stress-free as it was. Forever grateful!
We love you guys - 10/10 recommend!!!!"
JESS & MIKE
"Amalia and Jenna were SUPERB!!! I am sooo happy I found her to work with. She helped me leading up to the wedding and was my DOC. Communication with her was wonderful leading up to the wedding and on wedding day she had my back, making sure everything went smoothly. I’m so happy!
We had multiple calls where she made sure I had everything covered and reminded me of things I would have never thought of. She designed beautiful signs for me and had them printed the day before the wedding bc I ran out of time to do it myself. She was always quick to respond and her and Jenna had amazing input on everything I needed and more. The day of the wedding I didn’t have to worry about a thing and she and Jenna were right there the whole time, with a smile, making sure everything was perfect!"
