As Seen In

Treat your guests — and yourself — to a relaxed, elegant affair planned and designed by Amy Nichols Special Events. We produce tailored celebrations that reflect your passions and attend to your guests’ every need. It all starts with intimately understanding our couples — a select group of clientele from California and beyond — who we work alongside to plan the best party they’ll ever throw.

We'll take it from here

— Bryan, groom   

“Every detail was completely bespoke, designed for the two of us. I couldn’t believe how many guests told us it was one of the greatest weddings they’d ever been to, though with ANSE at the helm, I’m not surprised!”

— RADHA & PIPER   

“We interviewed a number of planners before hiring ANSE. We chose Amy because of her depth of knowledge and experience. We knew she and ANSE would be able to create the celebration we were envisioning. She is flexible, hard to rattle, and easy to work with, qualities that proved invaluable on our wedding day!”

— CHRISTEN, Bride   

“There were small details I knew I’d forget that were important to me, but I couldn’t have executed them without someone navigating the full way. I was working full time, getting used to a new lifestyle with a fiancé. Planning a wedding is a lot of work… If I hadn’t had Amy, I don’t know what I would have done.”
