My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Amanda on our wedding day. I cannot express how thankful I am for her. She kept everything moving so efficiently, we were right on time for everything, and there was no request too big that Amanda couldn’t fulfill. She was able to be extremely flexible yet efficient and diligent with our timeline. She was also really fun to work with, and made everything so easy and enjoyable. I cannot recommend her enough.Bailey & Jaime

Amanda's warmth and professionalism diminishes all anxiety that can be associated with event planning, making her events equally fabulous to attend as a guest or throw as a host! Her connections to small businesses not only bring a level of creativity and uniqueness to her events, but also make you feel good about supporting the local community. Already looking forward to the next AJE event I get to attend!

I worked with Amanda to create a party box for a virtual baby shower I was hosting. I approached her on short notice, as I needed to source the items and get the boxes mailed out within a week. She was great! My tight deadline did not discourage her enthusiasm. She presented me with a variety of options, and we worked within my budget. In the end she prepped over 20 boxes and filled them all with amazing party favors that I was proud to send to the guests. It was so fun to see everyone's reaction at the virtual party, and it made us all feel connected even though we couldn't be together in person.I would recommend Amanda and her amazing party services to anyone. Hopefully we can start planning real parties soon vs virtual. Thanks Amanda for all your hard work.

Attending an event organized by Amanda is simply a treat! When you find yourself gushing over the napkins, you know the attention to detail is unmatched. The gorgeously decorated, highly curated parties and events lead to great conversations, sparkling connections, and so, so much fun! Memories of, and the promise of return of AJE in-person is such a bright light these days. If you are looking for an Ottawa-based event planner, I couldn’t recommend Amanda Ruddy more.

I reached out to Amanda after purchasing one of her amazing party packs in hopes that she could help me pivot a traditional in-person annual fundraiser into a virtual event. I have absolutely zero talent for social event planning. This is not an exaggeration. So I needed to bring someone on who could listen, adapt and then run it out of the gate. The first thing that stood out to me was how at ease Amanda made me feel with respect to all the unlimited possibilities. She sees challenges as opportunities, and brings a level of expertise to the event planning that adds flair and uniqueness and, in my case, while respecting the traditions and history. She's fairly priced, joy-filled and passionate about making YOUR event the best it can be. The event was a huge success and my board and members of the community shared how refreshing it was to have a twist on the traditional". I highly recommend Amanda; you can trust her with the important moments in your life."

Amanda herself is the perfect combination of organized and creative. She has a keen eye for detail, which was very reassuring when I hired her to produce a corporate event in November 2019. I didn't have to worry about any minor detail, because she had already thought of it. Her creativity is unparalleled; Amanda's ability to design something out of nothing is out of this world. I have been to a couple of AJE events as a guest and I'm always walking out the door thinking how does she come up with this stuff?!" Highly recommend for any event

Working with Amanda Ruddy is a dream. Most recently Amanda planned an intimate Italian style 1-year anniversary for us. Not only did she know every single COVID rule, had existing relationships with all of our vendors, she was able to create a space for us to socialize and enjoy each others company safely. She even curated custom masks for everyone and had branded hand sanitizer. It all went with the decor, was stunning and really elevated the experience for our guests.Every little detail from choosing a theme, creating unique personalized decor, to picking up our cake was covered. Her attention to detail is like no other. She really made the whole planning process super fun and effortless. We were able to enjoy this special milestone with our loved ones and she literally took care of the rest.Will never use anyone but her moving forward.

Amanda made my wedding day extra special. She was professional, fun, easy-going, responsive, and super easy to work with. She had creative ideas that worked really well with our venue. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the services of Amanda Julia Events.

I've known Amanda in a professional and personal setting and I can say without a doubt that she is incredibly organized, creative and smart. She has thrown some of the best parties and celebrations that I've been to. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking to plan their next event! She will put her all into ensuring your day is incredibly special.

There really is no event like an Amanda Julia Event. Amanda’s creativity and attention to detail is outstanding. Pre pandemic AJE put on some of the most original, fun filled, and organized events. Due to the pandemic, Amanda has been so innovative with virtual events and party packs. AJE planned a bachelorette party for 14 of us women and it was hands down the best and organized bachelorette party I've ever attended. Amanda Julia Events thought of every minor detail whether it be temporary tattoos of the grooms face or party loot bags. I don’t know how she does it! I highly recommend Amanda Julia Events!
