With a sharp eye for detail and a heart for celebration, Amanda brings a unique blend of corporate precision and creative passion to wedding planning. Before launching Petite Planning Company, she spent seven years in Finance and Marketing at a top investment bank in New York City—an experience that honed her skills in organization, logistics, and client service.

Amanda discovered her love for weddings while planning her own, realizing that the process beautifully merged her professional strengths with her personal love for aesthetics, storytelling, and meaningful moments. Petite but mighty (standing at just 5 feet tall!), Amanda approaches every wedding with energy, intention, and a deep commitment to creating thoughtful, seamless experiences.

As the founder of Petite Planning Company, Amanda’s mission is simple: to help couples feel calm, confident, and genuinely present on one of the most important days of their lives. From the big picture to the tiniest detail, she’s there to ensure every element reflects your love story.

Hey there,

LEAD COORDINATOR

A natural Type-A planner with a creative, Type-B heart, Liz brings the perfect balance of structure and vision to every Petite event. She thrives on dreaming big with her couples and then translating those dreams into seamless, thoughtful experiences. With a background as a registered nurse in neuro-oncology, Liz is no stranger to detail, calm under pressure, or caring deeply for the people she serves — all qualities that shine throughout her planning approach.

Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, Liz is now our first Florida-based coordinator and leads Petite’s market development across the state. She’s fallen in love with venues like The Gasparilla Inn on Boca Grande and lives for the unforgettable moments of a wedding day — especially when the bride steps into the ceremony and when the couple is introduced to their loved ones as newlyweds.

A December 2025 bride herself, Liz brings a heartfelt understanding of what couples are feeling as they navigate the planning journey. She can’t wait to walk alongside you, handle the details, and help create a day that feels effortless and truly yours.

I'm Liz

Nice to meet ya!

FL LEAD COORDINATOR & MARKET DEVELOPMENT LEAD

Maria brings a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to every celebration she supports. After several years in finance, she discovered her passion for events through floral design and quickly fell in love with the way weddings bring people together. She believes great events are about connection, joy, and creating moments that feel deeply personal.

At Petite Planning Company, Maria ensures our couples feel calm, cared for, and completely supported—from vendor logistics to creative execution. Outside of planning, she’s pursuing her WSET Level 3 wine certification, loves to travel and explore new cuisines, and has a growing collection of unique handbags. She’s also a proud dog mom to Percy and Lemon (and possibly a third soon!).

I'm Maria T.

Hiya!

ASSOCIATE COORDINATOR

Jordan joined Petite Planning in early 2022 and has loved helping make brides' days easier ever since. While most of her time at weddings occur on the weekends, she also spends her 9-5 planning. Jordan started her career with the Philadelphia 76ers on the events team and now works for a global events agency in NYC. While every type of event is super satisfying, the feeling she gets after being a part of a couple's most memorable day is unmatched.
