A little about me 

Thanks for stopping by....

My name is Amanda and I am owner and lead coordinator of Black Rock Weddings LLC. I have a special place in my heart for all love stories and I am a complete mush when it comes to weddings. In 2022 I married my college sweetheart and truly found my passion for coordinating weddings. I met my now husband, Luke, my sophomore year of college at Shepherd University during a time when the last thing I wanted was a boyfriend. A newfound friendship budded into the greatest love story, as we fell for one another in 2018. Fast forward to 2020 where I finally graduated college with a degree in Communications and a minor in Business Marketing in the middle of a global pandemic, but I wont bore you with all of those details we all know how that year went. In 2021 Luke proposed to me on the top of a mountain overlooking the DMV area, while snow fell.... it sounds like a hallmark movie, I know. Soon after we purchased our first home in Hampstead, MD and got married on October 15th, 2022 at the stunning Good Feelings Farm in Westminster, MD.  The love, joy and overwhelming comfort I found in my own wedding day inspired the passion I have now for coordinating. During my free time I love crafting, gardening, mastering my Dunkin coffee order and eating Italian food anytime I can. My husband and I have rescued 2 fur babies from MAGSR (Mid Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue) and they have truly completed our little family. Odin, our Belgium Malinois and Zeus, our White German Shepherd are big goofballs who love everyone they meet. We added in our lovable boy, Baker, an orange cat to the mix in 2024 and have been one big happy family since. Along with being a lover of love I am also a lover of art, having my fair share of tattoos that I have accumulated over the last few years. Sometimes the best kind of therapy is sitting in a tattoo parlor chair.... IYKYK. A born and raised girl from Carroll County turned to small business owner made possible through hard work, determination and lots of coffee.

 The start of something

My wedding career started in the beginning of 2021, assisting my sister in law under her company, Coordinating by Lindsey. I quickly excelled under her wing and started coordinating weddings on my own. I assisted not only beside her but also took on weddings myself and exceeding expectations. I helped with large weddings as big as 300 people to destination weddings with separate locations for the ceremony and reception. In 2022 I coordinated 15 weddings by myself and assisted on several others, I then took the leap of faith to branch off into my own company in 2023 and began Black Rock Weddings.
