Founder, author, + relationship-first rebel wedding expert. I help couples plan total Love Parties - weddings that break the rules.
The Anti-Wedding Wedding Planner
Hey, I’m Amy. I was branded “The Anti-Wedding Wedding Planner” by The Cut—and I’m a 2x founder and industry disruptor redefining how modern couples plan weddings.
I’m the owner of Modern Rebel and Founder + CEO of Cheersy, the first marketplace dedicated to booking vetted day-of wedding coordinators, which closed a pre-seed round in 2025 led by Kerry Washington.
I’m a frequent expert source for The New York Times, TIME, Vogue, and BRIDES, and the author of The Rebel Wedding Planning Guidebook. I’m also a NYC mom to 3 kiddos, an enthusiastic Shania Twain fan, and long distance runner. Let’s go girls.
My Book
Author of The Rebel Wedding Planning Guidebook
This book is an inclusive, relationship-first approach to wedding planning — designed to help couples create a celebration that actually reflects who they are. Instead of following outdated rules or one-size-fits-all traditions, the book guides couples to make intentional choices that feel meaningful, personal, and grounded in their partnership. Plus, it has fun prompts to fill out giving couples a meaningful keepsake for years to come.
For Couples Who…
…are planning their weddings themselves but want some expert support to get creative + get on track — without losing sight of their relationship, values, or sanity.
Work With Me
Three times a quarter, I sit down one-on-one with couples who want
a more intentional and relational celebration without losing themselves in the noise.
Our Time Together…
…will be spent over Zoom pouring over your pain points, brainstorming creative solutions, sharing my decade of experience making bold, memorable celebrations all while realizing you’re actually having fun, too!
You’ll Walk Away With…
Clarity, aligned next steps, and decisions you actually feel good about — for your wedding and your partnership.
Sometimes this means vendor recs, recommended next steps to DIY a design plan, fun creative spins on typical wedding traditions and of course, detailed notes from our discussion.
A Note On My Availability:
Because I’m a full-time Founder & CEO of Cheersy, I only take 1 couple per month for consulting sessions. After a decade in this work, it’s no longer my main gig—but it is something I genuinely love.
Sessions are $350 for one hour and include pre-work that feels more like a fun quiz than homework. That way, during our session we can dig deep into your pain points, since I’ll have some time prior to brainstorm, and you’ll walk away with tangible advice and plans.
Looking for a full service wedding planner?
Modern Rebel no longer offers full service wedding planning + design - only limited consulting services.
But don’t worry: I’ve personally curated a list of incredible, rebel-energy, inclusive, deeply experienced wedding planners who do offer full service and would be amazing partners for your day.
Email me at Amy@cheersy.com and I’ll share the list with you.
Looking for a
Day-Of Coordinator?
Meet Cheersy. The day-of coordination marketplace I created to be sure every couple who plans their wedding themselves doesn’t actually run it day-of.
On Cheersy, you can browse vetted wedding coordinators by price, availability, and specialty—including experience with multicultural and LGBTQ+ weddings—so you can find the right support without the overwhelm.
Your coordinator takes over 4-6 weeks before your wedding date. Give yourself the gift of being a guest.
