About The Crafts & Cocktails Co.
Amanda Powers
Dog mom of two, wife, lover of flowers, dance, music and tacos! The Crafts & Cocktails Co. was born back in 2019 when I hosted a crafting party with a cocktail demonstration for a group of friends, and was peer pressured into starting this fun little side business! I hold a degree in Event Management from the University of Central Florida, and after 10 years of corporate event planning a good friend reached out in 2021 asking for help with her wedding. We sat down to organize her files and tie loose ends and the sense of relief she felt at the end of our coffee date was everything to me! Ever since then, it's been wedding bliss!
I want to know your story, get to know your personal design preferences and anticipate your needs. Our Day of Coordination package begins 90 days prior to your wedding, this way- we help you tie up those last few loose ends with enough time to enjoy the week before your wedding!
In three words: Calm, Collaborative, Confident

We Adored Crafts & Cocktails!
BOOK Crafts & Cocktails NOW, you won't regret it! Amanda and Melissa went above and beyond for us from day one and we can't thank them enough for helping make our day so special. We used their Day of Coordination option and it was a godsend to my perfectionistic soul. I really wanted to find someone who could help me take care of the nitty gritty details so I could fully immerse and enjoy our wedding day. They help you think of and answer all the questions... even the ones you don't even know you have. Our family and friends adored them and were equally amazed by all the heart and soul they put into our wedding. The Crafts & Cocktails team is worth every penny! They make you feel like you are their one and only priority. They took our vision of an intimate backyard/in home wedding and made it more beautiful, personalized, and perfect than we ever imagined it could be. We can't thank and recommend them enough!!
A True Planning Partner
The Crafts & Cocktails Co. are an exceptional wedding planning team that I highly recommend. Their communication style is fast, attentive, and always advocates for what you want. The quality of their work is truly above and beyond - they are excellent, innovative, and make sure everything goes smoothly on your wedding day. For example, if any issues came up with vendors, they will handle it before you even know about it, allowing you to truly relax and enjoy your special day. They also created the sweetest gift for a couple, a beautiful, personalized framed photo using dried flowers from her bouquet, which was such a thoughtful touch. Additionally, their expertise and guidance were invaluable - they make sure you don't overlook any important details in your planning. If you want to have a smooth day with peace of mind, work with them and ten days out from your event, you'll feel so relaxed and ready for it!
Response from vendor•May 23, 2025Thanks Rachel!! I had a blast working with you!BOOK HER
The Crafts & Cocktails Co. was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Amanda and her team were incredibly responsive, professional, and friendly. Their attention to detail and organization was unparalleled - we felt like we were in such capable hands throughout the entire planning process. Amanda met with us multiple times before the big day to ensure she fully understood our vision, and she worked closely with all our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. When we had a last-minute flower fiasco the day before the wedding, Amanda saved the day by calling around and personally going to a wholesaler to pick up new blooms. Our wedding day went so smoothly because we knew we could trust Amanda to execute everything perfectly, and she did just that. She is literally the best wedding planner we could have asked for, and our day would not have been as perfect without her. We are forever grateful to the Crafts & Cocktails Co. team!
