What the heck is "a moi" anyway? Borrowed from the French, a moi, pronounced "ah muah" translates to help me. Which is exactly what we are here to do.
With a passion for love and a knack for getting things just perfect – Amber and Carilee are the ideal addition to your wedding dream team. They'll handle all the details like timelines, rental needs, vendor contract reviews and layouts so you can focus on enjoying the process. They’ll keep your family members calm, get the groomsmen down the aisle in an orderly fashion, and fluff the bride’s dress just before she makes her grand entrance. With over 10 years of collective industry knowledge and insider relationships with vendors all over the state, you can trust your wedding planning will be flawless with the À Moi team on your side.
Before your big day, we’ll sit down as many times as needed to discuss exactly what your wedding day dreams are. We will help you find your dream team of vendors, the perfect color scheme, and nail down the best timing for the whole weekend. We will go over anything you may be nervous about or any specific moments you want to make sure happen beautifully. Amber and Carilee will get to know you two, your big day, and prepare all of the details from this first hello. With strong vendor relationships, we will reach out to all of your vendors to ensure the wedding day timeline is on track to be seamless.
Calming a nervous family is Carilee and Amber's specialty. On the day of your rehearsal we’ll walk through the entire ceremony front and back (x2) to get it perfect, but do it quick enough that we don’t lose focus. We’ll make sure all family members feel confident in their role and that the wedding party knows exactly where to stand and how to look their best. We are here to make sure you feel calm and ready for tomorrow’s big day.

On your wedding day the À Moi team will be the first ones in and the last ones out. We will handle the set up of all the decor and items you’ve provided, like bridal portraits, favors, or programs and signs. We will check with each vendor upon their arrival to ensure they know where to go and what to do. We will oversee every aspect of the set up for the day. After the ceremony and reception are set and ready, we’ll make sure we get everyone down the aisle. We’ll be the keeper of all the things during the reception and make sure moms and dads don’t miss their first dances, Best Men and Maids of Honor are prepared for their speeches and keep vendors, like photographers, caterer and your band, on track for all of the big moments. Once you’ve driven off into your happily ever after we’ll clean up, load up everything and send your family on their way!
Thank you so much, Carilee and the Amber Watson wedding team, for helping us to have the wedding of our dreams! We absolutely felt like a king and queen for the day. You all catered to our every need, and were always one step ahead guiding us through all the events of the day. We felt like we could really relax, take everything in, and enjoy the time spent with family and friends. We can’t thank you enough!
Hiring Amber and her team was the best money that we spent on our wedding. She does a truly incredible job while being wonderfully easy to work with. She is amazing in how she gets it all done and how responsive she is, all while having a relaxed and excellent attitude. Our special day was perfection, and if anything did go wrong, we didn’t know about it because Amber and her team took care of it all! They went above and beyond to make it everything we wanted. I was so impressed with her work and could not recommend more if you are looking for a wedding coordinator!
Where do I even begin - Amber and her team are such a delight to work with, and they do an AMAZING job! I had the pleasure of working alongside them as a fellow wedding vendor this past fall, and it was truly one of my favorite nights! Amber and her team are professional, communicative, and just all around great humans. If you are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator in the Columbia, SC area, look no further, Amber is your girl!
Carilee was an absolute dream to work with! She made sure we were both well represented in the wedding details and was a great sounding board for ideas and vendors. Carilee made sure the day ran smoothly. She was very detailed and organized. Honestly, it was the perfect wedding and that was because of Carilee and our photographers. If there were hiccups, my husband nor I had any idea. Everything ran so smoothly and everyone was where they needed to be when. If you are on the fence on who to choose, look no further that A Moi!!
À Moi is headed by two ladies who are more alike than should be allowed. Carilee and Amber saw a partnership forming naturally and decided to embrace it. Together they love serving wedding clients all across the Southeast with joy, humor, and excitement. They can't wait to learn about you and your big day!
Amber found her “when you love what you do you never work a day in your life” job when she started AWW in 2017. Amber brings years of industry experience from the catering side and planning side. She’s spent the last 5 years dedicated to growing her own family and AWW into what it has become, a client focused planning and coordination company for all love stories. She is married to her husband, Joe Ben, and together they have three boys - Ollie, Whit, and Huck. She loves a good detailed timeline, a brownie fresh from the oven, and going to the beach with her family. Her favorite part of her job is the deep relationships she forms with her clients, the first moments after the ceremony and the “day after the wedding texts” from couples sharing their joy.

Carilee and Amber joined forces in 2021 to become the wedding planning duo you know today. She previously worked in events around Columbia, from smaller gatherings like intimate wine dinners to working with the team that put on the St. Pats festival in Five Points. To focus her talents on weddings, she came to AWW with new ideas and a lot of zest. Carilee and her fiance Mike will marry in March of 2023, so if Amber ever doesn't get it - Carilee will! :) Carilee enjoys chasing sunsets, movie theater popcorn, and country concerts. Her favorite part of wedding planning is transforming a space into the client's vision, collaborating with her favorite vendors and watching the newlyweds share their first dance.
