We craft experiences that bring people together.
In business, in community, and in celebration. You might know us as Amanda Douglas Events. We’re the same team, under a new name.
Who We Are
What began as a boutique wedding planning company has grown into a creative agency producing corporate and not-for-profit events, conferences, workshops, and community programs across Manitoba and beyond. Our work now extends into education and consulting, teaching internal teams how to plan, manage, and lead events with confidence.
Our approach
Structure and soul. Events aren’t just about logistics or design. They’re about connection, care, and the magic that happens when people feel seen and supported.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How long have you been an Event Planner?
Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Amanda founded Amanda Douglas Events in 2012 — now Amanda Douglas & Co. — and has been designing and managing events since 2005.
What types of events do you specialize in?
We love events that feel like you. A tented multi-day retreat, a fundraiser in a warehouse, a creative pop-up in a museum — we specialize in unique, customizable spaces that tell a story. If it can be built, styled, or reimagined from the ground up, that’s when we’re in our element.
What sets you apart from other Planners?
We blend strategy, design, and empathy. We’re known for our organization, communication, and care, but what really sets us apart is our personality: we’re real humans who love what we do, and we want you to actually enjoy the planning process.
How do you work with clients?
Every client gets their own planning hub — a client portal with a checklist by phase, your run of show, and every meeting recording filed in one place. We set internal deadlines ahead of the venue’s, so nothing is rushed.
What training or credentials do you have?
Amanda is a Certified Wedding Planner through WPIC, holds an Event Design Certification through the Wedding and Event Institute (WEI), and studied Public Relations, Marketing, and Project Management at the University of Winnipeg. Every member of our team is trained and mentored by Amanda herself.
How many events do you take on each year?
Fewer than we used to, on purpose. Most of our work is now corporate, community, and not-for-profit events, and we keep our calendar small so every client gets our full attention. We take on just a handful of weddings each year, the ones we can’t say no to. The rest of our time goes to consulting, workshops, and The Wedding Room, where we teach planners, teams, and couples to do it themselves.
Is Amanda Douglas & Co. a one-woman show?
Not at all! Amanda leads a skilled, heart-driven team of Event Managers, each trained under her systems and approach. No matter who’s on site, you’re in good hands.
Do you travel for events?
Absolutely. Travel is one of our favourite parts of the job. We regularly work across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario (including Kenora) — and most recently, all the way up to Churchill. If you’re dreaming up something remote or unexpected, we’re always up for the adventure.
Preferred Vendors & Associates
The people we trust with your event.
We’re proud to collaborate with a network of trusted professionals — florists, photographers, caterers, designers, AV techs, and venues — who share our commitment to excellence and inclusion. Our vendor partners aren’t just talented; they’re kind, communicative, and community-minded. And whenever we can, we hire local talent.

Safe Space Policy
We celebrate togetherness — inclusively.
We’re committed to creating events and collaborations where everyone feels welcome, respected, and supported — people of all gender identities, abilities, ages, sexualities, body types, and cultural backgrounds. Harassment, discrimination, or exclusion have no place in our spaces, online, on site, or in collaboration.
When available, we offer quiet, low-sensory spaces at our larger events for anyone who needs to recharge.

We acknowledge Manitoba is located on the Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We acknowledge northern Manitoba includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit.
