At 8,000 feet in Estes Park, the music of a lone guitarist drifts across the mountains as a bride hands her parents roses during the ceremony. The gesture is intimate, unexpected, and unforgettable. Behind the moment stands wedding planner Amanda Piper, quietly guiding the flow. For her, weddings are not just events—they are living experiences, layered with meaning and crafted with heart.
A Journey Shaped by Storytelling
Amanda’s story began far from the Rockies. In high school, she was tapped—almost by accident—to plan Homecoming. What might have been a one-time responsibility revealed a natural gift for orchestrating experiences. Later, at Auburn University and during her master’s in public relations at Emerson College, Amanda honed that instinct into a craft.
Her path eventually led her to Colorado, where she launched The Event Troupe. With more than 1,000 events and over 300 weddings to her credit, she has built a reputation not on formulas but on listening—truly listening—to her clients. “When you hire me, you hire my brain and my professional process, not a program,” Amanda explains.
A Planner Who Puts People First
In an industry filled with software portals and cookie-cutter templates, Amanda has chosen a different way. She works with paper, pens, and conversation. Her couples don’t log in to a dashboard—they sit down with her, share stories, and laugh about the quirks that make them who they are.
It’s a human approach that gives her weddings their emotional resonance. From custom cocktails to family-centered rituals, no celebration looks—or feels—the same. “A boring chicken dinner? No thanks,” she laughs. “Our events are experiences, not templates.”

The Heart Behind the Details
Amanda’s events carry her brand values through every detail: authenticity, inspiration, simplicity, and joy. Couples often comment on her uncanny ability to anticipate needs before they arise. Whether it’s a last-minute adjustment to music or a thoughtful touch at the dinner table, her foresight allows families to stay present in the moment.
These aren’t Pinterest-perfect productions—they are deeply personal experiences. As Amanda puts it, “Pinterest is not real. We don’t rely on it.” Instead, she crafts design elements that mirror the personalities and stories of the people at the center of the day.
A Legacy of Connection
Amanda’s career spans more than thirty years, yet she still approaches every event with fresh eyes. Her secret? Seeing each wedding as not just a celebration but a turning point in someone’s life story. “Our couples want their wedding to be more than beautiful—they want it to feel like them,” she says.
Her artistry lies in weaving those intangibles together: the mountain backdrop, the chosen music, the laughter of friends, the tears of parents. She makes the intangible unforgettable.
