Locke Events
Full-Service Weddings & Special Events
boutique planning and design firm
Locke Events was quite literally, founded out of love. The name honors my grandmother’s maiden name, Lock, and the marriage she and my grandfather have shared for nearly 60 years. Their story is at the heart of everything we do: a reminder that weddings and events aren’t just about one day - they set the tone for the next sixty years of your life.
I am a details snob: the perfect color match, a minute-by-minute timeline, the right DJ who actually listens to the “DO NOT PLAY” list. Basically, if it matters to you, it matters to me.
And while I take my work seriously, I don’t take myself too seriously. I will 100% cry during your vows, keep Cheezits on me at all times for a mid-day snack, and probably end up on the dance floor with you at some point during the night.
About Amanda
meet the planner
I never planned on working in events - I am actually a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and spent my research year working in the NICU with preemies!
In my spare time (I have none) I love to bake! I am by no means planning to break into the Wedding Cake biz, but I do love myself some homemade banana bread.
Go birds. (need I say more?)
While Philly has my heart, I have called many cities home throughout my life - Pittsburgh, Cleveland and D.C.
I am an unapologetic, overly-obsessed dog mom and Franklin, my miniature Dachshund is my best friend.
Wedding cake is not overrated - perfect with a good cup of decaf coffee at 11 PM
