As the creator of Smiling Through Chaos LLC, Amanda Hudes dedicates her time to helping women and couples smile more, stress less, and look and feel your best during your event planning experience through Event Planning and Wellness Coaching. Nothing thrills me more than knowing my clients are happy and living the life they have always imagined.
Planning a wedding can be both exhilarating and stressful, with many vendors and schedules to coordinate, and so many emotions tied into the day. At Smiling Through Chaos, our goal is to guide you through your engagement with a smile in your face, taking care of the details while you enjoy this singular time of your life.
Mitzvahs, Milestone Birthdays and Anniversaries, Graduations, communions, Sweet 16s, and Other social Events. At Smiling Through Chaos, we believe in celebrating everything. Our clients come to us to create one-of-a-kind events for life's most important moments. Whether it's a chic dinner party with the most gorgeous details or a 300-person mitzvah, we take care of everything so you can enjoy yourself.
Held for up to 50 guests, this event is created to make the host and guests say, "Wow." Booking "The Experience" means telling your story through visual effects as well as through sound, taste, smell, and of course smiling guests. It's about the ambiance, the artistic feel, the magic. We've streamlined the planning process to allow us to plan these events with a shorter timeline.
Smiling Through Chaos offers what most planners don't: expert nutritional and exercise counseling, stress relief/wellness plans, and an empathetic shoulder to lean on and cheerlead you through your event planning experience.

Amanda was incredible. She took every idea and detail of what we wanted for our wedding and made it come to life. Anytime we needed her she was there and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Amanda made it her priority to make the planning process stress free and smooth and allowed us to have the most magical and memorable night of our life. She is creative, responsive, professional and most of all kind and I cannot recommend her to plan any event enough.

What a gem we found in Amanda and Smiling Through Chaos! My best friend hosted a 50th birthday party and hired Amanda to coordinate all of the details. We were supposed to be in Paris but due to COVID, we had to stay local and bring Paris to New Jersey via an outdoor dinner party. From the moment I met Amanda, I knew she would be great to work with. She is upbeat, has a positive attitude, and is full of awesome ideas.
Amanda clearly has long standing relationships with a wide variety of vendors to make events truly special. The number of vendors for this event were endless and Amanda displayed

I found Smiling Through Chaos online shortly after getting engaged last September, my fiance and I wanted a wedding within a year in the summer, Amanda met with us and immediately got to work. We both have busy stressful jobs so we knew we'd need support if this was going to happen in a "short" timeframe. Amanda was literally a godsend for us! She was with us from a week after getting engaged through our rescheduled date this Sept. She helped us plan a June wedding and then was amazing helping us reschedule to a September wedding. We are a pandemic couple who literally went through everything you

I am beyond excited to see how much my body has changed after having two beautiful boys over the last two years. I lost almost 30 pounds in 6 months!! After her program, I am still continuing to lose weight. I lost so far all together almost 40 pounds. For the most part, everyone knows I am a vegetarian but even so I still had much to learn about eating the right foods in order to have a healthy lifestyle. Also, you can't forget to throw some exercises in there too! I reached out to Amanda from Smiling Through Chaos to help me to achieve my goals. She is absolutely great to work with. She has an

Smiling through chaos helped plan our wedding through one of the most uncertain times. Nearly everything changed from our original plan except for two things: my beautiful bride and the planner keeping us both sane.

Amanda was an absolute pleasure to work with!! She assisted us with timelines, communication with vendors and making sure we were set on all fronts leading into the big day! The day of, she made sure everything was taken care of, the vendors ( & groomsmen!) were where they needed to be and made sure my husband and I were able to enjoy the celebration instead of stressing over the details. She handles everything with a smile on her face. She is an absolute joy, super professional and made our wedding a dream come true!!

I've had the pleasure of working with Amanda on an event earlier this month with regards to a cotton candy cart rental for a private event. From her initial inquiry to the event date, she was nothing short of punctual, professional and very responsive with her communication - as there were a lot of moving parts to this party! She made it look easy and everything turned out great!
I highly recommend this company if you're looking for an efficient, no-frills, hand-on and stress-free experience in planning your next event! Thanks again!
