CURORA
(kyoo-roh-rah)

The art of curating weddings intentionally and elegantly.

Inspired by the Latin words cura (“care, attention”) and ora (“essence, spirit”), we believe in creating weddings that feel deeply personal, effortlessly elegant, and thoughtfully curated.

You’re not just planning a wedding, you’re trying to live your life, too.

  • We are so grateful to have had Amanda as our wedding coordinator. She was kind, professional, and handled every detail thoughtfully. Thanks to her support, what once felt stressful became truly enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly for us and our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator to bring our wedding vision to life.

  • We've know Amanda for many years and worked with her as a coordinator at numerous weddings and events. Her attention to detail and ability to make things happen fast are top notch. She curates an easy flowing timeline and wears the biggest smile the whole time too. Many thanks Amanda for making our job as DJ entertainers so easy!!!

  • TLDR version of this review is if you are planning a wedding, hiring Amanda is arguably the best use of your money! She may have been the biggest difference maker in how our big day turned out (AMAZING) and how much we just got to enjoy the day instead of worrying or being nervous about anything (we were not at all, thanks to Amanda).

    Alan

  • As a wedding vendor I had a pleasure to work with Amanda on our Bride's wedding. She was so organized, absolutely lovely and easy to work with. My HUGE thank you for all updates, her help with timeline and coordination. I'll be so happy to work with you again, it was absolute dream and joy. Thank you for making our work even more easier and pleasant!

    Sophie

  • Our day was completely flawless because of Amanda! She checked in with me every step of the way while planning to make sure I didn’t forget any small detail. She has great connections with other vendors that made my process stress free. The day of she was always one step ahead so my husband and I actually got to relax and enjoy our day. I would definitely recommend her for any event you have in the future. You won’t regret it!

You want a celebration that feels true to you, and it deserves nothing short of perfection. I bring nearly two decades of experience managing events at some of the Northeast’s most sought-after venues. My background includes years spent leading weddings with top catering teams across the Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, the Berkshires, and beyond. I founded Curora Weddings to give couples the expert guidance, thoughtful planning, and calm presence they need to enjoy every moment.

What We Believe

At Curora Weddings, everything starts with intention. An unforgettable wedding isn’t built from trends or checklists. It’s built from real moments, ones rooted in authenticity, connection, and a timeless experience shared with the people you love.

With nearly two decades of experience planning and managing weddings across Albany, Saratoga, the Hudson Valley, and the Berkshires, we’ve learned that trust, care, and attention to detail shape everything.

You deserve a wedding that feels like you.

Planning should be intentional, organized, and honestly? Enjoyable.

The guest experience matters. How your wedding feels is just as important as how it looks.

Logistics matter too. But so does trust. You should always feel informed, supported, and confident.

You deserve a planner who’s prepared, present, and fully committed to you. That’s how I work. You always get me.

How We Plan Celebrations That Feel Effortless

Clear planning. Calm energy. Total presence.

You don’t need another checklist. You need someone who can lead, guide, and manage the experience so you can be present and actually enjoy it.

Here’s exactly how we do that.

Step 1: We Listen

We start by understanding you. What’s your vision? What’s keeping you up at night? This call sets everything in motion.

Step 2: We Build the Foundation

Once you're on board, I build your personalized planning roadmap. You get a portal, a clear timeline, and a vendor match list, so you always know what’s coming next and why.

Step 3: Design & Logistics

We support every decision. from seating to styling to travel plans. We’re coordinating communication, vendor support, and details so you don’t have to.

Step 4: The Big Day (And Beyond)

I’m there in person, managing every element behind the scenes. When your guests arrive, everything feels smooth, presentable, and authentically you.
