Destination Wedding Planning for Travel-Loving Couples Who Want a Meaningful Celebration
Planning weddings in Italy, Banff, the pacific Northwest and, wherever beauty calls - based in Cincinnati, traveling everywhere
Planning a destination wedding should feel like the beginning of the best trip you’ll ever take - not a stressful puzzle of spreadsheets and timezone calls.
I specialize in crafting seamless, multi-day wedding experiences in places that matter to you - whether it’s the shores of Lake Como, the mountains of Banff, or a vineyard in California. With over 10 years of experience and a calm, organized approach, I help couples like you slow down, savor the planning journey, and create a celebration that feels unforgettable from start to finish.

We believe planning your wedding should feel as joyful and intentional as the celebration itself. Meet the team behind Amber Hansen Events - a passionate group of creatives and logistics lovers dedicated to bringing your vision to life with care, warmth and expertise.
Amber Hansen
Owner & Lead
Destination Wedding Planner & Designer
With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, my passion for crafting unforgettable moments has only deepened. Specializing in weddings, I find joy in curating ceremonies that celebrate your unique love story amidst the beauty of nature all over the world.
I love traveling and the outdoors. I feel so inspired by the world and the natural beauty it has. From majestic cliffs, rolling hills and the stunning mountains, fuel my creativity and my soul. My love with travel began in 2015 when my husband and I explored the enchanting landscapes of Ireland, leaving a mark on my heart. Since then, our adventures have taken us all over. Some places I would love to see next are Scotland and Japan!
As a destination wedding planner, I understand the allure of saying "I do" in breathtaking locations around the world. With my experience, networking and passion for travel, I am committed to bring your dream destination wedding to life. From navigating logistical challenges to discovering hidden gems off the beaten path, I am dedicated to ensuring that your special day surpasses all expectations.
On this journey together, we’ll create memories that will last a lifetime against the backdrop of the world's most stunning landscapes.

Taylor Meyer
Executive Assistant
This is Taylor, the Best Executive Assistant out there! Taylor has been with us, assisting with weddings since 2020!
While this is not her primary occupation, things would not go as smoothly without her. She is a avid traveler who brings her knowledge to our destination wedding clients. She has traveled all over, but so far with AHE she has helped in Lake Como, Italy and Banff, Canada.
When Taylor is home (or traveling the US), George is by her side. George is the best doggie that loves to sing with the radio with the jeep top down! Taylor is obsessed with coffee and is trying to open her own little travel coffee truck to spread her own roast from cost to coast.
Brian Hansen
Assistant
Meet Brian, the supportive backbone of Amber Hansen Events. Since the start of my journey, Brian has been by my side, offering unwavering support and encouragement every step of the way.
While not his primary occupation, Brian lends a helping hand whenever possible, bringing his expertise in home construction to the table. His eye for detail and project management skills are invaluable, ensuring seamless execution behind the scenes.
When he's not busy building homes or helping me, Brian enjoys being a avid guitarist, reader, and a lover of fine bourbon, he finds peace in the simple pleasures of life. Most importantly, Brian cherishes spending quality time with our family, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Since our transformative journey to Ireland in 2015, Brian has developed a newfound love for travel, sparked by discovering new destinations and taking it in as locals.
