Envy’s “Design Diva”
Armed with a passion for creativity and a desire to turn wishful thinking into a dream event, the company founder – Amanda Kurpis – takes pride in creating both a fun and stress-free experience for all of her clients. Spending the better part of 12 years in the operations management & client services industry, Amanda refined her skills as a customer service expert and organization specialist, before moving into the creative side of the event planning sector.
In addition to her technical business planning experience, Amanda gained valuable knowledge and insight working as an Assistant Designer at Taylor-Made Memories (www.taylormadememories.ca), a leading Wedding & Special Event Decor company based in Hamilton, Ontario. She has had the opportunity to help many couples realize their wedding design visions, across the Golden Horseshoe and throughout the Niagara region, and has assisted in designing weddings in such places as The Scottish Rite Club of Hamilton, The Grand Olympia, Burlington Golf & Country Club, Liuna Gardens, Battlefield House Museum, Legends Estates Winery, Queenston Heights Restaurant, and The Burlington Convention Centre.
After planning and designing her own wedding in November 2010, it only confirmed for Amanda that she wanted to help others realize their dreams of having that ‘perfect moment’. Her passion for creativity and her keen ability to bring details together seamlessly, led her to create Envy by Design Weddings & Special Events.
“…After planning my own wedding from start to finish, and all the ‘in-betweens’ – I realized that in order to have a wholly successful event there are certain things that just absolutely need to be in place. The first is FUN. Planning and organizing can quickly become a tedious task, and if you don’t find a way to enjoy the process – your event will just not live up to its full potential.. There must also be both synergy and balance between ‘creativity’ and ‘strategy’. You can’t just have one and not the other…it just doesn’t work well that way. There are so many details and unique aspects involved in event planning, that it truly becomes an overall ‘design’ process.”
