About Amani Affairs
Jihan Amani Francois
I’m Jihan Amani Francois, Chief Experience Officer of Amani Affairs and the calm, creative force behind your wedding day. Based in Wilmington, NC (but always down to travel), I plan custom weddings that feel like you, with intention, ease, and zero chaos. With 10+ years of experience, I still light up every time a couple trusts me with their big day. From rehearsal dinner to final dance, I design weddings that are stylish, intentional, and effortlessly you.
We only take one wedding per weekend so you get our full focus, no juggling, no chaos. I’m your Lead Planner from start to finish, bringing calm energy, intentional design, and a streamlined process that fits real life. From your welcome party and rehearsal dinner to your wedding day itself, every detail is custom and elevated, rooted in your story, your style, and not someone else’s trend.
In three words: Calm, Creative, Supportive

Amazing, amazing wedding planner!
Amani Affairs was an invaluable partner in planning our wedding. Their professional and invested communication style ensured we were on top of all the details leading up to the big day. They coordinated seamlessly with our families to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their great taste and attention to the little things elevated our wedding in ways we couldn't have imagined. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication - they truly made our special day unforgettable.

Amani Affairs - the best!!
I always knew I wanted a wedding planner and when I got engaged 2 months after starting a new job and juggling moving in with my fiance, I knew I needed some professional help! From the moment that I spoke with Jihan on our initial phone call (which she set up to get vibes) I knew she was the one for me!!! I quote "you should hire me because I will reassure your mom that yes, there is enough food!". She is so professional, creative, prompt, and just a joy to work with. She made wedding planning (260 guests, planned in 8 months - wow!) the best time for me and my fiance!!! We have recommended her to everyone - she knows everyone in Wilmington and they all rave about her too! I am so grateful I got to work with her and that she was able to make my wedding the best night of my life.
Jihan Francois•Mar 14, 2025Wow—getting a review from both you and your husband? That’s amazing, and we’re so grateful! Planning your wedding at Sea Trail Golf Resort in Sunset Beach was such a joy. With 260 guests and only eight months to plan, you had a lot going on—but you handled it like pros! I’m so glad our partial planning and design services helped make the process easier (and kept your mom’s food worries in check!). It means the world that you trusted us and are sharing the love with others. Wishing you both a lifetime full of happiness and unforgettable moments—cheers to your forever!

Dream wedding!
Amani Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, their communication style was prompt, kind, and deeply understanding of our vision. The quality of their work was nothing short of delicate, tasteful, and elegant. We had a 3-day wedding affair with 3 different parties and DJs, and Jihan was so patient and supportive through even the smallest details. Our wedding was truly beautiful - we had over 100 guests and were blown away by the food, decor, space, music, and even the thoughtful signage and design. Amani Affairs exceeded our expectations in every way and made our special day an absolute joy. We couldn't recommend them more highly!
Jihan Francois•Feb 24, 2025Your wedding weekend was a great undertaking for us. From the rehearsal dinner at Pilot House, the wedding at Brooklyn Arts Center, to the after party at Palate, we ensured every detail was perfect. Your guests truly got to experience Downton Historic Wilmington. Thank you for noticing that we really care about all the details - small and large. We thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding. You guys made it easy!
