Dream team for an enjoyable wedding day full of love!

Working with Anita made everything easy, enjoyable and so beyond gorgeous. Anita was an amazing communicator from well before the wedding day, so it's no surprise that day-of Anita and her team were on top of everything and at the same time set the tone for the day to be fun and carefree for everyone involved. As a photographer, it's rare to find a planner so steadfast, upbeat and also have the day go so smoothly so that the couple can truly focus 100% on the love around them and I can maximize creative moments. Thank you for making the day so wonderful!

10/10 Overall Experience

Anita was in phenomenal as a day of coordinator for our wedding. She was definitely more than just a day of assistance - and with our wedding she did not have an easy task. We had 100 hurricane vases and did our own flowers so she acted as two vendors essentially. She pulled together all the details into one coherent document for all my vendors and led our rehearsal. To think that I could have done that on my own is insanity - Anita’s services were critical to our wedding running so smoothly. In fact, I was so shocked an event like that could run SO problem free. Anita handled everything like an absolute professional. She also stayed overtime to help my family pack up - my family said they were shocked that everything was cleaned up in time. If you are looking for a planner or day of coordinator definitely use Anita! Thank you so much for your hard work to make our wedding day perfect, it truly was everything I wanted!!! ***PLUS ask about her sister for any pastry needs. She made our cake and brownies and wow it was completely gone at the end of the night. We got so many compliments on the dessert!
