Description:

With 25 years of event planning experience under my belt, I have the expertise to ensure your special occasion runs smoothly. I inherited my passion for event planning from my mother at a young age, and have since become my friends' and family's go-to person for all their event planning needs. This has given me the confidence to establish my own business, specializing in a wide range of events including weddings, corporate events, anniversaries, birthdays, and baby showers. What I love most about event planning is being a part of my clients' happiest moments. I aim to relieve them of any stress by taking care of every small and large detail, allowing them to simply enjoy their event.

Our son's graduation party was fantastic, all thanks to Annemarie. Her efforts allowed me to unwind and cherish the occasion as I heard guests praising the party's perfection. I would definitely suggest her to others and would love to have her onboard for any future events.

Annemarie was an outstanding addition to the team of wedding vendors involved in our September 2018 wedding. As I had planned to manage all vendors myself, I did not require complete coordination services. However, Annemarie assured me that she could provide any level of coordination I needed. Throughout the entire planning process, it was clear that Annemarie was an expert in her field. She provided valuable recommendations for vendors, and was always available to answer my questions. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Annemarie worked closely with me to finalize contracts, create a timeline and coordinate with vendors. As a result, I had complete confidence in the smooth running of my wedding day. Her professionalism was exemplary, and I would not hesitate to work with Annemarie again for any future event planning. Her vast experience, adaptability and trustworthiness were evident throughout the process!

I had the pleasure of working with Annemarie as a vendor for our wedding in September of 2018, and she was an invaluable addition to our team. Although I had intended to manage the vendors myself, Annemarie offered her coordination services at any level I needed. From the outset, it was clear that she was an industry expert; her expert knowledge allowed her to provide recommendations for gaps in the planning process, answer my questions, and offer practical solutions. Annemarie worked closely with me in the month leading up to the wedding, gathering our vendor contracts, creating timelines, and reaching out to the vendors. Her professionalism and adaptability put my mind at ease knowing that the event was in good hands, and the day proceeded without a hitch. I trust Annemarie implicitly and would not hesitate to hire her for future event planning needs. She goes above and beyond in creating memorable experiences, such as ensuring that my belongings were safely attended and bringing us drinks during the cocktail hour - highlighting her nature as a true professional.

In just a month of hiring Annemarie, she single-handedly made my wedding process much better. However, it made me sad to know that I didn't have her for my entire two-year COVID wedding process. After reaching out to her around 8am, a month before my wedding date, Annemarie promptly responded and allowed me to book her within an hour. She immediately got to work and made me feel excited, heard, comfortable, and the focus of every conversation. Throughout the process, my venue was not the friendliest, and there were numerous 'tasks' and 'must haves' that would have been impossible for me to achieve without her help. Annemarie stood up for me and made sure that all my needs were met with the venue and went above and beyond to make it ten times more beautiful than what I could have ever imagined. With her assistance, my day was flawless and my favorite memory is being able to say without hesitation that everything went perfect. Annemarie's help was invaluable, and I wish there were more boxes or stars to check for her services. Her and her assistant Skylar were kind, helpful, and accommodating to all attendees, ensuring that my immediate family and bridal party were free of worry. Hiring her was the best decision I made, and I highly recommend her services.
