Great Destination Wedding Planner

Our experience with A. Marie Events & Design was great, she handled so much for us, as we were traveling from out of state to get married in Florida. We were unable to come down to look at venues so she toured the ones we were interested in which was so appreciated. she handled all of the vendors we had chosen and designed our decor based on our specifications. We would absolutely recommend A. Marie Events & Design especially if you are doing a destination wedding in Florida.

Incredible Planner who cares about her clients

Anita was an incredible person to work with, she was attentive and understood what we wanted for our wedding almost like she could visually see it. She communicated with us every step of the way and and checked on us almost weekly to see if we needed anything. She handled all the communication with our vendors which was a load off of our shoulders and made our planning process so easy. Our wedding day was just bliss. She was amazing as well as her team!!

Love Love Love she was amazing

We contacted Anita after talking to a few other planners and the one thing that stood out was that she understood what we wanted and she was really engaging and compassionate and committed to our needs and wants. She worked very diligently for us as we were traveling from out of state. She assisted in helping with all of our vendors, and found us an amazing venue. She was very communicative and sent us a welcome packet that was very detailed on etiquette and checklist etc. Which was very helpful. Our experience was better than we expected and I would highly recommend her.

Great planner who gets the job done!

We hired A. Marie Events & Design 5 months before our wedding we had a date but nothing done not even a venue. Anita worked so hard to help us find a venue as well as other vendors we needed. She was upfront with us about not finding a venue that fit our needs and vision for the date we wanted as we were starting late.

Anita actually helped us find the perfect venue on the date we wanted and it was perfect which took about 2 weeks because she was on it from the day we hired her. She was very professional, communicative and honest about our expectations. She created a beautiful wedding for us in less than 4 months.

Amazing LGBTQ+ Friendly Wedding Planner

Anita was absolutely amazing my husband and I was looking for a planner who was LGBTQ+ Friendly and we looked at several planners but really loved her personality and her charm. She was very personable and communicated very well what we were getting from her services. No matter how many times we called, texted or emailed her questions or concerns she quickly responded and eased our worries, she connected us with some amazing LGBTQ+ friendly vendors and completely helped us through the whole process. Our wedding day was incredibly memorable and we have Anita to thank for her and her teams assistance in making our dream wedding come to fruition.
