Must hire!

As a bride, you want your wedding day to be as stress-free and smooth as possible. Anita did that and more! I hired Anita for her "day of" coordination services for my wedding at the Perry House in Monterey, CA in August 2024. From the moment I spoke to Anita on the phone, she was so smart and knowledgeable about all things weddings, but also so friendly, kind, and warm. She was always providing great suggestions and advice when I would come to her for questions, and we kept in contact leading up the wedding. The days leading up to the wedding, she was so on top of everything. She made sure all my vendors were ready, my timeline was up to date, and the bridal party and family knew what was expected of them. The day of the wedding, she had all the decorations set up, and help facilitate of all my needs. She was so on top of everything and it went so perfectly. I cannot stress enough how beneficial it was to have Anita, and my day was so smooth and perfect because of her. And at the end of the night, she helped us put everything in my family's car so that my husband and I could go off to the bar with our friends. On top of everything, Anita was so kind and sweet to work with. You could tell she wanted us to feel so happy and special on the day of the wedding.

My mom was adamant I write a review for Anita so others would use her services. This is what my mom had to say about Anita: When a daughter gets married you want the day to go beautiful! We are forever grateful to Anita who made my daughter’s wedding one of the best days of our lives! She took so much stress away and we were truly able to enjoy our daughter’s wedding! She is creative, kind, detailed, organized, focused, and you feel like everything is in control! She smiled the whole day and was on her toes every minute! How do you thank someone for making our daughter’s wedding a dream come true! We are forever grateful!!

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!
