Our BEST investment ...
Anita was our best investment for our vow renewal. Initially, my husband and I thought we could handle everything ourselves for our small event. A friend wisely advised against this, leading us to seek coordinators. After meeting Anita, one of our venue’s preferred vendors, we knew she was the right choice—her five-star reviews were well-deserved! We met with a few others before deciding to book with her and what swayed us over was how genuine she was, and how there was this unspoken confidence about her in making our vision come to life (which now after the fact can confidently say that she exceeded way beyond our wildest dreams). It’s crazy to think that we booked Anita a little over a month before our wedding! There are so many things I could say …
- Anita asked insightful questions with things we didn’t even consider (but were necessary). This spoke into her many years of experience in the industry
- Every element of our wedding was executed to perfection. She even added elements on the day of into our decoration that were the finishing touches we needed!
- I wanted an elegant, intimate, and cozy vibes. Every single detail was executed perfectly from the dimming of the lights to the grand reveal of our ceremony to the presentation, etc.
- For our beach ceremony, she recommended the absolute best florist for our floral arch. Despite the wind, the arch held perfectly—trust her vendor recommendations; they are top-notch! We spent so much time (which wasn’t factored into our time) at the arch after the ceremony because it was so grand and beautiful!
- With my non-traditional work schedule, Anita was always accommodating, meeting with me at odd hours and providing unwavering support throughout the planning process.
I have never felt this completely at ease letting go of control to someone I had just met. She allowed us to fully enjoy our day, constantly reassuring us that everything would be fine—and it truly was magical.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, invest in one! And if you’re in between a few coordinators like we were initially, trust us and choose Anita - you won’t regret it. Her five-star reviews genuinely reflect her exceptional work ethic and execution. Thank you, Anita, from the bottom of our hearts—we couldn’t have done this without you!

The BEST planner ever!
A STARR Events did such an amazing job coordinating my wedding day! I hired her for her day-off wedding coordinating services at Chaminade Resort and Spa in Santa Cruz, CA. Her services were much needed for a bride like myself that was in need of someone to make sure I wasn't worried and stressed about the wedding day. Anita was beyond incredible by providing me a wedding planning checklist and day-off document to make sure I had everything altogether and something that she had used for the wedding day. She's so knowledgeable and understands the wedding industry so well, that I felt extremely comfortable and confident that she would bring my wedding day vision to life. Anita was able to keep in contact with all our other vendors and helped facilitate their arrival, departure, and positions for the wedding day. I would recommend Anita and A STARR Events to every bride in need of coordinating services. Thank you Anita for all you've done in making my wedding day memorable and breathtaking! xoxo The Summers

Anita is the BEST! Many of my brides have hired her and they're always so happy they did. She takes care of all the details on the big day so that they can relax, knowing everything will come together just how they imagined. Anita's experience, reliability and creativeness make hiring her a great decision.
ASTARR events is amazing too work with! Anita is amazing at communicating with the bride and other vendors and pay attention to all the details. We've worked with her on a few weddings and her work is always quality and consistent!
