The BEST Destination Wedding Planner
We made two visits to San Juan to meet with vendors and Anne Marie did a fabulous job setting up all our tastings and arranging the meetings with potential vendors. She is great with keeping in contact regularly during the planning process and I often got asked if planning a destination wedding was difficult. My answer was always no because Anne Marie made it so easy.
If we were to redo the process again, I would have no doubts going with AMK Events. Thank you for the best experience!
Anne made sure our wedding was MAGICAL
She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and priorities, and then went above and beyond to bring them to life. She was incredibly organized and had backup plans in place for potential hiccups, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
Her calm demeanor and problem-solving skills were truly invaluable, and they allowed us to relax and enjoy our day without any worries. Even when it ended up raining for most of the wedding. Not only was Anne a true professional, but she was also an absolute joy to work with. She radiated warmth and friendliness, making us feel comfortable and reassured throughout the planning process. Her prompt responses to our questions and concerns demonstrated her dedication and commitment to making our dream wedding a reality.
She recommended some of the best vendors who shared her passion for excellence. From the talented florist to the incredible musicians, every aspect of our wedding was perfectly executed, thanks to her exceptional network.
I wholeheartedly recommend Anne to anyone seeking a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience. Her expertise, creativity, and friendly nature make her the ideal planner for turning dreams into reality. In the end it almost felt like she was part of our family. Trust me, you won't regret having her by your side on your special day! Thank you Anne from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so magical!
