We would HIGHLY recommend working with Anthony to anyone getting married. He is very professional, amazing with communication, and helpful in every aspect. Our wedding turned out perfectly and we had very minimal stress throughout the entire planning process. He has a lot of experience and you notice that from your first meeting. Over our time working together, it felt as if he was a part of the family. We really cherished our time with him and will be recommending him to all of our friends! ❤️🤩

Anthony is an amazing wedding planner. He is knowledgeable about everything wedding in Des Moines. He is very organized. His planning guide is so detailed and he does not miss any small detail. Not only was his planning amazing, but his day-of coordination was above and beyond. Him and his assistants are there for anything needed. The wedding day was very smooth thanks to them. Having a coordinator took so much stress out of the day. I highly recommend Anthony and his team.

Every bride needs an Anthony on their side. This man goes above and beyond to make your day as special as can be. My husband and I had the extreme pleasure of hiring Anthony and and the use of The Conservatory as our venue. It was beyond perfect and accommodating to what we had in mind. The venue is beautiful and well kept. There were no issues the entire time. The entire staff was so nice and professional. Thank you so much for making our wedding everything we could have hoped for and more. Will recommend to any couple looking for the perfect place for their day!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we truly would. In the most humble way possible, Anthony and his team are ultimate superstars. Initially, we simply wanted a day-of planner and while they offer this service, I’m so glad we opted for full assistance of Anthony and his team throughout the wedding planning process. Anthony CONSISTENTLY goes above and beyond to ensure no detail is missed. His planning process and procedure was thoughtfully catered to the wants/needs of what we wanted in our wedding. With his help, vendor contracts and communication was easy. He also brought YEARS of great knowledge/experience and many resources to the table to ensure smooth execution of the details leading up to and on our wedding day. We savored the planning process because with the help of Anthony, it was without a doubt enjoyable to plan. Day of, his team had everything handled and because of this we along with our families were able to soak in every moment of the day. We’re forever grateful Out of Box was able to take part in our wedding. Even if you don’t think you need a planner, it’s worth reaching out Anthony. Thank you, Out of Box and Anthony!

We could not be happier with our experience and had a lot of fun working with Out of Box & Anthony. Would recommend them to anyone.

We felt lucky to find Anthony. We booked with only 2 months until the wedding day. Anthony came in and made everything perfect for us. He is a must hire!

The kindest staff! Everyone took such good care of us especially the owner who made sure our every need was met and beyond. I couldn’t recommend this vendor enough, not only for their experience but for the outstanding customer service and attention to details. Kudos!

Anthony and his team know how to plan weddings. He listens and also lets you know his thoughts from his many years of wedding planning experience. We really appreciated that! He helped us get our other vendors for the wedding. Saley was wonderful to work with on flowers and The Girls Catering was great to work with too!

Anthony and his team are outstanding! I hired Out of Box Weddings for event management, planning, and day of coordination but I ended up getting so much more. From instant email communications to answering questions beyond normal planning - Anthony came through and beyond. Can't thank him or his team enough!

Anthony and his team were so knowledgeable and supportive during the planning process and events leading up to the wedding day. Anthony has extensive knowledge of the entire wedding related hospitality industry, and it shows in his professionalism and connections in the Des Moines area. Everything was perfect and everyone had a great time!
