    Hire her!! Worth every penny!

    Ann Marie was absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process. From helping us find amazing vendors to negotiating pricing and making sure we stayed on track, she truly went above and beyond every step of the way.

    On the day of our wedding, she was there from start to finish making sure everything ran smoothly so we could actually relax and enjoy our day. Her organization, professionalism, and calming presence made such a difference.

    We genuinely couldn’t have done it without her and highly recommend

    Dare I say… working with anne was simply the best…

    I couldn’t have asked for a better event planner/day-of coordinator and decorator. She was personable, efficient, and genuinely fun to have around on such an important day. She truly made my vision come to life while also keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
    I especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about helping cut costs wherever possible without sacrificing the look or feel of the day. Her organization, creativity, and calm presence made such a difference. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who gets it and executes beautifully.

    Divine Destiny

    I was led to Simply The Best by Ann after a friend recommended this event planner for my son’s Bar Mitzvah. I call it a divine intervention as my son’s Bar Mitzvah reception was planned meticulously. Ann grabbed the reigns and captained the ship from start to finish which left my family and my guests with one responsibility, enjoying this blessed occasion while her professionalism shinned. Hands on, excellent communicator and consummate event planner, I’m so grateful I was led to Simply The Best. There’s no coincidence in the name; Ann is Simply The Best!
    Highly, highly recommend!!

    Simply The Best

    Ann Marie was an absolute joy to work with as our day-of wedding coordinator! From the moment she arrived, she brought a calm, upbeat energy that helped ease all of our nerves. Her attention to detail was incredible—she thought of things we never would have considered and made sure every little moment flowed smoothly.
    What stood out most was her genuinely warm personality. She was so easy to talk to, always ready to help, and made everyone around her feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it was coordinating vendors, keeping the timeline on track, or quietly solving unexpected hiccups before we even noticed, Ann Marie handled everything with grace and professionalism.
    Because of her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our wedding day. We can’t recommend Ann Marie highly enough—she is exceptional at what she does, and we’re so grateful she was part of our big day!

    Day-of-lifesaver!!

    We can’t say enough wonderful things about Simply the Best and Ann Marie! After needing to change coordinators last minute, she stepped in seamlessly, quickly getting up to speed, offering thoughtful and experienced advice, and helping us organize every detail of our day.

    Leading up to our wedding, she communicated with all our vendors, kept everything on track, and made sure every loose end was tied up. On our wedding day, Ann Marie was exactly where we needed her at every moment, ensured our timeline stayed on track, and handled any hiccups throughout the day, some of which we still don’t even know about. We hired Ann Marie just for day-of coordination, but after working with her, we wish we’d had her throughout the entire planning process!

    If you’re looking for someone who will ensure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day, Ann Marie is simply the best. Highly, highly recommend!

    THANK YOU!!

    Ann is simply the BEST!

    Simply the Best truly lives up to the name! Ann was absolutely amazing as my day-of coordinator. From the start, she made sure everything ran smoothly and reassured me that everything would go according to plan — and it did! She answered all my questions, handled communication with vendors, and made sure I didn’t have to worry about a single thing during the ceremony or reception. Thanks to Ann, I was able to fully enjoy my day without any stress. I couldn’t recommend her more!

    AnnMarie is the best ever!

    Boy was I worried!
    Being a designer myself, I was trepidatious about all she promised: every last detail covered without incident?
    You betcha!
    AnnMarie never bothered me as I was getting ready for my marriage to my partner. I had time to rewrite my vows!
    Every detail was dispatched with aplomb. Not only the obvious, but minute details I wanted to be right: mens shoes all polished?; keep me from sweating up a storm? cake not melting or stale? best man sober?
    Turns out there were, of course, minor infractions, but AnnMarie never let me know and all issues were executed with the utmost professionalism and quietness.
    Simply the Best is what it purports to be: an all-inclusive, detail oriented, professional, ease-of-execution vendor.
    Hire AnnMaire/Simply the Best!
    I almost want to gget a divorce and marry someone else so I could have the flawless experience I did.
    Brava!

    My Son’s Wedding

    My son’s wedding was June of 2023 and it was absolutely amazing. We were relieved from the start because we had Ann Marie organize everything for us. She made the day flow as we imagined! The ceremony, cocktail hour and Reception were executed perfectly. The entire wedding was a huge success and my son and his wife were very happy to have hired Simply The Best to handle the day.

    The name says it all!!!!

    What can I even say about Ann!? My daughter in law can be indecisive…she didn’t have a clear vision…where some planners may have felt frustrated with the constant change of ideas, theme, decor…Ann had a very flexible and warm attitude, and used her years of experience to really help us tease out what my daughter in law wanted. The result was amazing! What I pictured as a stressful day was like a dream come true. Ann created a calm environment for all by handling all the stressful details behind the scenes. She gave amazing advice on everything from flowers to MY mother of the groom dress. Everything felt custom made for my son and daughter in law, which is really incredible when you consider we started at nothing!!!! Ann is a brides best friend, a mother in law’s confident and just a wonderful wonderful person! From safety pins (undergarment emergency) to the perfectly timed martini, Ann has an entire toolkit seemingly in her back pocket!!! She can solve any problem in seconds! I cannot possibly imagine this wedding without her!

    It was “Simply the Best!”

    My daughter engaged Ann Marie as a day-of consultant for her wedding this past Spring and we were so happy she did. Ann Marie tended to coordinating all the day-of activities, making sure everything was on schedule. Meeting in advance and reviewing the planning for the day, she was able to make suggestions that made things go more smoothly. Everyone was able to just enjoy the day! Last minute small emergencies such as a missing tux tie and too long sleeves on a groomsman who never tried on his shirt were taken care of. On a personal note, she is charming, helpful and happy and that is just the mood you want for a wedding. Can’t thank her enough. It took so much pressure off.
