Anita Starr from A Starr Events will be the best part of your wedding planning experience. She is professional, kind, and highly experienced in event planning and flower design. If you are looking for ideas, she has so many reference pictures and website suggestions for your every need. If you already have a clear idea of what you want, she executes your vision perfectly. She is highly organized and will keep you on track with what you should be organizing for your wedding day. The day of the wedding, everything went off without any problems. Somehow the payment for our musician had been misplaced by one of my bridesmaids and Anita paid him with her own personal account. I was so embarrassed that she had to do this, but it just shows how committed she is to making your day go off without a hitch. During our planning process she went through every detail meticulously and everything was placed exactly where we had discussed. Anita was also my florist and I cannot express how gorgeous the arrangements turned out! All of my guests were fighting at the end of the night to take the arrangements home. I had a vision for my arrangements and decor greenery and Anita brought it to life even more beautifully than the inspiration photos. Hiring A Starr events was the best decision I made during my wedding planning process. Where I needed inspiration and ideas, Anita was there providing beautiful suggestions that met my theme and vision perfectly. Where I needed someone to execute my exact vision, Anita went above and beyond my expectations. Whether you are a bride/groom looking for a fountain of suggestions or you are looking for a disciplined professional to execute your vision to the very last detail, Anita Starr is your perfect coordinator. Do not miss out on the opportunity to work with her and her staff--I cannot recommend her enough!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A STARR Events tries their best to accommodate each client by making our services affordable for everyone- so we offer a Full Service (unlimited amount of planning & coordination time) Package, a Limited Service Package, or an Hourly Service Package. Our hourly pricing starts at $40.00 for pre-planning (including rehearsal) and "day of" coordination pricing starts at $275.00 an hour for up to 100 guests- over 100 guests to 200 guests is $375.00 an hour Of course, we encourage potential clients to take advantage of our 30 minute free consultation to assess your needs so we can offer you a personal quote based on your particular needs. Just ask for our Wedding Inquiry Form (emailed to you)- you fill in the blanks and we will base your proposal on the needs listed on the completed form.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The most important thing to consider is your budget. There are so many costs involved with a wedding or special event. Make a list of numbers and assign each important item accordingly. For instance, if the food is the most important cost to you then it should be #1 on your list. If the photography is more important than the flowers, then put photography 2nd and flowers 3rd....and so on. The only way I know to keep costs down if you are on a tight budget is to keep your guest count as low as possible!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In my case, I have been planning & coordinating weddings since the late 80's- long before fancy schools held classes on how to be a wedding planner and years before the movie "The Wedding Planner" showed how hip it was to be in this industry. I never went to school to be an event planner nor do I have a certificate that proves I have a degree, but you can research my reviews, talk to my past clients, view my posts and pictures and see that I am legit.
