About
I’ve been planning events for 25 years, which means I have a lot of experience to ensure your exciting day goes smoothly. Event planning is something that runs in my blood, it’s something that I picked up on from my mom at a young age. I’ve always been everyone’s go to for event planning, which has given me the confidence to start my own business. I specialize in weddings, corporate events, anniversary parties, birthday parties, baby showers and so much more. I love what I do because I get to be involved in some of my client’s happiest moments. I’m happy take the stress from the clients, so they can just enjoy their event instead of stressing over the small or large details.

Annemarie was the perfect choice for our baby shower. We had 55 adults and 15 children, food/drink vendors, photographer and lots of set up/take down. Annemarie is a super pro and handled everything, including last minute requests. We will definitely use Annemarie's services again in the future. We are very satisfied. Thank you Annemarie for all your help.

Details: Baby shower • 51 - 100 guests • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Day-of coordination • 1 - 2 months • My home, venue, etc.

Annemarie single-handedly made my wedding process better in just one month of hiring her, OBVIOUSLY making me sad to know I didn't have her my entire COVID wedding process (span of 2 years). Let me mention, I reached out around 8am around a month out from my wedding, she responded and allowed me to book her within the hour of reaching out, and got right to work. My venue was not exactly the most friendly or helpful venue leading up to the big day and there was a plethora of 'tasks' and 'must haves' that I would've never been able to know about or achieve if it wasn't for her. She stood up for me and made sure my needs were met with the venue and beyond that. Annemarie made me excited, heard, comfortable, and the focus of every conversation. As the days neared my wedding, she went above and beyond and made the venue 10x more beautiful and seen by us and our families. I promise you won't regret hiring Annemarie, I wish there were more boxes or more stars for me to check because she is more than I could've imagined. The day would've been very different without her and I couldn't be more grateful for somehow organizing my entire life so fast. She and her assistant Skylar were kind, helpful, and accommodating to everyone who attended while still making sure my immediate family/bridal parties didn't have to worry about anything. SO. PLEASEEEE don't hesitate and hire this boss a** woman. You won't regret it and your day will be flawless. My favorite thing I get to look back on is being reminded daily when people ask me "How did everything go??" without hesitation I get to respond "Perfect, not a thing I would change."

Details: 101 - 150 guests • Decorator

Annemarie was a God-send. I hired her to help coordinate my wedding and she helped me every step of the way. My mom was in the hospital for a majority of my engagement, so I was behind by the time I hired Annemarie and I was a little frazzled. She helped me get caught up, and think through details I didn't think of prior to hiring her. She was patient with me, because I wanted things done a little unconventionally. She was SO helpful the day of the wedding with everything - She made sure everything was done correctly, and if there were any snafus, I never knew about it and neither did my guests! Her assistant was also wonderful. I can't speak highly enough about her!
