Introduction: 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 such a great addition to the wedding vendors I worked with for our September 2018 wedding. I planned to hire all the vendors myself, so I did not need full coordination services - Annemarie assured me that she was able to offer any level of coordinator I needed. It was very apparent from the start the Annemarie is an industry expert, she was able to answer all of my questions throughout the planning process, and provide great vendor recommendations for gaps I needed to fill in. Annemarie worked closely alongside me in the month leading up to the wedding to get all of the vendor contracts from me, put together a timeline, and contact the vendors ahead of time. I knew that my wedding was in good hands, the wedding day went without a hitch thanks to Annemarie. She is the definition of professional, and I would without a doubt hire her for any future event planning needs, she is trustworthy, adaptive & experienced - it shows!

Details: Reception • Ceremony • Cocktail hour • Pre-ceremony (Bride's "getting ready" location) • 151 - 200 guests • DJ • Caterer • Photographer • Makeup artist / hair stylist • Bartender • Decorator • Venue • Coordination will be needed only at a single location

Annemarie made our son's graduation party fantastic. I was able to relax and enjoy myself while hearing people comment on what a great party it was. I would highly recommend her and use her for a future event.

Details: Graduation party • 51 - 100 guests • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Setup • Decor rental • Catering • Centerpiece • Less than one month • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • I travel to the party planner
