I can not say enough about how amazing Anita was to work with. I did not really have much of a plan or idea of what I wanted as originally we were getting married in Cuba.
Anita turned my wedding day into a real life fairy tale wedding, there was not one detail she overlooked right up to a basket of goodies in both the ladies and men's washrooms.
My guest are still raving about how incredible she was and kept everything on schedule.
I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a wedding planner to go above and beyond your vision please give Anita a call and I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.

Thank you Shanda and Alfredo! Your wedding was so special to me. From beginning to end we enjoyed every memory made. The outdoor ceremony and the beautiful venue decorated so elegantly. I think all your hard work with the decor pieces added a very stunning touch. Your family is beautiful and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.
