Stephanie Married on 29/10/2022The best coordinator around
I don't even know where to begin but I'll start by saying there's a reason Anita has all 5 star, glowing reviews!! Hiring Anita was by far the best and most important decision my husband and I made for our wedding day. From our first interaction, I knew we had to hire her! You will not find a more personable, caring, supportive, organized and attentive coordinator who is so committed to making your planning process and wedding day incredibly stress free and perfect! I am not sure what we would have done without Anita and her team, we are so lucky to have found her! If you are looking for a day of coordinator and team who will make sure every last detail you have planned out gets executed perfectly - you need Anita and her team! Anita has amazing ideas and will help you refine your own to create the day you dreamed of! If you are debating on whether you need a coordinator for your wedding day - you absolutely do, and there's no one better than Anita! Myself, my husband and our families didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day because Anita thinks of everything and had everything under control! Our wedding day was perfect and she is a huge reason why. Anita also has amazing rentals at extremely reasonable prices!
Anita - thank you for everything you have done for us over the past few months, and especially on our wedding day. We appreciate you more than words can say! You are more than just an incredible coordinator, you're an amazing person and we are lucky to have had you be a part of our wedding day!Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
I’m crying AGAIN! lol
I’m so happy that you picked me but more happy that we are now connected FOR LIFE. You are amazing and I can’t wait to see what’s next! I will always be here. ALWAYS

Elaina L. Married on 29/10/2022Lives up to her company name!!!
Anita and her team are the absolute best!! Her whole team is so personable and go over and beyond to make your dream wedding come to life. She literally lives up to her company name. They are on top of every little detail to make sure it happens seamlessly and flawlessly. They are a bride’s dream and a mother of the bride’s dream - they were able to reduce the stress level down to zero!!! I have never seen such a dedicated team that were so invested in making sure the bride and groom’s wedding day vision was achieved. There is not enough room to list all their attributes!!! I would highly recommend Anita and her team - so lovely to work with, dedicated, reasonable, proactive, creative, organized and attention to every small detail!!!! Literally a dream to reality experience!!!!!Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
This was so beautiful! Thank you so much for your kind words. My team absolutely loved working on your daughter’s wedding day. Besides having the greatest family you have some very fun friends and we all really enjoyed the day and night! I look forward to seeing the pictures. Thank you again. Xo -

Kaitlyn Married on 15/10/2022Absolutely amazing!
Anita really did bring my dreams to reality. From our first interaction I knew we were in good hands. She is very personable, professional and has a fine eye for details. Anita and her staff are truly amazing and went above and beyond the entire night, even all my guests loved her! Our day would not have been as memorable if it wasn’t for Anita and for that we are truly grateful. If anyone is looking for a wedding planner do not look anywhere else, Anita has and knows it all!!!Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
Thank you !!!!! I wish you and your family a lifetime of happiness! I am so happy that we got to share this together. From late night calls to laughter and tears. I’m so glad we did it together. Bring on the party! -

Nicole S. Married on 01/10/2022Best Decision Ever
My advice to any bride is:
1. Hire a Day-of-Coordinator. Hiring someone there specifically to help you manage your time and handle all the little details is so important - let's be real, your friends and family will have full plates too and they should get to enjoy themselves.
2. Make Anita that Day-of-Coordinator. I can't even put into words all the little things Anita and Nadia did to make our day go smoothly. They helped lay down some of the décor items and personal touches in our reception space, they helped manage our timeline and our first-look before our ceremony, and somehow took care of all the moving parts and people to have a successful wedding.
You can tell Anita is so passionate about what she does, her goal was to help me achieve my wildest dreams and boy, she nailed it.Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
Thank YOU Nicole! You by far made my job so easy! Honestly in all the years I’ve never seen a bride that put so much heart and soul into every detail. I was so blessed to be a part of your fabulous day. I will forever love Deerhurst resort in the Fall now!!! -

Christy B. Married on 30/09/2022Amazing Experience!
I truly do not know where to begin with this review. Anita and her team made our wedding an absolutely flawless evening. From the very beginning Anita was kind, supportive, and organized. We had a shorter timeline in planning and Anita helped us find a florist and an officiant.
Anita and her team are so incredibly organized that our wedding ran so smoothly, and ahead of schedule. They were so attentive to every detail, and came prepared for any situation. When one of our guests had a wardrobe malfunction they jumped right in to fix it!
Do not hesitate to hire Anita and her team for any event you have! We feel like we made a true friend with Anita and we are sad our wedding is over, because it means we have to stop working with her.
Thank you Anita, Liz, and Realeen for everything you did for us!Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
Thank you for trusting us with your day! My team absolutely made me proud! I’m happy that you and Matt were happy and looking forward to many more years of memories. I’m always here ❤️ -

Heather T. Married on 24/09/2022A real life fairy godmother
Perfection is an understatement! Anita and her team are literally the dream team. These ladies are so well prepared and so unbelievably organized. Anita is a wealth of knowledge and available at all times for any last minute questions or to bounce ideas off of. Leading up to the big day she keeps in contact and there as a friend would be to listen and address any last minute concerns. Her team ran our wedding so perfectly, and if anything went wrong - I had no idea! They were amazing to work with and I can not recommend them enough. Anita and her team are the total package and you will not regret hiring her!Dreams to Reality - Anita's Events's reply:
I’m literally crying! I am super happy that Kim & Raeleen were a part of your day! I can not thank you enough for trusting us with your day. Our memories together will last a lifetime as will our friendship. I’m so excited to see your pictures and I wish you and Dave a lifetime of happiness.
Hugs ! Anita -

The best wedding planner ever! Anita is not only an amazing talented planner, she’s also such a cool person.

![Lousine]()
Lousi Married on 21/08/2021THE best!!!
The most important decision I made was hiring Anita and her team!!!! I probably told her that a 1000 times because that day would not have gone anywhere near as smoothly without her. On the day of the wedding having her and her team there and knowing they were handling everything while I just made sure to enjoy each moment was priceless. I'm fairly picky and she made sure every last detail was to our liking. I still remember our first phone call, I got off the phone and called my now husband, and said we need her! She kept us on time without us feeling like we were on a schedule and she made sure I had everything I needed at all times... I mean they pulled out fans, napkins you name it. You know when someone truly enjoys what they do because of how much they care and you can see and feel that when you work with Anita. My biggest regret was not getting a photo with them. Thank you so much to the team xoxox- Rafi & Lousi-
