A beautiful perfect day

Anne was a pleasure to work with, very efficient, organized, professional, and fun. She took the time before hand with the bride and groom to make sure she knew their vision of the day and brought it all to life. As the mother of the bride I was able to enjoy my daughter’s big day spend time with her and all the guests and not to have worry about one little detail. Such piece of mind when you have PREP on your side. It was a beautiful day and we highly recommend her.

Anne is everything you need and more!

Anne came to us with a glowing smile, and continued to do so the entire time she worked with us. Her personality is relatable, friendly, and brings a great sense of humor. She was confident with taking on the requirements of our day, fitting her services in with our needs, and made sure all details were covered and executed as we wished. She coordinated with all our other vendors to make everything flow, and helped to problem-solve when needed. She also kept the entire day on schedule right down to the beat, which isnt easy when managing a large group of people. All in all, she packaged up our special day with a big bow on top. Took the stress out of the little things, and felt like a part of our wedding party, we were so happy to have her on our team.

Made the day stress free + perfect

Anne is the exact person you want when planning and executing an event. She is detail oriented, can see the vision and make it come to life, is very organized, extremely professional and can handle any situation with class. She is very skilled at what she does and will go above and beyond for you. I highly recommend her services.
