Anna Maria Island Wedding Planner



If you are looking for one of the most scenic and romantic spots on the coast line of America to get married, you have found it here on Anna Maria Island, Florida.

It offers breath-taking views of the gulf and unbelievably amazing white sandy beaches; so soft you’ll think you are walking on sugar. The memories you will build on this island will last a lifetime. Anna Maria Island is a wonderful place to begin your new chapter in life with your spouse-to-be.

An Anna Maria Island wedding planner will help you have the wedding you always dreamed of. So how do you choose such an important person? Ask around! Many people involved in the wedding business can give you a few names of reliable, proven wedding planners. Arrange to have interviews with the ones that seem to fit your personality, style and what you are imagining your big day to be. Most wedding planners offer a free initial consultation and will gladly sit down with you to chat about your vision. Before you go into the interview, have all your questions ready and on hand. The more detailed your questions are, the better feel you get for their talents and eventually letting them handle your wedding. Be as elaborate as you can in your details, the more the better.
Ask to see photos of recent events that the planner has been involved with and ask about what the bride was looking for in the wedding theme. This can give you an idea of how well they can interpret your wishes and make them come to life. Also, make sure the Planner is very familiar with that area and they aren’t from out of town. Hiring a Planner from Anna Maria Island is going to give you the inside scoop on the best beaches, restaurants, and venues and people to talk to.

Your wedding planner can be your consultant, planner, organizer and financial adviser all wrapped up into one. The wedding planner is going to work according to a particular timeline and will be able to assist you and your partner on how to schedule the events you choose. With the hectic lives that we live today, we may not have time to compare all avenues and possibilities for the details of the wedding. Since a Planner has done it numerous times, they know who will be the best for each type of service you may need. Having a professional handle the details can be the difference between a nice wedding and the exquisite wedding you’ve dreamed of and all on the same budget.
Once you have chosen your ideal wedding planner in the Anna Maria Island area, you want to build a relationship with them. The better you and your planner know each other, the better chance you will have of getting exactly what you are looking for on your big event! Make sure that you and your planner have a written contract to ensure the services. Give your planner some pictures and ideas of what you want and the money you are willing to spend. Discuss your every want and desire and prioritize them.

My parents brought me to Anna Maria Island every summer when I was a child and although I’ve seen the sunsets there a hundred times over the years, I never appreciated until my wedding day 10 yrs ago. The glow that I remember seeing on their faces is the same glow that I see captured on my face and my husband’s face from our special day in the most beautiful photographs we have around our home. The colors are absolutely out of this world!
I have been very lucky to travel with work and I can say with all honesty that with all the different sunsets that I have experienced from around the world, I have not seen any more stunning than the ones on Anna Maria.

The sunsets on Anna Maria are the perfect backdrop for any occasion. Not only for weddings, but family reunions, romantic getaways and annual vacations. They are the perfect ending to a glorious day. Sit back in your chair and relax in the moment or enjoy a walk into the sunset along the beach hand in hand with your love as the waves rush over your feet. Ahhh….what beautiful memories we have.

With our hectic schedules and 3 children later, we haven’t had an opportunity to get back to Anna Maria, but believe me, I have the sunsets embedded in my minds eye and will keep them in that special place until I get back there to see them again.
