The best coordinator you could have in your corner at your wedding
Where do we even start with Anita?! She’s a literal superhuman in so many ways. Last year my then fiancé and I decided to hire a coordinator for our wedding to help ease any stress I knew I would face as I’m such a perfectionist and want to make sure everything went smoothly for our wedding. I found Anita as she worked with the venue we had booked back in 2021 for so many years and no one knew that place better than she did. And boy, am I glad we did. We clicked instantly from that first phone call and my fiancé and I were underway into planning our wedding.
My unexpected (but ecstatically happy) news about being pregnant ten months before our wedding date threw everyone a slight curveball (still a fun phone call hahaha). But, Anita was amazing and helped guide me into planning our wedding that we decided to not push and still continue - our little star was just going to be a part of our special day. We managed to get the majority of our wedding planning done before our son was born because of Anita, as she wanted me to enjoy being a mom once my son arrived, and once I have birth, the stress levels leading up to our wedding were not as bad as I thought it would be since we had gotten everything almost all done. Even the week before the wedding I had been, in my opinion, the chillest bride lol and that was all because of Anita and her kicking me in the butt to get things done beforehand!!
The day of the wedding with a lot of things going on there were some issues but like I said, she is literal superhuman and is absolutely the best as she made sure everything went well - I wasn’t worried at ALL with her in our corner and everything worked out. Her and her team made our day absolutely perfect and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a coordinator for their wedding. Any worry, any thought, any questions or concerns you could have about your wedding she is always there to ease your mind and help you through it. You will not be disappointed!
Anita, you know I absolutely adore you and we are so eternally grateful for what you have done for us the last couple of months and the support you have shown us. We have been so lucky to have you be a part of our special day. Thank you so so much.

The heart and soul of event planning
From the very first conversation with Anita, I knew that she was the wedding coordinator for us. Her positive energy and vast experience is immediately noticeable within the first 5 minutes of your conversation. She is incredibly down to earth, realistic and so so hard working. Anita truly makes sure your day is stress free and as smooth as possible. She will handle all of the weird wonky things that come up during your event, and you won’t find out until after!! You can not put your special occasion (in our case, wedding) into better hands than hers. Trust me, I am in the event industry as a corporate event planner and it was so hard for me to hand over the reigns when I worked so hard to create our wedding vision. Anita was amazing at bringing my vision to life and making adjustments on the fly. Whatever you could possibly need Anita and her team is there. Call Anita, talk to her, and you will know right away that she is the perfect person for your day.From the very first conversation with Anita, I knew that she was the wedding coordinator for us.

I absolutely love this review! And I enjoyed working with you so much. Your wedding definitely had us all having the greatest time of our lives, watching you dance, watching you enjoying your time with your friends meant that we had done our job. From beginning to end I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. I wish you both a wonderful future together and I’m so glad to have been a part of your day. Like I said to you before, we will now always be family. -

She's the bomb - takes control, direct & FUN!!!!
You cannot go wrong with Anita. I am recommending her to all my friends/family. She will save you countless hours by being so so helpful and her problem solving is top notch. The first time I spoke to her on the phone, I knew she was the right planner for me - she spoke to cost effectiveness, no BS, to the point and her experience shows. She's also super funny and easy to talk to! Her day-of team was also fantastic - especially her digital creator who was able to capture the full day. Not just the big moments but also the candid moments/ moments in between events where us and the wedding party were just having fun. After our wedding, we all had a nice laugh sharing these pics and videos and saved us from getting a videographer - highly recommended and cost effective!! I can't say enough good things about Anita & her team. 11/10!!You cannot go wrong with Anita. I am recommending her to all my friends/family.

Unforgettable Wedding Magic: Anita and Trish Made Our Day Perfect!
I just have to rave about Anita Donato and her amazing assistant Trish! They were absolutely incredible throughout the entire month leading up to our wedding. Anita’s organizational skills are out of this world—she had everything running like a well-oiled machine, making sure not a single detail was missed. Seriously, working with Anita felt like I had a wedding fairy godmother. She gives off total mom vibes in all the right ways!
Her eye for detail was impressive, and she communicated so clearly with all our vendors that everything went off without a hitch. When unexpected hiccups came up, Anita handled them with such calm and grace that we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Both Anita and Trish were so creative and really helped bring our vision to life in ways we hadn’t even thought of. They were super personable and got along well with everyone, which made the whole process feel really smooth and enjoyable.
I also want to give a special shoutout to Anita for the wonderful photos and videos she took throughout the day. These were the very first shots I received, and I was completely surprised and so so grateful to have something to look over while we await the professional photos from our photographer. It was such a thoughtful touch that added to the joy of the day and kept the memories fresh as we waited for the official images.

The best wedding coordinator!
Anita did such a great job with our wedding earlier this summer. We had a combination South Asian/Western style wedding and we were nervous about not having a South Asian wedding coordinator but Anita did a wonderful job not only during the day of, but for months leading up to the event. She helped us work through all of our planning, scheduling, and our many ideas. Anita helped us find a florist, organized decor and made sure everything stayed on time, even with our hour long ceremony. She went above and beyond leading up to the wedding, and was an indispensable help on the day of. Her services are very fairly priced and we would definitely recommend using her as a wedding planner/ coordinator. Everything on our wedding day went so well and we couldn't have done it without Anita.Anita did such a great job with our wedding earlier this summer.

Best wedding coordinator ever
If I could give 10 stars to Anita I would. I can't begin to express how awesome she was for our wedding. She completely saved my wedding and organized what a huge mess it started out to be. She found me a caterer that would cater 2 weeks before the wedding, took over all of the major responsibility with the vendors and really closed out the itinerary in a very short time span. I truly couldn't have made the wedding great without her help. Also a bonus she is such a cool person and fun person to talk to as well. I would hire her for any type of event going forward.If I could give 10 stars to Anita I would. I can't begin to express how awesome she was for our wedding.

Great Wedding Coordinator
I was recently privileged to have Anita as a wedding planner at a wedding I attended. I was in the party and speaking in the wedding and she was a great help throughout the night. She was very friendly and approachable. Everything went extremely well and from my vantage point she couldn't have done a better job! I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who asks!I was recently privileged to have Anita as a wedding planner at a wedding I attended.
