I worked with Ani earlier this year and wanted to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. We hired her as our 90 day coordinator to help pull everything togeth...
er, but unfortunately, we found ourselves having to manage her more than any of our other vendors. It was a tough experience.
Communication was a major issue. She was often unresponsive, missed appointments, and did not respond to texts. She claimed cellphone issues for weeks. She also failed to place the paper goods order she had committed to handling. We had to spend hundreds in rush delivery fees for our menus and place cards. At one point, we went weeks trying to get in touch with her. Keep in mind our contract was only 12 weeks.
While she initially came across as practical and organized, our experience ultimately did not reflect that. I unfortunately cannot recommend her to other couples. It’s not worth the stress! Spend your money elsewhere.
We chose Ani based on a strong initial impression where she came across as organized, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic
About five months before our wedding, after we had alr...
eady paid over 50% of her fee, communication dropped off completely. What started as occasional delays turned into weeks of total silence. Emails, texts, calls, and even messages across multiple platforms went unanswered, despite the fact that she remained active on social media promoting her business.
This wasn’t just frustrating, it created chaos in the months leading up to our wedding with 0 support from Anis team. Time-sensitive tasks were left incomplete, including sending invitations, finalizing a makeup artist, and coordinating after-party logistics. In some cases, she had already received vendor quotes but failed to pass them along in time, forcing us to scramble and ultimately pay more for last-minute bookings.
What made the situation worse was the complete lack of acknowledgment. We reached out multiple times to flag urgency and even to check if everything was okay. We never received a response or explanation.
Based on our experience, this was not a one-off issue but a pattern of behavior that escalated the closer we got to the wedding. We ultimately made the decision to replace her a few months out. Not only did this significantly reduce our stress, but it actually ended up saving us money compared to continuing with her.
To this day, we have received no explanation or apology. Ani may have industry connections, but reliability and communication are the most critical parts of a wedding planner’s job, and those were consistently lacking. She is not cut out to be an event planner
I am an October 2026 bride, and we hired Ani Wolff in January 2025 with high expectations. At the beginning, both Ani and her assistant were very responsive, and we felt confident ...
in our decision.
However, everything changed in early 2026. From January–February 2026, communication became a major issue. I had to follow up on items multiple times, and there were instances where tasks she had committed to—both verbally and as outlined in our contract—were not completed.
We scheduled a Zoom meeting in March to address these concerns directly. During that conversation, Ani acknowledged the lack of communication and assured us things would improve. Unfortunately, after that meeting, we never heard from her again. She also never responded to multiple requests for her to transfer ownership of our wedding website so I had to create a new website.
At that point, we made the decision to terminate our contract and hire a new planner.
Planning a wedding is already a stressful process, and the lack of communication and follow-through added unnecessary stress at a time when we needed reliable support the most.
I would strongly recommend that others carefully consider this experience and move forward with a planner who is consistently communicative, organized, and dependable.
Where do I begin. If you want a best friend, someone who is honest, loyal, truthful, kind, nurturing, respectful, and who truly wants the best for you and your family, hire Ani.
L...
et me set the record straight: my review cannot fully capture the value she added to my wedding and to my life. Beyond the wedding, I gained a lifelong friend. She approaches your wedding not just as part of her job, but with genuine love for you and your family, ensuring your special day is everything you dreamed of and more.
And when it comes to the nitty-gritty, she takes it SERIOUSLY. She is on the money. Tough when she needs to be, never shies away from hard conversations, puts her head down, and WORKS. She is incredibly well-connected within the wedding industry, has amazing relationships with vendors, and expects the best from them, which means you get the best.
Everyone around her delivers 110%. Not just her, but the entire team at her company. They are diligent, competent, understanding, and they just… execute.
I’m honestly sad that my wedding era is over!! I’ll miss our weekly meetings and spur of the moment long phone calls, but I gained a lifelong friend in Ani, and that’s something I’ll never lose.
She is the embodiment of work hard, play hard. Want an iconic wedding? The wedding of your dreams?
HIRE HER!!!!
Ani Wolff ensured that every detail of wedding planning reflected our unique love story, while collaborating closely with trusted local vendors to deliver a seamless, high-impact c...
elebration. She was organized, creative and genuinely invested in making our event unforgettable and executed everything with so much care and professionalism.Ani was successful in creating an atmosphere that felt both elegant and personal. She was a consummate professional in providing impeccable attention to detail and executed every aspect of our special day. We are forever grateful for her incredible service and orchestrating a wedding day truly unforgettable.
Ani is, quite simply, the best wedding planner you could ever hope for—better than the planner you’d imagine in your wildest dreams.
My husband and I hired Ani as a partial plan...
ner 5 months before our wedding after having already chosen our venue and a few initial vendors. From the moment she stepped in, she transformed the entire process. I have so many extraordinary things to say about Ani, not only about her talent as a planner but also about her warmth, her energy, and the kind of person she is, that it’s hard to know where to begin but here goes.
I chose a partial planning package because I thought I was too Type A to let go of control, but it turns out that Ani is the Type A soulmate I didn’t know I needed. I suffer from major decision paralysis, and from the minute she joined the process, she brought clarity and structure. She sent me beautifully organized checklists, spreadsheets, and internal deadlines so nothing fell through the cracks. Her reminders were always gentle but effective—never overwhelming. Her organizational skills are truly unmatched.
She also has deep industry connections and helped me secure all remaining vendors—each one a perfect fit. She showed up for everything: tastings, linen selections, floral samples; she stayed in constant communication with every vendor, tracked payment schedules for me, and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly.
Ani is a fierce, tireless and unstoppable go-getter. She will bring your vision to life, and if you don’t yet know what your vision is, she will help you discover it. She has the answer to every question you can imagine, even to those you don’t even know to ask. Throughout the process, we felt like we were her only clients. Her responsiveness is almost superhuman. She always answered texts within minutes, often seconds. And always with an amazing attitude. She makes you feel taken care of in a way that is both comforting and confidence-boosting.
But beyond all that, her personality is the true magic. Wedding planning can be stressful, and emotional, and finding someone you click with is essential. Ani is that person. She is sweet, funny, grounded, and so easy to be around. My family and bridal party are full of big personalities, and Ani navigated everyone with grace. She read the room and knew exactly what each person needed. Everyone loved her.
We became friends and remain friends years later. You can be completely yourself with her. She will talk you off every ledge - wedding related or not. She is young, charming, vibrant, diligent, and radiates this incredible positive energy without being over the top. She is the exact person you want by your side on your wedding day.
Her team is equally great, going above and beyond. For example, I unexpectedly got my period the morning of my wedding. Before I could even process the panic, someone from her team had sprinted out, bought tampons, and returned before I even knew she’d left. That’s the level of care you get with Ani.
I would hire her again in every lifetime. My wedding was the happiest, most fun day of my life, and I owe so much of that to Ani. If you’re lucky enough to get a chance to work with her, do not hesitate. She is extraordinary.
Ani was a fantastic wedding planner. She gave us the wedding we wanted in ways we wouldn’t have even imagined. Every step along the way, Ani was professional and thorough. The 18 m...
onths leading up to our wedding was insanely busy for us outside of wedding planning. Still, Ani always reduced our stress and made our wedding tasks manageable. My husband got to saying, “in Ani we trust.”
We got so many compliments on every aspect of our wedding. Several friends said it was the best they’d been to in years. Ani made that happen for us. Hiring her was the best wedding decision we made.
We hired Ani for partial planning almost 10 months before our wedding based on a strong referral. She was extremely responsive before our first payment, but communication dropped o...
ff immediately afterward. Looking back, the warning signs were there. By 8 months out she was already taking weeks to respond, and the lack of follow through only got worse.
Attention to detail was nonexistent. During our monthly check ins she repeatedly asked the same basic questions, including whether we were doing a DJ or a band. She told us at 6 months out that she had secured a DJ retainer, but after 3 months of vague updates she admitted she had never contacted the vendor at all. We were then forced to find a last-minute option during a popular wedding weekend and ended up booking a DJ through a friend.
Budget management was sloppy and unreliable. She went over budget and regularly missed large sums and outstanding invoices in the spreadsheet she maintained. I eventually had to track and manage every payment myself because her numbers could not be trusted.
Communication became one of the worst parts of the process. She ignored emails for days or weeks at a time. When we were trying to print our invitations, she told us she had already sent everything to the printer. After hearing nothing for weeks, I contacted the vendor directly and learned she had never submitted anything. Our invitations went out late because of this. During that period she also blocked me from viewing her Instagram stories even though she was actively posting from events instead of responding to us.
Vendor coordination and follow through were incredibly poor. She booked a shuttle vendor that failed to return to our venue on the wedding night, leaving guests stranded. She repeatedly canceled scheduled calls with me and my family. She also failed to follow through on small commitments, like promising she would stop by our tasting and then simply not showing up or acknowledging it.
The wedding weekend reflected the same pattern of negligence. She insisted she should be the one to put my veil on and even asked my hairstylist how to secure it properly. Despite this, she never put the veil on me. I did not notice until it was too late and as a result I never got to wear my veil. The rehearsal she led the day before lasted about 5 minutes and was so vague and rushed that we had noticeable fumbles before the ceremony.
By the final 3 months, I was effectively doing all of the planning myself. I had to re-check every catering order and review every detail because I no longer trusted her judgment. During this time I asked her multiple times if she genuinely felt capable of doing the job and explicitly gave her the option to step away if she could not meet the expectations of the contract. She repeatedly insisted she could handle it. At that point it felt like she stayed only to collect the rest of her fee.
When we pressed for an explanation for her declining performance, she cited her divorce. While I sympathize with anyone navigating a difficult time, it didn't excuse the lack of professionalism, missed tasks, or the impact on our wedding. By then we had paid most of her fee and felt trapped by sunk costs.
In the end, I handled the majority of the planning myself while still paying close to $15k for services that caused more stress than support. Our wedding was beautiful in spite of the planning, not because of it. Based on my experience, I do not recommend working with her at all.
I am disappointed with Ani Wolff and her lack of attention to details and professionalism in the planning of my daughter's wedding. The "Ani Wolff Team" was not on-site on the wedd...
ing day as promised in the signed contract. Agreed upon tasks were not completed with no explanation, requiring last minute assistance from family members and the bridal party. Despite several reminders and false promises, Ani failed to distribute the wedding day schedule to the wedding party and family. Without the distribution of the promised schedule, there were missed photos with family and close friends due to confusion on arrival times. The bride and groom had to manage day-of schedule logistics themselves. Further, there was a lack of communication of a change by Ani to those who were scheduled to speak during the reception. The lack of coordination created uncertainty and unnecessary stress for the Maid of Honor and Best Man on the timing of their speeches. The Father-Of-The Bride was surprised to receive a 30-second notice before it was time for him to give his speech. Something as simple as this, especially with repeated requests to update our most important guests on the scheduling, should have never been missed. Ani inaccurately reported the number of vendors/staff at the reception, which resulted in unnecessary expenses that I have been unable to recover. The emails and formal letter sent to Ani in hopes of amicably discussing our concerns have gone unanswered, further demonstrating her lack of accountability and professionalism.
Based on the reviews in 2024, my wife and daughter enthusiastically selected Ani Wolff Weddings as a wedding planner for her September 2025 wedding. However, current reviews of Ani...
Woff on "The Knot" are more consistent with our recent experiences with this wedding planner.
We attempted to address our concerns with Ani Wolff directly, but did not receive a response. I am sending this review as a heads-up to all future brides. Ani Wolff left us disappointed with the absence of many deliverables as outlined in her contract, in addition to her lack of communication in the days leading up to the wedding.
As the Father-of-the-Bride, I should have paid my daughter for all the work she did to coordinate her own wedding. This review could have detailed all the things that Ani Wolff Weddings promised and did not deliver that resulted in unnecessary expenditures on our end. Based on my disappointment with her services and lack of response, I can only provide a rating of one star!
Ani ghosted us in the final three months before our wedding, without any explanation.
When we hired her in July 2024, we were incredibly excited. She seemed organized, creative, e...
xperienced, and genuinely friendly, exactly what we were looking for in a wedding planner. Unfortunately, our experience changed dramatically in the final stretch before our wedding.
After paying our third installment in July 2025, communication with Ani completely stopped. Emails, texts, and calls went unanswered for weeks as our wedding date quickly approached. Monthly meetings were routinely canceled without explanation or rescheduling.
At first, we tried to be understanding, life happens, and people get busy. But total silence from someone we trusted to be our guide through the planning process was deeply upsetting. It left us scrambling to fill critical gaps on our own and caused unnecessary stress during what should have been an exciting time.
Out of desperation, our sister-in-law sent a fake inquiry to see if Ani was even still working. She responded almost immediately, and even followed up to set up an in-person meeting. It was heartbreaking to realize she was choosing to ignore us while continuing to take on new clients.
Meanwhile, she continued to post actively on social media and attend events, yet never once reached out to us with a simple update or explanation. Even a brief note saying she could no longer continue would have been kinder than leaving us in limbo for nearly two months, during the most important stage of planning.
Thankfully, we eventually brought on a new coordinator who completely saved our wedding, but we were left hurt and disappointed by the lack of accountability. To this day, we still don’t know why she stopped responding.
We’re sharing this review not out of anger, but to help other couples make an informed decision. Weddings are time-sensitive and emotional — reliability and communication should be the foundation of your vendor team. No couple should have to experience this kind of stress or uncertainty so close to their wedding day.
We also wish we had seen the previous, eerily similar review before booking, it seems this is part of a clear pattern. We would strongly encourage couples to consider other planners.
When we first interviewed Ani for the job, she came off as capable, communicative, bubbly, and responsive. All traits that disappeared by when we were 5 months out from our wedd...
ing. After paying Ani over 50% of her contract amount, there were several points in time where she would go completely AWOL, ignoring emails, texts, phone calls, voicemails, and even instagram messages for multiple weeks at a time. All while posting on social media with prior wedding pics and marketing for potential future clients.
After a first scare where she disappeared for weeks but then resurfaced, she once again went radio silent after a regular monthly meeting with multiple time-sensitive action items outstanding… Such as helping us get our wedding invites out, finalizing a makeup artist contract, and helping book afterparty food and logistics. As a result of her disappearance, we didn’t just end up having to scramble to get these things done, we actually ended up having to pay more for contractors she was sent quotes for but never passed along to us to in time.
She ignored our exceedingly polite messages pointing out these issues and asking to address them, even messages asking if everything was okay given the concerning total disappearance.
All in all, by switching a few months out, we actually ended up saving money versus what we still were supposed to pay Ani. But honestly, thank god, because it definitely saved us many more months of anxiety and unnecessary stress.
It’s unfortunate as Ani did have a good rolodex for some vendors, but it’s not worth the frustration. To this day we still have not received any explanation or apology, which strikes me as odd for someone working in this business. If you do have no choice but to sign with Ani, I would recommend adding a clause in the contract regarding communication expectations which if not met will require a reimbursement of prior payments.
We cannot speak highly enough of Ani and the incredible job she did as our wedding planner. From start to finish, she was so organized and kept everything on track, ensuring that n...
othing was overlooked. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and every aspect of the wedding day was perfectly executed. Ani designed a truly beautiful celebration that exceeded our expectations, making our special day feel seamless and stress-free. My husband and I are so grateful for her dedication and hard work, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for the best wedding planner!
We cannot say enough about how incredible Ani is.
First off, we consider ourselves lucky to have even stumbled upon Ani without a referral (thank you, Google!). From the very firs...
t meeting with her, it was clear that partnering with her would set us up for success, and that she was made to bring order and flawless execution to the fun, but sometimes chaotic, process that is planning a wedding.
It would be too easy to say that Ani is detailed oriented - she showed us this on our first venue visit, pointing out the important pros and cons to us, and asking the venue rep the important questions that we would have never thought of. But Ani’s true skill, at least to us, is that she cares. She cared about our vision, our preferences, and our opinions, and that’s really a testament of how much she loves what she does.
Whether it was dealing with the multiple vendors, putting pen to paper and coming up with a mood board for us to piece together our vision, or organizing all contracts and budgeting, Ani was always one step ahead when it came to keeping things in check, and so very calm! We found the tools she provided us with, including the docs, checklists, vendor options, (and even restaurant recs for our honeymoon!) all to be extremely helpful throughout the planning process. It was also extremely helpful that she’s worked with so many of our vendors before, and knew who to go to for what - they all were amazing.
Her flexibility and ability to adapt to any environment or any request we had is admirable. But perhaps even more important for us was her ability to give us her genuine opinion, this you can’t put a price on.
Ani made our special weekend more than we ever knew it could be - it was all perfect. Her team is amazing, too. They were all organized, efficient, patient and so kind. For our rehearsal dinner and wedding, we literally had nothing to worry about - everything was executed more than perfectly!!
Ani is more than a wedding planner to us, but now a lifelong friend, which we are so grateful for!! We would definitely recommend Ani and team to plan your wedding!!!
Ani was just the most incredible wedding planner to work with. She came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. I had a tight turnaround for planning my wedding, and she was...
great from start to finish. She is super organized (has everything tracked in Google and Asana) so always knows where everything is. She stayed on top of the tons of vendors that I had, and made sure every single contract was fulfilled, signed, and paid. I’m so grateful for that because that is the worst part of planning a wedding! She was highly communicative with me and could be reached at a moments notice. She was very helpful to my mom and mother-in-law and was responsive to their needs as well. The lead up to the wedding, she was incredibly thorough with everything I needed, and recommended great vendors when I needed recommendations. Ani is very good with feedback- I asked her to be very direct with me and she absolutely did that which really helped me to know the status of everything.
On the day of the wedding, she was beyond incredible. She managed the entire day flawlessly. I’m sure there were things that happened (as it happens with all events) but she fixed them so quickly that no one even noticed. Every single person from my family involved in the wedding process was very very happy with Ani’s work on the day. Everyone knew what to do and where to go, and the vendors were managed flawlessly. I felt so calm during the weekend because I didn’t feel like I had to worry about anything- Ani was on it.
I highly recommend her for even the most complex and large weddings- she really nailed it and was so pleasant to work with on top of that!
When I began the wedding planning process I knew I could not execute my vision or stay organized without a wedding planner. I set appointments with many different planners but afte...
r meeting Ani I knew she was the one. Ani’s attention to detail and capturing every aspect of my vision I had dreamed of my entire life was unreal. She took all of my stress away as a Bride and helped me enjoy the entire process. Ani is the kind of planner that will help you stay on top of every detail but will also make it seem like the details are not difficult to complete. It was the best experience I have ever had through planning and I wish I could do it all over again just so I could plan with Ani. SHE IS AMAZING!
Ani and her team made our Wedding Day, before, during & after, an absolute amazing experience.
More importantly, the amount of time Ani gave us, via weekly zoom calls, was equally ...
amazing.
Ani went above and beyond the scope of being our wedding planner, and made to entire experience better than we ever expected.
We are truly grateful - John & Edelyn
Ani was an absolute joy to work with, and we are beyond grateful for her as our wedding planner. Her positive attitude and spirit made the entire planning process enjoyable. She co...
mmunicated with us clearly and promptly, always making us feel heard and understood.
From a professional perspective, Ani's organization and attention to detail were unmatched. She took the initiative to navigate and coordinate over 10 vendors on our wedding day. Ani successfully flipped our ballroom in just one hour, a feat that was not easy. Our flip involved 275 table settings, intricate centerpieces, numerous candles, rearranging furniture, and so much more. Our party would not have been possible without her!
Ani made magic happen and brought our vision to life. She also took the lead on all communication during the week leading up to our wedding and on the day-of with our bridal party, ensuring we were as stress-free as possible. This was a huge help and made our day relaxed and enjoyable.
Words cannot express how much we appreciate Ani and her dedication to our wedding day! We highly recommend Ani to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day extraordinary.
Planning a wedding can be stressful, but with Ani Wolff as our month-of coordinator, our experience was anything but! We opted for her month-of coordination package, and let me tel...
l you, she went above and beyond in every way imaginable for our June 2023 wedding. She had prior experience at our venue, Jasna Polana in Princeton NJ, and the staff knew her and raved about her, and it was 100% deserved.
From the very first meeting, Ani impressed us with her professionalism, organization, and genuine enthusiasm. She took the time to understand our vision for the wedding day and worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was planned to perfection. Throughout the month leading up to the wedding, she was always responsive, proactive, and incredibly helpful in managing vendors, finalizing details, and addressing any concerns we had.
But where Ani truly shined was on the wedding day itself. The weather forecast threatened some rain, which could have thrown everything into chaos. However, Ani remained calm, collected, and completely in control. She seamlessly navigated any last-minute adjustments due to the weather, ensuring everything ran smoothly and according to schedule. We never had to worry about a single thing, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day.
Here's what made Ani exceptional:
Exceptional organizational skills and meticulous planning
Calm and collected demeanor, perfect for handling unexpected situations
Excellent communication and responsiveness throughout the process
True dedication to ensuring our vision was flawlessly executed
Thanks to Ani's incredible work ethic and professionalism, our wedding day was absolutely flawless. We are so grateful to have had her by our side, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a wedding planner who will go the extra mile to make their special day unforgettable.
Five stars all around!
We started working with Ani a few months before our wedding and we wish we had her all along! Our wedding went off without a hitch, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously and have Ani t...
o thank.
Ani aced the essentials of wedding planning: coordinating with vendors to free up our time, staying organized, having plans and backup plans, communicating well (not burdening us with details, but keeping us in the loop and involving us on key issues), and being proactive.
But what made her stand out, and are truly excellent planner, was her personal touch: getting to know us, understanding what we liked and how we liked it, and truly caring about making our wedding day wonderful. Ani has great empathy and could tell when we needed something, even if we couldn't articulate it, both in the planning phase and on the day of the wedding. We felt we were in such good hands.
Also bonus points for pulling a rabbit out of a hat at the last minute on our wedding day when our DJ (a close friend) wanted to extend the rental on his equipment so we could bring it to the afterparty. I didn't even know Ani was aware of this idea, but at one point during the reception she mentioned that it was all sorted, and we had an afterparty for the ages.
We couldn't recommend Ani more strongly! :)
Working with Ani Wolff and her team in preparation for our wedding was the single best decision we could have made. Ani’s a great wedding planner that brings empathy, clear communi...
cation, close attention to detail, transparency, and flexibility to the process. She’s the person you’ll want to work with to make your planning, and wedding day itself, run seamlessly. We would recommend Ani as an essential part of your wedding and wedding planning process.
We met with Ani shortly after getting engaged where she shared her process, expertise, and transparent estimates for her services. She also helped us to understand what our overall budget could be for the wedding that we wanted to have. We felt like we could trust Ani right out of the gate.
After deciding to work with her, we met on a monthly cadence to discuss options for things like venue, vendors, details, and timelines. She kept track of all of our details on a project management platform to which we had access. This kept us on track with what we had to work on, well ahead of schedule with most decisions, and relatively stress-free throughout the process.
When it came to venues, vendors, and purchases, Ani did a great job of taking our expectations, budget, and general intended vibe for our wedding to source the right people/things. She has a great pulse on the best folks to work with and matched us up to 3-5 options to choose from. They were all amazing which made decision-making tough — a great problem to have!
Ani is also flexible and consultative in how she works with you. We thought we had a clear idea of the kind of venue we wanted, but the first one we decided to look at (and ultimately the one we went with) was a departure from that. Ani was sure to check in with us to communicate that, but she swung with us when we we expressed interest in things we hadn’t fully entertained before. I would recommend having some idea of what you’d like, but just know that Ani is easily able to help you fill in the gaps.
Overall, the planning process was seamless and Ani kept us on schedule so that we really weren’t stressed out about any of the logistical and aesthetic details of the wedding, giving us plenty of space to manage the personal parts of planning.
As for the weekend of the wedding, Ani, Gab, and Gab ran the show like the pros that they are.
Ani was there to orchestrate our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party and everything went off without a hitch. This gave us the ability to be fully present with our guests.
The day of the wedding was no different. Ani and her team were the first people we saw when we started preparing for the day at the crack of 8am. Ani had a very solid timeline that was shared with all of our vendors and the venue and we stuck to it.
They did an amazing job of getting all of our VIPs into position for the events of the day like hair/makeup, photos, and lunch. Ani was even sure to align with our VIPs on fielding questions and concerns about various things throughout the day. Basically, Ani and her team were there to manage any and all issues that popped up (hardly any did), so we could be free to be excited about getting married! She took the very few high-stress moments and brought us back down to earth.
Like I said, working with Ani was the best decision we made for our wedding. We were lucky to have met her and planned our wedding with her, and our only regret is that we don’t get to plan another wedding with again soon.
Ani and her team were amazing on our wedding day! Everything went so smoothly and Ani was prepared for anything; for example, she had a kit full of safety pins and bobby pins that ...
saved me when one of my bustle buttons broke on my dress, and helped keep my veil in place for the church ceremony. Not only did my wedding vision come to life on the day-of, but Ani was so on top of everything during the planning process. She responded within minutes to emails and texts, and was excellent in coordinating all of the logistics with our vendors. Loved her, and would definitely recommend Ani Wolff Weddings to other brides-to-be!
Of all the things that my family and I spent money on for my wedding, the best money spent was Ani Wolff's wedding coordination. Ani stepped in and made sure that everything ran sm...
oothly and that my day was executed exactly as I had hoped it would be. While my mom and I had spent a year planning my wedding down to the detail, we had overlooked the fact that we'd need a point person to manage things on the day of so we could actually enjoy my wedding day. Enter Ani. Ani was not only brought up to speed quickly, but when I say she made sure everything ran smoothly, she was flawless. Not only making sure all the details were perfect but also navigating last-minute problems, like my hair stylist not showing up. I will recommend Ani Wolff Weddings to any bride!
We had the pleasure of working with Ani Wolff for our wedding on November 12, 2023. Ani's meticulous planning and attention to detail ensured our special day was flawless. Her seam...
less coordination with various vendors showcased her professionalism, making the entire process stress-free. Ani's commitment to perfection shone through as she conducted a thorough rehearsal at our hotel for the bridal party the night before the wedding. Her hands-on approach and personable nature not only eased our nerves but also showcased her genuine care for our special day. Ani's ability to balance professionalism with a warm personal touch is truly commendable, making her an outstanding wedding planner who crafts unforgettable moments with finesse. We are immensely grateful for her expertise, and we highly recommend Ani Wolff as a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to make dreams come true.

ur August wedding and were traveling the month before our wedding day. Ani was super flexible and worked with us ahead of time on vendor meetings, scheduling, and day of itinerary, so we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about a thing. On the day of, her and her team executed every detail of our itinerary perfectly. Our schedule was tight because we had a traditional ceremony at a church before the reception and we ended up ahead of schedule and finishing all of our photos in time to enjoy or cocktail hour (which was something that was really important to us). Her and her assistant were there to help to orchestrate our ceremony music, track down multiple bridesmaids' lost cellphones, and fix my problematic bustle throughout the night. If anything else went wrong, we don't even know about it because Ani and her team took care of everything while we enjoyed our special day together and with our family/friends. We will be recommending her for all of our friends weddings. Hiring her was the best decision we made for our wedding day!

months before the wedding date. Ani was extraordinary to say the least! She is really organized, detail-oriented, professional and responsive throughout the entire process. She kept track of our wedding details and communicated with all our vendors. She helped create our wedding day schedule and managed the logistics for us. Ani supported us through our rehearsal and final venue walkthrough. The day of our wedding, Ani and team made sure our day ran smoothly and effortlessly. This allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding day. She frequently checked in to make sure my husband and I were comfortable and stepped in to help when needed. Our wedding party and family raved about how awesome Ani and her team was. She is truly the best and we couldn't have done this without her. We highly recommend her to anyone!

d more! Ani was a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding . She is so kind and has such a calming demeanor, and kept us organized and on track with all the wedding details and logistics. On the day of the wedding, we worked with Helen from Ani's team and she was an absolute angel. She was calm, a very soothing presence to be around, and helped with everything big and small. She seemed to anticipate my every need, from steaming my dress in the morning, to arranging lunch as we got our hair make up done, to bustling my dress before the first dance, handing me and my husband waters out on the dance floor, and helping me change into a second look - she was everywhere I needed her! I seriously don't know what I would have done if we hadn't booked with Ani and her team! I'll forever be grateful to Ani and Helen for making the wedding of my dreams a reality, and keeping me calm through the whole process.
We had an absolutely beautiful and hugely successful wedding, and we could not have done it without Ani.
My wife and I are both extremely busy professionals with little time and ...
energy to spare in terms of planning and setting up a wedding, and we looked for someone with all the experience, energy, and resources to basically help us with the entirety of the wedding planning. We interviewed multiple planners - while other planners took their time and tentatively/slowly gathered information and threw out tentative ideas, Ani even in our first interview meeting took control, gathered our preferences and laid out a plan and timeline regarding our wedding - we immediately knew that she was head and shoulders above all the other wedding planners and it had to be her.
From then on, it was efficient, smooth, and productive. Ani would have regular meetings with us, keeping us on schedule with all the tasks and prioritizing each in sequence for us. She drew on her wealth of experience and connections planning weddings in this area, giving us multiple great options that we had to simply pick from (saving us the time of doing our own research). She accompanied us to every venue visit and helped us with negotiations and planning down to every single detail, making sure every small detail was in place, even multiple things we never even considered or thought of. As the wedding drew closer, neither my wife nor I felt any anxiety, because we felt completely comfortable that Ani had planned and thought of every detail possible.
The wedding ultimately ended up being absolutely everything we could have dreamed of - beautiful, smooth, and at the same time reflecting each of our personal characters that we had conveyed to her early on. Ani was there personally shepherding everyone and making sure everything went off without a hitch. Multiple wedding guests even specifically came up to us unprompted and told us how professional and organized Ani was throughout the entire evening, even after the main wedding/ceremony was over.
We could not have asked for a better dream wedding, it was perfect down to the last detail. We could not have done it without Ani. If you're looking to start planning the perfect wedding in the New York/Jersey area and are looking for an all-inclusive wedding planner, there IS NO BETTER OPTION than Ani!
Ani helped my daughter with wedding planning the final month and stage managed the whole event. She was amazing! So easy to work with....and made it all look so easy the day of. ...
She took full responsibility for stage managing the wedding with many different vendors, so we could actually enjoy the day. What a difference she made! She really knows what's she's doing and is a real pro. Can't recommend her highly enough.

ens that seriously makes wedding planning a fun process instead of stressful. She had great recommendations for vendor selections that were perfect day of. She made everything run incredibly smoothly during the actual day despite a crazy rainstorm, and made sure that my husband and I had the perfect day without worrying about a single detail. If you are like me and get easily stressed out or your number one goal is for you and your partner to have the perfect day (which it should be), Ani is absolutely the right wedding planner for you.

-do lists expand with every conversation - whether it be with parents, vendors, or your spouse! It's a good thing we had Ani Wolff on our team.
Ani Wolff's pinpoint management of our wedding day in New York elevated the occasion for us as bride and groom; and for our vendors, who have had nothing but positive feedback after working with Ani.
Upon reflection of her work and her format, Ani crushed our expectations. She did an outstanding job in getting to know us and our preferences, put us on a schedule to plan the wedding, and kept those plans on track. One night we spent two hours going through a checklist, after which we never had to discuss those items again - she just took care of everything.
There are a few other attributes of Ani's partnership that we sincerely value. She kicked ass during the rehearsal of our wedding. We had big grins on our face as she efficiently led the process, putting our family and friends into place and clearly articulated what's going to happen next. On the wedding day, she had everything a bride could ask for and then some in her fanny pack. She effortlessly whisked everyone - and everything - into position during the wedding, which included a first of its kind room flip in our venue.
Thank you, Ani, for your kindness, positivity and 'can-do' attitude. We appreciate you!
Ani was essential to making our wedding a dream come true. As we neared the date, my husband and I realized how overwhelmed we were with juggling the various vendors and details. A...
fter beginning to work with Ani it was like a huge weight was lifted and we could enjoy the lead up to the event as well as every minute of the big day. She took over all communications, seamlessly wrangled everyone in our large wedding party, effortlessly moved crowds in central park so our photographer could get the perfect shots, and got us out of the door at the end of the night so we could continue the party while she tied up all the loose ends on site. She is nothing short of excellent to work with and we've already recommended her to friends getting married soon! If you want to truly enjoy your wedding, hire Ani and allow yourself that precious time to focus on yourselves and the occasion.

rly helpful in dealing with all the of the rentals required and coordinating between the rental company and the venue.

rom day 1, she kept me calm, cool and collected despite the madness. She was always there to advise- whether it be flowers, hair, makeup, hotels, timelines, family ect. She made it so easy for me and handled every detail, and I am beyond grateful. She literally iced my sprained ankle (day of) hours before I walked down the aisle. I was honestly a disorganized bride lol but Ani made it all come together. She is truly the BEST OF THE BEST and I would highly recommend her. Happy to answer any questions about her, but honestly, she is one of my favorite memories from our wedding and I know I made a lifetime friend in the process. Everyone, book Ani, NOW!

Do yourself a favor and book her asap!!
On May 13, 2022 we had the wedding of our dreams.
If we rewind 9 months earlier, we were recently engaged and just booked our date with the wedding venue. A wedding was imminen...
t but we had no idea what to do. That is when we were fortunate to connect with Ani. From our initial call she immediately started building our timelines, so that we can understand how everything would come together and when we would need to make decisions. She also provided a budgeting tool so that we can understand our costs as we started the process of vetting vendors.
In the months leading up to the wedding we would have periodic zoom meetings where we worked thru our checklists. Ani walked us thru every decision. She always listened to us and provided us with multiple options so that we can make the best decisions. She spoke to the vendors on our behalf and kept everything organized. We never felt overwhelmed in the process.
In the days leading up to our wedding everything started coming together. Our expectations were that things were going to get hectic. While we definitely had some exciting moments leading up to the wedding including the birth of a new niece, everything was going very smooth on the wedding side. Ani took care of everything.
On the day of the wedding Ani was there every step of the way from ordering lunch to making sure my makeup artist had everything she needed. She came to my hotel room while I was getting ready and didn’t leave my side until the wedding was over. Throughout the day, Ani handled everything and somehow still managed to always be by my side when I needed her. During our ceremony which was held outdoors there was a brief period of drizzle during our vows, and like any bride I started to panic. Before I knew it, I had a beautiful clear umbrella covering me and the stress melted away. It felt likes she was in our minds and anticipated our needs before we could verbalize them and that put us at such ease on our big day. It allowed us to just enjoy the day.
I tell my husband I wish I could relieve that day again because it was like a movie. I have no doubt in my mind without Ani that could not have been possible. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner take it from us you will not be disappointed she is the best!
Ani is super organized and energetic! She is there with you the entire day, from the start of the first girl's hair/makeup until the after party ends. She comes prepared to tackle ...
any last minute issue that may come up all while keeping the bride, MOB, and MOH calm and enjoying the day. She is wonderful to work with and will do anything to make your day amazing... case in point I got grass clippings all in my shoes/over my feet during pictures and she literally washed my feet... :)
Ani was a lifesaver! From our first conversation, we could tell she was efficient, detail-oriented, and incredibly invested in her clients. When we began working more closely toget...
her in the few weeks before the wedding, she was on top of all the details, handling conversations with vendors directly and pushing back where needed to ensure that our needs would be fully met. She also ran a rehearsal the day before the wedding, which was a much-appreciated bonus! She was ALL OVER every detail on our wedding day, everything from untying knots in a bridesmaid’s necklace to finding a huge amount of bandages for my shoe-torn feet, and running interference when needed to ensure that we could enjoy a stress-free day! She took the time to fully understand our vision for the day, the family and religious traditions involved, and any family needs, and made sure that there weren’t any surprises. And she kept everyone right on schedule! Her rates are astoundingly affordable, and you should hire her while you still can!
Ani is amazing! I hired Ani to be our Wedding Day Coordinator, and it was the best decision I made. I work in marketing and throw events all the time for my clients, but I didn't...
want to have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Ani came on about a month prior and whipped everything into shape. On the day of the wedding she was everywhere and on top of everything! She made the day completely stress-free for me. She is also so sweet and a pleasure to be around!
Ani was an absolute live saver! My husband and I were on the fence about hiring a coordinator since we thought that was something we could save money on and just do ourselves. Howe...
ver, as we got closer to the wedding date, it became very clear that we were in over our heads coordinating all the logistics (and there are SO many logistics that you don't ever think about). Thankfully, Ani was available to step in mere weeks before our wedding. She is calm, super organized and very responsive. I honestly have no idea how we could have pulled this off without her. She is worth every penny and would 10/10 recommend her.
I do not know what I would have done without Ani. When I was planning my wedding, I truly did not think I needed a day of coordinator, but everyone I spoke to told me it was worth...
it.
Let me tell you, after seeing everything Ani did. I promise you this was my number one vendor I needed. I would have had multiple panic attacks if I did not have Ani helping prior to the wedding and the day of. Ani showed up at 6:50 AM at the wedding day ready to jump in. She was by my side the entire day and made sure everything happened flawlessly.
There was never a moment Ani was not running around making sure everything was perfect. From ensuring breakfast was arriving, getting my vendors to the correct rooms, helping carry my train, helping me in and out of my gown, bringing us water, getting our wedding party and family in the correct places, making sure my husband and I took time to ourselves, checking in to see if we needed anything, and so much more.
All I can say is I could not have done it with out her and I am most grateful she was at my wedding.
My best advice to anyone planning a wedding is hire Ani! It was the best decision I made in the past 2 years.
Ani thank you so much for everything! I wish I had another event happening to hire you again, just so we can hangout!
Ani was a lifesaver for my March 2022 wedding. Ani truly is a wedding expert who has the talent, organization, and personality to ensure a successful day. Ani instantly made me fee...
l at ease from the moment my husband and I hired her. Her day of timeline helped the entire day stay on track! She served as the point of contact for all my vendors and ensured they were on time and knew every detail of the day. We started working with her for day of coordinating services about 3 months prior to the wedding, this allowed for us to become comfortable with her and for Ani to learn our style. We had numerous meetings through Zoom and she even accompanied us on a venue tour. She was always available for emails, texts, and calls. Her hands on approach really made me feel at ease. For the actual wedding day Ani worked from the start of the day through the very end. She was always attentive, caring, professional, and calming. Hiring Ani was the best decision I could have ever made for my wedding.
