I hired Anna after having her recommended to me after booking my venue. She was AMAZING. I cannot say enough good things about her and I don't know how I would of done it without h...
er. She went above and beyond what I thought she was going to do. She found and recommended the majority of my excellent vendors. When ever I had a question she was always there to answer it thoroughly and quickly.
The wedding was the wedding of my dreams and mostly everything went as planned. I had so many people tell me it was the best wedding they had ever been to and it was in large part due to Anna. Above all Anna is such a nice person. She was patient with me and just always willing to be as helpful as possible. Thats the kind of person you need helping you plan your wedding.
Anna came highly recommended by several venues we looked at, so by the time we finally set a date - Anna was our next stop. After being a bridesmaid in several weddings, I realized...
how essential a Day of Coordinator was to me. I wanted to spend my wedding weekend enjoying every minute - not stressing about set-up, tear down, vendor issues, etc. I also planned on doing a lot of the decor on my own, so I knew I was going to need someone with a creative touch to pull it all together while I was getting ready. And when our big day came, Anna did all of that and more.
I'll start by saying I am a more creative than organized person. I had always dreamed of a wedding on Longboat Key, but it was a bit of work to coordinate from Chicago. Anna met with us several month before to go over all of the other things we needed to think about. I'll admit I was overwhelmed by it all at first, but it was clear she knew her stuff! From how much to tip vendors, to the type of information to include on our wedding site for out of town guests, to what to have ready at the church for our rehearsal, she thought of everything. Then she broke it all down into easy, monthly "to-do"s for me to tackle via email. And there were also friendly reminders to keep me on track. Everyone at home kept commenting how calm and unnerved I was about our wedding coming up, but honestly Anna had put me in such a great place - I knew I had everything in its place!
When the week of the wedding came, Anna took charge. I wasn't contacted with a single issue the entire week - it was amazing. She was the calm, cool face for all of the vendors, decorator extraordinaire - and pleasantly greeted all guests with grace and charm. Everyone loved her!
So, bottom line, please call Anna today! It was the best decision I made - and mom agrees :o)
Anna was the best thing that ever happened to my wedding. From day one of meeting her we knew we could trust her with every detail of the wedding. She was helpful with every questi...
on I had during the planning process and the day of. She ran the rehearsal and helped my groom and me navigate through the wedding day according to schedule! I would recommend her to anyone who is planning their wedding, as she will help make your wedding dreams and visions come true!
Our destination wedding weekend consisted of a Hindu ceremony (Friday) and Catholic ceremony (Saturday) at two different venues and each had a reception to following. Additionally,...
all 200 of our guests were traveling down to Sarasota for us, so a planner was a MUST. We interviewed a couple of planners in the area but when we met Anna everything clicked. She was instrumental in creating the best two days (and two weddings) of our lives. Anna is so experienced and well connected with vendors in the area. She is professional, willing to go above and beyond, and constantly innovative. Each time we flew down from Boston she made sure that she was available to meet with us and kept us updated on all of the moving pieces via phone when we couldn't meet. She was there for us from beginning to end and aside from my husband and I, our families loved her! She was in contact with parents, siblings, priests, vendors, and everyone just loved her. Even in the most stressful situations (torrential downpour in the middle of or ceremony) - she was super cool, efficient, and most importantly sweet! I would recommend Anna to anyone having a wedding in Florida, she is invaluable, such a pleasure to work with, and we will most definitely stay in touch with her through the years.
Anna was amazing to work with. She gave advice where needed, saved us money and helped steer our small wedding from start to finish. I had an idea of what I wanted but Anna helped ...
to pull everything together and her little touches made it my dream wedding. I truly didn't have to worry about a thing and my wedding was not without problems (we were very very late starting) but Anna never let the stress show and dealt with everything for me. In fact there were things that Anna did that I didn't even realise until after the wedding when talking to guests and seeing photographs.
On top of all that she is a lovely person who truly seems to enjoy what she does.
Hire her now - you will not be disappointed.
Oh what to say about Anna! My love for her grew and grew over the course of our eight months of wedding planning! In the beginning my mom suggested getting a planner since I was go...
ing into my final semester of school, my fiance was living three states away, and I was not going to be in Florida over the summer to prepare for our September wedding. Stan and I wanted the wedding to feel vintage and handmade, but that's all we really knew. Our first meeting with Anna was wonderful! She asked us questions about what we liked and had lots of new ideas to throw in. After just one meeting our wedding had much more direction. Over the course of the following months Anna was right by my side as we met with florists, caterers, decorators, and a DJ. Being so far from my mom while planning was hard, but Anna really really helped me get through everything with such ease. Not only that but Anna knew exactly where to find what I wanted! The majority of "soon-to-be-married"s in Sarasota seemed older and/or very touristy, so finding the right vendors wasn't an easy just "google it" task. Because of Anna's experience she knew people that were capable of doing something new and matching what I wanted. Anna helped us find our ceremony location on the beach (which seemed nearly impossible! but she drove me around the little islands to at least four locations I never knew existed and we found the perfect one) and was willing to talk with me/take over anything when I was feeling too overwhelmed. Even just talking with Anna was inspirational! Hearing how she had scheduled her own wedding helped push me out of my traditional thinking. I was inspired to create a break between the ceremony and reception to allow our guests some time to freshen up and avoid the heat of the day. On the wedding day itself Anna was extremely calm and collected. She helped direct our wedding party (which included 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen) and get everyone exactly where they needed to be. During the reception she made sure I ate, drank, and was quick to find anyone I was looking for. Numerous guests commented on how Anna's friendly presence had made the whole day feel very relaxed and stress free. Throughout the whole process Anna was there for me and my mom. Without her my wedding day would not have been as amazing as it was. If you are looking for a dedicated planner whose easy to talk to and excited to help create your day look no further :)
Anna was SOOO wonderful! I hired her to help with Day of Coordination, but she really did so much more the month leading up to the wedding. I felt really comfortable the day of, an...
d we had a tricky timeline. She is someone I'm definitely glad I hired and I highly recommend her and her team!
Anna Pohl is hands down the best person to work with. She was absolutely incredible and truly brought made my dream wedding a reality. She is extremely knowledgeable of all the v...
endors, knows everything that is en vogue for weddings and just the nicest person. Very understanding and could not have planned the wedding without her. Wish I had more events to plan with her - cannot express enough what a dream she was. You must hire her, she will make everything come to life!
I wish I could give Anna more than 5 stars...
Anna Pohl is an absolutely fantastic wedding planner and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and getting to know her. I planned my...
wedding from out of town. Although we only used her day of services, we hired her a year in advance and she was absolutely invaluable. During my year of wedding planning I was able to call/email with questions and we met a couple of times so we could talk over the details. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she finalized the timeline and made sure vendors were confirmed. Anna knows all of the vendors in town and she's been in the business for quite a while so she can answer any questions and she has tons of ideas. She is also incredibly responsive through phone and email. Her constant reassurances that I was on schedule with my planning helped a lot, too. The big day could not have gone more smoothly and it was just beautiful thanks to Anna's help. We were all able to relax and enjoy while Anna made sure everything flowed flawlessly. I loved her, my new husband loved her, my mom loved her...you get the idea. I worked with several great vendors for my wedding, but Anna was the best. Anna, I can't thank you enough for everything!
Wow! Anna is the BEST! We hired her for our wedding maybe 9 months ahead of time and I couldn't imagine not having her there on the BIG day. She made sure that everything ran so sm...
oothly which was a huge help. All those little details she had down pat!! My only worry was for my self to be on time :) and to not trip in my dress. She also alleviated a lot of pressure and stress from my mom so all she had to do was just smile and not run around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Anna is an angel, unbelievably sweet, she answered my million emails and returned phone calls promptly and took care of any issues that occurred. After working with her for so long she honestly became part of the family! Just a doll and she made the wedding experience so fun and a lil less stressful. Love her!!
