About A Marie Events & Design LLC
A Marie Events & Design LLC
A. Marie Events & Design was founded in 2005 by Anita Craine with a clear belief: meaningful celebrations are built through intention, not excess. With a background in hospitality and project management, Anita brings a disciplined creative eye to every event—balancing thoughtful design with seamless execution. Her approach is rooted in understanding how spaces move, how moments unfold, and how experiences are felt long after they end. Rather than simply planning events, the studio approaches each project as a narrative—shaped by atmosphere, flow, and purpose.
We exist to remove complexity, not add to (personal information protected by Zola) creative direction, strategic planning, and calm oversight, we guide clients through the design process with clarity and confidence. Every decision is intentional, ensuring the final experience reflects not only your vision, but your values. What Guides Our Work - Intentional Creativity Design choices are never arbitrary. We seek originality through restraint, balance, and thoughtful curation. Precision & Structure -Excellence lives in the details. Every element is managed with care, foresight, and respect for the process. Aligned Partnership We value trust and transparency.
In three words: Collaborative, Confident, Innovative

Amazing planner and extremely professional
We were skeptical about hiring a planner but once we started planning it became very overwhelming Anita was referred to us and she was the best thing for us and our wedding. Highly professional, communicative, and creative. Highly recommend!
Incredible Experience
I recently had the pleasure of working with Anita Craine and her team at A. Marie Events & Design LLC for our wedding, and I must say, the experience was exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final execution, Anita demonstrated a keen eye for detail and a genuine commitment to bringing our vision to life. Anita's expertise in planning and design was evident in every aspect of our wedding. She guided us through the process with professionalism and creativity, ensuring that each element aligned with our theme and personal style. The cocktail hour reception was particularly memorable, with a beautifully curated selection of drinks and appetizers that delighted our guests. Communication with Anita and her team was seamless, and they were always responsive to our questions and ideas. Their ability to adapt and problem-solve on the day of the event was impressive, allowing us to enjoy our special day without any stress. Overall, we are incredibly grateful to Anita Craine and A. Marie Events & Design LLC for their dedication and hard work. They made our wedding day truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a talented and reliable wedding planner.
Bride
Anita and her team at A Marie Events & Design were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our first meeting, we were impressed by Anita's enthusiasm, creativity, and attention to detail. Communication was consistently great - Anita responded to emails and texts very quickly, keeping us totally looped in on all planning details. On the big day itself, Anita went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed smoothly and looked beautiful. She surprised us with some gorgeous additional floral arrangements and decor touches that perfectly suited our vision. Her expertise in not only coordination but also design, florals, and even officiating (!) enabled her to provide us with a truly custom, seamless one-stop wedding planning experience. I cannot recommend A Marie highly enough for any couple wanting a talented pro who will make your wedding vision come to life!
