    Bride

    We had Ann as our day of coordinator and she did an amazing job helping our big day go off without a hitch. We had a thorough planning session, developing our timeline for the wedding, she brought up some great things that we hadn’t even considered. She was then able to take that and coordinate with all of our vendors to make sure everyone had ample time to setup and in the case of our photographer to capture all the shots we were hoping for. Ann was on site all day, keeping everyone on track and taking care of all those little things that come up that we can’t even plan for. She did such a great job and did so much to help our wedding day go smoothly so that we could enjoy ourselves. We cannot recommend her enough.

    Towse wedding

    Ann truly made our wedding planning enjoyable. All of the tasks that I was dreading, she gave me motivation and helped me along by answering my millions of daily questions! The day of our wedding honestly would not have been as smooth as it was without her. She tackled any and all obstacles without ever showing any stress. My husband and I have both agreed neither of us would have enjoyed the day as much as we did, without her!!

    The best of the best

    I’ve had the privilege of working with Ann on numerous events, and every single one has been absolutely outstanding. She has an incredible attention to detail and puts so much thought and effort into every aspect of each event she manages. From start to finish, everything is meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. Ann’s dedication and passion for what she does are evident in every event, and I can honestly say that you will not be disappointed. If you're looking for someone who will ensure your event is nothing short of perfect, Ann is the one you want!


An experienced wedding coordinator ensures your wedding day runs smoothly. From curating a master timeline and managing vendors to troubleshooting unexpected issues behind the scenes. Instead of juggling logistics, you get to be fully present and enjoy your day to the fullest! Think of it this way: you wouldn’t buy a house without a realtor guiding you through the process—so why plan one of life’s biggest milestones without a professional by your side? A experienced coordinator knows what questions to ask, understands the industry inside and out, and can connect you with the best vendors for your vision and budget.
With over a decade of experience and more than 1,200 events executed, we bring a rare balance of seamless logistics, thoughtful design, and elevated hospitality. We care about your wedding day as much as you do and manage the details so you can be fully present and enjoy every moment.
No! When you book Ann Neely Events, you get me as your lead coordinator on your wedding day. I believe in being fully present with my clients, from concept to completion, so I only take one wedding per weekend. Some planning companies have you meet with the owner up front and then assign a different coordinator that you may not have the opportunity to meet until your wedding day. I don’t believe in that model. If you’ve trusted me throughout the planning process, you deserve to have me by your side on wedding day to ensure every detail is executed exactly as we envisioned together.
Yes! I also plan showers, rehearsal dinners, and other celebrations. I would love to assist with additional events that are part of your wedding!
Pricing is tailored to the level of service, scope, customization, guest count and location of your wedding. My rates reflect more than a decade of professional experience, a strong educational foundation (a bachelor’s in Event Planning and a master’s in Hospitality Management), and the successful execution of 1,200+ events. When you choose Ann Neely Events, you’re investing in more than event-day logistics—you’re gaining the expertise, care, and proven track record that ensure your celebration is seamless, sophisticated, and stress-free.
Every event includes myself as your lead planner and an assistant. I only take one event per available date, so you’ll always have my full attention. Depending on your event size, scope, and layout, additional assistants may be recommended for an agreed-upon fee.
Yes! I communicate with your vendor team to confirm logistics, share timelines, and keep everyone aligned. My goal is to ensure your vendors can focus on delivering their best work while I oversee the big picture.
I oversee and manage all vendor setup to ensure everything looks exactly as envisioned and is in place on time. My team and I also handle end-of-event breakdown of your personal items and décor. However, I do not handle the physical setup or teardown of rental items such as tables, chairs, or large equipment. Venue-required cleanup (like bussing tables, trash removal, or resetting furniture) is the responsibility of the catering team or venue staff.
Yes! ANE carries a $1 million Limited Liability Insurance Policy.
My team and I manage setup, vendor arrivals, event flow, and any unexpected hiccups that may arise. We serve as the primary point of contact for both you and your vendor team, ensuring clear communication and seamless coordination. My goal is always to protect your peace of mind so you never have to worry about what’s happening behind the scenes and can enjoy your wedding day to the fullest!
Absolutely! While I am based in Northwest Ohio, I love traveling to create unforgettable weddings wherever your celebration takes you. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.
The time we spend together depends on your package—full-service means regular check-ins throughout planning, partial planning includes several key meetings, and day-of coordination involves just a few meetings. All packages included full-coverage on your wedding day.
I recommend reaching out 9–12 months before weddings and large-scale events, and at least 3–6 months for smaller gatherings. My calendar fills quickly, so the sooner we connect, the better chance your date will be available. However, I can try to accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability. Please reach out and we will see what we can curate together!
A signed contract and non-refundable retainer are required to officially secure your event date on my calendar. The remaining balance is due seven days prior to your event date.
I’d love to connect! There are a couple of different options based upon your preference and we can schedule a consultation to chat through the details of your wedding!
