Anita Craine is a step out of the box wedding planner who although loves a good trend, believes her clients should create their own trends and let people follow them.  She strives to producing unique,  creative yet fabulous weddings and events that truly reflect who her client are. Whether her client wants to get married on a luxury jet with all of their family or friends......on the way to their amazing reception location on a private island or a great party with a superhero theme and a celebrity DJ.  She lives to make each and every one of her clients events a moment that is meaningful and memorable.
