Assorted Artistries Event Planning & Bespoke Rentals

Anika and her team were awesome in ensuring our daughter's wedding, held on the property of our lake house in Plattsburgh, NY was a dream come true. It was a complicated affair since the bride, groom and the majority of guests were from out of town. The bride and groom moved cross country, dealt with health issues and lost a dear member of their family during the last few months leading up to the wedding. Anika wasn't phased at all when needed decisions were delayed or adjustments to vision were needed. She was gracious through it all and assured us that the final outcome would be glorious - which it was. Anika and her team were totally present and focused on this wedding in the days before, the day of and days after. Their energy and joy in what they do was so evident and infectious. Thanks Associated Artistries for a wedding that exceeding our dreams on all levels!

Anika and her team allowed me to truly enjoy my wedding day. Wedding planning was not fun or easy for me, but I promised myself I would enjoy the day, and the major step in making that happen was hiring Anika. I hired Anika for day of coordinating services after we had found almost all our vendors but was looking for someone to physically put the day together, to keep us on task day of, and also just verify and confirm with all the vendors. The packets that Anika provided allowed for me to ask questions that I had not considered and also forced people to make decisions before the very last minute. It also made me really take a look at all the décor that I’ve been collecting for the past year and half and really give it all a purpose. For all the décor I didn’t have, I looked at the rentals that are included in the price of our package, and made all the selections I needed.Weekend of the wedding, Anika got us all setup with the rehearsal, which was no easy task with 3 small children and wandering parents. When we got to the rehearsal, the room was almost completely set up already and it was like I had completed all the decorating myself. What I had diligently laid out in the visual plan was followed perfectly, and all the extra pieces I included were wonderfully tied in. For the best of my knowledge, there was only one real hiccup day of, but nothing that couldn’t easily be fixed. I’m sure there were others, but Anika handled it without my knowledge. I was able to truly enjoy my day because I knew that things would be taken care of without my direct participation, which is exactly what I wanted. When you work so hard pulling everything together, make all the decisions and handle a lot of big feelings from those around you, you deserve to have a peaceful day and Anika and her team can make that happen!

Anika & her I Do Crew" are incredible! I had the chance to work with her for a very intimate backyard wedding and they were exceptional to work with. I would not hesitate to recommened her to any couple looking for assistant in creating their dream wedding."

Anika from Assorted Artistries was integrally important to the success of our wedding weekend – we literally could not have had such a stress-free, seamless, and absolutely perfect day if she wasn’t in the picture. From the very first time we chatted on the phone to go over my vision and aesthetic, I felt like I was in great hands – she eased all of my concerns, and made me feel so much better about all of the nitty gritty details and tasks remaining to accomplish. She provided extremely helpful organizational documents and checklists that helped keep myself accountable through the year and shared a centralized place for us to collaborate as we got closer to my wedding. Her planning expertise came into play when she compiled an incredibly thorough master timeline for us for the rehearsal, set-up, wedding day, and break-down the day-after, shared it with our vendors, and made sure everyone knew where they needed to be (which was SO appreciated by all parties!).Her light-hearted, bubbly demeanor helped me stay positive and focused during an extremely stressful week prior to the big day. (threats of rain, a DJ mix-up, etc, etc.) Most importantly – me, my husband, and our families were able to fully let go, relax, and enjoy the wedding weekend. Anika fully conducted the rehearsal, problem-solved quickly and efficiently during the wedding set-up the night prior, and was in full ‘air-traffic-control’ mode for every milestone of our wedding day. And - unlike what so many people had told us to expect – our wedding did not go by in a flash – we were able to pause and savor every moment because we were so relaxed and happy! I can’t thank Anika enough for everything she was able to do for us –-she took our vision and flawlessly brought it to life.

Anika and her amazing team were worth their weight in gold!!! The first decision we made when we chose a wedding date was to hire Anika and she was so thoughtful, flexible & creative throughout the entire process! We were complimented by almost every guest who attended our wedding on the decor, smoothness of the day, and attention to detail. They were absolutely right…there was nothing left to chance. We feel so fortunate to have had Anika and Anna running the show for the weekend…they made sure our big day went off without a hitch & we’re so grateful to have them on our team! Highly recommend assorted artistries for any event you need to plan!

It’s hard to even write a review for someone who’s so incredible! Hiring Anika and her team was truly the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Anika handled all coordination with vendors the month of the wedding, ran the rehearsal, and made sure everything on our wedding day was absolutely perfect! She is truly a magician who had everything under control and seemed to somehow even be in 3 places at once.Her and her team also did an amazing job staging. Everything was even more beautiful than I imagined. The rentals we used from them were also beautiful and really elevated the entire event. I was able to enjoy every minute of my wedding day and didn’t have a care in the world thanks to her.Do yourself a favor and hire Anika you won’t regret it!

There are not enough words to describe how unbelievable Anika and her entire team were throughout our wedding process. We live in Philadelphia and got married in Lake Placid, NY. Living miles and hours away from our wedding location can sometimes provide stress, but Anika and her team were relentless in their pursuit of making the planning process as smooth as possible. She is unbelievably communicative and positive in everything she does. She is organized, beyond knowledgeable and so flexible to make sure everyone is on the same page. From emails to phone calls, she goes above and beyond to get the job done and made us feel so confident going in to wedding weekend that it would be exactly what we dreamt of.Now fast forward to the actual wedding weekend. Anika and her team were present from the rehearsal on. Making our families and friends realize from the very first moment this was going to be the best weekend of our lives. It fell nothing short of that. Not only is she an unbelievable professional, she is an even better human being. We are SO SO SO fortunate to have crossed paths with her and her team. They truly provided us with the wedding of our dreams.

Anika is incredible! She is so positive, and she might be the most organized person I have ever met. If we could do it all over again, we would 100% hire her again. At the beginning of my wedding planning process I didn't think I needed a coordinator/planner, but looking back I really don't know how I would have done it without her. Our wedding truly was a dream come true, A+ experience, and I firmly believe that without Anika and her team it would have been B/B+. You only get married once, and I figured if I was going to spend so much time and effort planning this event I wanted it to be perfect, not nearly perfect, and Anika and her team were the difference between nearly perfect and perfect.She thought of everything and had a great answer to all of my questions, and she put out all the little fires on wedding day. She shared a google sheet with me that had a detailed breakdown of all the things I needed to do before the wedding that was far more comprehensive than anything you can find online. She was so helpful and attentive throughout our wedding planning process, and most importantly she cheered me on and radiated positivity when the planning stress was getting the better of me.Her rentals are the best! They are so reasonably priced, and I don't have any left over decorations that I have to resell or throw away which is such a weight off my shoulders (also more eco friendly!). They were all so beautiful and really made my vision/theme come to life.All our vendors loved working with her, and they all told me how helpful she was to them. She had never worked at our venue before, but our contact at the venue was extremely impressed with her. She made such an impact on my family and wedding party that my sister even gave her a shout out during her maid of honor speech! TLDR: hire Anika, she will make your life easier and your wedding a dream!!
