Anamika Events

My husband and I struggle to find the words to express how amazing Ishita is. She was the most amazing wedding planner and friend we could have asked for throughout our whole wedding process. We started planning our 2023 wedding back in 2021. When searching for planners we met with a few different options. Some were only interested in huge weddings for their own content creation, while others told us they had strict vendor coordination and meeting limits. From the first conversation, we saw that Ishita was easy going, and truly cared to help us pull off our special day.She was there for us every step of the way. She was more than just a planner, she was someone who went out of her way to help us with logistics, see how we were doing, and helped us and our families get on the same page. She helped us make decisions and gave us advice, and constantly went beyond her technical role as someone that was just supposed to help us get contracts signed and give us an itinerary. Our families were also incredibly impressed and charmed by her. A mere 24 hours before the wedding we had to switch to the rainy day plan, and we could not have pulled it off without her. She helped us keep everything on schedule, and we got so many compliments from our guests about how well organized everything was. If you are reading this review, do not even think twice about booking her and her team. You don’t JUST need a wedding planner, you need Anamika Events!!

I found Anamika Events after postponing my wedding two times and trying to plan a destination wedding in India and Thailand during COVID. Needless to say, we were exhausted and needed someone amazing to work with in Toronto. I completed a thorough wedding planner search in Toronto and Ishita Desai was someone I instantly connected with and found it very easy to talk to her. Working with her was like planning my big day with a really good friend. She was available to talk to me at all hours of the day, alleviated my stress, dealt with all my concerns, ensured my vision came to life and above all was really positive throughout the wedding planning process. My husband and I can be very particular about things and by no means were easy clients to work with but Ishita Desai always stood by us and made sure our needs were addressed. Now that the wedding is over, I genuinely miss talking to her on a biweekly basis over our calls. She's a very sweet person and very passionate about what she does, making her one of the best in the industry!!We brought Ishita on after finalizing our venue and signed a full planning contract with her. Immediately after, we noticed she was very organized and helped us source our vendors. It was extremely helpful to work with someone who had experience in the Wedding industry in Toronto, who could explain all the pros and cons of each vendor and how things are done here.After 9 months of planning, it felt surreal when the big week had arrived. Ishita had planned every detail of our events and we had nothing to worry about. In fact, her team even ensured we were fed during our events and made sure we were well hydrated! We are still amazed at how seamlessly everything came together and how cohesive it all looked. Our immediate family members were in also in awe of Ishita and her team and really appreciated all her hardwork!To all engaged couples out there, do yourself a favour and hire Anamika events as your wedding planner or day of coordinator. You will not be disappointed at all!!!

We hired Anamika Events for month of coordination and honestly the BEST decision ever made. I reached out to Ishita with a dream I have had since I was five - a Bollywood Fairytail Wedding! And Ishita truly made it happen!!One of the most important criteria for us was Instant Connection, which we had with Ishita in the first 10 minutes of our consultation call. We were always excited for our meetings and calls... she was overall just a pleasure to work with.She is impeccably organized, a great listener, focused on creating a great planning experience, and several times went above and beyond expectations. The process was very collaborative, guided by her extensive expertise and vendor recommendations.Ishita was truly the calm to our storm, she was patient and kept me on top of everything. With so many opinions from friends, family, and vendors we often got overwhelmed, and Ishita was always there at the end of the day to make sure our wishes shone through on our wedding day.We can say with absolute certainty that none of it could have happened without Ishita and her amazing team. Thank you so much to the whole team for making our wedding week extra special!!XOXO~Deepanshi and Harsh

I hired Anamika Events for month-of coordination for my wedding which took place on April 15th. My wife and I were thrilled with the service we received. Ishita (lead coordinator) was exactly what we were looking for throughout the planning process. She was detail-oriented, organized, and knowledgeable, and was always extremely happy to help with last-minute vendor options. Ishita has clearly been in the business for a long time and has a vast network of great vendors she's worked with who will also provide great services. She has deep expertise in South Asian weddings (we are Gujarati) and so communicating what we needed was so seamless. Something we also loved was that Ishita and her team were the perfect amount of pushy, with us and with vendors. We hired her team to take charge and ensure the day runs perfectly and that means letting them take control and getting them the information they need in a timely manner. Ishita knows how to message (and message again) until she gets the information she needs while being polite, respectful, and warm. Would highly recommend Anamika Events for any type of event planning/wedding month-of coordination services. They were fantastic!

Having Ishita around was such a key element in the success of our wedding. Ishita brought so much positivity & a sense of total calmness when she came around & I truly felt like I had a friend coordinating the day versus a “vendor.” & I say that for a lot of reasons.Throughout the process, Ishita was available to help - far before she was even contracted to come on. Ishita gave me vendor recommendations (and not just for the event she was coordinating), walked me through basic wedding stuff, provided her personal opinion on matters outside of what someone would deem “professional” - all of which Ishita didn’t have to do. She could have chosen to not help until she had to, she could have chosen to not go over and beyond what I hired her for, she could have chosen to keep it strict and formal. But she didn’t. & that’s why she wasn't/isn’t simply a “vendor”.All of this speaks volumes about Ishita as a professional in the industry, but more importantly, as a person. I’m so proud to see the way she handles herself. I love having empowering women in my circle & now, I’m adding Ishita to it. I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding day/night unfolded. Thank you Ishita for making our special day so seamless! I may have hired you for a specific purpose, but you really have become a friend.

We had the pleasure of having Ishita as our month of coordinator for our wedding and reception. I would recommend Ishita and her team to all future brides and grooms! From day 1 she has been extremely responsive, organized, positive, and solution focused. Our wedding was a logistical nightmare and she handled the entire thing with so much grace. I got everything I wanted for my wedding and more and it was all due to Ishita and her staff for being so on top of everything! She was so helpful any time problems arose even 1 day before our wedding day and never made us feel less then. I’m going to miss working with Ishita!

After rescheduling our wedding reception 2 times, we decided it was time to enlist some support for round 3. We hired Ishita and her team to support with month of coordinating and it made my life much easier.I felt extremely anxious about the reception and she held my hand through the stressful experience. She was super sweet, organized and timely! She made sure to understand what I cared about the most and what my needs were so she could pay extra attention.Thank you to Ishita and her team - I don't know what we would have done without you!

We had an amazing experience working with ishita. Ishita and her team coordinated our wedding and reception and it went smoothly because of their constant engagement and support during the event. Her team and her went above and beyond to ensure me and Dhruv can enjoy our event stress free. Ishita is extremely knowledgeable and has an amazing personality. I’d recommend her services to everyone!Ishita worked with us from all the planning and execution of the event and took care of everything for us. Can’t thank her enough.

We hired Ishita to partially plan our wedding and reception. From the moment we spoke to her we knew she would be the right fit for us, and we were absolutely right! Ishita went above and beyond for us taking on additional tasks that normally she wouldn’t do; she was very responsive in communicating with us and always offered her advice and her contacts; she is very organized and timely and when we were falling behind she would stay on top of us to ensure we got our tasks completed. She was a ton of fun to work with and felt like a good friend helping us out rather than a vendor. She executed everything on the day of perfectly with her team and worked very hard to make our events a success. It’s important to trust your planner and we trusted Ishita; with her personality and experience it’s hard not to. If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to hire her. We love you Ishita, thank you!
