" Anne, I just wanted to drop a line and tell you thank you so much for helping us begin our wedding planning process on the Aran Islands.  The priest was an absolute joy, our photographer was wonderful and the hairdresser was a treat to have help me prepare on my wedding day!  Many Thanks!

"Anne,  Wow!  We did it!  Patrick, our families, friends, and I want to thank you so much for your help and wonderful recommendations.  The day was beyond our expectations and more than one of our guests have commented on it being the most beautiful, and sincere wedding they have been to.  As our friend Dave said, "I didn't cry this much at the last funeral I went too!".  The Celtic Monk couldn't have been anymore perfect for us.  The Castle tower was amazing, The Traditional Irish Ceili barn was fabulous and the music made it all blend perfectly together.  I couldn't have imagined they day without your coordinator - Chrisitine, she was spot on as well.  The Pub crawl was a hit and a perfect way to get everyone together for the first time in a relaxed atmosphere.  We are one big family now and have you and the beautiful people in Ireland to thank for making it such a wonderful way to start our new lives together.  Cheers!

"Anne, The wedding you and your team put together for Jeff and I was the most amazing event I have ever been to.  You and your team had everything prepared for us in advance.  Your check lists and timelines were a lifesaver.  I did not have to worry about a thing!  I so appreciate your team reserving everything in Ireland for us and, everything was confirmed and ready upon arrival in Ireland.  Our families and friends had the most wonderful, fun time together.  I have never seen a group of strangers bond so quickly with many exchanging emails and becoming new friends.  Your contacts in Ireland are amazingly efficient and so nice.  I felt welcomed and taken care of the whole time.  One of the hotel managers even gave some guests a ride to Galway after they had missed their bus!   The Celtic Monk is a wonderful officiant.  He honestly worked with us to create a ceremony that was both very personal yet had all the elements of a traditional wedding ceremony.  Thanks again to you and you team for one of the most memorable and fun events of our life!

"Anne,  There is no way for us to put our gratitude into words for the experience of a lifetime.  We look at pictures and are still breathless – it feels like a fairytale.  Everything was perfect, down to even the most minor detail.  The location that you helped us select for our wedding could not have been better.  We have fallen in love with the west of Ireland and cannot wait to return.  The rehearsal dinner you planned, with the traditional band, Irish dancers, and story teller, was as amazing as the wedding day.  We were able to spend four magical days with our friends and families with nothing to worry about but having fun.  You provided us with enough ideas that we were able to keep everyone together and active and all the while still have the ability to relax prior to our wedding.  We wouldn’t change one thing about the experience, and neither would our guests.  They have already begun to ask us to plan an anniversary trip and do everything all over again.  We love you Anne, your wonderful planners, and attentive vendors.   We would say thank you for making a dream come true, but the truth be told, we could never have dreamt something so wonderful. How in the world you have managed to put together such a first class operation amazes me.  Its hard for me to believe that there are people out there who are so talented and the fact that you have managed to bring them all together is even more spectacular.  You have built a very genuine and solid business and we were so blessed to have found you."

"Truly, when I look back on our wedding, I shiver with excitement and feel truly blessed that we chose Anne Lanier Weddings to assist us in wedding planning.  Anne Lanier's staff and the remarkable vendors in Ireland were beyond my wildest dreams- and my expectations were high!  The amount of care and attention to every desire was meticulously cared for and truly extraordinary.  What still remains shocking is that our wedding, which guests still remark today was something out of a fairy tale, was affordable despite the exchange rate and could not have been matched in the United States for anything less than a fortune.  Anne Lanier Weddings, excellent vendors and the seamless service at our fabulous boutique hotel allowed us to focus on our true blessings, our family and friends, and to create memories that will never be forgotten!"

"There are not many words to thank you for being the incredible person that you are and having the incredible staff that you have and for making this the most wonderful and unbelievably awesome experience that the wedding weekend was.  There is not a thing I would change about any of it.........The reception was such fun.......and the proprietor was the best.  Are there any ugly or mean people in Ireland..........we sure didn't meet any.............the best thing I did was find you on the internet, call you, visit you and make the decision to use you..........I have never carried off something so wonderful, with such little effort on my part..............It was worth every Euro I spent.  My family at home, after seeing the 1100 pictures we brought back (not to mention our photographers gallery) has now asked where my youngest daughter, Angelle, will bring everyone for her wedding!"

"Anne,  Thank you so very much for everything you did to make our wedding absolutely perfect!  Every detail - The Castle, The Hotel, the Celtic Monk,  our photographer, the  Limo, the Florist and the entire village in Ireland - was wonderful and everything was flawless!   Even the pubs in town contributed to our perfect weekend. We're on a high that we expect to be on for quite a while and all of our guests can't stop talking about it!
 I have 15 years of promotions/events/marketing experience and have put together some elaborate events during my time in radio.  Thank you for everything!

"From the very bottom of our hearts we cannot thank you enough for making our dream wedding possible. What an absolute amazing experience from start to finish, every day!  I cannot stop smiling and thinking about our wedding and our entire trip.  Everything was absolutely wonderful, more perfect than I could have ever imagined!  The weather was unbelievable, sunny and beautiful every day - Sean could not believe it!  You could not convince me that there is a more beautiful country.  Marian (on-site coordinator) was fabulous, an absolute delight and a tremendous help!"

"Heather and I could not possibly put into words how absolutely amazing our wedding in Ireland was. There is no possible way we could have ever dreamed that the entire event would go over without a hitch even here in the states, let alone across the North Atlantic. Every single guest who attended not only raves about our big day but mentions the journey to the emerald isle as a life altering event. We both relive the memories from our big day constantly and that was all made possible by Anne Lanier and her staff’s constant attention to detail. Without Anne and the absolutely wonderful staff at our wedding location, I was able to provide my wife with the fairy tale wedding she had only dreamed about as a child. Heather and I cannot thank you enough and we would be happy to recommend any couple to use your services to help plan their big day.”

"If I had a wedding in the states, I don't think it would have gone nearly as smooth as the one we had across the Atlantic because of you, you are an amazing planner, I don't know how you do it.  Chris and I really want to thank you so much for everything you did for us.  If any Boston couples are looking to hire you, let us know, I would absolutely refer Anne Lanier Weddings!!!"

"When we had the idea to get married in beautiful Ireland we felt very
overwhelmed with all the little details and unknowns.  We are so glad we had
Anne's help and guidance.  She made planning simple.  Her experience led us
to the best people and places to make our wedding day one that we will
always remember.  I could not have imagined a better wedding day for us. 
All the details made it very special for us, like my mother said, it was
like we had our own "heart-print" on the day.  I am so glad we married in
Ireland with our closest loved ones and surrounded in such beauty.  It was a
wonderful way to begin our lives together."

"Our friends and family had a great time in Ireland.  Everyone is still talking about how much
fun they had and how beautiful the wedding was. The whole experience was very memorable, and we
would gladly recommend all the people that helped us out on our wedding day.
And finally, thank you very much Anne for you help and assistance with the
planning for our wedding.  We could not have pulled this off without you Anne!
Thank you very much!"

"Our wedding day was the most perfect day of our lives.  I attribute it to your incredible skill - the fact that I had absolutely no worries enabled both of us to genuinely connect with all of our guests and relax completely.  The whole day was absolute magic.  We get a little choked up thinking of it.  Everyone said it was truly special and unlike any wedding they had ever been to.  Thank you for making it all possible."

"Our Wedding in Ireland was the most memorable event.  The location was absolutely amazing, it was like a fairytale.  We had some guests who were not comfortable traveling and had never been overseas.  This trip has changed their opinion about traveling and they fell in love with Ireland as all of our guests did.  Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended, and I quote "A Wedding Event of a Lifetime".   Anne, I can't thank you enough for helping us create this beautiful experience not only for our guests but for ourselves.  It was a wonderful way to begin our new life together.  Slainte,"

"Our wedding in Ireland went far beyond any expectation that we ever could have had.  It was a dream made real for everyone who shared it with us.  My father, who was a bit skeptical in the beginning, has described it himself as "amazing" and as a "fairytale".  The traditional Ceili (in lieu of a rehearsal dinner ) was unlike anything we've ever experienced and could never be duplicated.  The energy was contagious!  The entire experience was life altering.  It was so personal for everyone, so emotional.  Ireland is a magical place, and our wedding was indeed a magical event.  The people, the locations, the music, the flowers, everything was spectacular!  The memories will last a lifetime.
Many, many thanks."

"We had the time of our lives!  I recall the 10 of us sitting down for dinner, near the end of the family's week together, and agreeing that it couldn't have been any more perfect.  Our officiant was a saint! we loved his ceremony and really enjoyed his company that evening. On behalf of our entire group, I thank you for this experience that we never could have achieved without you!  Your expertise led us to nothing short of what we wanted for our ideal wedding in Ireland your attention to detail, and observation of our requests was remarkable.  It was so easy to do to! We've already recommended you to a few of our friends."

"Anne, you are wonderful!  I consider myself very lucky that I found you and that we decided to use your services!  When we started researching castle weddings in Ireland we had no idea if we would be able to pull it all together and to have the wedding that we had always dreamed of.  But Bill and I were completed blown away!  Your vendor suggestions were exactly what we needed.  And we are forever in your debt for finding "our castle" as we lovingly call it.  The Castle was exactly what we had imagined and the owners were wonderfully accommodating.  Our family has thanked us over and over again for a wonderful vacation and an indescribable wedding.   Our wedding was so unique, intimate and extremely romantic.  We can't thank you enough for helping us bring our dream to reality!"

"The wedding was wonderful.  All of our guests raved about it.  Rich and I had a great time, and we both felt very relaxed throughout.  The best part of it, besides the breathtaking scenery everywhere we turned, was that our family and friends really had the chance to get to know each other and Rich and I had plenty of time to spend with everyone.  The pub crawl (in lieu of a rehearsal dinner) was a great introduction to the wedding and gave everyone a chance to relax and have fun.   The pictures at the cliffs were unbelievable and sipping champagne there with our guests was like a fairytale.  No one wanted to leave the wedding.  People were dancing for hours with out stop!"

"Our wedding in Ireland was a dream. It was beyond our dreams. We had the most amazing time, as did our guests. By the time our wedding day arrived our guests seemed to know each other thanks to the wonderful pub crawl. I think our wedding was a real experience for our guests, they had the most fun-filled vacation, saw a beautiful part of Ireland, and got to attend a great party. Many of our guests said this was the most unique, intimate and memorable wedding they have ever been too. Everything was perfect--from the flowers, to the food, to our personally-customized ceremony. We found Anne Lanier has a fast-growing reputation in Ireland, and new vendors were scrambling to become one of her contacts. She is certainly very knowledgeable, professional and graceful in her trade. We hope everyone can think their wedding was the best, like we did, (even though they would be wrong). All our thanks to Anne and her husband Kent.

"Planning a wedding can be stressful, and planning one abroad adds a lot of additional and sometimes unforeseen challenges!  Anne Lanier guided us beautifully through the process and led us to an amazing experience in Ireland.  Since we could not fly to Ireland ahead of time to see the locations and meet the vendors, we were somewhat nervous when we arrived in Ireland several days before the wedding.  But every single location Anne recommended was beautiful.  When we first saw the manor house where we were staying, I was OVERWHELMED with relief.  It was stunning and everyone there was delightful.  Every vendor greeted us warmly as one of Anne Lanier's clients.  We really feel that Anne also went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and special. We can't recommend her services highly enough!"

"We really cannot put into words how wonderful our experience in Ireland was!  The wedding was like a fairy tale - so much better than I had ever imagined!  Everyone and everywhere you recommended was just perfect!  Our weather was amazing and the town was just so perfect.  The castle tower for the wedding was beautiful and the ceremony magical.  The people were so helpful, friendly and caring.  Thank you."

"Meeting you and being able to have you be a part of our wedding and our plans, has been remarkable.  I truly had the best time of my life in Ireland. Your suggestions were everything we hoped for and more! The people were gracious. The musicians were amazing. The ceremony location on the Burren near the cliffs by the sea left my guests and I speechless. Thank you so very much for everything you did in helping us organize our dream wedding! We are so glad we found you and had the chance to add this enriching experience to our lives as well as share it with our families and friends. I hope the rest of the world can be so lucky!"

"My fiancé and I wanted a dream wedding in a castle in Ireland. After much searching and calling we were able to find one to accommodate a small (medieval style) wedding. But now the final details. Where to find the cake, music, flowers, and the.....straw boys? If one is looking for fine details that are difficult to find on line, I highly recommend utilizing the services of Anne, she was a tremendous help! Especially since we live in Toronto Canada and both work 60 hour weeks. We could not have done it without her informative package that was quick, easy, and to the point. Not to mention all the help she gave me on the things I had forgotten, as every bride does. Numerous thanks from Dale and Carolyn in Toronto for everything you did!"
