Meet one of our Charlotte based lead planners, Anna Brady! She graduated from Hope College (located in Holland, MI) with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and a minor in Worship Leadership. Before joining the AMW team, Anna moved to Charlotte, NC right after graduation and was a full-time Nanny. She found AMW through a friend on Instagram and has been working here ever since!
What would you say are the biggest advantages of hiring a wedding planner?
“I think the biggest advantage of hiring a wedding planner is not having to worry about the little things or 'behind the scenes' things on your big day! We are there to make the day run as smoothly as possible - but if there is a bump along the way we are there to take care of it. That way you aren't bombarded with minor (or major!) items throughout the day that could add on stress or anxiety. Sometimes you might not even know something went wrong on your day because I am there to handle it! You just get to enjoy the day you have been dreaming of and planning for months!!”
Where are some of the cool places this job has taken you?
“Being from Michigan originally, all of the places I have been so far for weddings are new to me! With that being said one of my favorite places I have really enjoyed traveling to for a wedding was Greenville, SC. It is such a fun area to be in that has so much going on. I also got to travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico in June for a destination wedding AMW planned! I had never been there either so I really enjoyed exploring a new city.”
What has been your favorite 2022 wedding trend?
“I am really loving the pops of color that are being brought in - so many ways to incorporate these through florals, linens or other custom items. I also love the lounge sets that clients use during cocktail hour or their reception. It brings such a fun element into the design that looks amazing but also is a comfier form of seating for your guests. Makes for a great photo op too!!”
What is something special you are able to offer our clients?
“I am able to offer our clients a personal relationship during the planning process but more importantly on the day itself. I work with you like you're family! Anything you need? I've got you covered!”
What do you like about what you do? What do you dislike?
“I love being able to work with our clients one on one assisting them in achieving their dreams for their wedding. After helping them plan, my favorite thing about what I do is seeing the client's dreams come together and witnessing their beautiful day full of love and celebration. Being able to walk alongside our couples supporting, loving, celebrating and keeping our brides and grooms stress free at a wedding is so rewarding!”
Lastly, any important must-know tips?
“Take a moment on your wedding day to pause and soak it all up - bask in the best people who came to celebrate you, the beautiful day you just planned and go get on that dance floor and live it up!!”
Thank you so much Anna for all that you do for AMW! We are so thankful that you are a part of this wonderful team!
