Bat Mitzvah planning

Anita is an absolute pleasure to work with - she is organized, creative, patient, easy going and fun!
We used A STARR Events for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah and quickly realized that we wouldn't have fared well without Anita. From big items, such as recommending and coordinating other vendors, to small details, such as creating thank you notes/party favors , Anita went far and beyond.
Anita is very professional - she quickly responds to texts and emails, on time, always considerate of costs, willing and ready to help anyway she can. I'd also like to highlight that Anita is easy going and personable. When at the very last moment, literally two days before the party, my husband decided to get a DJ, she was very understanding and just went with the flow.
I'd recommend her without hesitation for events big and small.

Crucial & Absolutely Phenomenal

Anita was an extremely important addition to our wedding day.
She went above and beyond not only the day of, but leading up to the event as well. I can't tell you how much she saved us during times of chaos and held a positive and professional attitude when things became stressful for everyone else.
I would definitely recommend her to my closest family and friends.

Her punctuality, professionalism, organization, and decor skills are only a handful of reasons why you should hire her, even for day of success.
You just simply don't see people with a work ethic like hers anymore.

Thank you Anita so much!
