Who is Anna: Lead associate Planner

Originally from Connecticut, Anna now lives in sunny Sarasota, Florida, where she’s embraced coastal life with her three kids—Erik, Madeline, and Eislyn. A beach lover with a mountain heart, Anna has spent the last two summers helping plan Montana weddings during Florida’s off season (aka our peak season), and we’re lucky to have her on the Valerie Joy Events team.

With over a decade of experience in the event world, Anna brings calm, creativity, and a deep love for meaningful details to every celebration she touches—whether it’s in Big Sky country or by the Gulf.

When she’s not bringing events to life, you’ll find Anna paddleboarding Florida’s springs, hiking Montana trails, or discovering a new local café (coffee is basically her love language).

Anna continues to support Valerie Joy Events weddings in Montana and is also available for event planning in Florida.
