Hey Y’all, I’m Ann!
I’m the proud owner of Ann Neely Events, where I transform life’s big and small moments into unforgettable experiences. With over a decade of experience and more than 1,000 events planned and counting, I believe in the magic of bringing people together to celebrate!
As a lifelong lover of to-do lists and being the go-to person for putting a plan in place, I thrive on the details. Whether it's carefully crafting a seating chart, creating timelines down to the minute, or solving problems no one sees coming — I am your go-to girl to ensure every aspect of your event is flawlessly managed and handled.
Outside of planning events, I’m all about quality time with my husband, David, our family, and friends! I love to put my monogram on just about everything , curling up with a great book, watching college football, and being David’s sous chef in the kitchen.
I’m passionate, empathetic, and deeply caring. I will care about your event as much—if not more—than you do! At ANE (which, fun fact, is also my monogram 🙂), you’re not just getting an event planner; you’re gaining a passionate and dependable partner in planning, ensuring that I will invest as much love and attention into your event as you do.
Let’s make your event incredible together!
