Hey Y’all, I’m Ann!

I’m the founder and proud owner of Ann Neely Events; your strategic, creative, fun, and slightly extra events professional. I live for a good timeline, a perfectly fluffed linen, and that moment when the doors open and you see your vision come to life. Whether I’m curating a wedding weekend or a corporate celebration, I’ll care about your event just as much (if not more) than you do, and even better, I make it my mission to be there by your side on event day to make sure you actually get to enjoy it.

I launched ANE with over a decade of experience and more than 1,200 events planned and counting. My event planning approach is rooted in hospitality, integrity, connection, and service. I’m not just your planner; I’m your advocate, your sounding board, and your calm in the chaos. Whether you envision an intimate gathering, a grand black tie evening, or something in-between, I’ll help articulate and execute every detail so that your event feels timeless, meaningful, and true to you.

Outside of being an events professional, I’m all about quality time with my husband David, our family and friends. I love to put my monogram on just about everything, working on re-decorating our home, watching college football, and being David’s sous chef in the kitchen. I love a good book and just enjoying the little things in life (because they really are the big things) while finding the fun in each day and thanking God that I get to live this life!

At ANE (which, fun fact, is also my monogram 🙂), you’re not just getting an events professional; 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.

If you’re ready to feel cared for, celebrated, and completely confident on event day, I’m your person! Let’s begin creating a celebration that feels effortless, elegant, and entirely yours.
