Tell us a little bit about your business.
Focused on creating elevated events, The Anastasia Collective is a planning and design agency with almost a decade and a half of professional experience. We pay attention to the personal touches at an event that tell your mission’s story or give a peek into a couple’s favorite memory; we create designs so that the brand pops beautifully and cleverly.
There is no event too big, and surely none too intimate.
With a background in events that spans from weddings and related celebrations, to personal milestone events, to nonprofit fundraisers and corporate gatherings, owner and lead designer, Kristy, brings a versatile skillset that can adapt to work with any client and any vendor, in any location. She can produce creativity and individuality while standing firm on her clients’ wishes and wants and making sure every logistical need is met.
We know the value of every single person that we work with and for. We are committed to creating an inclusive and equitable environment through our projects with vendors, clients, and the community.
The Anastasia Collective specializes in design and planning, while happily offering coordination services as well.
What makes your work unique?
Remember how you were told to color in the lines as a child? And if you didn’t, the teacher always said, “That was a good try,” or “We’ll keep working on it so you can do better next time.”
Well, we didn’t learn to stay in the lines.
And we surely don’t tell our clients that you can do better when making decisions about their celebrations. When working with The Anastasia Collective, our team will fully commit to holding your hand as we paint your picture to bring that vision in your mind to life.
If you break your crayon, we’ll replace it with a new one. If you picture is too big for the paper, then we will find a canvas even larger.
These metaphors simply mean you don’t have to follow the same old traditions and set ups you are used to seeing. We will walk into spaces with you to create something new. And we are more than excited to make it happen together.
What is your ideal client like?
Simply, those who are fun.
Whether it is over a a few drinks and happy hour hot apps, laughing through dress fittings and venue walkthroughs, or bonding through the many vendors calls, we love working with people who can find joy in any moment. You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a tattoo artist, or a stay at home mom, as long as you don’t take yourself *too* seriously and are always willing to hear a joke, you would go to the top of our favorites list.
How do you work with couples to bring their wedding dreams to life?
We kick off every one of our client relationships with getting to know the couple’s personality. Understanding your personal aesthetic, dreams, and the most important moments of your celebrations are crucial to our next steps in planning and designing your wedding.
As we begin to pull the different elements of your celebration together, we partner with you to ensure your happiness (from everything from the feel when you walk into the room to the financial bottom line) as we begin committing to a trusted and vetted team of vendors. When you’re investing in celebrations, both financially and emotionally, we never want you to feel alone or unsure in the planning process.
As we work both behind the scenes and in decision making side-by-side with our clients, we will ensure the logistics seamlessly pair with the design elements we’ve married. And when the time finally arrives for execution on the day of the event, we will be there smiling with you through the happy moments and keeping the details moving while you eat, dance your ass off, and are enveloped in love from those in celebration of you.
