A Passion For Celebrations, Hospitality & Travel
For years, Anita has been helping clients transform ideas into experiences.
What began as a passion for planning and design evolved into a career focused on creating extraordinary celebrations and unforgettable journeys.
Through A. Marie Events & Design, Anita became known for her commitment to service, professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. As her clients' needs evolved, so did her vision.
She recognized that destination weddings and travel experiences required more than event planning alone.
They required someone who could guide clients through both the celebration and the journey.
Someone who understood not only logistics but also hospitality.
Someone who could advocate for clients, simplify the planning process, and create a cohesive experience from beginning to end.
That realization led to the creation of Destinations by A. Marie Events.
Today, Anita combines destination wedding expertise with professional travel planning to provide a seamless, personalized experience for couples, families, and travelers seeking more than just a trip.
Because the most meaningful experiences deserve thoughtful guidance.
Planning Experiences That Bring People Together
For Anita Craine, travel has never been simply about visiting a destination.
And celebrations have never been simply about an event.
At their core, both are about connection.
​
Connection to the people we love, the places we explore, the memories we create, and the experiences that stay with us long after the journey ends.
​
That belief became the foundation for Destinations by A. Marie Events.
As both a Destination Wedding Planner and Travel Advisor, Anita has built a business dedicated to helping clients celebrate life's most meaningful moments through thoughtfully curated experiences, exceptional service, and personalized support.
​
Whether planning a destination wedding in the Caribbean, a luxury honeymoon, a family vacation, a milestone celebration, or a group getaway, her goal remains the same:
To create experiences that feel seamless, meaningful, and unforgettable.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Luxury Is How You Feel
​
Luxury is often misunderstood.
​
It is not defined by extravagance.
​
It is not measured by price.
​
And it is not limited to five-star resorts or exotic destinations.
​
True luxury is feeling cared for.
​
It is having confidence that every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
​
It is knowing someone is advocating for your experience behind the scenes.
​
It is the freedom to fully enjoy the moment because you trust that everything has been handled.
​
This philosophy guides every recommendation, every itinerary, every destination wedding, and every client experience.
Because luxury should never feel complicated.
​
It should feel effortless.
