Out of Box Productions

Experiencia fantástica: We would HIGHLY recommend working with Anthony to anyone getting married. He is very professional, amazing with communication, and helpful in every aspect. Our wedding turned out perfectly and we had very minimal stress throughout the entire planning process. He has a lot of experience and you notice that from your first meeting. Over our time working together, it felt as if he was a part of the family . We really cherished our time with him and will be recommending him to all of our friends! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Anthony as a wedding coordinator! He went above and beyond as a day of coordinator for my daughter's wedding. When we experienced a DM venue canceling the reception 3 months before the wedding, Anthony was on top of it, getting two soft holds at other venues to help reduce the stress. His advice always was spot on and made everything run so smoothly.

Experiencia fantástica: Anthony is an amazing wedding planner. He is knowledgeable about everything wedding in Des Moines. He is very organized. His planning guide is so detailed and he does not miss any small detail. Not only was his planning amazing, but his day-of coordination was above and beyond. Him and his assistants are there for anything needed. The wedding day was very smooth thanks to them. Having a coordinator took so much stress out of the day. I highly recommend Anthony and his team.

Experiencia positiva: We were married on NYE and I can’t say enough positive things about Anthony and his team! The day of the wedding is most definitely where they excel. From the extremely detailed timeline, patience with nerves (and endless questions from me), to dealing with a fun-loving wedding party who weren’t always real good listeners . They made sure the day flowed seamlessly! Also, Anthony’s business partner, Saley Nong is beyond phenomenal! She created the most beautiful flowers, centerpieces, photo wall, canopy, etc and went above and beyond to bring our vision of the romantic winter wonderland to fruition. ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Anthony and his team did an incredible job! He went above and beyond prior to our event, and was always way on top of everything! He is so detail oriented and gave us the best advice for planning along the way. The day of was flawless! Heard so many compliments from guests on how beautiful and smooth everything went! We could not be happier with our experience and had a lot of fun working with Out of Box & Anthony. Would recommend them to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: It is time for Anthony to ascend to his rightful throne on Mt. Olympus as the absolute god of weddings. WE LOVE ANTHONY! We came into this whole wedding planning process with literally ZERO knowledge on how weddings work, and Anthony helped us create the perfect day. There is not a single thing I would change about how our wedding went and that is in large part due to how organized, helpful, sometimes brutally honest, and efficient Anthony was. He is not only an amazing professional, but is someone I would love to get drinks with sometime. He is always ten steps ahead of you and plans with such competence that it is eerily possible he has the gift of clairvoyance. :) I could honestly go on endlessly about how impossible our big day would've been had we not had Anthony's assistance. I also want to give a shout-out to the additional on-site coordinator Anthony provided to us who was named Sarah. She was so sweet and was always ready to give us a hand, go grab things for us, check in on how we're doing/feeling, and was just a lovely presence to have nearby as our nerves were high before the ceremony. If you think you don't need Anthony's help, you're just straight up wrong. This man knows his stuff, knows etiquette, knows class, and knows how to achieve the day of your dreams. I cannot recommend the services of Out of Box Productions enough.

Experiencia fantástica: As a fellow event vendor working with Anthony and Out of Box Productions has been great! They are a class act, professional and has great attention to details.

Experiencia negativa: Would not recommend working with this company or Anthony. He was incredibly rude. He seems to think the most important person in your wedding is him. It's very hard to work with someone who is so full of himself and so inconsiderate of others.

Experiencia fantástica: My sister just got married this weekend, and the show truly could not go on without Anthony. He is a miracle worker, and I will suggest him to ANY bride getting married in Des Moines. My family, the wedding party, the groom’s family, and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help, Anthony! Saley, the flowers were stunning. Sarah, you were calm and awesome. Wish I could rate more than 5 stars.

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter's wedding was last week and involved planning for a large wedding (300). We started meeting with Anthony and his floral designer Saley 10 months in advance. He is always acessible, follows up on all requests, and is professional every step of the way! The bride changed plans with some of the arrangements and Anthony did not blink an eye and supported her decisions with outside vendors. In addition it RAINED during the entire day and we all were "mentally prepared" but Anthony saved the day in many ways. He shopped and purchased a clear umbrella for the bride and groom's first look which was essential throughout the rest of the day. Everything at Sticks was ready and twinkling when we arrived after the ceremony. I could go on and on but would not hesitate to hire Anthony and Saley for your wedding. Sue VanEssen
