Anne Benisch has always been about more than just planning events; she’s about crafting moments that stick with people. Born in San Jose, California, she landed in Modesto before her first birthday, a move that rooted her in a city she’d later help transform. Today, through her business, Planned by Anne, she’s turning gatherings into something special, whether it’s a polished corporate retreat or a fundraiser that tugs at heartstrings. Her knack for blending creativity with purpose has made her a standout in a field that’s often more about checklists than connection.
