If you want absolutely stunning wedding photos and to work with two of the nicest people on earth, then look no further than Beth Joy Photography. Working with Bethany and John was such a delight from the very moment we had our initial call. We were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Bethany and John and we had such a fun day in Downtown St. Pete. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and as if we weren't even having our picture taken. Our engagement pictures were stunning and we were so excited to have them photograph our wedding, as well. Throughout our engagement, Bethany kept in touch and made sure we were up to speed with everything. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. As the wedding day approached, Bethany worked with our wedding planner to finalize the timeline details and ensured that she had a list of all of our requested shots and family photo combinations. When wedding day arrived, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We were so fortunate to have Bethany, John, and Amy (Bethany's sister) photograph our day. The three of them are truly the most genuine, fun, and caring people you will meet and they were such a joy to work with. Not only that, but they captured the most amazing photographs and we are still FLOORED at how beautiful the pictures are. We have yet to create a photo album because we just may have to include every photo since they are all THAT good. Bethany, John, and Amy truly have an eye for capturing the perfect lighting and colors (our sunset photos were to die for). They made us feel at ease during our couples portraits and managed to sneak some amazing candid shots. We cannot thank Beth Joy Photography enough for the most amazing gift of our beautiful wedding photos. We will treasure them forever!

It was the best floral I could possible work with! I’m so glad I found ana. Her team was great. Clear quote, no hidden fees, the floral design came up better than I could possibly imagine. The guests kept saying complements all evening long and we weee able to have the flowers after the event. The flowers were fresh and looks great.

Alisa was one of the vendors I was most excited to work with on our wedding day, for so many reasons! She and Wayne made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable during the engagement session and we had SO much fun. The photos turned out INCREDIBLE and we got so many comments from friends that the photos were such high quality. On our wedding day, Alisa again brought the energy and expertise! She turned all our little details into gorgeous photos, made time for little moments throughout the day, and absolutely went above and beyond to help me and my family. She and Wayne are a dream to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! We are so thankful to have had such a qualified, fun, and kind team. Thank you!!!

I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding reception so very special. I know every bride has wonderful things to say about her vendors, but Bridge Street Bistro is more than just a beautiful setting with fantastic food (even though that would’ve been enough). From the very beginning, Jennifer was available, courteous, and flexible. Our wedding was initially planned for March 23rd, the start of COVID. We were determined to make it and waited til last minute to postpone. She was so kind throughout the process and I’ll never forget her saying “Even it your guests can’t make it, we will make sure the two of you have a very special dinner.” That meant so much to me as I was a nervous wreck! It was clear she meant every word. Just a few highlights: As we were planning, we asked for a plate of oysters to ourselves in case they all ran out while we were taking pictures. I had sort of forgotten about this. When my tired bride self walked into the reception, the first thing I saw was the BEAUTIFUL cheese/fruit plate on our table, with a pile of ahi tuna (and a gorgeous three color sauce, very well plated). Shrimp, oysters, and mussels were then brought to us. They went far above and beyond with this beautiful display and it was delicious. Honestly the tuna was the best I’ve ever had. Chef Ryan, Anthony, and Sydney, were around all night. They not only provided excellent service but were AWESOME to talk to. They helped keep the environment upbeat and fun. It is clear the staff takes pride in their work and that makes all the difference. Even the kitchen staff said hello and were clearly excited to be part of the fun. Everyone raved about the food. It ain’t your typical chicken and potatoes wedding food, that’s for sure. The entrees looked amazing!! I was so full from my seafood and cheese that I couldn’t eat another bite, but they boxed up my entree for me and even the leftover cheese! Many of the places I looked at had strict no leftover policies, and knowing that I could take my wedding food home to try it made the night even better. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making our day so special. Everyone knows the reception is the best part and it absolutely was. I hope I didn’t mess up any names or forget anyone. Y’all are the best!!! Five years later, this was still one of the best nights of my whole life. Guests still tell me how special our reception was (and how great the food was). I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!

Nailah from StackD Cake Studio was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding desserts. From our very first interaction, they were attentive, communicative, and cordial, making the entire process a breeze. The cakes and desserts she created for us were not only delicious, but truly amazing, creative, and over the top. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the flavors to the beautiful design. The final products exceeded our wildest expectations and were the talk of the reception, and when I say the talk I mean that our guests were literally wanting more! Specially the Guava Posset!!! We are so grateful to StackD Cake Studio for helping make our special day even more wonderful.
